Traveling back to ancient times to get rich

Chapter 63 You should still thank Aunt Xie.

"Thank you for saving me, young master!" Liu Yutian cupped his hands in thanks to Gu Changfeng, and was about to say more when Gu Changfeng spoke up: "No need to thank me, you should thank Aunt Dong! She found you and told us, which is how we saved you! But it wasn't really a rescue, your internal strength is profound, I only treated your wounds and gave you some medicine, and you recovered on your own! I admire you. Now, stay here and rest for a few more days until you're fully healed before you leave! Those soldiers came to chase you? They've already been here, they won't come again, just rest and recover!" After saying that, he didn't bother to talk to him anymore and sat down at the table. The reason Gu Changfeng didn't want to talk to him wasn't because he was aloof, he just didn't want him to learn more about Ye Qingchen through him.

However, Liu Yufeng had absolutely no interest in Ye Qingchen. His gaze was fixed on Gu Changfeng as he asked, "Young master, who was that woman who left with you just now? Her surname is Dong... what?" Hearing this, Gu Changfeng was slightly taken aback, then realized that the man was asking about Aunt Dong! That's right, he was indeed asking about a young woman! Thinking about it carefully, it didn't make sense, since Aunt Dong was only 30 years old. According to what they knew, Aunt Dong had never been married. Years ago, to rescue Gu Nanxi, Aunt Dong, along with the coachman and Ya'er, hurriedly fled with Gu Nanxi. But who could have predicted that they would encounter a group of bandits on the way? Aunt Dong was unfortunately beaten and suffered severe internal injuries, resulting in her current old-woman appearance. As for how Ye Qingchen had concocted that miraculous Rejuvenation Pill, not only successfully curing Aunt Dong but also restoring her youthful appearance... Looking at her now, Aunt Dong does indeed resemble a young woman in her early twenties. The man in front of her appears to be about the same age as Aunt Dong.

Gu Changfeng nodded slightly and said slowly, "That is Miss Dong Yijia, Dong Nanxi's aunt! We are like brothers with Dong Nanxi, so we all respectfully call her Aunt Dong. After we cured your illness yesterday, she took meticulous care of you all night. Moreover, it was because of Aunt Dong's insistence that you were not handed over to anyone else. In that case, we naturally don't need to do it again. You just need to focus on recuperating." After speaking, Dong Yijia and Ye Qingchen stepped in together, carrying some delicate pastries and a bowl of steaming wontons, with a perfectly round poached egg in the bowl. Gu Changfeng turned to look at Ye Qingchen and said softly, "In my opinion, he is fine now and recovering very well. Why don't we let Aunt Dong continue to take care of him here, and we can go for a walk outside?"

Ye Qingchen nodded in deep agreement, then walked out the door with Gu Changfeng, accompanied by Han Zhi and Zhao Fei. The streets were bustling with people today, perhaps due to the warm and pleasant weather.

As Ye Qingchen strolled through the bustling streets, he planned to sample the local delicacies. However, things didn't go as planned. When he actually saw these so-called "specialties," he was greatly disappointed. It turned out that the locals didn't seem to pay much attention to food; most of the dishes were stews and boiled dishes, lacking originality and appeal, and hardly whetting his appetite.

Left with no other choice, they bought some ready-made ingredients, intending to take them back for Ye Qingchen to cook himself. As they walked, Ye Qingchen suddenly spotted a roadside stall selling hawthorns. The hawthorns were all round and plump, brightly colored, and much larger than usual. Seeing this, Ye Qingchen had an idea. He immediately decided to buy some hawthorns, planning to use the leftover bamboo skewers from yesterday to carefully make two delicious candied hawthorn skewers for his lovely little Yue'er when he got home. After all, although there were candied hawthorn skewers sold outside, Ye Qingchen firmly believed that those made by hand would be much more exquisite and delicious.

After buying food, they purchased several sets of clothes and some herbs. Just as they were about to head back, they noticed a group of people staring at a wall. Looking closer, they discovered a notice posted on the wall—a wanted poster for the man they had rescued the previous night. It stated that this person was extremely vicious and ruthless, a cold-blooded killer, and that anyone who discovered him would be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. "Twenty taels of silver!" many exclaimed, genuinely hoping to see this man. Gu Changfeng and Ye Qingchen, however, didn't react much and continued on their way.

Meanwhile, Dong Yijia carefully carried a steaming bowl of wontons to Liu Yufeng, gently blew away the steam, and then used a spoon to scoop up a wonton and bring it to his lips, saying softly, "Young master, try these wontons, they taste delicious." Liu Yufeng opened his mouth slightly and ate the wonton, finding it incredibly delicious. He couldn't help but secretly praise Dong Yijia's culinary skills.

Then, Dong Yijia picked up a hard-boiled egg from the table, carefully peeled off the shell, and handed it to Liu Yufeng, smiling as she said, "Young Master, have another egg to nourish your body." Liu Yufeng took the egg, glanced gratefully at Dong Yijia, took a bite, and the aroma of the yolk instantly filled the air.

Afterwards, Dong Yijia brought some delicate pastries and placed them on a plate in front of Liu Yufeng, saying gently, "Young master, these pastries were specially prepared for you. Please try them." Liu Yufeng looked at the dazzling array of food in front of him and felt a warm glow in his heart.

After Liu Yufeng had eaten and drunk his fill, Dong Yijia asked with concern, "Young master, I heard from Young Master Gu that you are much better now. Why don't you eat some more so that your body can recover faster?" As she spoke, her beautiful eyes were fixed on Liu Yufeng, a hint of expectation in them.

Liu Yufeng looked up, his gaze meeting Dong Yijia's. Her face was like a peach blossom, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her lips naturally red; her captivating appearance left Liu Yufeng momentarily speechless. He simply couldn't reconcile this gentle and beautiful woman before him with his aunt. After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly said, "Then thank you, Miss Dong, thank you so much for saving my life. If it weren't for your meticulous care last night, my injuries would probably have been much worse. You haven't even eaten yet, have you? I heard from Young Master Gu that you were busy taking care of everything last night; you've truly worked hard. I thank you again." With that, Liu Yufeng cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, expressing his sincere gratitude.
