"Miss Cuizhu is really an emotional person." Ling Xuewei walked to Cuizhu's side and asked, "What's going on with your good sister?"
"Master Alchemist, my good sister is called Cui Yan. She fell from a height two months ago and has been coughing up blood. She has been recuperating for nearly two months. Not only is her health not getting better, but she is getting worse.
It's getting worse and worse. I've been in a coma since a week ago. Now I can almost only breathe out, not in..." Cuizhu talked about Cuiyan's condition, and tears flowed down again.
"It's a miracle that the injury lasted so long." Ling Xuewei then asked, "Miss Cuiyan's illness is so serious, didn't you ask the stewards to hire a doctor to treat Miss Cuiyan?"
When Ling Xuewei heard about Cui Yan's illness, she felt that another tragedy had been caused by delaying her illness.
"Our servants are cheap. If we get seriously ill, we are thankful to God if we can get permission from the stewards and not have to work. How dare we expect to be treated by a doctor? If we can survive it, we have escaped. If we can't, we can only complain."
My life is not good..." Cuizhu showed a wry smile, "Besides, we can't afford to hire an alchemist for treatment, even an ordinary doctor..."
After Cuizhu finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Ling Xuewei again.
Cuizhu also knew that she was out of ideas. Ling Xuewei was invited by Hongyue Lingxiao to come to Red Moon City to treat the city lord. This time, the alchemist competition in Hongyue City was aroused. Only the alchemist who got the top ranking in the competition,
Only then will they appear in the city lord's palace.
Although Cuizhu had never heard of Ling Xuewei's name, she knew that Ling Xuewei must be a very powerful alchemist.
She couldn't even give Ling Xuewei the minimum medical fee. She didn't know why she was so hot-headed just now, so she stopped Ling Xuewei directly.
I heard that alchemists only accept spiritual stones, and they won't look at ordinary gold, silver and jewelry.
Cuizhu has no gold, silver or jewelry, and her monthly salary is only two taels of silver.
Cuizhu closed her eyes in despair. She was even prepared for Ling Xuewei to get angry and call the guards to drag her down.
"The girl named Cuiyan is there, take me to see her!"
Ling Xuewei's voice penetrated Cuizhu's ears. The voice was so light that Cuizhu seemed to hear the sound of nature.
Cuizhu only knew that Ling Xuewei was talking to her, but she didn't hear a single word of what Ling Xuewei said specifically.
"Miss Cuizhu, please lead me the way!" Ling Xuewei sighed. She also knew that Cuizhu was so excited that she couldn't believe that what she was seeing was true.
An alchemist would show kindness to save an ordinary maid. This probably only appears in various legendary stories.
There are so many people in Middle-earth who need to be treated. Alchemists can’t even save cultivators, so how can they have time to care for ordinary people?
"Thank you, Master Ling! Thank you, Master Ling!" Cuizhu's mind seemed to have stopped functioning for a while. When she came back to her senses, she immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Ling Xuewei.
Ling Xuewei couldn't bear such a big gift.
Fortunately, she had quick eyesight and quick hands and stopped Cuizhu in time.
"Didn't you say that Miss Cuiyan's condition is very serious now? If you don't lead me quickly, I might not be able to save Miss Cuiyan in time." Ling Xuewei shook her head helplessly.
"Yes! Lord Ling, I will lead you right away!" Cuizhu couldn't help crying again, but this time she cried happily, "Master Ling, you are such a good person! I thought the alchemist was never
They don’t care whether we ordinary people live or die!”
"It is fate that we met in this small garden today. I have been quite bored living in the City Lord's Mansion for several days. I treat Miss Cuiyan's illness as a practice." Ling Xuewei was suddenly startled as she spoke.
, "By the way, Miss Cuizhu, I am a guest in the City Lord's Mansion now. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to follow you in this City Lord's Mansion..."
Ling Xuewei didn't dare to move around in the city lord's mansion these days. The city lord's mansion didn't know why, but it gave her a feeling of danger, so Ling Xuewei gave up the idea of checking around at night.
In fact, the most restless person should be Liu Wushang. In the past few days, Ling Xuewei and others have been invisibly restricted in their freedom.
The elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect must not be able to bear such a thing. Ling Xuewei thought that Liu Wushang, who had the highest cultivation level among them, would be walking around in Red Moon City. Anyway, Liu Wushang's cultivation level could definitely be used here.
You can come and go freely from the city lord's mansion.
But Liu Wushang was unexpectedly quiet.
Ling Xuewei and Qingcheng would leave Bieyuan every day to hang out in a small area, but Liu Wushang simply didn't even step out of Bieyuan's gate.
At first, Ling Xuewei thought that the dangerous feeling was because she was too sensitive, but the further she went, the more she felt that there were dangers everywhere in Red Moon City. If she dared to act rashly, there would be very serious consequences.
.
