The Great Physician

Falling in Love with You (630bookla Chapter of The Great Physician)

The century-old sycamore tree not only blocks out the scenery in front of the tree, but also blocks out the light of late autumn.

The old, cramped house was very cold and gloomy.

The kang (heated brick bed) was placed on the north side of the house, where it was not exposed to sunlight.

The rest of the place was still very dirty and messy. The only place where people could sit was a kang (a heated brick bed). Where was the room for people to live?

Chan sat wearily in the corner of the tidy earthen bed, saying, "I can't do this anymore." She looked at Li Ruozhuo, who was wiping his sword with his head down, with a wronged expression.

Ji Yuanyuan was very happy and tiptoed around on the roof beam, while Li Gungun lay down at Li Ruozhuo's feet, his hairy body acting as a foot warmer.

Chan then asked, "Sister, why are we going back to our own home? Aren't we comfortable here?"

Li Ruozhuo didn't even look up: "Because you treat this place as your own home, but others don't consider it your home."

"Does your sister consider this place her own home?"

"Me?" Li Ruozhuo looked around: "If I can survive, I'll become a martial arts practitioner and make my home anywhere in the world."

This doesn't seem like someone who's indifferent.

Chanxing stared at her sister with adoring eyes: "Then, sister, were you a martial arts practitioner before?"

"No."

Chan: "..."

She pouted and said, "Sister, I'm hungry."

Li Ruozhuo finally looked up at her: "Not eating dry rations?"

"I didn't eat anything, but I didn't expect you to eat everything just because you came in.

But when they came in, even the people who were supposed to be there were stunned.

Li Ruozhuo said, "No, swallow your saliva first. I don't think anyone will cook for us."

Use your spittle to cover yourself!

Chan: "..."

But even here, it's not as good as Qingyun Manor where you can gather firewood and start a fire whenever you want.

Even without rice or dishes, you can still have a snack.

Nothing is convenient there.

Chan, feeling somewhat listless, slumped against the wall behind her: "Why are things so hard these days?"

Li Ruozhuo sheathed his sword and asked her, "Are you very sad?"

Chan pouted and nodded: "It's even more painful than being at Qingyun Manor. If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have come back."

Li Ruozhu chuckled: "You're still feeling down? How are you going to get through tomorrow and the day after?"

So you'll be sad tomorrow and the day after?

Chan sat up in fright: "Sister, what should we do? I'm starving and they won't give me any food. What if I starve to death?"

Li Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure I won't starve to death because I'm highly skilled."

Chan: "..."

She said pitifully, "Sister, please don't tease me. I'm just worried about you."

Li Ruozhu chuckled and said, "Are you worried about me? Then you don't need to worry about anyone being more worried than you."

The noisy footsteps coming from outside were not loud.

Chan got down and lay on her stomach, looking south. When she turned back, she exclaimed in alarm, "Sister, someone has surrounded us!"

Li Ruozhuo placed the sword he had picked up from Mo Xie on the bedside table and said calmly, "That's not an encirclement, that's an attack. They're just defending us."

"Why are you guarding us? Does the sect leader think we're fugitives?"

Li Ruozhuo turned around and said, "He's not a fugitive, I just felt it was dangerous."

"If she's a dangerous person, what's the point of her being naked? Why doesn't Father lock her up?"

In the flower hall of Danxi Courtyard, only the mother and daughter, Qin Shi and Li Shan, remained, sitting facing each other and drinking freshly warmed milk.

Qin glanced lightly at the table, her face contorted with resentment.

"Because your dad still has to keep her locked up, otherwise people will think she's crazy."

"She's a madwoman."

"But we can't let people say she's crazy, otherwise it will embarrass your father. One person living at home is enough."

It's already shameful enough for a fool to be born into a family. If a madman comes out, it's something that needs to be explained to the neighbors, because according to the law at the time, if a madman harms someone, the neighborhood has a guardianship responsibility.

The Li family is a prominent and wealthy family; how could they allow others to monitor them?

Moreover, Li Xuntong, who returned from Dagui, brought his cousin back, and he turned out to be a madman.

Li Shan thought for a moment and said, "But Dad didn't pay much attention to her. How will you deal with her if she treats you like this in the future?"

Qin looked up at Li Shan and said, "Daughter, think long-term. She's crazy and stupid. Why should I dirty my hands? Remember, some people don't deserve to be your enemies. Just let her fend for herself. Besides, a madwoman doesn't know pain or suffering. Arguing with her might hurt yourself. I was just trying to warn your aunt, but I didn't expect that getting Weiwei involved wouldn't be worth it."

Li Shan said resentfully, "But everyone else says she's her father's daughter, so what am I? And the matter of being a maid can't just be left like this, can it?"

“You are also your father’s biological daughter.”

Qin's face turned solemn; "You are the legitimate eldest sister of the Li family, older than that fool."

However, his identity is not honorable.

Li Shan knew her mother didn't want the past mentioned, so she kept quiet.

Her eyes darted around as if she'd just remembered something; "Mother, haven't we overlooked something? She stabbed Weiwei in the eye with a sword. Where did she get that sword?"

Only members of the aristocratic class are qualified to wield a sword.

Ordinary people are not allowed to carry swords.

But Qingyun Manor has no aristocratic families, and Steward Wu wouldn't buy a sword for a fool.

So where did Li Shi A Zhuo's sword come from?

Madam Qin said, "You should also pay more attention to your father's neglect of her. I will go find him myself."

…………

Gradually, only two old women remained guarding the tree, one behind it.

Chan's stomach rumbled as she returned and sat down beside her sister: "Sister, how did they get there?"

The woman, relaxed, rested her head on her arm, closed her eyes to relax, and crossed her long legs.

"Because it's meaningless."

"Leave just because you're bored? Weren't they here on orders?"

"You can do what you say, you can have a stomachache, you can do other things, anyway there's nothing wrong inside."

Because they were very honest, the other side lowered their guard.

Chan asked, "Then are we free?"

The relaxed woman rolled over: "You're free to do as you please."

"Sister, you're being so cryptic, I don't understand."

Li Ruozhuo looked at her as she opened her eyes: "What don't you understand?"

Chan wanted to lie down next to her: "Sister, I always feel uneasy. You hurt people as soon as you entered the door and started a fight. What if the sect leader punishes you?"

"Then let's deal with him. Anyway, he can't beat me, and nobody in my family can beat me."

Therefore, she felt insecure.

They might as well kill everyone.

"What if the sect leader treats you like a daughter?"

Li Ruozhu smiled with narrowed eyes: "Then we really need to consider whether he's crazy?"

Chan: "..."

"In short, I just feel uneasy. You caused trouble as soon as you entered the gate. The sect leader can't just let you off the hook. There must be some kind of punishment for you, right?"

The voice behind him was so cautious, it was as if he were praying to the gods. He knew that no one could ignore what he was doing, yet he still wanted to escape the calamity.

The way to
