Rong Su remained indifferent to Yulan's plea.

"I can't deny that you're indeed very hardworking in your studies. However, I won't accept you as a disciple. I'll arrange for someone to take you back to Lincheng in the next town."

These words were so firm that Yulan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Gu Yuer watched and felt bad for Yulan, but she had no way to change Rong Su's mind for the time being. After all, this was Rong Su's business.

In this way, the carriage traveled for another two hours, and by then, it was already dark.

Following the voice coming from the stone: "We're in town."

When they heard that they had arrived in the town, everyone got off the carriage and went to find an inn to stay for the night. After getting a good rest, they would continue their journey the next day.

In the second half of the night, Gu Yuer was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt the urge to go to the toilet.

Passing through the corridor, I vaguely saw a figure in front of me.

In an instant, she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and her whole body became alert.

When he raised the oil lamp in his hand and took a closer look, it turned out to be magnolia.

Seeing that it was a person, and an acquaintance, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding a lantern, Gu Yuer walked over and asked Yulan in a low voice: "Why are you here? Why don't you rest at night?"

Yulan seemed to have heard her voice and was startled. Her shoulders jumped slightly, and then she turned around. After seeing that it was her, her expression was obviously not so scared anymore.

"I, I can't sleep."

Seeing that Yulan's expression was becoming increasingly lonely and sad, Gu Yuer recalled yesterday and couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it because Sister Rong doesn't want you to stay?"

Yulan nodded, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "I just want to repay the favor, and I'm really interested in studying medicine, so I want to follow Doctor Rong. And for some reason, I just want to follow Doctor Rong."

After hearing what Yulan said, Gu Yuer actually felt that she agreed with her and nodded repeatedly.

"Sister Rong always has a magical charm. When I first saw her, I wanted to become her best friend. I wanted to follow her forever."

Suddenly, Yulan was about to kneel down in front of Gu Yuer, and Gu Yuer was so scared that she quickly stretched out a hand to hold her.

"What are you doing? Why are you kneeling down all of a sudden?"

Yulan's face was filled with sorrow, her eyes red, and she pleaded with a hint of tears in her voice, "Miss Gu, I beg you, please help me. I really want to stay with Dr. Rong and study. I really want to repay her through my own efforts."

Faced with Yulan's pleading, Gu Yuer felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

Yulan saw Gu Yuer's embarrassment, pursed her lips, and looked very lonely and sad. She turned around and knelt down facing Rong Su's room.

Gu Yuer was stunned for a moment and wanted to stop her, but saw that she had already knelt down.

"Sister Yulan, why are you doing this?"

Yulan's expression was extremely resolute. "I just want to stay by Dr. Rong's side. I won't affect her. I can be a shadow that no one else can see."

Seeing her like this, Gu Yuer couldn't help but be moved. She sighed in her heart and inexplicably recalled the story in the book.

A love story where a down-and-out girl meets a cool and aloof young man who loves Shien is so touching.

But she thought again, Sister Yulan and Sister Rong are both women, so this doesn't quite fit.

If Sister Rong were a man, maybe she would like her too. No, now she likes Sister Rong very much.

Yulan had no idea of ​​the strange thoughts in Gu Yuer's mind. She just knelt there with an unwavering expression.

Looking at Yulan like this, Gu Yuer walked over, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"I'll help you. But I need one more person to help."

As soon as these words came out, Yulan seemed to see hope. She excitedly reached out and held Gu Yuer's hand, saying gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, Miss Gu."

Gu Yuer suddenly felt embarrassed and said unsurely, "I'm just trying. Sister Rong is a bit of a stickler for words, so I'm not sure if I can convince her."

Yulan shook her head and smiled through her tears: "No matter what the result is, I will follow Doctor Rong. Even if she doesn't let me stay, I will follow her."

Gu Yuer was a little surprised that Yulan would go to such lengths. She couldn't help but admire Yulan and unconsciously thought of the love story in the storybook.

In an instant, she felt that she should not match Sister Rong and her brother, but match Sister Yulan and Sister Rong?

Horrified by her own thoughts, Gu Yuer quickly stopped thinking this weird idea.

"Then it's settled. I'll try it first. So, you go back and rest." Gu Yuer helped Yulan up from the ground.

Yulan looked at her gratefully, stood up and bowed to her.

"Thank you, Miss Gu."

"Don't call me Miss Gu anymore, just call me Yu'er. Go back and rest." Gu Yu'er waved her hand, urging Yulan to go back.

