"The capital." Yu Jiao replied.
Upon hearing this, Chou Ge'er frowned his burnt brows and sat up. He could not enter the city, otherwise the officials would not let him go.
"Stop the car, I want to get off." Chou Ge'er said to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao saved him because she wanted to wait for him to wake up and ask about the scalpel. After hearing what Chou Ge'er said, she took out the scalpel hidden in her sleeve and asked, "How did you get this knife?"
Yu Jiao was playing with the scalpel between her fingers. She was too familiar with the knife. When she picked it up, it felt as if the knife was growing in her palm. When Chou Ge'er saw the scalpel, he reached out to grab it, but Yu Jiao dodged it easily and the scalpel made a circle in her palm.
"Why do you care where I got it? It's mine anyway." Chou Ge'er said with a hint of hostility.
Yu Fuling couldn't help but say, "You are so rude. We just saved your life. How can you talk like that? This knife can't be yours."
Before Yu Jiao made the scalpel, Yu Fuling had never seen such a knife, nor had she heard of anyone else using it to open a abdomen and save a life. In her opinion, this knife was invented by Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao observed Chou Ge'er's expression, but his face was too badly burned, so she could only see some emotions in his eyes. She hesitated and asked tentatively, "Are you from another world?"
The ugly boy stared at her, confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.
Yu Jiao thought about it and thought that maybe this person had never been to school and didn't understand English. To be on the safe side, she asked again, "Does the Monkey King know?"
"I don't know, is it your family?" Ugly Brother responded confidently. He said to Yu Jiao, "Forget it, give me the knife back and let me get out of the car."
Chou Ge'er heard voices coming from outside and the carriage slowed down. He guessed that it must be not far from the city gate. He became more anxious, pulled open the curtain and leaned out.
Yu Jiao originally thought that she had met a 'fellow countryman', but seeing Chou Ge'er's reaction, it was clear that he was not like her and came from another world, so she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But the scalpel looked quite old and did not look like a recent imitation. She still wanted to know where the scalpel came from, so she did not ask the guards to stop the car.
Ugly Boy leaned out and saw dozens of tall and handsome guards on horseback protecting the two sides of the carriage. His eyes flashed. A mansion that could afford such guards to guard the house must be one of the best in the capital. It seems that the two girls in the carriage are not simple.
Chou Ge'er couldn't help but change his mind. He didn't want to leave the capital. Instead of hiding in the suburbs, he might as well follow the people in the carriage to her house.
The people in the government offices in the capital would never dare to search the mansion of such a wealthy family just to find a small figure like him. Besides, the people sent by Baoyaotang to kill him would certainly not be able to find him.
Ugly Brother sat back in the carriage and lowered the curtain. He stared at the knife in Yu Jiao's hand and suddenly said, "I'll tell you where this knife came from. Can you take me in for a few days?"
Yu Jiao did not agree immediately, "You are so badly injured, someone wants to kill you, right?"
Seeing that Chou Ge'er was silent, Yu Jiao continued, "When you fell beside the official road, someone was chasing you. You took a gamble, thinking that maybe a kind-hearted person passing by would rescue you. Even if he didn't treat your injuries, as long as he couldn't bear to take you with him, you could avoid the enemy who was chasing you."
The ugly boy pursed his lips, a smile appeared on his ugly face, his burned skin was twisted together, his dark eyes glowed, "You are very smart."
This road is the only official road that can be taken in and out of the capital city. There are many people coming and going, including many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Chou Ge'er did block the way, and the people sent by Huichuntang did not dare to kill him on the official road. They wanted to kill him, but were afraid of alerting the government officials.
Yu Fuling opened her eyes wide when she heard this. She didn't expect that rescuing someone randomly on the road could actually cause such a big trouble. Fortunately, Yu Jiao was smart. If it were her, she would never have thought of this.
She went to pull Yu Jiao's arm and said, "Let him get off the car. We just arrived in Beijing and we don't want to get into trouble."
Yu Jiao did not respond to Yu Fuling's words, but continued to say to Chou Ge'er, "I can only say that you are too clever for your own good. If a woman passed by like this, she would not pity you, but would be afraid of you and would not save you. If she were a man, she would not bring herself to cause trouble. If you hadn't met me, believe it or not, you would still be lying on the official road now, either buried under the ruts of horse hooves or found by the people chasing you and taking your life!"
Ugly Brother was silent for a moment, "So Miss doesn't want to take in this troublesome person like me?"
Yu Jiao poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "That depends on what kind of trouble you have caused."
Seeing that Chou Ge'er didn't speak, Yu Jiao was not anxious and said slowly, "Think it over first. After all, there are few people who are willing to take the initiative to cause trouble. I only listen to the truth, without any concealment."
Ugly Brother moved his Adam's apple, and after a long while he said, "There is a charity cemetery in the woods not far from the official road where you rescued me. My father used to look after that cemetery. After my father died, I took over his job and stayed with the dead in the cemetery."
