Chapter 18: Can't Keep Him Anymore
"Who are you suing? Who died? The official shouted and asked.
"No one died, I was almost poisoned by the little lady of the fairy grass hall!"
……
About a quarter of an hour later, a group of people dressed in official costumes hurried in the direction of the Immortal Grass Hall.
At this moment, Yan Qing is at home. He was standing in the courtyard, holding Gu Li's medical book in his hand, and was looking at it carefully. The golden sunlight shone on his dusty snow-like robe, and his expression was elegant and gentle, as if one could let down all his guard with just one look.
After a moment, he suddenly put down the book, turned his eyes in the direction of the door, and a small smile rose on his lips, as if waiting for something.
After another moment, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Yan Qing's face was calm, and he walked over slowly and opened the door.
When he saw the person outside the door, he smiled slightly. He knew the person who came, it was the daughter of Doctor Qin of Xiancaotang.
Qingqing stood at the door, her face full of anxiety, and asked, "Is Sister Pear at home?" ”
Yan Qing responded: "It's really unfortunate, she has something to go out." ”
Qingqing hurriedly said again: "You must know where she went, right?" Tell her quickly that she must not come back. ”
Yan Qing frowned slightly, his face puzzled.
"Why?"
"Someone accused her of prescribing the wrong medicine and curing the wrong disease, and now the people in the yamen are still in the fairy grass hall, my father asked me to hurry up and tell Sister Li, let her hide first and don't show up." Qingqing said as she looked back, as if to see if those errand soldiers were chasing after her.
Yan Qing nodded: "Thank you for telling me." ”
Qingqing instructed him again, and left in a hurry.
Yan Qing didn't act immediately, but thought quietly for a while before going out.
He went to the bazaar, picked a horse slowly, and led the horse out of the city at a leisurely pace. His leisurely posture is like going out to enjoy the scenery.
Gu Li was still on the road at this time, and she was uneasy in her heart, not knowing what kind of result would be waiting for her ahead.
Yesterday afternoon, when she prescribed medication to the migraine patient, she deliberately did not clearly inform the drug reaction. When the man went home and took the medicine, he was very likely to vomit and diarrhea, and he could not sleep all night. He was short-tempered, and in addition to his illness, he would definitely not take her instructions to him to drink more water in his heart, and would inevitably think that she had prescribed the wrong medicine.
She swore yesterday afternoon, telling him that if something went wrong with her medicine, she could go to the yamen to sue her. At first glance, the man was not a person who could suffer, he vomited and diarrhea all night, and after suffering so much, he would definitely go to the yamen to sue her.
If someone complains, the government will accept it. However, not only did she take leave today and was not in Xiancaotang, but she also went out of the city. If someone from the government goes to get her, they will definitely pounce.
If Yan Qing really knew her true identity, if he really thought about her safety, he would definitely come to chase her and ask her not to go back for the time being.
After all, that night, he also said that Gu Wei's daughter, who escaped from death, would definitely lose her life once she fell into the hands of the government and her true identity was found out.
If he wanted her to live, he would chase her. If he knew about it and didn't do anything about it, he didn't care about her life or death. Just like that day, Zhong Liyu held a sword against her, not only did he not come to the rescue, but he was still talking cool words next to him.
Will he come? Gu Li didn't have much confidence in her heart. She didn't know what he was thinking, she couldn't see through him.
But she must know whether he and her are friends or foes, and whether he is by her side out of good intentions or out of hostility.
So, she came up with this method to test his sincerity.
The carriage carried her along at a leisurely pace, and arrived at her destination at noon. However, until this time, she had not seen Yan Qing's figure.
Gu Li got out of the carriage, looked up at the sun overhead, and then lowered his head, feeling lonely for a while.
It's this time, he hasn't come yet, so nine times out of ten, he won't come.
She bit her lip, carried a basket of incense candles and paper money, and walked to the place where Xiao Yezi and Mama Jiang were buried.
Two new tombs, standing alone. As soon as she walked over, Gu Li's heart was filled with sourness and sadness, and she couldn't help but think of the night she had just come here.
That night was also the first time she met him. Later, with his help, she buried Mama Jiang and Xiao Yezi.
Recently, there has been a lot of rain, which has washed away some of the soil on the grave. Gu Li put down the basket in his hand, picked up the moist soil with both hands, and carefully trimmed the two tombs.
After repairing the grave, she took out incense candles and paper money and lit them in front of the grave.
The flames of fire reflected her face and scorched her heart.
She was sad, for Mama Jiang and Xiao Yezi, who died because of her, and for herself.
They died, and the two best people in the world were gone, leaving her alone, in this strange world, not knowing where to go, let alone who to believe.
She originally subconsciously regarded him as a straw in this strange world, and wanted to believe him for no reason, however, it turned out that she was wrong.
He didn't care if she lived or died.
The feeling of being empty and lonely in her heart made her feel uncomfortable, and then she threw a handful of paper money into the flames, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Gu Li stayed in front of the grave for a long time, until the burned ashes had completely cooled, then she wiped her tears and stood up.
She brace herself and pretend to be calm, a bright and bitter smile on her lips.
No matter what happens to him, life has to go on, doesn't it?
As for his whereabouts, she also has the answer in her heart.
Since his presence meant danger to her, she had to keep him.
Gu Li stood in front of the grave for a while, strengthened his heart, and then turned to leave.
The carriage she hired was waiting for her in the city, and it only took her a quarter of an hour to get to the city before she could get back into it. At this time, it is not early, and it is estimated that it will be dark when you get home.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Gu Li walked to the city, got into the car, and the carriage carried her again, along the road from which she came.
After a short walk, the carriage entered a wooded field. Gu Li opened the corner of the car curtain, looked at the scenery in front of her like an oil painting, and sighed in her heart: The scenery here is quiet.
However, at this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from a distance, instantly breaking the silence around them.
At the same time, the nervous and panicked voice of the driver driving in front of her also penetrated her ears.
"Oh no, he's got a bandit! What can I do now? ”
Gu Li's heart tightened violently, and when she looked forward through the car window, she saw a large group of bandits coming violently, and the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, bringing up large pieces of dust flying in the air.
She suddenly became nervous and scared, in this wilderness, the other party is outnumbered, and they are bandits who kill people without blinking, how can they be enemies? How can I get out of it?
