Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Lu Fanghai suddenly stopped, turned his head slowly, and looked at Du Wenxiu in surprise.

Du Wenxiu licked his dry lips and said hoarsely, "Where will you wait for me tomorrow morning? I'll go see the child."

"A dilapidated temple in the south of the city." Lu Fanghai whispered, "It used to be the City God Temple, but now it has long been dilapidated. Apart from beggars, no one goes there on weekdays."

"I understand. I'll come over when the time comes." Du Wenxiu said.

With the light coming through the door curtain, Lu Fanghai's eyes seemed to be glowing in the night.

He grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.

He turned and walked out, disappearing into the shadows.

Du Wenxiu stood in front of the wide-open door for a long time before turning around and closing it.

At 12:00 a.m., the sky was already bright.

Du Wenxiu was dressed neatly and appeared in the south of the city by car.

"Grandma, the City God Temple is just ahead." The old coachman said respectfully.

Du Wenxiu placed a few large coins on the shaft of the cart and said in a clear voice, "Wait for me here for a while. I have to go back."

The driver bowed, took a large sum of money, and drove the carriage to a shady place to wait.

Du Wenxiu walked into the City God Temple gracefully, her waist swaying gently and her posture elegant, like a young woman going to meet her lover.

There was no one in the temple.

Come to think of it, since they are hiding here, how can they dare to be so open?

Du Wenxiu looked around and saw that although the place was dilapidated, it was clean and looked like someone had taken care of it.

The beggar at the door tilted his head and looked inside. Du Wenxiu glanced at him and walked over.

Looking carefully, I saw a female beggar holding a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old in her arms. Although the boy's face was covered with soot, his neck was very clean.

Du Wenxiu walked over and asked: "What happened to your child?"

The female beggar hesitated for half a day before she made it clear - the child had a fever.

Du Wenxiu frowned with an impatient look on his face, saying, "It was all that damned cheating Taoist priest who insisted that I had bad luck recently and needed someone to help me get rid of my bad luck, and pointed to this shabby place."

"Can you still get up? If you can, come with me to see the doctor. I'm telling you, you've found a good person."

As he spoke, he began to lead the way, fanning himself and twisting his waist.

The beggars around were stunned. Is this okay?

There was a poor beggar who cried out in surprise, "Young lady, I am also sick. Please take me back to see a doctor. Can't I warm the bed better than this little kid?"

Du Wenxiu turned around slightly and said with a smile: "He just has a fever, but you are mentally ill. I can still tell who should be treated and who is a nuisance."

After saying this, he helped the female beggar lift the child into the car, regardless of the beggars shouting and making noises behind him.

As the carriage started, the water went deep into the water.

Du Wenxiu looked coldly at the woman who was pretending in front of him.

So, in recent days, Lu Fanghai has been fleeing with this woman and the child?

"Mrs. Lu, please don't be angry." The woman smiled bitterly and said, "My name is Lu Erniang. I am a descendant of a family of martial artists and I am good at using poison. Lord Lu found me and asked me to take care of this child."

"I didn't expect that although I am good at poison, I am not good at treating various diseases. In order to avoid the court running dogs, I became more and more tired. The child's illness became more and more serious, so I came to Madam Lu for help."

"Oh." Du Wenxiu responded softly, lifting the curtain to look outside the car.

"Why are there only you and him? Where did Lu Fanghai die?" Du Wenxiu asked casually.

The woman shook her head and said hesitantly, "Lord Lu asked us to pretend to be beggars this morning, and then he left. There were pursuers following behind him, so I guess he went to lure the people away, right?"

Du Wenxiu sighed inwardly, what is this?

I clearly just want to live a quiet city life, why do I have to get involved in these dirty things?

Based on the principle that the less you know, the less involved you are, she kept her mouth shut.

He asked the woman to change clothes in the car, wiped the boy's face, and got off the car at the east of the city.

"There's a pharmacy a few steps ahead. The doctor there is very skilled and I know him. If you trust him, let's go there."

Du Wenxiu spoke to her with a mixture of truth and lies.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Since the master has entrusted the child to you, please send him here. My mission is complete. From now on, you will follow your arrangements. I will send him over and leave."

Du Wenxiu was speechless and couldn't help but look at the woman again.

——He has a handsome face and a well-proportioned figure. He looks like a man who can work efficiently.

She thought this, not that she had any intention of keeping her.

Since he works with Lu Fanghai and is entrusted with important tasks, he must be a useful person and will definitely not stay in his own small workshop.

But in this case, it would be better not to let her enter my workshop, so I smiled and said:

"If you have something to do, go ahead. I'll take him there." He put his arm around the boy's shoulders and supported him with a little force.

The woman was also quick and efficient. She smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries, then turned and left.

Du Wenxiu struggled to support the young man as he walked towards Wenyuefang. When they got closer, a worker who was transporting goods saw them and hurried over.

"Oh, who is this person of Madam Du? He is burnt like this."

The tentacles were hot and the child was a little dizzy from the fever.

"Just now, he fell down in front of me while walking on the street. I felt sorry for him and we have Madam Cheng who is an excellent doctor in our workshop, so I brought him back. After all, it is a life."

Du Wenxiu said calmly and followed them into the door.

It's not so lively here at Cheng Suying's place today. She is teaching Cheng Xiaomei how to recognize medicine.

When he raised his eyes, he saw several people supporting a young man who was not in good condition. He hurriedly stood up to greet them, and saw Du Wenxiu following behind.

Du Wenxiu repeated what he had just said. Cheng Suying nodded and continued to treat the young man first.

Sister Cheng helped by feeding water and passing things, and everything was done in an orderly manner.

"My little sister is becoming more and more capable." Du Wenxiu couldn't help but praise.

Cheng Suying is a decent person and the children she raised are also good.

Cheng Xiaomei blushed and said in a coquettish voice: "Mom said that I learn quickly, but there are too many things to learn. I still need to work harder."

Du Wenxiu patted her head and said, "Then you must study hard and don't let your mother down."

Cheng Xiaomei nodded heavily and responded crisply.

"What's wrong with this brother? His mouth is all burnt and flaky. He looks so pitiful." Cheng Xiaomei muttered with a frown.

"Don't talk about that. First, give him some salt water and apply a warm towel to his forehead. I'll wipe his body later."

Cheng Suying gave instructions while pouring water and preparing medicine.

Du Wenxiu recalled that once when Haisheng had a fever, Cheng Suying stayed at home and used warm water to wash his neck, behind his ears, under his armpits and thighs over and over again.

But... Du Wenxiu frowned: "You helped him wipe his body?"

Cheng Suying looked up at her, then lowered her eyes and said, "Why don't you come?"

Du Wenxiu blushed, this was not a blood-related child.

Besides, even if she was so open-minded in her previous life, she had never done anything like rubbing the body of a strange boy.

Even when I saw my eight or nine-year-old nephew during the Chinese New Year, I felt reluctant to even wipe his butt.
