Chapter 38 There is no money, there is a life
That little ghost Li Yan had seen when she entered Yuelai Pavilion, he was standing under the eaves not far from the restaurant, thin and small, there were too many such children among the refugees, Li Yan didn't pay much attention to it.
I didn't think about it, so I left it there and waited for the rabbit.
As soon as they came out, he rushed forward, grabbed the sachet and ran away.
When Li Yan was shocked, the child had run out dozens of meters away.
"Catch the thief." Li Yan shouted and chased after him.
Gu Xuan frowned slightly.
Xiao Qi flew away, and in a few breaths, the little child was cleverly pressed to the ground by him.
The little ghost couldn't move, and he was still clutching the sachet in his hand.
"Don't let go yet." Xiao Qi's sword handle pressed on his shoulder and patted it slightly, the little ghost was in pain, snorted softly, but the hand holding the sachet was tighter.
"The bones are quite hard." While Xiao Qi was talking, Li Yan ran over.
"Don't do it." She said.
Xiao Qi has always controlled the force in his hands, where would he really do anything to a child, just to scare him.
Hearing this, as soon as he let go of his hand, the child collapsed to the ground.
Probably frightened, in a panic, the little ghost's left hand was pressed by himself at a strange angle, only to hear a click, fractured.
The imp's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he bit his lower lip tightly and kept silent.
The imp was ragged, skinny, and looked dark and dirty.
When Li Yan squatted down to look at him, he looked up and looked at her with a pair of large, dark eyes.
The sachet was pressed under him by him, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't touch my sachet." ”
Li Yanle was happy, "This is my sachet, when will it become yours?" ”
The little ghost's face was flushed, like a strong man breaking his wrist, "If you don't want money, you have a life." ”
"You can take my life as you like."
Li Yan smiled, "Your life, what is the use of me?" ”
"So what do you want? Tell you, I'm not going to pay you back the sachets. The little ghost gritted his teeth, his tone was very hard, but his eyes were very timid.
At first glance, it is very tender, and I am afraid that this is the first time that such a thing has been stolen.
Li Yan stood up and said to Xiao Qi, "Tired, give him a straight bone." ”
Before Xiao Qi could make a move, the little ghost shouted, "I don't need you to be kind." ”
"If you don't learn well at a young age, you want to be a thief, and you don't know what to do, so you should be arrested and sent to prison and sit through the bottom of the prison."
The people around couldn't stand the excitement anymore, and they were trying to persuade them to send people to the government.
The little ghost's face turned pale, and he was obviously scared to death, but he held on to himself, and he was dead on the ground, as if he was stuck to the bluestone slab.
"So, if you tell me why you want to steal money, then I'll consider giving you the sachet, how about it?" Li Yan said in a consultative tone.
The little ghost looked at him suspiciously.
Li Yan gave Kumquat a look, and Kumquat said to the crowd of onlookers, "It's okay, it's okay, let's disperse." ”
Passers-by saw that there was no drama to see, and quickly dispersed.
Li Yan said softly, "Believe me now." Don't worry, I won't report to the official. You get up first, and let the guard brother help you connect the bones first. ”
Xiao Qi watched the little girl abduct the child, and she didn't know what the hell she was thinking.
He didn't think she would be so kind, people stole her things, and she repaid her with virtue, which is not what a little girl would do.
Gu Xuan nodded at him, and Xiao Qi, under the hint of his master, started to help the little ghost renew his bones.
That little ghost was really tough, gritted his teeth, and didn't snort.
After a cup of tea, the child sat in the carriage with them, accompanied by Gu Xuan's master and servants.
The child's name was Jill, and he had wandered here from the Northland with his parents.
My father died in exile, and my mother was seriously ill, so she stole money to treat her mother.
.....................
The land temple in the west of the city has been abandoned for a long time, overgrown with weeds and dilapidated.
The cobwebs were dusty in the room, and Ding was lying on the haystack in the corner, and it was difficult to even open his eyes when he saw them.
"Mother, I'm back, and I've invited a doctor." Jill ran over in a few steps.
Seeing the child, there was a smile on Ding's sallow face.
As soon as Li Yan saw her face, she knew that Ding was afraid that she would not be able to do much.
She stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll give you a pulse." ”
Ding smiled reluctantly, "There is a female doctor." ”
Li Yan lifted the thin quilt and put a pulse on Ding's wrist, her eyes condensed slightly.
Jill asked worriedly, "Miss, is my mother still saved?" ”
Li Yan withdrew her hand, covered Ding with a thin quilt, and called Jill aside.
He took out a pen and paper from his sleeve pocket and gave him a prescription, "Go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine according to this prescription, and give it to your mother on time every day, which will temporarily relieve her pain." ”
Li Yan sighed and said in a low voice, "Your mother has been suffering for a long time, and time is short, so you should be by her side these days." ”
Jill's face was pale, and she held the prescription for a long time.
"Son." Her mother called him.
He secretly wiped away his tears, and when he turned around, he showed a smiling face, "Mother, I brought back some pastries that you like to eat, do you want to try them." ”
The people present couldn't help but sigh when they saw it.
Li Yan and Gu Xuan each left some silver for the child and left silently.
The way back was faster than when he came, and Gu Xuan said that he needed to stay in Hejun for a few days if he had something to do.
Li Yan booked an inn for them nearby, and after settling the people down, she went home with Kumquat.
As she leaves the inn, she notices something strange.
The coachman who sent them to Wuling stayed behind and lived in the private room next to the young man.
On this trip to Wuling, what made Li Yan most curious was this coachman.
This driver is like an invisible man, except for driving them, he doesn't talk or touch.
Wearing a hat, mysterious, I don't know where Gu Xuan found such a person.
................
Xiaochun sat on the threshold of the medicine fragrance hall, looking at the bluestone pavement at the mouth of the alley, motionless.
The rain has been falling, and the wind is strong and a little cold at the entrance of the medicine fragrance hall.
Qin Xiaochun was only wearing a short brown when he came, his face was a little pale, he shrunk, and looked at the alley from time to time out of the corner of his eye.
He came three times yesterday, but he didn't see Li Yan's master and servant.
He also went to the rain prayer ceremony and rain thanksgiving ceremony in the county square.
Li Yan has been busy, and he can't bother him.
He didn't have anything important to do when he came to Yaoxiangtang, but he was a little worried about her and wanted to meet her and talk to her.
In fact, Li Yan's relationship with them only gradually became close three months ago.
Before, Li Yan treated him well, and that was just good.
It's not like now, don't talk about him as a younger brother.
She is very attentive to his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even his homework.
Before, he had some prejudices against Li Yan, thinking that she was good to them, but it was just a whim, not sincere, so he didn't want to see her.
But after a long period of contact, my opinion of her gradually changed.
Li Yan didn't come to look for him these days, and he actually missed her a little in his heart.
Qin Xiaochun watched a carriage drive past the turn of the street.
The green cloth carriage looks very ordinary, but it is not ordinary.
There weren't many horse-drawn carriages on the streets these days, but that wasn't his concern.
Li Yan will not be in the carriage either.
Qin Xiaochun glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and lazily leaned on the back of the door and took a nap.
As he was about to fall asleep, a familiar voice suddenly sounded not far away.
