Chapter 260, Gift
With Gu Jian's support, Grandma Gu slowly lay back on the bed, but her eyes were staring straight at Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he looked away and looked at Daohua, asking with a questioning look, "What is going on?"
Daohua shrugged and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know either.
Just when Daohua thought that Grandma Gu was going to say something, Grandma Gu closed her eyes and turned her back to them, as if she didn't want to look at them anymore.
Gu Jian then spoke: "My sister wants to rest, you guys go back!" He did not hide his intention to drive people away.
In response, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other in surprise.
Daohua looked at Granny Gu lying on the bed, thought for a moment and said, "Granny Gu, you should have a good rest. We'll be leaving first."
Granny Gu didn't respond, but Gu Jian started waving his hands, looking impatient.
Daohua was speechless and quickly left the room with Xiao Yeyang.
As soon as the two stepped out of the door, it was slammed shut.
Xiao Yeyang was visibly stunned when he saw the closed door. This was the first time he had been kicked out! After a while, he said dissatisfiedly, "What kind of attitude is this?"
Daohua was also speechless: "Strange monks are like this, they have very strange tempers. If they don't like someone, they won't even bother to look at them."
Xiao Yeyang looked at him unkindly: "Do you mean that the weird monk hates me?" Otherwise, why would you drive him away as soon as he came?
Daohua propped up her chin, glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and suddenly said, "They probably knew your father, and maybe they even had a grudge against him."
Xiao Yeyang laughed and said directly, "Impossible! No matter how bad my father is, he would never bully two people who are older than your grandmother."
Daohua nodded, but still looked puzzled. "But when they heard me talk about Prince Ping, they were all so excited. Granny Gu also lost her composure when she saw you. How do you explain this?"
Xiao Yeyang was speechless: "How should I know? Didn't you say they were weird? Isn't it normal for weird people to behave strangely?"
Daohua shook her head and continued to ponder: "I think that they either have a grudge against your family or a favor."
Xiao Ye interrupted, "Then it's a favor. Judging from the two of them, they must have suffered great hardship in the past. Perhaps it was my father who saved them."
Daohua nodded: "Maybe that's true. If there really is a grudge, Granny Gu wouldn't treat you like that."
Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, let's not talk about this. I have nothing to do today, so I'll go with you to the porridge distribution."
"Okay, Yuanyao and I are worried about not having enough manpower."
In the room, Gu Jian didn't leave the window until Xiao Yeyang and Daohua were out of sight. He walked to the bed and sat down.
Granny Gu opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling of the tent with lifeless eyes: "Is the person gone?"
Gu Jian nodded and said, "Let's go."
After a moment of silence, Granny Gu smiled faintly, "God has been kind to me. I can see Prince Ping's son before I die."
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Gu Jian's eyes: "Sister"
Granny Gu raised her skinny hand and interrupted Gu Jian: "Let's leave after a while when I feel better. Since we've already made the choice, let's not bother them anymore."
Gu Jian lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. After a long while, he said helplessly: "Okay. The girl sent some rice and flour, I will go to cook for you." With that, he got up and left.
Looking at her brother's departing back, Grandma Gu lay on the bed, took a deep breath, touched her burned cheek, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
This is her fate!
Although the behavior of Granny Gu and the strange monk was somewhat puzzling, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang did not take it to heart because they did not sense any malice.
For a while afterwards, one of them was busy distributing porridge, and the other was busy helping Governor Guo, and they simply forgot about this matter.
After the disaster in Xingyun Prefecture eased and porridge was no longer distributed at the city gate, Daohua finally remembered the two of them.
"I wonder if Granny Gu has recovered from her illness? I'll stop by to see them after I pack up the soup kitchen utensils."
Xiao Yeyang was helping out on the side. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
Daohua looked back and asked: "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "That old lady looks quite pitiful, let's go and take a look." Thinking of the sadness in the old woman's eyes when she looked at him, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Daohua was indifferent and packed up her things quickly. After she was done, she said something to Dong Yuanyao and went to the pharmacy with Wang Maner and Xiao Yeyang.
After arriving at the pharmacy, the owner told me that Granny Gu and the strange monk had left a few days ago.
Daohua looked surprised: "Why did she pass away? Can Grandma Gu get out of bed?" Although she didn't know the specific physical condition of Grandma Gu, she could see that she was very weak and would not be able to recover without lying down for a month or two.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Master Gu rented an ox cart and took Granny Gu away."
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "They left in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"
The shopkeeper said he didn't know and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the two of you. I think Master Gu is a very capable person. He has helped me a lot in the past few days in the pharmacy and treated many patients."
"Although Granny Gu's health hasn't fully recovered, she's gotten much better. Although she can't walk for long periods of time, she can still walk around occasionally."
"By the way, before Master Gu left, he left two things and asked me to pass them on to you."
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other, then looked curiously at the shopkeeper who was going to get the things.
Soon, the shopkeeper came out with two things wrapped tightly in sheepskin: "The one with the red string is for Miss Yan, and the one with the blue string is for the young prince."
Daohua took it and shook it: "Is this a book?"
The two men did not open it immediately. After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper and leaving, they got directly into the carriage.
After getting on the car, Daohua quickly opened the sheepskin wrapping and saw a book: "This is a medical book!"
Daohua took a quick look and her eyes lit up.
The book records many medical prescriptions and even the making of poisons.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Isn't it just a medical book? Is it worth you being so happy?"
Daohua: "What do you know? The strange monk has very high medical skills. If I can learn a thing or two, I can benefit from it for the rest of my life." Of course, what made her happiest was not the medical book itself, but that in the future, if she wanted to come up with any prescriptions, she would have an excuse to cite it.
"Look what yours is!"
Xiao Yeyang nodded and quickly opened the sheepskin. Then, his face showed excitement.
What he had was a martial arts secret book, and it was a top-notch martial arts secret book.
Daohua looked at the medical book in her hand, and then looked at the martial arts secret book in Xiao Yeyang's hand: "Grandma Gu and the strange monk are indeed not ordinary people."
He paused and said strangely.
"It's understandable that the strange monk gave me the medical book, after all, I'm their savior. But how can I give you the martial arts secrets to someone I've only met two or three times?"
Xiao Yeyang was also stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Perhaps, it is really my father who has done them a favor."
Daohua was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Anyway, there won't be any grudge."
