Chapter 18 Thank you
Chapter 18 Thank you
Li Mulan didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Sister, you can walk sideways with me."
Qingyu laughed, "Yes, sister is benefiting from our Xiaojiu."
The two people were chatting and laughing in the carriage, but Chu Jie was very quiet and kept paying attention to the movements outside.
Huo Yuanruo was too lazy to argue with this Tiger Brother, so he walked up to the unconscious middle-aged man and asked, "What happened to him?"
The young man on the ground didn't expect that this young man with low-key clothes but overwhelming aura would take the initiative to ask them. He was stunned at first, and then crawled to the other's feet as if he had found a life-saving straw, "Young man, please save my father, my father...he needs a doctor, please, please."
Several men nearby also knelt down and said, "Please be kind and find a doctor."
Huo Yuanruo looked at the skinny boy at his feet and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Seeing him kneeling at his feet, he felt annoyed and frowned, "Why are you kneeling when you get up and talk? You are a real man, why are your knees so weak?"
The boy did not stand up. At this moment, he only cared about his father and had no backbone at all. "Please, save my father."
Huo Yuanruo was helpless and shouted at the carriage in dissatisfaction, "Little Master."
Li Mulan opened the carriage curtain, and her red dress was particularly eye-catching. Everyone outside lowered their heads, not daring to look up, for fear of offending the noble. In fact, Li Mulan and her friends were already very low-key, and even the carriage they chose was an extremely ordinary one, but because of Huo Yuanruo's "bullying" just now, their status was naturally raised.
The boy kneeling on the ground secretly looked up at the girl. He was first amazed, then surprised, and then incredulous. He murmured, "Sister?"
An older man nearby looked up when he heard this, also with a look of shock on his face, but then lowered his head. When the boy was about to speak again, he covered his mouth and held his head down.
Although the sound was small and the movement was light, it did not attract the attention of others, but this did not include Li Mulan and the other two.
Qingyu and Huo Yuanruo were a little confused. Li Mulan's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't show it on her face.
When she walked up to the unconscious man, she found that he was a thin middle-aged man with chapped lips and a gray face, but it did not affect his handsome features. In fact, Li Mulan thought he looked familiar. The young man was trembling slightly and lowering his head. If you look closely, you can see that he has tears in his eyes and his eyes are red.
Li Mulan pretended to be indifferent and squatted down, reaching out to feel the pulse of the unconscious man. Malnutrition, excessive fatigue, years of worrying and worrying, depression in the heart...
"Yuanyuan, silver needle."
Huo Yuanruo immediately went to the carriage to get something. Qingyu had already noticed it and handed a small bag to Huo Yuanruo.
Li Mulan looked serious. She took out a silver needle and inserted it into several acupuncture points on the man.
Soon, the unconscious man showed signs of waking up. His eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the girl in red in front of him, he was a little unbelievable, and his hoarse voice rang out, "Lan'er?"
The boy next to him suddenly crawled to his father's side, blocking his father's sight, "Dad, you're awake? That's great, you're really awake."
The man named Li Da was blocked from view by his son. He wanted to get up anxiously, but was held by his son.
The boy yelled, "Dad!"
Li Da was awakened by the word "Dad" and noticed the current situation. His eyes gradually became clear, "What's wrong with me?"
"Brother, you overworked and fainted. Thanks to the two "noble men" who saved you." A middle-aged man next to him, who was also wearing patched clothes, stepped forward to support his eldest brother, and the word "noble men" was particularly clear to him.
Li Da slowly stood up and looked at Huo Yuanruo and Li Mulan with gratitude. Especially when his eyes swept over Li Mulan, his lips trembled a little, and his eyes turned red when he saw the scar at the corner of her eye. But that was only for a moment. He quickly lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. He was helped up by his son and bowed slightly, "Thank you two for saving my life. Li Da has nothing to repay you, so I can only kowtow to you..." He seemed to have thought of something and immediately changed his words, "I am of low status, but my whole family will pray for you. I hope you will be safe and healthy in the future."
Li Mulan did not speak. She felt very upset and needed to calm herself down. She took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it over, "Uncle, you need to take good care of your body. Take this medicine back and take it every morning and evening." Then she felt that it was not enough, so she took out two more bottles and handed them over.
Li Da took it with trembling hands, his voice choked with sobs, "Thank you very much, sir."
Looking at his appearance, Li Mulan felt a little irritated for no reason, "Yuanyuan, let's go."
Huo Yuanruo looked at these ragged men thoughtfully. Although they were in a miserable situation, their backs were straight and from their words, it could be seen that they were scholars. Moreover...
"Still not leaving?"
"Oh, here we come."
Li Mulan got on the carriage with mixed feelings. Huo Yuanruo quickly mounted his horse and slowly left.
The group of people didn't start to talk in low voices until Li Mulan and others completely disappeared from the street, and their comments were nothing more than "I don't know where this noble person came from".
Brother Hu, who had just suffered a setback, spat, glanced at the Li family with a warning, and directly snatched the porcelain bottle from Li Da's hand.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was inside, the small bottle containing the medicine was no ordinary item. "Haha, you really have a lot of money." After saying that, he stuffed the porcelain bottle into his arms and looked at Li Da fiercely, "Behave yourself and stop causing trouble for me. Next time, you won't be so lucky."
The boy wanted to step forward to grab it back, but was held back by Li Da. “Xi’er.” There was an obvious warning in Yu’s tone.
Li Xi felt very aggrieved. He looked at Brother Hu's back with red eyes, and his clenched fists were shaking.
Li Da sighed and patted his son on the back. "Let's talk about it when we get home. Your grandfather must be worried."
Li Xi wiped his tears hastily and responded in a muffled voice, "I know, Dad."
The other members of the Li family looked at each other and stopped talking. Yes, let’s talk about it when we get home.
Li Mulan and her friends stayed in the only inn in Xiangyun City. She was in a bad mood and went back to her room to rest without having much dinner.
Over the years, she often had a dream about the situation when she first came into this world, the icy cold river water, the unbearable feeling of suffocation, and the voices of "Lan'er" and "Sister".
Thinking of what my master said before I set out, I felt even more irritated.
