Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 107 Li Bo

Poison Doctor Valley.

"At that time, I had only one thought, which was to send the young lady back, no matter what means," Jingzhen said with emotion.

Little Star laid the recliner flat for the young lady to lie on: "Wait a minute, I'll go out and find someone to take us there."

After settling the young lady, Xiao Xingxing felt a little confused. She thought for a while, ran to the old lady's bedroom, and found a box. When she opened the box, she found a lot of banknotes, some small change, jewelry and so on. It seemed that the old lady had made a lot of money over the years, but it turned out that they didn't have a penny.

Xiao Xingxing put the banknotes in her arms, put the change in her purse, and then ran out. Without even looking at the people struggling in the room, she went straight out the back door. It was still some time before dawn, so she should be able to make it in time.

There were no pedestrians on the streets outside, but many houses still had lights on, and many families were still staying up to celebrate the New Year. There was moonlight tonight, shining on the deserted ground. Little Star did not look back, and walked straight to the edge of the city. When he met a patrol team on the way, he hid. He walked for about half an hour and came to a dilapidated little house.

The hut looked like a one-room house, with walls made of mud bricks and a thatched roof. Little Star walked up to it and knocked on the door.

The knock on the door woke up the people who were sleeping in the room. Someone got up and opened the door. When he saw that it was her, he didn't say anything and welcomed her in. This was an old man with gray hair who looked to be about fifty years old. He lit the oil lamp and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter, little Xingxing, that makes you so anxious?"

Little Star said without further ado: "Can you drive a carriage? If not, help me find someone who can."

"I can. Shall we leave now?" The old man did not ask anything else. If he left now, he would have to put on thick clothes quickly as it was very cold outside.

"Leave now."

The old man picked up the big cotton jacket on the bed and put it on, then blew out the oil lamp. The two men walked out, locked the door, and walked back together.

I have to say here that this old man had just come to the capital that year. One day, Xiao Xingxing was strolling in the capital and saw this old man kneeling in front of a clinic, begging the doctor to save his grandson's life.

Little Star found out that this man also had a miserable life. His family originally owned several acres of land, but unfortunately his son and daughter-in-law fell ill and died one after another, leaving him a grandson. However, the grandson was also weak and fell ill every other day. He sold his land to keep his grandson alive until now. He usually worked as a hired worker for a wealthy family nearby to support two people. This time his grandson was seriously ill, and he dared not move. He could only run to a nearby clinic to ask a doctor to go to his house to see the patient.

Doctors in this dynasty had a very high status and had to pay in person when they went out to see patients. He had no money on hand, so he could only kneel down and beg.

Little Xingxing was moved with compassion. She squatted down and said to the man that if he believed her, he should take her back and she could save his grandson.

This man had no other choice but to hear that someone could save his grandson. He got up and took her to the place she had just been to. His grandson was lying on the bed, dying.

Xiao Xingxing could tell that the child had a serious heart disease without taking his pulse. She took out the silver needle she carried with her, pulled open his clothes on his chest, and quickly inserted the needle around his heart. If it was too late, the child would not be able to be saved.

The child gradually regained consciousness and his breathing became steady. She took out another pill from her purse and asked the man to dissolve it in warm water and feed it to him. However, he was too weak and could not swallow the pill.

The man knelt down and kowtowed happily, calling him benefactor. Only then did Xiao Xingxing find out that his last name was Li.

Later, Xiao Xingxing would come here every once in a while to give the child injections and bring her medicine. She frankly admitted that the child would not live past the age of 18 and asked Uncle Li to be mentally prepared.

Uncle Li is a sensible man. He said that he is satisfied that his grandson has been with him for so many years. He now only cherishes the days with his grandson. As for what will happen in the future, he can accept it.

Uncle Li's grandson passed away three years ago, leaving him alone. Xiao Xingxing would come to see him several times every year to take his pulse and regulate his body. He said: Xiao Xingxing, if there is any day when you can use Uncle Li, you are welcome. No matter what happens, Uncle Li will always believe in you.

Anyway, the two of them took about the same amount of time to get back to the house. The little girl in the corridor was still struggling in pain. Little Star ran to the young lady. The young lady opened her eyes and smiled when she saw that it was her: "Little Star, you're back!"

"Let's go home, back to the Poison Doctor Valley." Xiao Xingxing carried the young lady on his back, and they and Uncle Li came to the carriage shed. The carriage was neither big nor small, and its style was also very ordinary. It was the most ordinary kind. After all, they were not a particularly wealthy family.

He let the young lady sit against the carriage for a while and asked Uncle Li to watch her. Xiao Xingxing ran back and brought back two thick quilts to pad the carriage. He put the young lady in and sat her down. Then he went to the stable to lead the horses out and harnessed the carriage with Uncle Li. By this time, it was already dawn.

Little Star ran to the kitchen again, ignoring the people struggling on the floor, she took a big bundle, packed the snacks and steamed buns prepared for the New Year guests, and brought a big teapot filled with tea. Then she came back and put everything in the carriage.

Uncle Li drove the carriage out from the back door. There were no pedestrians on the street at that time. Xiao Xingxing locked the door from the inside, climbed to the top of the wall using the small ladder prepared in advance, pulled out the ladder and climbed out of the door, and then worked together with Uncle Li to push the ladder back over the top of the wall.
