Chapter 1722 Yuan Gui is alright
Meng Qi nodded repeatedly, "He's been sent back, he's fine now."
After parting ways with Meng Yunzheng in the morning, he immediately took the unconscious Yuan Gui to the familiar clinic.
Just as Meng Yunzheng guessed, there weren't actually many patrolling soldiers in the city. Some people must have gone to the black market through the secret passage to act as bandits.
Therefore, Meng Qi encountered no accidents along the way. He was very familiar with the streets and alleys of the city, so he was able to deliver Yuan Gui to his destination smoothly.
That clinic has always had a good relationship with the Meng family, and is also good friends with Uncle Meng.
When the bodyguards of the Meng Family Escort Agency practiced martial arts or went on escort missions, they often got injured. So they would come to this clinic to see Doctor Mi every few days.
Upon seeing Meng Qi bring in a seriously injured person, Doctor Mi subconsciously asked a question.
Meng Qi didn't say much, but simply described Yuan Gui's injuries.
Dr. Mi was a sensible man; he knew that if the man wasn't speaking, it must be because it was inconvenient for him to say. In the past, when镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) were injured while on a mission, they would generally keep what happened on the road a secret.
The atmosphere in the county town has been tense lately. The Meng family was attacked by bandits again, and Uncle Meng went missing as a result. Doctor Mi assumed that the bandits had done something to the Meng family again, and that Yuan Gui's injury was due to this.
He quietly treated Yuan Gui's wounds, but the medicine given by Meng Yunzheng was very effective, so Doctor Mi only helped with simple treatment and bandaging.
Yuan Gui woke up around noon.
He wanted to go home as soon as he got up; there were people waiting for him. Grandma Fang must be very worried because he hadn't returned for two days and two nights. Her health wasn't good to begin with, and she hoped something bad might happen to her.
But there were still patrolling soldiers outside, and Yuan Gui was injured, so he and Granny Fang had to stay at someone else's house for the night. If the people in that house informed the soldiers, they would only get more trouble.
Finally, having no other choice, Meng Qi went to find Granny Fang himself.
Fortunately, he went. Granny Fang had been waiting for Yuan Gui for two days and was already very anxious. If it weren't for the family she was staying with stopping her, she would have gone to the government to report the case.
Meng Qi originally didn't plan to mention Yuan Gui's injury, but Granny Fang seemed difficult to fool, so he could only tell her the general situation separately. Although he didn't mention the bandits, she was still very worried.
Later, Granny Fang offered to take care of Yuan Gui, and Meng Qi agreed after considering it.
Grandma Fang made an excuse to the family she was staying with, and then went to the clinic with Meng Qi.
Now, Granny Fang is looking after Yuan Gui at the clinic. Meng Qi stayed with him for a while, and seeing that everything was alright, he returned to the Meng Family Escort Agency.
Meng Yunzheng had said that General Huang would be arriving in Chenggu County within the next couple of days. Fearing he might miss it, Meng Qi waited at the escort agency.
But he waited all night and no one came.
Meng Qi did not sleep well at night. He woke up again at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM) and could not fall back asleep.
Later, he simply left the Meng family and returned to this abandoned mansion, where he unexpectedly found Meng Yunzheng waiting for him.
So he's only been here for an hour.
Meng Qi said, "I was very careful, afraid of encountering patrolling soldiers on the road, but I found that there was no one there. They didn't patrol at all."
Before the bandits and curfews, there were occasional patrols on the streets. Now, however, not a single person could be seen, which Meng Qi found somewhat laughable.