After watching Yulan leave, Gu Yuer began to regret it. She glanced at Rongsu's room with a worried look on her face.

What should I do? I raised my hand and knocked my forehead, feeling very upset.

After thinking about it, she finally decided to go find Shen Peiqing.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the relationship between Brother Shen and Sister Rong seemed to be quite special.

Whether Sister Rong was looking for medical books or herbs, it was all for Brother Shen.

From this point of view, Brother Shen might be the best person to convince Sister Rong to let Sister Yulan stay.

In desperation, Gu Yuer came to Shen Peiqing's room and stopped for a while. Finally, she mustered up the courage and raised her hand to knock on the door.

But the next second, someone approached her, and before she could react, her wrist was strangled.

She was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat again, and she felt a sense of fear that came from nowhere.

She didn't dare to move until she heard Shi Tou's surprised voice.

"Miss Yu'er? Why is it you?"

Seeing that it was a stone, Gu Yuer slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but she began to wonder in her heart, why don’t these people rest at night? They always like to walk around everywhere, which is scary. Haven’t you heard that people can be scared to death by scaring others?

Shi Tou didn't know what Gu Yu'er was thinking at the moment, but he was very confused as to why she came to his master's door. He was staring at her, wanting to get an answer from her.

It was the first time that Gu Yuer was stared at by a strange man for so long. She immediately felt her cheeks getting hot and turned her face away embarrassedly.

"I, I have something I want to discuss with Brother Shen."

After hearing this, Shitou felt that Gu Yuer was incomprehensible. How could a girl come to discuss something with an adult man so late at night?

"Miss Yu'er, it's late now. If you have something to ask the master, why don't you wait until daytime? It's too late and it's not good for your reputation."

These words were reasonable, but she was very anxious about this matter. Tomorrow, Sister Yulan might have to be sent back to Lincheng by Sister Rong.

Without thinking too much, Gu Yuer grabbed Shi Tou with her backhand and walked to the side. Shi Tou was stunned and frowned. He wanted to shake her off, but seeing that Gu Yuer was petite, he was afraid of hurting her if he used too much strength, so he could only let her pull him away.

Gu Yuer brought Shi Tou to a corner, then she looked around and spoke to Shi Tou in a low voice.

"Brother Shitou, I have a favor to ask of you."

Just now she said that she had something to discuss with her master, and now she asked him for help. Shi Tou was even more confused about what the little girl in front of him was thinking.

However, since they are partners in the same journey, he would definitely not refuse if he could help.

"Okay. Go ahead."

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Gu Yuer immediately smiled, like the most delicate flower in early spring, which seemed to have met the warm sun and instantly showed the most beautiful expression.

Shi Tou looked at it, and for a moment his heart suddenly accelerated a little. He realized that something was wrong and immediately looked away.

Gu Yuer did not notice the change in the stone, but carefully considered her words and then spoke to the stone.

"Sister Yulan, you know."

When Shitou heard this, he remembered the girl he had rescued on the top of the mountain today. It seemed that the name he heard them calling was Yulan.

He nodded: "Yeah. I know."

"That's right. Sister Yulan really wanted to stay and study medicine with Sister Rong, but Sister Rong was too determined and didn't want her to stay. But I think Sister Yulan is really dedicated. She didn't care about her own safety and wanted to come to the suburbs to learn how to identify herbs. Just based on this kind of heart, I don't think Sister Rong should have rejected her like that."

After hearing this, Shi Tou probably guessed what Gu Yuer meant, but he still didn't quite understand what she wanted to do.

"So what do you want to do? Or, how do you want me to help you?"

Gu Yuer thought for a moment before saying, "Originally, I was planning to ask Brother Shen for help, but time is running out now. Sister Rong might have arranged for someone to send Sister Yulan away early tomorrow morning. So I don't have time to ask Brother Shen for help either. Now I can only ask you."

Shitou didn't care whether Yulan left or not, but since he had promised Gu Yuer, he would try his best to do it.

"Then tell me, what should I do?"

Gu Yuer looked around again, then took two steps towards Shi Tou. Seeing this, Shi Tou subconsciously stepped back. Seeing him hiding from her, Gu Yuer pursed her lips, helplessly reached out and grabbed him, scaring him so much that he froze.

Not understanding why he was like that, without thinking too much, Gu Yuer looked up at the stone. However, he was a head and a half taller than her. She helplessly whispered, "Bend down and put your ear closer."

