Chapter 14 Arrest

Liu Su withdrew his gaze. He couldn't guess what his wife was thinking now, but as long as she put on this outfit and carried the medicine box, she would be a doctor.

How could a doctor refuse the opportunity to make money? Such a good opportunity cannot be encountered once in many years.

Gu Mingzhu stretched out her hand, her greedy appearance was clear at a glance.

Mrs. Chen sighed relieved and said, "Don't worry, your medicine money is indispensable."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, looked at Chen Er on the bed again, then pointed to the medicine bag in Mrs. Chen's hand, and took out a small hourglass from the medicine box.

Liu Su explained: "My wife said that the patient had just finished using the medicine and would take this magical medicine later."

"I know, I know," said Mrs. Chen, "The old woman was anxious just now and forgot about this. She couldn't take the medicine together."

After saying that, Mrs. Chen put away the "magic medicine" in her hand and walked to Chen Er's bed: "I'll take the doctor to see your brother first."

A faint joy appeared on Chen Er's dark face, and even his breathing was not as fast as he could recover soon.

This hope only comes from the bottle of "magic medicine" she gave. The "magic medicine" was made of astragalus and angelica powder, and it could not save Chen Er's life at all.

Chen Er's life has long been gone, and only he himself doesn't want to believe it.

Gu Mingzhu followed Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen stopped a few times, obviously having some doubts about this decision, but in the end he made up his mind and introduced Gu Mingzhu to a small path.

"It's hard to leave ahead, please be careful."

After walking for a while, I vaguely saw a dilapidated house not far away. Half of the house had collapsed, and the remaining half of the house was covered with grass and trees.

"Sick people don't dare to walk around, they will be disliked by others, so they have to be here." Mrs. Chen explained.

Gu Mingzhu shook her hand and signaled that she didn't care about these things, and stretched her head to look at the house.

"I'll go and say it first." Mrs. Chen deliberately coughed, reminding the people in the house that she was here.

Soon, Mrs. Chen waved to Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu and Liu Su walked in.

The house looks very small from the outside, and it is not too narrow inside. It is pitch black in the room, and only the lamp brought by Mrs. Chen is placed on the low table.

Gu Mingzhu looked around. Mrs. Chen was standing not far away talking to someone. There seemed to be a few people sitting on the ground in the darkness. She couldn't see them clearly, but she knew that the eyes were all on her.

Although I was prepared for it, my heartbeat was still inevitable at this time.

What do these people do with hiding here?

I heard Mr. Chen say, "Woman has been in better spirits these days, and he just took her medicine. Waister is thinking about you and asks me to bring her over."

The man's voice was hoarse: "Why bother that?"

"Let's take a look when everyone comes. This is what the waiter means."

As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Gu Mingzhu turned around and walked out of the house.

"Hey, madam, what are you doing?" Mrs. Chen hurriedly stopped him.

Gu Mingzhu stretched out her finger to the room, then waved her hand, as if she was very scared, that an ordinary woman should do this.

"I've come here, are you afraid that we won't admit it? I'll give you money first."

Mrs. Chen took out another piece of silver and stuffed it into Gu Mingzhu's hand. This time, Gu Mingzhu's struggle was no longer so powerful.

"That's right," said Mrs. Chen, "How can you push and shovate money for making money?"

Gu Mingzhu reluctantly took the money and followed Mrs. Chen into the house again. Liu Su stepped forward and picked up the lamp, followed Gu Mingzhu in an endless step.

The two began to treat the people in the room.

"There is only a lamp here, and I can't see anything even if I light it," said Chen. "My wife can get better just by looking at her pulse, and there will be less trouble."

I don't want her to see the faces of those people, so that even if she goes out and says nothing, it will be fine.

Gu Mingzhu followed Mrs. Chen, pushed away the man's sleeve, put his finger on his pulse, and looked over carefully one by one.

