Chapter 16 Sending Lanterns
Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly: "Xiao Wu, come here."
Xiao Wu then put down his hands that were covering his eyes and turned to look at Ye Chutang.
Chen Yanchuan originally thought that she would be frightened by the scene before her, but to his surprise, when the little girl saw the three people lying on the ground, she was not afraid at all. Instead, her eyes lit up and she ran over.
Then--
She searched carefully for a while, and finally found three purses on the three people, which contained some copper coins, small change, and a silver note.
Then, she ran to Ye Chutang as if offering a treasure.
——Sister! I found money again!
Ye Chutang took a look and found that all these odds and ends added up to more than a hundred taels of silver, so he patted her head and praised her generously: "Great!"
Speaking of which, Cao Chengwen was quite willing to spend money on her. This silver note of one hundred taels should be the deposit paid to them, and there is probably also a balance.
To deal with a weak woman who runs a clinic, this price is really not low.
Ye Chutang was very satisfied and felt that he had gained a lot tonight.
Shen Yanchuan looked at this scene with his eyebrows slightly raised.
Although the three men in black did not die, they were beaten badly. Their faces and bodies were covered in blood, and there were large patches of dark blood on the ground.
There was an unignorable smell of rust and blood in the air.
Even an ordinary adult would be frightened if seeing such a scene, but the little girl seemed to be unconcerned.
She is clearly only three or four years old, and looks so soft and silly, but she reacts like this.
She even ran over to those people and searched for something.
Shen Yanchuan felt that even if the people lying there were dead, her reaction would still not change.
Ye Chutang runs a clinic and is an excellent doctor. It seems that he is also quite good at martial arts now, so it is normal for him to be so calm.
But how was this little kid taught to be like this?
Ye Chutang waved at Xiao Wu and prepared to go back.
Seeing that they were really going to leave, Shen Yanchuan asked, "Doctor Ye is planning to just ignore these people?"
Ye Chutang blinked, the corners of his lips slightly curved: "Isn't Mr. Shen here?"
Chen Yanchuan: “…”
Ye Chutang raised his chin towards the other side of the wall and said, "It seems that the matter over there has been almost resolved. It is inconvenient for me to bring the child with me. Please help me deal with these people together."
Shen Yanchuan was silent for a moment and then smiled.
He had never seen such a self-righteous and unreasonable person. He made such a mess, and he just threw it to him?
"Doctor Ye, we don't seem to be that familiar with each other yet, right? Do you really trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the government?"
If he used any tricks, Ye Chutang would be in countless troubles.
Ye Chutang seemed a little surprised: "Report me? Did I kill someone? Mr. Shen, I am a law-abiding citizen. You can't say such things casually."
Shen Yanchuan fell silent as he looked at the three people lying unconscious and wounded on the ground.
Comply, discipline, observe the law - does she have anything to do with these words?
Ye Chutang didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what he said. His eyes lingered on Shen Yanchuan's left chest for a moment, and he said meaningfully, "Besides, I thought Mr. Shen and I were already friends for life and death."
To put it bluntly, they are already in a relationship where they have taken off their clothes and are honest with each other. If this is not close, then what is close?
She paused, and continued looking down——
“Mr. Shen was injured twice before, is it possible that he hasn’t recovered yet?”
Chen Yanchuan's deep phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
The woman in front of him was clearly just standing there and looking at him, but he felt that her gaze was as hot as a scorching heat, and wherever it fell, it became hot.
There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, as if she couldn't be more easy to talk to.
However, the coldness hidden in the words carried a fierce threat that could not be ignored.
This Doctor Ye... is even more unpredictable than he thought.
The two looked at each other for only a moment, which was extremely brief, but they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
Chen Yanchuan nodded gently: "During the Spring Lantern Festival, Doctor Ye must have a great time."
This was his compromise and he agreed to help Ye Chutang solve the remaining troubles.
There was a hint of smile in Ye Chutang's dark and warm eyes.
"Mr. Shen, the same goes for you. It's a dark and cold night, and your body hasn't recovered yet, so you should go back and rest early."
The subtle sense of confrontation and stalemate in the air dissipated silently, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Chutang wanted to hold Xiaowu's hand, but Xiaowu seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, ran to the side, and picked up the rabbit lantern.
Ye Chutang suddenly realized.
It seems that Xiaowu likes this lantern very much.
But the next second, she saw Xiaowu's eyes widened, his whole face fell, and he looked very sad.
Ye Chutang asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Xiaowu came back with the lantern and held it up for her to see.
Only then did Ye Chutang see a few drops of bright red blood splattered on it, which looked very glaring.
No wonder Xiaowu is so sad.
But this lantern cannot be taken anyway.
Ye Chutang rubbed her little head: "It's just a lantern, it's not a big deal if it gets dirty, we can buy a new one later, okay?"
Xiaowu lowered his head, still very sad.
She picked this specially for her sister! But I can’t keep the lanterns since I haven’t even got home yet…
Just then, a deep and clear voice sounded.
"This is for you."
A hollow lantern suddenly appeared in front of Xiaowu's eyes.
This lantern is in the shape of a crabapple flower, simple yet exquisite, with excellent details.
Xiaowu fell in love with it at once.
She looked up at Ye Chutang eagerly, and it was obvious that she wanted it very much.
But my sister said that I can’t just ask for other people’s things, so I still have to ask her first.
Of course Ye Chutang could see that she really liked this lantern. There had been many unexpected events tonight, so this little wish should certainly be fulfilled.
She nodded and looked at Shen Yanchuan: “Thank you, Mr. Shen, how much is this lantern? I’ll buy it.”
Chen Yanchuan handed it to Xiao Wu directly and said with a faint smile: "No need, it's just a lantern, as long as she likes it."
Xiao Wu took the lantern and bowed seriously to Shen Yanchuan, his white and chubby face showing unconcealed joy.
Chen Yanchuan's eyes moved slightly.
He had been staying in Ye's Clinic for a few days, but had never heard the little kid speak a word.
she……
Xiao Wu didn't think too much about it. After getting the lantern, he turned around and happily gave it to Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang was a little surprised and pointed at his nose: "Give it to me?"
Xiaowu nodded vigorously.
--hold head high! For my sister!
She tilted her little head again and gave Shen Yanchuan a bright smile.
——Thank you! Sister likes the lantern you gave her very much!
Lord Marquis: The token of love has been sent successfully, and I am one step closer to getting married!
