Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

The three of them looked at each other but couldn't say a word.

Wei Qiqi rescued them from purgatory. Although they didn't know what would happen in the future, now, the three of them were filled with gratitude.

She asked the driver to drive to the house she had rented before. She had not given up the house yet. On the one hand, it was convenient for her to have a place to stay, and on the other hand, she did not plan to stay in the City Lord's Mansion forever.

No one had lived there for a long time. When I pushed the door open, I saw spider webs on the corners, making the place look desolate.

Wei Qiqi entered the yard, followed by three people.

"There are two rooms inside. You can decide how to sleep." He then pointed out the layout of the place to them.

"Most of the things are available, except for the kitchen supplies. Ye Yuanjiang, you can buy them later."

Wei Qiqi explained that the less than three taels of silver that she had left for Ye Yuanjiang was enough for them to eat and drink for a long time.

Thinking that they didn't have any clean clothes yet, he told Ye Yuanjiang about it as well.

"Master, what do we need to do?"

The one asking the question was Jiang Yuanfeng, and the other two people also had nervous expressions on their faces.

Of course they knew that after being bought, they would not be able to live a life of luxury in one yard.

"For now, take care of your health. I will tell you to do things when I gather enough people."

Wei Qiqi glanced around and made sure that she had missed nothing before she felt relieved.

"Ye Yuanjiang, I'll leave this to you. You can figure out how to handle it."

Ye Yuanjiang nodded after hearing this: "Okay, Master."

She left. The coachman, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, helped her into the carriage.

"So where are we going, lady?"

The driver asked outside the door.

"Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion." Wei Qiqi leaned on the armrest and rubbed her brows. She felt very uncomfortable thinking about the past again.

What's past is past forever, and for her, it is irreversible.

People don't need to waste time on things that are irreversible.

But the fear engraved in her bones still affected her, making her realize that she still had not escaped the shadow.

Wei Qiqi thought about this and couldn't help but laughed softly after a while.

Why get rid of the shadows?

The shadow made her who she was, became a part of her, and all she had to do was stop being afraid.

People from that era and time could no longer cause her any harm, and she was no longer a young child unable to protect herself.

After thinking it through, my mind became a little clearer, but I felt a little lethargic again.

The carriage rolled forward, and Wei Qiqi fell into past memories.

When she was about eight years old, her parents were in a car accident. Their property was seized by relatives who were not responsible for raising her and eventually sent her to an orphanage.

An eight-year-old child already has memories, and most adoptive parents would not choose a girl because she is so old.

The orphanage did not raise these children in vain. Because she was older, she worked with another boy of similar age. The two of them were responsible for taking care of the clothes, meals and hygiene of the entire orphanage.

later……

When the memory reached this point, the dream was jolted, Wei Qiqi’s hands that were supporting the handrail shifted, and the whole person fell forward.

The whole person is still trapped in memories, in a state of half confusion and half awake.

She felt someone catch her and prevent her from falling to the ground.

The thin figure was blurred in the half-open pupils, and Wei Qiqi felt it was somewhat familiar.

I couldn't help but say: "Shi Jialiang, you...where have you been, why are you..."

"Qiniang."

Li Yuan's young voice interrupted Wei Qiqi's words. She opened her pupils with great effort and looked at Li Yuan carefully with narrowed eyes, as if she had finally confirmed that he was not the person she thought he was.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiaobao."

Wei Qiqi collapsed on the ground, and Li Yuan hugged her upper body and helped her up.

"How come you fell asleep in the carriage? It's easy to fall out." Li Yuan said, picking up the cloak that Wei Qiqi had placed next to him.

"I don't know. I just fell asleep in a daze."

"You have a fever."

Li Yuan touched Wei Qiqi's forehead and his tone darkened.

"is it?"

Wei Qiqi felt nothing but cold.

She thought it was because of the snow.

"Qiniang, you are dreaming." Although Li Yuan asked with doubt, his tone was affirmative.

"Yeah, I dreamed about some old things."

Wei Qiqi's mind was still a little unclear. With the help of Li Yuan, she sat up and took a deep breath.

The whole person felt extremely tired.

The past.

Li Yuan chewed these four words again and again, then swallowed them and stored them in his mind.

But he was barely nineteen years old, so it must have happened in the past. How did it become a thing of the past?

"I'll help you back and call a doctor for you." Li Yuan said as he put his cloak on Wei Qiqi, and then took off his own cloak and wrapped it around Wei Qiqi.

The two of them braved the light snow and entered the villa.

With Li Yuan's help, Wei Qiqi took off her cumbersome cloak and coat and let her hair down.

Li Yuan tucked the quilt in for her before turning around to call a doctor.

Seeing his departing back, Wei Qiqi couldn't help but close her eyes.

When she dreamed of Shi Jialiang, Shi Jialiang was exactly the same age as Li Yuan.

It is possible to admit mistakes at once.

She seemed to have a real fever, and felt sticky and uncomfortable all over, but also very cold.

When Li Yuan entered the room, Wei Qiqi was already shivering from the cold.

He put the hot water pot that he had heated on the brazier before going out into the quilt, next to Wei Qiqi's feet.

Then he pulled down the curtains beside the bed, making sure that no one outside could see the figure inside, and then he let someone in.

The doctor felt the patient's pulse for a long time and spoke in a complicated tone after that.

"Madam, your illness is caused by depression and a cold, which has triggered your emergency." The doctor said while taking her pulse.

He touched it for a while before withdrawing his hand.

"This lady may have taken harmful drugs before, which caused damage to her health. But she is young and generally fine."

As he said this, he withdrew his hand, walked to the side and began to write.

"I have two prescriptions here. One is for treating colds and relieving depression, and the other is for recuperating. Take them separately. You can only use the recuperating one after the cold is cured."

The doctor explained in detail with a kind heart.

Li Yuan felt more and more depressed as he listened, and his expression did not look good.

After sending the doctor away, Li Yuan turned to look at the bed where Wei Qiqi was. His eyes were heavy and he couldn't see clearly what was inside for a moment.

There are obviously more secrets about Qiniang than he imagined.

He thought so.

His fingers rubbed the prescription he had just received reluctantly.

"cold…"

Wei Qiqi's mumbling brought him back to his senses. Li Yuan walked forward and drew open the curtain. Wei Qiqi curled up, her whole body wrapped in two layers of quilts. Except for her face and her long black hair, even the hand that had just taken his pulse was tucked inside.

Li Yuan went back to the room, took his own quilt and covered Wei Qiqi with it, then heated up his hot water bottle and prepared to place it next to Wei Qiqi.

Wipe the sweat off her forehead and use a towel to apply cold water to reduce her fever.

After a while, it was already dark and I didn't know how much time had passed.

Li Yuan was a little tired. He leaned on the side of Wei Qiqi's bed, paying attention to Wei Qiqi so that she wouldn't knock over the hot water bottle inside.

It gets dark.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky outside the window began to turn pale.
