Chapter 228: Owe Me a Meal
The scene he saw in front of him made Gu Li stunned.
"Bang dang", the long sword that flashed with cold light fell to the ground.
The tall body of the man holding the sword slowly fell backwards, and with a "bang", it fell to the ground.
At the center of his eyebrows, there was a stone nailed to him.
Gu Li was so frightened that she was about to stop breathing, and she was about to scream, but she was suddenly hugged into her arms.
She was like a frightened bird at this time, subconsciously thinking that it was the gangster who was holding her, so she was frightened and struggled desperately.
"It's me."
The man didn't let go of her, but a gentle, familiar voice entered her ears.
Gu Li stopped struggling and raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of panic and fright.
"Alright." Yan Qing lowered his eyes and looked at her, smiling slightly, but only gave her these two words of comfort.
Gu Li was shocked and crashed into his arms. Like a small boat in a storm, it has found a warm harbor. is like a child who has been wronged and frightened, and suddenly sees the person she can trust the most.
No matter how entangled she was with him, she always knew that he would not harm her.
She leaned into his arms and pressed her cheek against his chest. The sound of a steady heartbeat penetrated into her ears, bringing her solace and peace.
She didn't cry, but two lines of tears poured out uncontrollably, wetting the hem of his snow-white clothes.
She had no idea what was going on, and her mind was still confused. Why do you suddenly encounter gangsters on the road? Why did this gangster take her life? Why did Yan Qing appear at this time?
Everything, she didn't know.
Yan Qing gently hugged her in his arms, feeling her panic and melting her nervousness.
She didn't move, and he didn't move. She didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything.
She's tough, resolute, and independent, but at the end of the day, she's just a little girl.
After a long time, Gu Li left Yan Qing's arms.
Seeing the water stain on Yan Qing's clothes that was soaked with her tears, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. However, when she saw the dead man on the ground with wide eyes wide open, surprise and confusion immediately replaced the embarrassment in her heart.
"Who is he?" Gu Li asked.
"I don't know." Yan Qing responded softly.
"Dead?" Gu Li looked at him suspiciously.
Yan Qing smiled slightly and nodded.
Gu Li looked at the person who fell to the ground again, and saw that there was only a wound on his forehead on his body, which was embedded in the stone, and he didn't even shed blood, so he died with his eyes wide open.
This stone was punched in by Yan Qing?
How far away could he kill a person so easily?
"Let's go." Yan Qing said softly, interrupting her thoughts.
"Then this personβ" Gu Li glanced at the dead man again.
Just throw it here?
"Someone will take care of it later", Yan Qing replied, and smiled at her again, "Let's go, let's go to Xinghualou for breakfast." β
His smile was gentle and elegant, like the warm winter sun, like the spring breeze, without the slightest sign of killing a person just now.
"Hmm." Gu Li responded and went with him.
"Why are you here?" Gu Li asked.
She woke up early and went out early, leaving without telling anyone, how did he meet her here and save her?
"The sound of you opening the door woke me up, so I got up and planned to go to Xinghualou for breakfast." Yan Qing said with a smile.
Gu Li raised her eyes to look at him, her face questioning.
Awakened by the sound of her opening the door? It's unlikely, she was very careful when she opened the door, and she didn't make much noise at all.
He sleeps so shallowly?
"Anyway, I saved you." Yan Qing stopped her suspicions with a word, and said, "So, you can invite me to eat this meal." β
Gu Li's train of thought was taken away by him, and he replied: "Okay." β
However, as soon as she said this word, she suddenly realized that she had promised too much. Because, she has no money.
"But I don't have any money." Gu Li frowned, with embarrassment on her face.
All her savings and wages were taken out to buy medicinal herbs for the victims, if it weren't for Yan Qing and Chun Huitang to take care of her food and housing, she would definitely be living on the streets now.
Yan Qing smiled softly, and suddenly took out a small notebook and a pencil, and wrote on the small notebook.
"On the second day of the eighth month, I owe a breakfast meal." As he wrote, he read it out of his mouth.
Gu Li: "......"
He even had this trick.
"Let's sign it." Yan Qingxiao looked at her and handed her the pen and paper.
Gu Li took it and signed his name.
"Alright." She gave him back the notebook and pencil.
This pencil was taught to him by Gu Li, and when she taught him a medical course, she complained a few times that she was too slow to write with a brush, and introduced the pencil. Unexpectedly, Yan Qing actually made a pencil according to what she said.
The two walked forward side by side and went to Xinghualou for breakfast.
Yan Qing didn't tell her the truth just now, and he wasn't woken up by the sound of her opening the door. He had already woken up, and followed her moments after she went out.
Although he had already warned Gu Zhilan, he still couldn't rest assured, which was why he had to personally bring her back last night.
But he wasn't going to tell her about these things. With him, she would not be in danger.
Gu Li still had a question in his heart that was not resolved, so he asked again: "You say, that person, why did he kill me?" β
"I'll go to the government office later, maybe it will be clear." Yan Qing replied.
"Hmm." Gu Li nodded and responded.
Someone suddenly died on the street in Changning City, and it was impossible for the government to ignore it. She was in a hurry to go to the observation hospital to treat the patient, and she couldn't get out of it at all, but someone had to deal with that matter, so she could only let him go.
The government confirmed the identity of that person and investigated the reason, and the hidden situation in this can be understood.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Yan Qing sent her to the observation center again and watched her go in.
"Don't come in, it's full of infection." Gu Li said to him, her voice was much softer, and she smiled at him.
"Okay." Yan Qing agreed very obediently.
Gu Li turned around and entered the door of the observation center, put on an isolation gown, a mask and gloves, and then entered the patient gathering area.
Mei Zhiyan was already here, Gu Li walked over to him and asked, "How is the situation?" β
Through her gaze, Gu Li could see Mei Zhiyan and smiled.
"The situation is good, and the overall condition of the patient has improved a lot after this night. There are only a few of them, and they still don't get better. Mei Zhiyan replied.
Even if it's not completely better, this news is great news for them.
