In the darkness, Gu Fenglin sat sideways by Mu Yunhan's bed, looking at her quietly.
"Grandma...save me..." Mu Yunhan struggled, grabbing his neck with both hands, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Gu Fenglin frowned and quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from scratching him.
Mu Yunhan started to cry: "Grandma... I'm sorry, it was me who dragged you down..."
She cried till she was hoarse and tears streamed down her face.
Gu Fenglin thought for a while, leaned down, hugged her into his arms, patted her shoulders and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Not sure if his comfort had any effect, Mu Yunhan gradually calmed down, turned over, wrapped himself tightly in quilt, curled up into a ball, and continued to sleep.
Gu Fenglin gave her a complicated look and walked out of the room quickly.
Xuan Da appeared like a ghost, knelt in front of him, and whispered: "There is news from the capital. The priest predicted that there will be an earthquake in the east of the river on the fifth day of May."
Gu Fenglin raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
The night sky is cool and cool, and a river of stars stretches across it, vast and bright.
The Big Dipper is eye-catching and dazzling, shining with mysterious light.
He said calmly: "In that case, let them prepare a batch of food."
"Yes." Xuanda stepped back respectfully.
Gu Fenglin walked towards the darkness without looking back.
At dawn, a ray of sunlight fell on Mu Yunhan's eyes. She covered her eyes with her hands uncomfortably, and it took a while before she sat up.
The muscles in my body were very sore, as if I had walked a long way, my mouth was dry, and my whole body felt uncomfortable.
Probably because of the change of environment, she had another nightmare last night, struggling in pain and unable to escape. During the most difficult time, someone seemed to be holding her hand and comforting her.
She looked at her hands, thoughtfully.
Does she also need to drink some of that tea to calm her nerves?
"Sister, are you awake?" Mu An happily knocked on the door: "It's time to have breakfast! Everyone is waiting for you."
"Here we come." Mu Yunhan resisted the discomfort and got out of bed, quickly washed his face and combed his hair and walked out.
Aunt Xuan also has good cooking skills, and her pickled vegetable and yellow croaker noodles are delicious.
Mu Yunhan lowered her head to eat noodles. She didn't see Gu Fenglin, not even Old Man Gu.
According to Aunt Xuan's explanation, Old Man Gu had something to do and left the house very early. Gu Fenglin was still at the county magistrate's house and had not returned.
After the meal, Xuanda wanted to take Mu Yunhan to the drug store, but Mu Yunhan declined: "I want to walk around and have a look. Uncle, go and do your work, and we will come back by ourselves."
Xuan Da didn't force himself and said honestly: "If there are people who don't understand, just tell me my name and they won't dare to do it."
Mu Yunhan smiled and thanked him.
Liuxian County is quite prosperous, selling everything. As the two siblings walked on the street, everything they saw was novel.
Mu Yunhan bought a candy man for Mu An, but he was reluctant to eat it and held it carefully: "I'll take it home and share it with Mom and Xiaoying."
Mu Yunhan let him go, watching all directions and listening in all directions, taking in all the information around him.
Along the way, I asked about the prices of various items and which shops carried them.
Arriving at the most prosperous intersection, the black background and gold-lettered signboard of Sun's Pharmacy jumped into view. There were many customers and the decoration was average.
Mu Yunhan went in and walked around, then came out. After asking passers-by, he turned around and went to another street.
Merchant Pharmacy and Jiangjia Pharmacy are both on this street, and their location is very special, with just two pairs of doors.
The decoration on the Jiang family's front door is very ordinary, but most of the people coming in and out are richly dressed people.
While the merchants are ornately decorated, most of the people coming in and out are poor people. (To be continued)
