Chapter 39: Hook and Hang
Shen Tingyu remained calm and lied easily: "The secret is..."
"As long as you don't reveal the existence of this fairy to anyone, I can fulfill one of your wishes." Shen Tingyu's eyes were sharp, and the corners of his lips were raised with a subtle inquiry.
She was testing him. After all, Gu Xiaoman knew her secret, and she couldn't do anything cruel or cold-blooded.
Although not many people took the child's words seriously, that might not be the case for the miracle doctors, and she was the key person to find them.
I hope she doesn't let herself down!
Gu Xiaoman wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were red and watery. She hesitated to speak: "I... I don't have any wishes."
Her curled fingers revealed her uneasy mood at the moment. She habitually lowered her head to help Shen Tingyu gather her Liuxian skirt to prevent her from accidentally stepping on the corner of her clothes and falling, pretending to be very busy.
Shen Tingyu took in her reaction, walked slowly closer, smiled slightly, but his eyes gradually sharpened: “Really?”
"I..." Gu Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, mustered up his courage, and lowered his voice little by little, feeling a little nervous and expectant.
"My father's hand is injured and he can't go up the mountain to hunt. I don't want to see him in pain. Little fairy, can you help me heal his injury?"
This is not difficult. Her father's injury was caused by a poisonous insect in his body. According to the plot, as long as the great and small doctors appear, her father's injury can be cured.
But that's not what she wanted to know!
"Don't worry, your father's injury will heal soon." Shen Tingyu coaxed: "What else do you want? Do you want money? Do you want to become more beautiful? Do you want me to help you bully those kids who beat you back..."
And she only heard the word "healed".
"That's great. Daddy doesn't have to cry anymore." Gu Xiaoman's worries were instantly relieved. She couldn't help but smile slightly, then shook her head firmly: "I only need Daddy."
It’s good not to be greedy, and she is very satisfied in her heart, but Shen Tingyu has a serious expression on his face: “What if I force you to tell me a wish?”
Gu Xiaoman was stunned, lowered her eyes and put her fingers on her chin, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes: "I want a beautiful hair ornament, like the one worn by Sister Gillian at the entrance of the village."
Shen Tingyu was surprised that he only wanted a three-cent flower for his head. What a simple and honest mind!
She passed!
Shen Tingyu felt a little relieved.
"Don't worry, fairy. Xiaoman will never tell anyone, not even Daddy." Gu Xiaoman lowered her voice, took the initiative to extend her hand, and slowly said: "We can make a pinky promise. If I lie, I will turn into a puppy!"
"We'll make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years!"
Shen Tingyu stood on tiptoe, with the tip of her little finger touching the tip of her little finger, imprinting a promise, and ripples appeared in her heart from the light touch of her fingertips.
"I'll sew a new one for the fairy."
Her clothes were torn. Gu Xiaoman took out the sewing box, measured her body shape with her fingers, and sewed a small piece of clothes for her. Her hands were very skillful, and in a short while, a simple little dress was sewn.
"Here!" Gu Xiaoman was a little embarrassed, drawing circles on the ground with her little feet, "It's not as beautiful as the one the fairy is wearing."
Shen Tingyu didn't dislike it and put it on directly. The whole person changed from an exquisite fairy to an ordinary rag doll, gray and her appearance dimmed a bit.
If her identity was discovered at this time, no one would believe her even if she said she was a fairy.
Who is Shen Tingyu? Following the clues, they soon found a person who was suspected to be a miracle doctor - a new young doctor from Huichuntang!
Because he charged the least for medical treatment and prescription medicine.
Huichuntang is in the town, and the transformation pill is still in the cooling period. Shen Tingyu did not dare to be careless. She rode the big bird and stopped cautiously above the eaves.
In the long streets and alleys paved with bluestone, noisy people gathered in circles around the entrance of Huichun Hall. It was so lively that a carriage was stopped in the middle of the road. Some people confronted each other in the street, some watched the excitement with a faint smile, and some were indifferent.
The source of all the noise was a beautiful woman in linen clothes, kneeling on the ground, tightly grasping the hem of the Huichuntang doctor's clothes.
Her eyes were dim, as if she was overwhelmed with grief. She moved her red, dry lips, tears welling up in her eyes as she pleaded, "Doctor, I beg you, please be kind. I will definitely pay you back for the medicine."
"If you don't have money, don't buy such expensive herbs. I run a herbal medicine shop, not a charity. Madam, please respect yourself and stop bothering me."
The beautiful woman, tears in her eyes, shook her head and said, "Other herbs have had no effect. I know this medicine is precious. I can stay and do odd jobs for you until you pay me back. But human lives can't wait. I really have no other choice. I kowtow to you."
Dong dong dong, the sound of kowtows became louder and louder, and the onlookers pointed at her.
Shen Tingyu heard the reason clearly and saw it clearly. The sadness and despair in the woman's eyes did not seem fake. The blood on her forehead was gushing, bright red and glaring.
The people from Huichuntang forcefully pried her hands apart and drove her away. Shen Tingyu was a little disappointed. It seemed that the great doctors were not in Huichuntang, nor were they the new doctor.
The woman walked on the street like a zombie, her steps stumbling, and the despair in her eyes almost overflowing.
Shen Tingyu stopped as she was about to leave, looked at her with pity, and an idea popped up in her mind: "Help her!"
Since she thought so, she did it. She pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, controlled the big bird to fly above her head, and when she walked into the alley with few pedestrians, she took the opportunity to throw down the golden hairpin.
The small golden hairpin fell and hit her head accurately.
Then it fell from above her head to the ground. A golden afterimage flashed across her eyes. The woman thought it was a pile of bird droppings. The chill in her heart became more and more sad, and gradually spread to her limbs.
bite!
The sound of metal falling, this sound, is very much like gold. The woman quickly looked down, her eyes widened in shock, "It really is..." gold!
Gold falling from the sky?
She looked up quickly and saw only a gray-yellow sparrow in the sky. The gray was particularly conspicuous, like a gray corner of a piece of clothing.
The woman stared blankly until the sparrow in the sky flew away and turned into a black dot and disappeared.
She picked up the gold on the ground and looked at it carefully.
It turned out to be an extremely tiny gold hairpin!
The woman's slender white fingers gently stroked it, observing the exquisite pattern on it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She confirmed that she was not mistaken. It was just a piece of clothing. She suddenly remembered what the group of children lying in the alley said.
Her fingers kept stroking the golden hairpin, and the woman suddenly said, "Qingshi Town... interesting!"
