Chapter 51 Are You Okay?
-
no.
Is this reasonable?
A young lady who coughed constantly and was so frail that she could faint at any time actually jumped down from a three-meter-high wall.
Gu Jinli didn't have time to react, so she subconsciously moved forward and caught the person falling from above.
“Ouch!”
The frail young lady looks boneless, but she is actually quite big when held in the arms.
Gu Jinli is a cultivator, but when he suddenly encountered the young lady, he couldn't control himself and took a few steps back, almost being knocked to the ground.
"Miss Gu, are you okay?"
Leaning on Gu Jinli like an octopus, Miss Nangong asked with a worried look on her face, "Am I very heavy?"
"fine."
Feeling like his arm was smashed so hard that it almost didn't belong to him anymore, Gu Jinli was so desperate to save face that she gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, she quickly put Nangong Youqing down and said in a bad tone: "Does the young lady always do whatever she wants?"
What if she didn't catch it or reacted a little slowly?
Wouldn't this person just fall to the ground? Given her physical condition, she might die immediately.
"Miss Gu's garden is very beautiful~"
Automatically ignoring Gu Jinli's questioning, Nangong Youqing patted the non-existent dust on her body, picked up her skirt and left.
Looking in the direction, it's still towards the lotus pond.
“…”
In order to prevent the young lady from getting into any danger, Gu Jinli had no choice but to shut up and quickly followed.
…
…
So why did things turn out like this?
Didn’t you say that you are frail and can’t walk around?
Until the end of dinner time, Gu Jinli looked at Nangong Youqing and saw that she was still so excited.
"Miss Gu's yard is much prettier than mine."
Sitting in front of Gu Jinli's desk with her chin propped up, Nangong Youqing fiddled with the pens and ink on the table and sighed, "Can I come to visit Miss Gu more often in the future?"
"Can."
Being harassed by this young lady, Gu Jinli almost lost her temper. She twitched her lips and complained, "But don't climb over the wall again."
"Also, don't call me Miss Gu anymore."
I've been calling her Miss Gu all afternoon and my ears are almost callused. She was clearly not polite at all when we were just strolling around.
"If not Miss Gu, what should I call her?"
Blinking, Nangong Youqing became interested: "Sister Gu?"
elder sister……
I'm almost developing a psychological trauma from these two words.
Gu Jinli responded quickly: "I'm younger than you, how can you call me sister?"
This shell of mine now looks at most twelve or thirteen years old, while Nangong Youqing is obviously older.
"Is that so?"
Nangong Youqing pursed her lips, as if she had just noticed Gu Jinli's age, and said innocently, "It's hard to tell from Miss Gu's appearance... If not sister, what should I call her, A-Li?"
It's hard to tell from the outside...
Does this person mean that she looks too old?
You really can't speak.
With a slightly frozen expression, Gu Jinli said unhappily, "It's all right. It's better to call me by my name."
"Okay, Ari."
I looked at the sky outside and it was already evening.
"It's getting late. I should leave."
Nangong Youqing stood up from her seat and smiled at Gu Jinli: "I don't know when we will meet next time, but I am really happy today."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Without noticing the other party's implied meaning, Gu Jinli just breathed a sigh of relief.
This big Buddha is finally leaving.

I thought the disturbance that day was just the beginning, but for more than twenty days afterwards, Gu Jinli didn't see the eldest lady.
Later, after the Willow Spirit inquired, it was discovered that the "glass man" next door was sick and had been lying in bed until now and had not recovered.
"What disease is so serious?"
When he heard that he had been sick since that day, Gu Jinli's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but guess: "It can't be because he stayed with me for half a day, right?"
“It should be.”
The willow spirit shook its branches and said, "I heard from the old maid that the young lady caught a cold that day and has had a high fever ever since!"
Caught a cold...
"Weren't you still full of energy when you left that day?!"
To be precise, Nangong Youqing was very energetic that afternoon, and she didn't look sick at all when she was talking to Gu Jinli.
Why did he fall ill the next day? !
I was sick for more than twenty days.
"Who knows?"
The willow spirit babbled and guessed, "Is it the last burst of light?"
Gu Jinli: “…”
If you don't know how to use a word, don't use it randomly.
…
Another seven days passed, and there was still no movement next door. Even the maid who went out to buy groceries was rarely seen.
Gu Jinli thought about it again and again, but couldn't sit still anymore.
She spent the whole morning buying some things and prepared to go over and take a look.
After all, they are neighbors and have spent an afternoon together. The other party fell ill after leaving her home. After comprehensive consideration, Gu Jinli felt that she needed to go and meet the eldest lady.
Unfortunately, although she had a good plan, she stood at the door and knocked for a long time, only to find that no one opened it.
"How about A-Li also climb over the wall?"
The little bell in his arms watched the fun and said, "She climbed our wall last time, too."
Gu Jinli: “…”
"No."
She picked up her things and walked back: "Not going anymore."