These people have the same symptoms as Chen Er, and their hands are covered with calluses. They are all quarry-picking people.

Gu Mingzhu opened the medicine box and began to dispense medicine under the lamp.

"Can my disease be cured?" Finally someone couldn't help asking.

Gu Mingzhu didn't say anything, and Mrs. Chen helped explain: "She is a mute, but she said that if you can cure your waiter's disease, you will naturally be able to cure it."

"Even if it can be cured, I'm afraid we will run away..." Someone spat and wanted to say something, but was stopped.

Gu Mingzhu delivered the medicine bag to Mrs. Chen, who smiled: "If my wife can cure her illness, I will find a living for her in the future."

These words seemed to make the atmosphere in the house relaxed a little.

Gu Mingzhu was about to leave when footsteps sounded outside again. Immediately someone went to the door to check, and in the blink of an eye, the person outside entered the door.

"It's not right tonight. The update time is half a moment late. As we agreed before, the announcement will be late. You must leave immediately. You can leave first, I'll leave and wait for the news."

After the visitor finished speaking, he realized that tonight was a little different, and there were two more people in the house.

The man frowned.

"This is the doctor I brought," said Mrs. Chen, "I just showed everyone my pulse and am about to leave now."

Gu Mingzhu only saw the man looking at her, and her attitude was quite unkind. She subconsciously took a step back and Liu Su immediately stood in front of her.

"Don't say anything when you go out," the man said, "it's no good for you."

Gu Mingzhu nodded quickly.

The man looked at Mrs. Chen again: "You go quickly, you are different from us, they will not find you."

What else did Mrs. Chen want to say, the man said anxiously: "Why are you still standing there? You can't escape if something happens."

After saying that, Mrs. Chen grabbed Gu Mingzhu's sleeve and walked out of the house.

The three of them walked faster than when they came. They had just walked through the trail and before they could enter Chen's yard, they saw torches shaking around them.

Mrs. Chen stood there stiffly.

It was the officers and soldiers. The only one who made such a big noise at night was the yamen. Gu Mingzhu pulled Chen Ma Zi hard, and Chen Ma Zi came to her senses and ran with Gu Mingzhu. The three of them ran into the yard in one breath.

Mrs. Chen sat on the ground. What was happening outside seemed to have defeated her. Her tears flowed out: "The world of killing heaven does not leave any way for the poor. Those who shouted for justice were wronged. They were going to kill them all..."

After saying this, Mrs. Chen shut up and refused to mention it for a moment.

The movement outside gradually faded away, and it was obvious that the people in the broken house had already led the yamen away.

Gu Mingzhu looked at Mrs. Chen. She should not inquire too much tonight. Anyway, Chen Er couldn't act, so Mrs. Chen would not leave her son and leave. When she knew what happened tonight from the yamen tomorrow morning, she probably had a guess. It would not be too late to test Mrs. Chen again.

At least Mrs. Chen and those quarrymen were not vicious, otherwise she would not have been let go so easily. The saying that Mrs. Chen said, "Those who shouted for justice were wronged," means that those quarrymen had been wronged.

What kind of injustice would it be? Are they wronged as bandits?

There was something wrong in the city, so she should not stay any longer. Gu Mingzhu pointed outside the door and signaled to leave. Chen Mazi nodded: "I scared my wife tonight."

Gu Mingzhu and Liu Su were rushing to the road with lights. Now she just wanted to go home soon, whether from the Cui family or Nie Chen, what happened tonight.

Gu Mingzhu was thinking, and suddenly felt Liu Su beside her walking and blocking her. She raised her head and saw a person standing not far away.

The bright and bright moonlight shone on him, making him look particularly clear, with his phoenix eyes slightly raised, and his eyes were a bit sharp.

The light at night was hazy and we shouldn't have seen it so clearly, probably because he was very fair and just fit the moonlight.

Isn’t this the passerby who still wants to expose her after watching her scene?
