Chapter 29 It’s time to go home for dinner
"Boss, are we really going to keep Zheng Caiye?"
Fu Ning shook his head and said, "No, but if I don't say that, I'm afraid those people will run away. Let's go back to the village as soon as possible and bring Zheng Caiye here."
Their small village cannot accommodate such a big dragon, and they cannot afford to offend the rich young men in the capital at the moment, so she doesn't want to keep this hidden danger.
She had a meal in a restaurant in Suman County. It was almost the end of the year, and the city was becoming much more lively. Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers were on sale.
Fu Ning couldn't help but walk around a few streets. Anyway, her business in the drugstore has always been good. Now she not only has more points, but also has plenty of money on hand.
She bought a lot of cakes, a pair of couplets, a few blessing characters, and some red paper. Song Jinghe's handwriting should be good, so she would ask him to write a few Spring Festival couplets when the time comes.
Fu Ning only returned to the mountain village in the afternoon on a small cliff.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Song Jinghe washing clothes. The originally noble young man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, a strand of hair hung in front of his chest, and his white hands were red from the cold. Even so, he still kept his back straight. He didn't look like he was washing clothes, but rather practicing calligraphy in his study.
This scene was truly pleasing to the eye. Fu Ning leaned against the door frame and watched for a long time without making a sound, until Song Jinghe raised his head and met her eyes.
Song Jinghe wrung out the clothes in his hands, "You're back?"
"Yeah." Fu Ning nodded. Just as he was about to make a few jokes, the door of the side room was opened.
Xiao Dan rushed out and grabbed her arm, "Xiao Shuang! You're back!"
"What's wrong?"
"Master Zheng's wound has opened again."
Fu Ning was quite confident in his suturing skills, so how come it split in one day? "What did you ask him to do?"
Xiao Dan lowered his head and clasped his fingers. "I didn't ask him to do anything. You know everyone is out hunting now. Today it's my turn to stay behind, so I asked him to help prune a few fruit trees. But he didn't stand firmly on the tree, so he used his injured arm to grab the branch and fell down."
"..." Fu Ning regretted it very much now. Zheng Caiye was indeed the son of a wealthy family. She shouldn't have believed that the useless tendon muscles on his body could be of any use. He could even fall down while climbing a tree.
She held her forehead and followed Xiao Dan into the side room.
Zheng Caiye took off his shirt and was removing the gauze that Fu Ning had wrapped him with yesterday, which was already covered with blood.
"Miss Fu, I may have to trouble you again."
Fu Ning took the gauze, medicine powder, and needle and thread that Xiao Dan handed to her, and said expressionlessly: "Master Zheng, I have found the people you were traveling with. They are now in Suman County. How about I treat your wound and send you to meet them?"
Before Zheng Caiye could speak, Xiao Dan spoke up first, "Xiao Shuang, are you sure you found the person who was traveling with Master Zheng? Master Zheng has lost his memory, and if you give him to the wrong person, it will be a disaster."
Fu Ning wiped the seeping blood with cotton cloth. She knew that Xiao Dan had some feelings for Zheng Caiye, but they were destined to be from different worlds, so it would be better for them not to have too much contact.
"Of course I have confirmed it."
She asked Zheng Caiye, "Mr. Zheng, what is your decision?"
Zheng Caiye frowned slightly, "If I cause trouble to Miss Fu and Miss Xiaodan, I am willing to go to Suman County."
"Ah, it's not a problem, but..." Xiao Dan said, "It takes half a day to get to Suman County from here. It will be dark by the time you get there, so you have to wait until tomorrow. Besides, Master Zheng is still injured, so he can't travel any faster."
Fu Ning thought about it and felt that this made sense. "Then tomorrow."
She thought that one day wouldn't make a difference, but when she arrived at Xilai Inn the next day, she found out that she was wrong.
The group checked out overnight and no one knew where they went.
After all, they alerted the enemy. Perhaps that group of people had wanted to get rid of Zheng Caiye for a long time, otherwise, why did Zheng Caiye and his servant get separated when their entire team didn't even lose the goods?
Fu Ning frowned. The clues here were suddenly cut off. She began to think about the feasibility of taking Zheng Caiye to the capital.
If she rented a horse, it would probably take more than ten days to get to the capital. Now it was less than ten days before the end of the year, and she didn't want to celebrate the festival halfway.
Do you really want to keep him? Fu Ning always felt that this person was not simple, but he just couldn't find any flaws.
Xiao Dan, who was standing by, was very happy and suggested, "Why don't we just keep Master Zheng to celebrate the New Year with us? We will send him back to the capital after the New Year."
Fu Ning nodded reluctantly. This was the only way at the moment.
It was a rare opportunity for Xiao Dan to go to the city, and with Zheng Caiye, a coolie, she took Fu Ning to buy a lot of New Year's goods and bring them back to the village.
When they returned to the yard with their bags, Song Jinghe raised his eyebrows, "Why is he back too?"
Fu Ning curled his lips and said, "Those people ran away and we can't find them anymore."
Zheng Caiye showed a bright smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I have to bother you for a while."
Seeing that he was obviously in a bad mood, Song Jinghe turned his wheelchair and went back to the house.
Fu Ning asked Xiao Dan to take Zheng Caiye to distribute the purchased things to the people in the village, and followed Song Jinghe into the house.
Song Jinghe was waiting for her in the room.