"Wait a minute, Ari~"
Watching Gu Jinli turn around and leave, the little bell hidden in her arms became a little restless.
"How about I go in and take a look?"
“That’s not necessary.”
After a few steps, he arrived at the gate of his own courtyard. Gu Jinli took out the key and opened the door without even looking back.
"She has someone serving her. If anything happens, that person will be more anxious than us."
That’s right.
Little Bell was convinced and slowly calmed down.
Gu Jinli carried her things back to the yard, ready to wash up and rest.
During this time that she stayed in the human town, Gu Jinli didn't really do nothing.
Life requires financial support. Although she pawned some inconspicuous treasures in the secret realm as start-up capital, it is impossible for her to survive on the secret realm forever.
In order to survive, she needs to find a job.
It was the same in the demon world before. She made killing monsters her profession. She would go out every three days and then return with a full load to sell to the butcher shop for money.
But now, in a town where humans live, this bloody thing can no longer be used as a livelihood.
So after much thought, Gu Jinli decided to go back to his old job - writing storybooks.
As everyone knows, human beings have loved storybooks since ancient times, and those routine stories about grudges and love are also deeply loved by the people.
Since it was her first time to write a storybook about ancient times, in order to grasp the scale and subject matter, she bought some storybooks and spent a week to make up for the missed lessons.
Finally, she came to the conclusion that the people of this world have a special preference for themes such as grassroots counterattack and the overbearing immortal king falling in love with me.
And Gu Jinli is very familiar with these.
She is good at these clichéd stories.
So in the second week, Gu Jinli picked up the brush and began to create a magical operation of writing a book in her own book in another world.
Since she was not very good at using a brush, her handwriting looked like dog scratches. When she first tried to sell it, she was not very optimistic and could not sell it.
But once someone actually reads her story, they will definitely be attracted and become her customer.
Now Gu Jinli has cooperated with the largest bookseller in the city, providing manuscripts at a fixed time every week to obtain funds.
Today is the deadline for submission. Gu Jinli stayed up all night last night to finish the manuscript and is now extremely sleepy.
Now that there was no one next door, I gave up the idea of visiting.
Seeing that Gu Jinli quickly made up her bed, the treasures looked at each other for a long time, then quietly and obediently retreated.
After a while, just when Gu Jinli was about to fall asleep, the screaming sound of the soul-calming bell came from outside and woke her up abruptly.
"Ari, something's wrong!"
It might be related to the original body's ability. When little bell opens her voice, it becomes extremely sharp.
"Ari! The young lady next door has fainted! Go check it out!"
It was obvious that he was the one who sneaked over. Gu Jinli scratched his hair sleepily and let out a long breath.
"There are people waiting over there." She was helpless: "I told you not to go."
"Ari! No one!"
Little Bell was obviously worried. She came in from outside and jumped into her arms. "I saw that the eldest lady was the only one in the house. She seemed to have fainted and was lying on the bed motionless..."
"No one?"
Our young lady is sick, where can the old nanny who takes care of her go?
Gu Jinli frowned, thought for a while, then sat up and put on her clothes reluctantly.
I still have to go and take a look. What if the only one left next door is the sickly young lady? Given her current condition...something might really have happened to her.
…
She quickly put on her clothes and went to the front door and knocked. After making sure that no one opened the door for a long time, Gu Jinli had to use the branches of the willow spirit to climb over the wall and go to the next door.
With Xiao Lingling leading the way, she soon found Nangong Youqing's boudoir.
"Nangong Youqing?"
Standing at the door of the boudoir and knocking, Gu Jinli waited for a while before pushing the door open and walking in.
As soon as you walk in the door, the strong bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine hits you in the face.
Gu Jinli immediately saw the eldest lady lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She was thin and her face was strangely red, and it was obvious that she had a severe fever.
Next to her was a cold medicine jar with some medicine residue left in it, and it was unknown when it had been used.
"Nangong Youqing?"
She quickly walked over and checked the temperature of the person on the bed, and Gu Jinli was shocked by the scorching temperature of her fingertips.
Why is it so hot?
"How are you?"
After calling for a long time, there was no movement. The man's body was burning hot and his breathing was rapid. Gu Jinli guessed that the other person might be confused due to the fever, and he had to find a way to cool him down quickly.
"Xiao Lingling, go and call the changing mud over here, and wipe the young lady's forehead with cold water first."
After making a quick judgment, Gu Jinli arranged everything one by one: "Go to the kitchen and make some easy-to-digest soup to replenish your energy later."
"I'm going to go out for a while and ask a doctor to come."
After saying that, she stood up and left without hesitation.
Time is money. The courtyard is across the street from the clinic, and it would take a cup of tea even if you run fast.
I just hope Nangong Youqing can hold on for a while, or at least her condition doesn't get worse.
…
Feeling someone coming and leaving in a hurry, Nangong Youqing, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.
Her body was hot, limp and powerless.
But those eyes were unexpectedly bright, not like a patient at all.
