Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

When Li Yuan came to call Wei Qiqi for the first time, Wei Qiqi said vaguely that he would get up soon and asked them to go out and do their work first.

He waited outside the door for a while, but heard no sound from inside, and became suspicious.

But Qiniang often stayed in bed more than once or twice, so Li Yuan still took people out to do things.

The place they came to was a remote town under the management of Yizhou, which was the closest to Jiguan Mountain.

It’s neither backward nor prosperous, just right.

Li Yuan led his men to disperse. It was impossible for them to buy everything they wanted to buy all at once, so they could only transport the things out in a dispersed manner.

But when I went out on the street today, I discovered a problem.

It doesn't make sense that all the good shops in this good location are closed.

Under normal circumstances, one day of closing means one day of loss. Even if the boss is not around, the waiters and errand boys will be there, so the store can always stay open.

Nowadays, all the shops with good business are closed, only a few small shops that are still doing well and can provide a basic living are open for business.

And because of the closure of large stores, these small stores are doing pretty good business.

Sure enough, not long after, his people came back one after another, and most of them said that they had to close the shop for a few days because of family matters.

What's strange is that all these shops closed only one or two days apart. The best shops in the best locations were closed within just one or two days. It's not normal no matter how you think about it.

"Go check and see if there is any way to pry some people open their mouths. There are always some people who know some obscure things."

Li Yuan paused, and then said, "Two more people, go check where the bosses are, maybe we can find them faster."

The people under him are all from the military and they are extremely efficient.

Li Yuan was a little worried, so he went back to the inn to talk about this matter with Wei Qiqi.

But when he knocked on the door, there was no sound from inside. Li Yuan knocked harder and harder, until he finally spoke: "Qiniang!"

"Qiniang!"

After a long period of silence, Li Yuan knew that something must have happened to Wei Qiqi.

He kicked the door open, breaking the latch that was blocking the energy and revealing the scene inside.

Wei Qiqi was seen lying on the ground in a mess, with a flushed face and sweat on his forehead.

Li Yuan picked up Wei Qiqi and quickly placed her on the bed, then called out loudly for the waiter.

His voice was a little urgent, and there was no doubt in the waiter's voice that something had happened in the room.

But he was told to call a doctor because someone here had a fever and was unconscious.

The waiter was just about to say that their inn did not have the practice of calling a doctor for guests when he was startled by Li Yuan's cold gaze.

Thinking there weren't many people here, I had to agree.

Li Yuan turned around and closed the door, poured some cold water from the kettle and came to Wei Qiqi.

When the waiter rushed over with the doctor, Li Yuan had already changed the towel on Wei Qiqi's forehead several times with ice water.

Seeing that Wei Qiqi was wearing the same clothes she had worn yesterday, Li Yuan made several guesses, but none of them were good ideas.

You can only do what you can do based on your own abilities.

The doctor came quickly and took my pulse right away.

Not long after, she put down her hand, bowed to Li Yuan and said, "Don't worry, sir. This lady just has a fever caused by a common cold. There is nothing to be afraid of. Just wait for her to drink the medicine for three to five days, and she will be fine."

"Three to five days. Normally, a fever doesn't last that long." Li Yuan frowned. This was not what he thought.

"That's right, sir. This lady is suffering from a common cold, but she is different from others. If others need two days, she needs five days."

Li Yuan looked at the doctor. When he had no expression, the hostility that unconsciously emanated from his face was frightening.

The doctor just felt that he had seen an extraordinary person today. This kind of person was obviously rich or noble, so he didn't dare to say anything careless.

He knelt down immediately and said, "Sir, you have a close relationship with this lady, so you should know that this lady has been taking medicine for a long time, which has seriously damaged her health. If she has any illness, her symptoms will be more than half of those of an ordinary person."

Li Yuan's heart sank suddenly.

This is the third person who thinks so.

He often read medical books in the military camp, thinking about how to take care of Qinniang's health.

He had already taken the patient's pulse and guessed that it was a fever and a cold, and what the doctor said was correct.

I just thought that Qi Niang had a special body, so I found someone else to see what was going on.

as predicted.

The result was just as he expected.

By the time the medicine was ready, Wei Qiqi hadn't woken up yet.

Li Yuan sat beside Wei Qiqi's bed, with his legs slightly apart and his elbows resting on them.

This is a very relaxed and comfortable posture, which is how Wei Qiqi sits occasionally.

He had been observing Qiniang for so long that he had learned these little movements unconsciously.

Wei Qiqi woke up around noon and saw a head of thick long hair. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Li Yuan.

Her movement woke Li Yuan up, and Li Yuan's sleep was not deep.

Seeing her wake up, Li Yuan stood up and took the teapot on the table, which contained warm Chinese medicine.

He took the medicine but didn't hand it to her. Instead, he sat in the same position as before, stirred it spoonful by spoonful, and then scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Wei Qiqi.

"I'll take my time. My mouth felt bitter when I first woke up." Wei Qiqi was quite afraid of taking medicine.

I was scared when I first learned about capsules, let alone these real bitter medicines.

Her voice was a little hoarse. If she spoke softly, she couldn't speak clearly, but if she spoke loudly, her tone would sound fierce.

She felt that her voice sounded fierce and she paid special attention to Li Yuan's expression, trying to explain to him that she was not fierce to him.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of her had his eyelids drooped slightly, covering his pupils, and there was no smile on his face. Even when she spoke, she would ask a question before speaking.

Up to now, Li Yuan has not spoken a word to her.

The spoon was handed to her. Wei Qiqi saw that Li Yuan didn't say anything but his hands moved very skillfully, which made it clear that he wanted her to drink it.

The pungent and strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine permeated the air.

She refused to drink, so Li Yuan just held it there. In the end, Wei Qiqi gritted her teeth and took a big gulp.

The overbearing and disgusting smell wafted out as soon as she took her mouth. Li Yuan kept looking at her, making it impossible for her to swallow it or spit it out.

Wei Qiqi drank the medicine one gulp after another until she finished it. "You'll be fine once you finish the medicine."

With this idea in mind, Wei Qiqi finally replaced all the medicines.

Her body was sticky from sweating after a good night's sleep, and Li Yuan's Chinese medicine was pungent. The various smells mixed together to form an indescribable smell.

But Xiaobao still didn't talk to her.

Li Yuan had just put everything back in place when there was a noise outside. Someone whispered something, and then Li Yuan stood up and went out.

Wei Qiqi heard a voice vaguely.

"I heard that in this city..."

"They said there might be chaos..."
