Chapter 52 Moving Here
-
After spending a large sum of money to hire a doctor from the clinic, the two of them rushed back to the yard.
Fortunately, he was diagnosed in time and the problem was not very serious. Gu Jinli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that she has been taking medicine recently. This lady originally had some old illnesses and was very weak. It is inevitable that the cold she caught this time will be more serious..."
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, the doctor picked up the brush and wrote as he said, "I will prescribe three new doses of medicine for you to use together. Stop taking the previous medicine for now!"
"good."
I didn't know what medicine she had used before. Gu Jinli took the prescription handed over by the doctor and said, "When will she wake up? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"I will give you acupuncture later. You will wake up in about an hour."
He opened the medicine box he brought with him and took out the long silver needle. The doctor said, "Eat a lighter diet these days, and focus on nourishing food after the fever subsides for three days..."
After saying that, the doctor also explained the three prescriptions in Gu Jinli's hand.
One dispels cold and dissipates heat, one nourishes and soothes the mind, and the other relieves pain.
"Understood."
After asking about the general situation, Gu Jinli turned around and left without stopping.
It is not good to expose the treasures to outsiders. Now that the eldest lady is under the care of a doctor, she can take this opportunity to go out and get some medicine.
-
An hour later, Gu Jinli, who had run all over the town, returned to the yard carrying three strings of medicine bags.
At this time, the doctor had finished the acupuncture and was waiting for her to come back to settle her wages.
"Why did you take so long?"
The doctor was in a hurry to go back. He was a little unhappy because he had been delayed here for so long: "It's already been an hour."
“It’s hard to find medicinal materials.”
Wiping the sweat from his temples, Gu Jinli took a deep breath and quickly took out his purse to pay the medical bill.
"I will come to give you acupuncture tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have written down the instructions on a piece of paper. Remember to read it."
After leaving these words, the doctor quickly left with the medicine box.
As soon as the people left, the treasures that had been hidden in the dark and secretly watching for a long time suddenly emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
"I'm dying of suffocation!"
"Ali, Ali!"
…
Baibianni was the first to transform into a human form. He reached out to take the medicine bag from Gu Jinli's hand and floated out to boil the medicine.
Little Bell quickly jumped into her arms, humming and acting coquettishly.
"Ms. Gu..."
The person on the bed woke up at some point and called her in a weak voice.
Gu Jinli hurried over to take a look, and met Nangong Youqing's confused gaze.
"Why are you here?"
He struggled to sit up from the bed, but his body was too weak and he failed for a long time.
Seeing that the other person was sweating profusely, Gu Jinli stepped forward helplessly and helped him: "You are still sick, just lie down."
"I……"
As if she had just noticed something unusual about herself, Nangong Youqing quickly looked around.
"Ms. Gu."
Her voice was tinged with sobs, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "You saved me."
"Thank you for coming."
The tail end of her voice was trembling, and Nangong Youqing leaned weakly on the bed, looking extremely fragile.
"So what's going on here."
Looking down at the person on the bed, Gu Jinli sighed slightly: "Where is the old nanny who served you? How come you are the only one left?"
"It's a long story."
Sniffing sadly, Nangong Youqing sobbed and said, "Anyway, she has left me, and now I am alone."
She paused here, and suddenly grabbed Gu Jinli's sleeve, and said cautiously: "You won't dislike me, right?"
"Leave? Leave you completely alone?"
Blinking, Gu Jinli looked at the other person's fingers grabbing her sleeves and asked in confusion: "You are a weak woman, are your family assured?"
“No one cares about me.”
As if she mentioned her own sad story, Nangong Youqing pursed her lips with a look of sorrow, and crystal tears suddenly flowed from her already red eyes.
She let go of Gu Jinli's sleeves and sobbed, "Maybe it's a good thing that I die..."
After saying this, tears started falling like beads from a broken string.
"Don't say that."
So what happened?
Pursing her lips and seeing that the other person was in a bad mood, Gu Jinli had no choice but to change the subject: "You are sick, I will go and boil some medicine for you."
"Don't go!"
When she heard that she was leaving, the originally quiet Nangong Youqing became like a frightened rabbit.
She quickly threw back the quilt, put her feet on the ground, and tried to get up.
There were still tears on her face, and her frail figure looked like she would faint in the next second.
Gu Jinli was startled.
“What are you doing!”
She hurried over to support him.
"Don't leave."
With the support of Gu Jinli's arms, he threw himself into her arms.
Nangong Youqing clutched the front of her clothes tightly, her little face tearful from crying.
"You said you don't mind. Wherever you're going, don't leave me behind."
"I'll go make you some medicine!"
There was suddenly another person in her arms, so Gu Jinli had to stop and said quickly: "Let me go first."
"No."
Tears kept streaming down from her eyes, soon wetting her clothes.
Nangong Youqing cried while holding her tightly and said, "Let me go with you! I want to be with you."
