Chapter 309 I hope he won’t become the knife that is swung at me.
A hint of excitement flashed across Qiao Zhixu's face when he heard this. Ran Qingxuan took out a pen and paper from the donkey cart, wrote a letter, and gave it to him along with twenty taels of silver.
"Girl, this is unacceptable."
"You'd better keep it. After all, you've been cheated for so long..." While saying this, Ran Qingxuan's eyes never left the bag of medicine.
Qiao Zhixu couldn't believe it and asked, "The girl's expression when she looked at the medicine just now was not right. Is there a problem?"
"There is a problem. The ratio of the medicine is wrong. Although it can relieve the cough, it is only superficial. And forgive me for asking, how much did you pay for these medicines?"
"Two taels of silver for one course of treatment. My mother has been taking it for more than two years. Before that, she went to Silver Moon City for treatment, which cost several hundred coins a set..."
With a look of disgust, Ran Qingxuan threw the three packets of medicine in his hand into the mud in the corner. Qiao Zhixu wanted to pick them up, but was stopped by Ran Qingxuan again.
"Don't feel bad. These medicines are not only damp but also made of leftovers. Not only are they ineffective, they are all used to fool people."
Qiao Zhixu's face turned pale, he didn't understand why he spent so much money on these 'weeds'...
"Good people are often bullied. Why do you treat me like this..."
The murmuring voice reached Ran Qingxuan's ears, and at that moment she felt unwell.
She had finally managed to stabilize the situation temporarily, and things were going in the direction she had expected. She must not let this little thing ruin her plan.
"Young Master, you should learn the way of a gentleman. Don't let the actions of a villain disturb your original intention!"
In an instant, the turbidity that had just risen in Qiao Zhixu's heart was blown away by a breeze. When he looked up, the resentment in his eyes disappeared instantly.
"Who is this girl?"
Ran Qingxuan shrugged, acting very frankly: "If I fell into a quagmire, I would definitely hope that someone would pass by and help me.
Even if I don't lend a hand, I don't want to be a bystander. ”
"My fellow disciple works at the third embroidery workshop on West Street. Its name is Changfang."
After Ran Qingxuan finished speaking, he said to Gu Yanchen: "Husband, let's go!"
It was not until the two men drove away in their donkey cart that Qiao Zhixu, who was standing there, realized that he had said the wrong thing.
A trace of annoyance flashed through his mind, and then he lowered his eyes to look at the letter in his hand.
After a moment's silence, Qiao Zhixu decisively opened the envelope.
[When I was out of the city, I happened to see this friend who had suffered injustice. However, his relatives at home were seriously ill and had no way to find a doctor. I hope my junior sister will take a look when she returns home. The address is Heishuihe Village, Cuishan Town. You can ask for the name yourself. It's Xuanliu. 】
The hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and Qiao Zhixu murmured: "I misunderstood them..."
At the corner of the alley, a figure flashed by. It was Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen who had returned.
It was not until they left Sitong City that Gu Yanchen glanced sideways at Ran Qingxuan who was sitting on the donkey cart.
"Madam, why did you help this person? This should be the first time you have seen him..."
"Are you jealous?" Ran Qingxuan was a little surprised, because normally Gu Yanchen would never ask in such a situation.
Just when I thought he was really jealous, Gu Yanchen shook his head.
"No, I'm just curious. I think this person is flexible and will definitely not be just a scholar in the future..."
Ran Qingxuan smiled slightly but did not explain.
"Just wait and see!"
Ran Qingxuan was not sure whether her actions today would be rewarded, but what she was sure of was that even if Qiao Zhixu joined Qi Jing's camp in the future, he would not become a knife swung at them!
Gu Yanchen silently remembered this person, jumped on the donkey cart and quickened his pace to catch up with the team that had already gone far away.
When Bu Wei saw them coming back, he just glanced at them indifferently, turned around and continued to lead the team forward.
On the other hand, when Chang Fang was counting the items left by Ran Qingxuan, she found two hundred taels of silver notes among the snacks. She knew that Ran Qingxuan was worried that she would stay in the village and would not be able to go out, so he gave her the silver and money early to let her prepare more things.
Chang Fang once again felt the silent care from an acquaintance, and she felt excited and warm in her heart.
Having lived in this unfamiliar place for five years, God knows how cautious she was, fearing that she would be exposed and captured as a monster for research.
Now, not only did Ran Qingxuan suddenly appear, but her teacher was also here. How could she not be happy and excited.
"girl?"
When Chang Fang was about to close the door panel and lock the door, she was suddenly frightened by a sound behind her.
Seeing that the door panel was about to slip out of his hand and hit his feet, Qiao Zhixu took two steps forward and held it down tightly.
However, what he touched was not the cold door panel. Instead, the softness he felt in his palm startled him and he immediately withdrew his hand.
Fortunately, Chang Fang reacted at this moment and quickly retracted his foot to avoid the disaster.
Qiao Zhixu tightly held the hand that touched Chang Fang, his face turned as red as a cooked shrimp and he didn't dare to look up.
Realizing that he might not have meant it, Chang Fang did not take it seriously and instead asked him, "Are you going to buy something?"
"No...no..." Qiao Zhixu thought that if he touched the girl's hand he would be regarded as a lecher, but he didn't expect that she would just simply ask him what was the matter.
For a moment, my throat felt like it was blocked by a piece of cotton and I couldn't even open my mouth.
Chang Fang saw that he didn't want to be with someone with mental problems, so she bravely stepped forward.
"If there's nothing wrong, why did you ask me to do that? I almost got my foot hit by the door. If there's nothing wrong, just leave. I still have things to do!"
Qiao Zhixu quickly took out the letter written by Ran Qingxuan from his sleeve and handed it over with his head down.
Chang Fang looked strange, and the only word that came to her mind was "love letter"...
But thinking that she didn't know this person, she plucked up the courage to take it.
After unfolding it, Chang Fang was almost laughing to death at Ran Qingxuan's flowery words.
However, when I saw the few random lines below the letter, I immediately understood Ran Qingxuan's intention.
"Your home is in Blackwater River Village?"
"Exactly."
"That's perfect. My home is in Li Village, not far from the town. I will go and treat your mother when I get back."
After Chang Fang finished speaking, he took a pen and paper, asked about the cause of the illness and his mother's name, wrote them down one by one, and prepared to leave.
Qiao Zhixu looked puzzled and quickly chased after him.
"Wait a minute, girl. These are the consultation fee and hard work fee..."
Chang Fang turned her head and refused directly: "No need for the consultation fee. I don't care about just boiling medicine for such a minor illness."
Qiao Zhixu swallowed unconsciously. The disease that had troubled them mother and son for three years was like a piece of cake in the eyes of this teenage girl. How could he not be shocked?
If Ran Qingxuan hadn't just made a guess about why his mother had a persistent cough, he would have really suspected that the two were playing a trick on him...
It was not until Chang Fang drove away in her carriage that Qiao Zhixu realized that he had not apologized for touching someone's hand.
He was annoyed and didn't know where Chang Fang's home was, so he had to walk to the academy with the silver that the other party refused to accept.
Time passed quickly, and the team traveled safely for five days after leaving Sitong City. Gu Yanchen had been carefully guarding against assassins, and was the one who went to bed the latest in recent days.
