There wasn't much inside, but everything was neatly organized.
The boy placed the person on the bench and then walked out.
Xu Erniang gave Qi Nuan a clean set of clothes to change into. During this time, Qi Nuan kept gesturing to the woman, but the woman didn't understand at all.
Qi Nuan was helpless and exhausted.
Finally, Qi Nuan took the woman's hand and wrote "thank you" on it. Just as she was about to write something else, the woman pulled her hand back and looked at Qi Nuan, saying, "I can't read yet, so don't write anymore. Only the boss and Ji Jin here can read."
Qi Nuan withdrew her hand.
Sitting there, lost in thought.
"I wonder how Ayu and the others are doing?"
Thinking of Ahua, she felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but feel anxious, as Ayu and the others still didn't know Ahua's identity.
Where is this place? No, she has to go back and relay the message to Ayu and the others…
"Cough cough...cough..."
She coughed in her excitement, which aggravated her internal organs and wounds, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and nearly faint.
Fortunately, Xu Erniang caught the person and helped him up.
"Don't move around, or no one will care if you die." Xu Erniang's voice was not polite. Qi Nuan was not angry, but just sat there coughing.
"Ji Jin".
Xu Erniang called out to the door, and the young man walked in.
“Take her back, I can’t control her. Get her some food, you know how to do that, right?” Before he could finish speaking, he added, “Never mind, leave her here with me, I’ll keep an eye on her for you.”
The boy nodded upon hearing this, as if he could accept whatever anyone said.
"Put her on the bed first, I'll get her something to eat." With that, Xu Erniang left.
The boy placed Qi Nuan on the bed. When Qi Nuan saw that the boy was about to leave, she grabbed the corner of his clothes.
She remembered the woman saying that only their boss and Ji Jin could read, and the woman called him Ji Jin because he could read. Qi Nuan placed her hopes on him.
He looked at Qi Nuan holding his hand, but didn't say anything, just stared at her curiously.
Qi Nuan was panting and it took her a while to recover. With some strength, she took his hand and wrote on a piece of paper in his palm. The boy felt the warmth of the girl in his palm and recognized the words she had written.
But Qi Nuan didn't react at all.
Qi Nuan continued writing.
The boy still did not answer her, nor did he remove his hand.
Those clear eyes just looked at her like that.
After a long while, just as Qi Nuan was about to lose patience, she finally spoke, "Take good care of yourself, I'll give it to you when you're better." Then she left...
Qi Nuan sniffed, helpless, and could only lie on the bed, looking at the white bed curtains.
She closed her eyes. Forget it, she'd better focus on recovering. She didn't want to die young.
Not long after, the woman brought in a bowl of plain porridge.
She introduced herself to Qi Nuan, who then learned that her name was Xu Erniang, also known as Xu Erniang, and fed her some white porridge.
Qi Nuan found the plain porridge so hard to swallow. It wasn't that the porridge tasted bad, but rather that Qi Nuan couldn't eat anything at the moment. Every time she opened her mouth, she could feel a pain in her stomach.
She felt a little nauseous, but she forced herself to finish the bowl of porridge.
Although Qi Nuan had her brows furrowed, she still finished the white porridge.
Xu Erniang also gave her a genuine smile.
"That's good. Eating more will help you recover faster. Don't think about the past. Just settle down and stay in the village."
She put the bowl aside and wiped Qi Nuan's mouth.
"Alright, tell the boss what you want to do. You can only do it if the boss agrees, understand?"
Qi Nuan nodded and winked at Xu Erniang to express her gratitude.
Boss, do you know who their boss is?
She thought of the young man who had treated her illness. Was he their leader? Today, he stood at the head of the group.
But thinking about it is useless. She can't do anything right now. She can't speak, and she can't even gather information or pass on messages.
Moreover, Qi Nuan could sense that Xu Erniang and the others didn't really care about her affairs and had no intention of avoiding her questions.
Qi Nuan lay down and fell asleep in no time.
After a while, the boy came to Qi Nuan's bedside. He took a small stool and sat down in front of her bed, staring intently at the person on the bed.
Xu Erniang glanced at it, shook her head, and left.
"Boss, I don't think this girl is an ordinary person. Would it be okay to keep her here?"
Xu Erniang looked at Bai Jiao with some worry and asked. Although she could fulfill any request Ji Jin made, she could never agree to anything that would harm the stronghold.
Bai Jiao said, "It's alright, I'm here. I'll talk to her."
Xu Erniang nodded, seeing that her eldest brother understood, and said nothing more.
The people in Shangjun searched for several days, but found nothing.
The atmosphere around Jiang Yu grew increasingly tense, and no one dared to provoke him.
He looked at the broken silver in his hand, and his guess was finally confirmed.
When I closed my eyes and opened them again, there was no emotion in them.
"Go and catch them."
His voice was as cold as he was.
Jiang Ming's expression turned solemn as he led his men along.
There was no one inside the Jiang residence.
Jiang Yu arrived outside the city, where Ahua was waiting for them.
His gaze towards Ahua held none of the affection he once had, only coldness remained. "Those two are your people, aren't they!"
Ahua closed her eyes, her voice a little hoarse. She was no exception to Jiang Yu's suspicions about her.
"I didn't mean to hurt Anuan, but... I didn't expect it to end like this. If I had the choice again, I think I would still do the same thing."
Jiang Yu didn't say anything more; the facts were already clear.
He drew his longsword from his waist and looked at him expressionlessly.
When Qingqing and the others arrived, they saw the two staring at each other.
"Sister Ahua, did you really do this? Why?"
Ahua glanced at them, her eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and complex emotions, but these feelings vanished without a trace.
Her voice lacked its usual gentleness. "It's just a difference in perspective."
She took one last look at Jiang Yu and promised, "I will find him."
Having said that, he decided not to linger with them any longer and prepared to leave on horseback, with Jiang Yu following closely behind.
Seeing that Jiang Yu was about to catch up with Ahua, Qingqing was at a loss. She hoped that Jiang Yu could catch her, but she also hoped that Ahua could escape. Perhaps the only thing she could do now was not to get involved in their affairs.
Although she felt bad for Ah Nuan, she really had no other choice.
She didn't want anything to happen to anyone; how did they end up like this?
Jiang Yu struck the man to the ground with a palm strike, and just as he was about to step forward, several arrows shot out from the forest.
Jiang Yu dodged, and a group of people in the forest quickly arrived at Ahua's side, protecting her in the middle.