Ling Xuewei wanted to help the two maids in the city lord's mansion, but she really didn't dare to wander around here, especially before saying hello to the master.
"Indeed, in this City Lord's Mansion, even us servants are not allowed to move around at will." Cuizhu said quickly, "But Sir Ling, please don't worry. The place you are now is a villa in the City Lord's Mansion specially used to welcome guests. Cuiyan is now
The place to recuperate is in the outer courtyard. There are no restrictions on access to the outer courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Only the inner courtyard requires special caution."
"If that's the case, let's ask Miss Cuiyan to lead the way." Ling Xuewei nodded.
What Cui Yan said was similar to what she thought. The most dangerous place in Hongyue City was indeed the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard is inaccessible.
"Master Ling, please!" Cuizhu led Ling Xuewei from the front.
Ling Xuewei and Qingcheng followed Cuizhu through the courtyard gates one after another, and they turned out to be getting more and more remote.
This is already the outermost area of the city lord's palace.
Although it is very remote, it is not desolate at all.
This is probably where the servants of the city lord's mansion live. In the evening, the servants who have finished their work gather together to enjoy the rare leisure time.
Ling Xuewei had other thoughts, so she didn't want to be too high-profile, and Cuizhu obviously knew that she had invited an alchemist to treat Cuiyan, and how big a fuss would be made once word spread.
She privately asked the guests invited by Elder Lingxiao to treat Cuiyan, which was already against the rules. If this matter got serious, she didn't know what kind of punishment she would face.
Cuizhu did not dare to take Ling Xuewei to a crowded place. Instead, she took Ling Xuewei into the room where she and Cui Yan lived through a small door that no one usually came in and out of.
The room Cuizhu and Cuiyan lived in was very small, with only two small wooden beds, a square table and a cabinet. The room was very simple, but it was kept very neatly.
"Is this room just for the two of you?" Ling Xuewei looked around Cuizhu and Cuiyan's room.
Although the place is a bit small, Cuizhu and Cuiyan, as two maids who only do menial work, can have a small house where two people can live alone, so the conditions are quite good.
"This place was originally just a firewood shed. Cuiyan and I lived with other sisters at first, in a big house with more than a dozen people. Because Cuiyan's illness became more and more serious, everyone was afraid that one day Cuiyan would die.
He has expired. It is unlucky to die in the house. He is clamoring to drive Cuiyan out..."
Cuizhu bit her lower lip tightly.
"At that time, I tried my best to stop him. In the end, everyone was at a stalemate, so we decided to clean up the woodshed and let Cuiyan and I live here alone..."
"Miss Cuizhu is really a kind and righteous person." Ling Xuewei said with admiration.
These maids in the city lord's mansion are said to be good sisters, but most of them are the kind that turn against each other and don't recognize each other.
Like Cuizhu, who left everything to take care of Cuiyan alone, but was driven out of the place where he lived by other maids. Seeing that Cuiyan couldn't survive it, she would secretly hide and shed tears.
It's really hard for Ling Xuewei to see such a strong sisterly love that can stand the test.
Ling Xuewei feels that what she sees most is the plastic sisterhood.
When everyone's life is about the same, it's natural to say hello, me, hello, everyone, show off the deep love between sisters. When one party is in trouble, they will fall out faster than turning the page in a book.
"Although Cuiyan is about the same age as me, she is the 'old man' in the City Lord's Mansion. She almost grew up in the City Lord's Mansion. When I first came to the City Lord's Mansion, I didn't understand anything.
If Cui Yan hadn't reminded me time and time again and helped me deal with the aftermath, I might have been kicked out by the manager long ago."
As Cuizhu spoke, she walked to the bedside. She reached out and touched Cuiyan's forehead. The water-soaked handkerchief placed on Cuiyan's forehead had become a little hot to the touch.
Cuizhu picked up the handkerchief, wetted it again in the basin on the side, wrung it out again, and put it on Cuiyan's forehead.
"My family's conditions are not very good. I spent a lot of effort to get into the city lord's mansion. I can't lose this job. Cuiyan helped me so much at that time, but now she is in trouble.
So it's my turn to take care of her."
"Is Miss Cuiyan having a fever?" Ling Xuewei asked, looking at the handkerchief on Cuiyan's forehead.
"Yeah! Cui Yan's forehead feels like it's on fire, and her whole body is also very hot!"
As Cuizhu spoke, she grabbed Cuiyan's hand. She touched Cuiyan's arm, as if to confirm the temperature.
It became a habit for Cuizhu to go back to the room to take care of Cuiyan every day. For a moment, she almost forgot that Ling Xuewei was specially invited by her to treat Cuiyan.
"ah--"
Cuizhu exhaled softly and sat up from the bed in embarrassment.
"Master Ling, I'm really sorry. Please hurry up and treat Cuiyan! Her body has been getting hotter and hotter in the past two days. Her breathing was getting faster and faster before, but now her breathing is so weak that she can't even hear it.