Gu Jinli: “…”
She just boiled some medicine.
How come it's like a life-and-death separation?
…
This was the first time that Gu Jinli met such a difficult person. Not only was he sensitive in character, but he was also extremely weak.
Tears fall as soon as they are spoken, and yet they act justified in doing so.
Looking at the girl sobbing in his arms, Gu Jinli was overwhelmed.
"Don't do that."
Feeling the other person's obviously abnormal body temperature, she was helpless: "I won't leave, but you need medicine."
The medicine for Baibianni has been boiled, and Gu Jinli has to go over and take a look.
"I'm fine, just lie down for a while."
In just a short while, her eyes turned as red as a rabbit's.
Nangong Youqing stepped on the ground barefoot, grabbed Gu Jinli's clothes, and shivered: "This is an old problem."
"……All right."
Naturally noticing that the other person was still barefoot, Gu Jinli sighed slightly: "Sit down first."
After saying that, he helped the person sit back on the bed and sat down beside him.
"Can you take me away?"
Finally releasing the fingers that were holding the other person, Nangong Youqing lowered her head and whispered, "This house is about to expire, and I have nowhere to go."
"so what?"
The expression on his face slightly restrained, and Gu Jinli stared at the person next to him without blinking: "Do you want me to take you back? Do you want to live with me?"
"C-Can I?"
As these three words fell, Nangong Youqing's tears began to flow again.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her head down so her expression couldn't be seen, but her sadness and grief filled the entire room.
"I don't want to die where no one knows."
This yard is too big and too deserted.
"Why."
It's about why, not what.
Gu Jinli chuckled and felt that she was a little too easy to talk to.
"I know this is a little bit unreasonable."
Nangong Youqing bit her lip to hold back her sadness, and said in a tearful voice, "Just consider it as helping me. I can do anything."
"As long as you can accept me."
Can you do anything?
This sounds really pitiful.
"What can you do?" Gu Jinli suddenly became curious.
"I……"
Summoning his courage, the man said: "Although I am weak, I am good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"I saw you playing chess alone last time. I can play chess with you."
A person plays chess...
Oh, you're talking about the time when I climbed over the wall~
Gu Jinli remembered that she was playing chess with Baibianni that day, but the opponent suddenly appeared.
In order to avoid her attention, the changing mud simply turned into water and disappeared. This is why Nangong Youqing mentioned playing chess alone.
But if you can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...
"Even if you can play chess, your body won't be able to handle it, right?"
Gu Jinli pointed out: "Last time you stayed at my place for half a day, and you got sick when you came back."
"I spent all my savings buying you medicine today. I don't have the money to take care of you next time."
That’s what she said, but only Gu Jinli herself knows whether she has spent all the money.
She just wanted to see how far this young lady could go.
"I'm sorry, I was selfish."
With her eyes somewhat dazed, Nangong Youqing smiled bitterly: "This body is indeed a burden, you have no reason to care about me..."
Taking a deep breath, she gave up directly: "When the lease expires, I will leave on my own."
that's all?
"All right."
Gu Jinli didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I do have something I want to trouble you with, but if you're planning to fend for yourself, then forget it."
"What's up."
Nangong Youqing said dejectedly: "I can't do anything."
"No, you can do this."
With the corners of her lips slightly raised, Gu Jinli stared into the man's eyes and spoke softly, "In fact, I really need a copyist right now..."
Every time I handed my own manuscripts to booksellers, a few cents of profit would be deducted because of the poor handwriting.
Gu Jinli has a problem with her handwriting, that is, she tends to write curly strokes when she is in a hurry. This is also her habit as a modern person.
Every time you come to this kind of paragraph, it is a special test of the reader's vision and energy.
It is very laborious for booksellers to identify her handwriting and then find someone to recopy it and sell it, which will deduct some of the profits.
Therefore, Gu Jinli has been wondering whether she should find someone to review it first.
After all, a few cents of profit can be a considerable sum after a big sale.
"I can."
Finally understanding what Gu Jinli meant, Nangong Youqing swept away her previous frustration and quickly said, "My handwriting is very good, I can help you."
“I see~”
Blinking, Gu Jinli smiled: "Thank you for your help. In return, when you feel better, you can move in!"
"There are many rooms in my yard. You can choose one to live in."
"Really?!"
Nangong Youqing didn't expect the other party to agree in this way. She was stunned at first, but soon turned into ecstasy.
"I will copy the book well!" she said, "I will never let you down!"
"I'm looking forward to your performance."
With a twinkle in his eyes, Gu Jinli straightened his collar with his hand, stood up and said, "Can I go boil the medicine now?"
"You can only take medicine to keep your body healthy."
"good."
Raising her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, Nangong Youqing put her legs back on the bed and lay down with a well-behaved look on her face.
"I will take good care of myself and recover from my illness."
