Chapter 444 Please Help Me
"You stand up first." An Yan signaled her not to kneel.
The old man knew that An Yan didn't like people kneeling, so he used his palm power to push Lan Yu up.
Lan Yu said, "Today, I not only brought the pearls, but also the deed to our city. As long as the city lord is willing to save my uncle's life, I will naturally offer it to him."
"You are wrong. What was written in the life and death contract was that the Ten Pearls and the city along the river all belong to West City." The old man reminded Lan Yu rudely.
Lan Yu paused for a moment, and then burst into tears.
The old man only felt that it was noisy, but when he went to see Anyan, she was expressionless.
Li Rongsen naturally didn't want to say anything more on Lan Yu's behalf, and was afraid that she would use some conspiracy or trickery.
Lan Yu said, "No matter what, human lives are at stake. City Lord, please help us. We will never dare to offend you again. From now on, we will follow your lead without hesitation."
"There's no need to say that." An Yan signaled her not to be so exaggerated.
"I'm speaking from the heart, and we dare not disobey." Lan Yu only wanted his uncle to survive. He then said to An Yan, "If my uncle gets better, I will take him away from here immediately and return to my little place to cultivate his character."
Since the old man didn't say anything, he would naturally listen to An Yan.
An Yan thought about it carefully, and first signaled the old man to accept all the pearls. Then, she said to Lan Yu, "Where is the city deed?"
"Here." Lan Yu took out a roll of silk paper from his sleeve.
An Yan hung the silk paper in the air and opened it. Qu He's name was no longer on it. It was obvious that Qu He was willing to accept the loss. She asked, "Where is he now?"
"It's just outside the city gate. I came here with my uncle." Lan Yu said.
An Yan turned around and said to the old man, "Let him in, carry him to the herbal medicine hall, and I will check on him." After that, she put away the silk paper and threw it into the old man's hands again.
The old man agreed, then walked out of the city gate to give orders, and Lan Yu followed him away.
Li Rongsen said, "Do you really want to save him?"
"It's also a human life. People should be kind-hearted. There is no need to take someone's life." An Yan answered him.
At this moment, Yan Qingqiu came over with medicine in his hand and said to An Yan, "What are you doing running around? You made me run around like that too. The medicine is ready. Take it quickly."
"It's okay for me not to take medicine." An Yan disagreed.
"You can't refuse my kindness." Yan Qingqiu said as he handed the medicine to Li Rongsen and instructed him, "Hey, feed her the medicine."
Li Rongsen was stunned, while An Yan had already walked over to him, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, saying, "Is this okay?"
"There's another one tonight."
"I don't want to drink it anymore. It's so bitter." An Yan said calmly.
"What are you talking about? You know that good medicine tastes bitter." Yan Qingqiu said.
An Yan did not respond to this, but went back to her room to get medicine, and then went to the yard to pick a branch of Youyue grass and a branch of Ganoderma lucidum grass, then walked into the house and threw them into the medicine cauldron.
Li Rongsen walked in and asked her, "You still have to go to Gu Zinan's place today, why don't I go for you?"
"I'll be there in a moment." An Yan replied.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Your health is more important." Li Rongsen reminded her.
"I think you forgot one thing. What day is today? You should go to your grandfather's house for dinner." An Yan said.
Li Rongsen had really forgotten about this matter and said, "I'll just call home and tell them."
"There's time." An Yan said as she took care of the herbs in her hand, and then said, "There's no time to waste. Let's go to Gu Zinan first, and then go to your grandfather's house."
Li Rongsen did not object, and was somewhat happy in his heart, and said, "Okay."
The old man came from outside and said to An Yan, "The person has been brought in. How is the situation now?"
"I'll be done soon." An Yan signaled them not to worry, while taking her own golden needle. When she saw Yan Qingqiu walk in, she said to him, "Hey, come with me to save Qu He."
"I'm not going." Yan Qingqiu immediately objected.
"I can't handle it alone, so you come and help me give him acupuncture. I'll use the gold needles and you the silver needles. This way he will get better faster." An Yan just told him, not caring whether he was willing or not.
But Yan Qingqiu was not happy about it and said, "I didn't promise to cure him. It's good enough that I don't kill him."
"If you're obedient, you can stay here for a big dinner tonight." An Yan turned and looked at him.
"What does this mean? Are you and Li Rongsen not having dinner here?" Yan Qingqiu was a little confused.
"We have to go back and don't have time. Let you enjoy it alone. Are you happy?" An Yan asked him back.
Yan Qingqiu scoffed, then said, "What's the point of eating alone?"
An Yan just stared at him with a look that said, "Why are you being so hypocritical?" This finally made Yan Qingqiu give in, but she was still complaining, saying, "Why don't you teach Li Rongsen a lesson? He can be your assistant in the future."
"This is a good idea. It's not a bad thing to learn another skill." Li Rongsen agreed immediately.
Yan Qingqiu chuckled at Li Rongsen and said, "That's exactly what I meant. You two can practice when you sleep together at night."
An Yan slashed at Yan Qingqiu with a palm, but he dodged it easily and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, isn't it enough that I was wrong? Why did you have to be so cruel?"
"If I really do something cruel to you, can you still escape?" An Yan asked him.
Yan Qingqiu only hid behind Li Rongsen, sticking half of his head out, and said to An Yan: "You are ruthless. I was just saying it casually. My thoughts are pure. It's you two who have the wrong ideas."
"If you keep talking like that, I won't help you." Li Rongsen sneered.
Yan Qingqiu pushed Li Rongsen forward in anger, in front of An Yan, so that the two of them almost hugged each other.
An Yan quickly took two steps back and saw Yan Qingqiu had already run ahead. Then she looked up at Li Rongsen and said, "He's becoming more and more boring, and his actions are very childish."
Li Rongsen's heart had been beating very fast just now. He said, "Let's go to the front too. We can settle the score with him later."
An Yan nodded and walked forward.
Qu He's condition in front was indeed not ideal. He could barely speak, but he could not move his whole body. Moreover, the clothes he was wearing had become too tight and would be embedded in his flesh in a few days.
Lan Yu was still crying beside her, which made Yan Qingqiu feel very strange. This tomboy could actually become so pitiful, but he didn't have the talent to be gentle with women, so he didn't think much of it.
An Yan fixed her eyes on the dress and said to Qu He, "This dress needs to be untied, otherwise it will cost you your life."
"I" Qu Heyuan wanted to say something, but he didn't want to say it. First, he was ashamed. Second, he was still a little unconvinced. Third, he hated himself for trying to be brave without being completely sure. Fourth, this torn clothes was indeed a disaster. It was a pity that he didn't believe it at first.
Yan Qingqiu said, "It's not difficult to take off the clothes, just burn them with fire."
"Wouldn't that mean my uncle would be burned to death as well?" Lan Yu frowned.
Yan Qingqiu sneered: "What else do you want?"
"I hope you can save my uncle. If you use fire, he will be burned to death. Even if he is not burned to death, it will be very painful." Lan Yu was very panicked and felt that Yan Qingqiu was deliberately going against him.
An Yan said to Yan Qingqiu, "Don't scare her."
"I'm telling the truth." Yan Qingqiu shrugged slightly.
