"What's going on?" Gu Li couldn't help but ask in surprise when she saw that Doctor Qin had a strange look on their faces.

After a moment of silence, Jin Zhi replied to her words first: "Sister, Xiancaotang, I don't plan to open it anymore. ”

Gu Li was stunned and looked at Doctor Qin in surprise.

Doctor Qin sighed and said to her: "Now that the people's livelihood is withering, business can't be done, and the hospital can't be opened. I'm already planning to go back to my hometown in Tongxian County, and the guys in the fairy grass hall were all dismissed a few days ago. ”

Gu Li didn't react for a while, the Immortal Grass Hall is running well, why can't it be opened?

Why can't it be opened? After the Gaochang people occupied the city, in addition to acting a little arrogantly, they didn't do anything hurtful, which won't make the business untenable, right?

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Li really couldn't understand what had happened during her absence, so she asked again.

Doctor Qin's face was sad, he sighed again, and explained to her: "Although the people of Gaochang do not set fire to the city or slaughter it, they firmly control all kinds of business transactions. ”

"I'm losing money every day, and two days ago, there was news that all the shops in the city would be closed, isn't this just forcing people to leave?" Zhang's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his voice was low, "The price of rice has been sold for one tael of silver and two buckets, and this day is really unbearable!" ”

As a doctor, Dr. Qin is full of benevolence, but in the end, he opened a medical clinic to make a living, and his family needs to be supported. So, he can't afford it.

While these houses can still be sold for some money, it is better to sell them quickly and take the money back to their hometown to farm and live. If it is seized in the future, there is really nothing.

"Sister Pear, why don't you come with us." Qingqing looked at her with sincere eyes.

Now the city is not safe, everyone is starving, the price of food is too high to afford it, there will be displaced people outside the city, who knows what will happen in the future? Therefore, it is safer to go back to the countryside.

Gu Li pondered for a moment, but shook her head and declined her kindness.

"Where to go, I still have to discuss with my brother."

If she really can't stay here anymore and wants to leave, she will go with Yan Qing.

"Sister, I'm with you." Jin Zhi suddenly clenched her hand and looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Her life was saved by Gu Li, so she wanted to stay with her. If she wants to stay, then she won't leave.

Gu Li agreed without hesitation: "Okay." ”

She smiled at Jin Zhi, and Jin Zhi laughed too.

At the beginning, she let Jin Zhi live in the Fairy Grass Hall, firstly, so that she could get familiar with the operation of the Fairy Grass Hall as soon as possible, and secondly, because she had no spare room at home.

Now, the Immortal Grass Hall is no longer open, and Doctor Qin has to drag his family away, so it is not appropriate for Jin Zhi to follow them again.

Therefore, Gu Li said to Doctor Qin: "Jin Zhi will follow me in the future, the two of us can take care of each other when we are in one place." ”

Doctor Qin nodded.

When Gu Li left Doctor Qin's house, she felt indescribably bitter in her heart. Not so long ago, she never dreamed that things would turn out like this.

Before the Chinese New Year, Dr. Qin said goodbye to them one by one, sent them red envelopes, and agreed to come back on the sixth day of the first lunar month after the New Year. When they left, they all swore and were full of enthusiasm, and they all believed that the next year would be better.

Unexpectedly, with the Gaochang people entering the city on Chinese New Year's Eve, all their wishes and aspirations became empty. They can't go back.

At this moment, Gu Li was walking on the street, only to feel depressed.

The sun had already risen, and at this time, she was hurriedly walking on the way to the fairy grass hall, and the road was lively and bustling. Now, as far as the eye can see, most of the shops are closed, and the vendors are nowhere to be seen.

There were quite a few pedestrians on the street, but all of them walked with their heads down, their faces full of sorrow, and their faces were full of vegetables, and no one said a word.

Gu Li walked on such a street, looking at these silent people, and felt depressed and uncomfortable in her heart.

Occasionally, a team of Gaochang cavalry passed by, with fresh clothes and angry horses, and their demeanor was flying, which formed a sharp contrast with it.

Gu Li has seen that these Gaochang people do not kill people or slaughter the city, but they still torture and displace these innocent people, turning this originally peaceful small city into starvation.

She hurried through the silent streets with the golden branch and returned home.

Yan Qing went home after separating from her this morning, and when Gu Li came back, he saw that a hot meal had been set on the table.

She was in a low mood, and simply said a few words to him, telling him that the Fairy Grass Hall was not open, and Doctor Qin was going back to his hometown, and Jin Zhi would follow them later.

Yan Qing listened with a smile on his face, noncommittal, and his expression was leisurely.

"Let's eat." He said to them.

Gu Li looked at the table full of sumptuous and asked, "The dishes you went to buy?" ”

Yan Qing nodded.

"Your brother is really rich!" Jin Zhi quietly pulled Gu Li's sleeve and whispered to her.

Gu Li smiled dryly, didn't reply, and only let her eat.

"I heard that rice has been sold for one tael of silver and two buckets." Gu Li said while drinking the fragrant rice porridge boiled.

"Hmm." Yan Qing should be reconciled.

"It's too expensive, who can afford it!" Gu Li sighed.

A family of three can eat one or two pieces of silver in one meal. I really can't live this day.

Yan Qing raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze was elegant and gentle, like the warm sun of spring: "No matter how expensive it is, it won't starve you." ”

Gu Li couldn't help laughing, the gloom of the morning was dispelled by his playful and warm words.

But after eating, she began to think about a serious question.

Now that life is so difficult here, she can't go out to work, so why should she stay here?

"The Gaochang people have occupied the city, why do they still do this?" Gu Li didn't quite understand the reason, so she asked.

Yan Qing sat on the bluestone platform in the courtyard, with his piano in front of him, and he was adjusting the piano sound.

He heard Gu Li's words, and replied nonchalantly: "The people of Gaochang have a lot of ambitions, they want to annex Nanyun in its entirety and incorporate it into their own territory, so they will definitely not do such an extreme thing as killing people and slaughtering the city, so as not to cause greater turmoil." ”

"But if they want to rule the whole of Nagumo quickly, they must establish their own order."

Yan Qing's slender fingers plucked lightly on the strings, and a clear and quaint sound drifted from his fingertips in an instant.

"The old people of Nanyun in the city are not so easy to manage, it is better to drive them away than to kill them."

After he said this, Gu Li roughly understood.
