Chapter 753 I Don’t Dare to Joke with My Life
"Okay, pack up and leave early."
Song Jiuyuan broke the deadlock, and Muxiang jumped back to the house.
Cheng Jin followed Song Jiuyuan listlessly, looking annoyed and helpless.
After everyone packed up, they set out and left the inn.
The weather is nice today, the sun is out outside, so it’s not that cold.
Song Jiuyuan and Cheng Jin rode horses, while Jiang Wan and the other three sat in the carriage.
Muxiang was practicing acupuncture with a wooden human-shaped tool, while Fuling and Jiang Wan were reading books.
The carriage rattled away from the town and after driving for about half a quarter of an hour, it suddenly stopped.
Jiang Wan and the others curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Old Man Sun staggering along with Sun Ergou on his back not far away.
Sun Ergou was holding a few medicine bags in his hand, probably the medicine they had picked.
"No way, they're walking back to the village?"
Cheng Jin's fussing look left Muxiang and Fuling speechless.
Muxiang grew up in the village, so she understands better, "From the wealthier villages, ox carts come to the town every day.
The poorer ones have to walk, and it takes a whole day to go back and forth.”
"Cheng Jin, let them get on the carriage."
Originally, Jiang Wan didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but she suddenly thought of the quack doctor that old man Sun mentioned.
She immediately became curious. If the other party was really a liar, she couldn't let him continue to harm people in the village.
"Master is the best."
Muxiang jumped off the carriage excitedly and hurried to chase after Old Man Sun and the others.
Old man Sun walked with his head down, feeling that his grandson was in much better condition today, he said happily:
"Ergou, it's a good idea to bring you to town today."
"Grandpa, we are lucky."
Sun Ergou felt the same way. After the acupuncture, he felt that his heavy body had become much lighter.
This feeling is still the same as before I got sick.
"When you get better, try to save money. If you meet them again in the future, you must pay them back for the consultation."
Old Man Sun kept muttering, "As your grandfather, I have never owed anyone anything or any favor in my life.
Just now when my benefactor asked me to save the money to buy medicine for you, I struggled.
In order to keep you alive, I owe you a favor."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm a burden to you."
Sun Ergou is young, but he is sensible. After all, his parents died early, and he and his grandfather depend on each other for life.
The two heard the sound of a carriage behind them, but it wasn't much.
Old man Sun was worried that if he turned around he would become discouraged and would not be able to carry his grandson, so he continued walking with his head down.
"What do you mean by burden or not? Grandpa is happy as long as you are alive."
"Old man."
Muxiang finally caught up with them. Old Man Sun turned around with Sun Ergou on his back, and the two men looked at Muxiang in surprise.
"benefactor."
"Get in the carriage, we'll take you back."
Muxiang looked at the old man with heartache. The kindness of this grandfather reminded her of her own grandfather.
In the past, her grandmother and parents favored boys over girls, and the rare warmth she had was given by her grandfather.
Grandpa would secretly hide a sweet potato for her so that she could eat it when she was starving.
"No, no, don't bother your benefactor, we will be there soon!"
Old Man Sun refused awkwardly. They had already taken great advantage of him, so how could they have the nerve to ask their benefactor to send them back to the village?
Sun Ergou was somewhat tempted. He didn't want to make his grandfather suffer so much, but he couldn't walk either.
"grandfather."
"Old man, my master is going to the mountains to collect herbs. Is there a mountain on the other side of your village?"
Muxiang said this on purpose so that Old Man Sun and his grandson would not feel so nervous riding in the carriage.
"Yes, yes. There are mountains behind our village. I see that doctor often goes to the mountains to collect herbs."
Old Man Sun spoke of the doctor with bitterness in his mouth, “I saw that the doctor had some skills, and I thought he was a powerful one.
I didn't expect that he almost killed my grandson. I will definitely settle the score with him when I return!"
"Master, get in the carriage first."
Mu Xiang led them into another empty carriage, which was usually occupied by Cheng Jin and Song Jiuyuan.
"Okay, thank you benefactor."
Old Man Sun thanked each of Jiang Wan and the others with gratitude, and then put Sun Ergou on the carriage.
Although Sun Ergou was only ten years old, he was considered a young boy and was very sensible. He covered his mouth gently and coughed.
"I'll just sit outside in the carriage."
He was afraid that his illness could be contagious, and if he sat outside his breath would be blown away by the wind.
Old Man Sun also agreed, "Yes, we can sit outside and I can show you the way."
Mu Xiang glanced at Jiang Wan in embarrassment. Jiang Wan opened the carriage curtain and said to Old Man Sun:
"Please show me the way, old man. Let your grandson sit inside. It's better not to be exposed to the wind for this disease."
"this……"
Old Man Sun rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "We are dirty and we are afraid of dirtying the benefactor's carriage."
"No problem."
Jiang Wan smiled at them in a friendly manner, and only then did Old Man Sun let his grandson sit in the carriage.
In fact, he also wanted his grandson to listen to less rumors, but he just didn't want to push his luck further.
After all, it is a great favor for the benefactor to help them.
With Old Man Sun guiding the way, the carriage ran more happily. Muxiang pouted and told him the reason she had just found.
"Master, I didn't lie on purpose."
She admitted her mistake quickly, and Jiang Wan didn't have the heart to blame her. "If you have some free time, go for a walk in the mountains and pretend to be nice."
"Yes, Master."
Muxiang's bright eyes were filled with joy. Not only did the master not scold her, he also understood her so well. She was so happy that she almost flew.
Fuling warned her, "It's dangerous to go to the mountains to collect herbs. You can't go alone. You have to ask us to come with you."
"Don't worry, my dear senior sister. I dare not joke with my life."
Perhaps because she has been with them for a long time, Muxiang is gradually revealing her true character and no longer hiding her emotions.
This is what Jiang Wan wanted. She didn’t want her apprentice to be afraid of everything.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Shitou Village below Qingshui Town. It was only noon, and the people in Shitou Village were looking at the carriages with curiosity.
Some children followed the carriage with curious looks on their faces.
"Old Sun, why are you in the carriage? Could it be your relative?"
"Old man Sun, didn't you take your sick grandson to see a doctor? Why did you come back in a carriage?"
"This carriage is so magnificent. Are you lucky, old man Sun?"
“…”
The villagers of Shitou Village were carrying hoes, some were carrying backpacks, and all of them had a curious look on their faces.
Most of these people had never ridden in a carriage, and it was the first time they had seen such a scene.
Old Man Sun did not dare to say anything, and just replied with a smile: "They are not my relatives. We are lucky to have met a few nobles who are going to the mountains to collect herbs.
My grandson is not in good health, please take us with you if you are kind-hearted."
These people clearly didn't believe it, and Jiang Wan and the others were too lazy to argue and just sat in the carriage.
It was not until they entered Stone Village that Jiang Wan curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a somewhat familiar figure.
She never expected that this person would be in Stone Village!
