The sky was bright, and Gu Li opened his eyes.

She looked around and didn't find Yan Qing's figure, so she expected that he was gone.

He always seems to be mysterious, coming and going without a trace, unpredictable and unpredictable.

Gu Li washed up briefly, stuffed two mouthfuls of leftover dry food from yesterday, cleaned the house again, and went out to find the owner of this house and retreat from the house.

At that time, she said that she would rent this house for a month, and now she does not plan to live here, and the landlord is also a good talker, even if he returns half of the rent to her.

The place where she is now is a remote mountain village in Nanyun Kingdom, and two days further on the road, you can reach the capital of Gaochang Kingdom. Nanyun and Gaochang are both small border countries, and they are tenacious and difficult to survive in the gap between the two great powers, Qi and Yue.

Gu Li's destination is the place where Gaochang Kingdom and Nanyun Kingdom border, this place is far away from Yue Kingdom, and the terrain is complicated, so it is not easy to find. And whether it is to enter Gaochang Kingdom or return to Nanyun Kingdom, it is very convenient.

Yue Guo is where she came from, and she doesn't dare to go back anyway.

Gu Li hired a carriage and sent her to her destination when it was about to be dusk.

This is a remote border town called Ning County, with a small population and simple people.

Before it got dark, she gave all the money she had left and rented a small house.

The house was small, with two rooms surrounded by low courtyard walls, and the courtyard walls were mottled with green moss due to the recent rains. The location of the house is not good, it is far from the city center, but Gu Li is satisfied, at least, she has a place to shelter from the wind and rain here temporarily.

She planned to go out early tomorrow morning to find work. She knows how to heal, both Chinese and Western medicine, and she doesn't believe that she can't support herself here.

After simply cleaning the house and eating a few mouthfuls of dry food, she lay down on the bed.

In the past few days, tired and afraid, she has long been exhausted, and now she is lying on the bed, and she falls asleep in the blink of an eye.

However, when she was asleep, she suddenly heard someone knocking on her door.

Gu Li woke up and became vigilant. She came here on the first day today, and who came to her in the middle of the night?

"Is anyone there?"

With a gentle knock on the door, a soft voice came, like a warm night breeze.

Gu Li was stunned, this voice-

It's him?

How is it him?

After a moment's hesitation, she got up and went to open the door.

The moment the door was opened, Yan Qing was slightly stunned when he saw her. Immediately, he hooked the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Miss Gu." ”

He is still long and jade, dressed in white and fluttering, as if riding the wind and clouds.

"You are—" Gu Li frowned and looked at him, full of doubts in his heart.

She suspected that he had come with her, otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

However, Yan Qing explained: "I traveled here, and before I knew that it was late, I wanted to find a place to spend the night, but I didn't want to, and I met Miss Gu again." ”

Gu Li will be suspicious, not fully convinced, nor completely unbelieving.

"Young Master Yan, please come in." Gu Li turned sideways and said to him.

When she first came here, she was already a little apprehensive, but now she saw an acquaintance, and she unexpectedly settled down a little.

Since she came here, she and Yan Qing have met night and night, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.

"Thank you." Yan Qing entered the gate and followed her forward.

He looked around quietly, taking in the two houses in the courtyard and the mossy courtyard wall.

Gu Li took him to the next room and lit the lamp.

"I've been wronged."

"Thank you, girl." Yan Qing bowed slightly and replied.

Gu Li smiled at him and went back to his room.

Lying down again, she soon fell asleep again. I slept more soundly and deeply than before.

Yan Qing didn't sleep, he sat on the bed, his deep eyes looked deeper and brighter against the dim light.

Of course, he didn't happen to pass by here to spend the night, but why he came here, why he saw her every night, even he himself hadn't figured it out.

He sat quietly for a long time, and a smile suddenly rose on his beautiful face. This smile did not match the deep meaning in his eyes at all.

He sat in silence all night, and did not leave the room until it was light.

He still walked slowly, with a grim complexion and a deep, elusive look.

At this time, Gu Li hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't know that he was getting farther and farther away from him.

One step, two steps, five zhang, ten zhang, twenty zhang......

The familiar tightness came slowly, and the farther he went, the heavier the sensation became, until at last, he could barely breathe. But his handsome face was calm, and he even raised a knowing smile.

He had faced the darkness alone for three hundred years, and she was the first, and perhaps the only, ray of light he had seen in those three hundred years.

Like a gust of wind, he disappeared and disappeared without a trace.

When Gu Li woke up, the sky was already bright.

She got up and went out of the house, and when she saw the door of the next room open, she went over and looked.

There was no one in there anymore, only the lamp that had burned out of oil, and was still standing alone at the head of the bed.

It seems that he is gone.

Gu Li bit her lip, thinking that he always came and went without a trace, she took him in last night, and he didn't even say hello when he left.

She didn't bother with it for long, just cleaned herself up and went out.

She can't be relied on now, and if she wants to survive here, she must find a job.

The city is very small, with only one pharmacy and three medical centers.

Gu Li entered a relatively large medical center, and there were guys who helped in this medical hall, and when they saw her, they greeted her warmly, and asked her which doctor she wanted to find to see a doctor.

Gu Li shook his head and said his intention.

When the young man heard her say that she wanted to come here to be a doctor, he immediately refused, and his voice was much colder: "We already have two doctors here, and there is no shortage of them." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Gu Li didn't entangle, she left this clinic and went to the next one.

But this time the situation was even worse, after hearing her explain her intentions, the people in the hospital thought she was messing around and kicked her out.

No matter how Gu Li explained, they didn't believe that a young girl like her could heal.

Gu Li sighed and went to the last one.

The clinic is small, family-like, but there are a lot of people in it. She had just arrived, and for some unknown reason, she watched at the door for a moment before she walked in.

There was only one doctor, a thin middle-aged man, sitting behind an old desk checking people's pulses, and behind him there were several others waiting to see a doctor.

After diagnosing the pulse, he took a pen and wrote the prescription, and then went to the medicine cabinet to grab the medicine according to the prescription. After grabbing the medicine and collecting the money, he turned back to see the next patient.

Gu Li saw that he was busy and didn't bother him, so he kept standing by the door and waiting.

I waited until noon.

The doctor had seen the last patient and was about to go back for lunch, when he suddenly saw her standing by the door.

"The girl is also here to see the doctor?" He asked her, his demeanor mild.

Gu Li shook his head and hesitated for a moment, then he mustered up the courage to speak: "I want to ask, do you still lack doctors here?" ”
