Or is it that the guard is not a good person?
"Doctor Shen, don't be afraid. The engineer said he would take you to live in a courtyard house in the city center. If you can cure the engineer's brother's illness, he will give you a courtyard house as a thank you gift. You can go there to rest tonight."
Shen Liwu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense shoulders relaxed a little.
Giving a courtyard house as a thank you gift is really generous!
The car slowly drove into a quiet alley in the city center. On both sides were tall sycamore trees, whose branches and leaves swayed gently in the wind, making rustling sounds.
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows. The car stopped in front of an ancient courtyard house. The black wooden door was carved with exquisite patterns.
The driver got out of the car, opened the door for Shen Liwu, and said respectfully: "Doctor Shen, this is your residence. The driver is not short of money, and this courtyard is just the tip of the iceberg. He is interested in your ability, and I hope you will not let him down."
Shen Liwu got out of the car, stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked up at this quaint building, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
She had always thought that one day she would live in a place like this. The wall of the courtyard is not high, but it looks very solid. The top of the wall is covered with vines, which is lush and green.
She pushed open the heavy wooden door with a creaking sound, and a spacious courtyard appeared in front of her. The yard was full of green grass, which was filled with green fragrance. Several bluestone-paved paths led to each room.
This driver must be mentally ill. He is offering a courtyard house as a thank-you gift. Does that mean he has money but no land?
But it’s true, they are rich and powerful, so what does this courtyard house mean to them? What’s more, it’s a human life.
She did not shy away. Since the employee used the courtyard house as a thank-you gift, it must be because he valued her abilities and wanted her to stay in Beijing to do research.
Then let her stay. She will be rewarded heavily for saving people. A courtyard is actually just a place where dozens of doctors can't cure a disease.
She didn't bring anything with her, except for her medicine box, and then she settled down in the courtyard.
The next morning, as soon as Shen Liwu went out, he saw two soldiers guarding the door. When they saw Shen Liwu coming out, they immediately raised their heads and chests.
"Doctor Shen, we were specially sent by the driver to protect you. The driver said that you might have been targeted by someone, so we must protect your safety. Because the driver himself has many enemies, anyone who can come into contact with the driver should be guarded against."
Shen Liwu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “Thank you for your help.”
She walked out and the two soldiers immediately followed her, walking in unison and glancing around vigilantly.
Shen Liwu's steps were neither hurried nor slow, but his mind was working rapidly. Being targeted? Could it be that someone was dissatisfied with her treatment of Guan Chenyu, or was coveting her medical skills?
As she thought about it, she turned into a nearby breakfast shop. There were not many people in the store, with only a few people sitting scattered on a few simple wooden tables and chairs. She found a corner to sit down, ordered a bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks, and ate slowly.
Two soldiers stood outside the store, their pens as steady as pine trees, their eyes occasionally scanning the movements inside the store.
Shen Liwu picked up a fried dough stick and took a light bite. The crispy outer skin broke between her teeth, making a slight crackling sound. She looked up and glanced at the two soldiers standing still at the door, feeling a little uneasy.
"Comrade, it's cold outside, come in and eat something together." She raised her voice.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them hesitated and whispered, "Doctor Shen, we have a mission to complete and cannot leave our post."
