Chapter 508: Seriously Injured
Jiang Yao said coldly, "Of course I'm going to find medicine!"
"What?" the Taoist priest and Hu Xin'er asked in unison.
Jiang Yao was already in a bad mood, and seeing their wide-eyed expressions, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Why are you so surprised? Don't I need to find my medicine? Is that damn Wanxiang Pill going to fall from the sky?"
"Finding these herbs is indeed urgent, but there's no need to rush, right?" Hu Xin'er advised. "Aunt, you don't want to go looking for the herbs right now, do you?"
Jiang Yao said coldly, "The unconscious person isn't your biological sister, so of course you don't need to worry."
Hu Xiner choked: "That's not what I meant, it's just..."
Jiang Yao interrupted her directly: "How can you accomplish anything with such fussiness? I think we still have some medicinal herbs in the Jiang family's basement. The sooner we gather them, the sooner we can accomplish this. Let's go!"
She walked out of the door quickly, and flew away with a tap of her toes. Her light figure jumped a few times between the eaves and treetops, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Taoist Master Yiqing, upon seeing this, no longer cared about anything else and quickly chased after him, saying, "Wait for me, Madam!"
Only his voice remained in the air: "Xin'er, I've left the prescription in the room. I'll leave Mu Qing and the others in your care!"
Hu Xin'er was stunned: "Huh?"
These two people are too casual. They just completed the face-transplant surgery and then left her here alone to take care of the whole family?
We're just looking for medicine. We can find it anytime. We don't have to leave tonight, right?
Couldn't you tell her everything she needs to pay attention to first?
"You're making me panic!" She looked at the moon, wanting to cry but unable to. "Hey, Auntie, Taoist Priest, can you please come back for a while? Just for a quarter of an hour, no, half a quarter of an hour, okay?"
However, with the Taoist priest and his companions' lightness skills, they had already run so far in just a short while that they had no idea how far they were running. How could they hear her call?
Hu Xiner could only look up at the sky helplessly, not knowing where to vent her complaints.
Since the Taoist priest and his companions passed away so suddenly, Hu Xiner had to take care of Mu Qing and the others on her own.
By the time she finished everything, it was already midnight and she lay in bed, tossing and turning.
The next day, when Zhao Si knocked on the gate, he was shocked to see her appearance: "Sister Caishen, what's wrong with you? Why are there such big dark circles under your eyes?"
"Maybe it's because I didn't sleep last night." Hu Xin'er yawned loudly. "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Before Zhao Si could react, the door closed in front of him.
"Wait!" He quickly stuck his head in before the door closed.
Hu Xin'er was still in a daze, and the door almost pinched his head when it closed.
When she saw Zhao Si's ferocious expression, she suddenly came to her senses and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm really too sleepy."
She quickly opened the door, and Zhao Si came in with a sad face: "Sister Caishen, you were too cruel! My head was almost crushed!"
Hu Xin'er complained, "Who told you to stick your head in here? If the door is closed, why don't you just knock again?"
"If the door is closed, will you still let me in?" Zhao Si asked hesitantly.
Hu Xin'er's thinking was slower than usual, and she finally realized, "Okay, so you were deliberately using the self-torture trick!"
Zhao Si quickly shook his head: "No, no, I saw that Sister Caishen rejected me, so I did that stupid thing in a moment of desperation. I definitely didn't intend to plot against Sister!"
He looked around and found that Mu Qing was not guarding Hu Xin'er this time, so he boldly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said cunningly: "My dear sister, you are so beautiful and kind-hearted, just like the Bodhisattva in the temple. You will definitely not drive me out, right?"
Hu Xin'er was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping. She didn't hear what he said clearly at all, and just said perfunctorily, "Hmm."
In a daze, Zhao Si pulled her to sit down again. He came here originally to discuss serious matters with Hu Xiner, but seeing Hu Xiner's confused look, he couldn't help but have other thoughts in his mind.
If you take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Sister God of Wealth, then you won't have to worry about not getting back the one thousand taels of silver you threw out.
I think someone like her, who has the salary and benefits from the Princess's Mansion, doesn't care about the one thousand taels of silver.
But if he got the one thousand taels of silver, it would be of great use!
Driven by money, he was willing to sacrifice a little bit of his beauty to make the rich woman Hu Xiner soften her heart towards him.
Hu Xiner, who was yawning, had no idea that Zhao Si, who seemed well-behaved beside her, had so many twists and turns in his mind in this short moment.
She just wanted to get Zhao Si away quickly and go back to sleep.
Zhao Si, however, secretly looked at her, thinking to himself, "This sister is young and beautiful, so I'm not at a disadvantage, but where should I start?"
After thinking it over, he stretched out his dirty hands while feeling uneasy...
At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and sensed a hint of murderous aura!
He saw a man with his face wrapped in bandages appearing in the corridor, and that man was looking at him with a serious look.
A cool breeze blew by, and Zhao Si thought he had seen a ghost. He screamed in shock, "Oh my God!"
Hu Xin'er was frightened by him and sobered up a little. She asked weakly, "Why are you so startled?"
"Wealth, Sister Goddess of Wealth, look!" Zhao Si shrank behind her and didn't even dare to look forward.
Hu Xin'er looked in the direction of his finger, her eyes widening a little: "Husband, why are you awake?"
Seeing the bandaged man walking towards him step by step, Zhao Si couldn't believe that this was the handsome man from yesterday.
"What? He's your husband?" Zhao Si grabbed Hu Xin'er's sleeve, wanting to shake her awake. "Sister Caishen, you're not still dreaming, are you? How could this man be your husband? Wake up!"
He casually picked up a small wooden stick from the ground and pointed it at Mu Qing warily: "Hey, monster, I'm warning you! Don't, don't try to hurt me, I'm trained!"
Before he could finish his words, Hu Xin'er slapped him on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? My husband is injured, that's why you are being entangled like this."
"How could this killer be so badly injured?" Zhao Si said with disbelief. "Besides, who would hit someone in the face?"
Hu Xiner didn't know how to answer for a moment. She couldn't possibly tell her about the face-changing at this time. It was the Taoist sect's secret.
