Qiu Yan couldn't open the door, so she took a few steps back to help herself run faster. Then, she leaped lightly and used both hands to climb onto the courtyard wall.
By the time Ling Qi and Ling Ba came out, Qiu Yan had already climbed into the courtyard and opened the gate.
Du Changjun was dumbfounded by the fluid movements.
Is she a woman or a female thief?
As everyone was admitted to the hospital, Qiu Yan immediately helped up Old Mu, who had collapsed and was unable to get up.
"Grandpa Mu."
"It's nothing, just a little dizzy." Old Mu regained some consciousness, but due to his physical discomfort, he still couldn't get up.
He wondered, how did this girl get in?
Qiu Yan looked around and instructed Ling Qi to help Old Master Mu to the bed inside the room so she could examine him carefully.
Through questioning, Qiu Yan learned that Mr. Mu's pain was caused by stomach spasms, and the specific cause required targeted treatment.
She then wrote out a prescription and asked Ling Ba to go to the clinic to get some herbs.
Qiu Xu and Qiu Ling'er asked in unison, "Sister, what happened to Master?"
Du Changjun had the same question and looked at Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan replied simply, "I have a bad stomach, some anemia, and malnutrition."
Qiu Ling'er's eyes reddened. "Grandpa Mu is so pitiful. He has no one to take care of him."
Old Mu gave Qiu Ling'er a sharp rap on the forehead. "You brat, who are you calling pitiful?"
Seeing that he had recovered, Qiu Ling'er's tightly furrowed face relaxed a little. "It's good that you still have the strength to hit people."
Having been ignored all along, Du Changjun finally got a chance to speak and asked Old Master Mu, "Sir, are you feeling better?"
Old Mu nodded to him: "Much better, you can go back now."
Du Changjun... He looked at Qiu Yan, and finding himself ignored, he said nothing more and left.
The more he looked at Qiu Yan, the more he felt that she was extraordinary.
At night, until late into the night, Old Mu's stomach pain subsided, and he finally went to sleep after drinking the rice porridge and herbs that Qiu Xu had prepared for him.
Lying in bed, he was filled with emotion, realizing that Qiu Yan and her two siblings were truly the benefactors in his life.
Qiu Yan, in particular, helped him time and time again.
Now, they have even written a stomach-nourishing prescription for him to treat his condition.
He felt the warmth of family from the three siblings.
Aside from teaching Qiu Xu to read, he seemed to have no other use.
He should help Qiu Ling'er; after all, the little girl had sought him out many times.
As he pondered these thoughts, he gradually drifted off to sleep.
...After entering the city with Zheng Hong, Qiu Dafu checked into the Huaiyuan Inn.
After what happened during the day, Qiu Dafu tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Thinking of Jiang Liu made it even harder for him to fall asleep.
As night deepened, suddenly, a series of rapid and powerful footsteps came from the streets and alleys. Qiu Dafu quickly got up and opened the window to check.
He noticed that outside the window, a group of plainclothes thieves, seemingly acting randomly but actually in an orderly fashion, were moving swiftly, as if they were about to carry out some kind of mission.
Seeing these people, he thought of the bandits he had encountered during the day. He wondered if they were the same group.
Thinking this, he became certain of his guess. Because he saw the masked man at the very front.
This matter was none of his concern as a commoner; he was simply worried about Jiang Liu's safety.
Bang... His door was pushed open.
Qiu Dafu drew his sword, but upon seeing that the person was Zheng Hong, he withdrew his hand.
"Brother Qiu, there's some noise outside."
Seeing Qiu Dafu sheath his knife, Zheng Hong touched his nose and continued:
"Do you think someone might seek revenge on us because of what happened during the day?"