"That person is not ordinary, you can't keep him."
"I know, he is the eldest son of the capital, but we are far away from the capital, so the power of the capital cannot reach us. We can just send him back after the New Year."
Song Jinghe's eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? From the moment you shot him, every step seemed unintentional, but it also seemed to be carefully planned, just to stay in the village."
Fu Ning nodded. She felt the same way. "But is there anything in our village that is worth him staying here?"
Song Jinghe paused for a moment and shook his head.
Fu Ning knew he had thought of it.
It was the secret place he had entered before - his own secret place.
Perhaps this person came to explore the entrance to the secret realm.
If he came for her secret realm, then she is familiar with it. Fu Ning raised the corner of his mouth, "Since we don't know what this person's purpose is, let's wait and see. He will reveal his true colors sooner or later."
——
There was a heavy snowfall before the New Year, and the mountain roads were extremely difficult to travel on. People in the mountain village basically did not go out hunting. They sorted out the prey they hunted, made some of it into bacon, and buried some of it in the snow to be eaten during the holidays.
Fu Ning's cultivation has naturally reached the initial stage of enlightenment. By the time he attends the Quzhou Cultivation Association competition, he should be able to reach the later stage of enlightenment, which is barely enough.
But it was far from enough for her. She went to her own small medicine field and found that several Xiling grasses had already grown buds. They could only be used for making pills when they bloomed, but the temperature was too low for them to bloom.
She dug out a few plants and put them in pots, preparing to grow them indoors.
When she stood up holding the flowerpot, she felt a familiar dry and itchy throat. Then she coughed and something came out.
Fu Ning quickly caught it with her hand. The bright red blood dripped onto her palm and then dripped onto the ground through her fingers.
She looked at the blood on her hands, and a bloody taste rose in her throat. "System, will I be short of blood if I keep vomiting like this?"
System: "Don't worry, Boss. These are fake blood. They have no effect on your body. You may still have symptoms like pale complexion and weight loss in the future. These are all superficial phenomena. All body functions are within normal range."
Fu Ning felt relieved. She did not feel uncomfortable, but it was too realistic, making her even more curious about the world of the system.
"Miss Fu!" Zheng Caiye hurried over and saw the blood on Fu Ning's hand. He was surprised and asked, "What happened to you?"
Fu Ning waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just the side effects of the Xiling Pill."
Zheng Caiye was even more surprised, "Miss Fu, why did you eat something so poisonous?"
"To improve your spiritual roots."
Zheng Caiye strongly disagreed, "Becoming a monk is not the only path in this world. If you can't become a monk, there are still many other things to do. Why don't you take your life lightly?"
Fu Ning smiled and asked tentatively: "What is Mr. Zheng's career?"
Zheng Caiye showed a helpless expression on his face, "Miss Fu, do you have such a bad memory? Have you forgotten that I lost my memory?"
He took out a small square piece of cloth from his arms and said, "I haven't used this before. Stretch out your hand and I'll help you wipe it."
Fu Ning naturally stretched out her hand and watched Zheng Caiye help her wipe the blood off her hands.
She was used to being served since she was a child and didn't think it was wrong at all.
Others were different. Xiao Dan pushed Song Jinghe to find Fu Ning. When she saw this scene, she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.
The handsome young man and the tall girl stood by the medicinal field and exchanged handkerchiefs. The worst thing was that she thought they were a perfect match.
Xiaodan looked down at Song Jinghe. They came to call Xiaoshuang for dinner, but saw such a scene. He wouldn't be angry, right?
Song Jinghe pursed his lips, turned the wheelchair around, and said in a cold tone, "Let's go."
Oh no, I’m really angry. What is Xiaoshuang doing? Xiaodan stamped her feet in anxiety.
Zheng Caiye wiped the blood off Fu Ning's hands and said, "It's not good for you to keep spitting blood. When we get to the capital, let's find a famous doctor to take a look."
Fu Ning withdrew his hand and nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, when Master Zheng returns home, please help me find the most famous doctor in the capital."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Zheng Caiye looked up and happened to see the backs of Xiaodan and Song Jinghe. He shouted, "Xiaodan, Master Song, you guys are here too?"
Fu Ning turned around and saw Xiao Dan standing there awkwardly, while Song Jinghe walked forward with his head down, as if he didn't hear what Zheng Caiye said.
She asked the system: "Why is Song Jinghe angry again?"
System: "He saw Zheng Caiye wiping your hands."
Fu Ning was surprised and said, "Is he really that angry? Isn't his favorability only 60? His possessiveness is a bit too strong."
The system didn't say anything. In fact, the atmosphere just now was indeed a little ambiguous. No wonder the villain was angry.
Xiao Dan asked hesitantly, "What were you doing just now?"
Zheng Caiye said calmly: "Miss Fu just vomited blood, and I helped her wipe the blood off her hands."
Song Jinghe's wheelchair suddenly stopped and turned around.
Even Xiao Dan's expression became serious. "Xiao Shuang, why are you vomiting blood again? Has the remaining poison not been cleared yet?"
"Maybe." Fu Ning nodded indifferently. There will be many more days of vomiting blood in the future. "Are you here to see me?"
Xiaodan nodded and looked at Song Jinghe.
Song Jinghe had already turned his wheelchair to come in front of Fu Ning and held Fu Ning's hand.
"Xiao Shuang, it's time to go home for dinner."
