It was almost noon when we arrived at the county seat.

Yang Ruoqing wanted to go to Magistrate Zou's house before lunch, but she delayed it until after lunch, which was already the afternoon.

According to the customs in this area, it is unlucky to visit or visit other people's homes in the afternoon.

Of course there are exceptions to everything.

People from the same village visit each other at night, except for family visits.

"Qing'er, please go in and do your work. I'll go and settle down, Dajie Da'an. Once you're settled, I'll come here to pick you up."

Luo Fengtang said as they parted ways on the street outside the Zou Family Courtyard.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, and her two brothers followed him, which reassured her.

The inner residence of the Zou family.

Mrs. Zou was very happy to see Yang Ruoqing arriving.

"Miss Yang, you are really smart. You sent someone to deliver the letter yesterday afternoon and came here this morning."

Mrs. Zou warmly greeted Yang Ruoqing into the backyard.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "I received your wife's letter this morning, so I came here right away."

"I don't know what the madam's instructions are for summoning me here so urgently?"

She asked straight to the point.

When asked about this, the smile on Mrs. Zou's face faded a bit and was replaced by a bit of anxiety and worry.

"It's not just for Lin'er..."

she said.

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "What's going on, young master? Please tell me."

Mrs. Zou said: "Thanks to Miss Yang, my heart has not had another attack for a long time."

"My appetite has also improved a lot. I eat more than before, and my complexion is a little rosier."

"I didn't dare to show anything in front of him, but privately I was extremely happy."

"But recently..."

Mrs. Zou spoke for a moment, then stopped talking.

"How have you been lately? Madam, tell me what you have to say. We all hope that the young master will be healthy as soon as possible." Yang Ruoqing said.

Mrs. Zou nodded, and then told Yang Ruoqing everything about Zou Lin'er's abnormality during this period.

Mrs. Zou's words were very fragmentary and lacked any logic.

Yang Ruoqing listened very carefully and sorted out the information while listening.

The general situation is this: Zou Lin'er has been feeling gloomy for the past half month and her appetite has been greatly reduced.

He doesn't like to laugh, he's also lazy, and he spends most of the day bored in his room.

Mr. Zou is busy with official duties and has no time to take care of it.

Mrs. Zou tried to communicate with her son, but couldn't ask anything.

Looking at her son who was losing weight day by day, Mrs. Zou became anxious.

I went to see Dr. Wang from Huaichuntang. Dr. Wang came over to make a diagnosis and found that the young master was fine.

I just had some liver-fire stagnation and didn't dare to prescribe medicine at will, so I wrote two medicinal diets.

Seeing that her son was still losing weight day by day, and his energy was getting worse every day, Mrs. Zou couldn't sit still.

I had to write a letter and send it to someone to ask Yang Ruoqing to come and take a look.

After hearing what Mrs. Zou said, Yang Ruoqing pondered for a moment and said, "Come here in the middle of the month. He seems to be in good spirits and he also likes to joke."

"So madam, besides what you mentioned, has the young master done anything strange during this period?" She asked again.

Mrs. Zou thought for a while and shook her head.

The maid Xiao Cui next to her said: "Some, some."

"Say it."

"I heard from the book boy next to the young master that every day he would go to the octagonal pavilion at the highest point of the rockery in the backyard and sit there for half an hour, rain or shine," Xiao Cui said.

Mrs. Zou was shocked and angry.

"There is such a thing, and I don't even know about it?"

Xiao Cui said: "At that hour, Madam, you were mostly taking a nap. It's not surprising that you didn't know."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Mrs. Zou asked Xiaocui.

Xiao Cui shrank her neck: "Young master, you are not allowed to..."

"Hey, this kid Lin'er..."

Mrs. Zou sighed again, turned around and begged Yang Ruoqing: "Miss Yang, you have heard it, this child has been so weird lately, I am really worried..."

To be honest, Yang Ruoqing was still confused after hearing so much.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Madam, please be patient. Let me go and see the young master first and then give him the right medicine!" she said.

"well!"

…

Inside the octagonal pavilion on the rockery.

When Yang Ruoqing climbed up, she saw a thin figure in the distance.

He sat sideways on the railing in the corner of the pavilion, his white silk robe dragging to the ground.

The slender jade-like fingers gently supported the thin chin.

A pair of eyes like cold stars, looking into the distance.

What are you looking at, so fascinated?

He didn't even notice that a big living person like her was standing behind him?

Yang Ruoqing thought to herself and followed his line of sight.

The pavilion is very high, like a watchtower.

Once you stop here, you can have a panoramic view of most of Wanghai County.

"You can see far if you stand high. The view here is wide. The young master really knows how to choose a place!"

She smiled at his back.

The moment her voice reached his ears, she clearly felt his body startled.

Oops, this kid has a bad heart. Didn't it scare him?

The next moment, he turned around.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing standing in the pavilion, Zou Lin'er's eyes flashed with surprise.

He stood up and walked quickly towards her, unable to conceal his excitement.

"Sister Yang, why are you here?"

he asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing looked at Zou Lin'er and said with a smile: "I came to the county town to do some errands today and stopped by to see you."

"really?"

Zou Lin'er's eyes brightened even more.

Sister Yang originally came to check on her pulse on the middle of every month, but she didn't expect that she would come to check on him on a day other than the middle of the month.

So happy, so happy!

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "By the way, Lin'er, what are you doing here alone?"

Zou Lin'er said: "It's interesting to look at the scenery in the distance and the busy traffic on the street."

He didn't dare to say that she left after diagnosis several times.

He will stand here and keep looking at her until he can no longer see her.

Yang Ruoqing had no intention of trying to figure out the secret Zou Lin'er was hiding in her heart.

When she heard Zou Lin'er's words just now, she felt a little distressed.

People, like birds, yearn for freedom.

Zou Lin'er's world is the courtyard behind the county government office.

Although the courtyard is decorated like a world in a picture scroll.

But no matter how beautiful or big it is, it will be boring when you go deep into it.

The world outside the yard is what he yearns for.

"Lin'er, do you want to go shopping?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Zou Lin'er nodded.

"Many times I sat in this pavilion and fantasized about entering the restaurant over there..."

Zou Lin'er raised her hand and pointed to a two-story building in the distance.

"But my mother won't let me go out because she's afraid I'll get sick outside..."

His voice weakened and his arms dropped, looking discouraged.

Yang Ruoqing went up and held his hand.

"As long as you listen to me, take your medicine and do some rehabilitation, and wait until the end of the year and the New Year, I will take you to my house to play, okay?" she asked.
