"Look at these, the roof of this car is a bit slanted. Hold onto my clothes, don't fall." Lu Zheng squatted down and instructed.
The walls surrounding the county government office were quite high; even standing on the roof of their carriage, they couldn't see inside.
Gu Xin easily got off Lu Zheng's neck and stood up smoothly, her movements were very practiced, as if she had done it many times before.
Gu Si was a little unfamiliar with the technique, and Gu Xin had to help her stand steadily.
"Sister Huihui, is it okay to jump down with Sisi in my arms?" Lu Zheng asked.
"No problem, but be careful too." Gu Hui nodded. The height of the carriage was nothing. She had even carried Gu Si and jumped down from a tree before, which was higher than the top of the carriage.
The two jumped down easily and quickly got into the car.
Lu Zheng rode away.
After they left, a constable ran over and said, "There was clearly someone on that wall just now. Did I see wrong?"
"You've been drinking too much lately! I told you I haven't! You even said there was a head on the wall. You really are something, not afraid of scaring people at night."
...
That night, all the doctors in the county town were summoned to the county government office, but unfortunately, none of them could explain Cheng Rui's symptoms.
Finally, the old woman of a yamen runner, who was said to be a shaman, came to the county yamen with her tools to perform a ritual.
Lu Zheng drove out of the city and slowed down.
"Brother Yuanyuan, have some water." Gu Xin handed a bamboo tube out of the carriage.
"Thank you, Xinxin." Lu Zheng took it, holding the rope with one hand and drinking water from the bamboo tube with the other.
Wow, it really is the water Xin Xin gave me, it's so sweet.
The bamboo tubes were taken from Grandma Xiao's courtyard in the city. Gu Xin only threw one jade bead into her own well today and put one in Grandpa Gu's medicine, so now she put another one in everyone's bamboo tube.
Doesn't that make it sweet?
Gu Hui lifted the carriage curtain: "A Yuan, the county government can't find out where Grandma Xiao's house is, right? I think I just saw some yamen runners going towards the wall where we're standing."
"No, Sister Huihui. Before we dropped Cheng Rui off, we drove around the city several times and changed carriages. There's no way we could find him. Besides, the Cheng family is worried about Cheng Rui's condition right now. It won't be until tomorrow morning for his symptoms to return to normal. I've already arranged for people to handle the aftermath," Lu Zheng said.
"That's good, as long as it won't implicate you and Grandma Xiao! Thank you so much, Yuan, for today. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that Cheng Rui harbored such dark intentions." Gu Hui thanked her sincerely.
“Brother Yuanyuan, when it’s your birthday, I’ll give you two gifts, one to wish you a happy birthday and the other as a thank you gift for today, okay?” Gu Xin said.
"Okay!" Lu Zheng wouldn't refuse!
"Brother Yuan, you're amazing! You managed to carry such a big person out of such a high wall," Gu Si said.
“You can do it too. You and Xinxin are still young, it’s not too late to learn martial arts at this age. Sisi, you can also practice martial arts with Xinxin and the others every morning,” Lu Zheng said.
Lu Zheng thought Gu Si was pretty good. In his previous life, Gu Xin had mentioned her grandparents and her cousins from the first branch of the family, and they had all treated her very well.
He hoped that all the people who were good to Gu Xin in this life would be by her side, so he also hoped that Gu Hui and Gu Si would have a good outcome, at least better than in their previous life.
