Chapter 75
Shen Jiao finally reached out her hand to him and helped him up, like a living Bodhisattva saving people from suffering. Although the Bodhisattva hung a basket full of mutton fat around his neck, Wei Qian was still very moved.
Because the Bodhisattva bought him a set of clothes and a pair of shoes.
Even though they were old clothes from the clothing store and small shoes that didn't fit.
But the Bodhisattva also gave him a hairpin.
Although it is a willow branch picked from the roadside.
But the Bodhisattva gave him a handkerchief to cover the wound on his face.
Although it seems that the Bodhisattva felt uncomfortable seeing it.
But at this time, Wei Qian was very satisfied to have a human being, and even shed a few tears with emotion.
This again caused Shen Jiao to be disgusted: "Can you please stop howling?"
It made her feel like she was helping Xue Shun.
With his arm on her shoulder, Wei Qian, who had difficulty moving forward and was completely supported by Shen Jiao, sniffed and said in a very pathetic manner, "I can't help it!"
Shen Jiao: ...
"How did you get like this?" she couldn't help but ask.
Wei Qian felt wronged: "It's all the fault of the Sixth Young Master. I defected to the Seventeenth Young Master, and he must have found out about it and sent a group of people to kill me."
"It's not in broad daylight, is it? Besides, if the Sixth Young Master really wants to kill you, there's no way you can escape. With your tiny body, a simple pinch would kill you."
Shen Jiao was skeptical.
Wei Qian was choked by her disdainful look: "Anyway, there is one!"
But there was no way he could tell Shen Jiao that they were a group of children.
I can't afford to lose that person.
Xue Lang has always been insidious and cunning. He knew it since the day he was blocked and monitored. However, he did not expect that Xue Lang was so despicable and shameless that he was not even willing to leave him the last bit of dignity. In short, he remembered it and would hide well in the future. He would never come out to seek death unless he was sure of success.
Even though the Seventeenth Young Master didn't like him very much and had a bad attitude towards him, and Shen Jiao bullied him every day, fortunately he didn't do anything else. It was better to be verbally bullied than to lose his life.
The most important thing is that apart from a few maids, Xue Shun has no other trusted forces, and his every move is under everyone's eyes. Even if someone wants to exchange him for money, it is not easy to do.
Don't worry for now.
Alas, it's really sad to think about it. He had known these things for a long time, but he was still uneasy. When he heard that the Sixth Young Master could communicate with the outside world, he immediately found an excuse to run away. He was really impatient.
Wei Qian was feeling sorry for himself and was determined to hide in Liao'e Courtyard forever.
Then Shen Jiao asked again: "Even if he wanted to kill you, you should have died at home by now, why in the county? Your home doesn't seem to be here, right?"
Of course not. Wei Qian was being cautious and did not dare to hide in the city, but only in the wild. That was why Xue Lang was able to find him so quickly when he returned from worshipping his ancestors, because he was on his way.
It's no secret that he loves to show off. He occasionally mentions the herbs he grows in the mountains, especially when his colleague Doctor Sun comes...
This is not important. Wei Qian explained nonsensically, "I was going home, but on the way I remembered that there were a few herbs that my family was short of, so I came to the county."
"Is that so? I thought that the doctor Shang, whose head was worth 30,000 gold, was afraid of being killed, so he was timid and ran away directly." Shen Jiao blinked and teased, saying the matter bluntly without any care.
Wei Qian said sadly, "If you and the Seventeenth Young Master really have such thoughts, now is the best time. Take me to the suburbs and kill me without anyone knowing. The world will only lose a Shang doctor and gain a headless and nameless corpse."
"Yes! That's a great idea!" Shen Jiao said with a smile, "But who has the time for that? I still have to go back and prepare medicine for my young master."
She actually didn't take it seriously at all. Wei Qian was stunned: "But you and him clearly..."