Shitou lowered his head and looked at Gu Yuer's beautiful eyes that were as clear as glass. His heart beat faster, but he still obeyed her words, slowly bent down, and put his ear closer.

After hearing Gu Yuer's words, Shitou didn't think it was difficult, but she was too close, he could smell her faint fragrance, and the sound of her heartbeat that only he could hear.

After she finished speaking, he immediately stood up and kept a distance from her.

Gu Yu'er didn't care about this. After all, she had already expressed her thoughts. She looked at the stone and said, "Thank you for your help. I'll go back and rest first!"

After saying that, Gu Yuer waved to Shi Tou, then jumped away.

Shitou was left alone, staring at the petite figure and lost in thought.

The next day.

When Rong Su arrived, the first thing he planned to do was to arrange someone to send Yulan back to Lincheng.

Just as she was about to go out, Gu Yuer came over, took her arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Rong, where are you going?"

"Find someone to send Yulan back to Lincheng." Rong Su answered calmly without thinking too much.

When Gu Yuer heard this, she thought to herself, it is indeed true.

She looked around and didn't see anyone named Shi Tou. She thought to herself, I hope Brother Shi Tou can handle this.

"I want to go too, Sister Rong, let me go with you!"

Rong Su glanced at Gu Yuer and didn't refuse, so she let her go.

The two left the inn together, and Rong Su had already planned to go to the carriage dealer to take a look.

Generally, dealers who sell horse-drawn carriages will have a ready-made coachman. As long as you agree on the price, you can go.

After searching around, they finally found a large car dealership at the westernmost end of the town, so Rong Su planned to go there and take a look.

Just as they turned into a small alley, a bullock cart seemed to be rushing towards them out of control.

Seeing this, Rong Su was about to push Gu Yuer away, but unexpectedly someone suddenly rushed over from the side, exerted a lot of force on her, and pushed her and Gu Yuer aside.

Instead, the man was hit on the arm by the ox cart and fell to the side. He saw the out-of-control ox cart was about to rush out of the alley and run towards a crowded place.

A figure jumped onto the ox cart at lightning speed, pulled the reins, and completely stopped the cart. Then he took out a wooden stick from somewhere and knocked the mad ox unconscious.

The cow fell to the ground and seemed to have been knocked unconscious.

All this happened so suddenly that Rong Su was a little stunned.

"Sister Yulan?" Gu Yuer's high-pitched voice called Rong Su out of her distraction.

Looking over there, Yulan was sitting on the ground, her arm seemed to be bleeding profusely, obviously she was scratched.

Seeing that Gu Yuer had already run over to check on Yulan's injuries, Rong Su thought about it and walked over as well.

Yulan looked up and when she saw Rong Su, she blurted out, "Doctor Rong, are you hurt?"

Unexpectedly, the first question she asked was to herself. Rong Su looked at the woman in front of her with some complexity. What on earth did she want to do?

But seeing that the blood on her arm had dyed her sleeves red, Rong Su sighed, squatted down, took out a bottle of medicine from his body, and simply stopped the bleeding for Yulan.

After doing all this, Rong Su coldly questioned Yulan, "Why did you suddenly rush over? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

In the face of Rong Su's scolding, Yulan did not feel wronged or sad, but was smiling instead.

"But I can save you, and that's enough."

After hearing this, Rong Su couldn't understand Yulan anymore. She had rejected her many times, but she still treated her like this. It was really incomprehensible.

But there was one thing, Rong Su glanced sideways at the silent stone.

"Why are you here too?"

Seeing that Rong Su had noticed him, Shitou replied softly, "I just happened to be out buying some paper and ink for the master. I was just passing by."

Such a coincidence? Rong Su withdrew her gaze, thinking.

Gu Yu'er looked at them, then worriedly and carefully observed Rong Su's expression, and suggested: "Sister Rong, I think we shouldn't let Sister Yulan go back to Lincheng like this. She's already injured like this. Why not let her stay?"

Originally, Rong Su didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that Gu Yuer mentioned this, she narrowed her eyes.

Looking at Yulan again, she was also looking at her with expectant eyes. Rong Su thought about it in her heart.

Since this person is unwilling to leave, then stay with him and observe him carefully. Maybe he will reveal his true intentions in the future.

"Then send her back to the inn first. I want to check on her injuries."

Seeing Rong Su give in, Gu Yuer also breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, winked at Yulan quietly, and secretly gave Shitou a thumbs up.

The corners of Yulan's mouth rose slightly, Shitou remained expressionless, but he felt a sense of inexplicable joy in his heart.
