Chapter 559 Old man, why are you here?
Chapter 559 Old man, why are you here?
After about half an hour, the old man opened his eyes and said to Yao Qingnian on the bed: "Girl, open your eyes!"
Yao Qingnian suddenly opened her eyes slowly. She felt like she had had a very long dream. When she saw the old man sitting next to her, he paused for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "Old man, why did you come all the way here? And you look like a beggar."
This old man with a white beard was exactly the fortune-telling Taoist priest that Yao Qingnian met in Anding County. She was a little confused. Why was he here? Wasn’t he in Anding County?
"Hey! I just saved you and you're making fun of me!" said the old man angrily.
"I'm not making fun of you. You look like one, haha. I have money this time, so I'll give it to you along with the money you paid me for fortune-telling last time."
"That's more like it. Okay, if you don't need anything else, I'll leave first. I have some important things to take care of. I've put the stone for you. It can keep you safe at the critical moment."
"Thank you, Master. When I return, I will definitely visit you at Jingguo Temple."
"It doesn't matter to me whether you come to visit me or not, but please remember to pay the incense money."
"No problem, come, these are for you, take them." Yao Qingnian didn't have any good things left, so he took some food and some things he thought he could use from the space and gave them to him, and also gave him some silver.
Looking at the things she took out, the old man was a little disdainful, but he still packed them all up: "You really think I'm a beggar! You just give me so many things to get rid of me."
"Don't give them back to me, they are all good things." The old man was disgusted, and the little bit of emotion he had just felt was wiped out.
"There's no reason to take back something you gave to someone. I even saved your life! Okay, I'm leaving!" After saying that, the old man ran away quickly.
Yao Qingnian looked at his fleeing back, shook her head with a somewhat amusing look, and then she caught a glimpse of the silver lying there quietly. He had taken away everything except this bag of silver. It seemed that he had left it there on purpose. She would donate it to Jingguo Temple next time she went back.
Duke Chen and others stood aside, watching them quietly. Only after the old man left did they come to their senses.
"Qing Nian, do you know that old man?"
"I know him. He told my fortune before in Anding County and it was pretty accurate. I don't know why he came to Beijing this time." Yao Qingnian sat up.
"Oh, at first I thought he was a liar, but I didn't expect he was actually an hermit who really cured you. Thanks to your grandmother, otherwise I might have driven him away. It's such a blessing!" Old Duke Chen was glad that he did not drive him away, otherwise he would not know when his granddaughter would wake up.
"Hmm, how long have I been sleeping?"
"It's been more than half a month. I'm so worried. Doctor Han can't do anything. If you don't wake up, it will take until the New Year."
"What, you lay there for so long?"
When Yao Qingnian heard Shan Wei and the others' calls, she came out of the space and then fainted. She was unconscious for more than half a month. In fact, it was not that she didn't want to get up, but that she couldn't get up. She had a dream in which she was trapped in a room and couldn't get out. Later, she accidentally opened a door and returned to the modern world through that door, back to where she used to live. But like a lonely soul wandering aimlessly, she gradually lost her way, walked farther and farther, and couldn't go back. Suddenly, it seemed that something was guiding her forward, and then she woke up.
"Yeah, more than half a month."
"By the way, Master of Zi Ye Pavilion, how is he?" I was feeling weak all over at the time and had no time to check on him, so I didn't know how Lu Huaijin was doing.
"You are such a heartless little thing. You went looking for your husband as soon as you woke up, without even asking if we were okay! Humph!"
"You already know everything, no way, he risked his life to save me, so it's not too much to say a few words of concern, right? Hehe, but you are the ones I should thank the most."
"Okay, okay, it's not too much. That kid has been staying by your side these days. He has something to do today. He should come over when he's done."
Several people were talking and laughing. When Chen Shuhua and the others heard that she had woken up, they all rushed over. They were relieved to see that she had returned to her normal state.
"Master, you're finally okay! I've been so tired in the past half month! Look at me, I've lost weight. I've read all the medical books to treat you. If you don't wake up, I'll go blind." Han Junze saw that she got up intact and returned to her usual self. He went forward to feel her pulse and found that she was really okay.
"thank you all."
Looking at the group of people who cared about her, Yao Qingnian was deeply moved.
When Lu Huaijin heard that Yao Qingnian had woken up, he dropped what he was doing without saying a word and ran towards the Duke's Mansion.
Seeing him coming, everyone consciously retreated. They all saw how Lu Huaijin carefully accompanied and took care of Yao Qingnian these days. They thought that this man was a good one and someone worthy of trust.
Lu Huaijin looked at Yao Qingnian who had woken up, walked up to her and hugged her tightly, saying softly: "Madam, you are finally awake."
"Well, I'm fine. You hugged me too tight and I couldn't breathe..." Yao Qingnian felt his warm and familiar embrace and felt a little reluctant, but she still spoke. She was afraid that she would not be able to breathe because he was holding her too tightly.
Lu Huaijin then let her go: "From now on, don't take risks alone. I was scared that day."
"Yeah, yeah, no, I won't make you worry anymore. There was such a big fire that day, and you just rushed in like that. Are you trying to save your life?"
"If anything happens to you, how can I live in peace?"
"Pah, pah, pah, what could possibly happen to me? Look, I'm standing here perfectly fine. It was all because I underestimated my enemy that day. I thought that Shen Youran alone wouldn't be able to cause any big waves, but who knew that she actually found helpers? Do you know who that person is? It turned out to be the famous Master Kong Chen. He was the one who manipulated Shen Youran from behind and cast the Lover's Spell on King Rui. How are they doing now? Have they been caught?"
"She ran away. However, I have found someone who saved Shen Youran. Shen Youran is now in a farm outside the city. My people are watching her."
"You let her run away. You knew she was at the farm, why didn't you catch her?"
"I want to wait for you to wake up and deal with her myself."
"In that case, take me there!"
"Don't worry, she can't run away. It's not too late to talk about it after you recover." Lu Huaijin hesitated for a while and then said, "I also discovered something."
