Chapter 147 A Fleeting Dream



Han Mingyue swiftly grabbed Gu Lili and hugged her.

The situation is urgent now, and we can't care about the difference between men and women.

"Laifu, hurry, get to the clinic!" Han Mingyue said anxiously.

Then he quickly carried Gu Lili into the carriage. Although Gu Lili was about the same age as Han Mingyue.

However, it was so light that Han Mingyue held it in her arms as if it were a baby chick.

Once inside the carriage, Han Mingyue quickly put Gu Lili down.

After Gu Lili lay down, he draped one of his own cloaks over her shoulders, then turned and went out to sit in front of the carriage with Laifu.

I was too forward with Gu Lili last time. Although saving lives is the priority this time, I still need to be mindful of the proper boundaries.

Carriages were allowed into the city, so Han Mingyue's carriage headed straight for the clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Han Mingyue first alighted from the carriage and then went inside by herself.

When he came out, a woman was already following behind him.

"Auntie, this is it. Thank you for your help!" Han Mingyue said, pointing to her carriage.

It turns out that Han Mingyue went in first to call for someone to carry Gu Lili inside.

Gu Lili is now the head of the village. Although she doesn't have any real power, if I were to carry her into this crowded street, I might be recognized by someone with ulterior motives.

If someone were to spread rumors, it would ruin a young woman's reputation.

The woman nodded, climbed onto the carriage, and carried Gu Lili into the clinic.

Han Mingyue followed closely behind, wanting to see what was wrong with Gu Lili.

The woman placed Gu Lili on a reclining chair, where she was half-lying down. A doctor with a white beard quickly came over to help take her pulse.

After a while, Han Mingyue cupped her hands in greeting and asked, "May I ask, doctor, what's wrong with her?"

Seeing Gu Lili's forehead covered in cold sweat and her face deathly pale, Han Mingyue wondered if Gu Lili had contracted some incurable disease.

The doctor withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and calmly stroked his beard.

"What's your relationship to her?" the doctor asked.

Han Mingyue was a little confused. Why did she have to ask who she was to inquire about someone's condition?

"I am her neighbor!" Han Mingyue told the truth.

From then on, my house and Gu Lili's house were across the street from each other, so we could naturally be considered neighbors.

The doctor shook his head and said, "Since she's just a neighbor, I can't tell you the truth about her condition. Go wait outside, I'll give her a few acupuncture needles, and she'll wake up."

Although Han Mingyue was puzzled, she obediently went outside to wait.

The doctor took out a cloth bag containing silver needles, took out one silver needle, and began to perform acupuncture on Gu Lili.

After just a few injections, Gu Lili slowly woke up.

"Where...where am I supposed to be?" Gu Lili asked, still confused.

She vaguely remembered that when she went to find Han Mingyue, her stomach was in terrible pain.

She didn't know what happened after that.

The doctor put away the silver needles and explained, "You fainted, and your neighbor brought you to the clinic."

Gu Lili finally understood, but what followed was an awkward moment.

I actually fainted from the pain of such a minor menstrual cramp?

I've never experienced anything like this before. Even during my period, I ate all sorts of cold and raw foods and never had any stomach pain.

Perhaps this body has suffered too much to become like this.

"Young lady, you must take care of your health. This is caused by cold pathogens blocking your uterus, probably due to living in damp places for too long. If you don't take good care of yourself, you may have difficulty conceiving in the future!" the doctor said earnestly.

Judging from the little girl's thin and frail appearance, she probably hasn't had many good days at home.

Gu Lili sighed and said, "Thank you so much, doctor. You gave me a few acupuncture treatments, and I feel much better now. I will definitely take good care of myself from now on!"

It must be said that traditional Chinese medicine is indeed profound and extensive.

After just a few injections, I felt much better.

The doctor nodded and said nothing more.

When Gu Lili paid the money and walked out, she bumped into Han Mingyue waiting at the door.

This doctor is really good; he even knows how to protect his patients' privacy.

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Mingyue's eyes when she saw Gu Lili come out on her own.

The person who had just fainted woke up so quickly.

Gu Lili looked at Han Mingyue and said somewhat shyly, "Mingyue, thank you so much for today. But I hope you won't tell my younger brother and sister about this. Thank you!"

If I tell them about this, they'll definitely worry again, and I'll feel a bit embarrassed.

However, to Han Mingyue, this meant that Gu Lili was seriously ill and couldn't tell her family.

Gu Lili may be the village head now, but so what?

It's all just a mirage, a fleeting illusion, and nothing at all!

When a person dies, they have nothing left.

Fortunately, she raised her younger siblings very well, and even built houses for them, plus money bestowed by the Emperor...

Even if Gu Lili passes away one day, she should be able to rest in peace.

As Han Mingyue thought this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Lili with sympathy.

"Lili, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut!" Han Mingyue solemnly promised.

Gu Lili was a little confused as to why Han Mingyue was looking at her with such a pitying expression.

However, the most important thing right now is to take Han Mingyue to buy wine, so that I can make another profit!

Without much thought, Gu Lili suggested taking Han Mingyue to the eastern suburbs to see the wine.

Han Mingyue asked worriedly, "Lili, are you sure your health... is okay for you to go?"

Han Mingyue was a little worried that Gu Lili would faint again, but she wasn't in a hurry and could rest before going.

Gu Lili waved her hand and said, "I'm feeling much better, let's go!"

Although she felt that Han Mingyue was acting a little strange, Gu Lili's mind was full of money, and she didn't want to wait a moment longer.

After hearing what Gu Lili said, Han Mingyue didn't say anything more.

The three of them then rode in a carriage and headed towards the eastern suburbs.

Just like when she arrived, Han Mingyue sat outside.

Gu Lili pointed out the way to Laifu, and the group soon arrived at the small courtyard where the wine was kept.

Gu Lili got off the carriage and knocked on the door.

Soon, Zheng Qian came to open the door.

Just now, Uncle Cai told me that Gu Lili would be bringing people to buy wine later.

He only needed to watch the moving of goods; he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Gu Lili nodded to Zheng Qian, who then led the two to the wine.

Uncle Cai had instructed him to let the two of them taste it first.

These wines are all finished products, packaged in wine jars, with each jar containing exactly one jin (500 grams).
