Chapter 259, Weird
"Strange monk, has Granny Gu woken up?"
Defu sent the people rescued from the river to the pharmacy. Now everyone else has left, only Granny Gu and the strange monk are still here.
It's not that the two of them didn't want to leave, it's just that Grandma Gu was weak. She fell into the river and was almost half dead. Now she can't get out of bed.
When Daohua came over, Gu Jian was boiling medicine.
Because Defu brought them here, the pharmacy made room for them.
At this moment, Grandma Gu was lying on the bed, and the strange monk was squatting at the door of the room boiling medicine.
Gu Jian glanced at Daohua without saying anything, but moved towards the door.
Daohua stuck her head into the room and saw Grandma Gu struggling to get up on the bed.
Seeing this, Daohua hurried in and helped the old man sit down.
Gu Jian glanced at her and didn't stop her.
Granny Gu took a breath and then smiled at Daohua: "Are you the little girl from Yanjia Village?"
Daohua looked surprised: "Grandma Gu, do you still remember me?"
Granny Gu smiled and nodded.
She was deeply impressed by this little girl. She was only five years old, but she dared to go out alone to get medicine for her grandmother. She was also very brave. When she saw her for the first time, she was not scared at all.
Most of her face was burned, and some adults couldn't help but feel scared when they saw it.
After asking for medicine, her grandmother brought her to the temple several more times and even prepared food for her. This simple friendship is very unforgettable.
Daohua also laughed. She was able to get the medicine because of the abbot of the temple and the help of Grandma Gu.
Although most of her face was burned, she did not look scary because her eyes were very gentle and peaceful.
At this time, Gu Jian came in with medicine.
Daohua immediately laughed and said, "Grandma Gu, your memory is much better than that weird monk's. He didn't even remember me."
Granny Gu glanced at her brother and smiled, "He's busy making a living, so he has more things to think about, and they're more complicated. Naturally, his memory isn't as good as mine, who has nothing else to do."
Daohua asked in confusion, "Grandma Gu, you were all fine in the temple, why did you come to Xingyun Mansion?"
Granny Gu sighed and said, "Abbot Huide has passed away."
Hearing this, Daohua was shocked: "How could that be? I remember that the year we left, he looked very healthy."
Granny Gu: "When illness strikes, it's like a mountain falling. How can you tell whether it's life or death?"
Daohua was silent for a moment before continuing, "Abbot Huide passed away, and the new abbot kicked you out?"
Granny Gu glanced at Gu Jian and said, "The new abbot didn't kick us out, but he got to know the county magistrate, who has an elderly mother who has been bedridden for years. He wanted Xiao Jian to treat her, but Xiao Jian didn't want to. So, we feel embarrassed to stay in the temple any longer."
Daohua nodded, thinking that the monk had a strange temper and seemed to particularly hate officials.
At this time, Gu Jian poured the medicine and prepared to feed it to Grandma Gu.
"Let me do it!"
Daohua took the medicine bowl naturally. The strange monk was already quite old and had been squatting for so long while boiling the medicine. She took a look at him and her legs were trembling.
Gu Jian glanced at Daohua and did not refuse.
Granny Gu smiled and said to Gu Jian, "Sit down and rest for a while!"
Gu Jian nodded and sat on the stool next to him.
As Daohua fed Granny Gu some medicine, she smiled and said, "He really listens to you!"
Granny Gu drank the medicine and said sadly, "I actually hope he won't be so obedient."
The words were spoken softly, and Daohua didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Granny Gu shook her head and said nothing more. Instead, she asked, "Little girl, I heard that the young man you were with before was some kind of prince?"
Daohua smiled and said, "He is not the prince, he is the prince's son."
Gu Jian looked over immediately: "Which prince?"
Daohua looked at him hesitantly: "Why are you asking this?"
Sensing the vigilance in Daohua's eyes, Granny Gu smiled and said, "He really hates owing favors to others. That noble man helped us, and we can't repay him, but we have to know who he is."
After hearing this, Daohua let down her guard a little. Thinking that Xiao Yeyang's identity was no secret here, she said, "He is the legitimate son of Prince Ping."
"Prince Ping?!"
Daohua felt something tight on her hand. She looked down and found that it was Grandma Gu who had grabbed her hand, and Gu Jian, who had been sitting before, also stood up.
"Grandma Gu, what's wrong with you?"
There was even more doubt in Daohua's eyes.
Granny Gu put down her hand, lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head again with a gloomy look on her face: "It's okay."
Daohua stood up and looked at the two of them: "Could it be that you have a grudge against Prince Heping?"
Gu Jian said angrily, "What are you thinking, girl? How can two of us, old and frail, be related to the high and mighty Prince Ping?"
Rice Flower: "That's hard to say!"
There are many masters among the people. Granny Gu and the strange monk are obviously not ordinary people. It is not impossible that they have a grudge against the prince.
Seeing the growing vigilance in Daohua's eyes, Gu Jian was speechless.
He thought he was already on guard enough, but compared to this girl, it was nothing.
He and his sister were just a little excited, but the girl thought they were going to harm Prince Ping's son.
Granny Gu: "Don't worry, little girl, we won't hurt anyone."
Seeing the sincerity in Granny Gu's eyes, Daohua hesitated: "So you know Prince Ping?"
"I say, why do you have so many questions? We ask one, and you have to ask it back, right?" Gu Jian walked over and snatched the medicine bowl from Daohua's hand.
"Okay, you don't have to feed me this medicine anymore, you can go now!"
Seeing the strange monk chasing her out, Daohua was speechless: "I was just asking casually, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Gu Jian held the medicine in one hand and drove the rice flowers with the other: "This is what I am like. If you don't like it, leave now."
Daohua was about to be driven to the door when Xiao Yeyang's voice came over.
"What are you doing?"
Daohua and Gu Jian's bodies both stiffened.
At this moment, with a "thump", Granny Gu fell off the bed.
"sister!"
Gu Jian ran over quickly.
Daohua also quickly followed to help the man.
Seeing that the two were struggling to support her, Xiao Yeyang quickly walked over and easily carried Granny Gu to the bed. Then he asked worriedly, "Granny, did you fall?"
Hearing this, Granny Gu's eyes instantly became moist, and she choked up and said, "It's okay, I'm fine!"
Xiao Yeyang nodded and wanted to withdraw, but found that his hand was being held tightly. Although he was not a mysophobia, he did not like outsiders pulling his hand casually, so he immediately wanted to pull his hand out, but after trying, he couldn't pull it out.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang was helpless. He could use force, but was afraid of hurting the old man. He could only look at the rice flowers behind him for help.
After receiving the signal, Daohua hurried forward and said, "Grandma Gu, lie down first and let the strange monk see if you are hurt." While comforting her in a low voice, she slowly pried open Grandma Gu's hands.
