Chapter 248 Could it be your lover?

"Hello, Comrade Lei, but how come I remember that the person who put the sack on me and the person who beat me were the only ones from beginning to end?" Ji Moliang rubbed his head, it hurt.

Lin Xiaoliu quickly tried to cover for him: "The doctor said you also injured your head, it could be a concussion, or it could be memory loss, anyway, what I said is true. Um, you rest first, I'll go out and get you something to eat... City people are precious, lying in bed for two days straight, I've already spent all the twenty yuan Brother Chuan gave me..."

Fearing that Ji Moliang would continue to ask questions, Lin Xiaoliu quickly fled the ward. Ji Moliang, on the other hand, felt that it must be retaliation from Shan Jianhua's family!

She resented him for speaking up for Cen Yan, so she had someone put a sack over his head and beat him up! But if you're going to beat someone, why beat up Cen Yan instead of some random passerby?

Once he recovers, he'll make those lunatics in the Shan family pay dearly! Humph!

Cen Yan was unaware that she had unwittingly gained an "ally." She hadn't seen Lin Xiaoliu for the past two days, but today she finally caught him in the guesthouse's cafeteria.

The boy was holding a rice bowl like it was a precious treasure, so much so that he didn't even notice her standing right in front of him, and didn't even say hello. Only when Cen Yan was sure he hadn't seen her did she quickly reach out and grab his wrist.

"Xiao Liu, I haven't seen you for the past two days. Have you been very busy?" Cen Yan asked with a smile, her gaze falling on the rice bowl. "Is there soup in it? For your sweetheart?"

"What kind of lover is this! We're clearly enemies!"

Lin Xiaoliu's expression twisted, and without thinking, he shouted it out. Then, realizing who he was talking to, he blushed and said guiltily:

"Sister-in-law, is that you? No, I'm just drinking the chicken soup here for myself. Yes, for myself. Um, sister-in-law, is there something you need?"

Cen Yan let go of his hand. "It's nothing. I just haven't seen you for the past two days, so I wanted to say hello and ask about your return trip tomorrow."

"Oh! I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days, I have some diarrhea, yes, diarrhea. So, sister-in-law, I won't be going back with you tomorrow, but I had my buddy save you a boat ticket. You can pick it up at the window around nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Lin Xiaoliu made sure to arrange everything for Cen Yan clearly, which pleased Cen Yan quite a bit.

"Okay, thank you for thinking of saving me a ticket. I've prepared a small gift for you, I'll leave it outside your room."

"Thank you, sister-in-law! I'll be going now!"

Watching Lin Xiaoliu disappear in an instant, Cen Yan raised the corner of her lips.

Qi Jingchuan did arrange for a decent person to accompany her; otherwise, even if Lin Xiaoliu, a mere boatman, was to stay in a guesthouse at public expense for a period of time in Blue City, it would be impossible for him to do so.

Neither Qi Jingchuan nor Lin Xiaoliu are liars!

With that thought in mind, Cen Yan packed her food at the guesthouse's cafeteria window and took it back to her room.

Tomorrow we're going back to Dongming Island. Since we still have some time this afternoon, Cen Yan plans to send some medicinal herbs to Sheng Changlong again. Otherwise, who knows when she'll come to Lancheng again, half a month, a month, or even longer.

With this in mind, Cen Yan entered the space after lunch and began to use her mind to harvest the medicinal herbs grown in the black soil of the space. In less than half an hour, a small mountain of medicinal herbs appeared in the open space next to her.

Cen Yan used the spiritual spring water to wash the black soil off the medicinal herbs.

They sorted the herbs, tied them together with hemp rope, and put them into sacks. They carried them all the way to the alley where the Sheng family lived, and then found a secluded spot to move the herbs to an open space.