"Mingming what? You clearly want this money? Of course," Shen Jiao said as a matter of course. "Who wouldn't be tempted by such a large sum of money? But if you're tempted, you have to take it. A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. Even the uneducated know that some things shouldn't be taken carelessly... right?"
Wei Qian's actions are bound to be criticized, but he did save many people, and his relationship with the kind-hearted man from Wei State was a transaction based on mutual consent. Who can be blamed?
Xuanhu Hall can kill him according to its rules, but others have no right to do so.
Wei Qian already knew all this, but he was still happy to hear such words, though he felt a bit helpless: "Is it raining red? You actually still have the ability to reason."
Shen Jiao smiled: "Although I can't kill you, I can beat you up."
Wei Qian changed his words: "I think I am confused. How can a person like a bodhisattva like the girl be unreasonable? Only someone as blind as me can fail to see the girl's compassionate heart..."
He kept mumbling praises for a long time, which annoyed Shen Jiao. He only shut up when he was completely exhausted.
Shen Jiao: "Please stay here for a while. The city gate is just ahead. I'll rent a car to take you."
Wei Qian didn't dare to leave her: "No, what if they come over with a knife while you're gone and just kill me? Even if I die, no one will know who the murderer is. Wouldn't that be an injustice? Wait a minute, I'll rest and go with you."
Shen Jiao said reluctantly, "What a hassle."
Wei Qian, with a shameless face, didn't care about her disgust. He sat on the bench at the roadside stall, looked longingly at the drinks being sold, then forced himself to look away without saying a word.
Shen Jiao rolled her eyes, called the stall owner, and bought two bowls of black plum thirst quencher. She pushed one bowl over and said, "Pay me back double."
"Of course, of course. Not to mention double or eight times, that's no problem."
"That's eight times."
"Ah... okay, okay."
Wei Qian was obviously much slower in responding, but he still agreed.
He quickly finished his drink, sat for a while, and then, eager to go home, he stretched out his arm to her and said with anticipation in his eyes, "I really can't walk."
Shen Jiao resigned himself to his fate by putting his arm around his shoulders and going to the city gate to look for a carriage.
There are many carriage and horse shops over there, and some people are doing business with their own ox carts. As soon as you walk in, you can hear a lot of shouting.
Wei Qian raised his head and glanced at the man. His already pale face turned even paler. He urged him repeatedly, "Don't go over there! Hurry up, hurry up."
"What's wrong?" Shen Jiao didn't understand, but still helped him walk a few quick steps.
Wei Qian looked back.
Old man Li was squatting beside the ox cart, puffing on his pipe and looking at him. Jin Shuisheng was sitting in the cart. The two had been waiting for him here for a long time.
"Those two people were sent by the Sixth Young Master."
Shen Jiao glanced back and said, "No way, what can the old and the young do?"
"They are very strong and have many helpers."
Wei Qian was afraid she wouldn't take it seriously, so he quickly said, "Don't rent a car. If you have enough money, just buy a fast horse. I'll pay you double later. These people are relentless in pursuing us. If you delay any longer and they find an opportunity, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble too."
Wei Qian didn't dare to bet on how angry Xue Lang would be.
But with Shen Jiao around, it's still a guarantee.
As soon as he bought the horse, he urged Shen Jiao to go faster, and shamelessly squeezed to the front.
Fortunately, Shen Jiao was taller and he shrank down, otherwise he would not be able to ride the horse.
"What are you doing?"
Wei Qian: "If they have bows and arrows, they might shoot me from behind, but they won't attack you. Girl, just think of it as kindness."
He sobbed loudly.
His crying was even more unpleasant than Xue Shun's.
Shen Jiao: "Okay, but this position is not very good. They might shoot you from the front."
As if she was thinking of him, she pushed him down, then pulled him up again, draping him in front of her like a sack. She placed the basket of mutton fat on his back, held the reins in one hand, and as soon as they were out of the city gate, she spurred her horse into a gallop...
