Yunwei looked at Ping'er running around outside, and didn't want to cause trouble to others, "Okay, you can rest for a while, and I'll go talk to Aunt Xin."

"Ah."

After collecting the medicine bowl, Gu Changling meditated, and Yunwei went to the yard to say goodbye to Aunt Xin.

Aunt Xin was Uncle Cao's wife. They lived in a remote village. When her son and daughter-in-law returned to their parents' home, they were robbed by bandits from Feicui Mountain and died. She left only a two-year-old grandson, Ping'er, who depended on Uncle Cao for fishing. Pulling.

When she heard that the two of them were leaving, Aunt Xin was surprised: "Your husband is so seriously injured, how can he leave? Miss Ali, please advise your husband to recuperate for two more days?"

Ah Li was the pseudonym Yunwei randomly thought of when she saw Li Zi.

She smiled and said: "It's okay, his body needs a better doctor. We plan to go to the county to find a doctor, so don't worry, Aunt Xin."

After saying this, Aunt Xin didn't stay. After all, she couldn't get better treatment here, only some simple medicine for injuries.

"Okay, it's a long way to the county seat. I'll ask Lao Cao to borrow a donkey cart to take you there."

"Well, thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you. Please help me keep an eye on Ping'er. I'll go to the lake and call Lao Cao."

Lao Cao is a fisherman and travels back and forth fishing in this area, so he lives in a more remote area. Aunt Xin is older and cannot go looking for her with Ping'er in her arms.

Yunwei hummed, hugged Ping'er and played at the door of the kitchen, and then prepared lunch by herself.

Aunt Xin's family was poor. Before Yunwei came, eating rice was a luxury.

At this time, the rice in the rice vat and the meat in the window were bought by Yunwei after asking Uncle Cao to pawn the bracelet for 50 taels.

The promised 100 taels were really hard to come by now, because Gu Changling's wallet was washed away.

The hairpin and earrings on my head were all washed away in the water, except for the jade bracelet on my hand.

Her bracelet was worth at least 80 taels, but the pawnshop bullied Uncle Cao into not knowing the goods and deliberately lowered the price.

Only 50 taels were given.

Yun Wei didn't say much. At the critical moment, she could only act on emergency measures. If they went back to start a fight, it would be detrimental to them.

We can only wait until they are safe before sending someone back to deliver the money.

When Gu Changling came out after meditating, Yunwei was busy in the kitchen, lighting the fire and shouting, "Ping'er, just sit in the yard and don't run around. Can Aunt Li make meatballs for you?"

Ping'er sat obediently on the small bench and gnawed on a pear, "Well, okay, Aunt Li's cooking is delicious, and Ping'er likes it."

"Ping'er is so obedient. Can I reward you with one more meatball later?"

Ping'er smiled and said hello repeatedly.

Gu Changling stood in the courtyard, looking at the busy figures in the kitchen, a little lost.

"Uncle, get up and eat pears, they are so sweet."

When Ping'er saw Gu Changling, she ran over with short legs and handed over the pear she had chewed.

Gu Changling knelt down and touched his head, "Uncle won't eat, so give it to Ping'er."

Ping'er said "oh" and ran to sit on the small bench again, very well-behaved.

Yun Wei poked her head out with a spatula in her hand, "Didn't I tell you to rest more?"

Gu Changling looked at her with a cloth scarf on her head, wearing Aunt Xin's gray dark blue coarse cloth skirt, and an apron tied around her waist. Only her eyes were bright and lively, even more so than the scorching sun.

He stood up and said, "I don't care about this for a while. You can cook and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"Oh, okay, Ping'er is very good. You don't need to hold him. Just stay with him and stop him from running outside."

"Ah."

Yunwei then concentrated on cooking.

She was surprisingly skilled at chopping vegetables, lighting fires, and cooking rice.

The smoke was curling up, and the smell of rice came. There were children running in the yard, and she was busy in the kitchen. At this sudden moment, Gu Changling felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility.

Suddenly I really want to be like this, peaceful forever...

When Aunt Xin came back, Yunwei had already sat down with three dishes and one soup, and was playing in the house with Ping'er in her arms.

Uncle Cao pulled the borrowed donkey cart and tied it to the door.

After dinner, Yunwei and Gu Changling said goodbye. Aunt Xin took all the unused medicine with them. There was nothing delicious at home, so she could only simply prepare water bags for the two of them, and then took a few Pears are used as dry food.

Yunwei took it, took Aunt Xin's hand and thanked her sweetly.

Before leaving, Gu Changling told Aunt Xin to erase all traces of their stay and burn the used gauze.

Aunt Xin understood, nodded repeatedly, and told Lao Cao to send them to the county seat.

Yunwei climbed onto the donkey cart and waved to Ping'er and Aunt Xin.

Gu Changling sat next to her and waved with her.

Looking further away, Aunt Xin's figure quickly disappeared, leaving only the green mountains and green trees around her.

The mountain road was bumpy, and the donkey cart didn't even have a guardrail. Uncle Cao didn't know what it ran over and almost knocked Yun Wei off.

Uncle Cao apologized, "Although this road is difficult, it's fast. I'll try to be steady. Young man, hold your wife in your arms. I'm going to speed up ahead. Don't knock your wife down."

Yunwei smiled and said no, no, she just didn't do it well.

Uncle Cao smiled and said, "Why, you are so embarrassed. I sit in front and can't see you."

Yunwei still wanted to explain, but Gu Changling had already lifted her over.

Really, he just pinched her with both hands and lifted her into his arms, "Sit on my side and be steady."

Yunwei was shocked, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not sitting next to you, I'm sitting in your arms."

He actually put her between his legs, with her back against his chest,

Yun Wei couldn't adapt to it, and just as she struggled, she heard him groan.

"What's wrong? Did I touch your wound?"

Gu Changling's tone was very weak, "Well, just don't move."

Yunwei: "I..."

"drive!"

As expected, Uncle Cao sped up, and the bumpy donkey cart made Gu Changling look unhappy.

Thinking that his injuries must be more uncomfortable than hers, Yunwei didn't dare to move and cause trouble to others, so she sat with her knees in her arms.

He stretched out his arm from behind, put his arm around her waist, and grabbed the front of the scooter with his other hand.

It was tight and never pushed her out again.

There was no perfect connection between the two, but Yun Wei felt that his breath was all around her. Even the strong smell of medicine couldn't cover it up, a special kind of breath that made people blush...

Gu Changling looked at the tips of her ears that were slowly turning red, and suddenly felt that the wound was no longer so painful, and he was even in the mood to see the fleeting scenery.

The path Uncle Cao took was fast, and before long the two of them arrived at the county seat.

They had no way to lead and were not allowed to enter the city.

Fortunately, Uncle Cao helped, gave the gatekeeper some money, and faked one for them.

With the guide, the inns along the way dare to accept them.

After bidding farewell to Uncle Cao, Gu Changling watched the officers and soldiers patrolling on the street. He hurriedly pulled Yunwei and hid behind a big tree and said, "You can't contact the local government. If you contact the government, although you can get help, you will be exposed." Your position may not be safe."

Gu Changling had an intuition that someone behind the scenes wanted to snatch her away. Although he didn't know the reason, he had to protect her during this period.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's buy some things, buy a carriage, and go to Lin'an by ourselves."
