Chapter 128 She is Really Scared
Sigh... Tao Qiuyi was choked and stared at him speechlessly, "Don't try to change the subject. I'm going to ask you what you're laughing at first, and you just answer honestly."

"I'm smiling because I find it pleasing to watch you instruct Xiao Huai and Li Zi to do things." Wei Jingyuan answered honestly.

Tao Qiuyi blinked in surprise and looked at him with an expression that said, "Are you sick?"

For some reason, Wei Jingyuan understood the expression on her face and frowned as he asked, "Are you thinking I'm sick?"

"If you weren't sick, would you find it pleasing to see me ordering your brothers and sisters to work?" Tao Qiuyi felt that it was abnormal for him to have such thoughts.

Normally, if you see your younger brother or sister being ordered to do something, even if you are furious, you will definitely not find it pleasant to watch.

So, he is not normal.

Taking off the cloth bag that was slung across his body, Tao Qiuyi first put the wrapped century-old ginseng in it, then took out a paper bag containing ten large meat buns and put it on the table.

He rummaged around again, pulled out a pill, and handed it to Wei Jingyuan, "Take it."

Wei Jingyuan took the pill and swallowed it without even looking at it.

"You swallowed the pill without even asking what disease it was for?" Tao Qiu had seen many careless people, but he had never seen anyone as careless as him.

He swallowed it too quickly, what if it was poison?

"I will swallow what you give me even if it is poison." After saying this, Wei Jingyuan was stunned.

Tao Qiuyi's expression changed and her heartbeat accelerated for no reason. This had never happened before, making her feel inexplicably nervous and uncomfortable.

"I'll go see if Lizi has finished decocting the medicine." After saying this, Tao Qiuyi stood up and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.

In just a blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from the room. After being stunned for a moment, Wei Jingyuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the door. Her speed... was it too fast?
Even when his leg was not injured, he could not have such speed as hers.

She is incredibly strong, and now she is fast... How many secrets does she hide?

He had previously suspected her to be a spy sent by the secret service, but the longer they spent together, the less certain he became. Captain Wen's arrival proved that she was not a spy, and she even helped Captain Wen catch the traitor.

It saved the country a huge loss.

At the same time, in the town’s hospital.

The inpatient department is in the backyard of the hospital. In a ward that was supposed to accommodate four people, there are now only three people living in it, two of whom are mother and daughter, Wang Chunjuan and Huang Lingyu.

Wang Chunjuan lay listlessly on the hospital bed, covered with a quilt provided by the hospital. She still felt cold and looked at Huang Lingyu who was putting on a cotton coat on the bed next to her.

"Yu'er, what are you doing?" Wang Chunjuan asked with difficulty. Her injuries were quite serious. The doctor said that in addition to skin injuries, one of her ribs was broken due to external force.

There is no specific medicine to treat bone fractures, and you must lie in bed and rest for a while.

Maybe it was because of her broken ribs, she felt a dull pain in her heart when she spoke.

"Get dressed, leave the hospital and go back to the village." Huang Lingyu's tone was a little anxious. Looking back at Wang Chunjuan still lying there, he frowned and said, "Don't lie down anymore. Get up and pack your things."

Wang Chunjuan felt pain in her heart even when lying down, let alone moving. It was even more impossible to ask her to get up and pack her things quickly.

These past few days, she and her daughter were in the same hospital room. Her daughter knew how badly she was injured, so why did she ask her to get up and pack her things? Wang Chunjuan felt that she must have misheard because of the pain in her heart. Yes, she must have misheard. Wang Chunjuan asked, "Yu'er, what did you just say?"

"I told you to get up quickly and pack your things. We will be discharged from the hospital and return to the village today." Huang Lingyu repeated, not realizing that there was anything wrong with what he said.

She didn't hear it wrong. Her daughter really asked her to get up quickly and go back to the village with her. Wang Chunjuan felt the pain in her heart worsen.

Closing her eyes, Wang Chunjuan said, "Yu'er, my injury..."

"Your injury has been healing for so many days, it should be healed by now." Huang Lingyu interrupted her, her tone full of complaints, "I asked you to get up and move around a few days ago, but you didn't listen and insisted on lying down the whole time."

"You're in pain all the time because you just lie there and refuse to move. If you'd listened to me, you might have been discharged today."

Wang Chunjuan looked at Huang Lingyu in disbelief, as if she had never dreamed that she would say such words.

Huang Lingyu didn't have time to care about her at the moment. She quickly put on her cotton coat, then her cotton pants, and then her socks...

Where are her socks? She couldn't find her socks.

Huang Lingyu was rummaging around on the hospital bed.

Seeing her daughter's anxious look, Wang Chunjuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Yu'er, your injury..."

"My injury has been healed for a few days, and I'm fine now." Huang Lingyu interrupted Wang Chunjuan and urged impatiently, "Don't lie down anymore, get up quickly and pack your things, otherwise it will be dark by the time we are discharged from the hospital."

Huang Lingyu was afraid when he went out in broad daylight. He couldn't see the direction because of the heavy fog and was robbed of his money and ticket and beaten by a robber.

If she was robbed and beaten during the day, wouldn't it be even worse at night... She didn't dare to imagine it, let alone walk at night.

"Yu'er, can we not go back to the village today?" After Wang Chunjuan asked this, she felt her heart hurt more than before. She gently stroked her heart with both hands to relieve the pain.

"No." Huang Lingyu refused without a second thought. He paused, threw the pillow back onto the bed, and turned to look at Wang Chunjuan. "Why don't you go back to the village today?"

Wang Chunjuan closed her eyes and hesitated for a moment before she spoke with difficulty, "I'm afraid we'll run into those people who robbed us again."

She was really scared.

When those people showed up, she cursed them without restraint. Now thinking about it, she really asked for trouble. She wasn't afraid when her money and tickets were stolen, nor was she afraid when she was beaten and kicked. She even bravely protected her daughter.

A few days after the incident, she became more and more scared the more she thought about it.

Huang Lingyu was also afraid when she heard about those people. They beat them without mercy. If Wang Chunjuan hadn't protected her, she would have been seriously injured.

"Don't be afraid, we can hire an ox cart or a horse carriage to go back, and then we won't meet those people again." Although he said so, Huang Lingyu was still unsure.

Those people appeared suddenly, and it's hard to say when they will appear again.

"What should we do if those guys show up again and try to rob us?" Wang Chunjuan was seriously injured and was more afraid of those guys than Huang Lingyu.

"There's no such thing as a one-time event." Huang Lingyu scolded firmly. Seeing that Wang Chunjuan's face was really bad, she softened her voice and said, "Mom, those people are obviously robbing passers-by. They won't stay in one place to rob people all the time."
