Chapter 292 Go out of the city gate to punish you
Lan Yu looked towards the wooden staff, then walked closer to examine it. He realized it was truly a remarkable object and immediately praised the younger brother, saying, "Not bad, clever boy. That's quite interesting. It seems this thing really works."
"Master, please see how we can help you."
"You guys move aside, I'll try him myself first." Lan Yu said as she tried to pull out the wooden stick, but unfortunately it didn't move at all, which made her a little discouraged.
She took two steps back, then began to gather her strength, loosening the stick slightly, but it was harmless. Frowning, she said, "What a hassle! It's buried too deep."
"Use this rope to tie him up, and then let the brothers pull him together. It should be easier to pull out after it is pulled crooked." This was another idea of the clever little guy just now.
Lan Yu raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She immediately took out a rope, tied one end to the wooden stick, and then handed it to her brothers, asking them to pull the wooden stick with all their strength.
The rope was originally a treasure. It could gather all the strength in one place and multiply it tenfold. Now that dozens of people were exerting strength together, the wooden stick naturally began to shake.
They even started to chant slogans: "One, two, three, pull one, two, three, pull"
This matter naturally had to be reported to An Yan. She frowned and said, "Oh, she really won't give up. It seems that she must see him."
"I guess it's not just a simple sight, he has other intentions." Yan Qingqiu said.
Li Rongsen said, "I'll go out and explain it to her."
"Don't go. When she sees you, she will want to eat you up. She won't be in the mood to listen to what you have to say." Yan Qingqiu was deliberately trying to scare him.
"Oh, what should we do? We can't let all the people in the city stay awake all night." Li Rongsen didn't want to affect others because of his relationship.
An Yan asked the old man, "Is the food ready? Bring it up first."
Yan Qingqiu became excited when he heard about food. He immediately sat down next to An Yan and said, "I'm not hungry when I talk about food. I get hungry when I hear about food."
"You guys eat first, I'll go outside to take a look." Li Rongsen said as he was about to leave.
But An Yan stopped him and said, "Come back, sit down and eat."
"The wooden staff is the treasure of the city, we can't let them destroy it."
"Let them pull it for a while, it's okay, let's eat first and then go out." An Yan motioned Li Rongsen to come back and sit down.
The old man also gestured for Li Rongsen to sit down and said, "Just listen to the City Lord. She has always been like this. If she is not anxious, why should you and I be anxious? This shows that the City Lord knows her limits."
"That's what I mean. Besides, it's useless for us to worry. I may not be able to beat that woman, and you will be even less able to beat her. Going out will be like walking into a trap." Yan Qingqiu had already handed him the bowl and chopsticks.
Li Rongsen had no choice but to sit down obediently.
The three of them ate leisurely together, and the old man was serving them with a smile on his face.
From time to time, people from outside came to report the situation at the door.
Finally, An Yan put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, and pointed at a dish and said, "This dish tastes really good. It's very well made."
"Oh, I was worried that the city lord wouldn't be used to it. This is a new dish." The old man told her with a smile.
"Well, it's delicious. You are thoughtful. I will ask them to bring you floral-scented shampoo tomorrow." An Yan said to him.
"That really touches my heart. This is exactly what I need." The old man smiled happily.
An Yan stood up and said to Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen, "You guys take your time eating. I'll go check out the Ganoderma lucidum." Then she went outside.
The Ganoderma lucidum was growing very well and had matured. This was what made An Yan most happy. She carefully picked two flowers and brought them into the medicine room. After washing them, she placed them in a bamboo basket.
Then she went to check the medicine in the cauldron. It was almost ready, so she took them out one by one with bamboo tweezers and put them on a plate to dry.
Li Rongsen came over and said, "I'm going to the North Courtyard another day."
"Let Bei Mo come over. It's not suitable for you to go out recently." An Yan told him, and then said, "Have you finalized the business deal with him?"
"It's basically confirmed. He can earn tens of millions a year. This is just the beginning. The future is immeasurable." Li Rongsen said as he went to help her organize the medicine.
"Many people like fireworks, right?" An Yan asked.
"Yeah, the orders are just like snowflakes."
"People always like things that are fleeting." An Yan said lightly.
Li Rongsen was a little confused when he heard this and asked, "Have you thought of something?"
An Yan raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Nothing, just said it casually, no special meaning."
Li Rongsen nodded slightly and asked her, "When will Wen Jiaer's medicine be ready? I see the Ganoderma lucidum in the yard is growing well, so it should be ripe by now."
"Yes. Let's stay overnight and prepare the medicine before going back."
"Thank you for your hard work, but his sister doesn't seem grateful to you." Li Rongsen said.
"I don't need anyone's gratitude, including Wen Jiaer." An Yan said as she tidied up the herbs on the table.
"I understand. You are doing this out of kindness as a doctor." Li Rongsen said. He hoped that An Yan was only here for this reason and nothing else.
An Yan didn't explain anything. She found a suitable wooden bowl, cut the Ganoderma lucidum into pieces and threw it in. Then she started to pound it with a wooden hammer, while pouring some of the water droplets in the jar into it.
In an instant, the Ganoderma lucidum turned into a paste-like substance, sticky and gooey.
Outside, Yan Qingqiu came over again, chewing an apple. He said, "I just went outside to take a look and saw how hard they were struggling. They've already pulled the wooden sticks a little crooked, so it's obvious they're about to fall."
"Not yet, it hasn't touched the barrier yet." An Yan knew it in her heart.
But just as she finished speaking, she saw lightning and thunder above the West City.
Li Rongsen frowned, thinking something had happened. He was about to say something to An Yan, but he realized she was gone. Yan Qingqiu was almost blown down by the wind, but luckily he held onto the door frame and said, "An Yan was really fast. I didn't even see how she passed by me."
"Let's go to the city gate and take a look."
"Don't go. Stay here. I'll go and take a look, lest that woman who looks neither male nor female goes crazy when she sees you." Yan Qingqiu said as he also went to the city gate.
An Yan went straight up to the city wall and looked down at what Lan Yu and his gang were doing.
Lan Yu looked up and saw lightning flashing in the sky. She also saw An Yan and laughed loudly. "Hurry up and open the door, or I'll beat you in too. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?"
"I advise you to save your energy." An Yan was not afraid. She jumped lightly and stood on the stone railing of the city wall.
Lan Yu didn't know why she was a little afraid of her. She saw the strong wind blowing up An Yan's clothes, making them flutter like flags. She looked like she was about to rush down, which made her nervous. But she kept shouting, "Pull quickly, pull quickly, use more force!"
The wooden stick seemed to be getting more and more tilted, and the thunder in my ears was becoming more and more deafening. The lightning had already illuminated the earth with silver light, as if a catastrophe was about to happen.
An Yan jumped straight down from the city wall.
This made Lan Yu at a loss, and even made her brothers stop their efforts. They all had no idea what she was going to do.
At this time, Yan Qingqiu had already arrived. Seeing An Yan like this, he panicked and shouted loudly: "Send the old man over, quickly send the old man over, and prepare to open the city gate!"
