Mrs. Fan squatted in the corner, holding her head and shivering.
Gu Yilan glanced at her and went down to the cellar with a bowl of porridge. Before leaving, she told Duo'er: "You must eat all these dishes before I come back."
Duo'er's face turned red and she ate voraciously.
Mrs. Fan was furious and rushed towards her to snatch the food away when Gu Yilan appeared silently at the door and stared at her coldly.
Mrs. Fan lowered her raised hands feebly and lowered her head in fear.
Duo'er ate all the food in front of her in one breath and looked for water everywhere.
Gu Yilan handed over a pot of herbal tea. She drank half of it, then she hugged her round belly and said shyly: "Thank you."
Gu Yilan nodded, looked at the darkening sky and said, "I'm going out for a while, and I'll leave the people in the cellar to you to take care of."
Duo'er suddenly became very nervous: "He..."
She had seen that person once, and he was very beautiful, but he looked like he was about to die. What if he died here?
Gu Yilan said: "First, I will definitely come back.
Second, he won't die for the time being.
Third, no matter what he says to you, don't pay attention to him, let alone get close to him.
Fourth, make sure he is in good condition before I come back.
Fifth, don’t listen to anyone but me.
Sixth, if you do it, you will be rewarded when I come back."
After saying this, he disappeared quietly into the night.
Duo'er glanced at Mrs. Fan timidly, picked up the lamp and went to the cellar.
The cellar was not big. One side was piled with winter vegetables and radishes, and a person lay on the other side.
Jiang Yun was lying on the straw mat dying, his face had turned black, and his eyes were filled with terrible bloodshot eyes.
"Hey, little girl, you poor thing, just listen to me and I'll make you rich, okay?"
Duo'er pursed her lips, held the ax in her arms and stared at him motionless.
No matter what he said, she just pretended not to hear him.
"Let me tell you, that person is a monster, the kind that sucks blood..."
Duo'er burped with satisfaction.
No matter what others said to her, it would never be as useful as when Gu Yilan made her eat well just now.
As Jiang Yun talked, he stopped talking and turned his head away, motionless.
Duo'er was worried that he was dead, but she didn't dare to go over and test him.
She stared at him with wide eyes, pricked up her ears to listen for any noise, hoping that Gu Yilan would come back soon.
The border town is bitterly cold and poor, and most people turn off their lights early.
It was a long moonless night, with no light at all except the light from the snow.
Gu Yilan quickly jumped out of the only medicine shop in the city.
He walked through the dark and cold streets like lightning, shaking off the pursuers behind him in a few moments. He was proud that even though Gu Fenglin could guess, he couldn't catch him.
He walked to Duo'er's house smoothly.
Everything is business as usual.
Lady Fan sat on the kang, her face full of resentment, and she cursed Duo'er in a low voice.
There was a faint light coming from the cellar, and Duo'er sat holding an ax and staring at Jiang Yun.
"Duo'er." He called her.
Duo'er smiled in surprise: "Young Master, you are back..."
She stopped smiling and pointed at Jiang Yun: "Come and take a look, I think he is probably dead."
Gu Yilan jumped into the cellar lightly and leaned over to look at Jiang Yun.
At this moment, there was a loud "boom", and an iron grate made of fine steel was fastened on the cellar entrance.
Then, another huge boulder pressed up.
There was a clanking sound outside, like a blacksmith forging iron.
