Chapter 320 - 320 Senses
320 Senses
Madam Qin quickly thanked him. “Thank you, Doctor Sun.”
Doctor Sun waved his hand, picked up his medicine box, and left with a heavy heart.
“It’s cold outside. You can’t get caught in the cold.”
Yue Jiaojiao stood up with Madam Qin’s help.
“Madam Qin, how do you think I should write a letter to Zhao Zhan?” Yue Jiaojiao let out a long sigh. “He’s in a dangerous situation now. If he returns because of my letter and falls into Shang’s trap, what will we do if something happens. The point is, I don’t know where he is now.”
“My lady, I don’t understand these things, I’m sorry.”
Madam Qin was also worried.
“You’ve been with Doctor Sun’s for many years. Let’s focus on staying healthy for now. That means to get yourself warm.
“Zhap Zhan would definitely be worried about your health. However, I’m sure that he would want you to pick what’s best for your health.”
Yue Jiaojiao frowned.
There weren’t many detailed check-ups at the moment. The only thing she could know was whether the child in her stomach was still alive.
“Forget it. Yue Jiaojiao stepped into the house. “I need time to think about everything right now.”
Madam Qin stood at the back and watched Yue Jiaojiao’s back. She didn’t follow and turned to the kitchen to make her some tonic drinks.
Yue Jiaojiao rested at home for two days.
She didn’t feel any difference from her usual body, so she went to the workshop the following day.
“We’ve prepared everything you mentioned last time.” Gu Xiaoyu hurriedly put down her work when she saw her.
“When should we leave?”
Yang Dashan and Yang Maozhong wiped their hands and followed her.
“The goods have been checked.”
The journey from Willow Village to Huai County was a bumpy one.
She had heard that the first three months of pregnancy were important, so Yue Jiaojiao did not dare to be careless.
“Go to Huai County’s Hundred Flavors Restaurant and look for Li Xiangjun.” Yue Jiaojiao could tell what was more important. “I will write a letter for you to bring along. When you’re there, Li Xiangjun will help you take care of everything.”
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t know the exact reason behind Li Xiangjun and Fang Tianliu’s conflict.
However, as the manager, Li Xiangjun had always been quite capable. There was no reason for her to cut ties with the other party before she knew the truth.
Moreover, she had not had the chance to talk to Li Xiangjun about Fang’s salary.
“You’re not going?”
The three of them looked at each other.
The other party had resolved the trouble a few days ago very beautifully, and her skills had impressed and convinced them of her capabilities.
Now that Yue Jiaojiao had said that she wouldn’t go, they were all a little out of it.
“I have some matters to attend to, so it’s not convenient for me to go over for the time being.” Yue Jiaojiao had already entered the study and quickly wrote a letter. “I’ll get two of my attendants to accompany you. They know the way to the restaurant. By the way…” Thinking of Shang’s tricks, Yue Jiaojiao added, “Yang Lizheng will be following you. When you reach the town, he will go to the chief and ask someone to send you there. The chief can be considered half a government official. With them around, your journey will be safer.”
“Thank you for being so thoughtful.”
It was Gu Xiaoyu’s first time going to Huai County. So it was obvious that she was feeling nervous. She felt a little more at ease when she heard Yue Jiaojiao’s instructions.
“This trip to Huai County is of great importance for the workshop, so I’ll have to trouble you all to manage it well.”
Yue Jiaojiao bowed and thanked them earnestly.
The other three people waved their hands and bowed back.
Yue Jiaojiao stood at the village entrance and watched as the three of them walked away.
…
When Zhao Zhan left Hushui Town, he couldn’t avoid a fight with Shang’s people.
The two of them had exposed their whereabouts by accident.
Zhao Zhan was worried that Yue Jiaojiao didn’t want to be delayed, so he bought two horses on the way and galloped straight for Bei City.
The two of them had been on the road for several days. Their faces were rough and black, and their lips were dry and crusty. Only their eyes were extremely bright.
Fang Tianliu had never suffered like this before, and the roots of his legs were so worn out that they were bleeding. “Zhao Zhan, Shang’s people haven’t caught up with us these past two days. Should we take a break?”
“Alright,” he said.
Zhao Zhan choked on the wind the moment he opened his mouth. His voice was hoarse. “When we reach the next town, I’ll take you to the clinic to bandage your thigh before leaving again.”
“Ah?” Fang Tianliu hadn’t drunk water for a long time, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was rough. “What should we do after that? Shouldn’t we take a few days to rest, eat a few good meals, and have a warm shower before we set off again?”
“That can wait.”
Zhao Zhan was burning with anxiety.
These days, his eyelids had been wildly twitching, and his heart would skip a beat from time to time. He felt that something big had happened at home.
He was worried that it had something to do with his lover.
“Zhao Zhan, based on our current speed, I’m sure that we will reach the northern desert in less than half a month. I estimate that our horses will die of exhaustion after two more days.”
“You’re right. When we reach the next town, we’ll also change the horses.”
Zhao Zhan’s face was cold.
Fang Tianliu’s argument was in vain.
The two of them entered the next city after half a day.
“Fang Tianliu, go to the Medical Hall to treat your wounds. I’ll find you when I come back from the courier station.”
Fang Tianliu nodded in agreement.
Zhao Zhan found a place to write his next letter.
He put away the letter and turned around to see a stall selling jewelry.
There was a rough-looking pearl hairpin in the stall.
However, the pearl was not round. It was concave in the middle, like the heart shape that his lover usually drew on paper.
“How much is this hairpin?”
“Twenty coins.” The owner of the shop saw Zhao Zhan’s face and said, “If you really want it, I’ll charge you eighteen coins and then give you this.”
He handed over a baby bracelet.
Zhao Zhan linked his hands together.
“This… If you have a child at home, you can put it on their wrist. The knot on this bracelet is to ensure the child’s health and safety. You can take it home for good luck.”
“You can take the twenty coins.”
Zhao Zhan paid for the items.
The boss saw that he was honest and didn’t miss a single cent, so he gave him a free gift after it was wrapped beautifully.
Zhao Zhan put the hairpin into the letter.
Worried that Yue Jiaojiao would overthink things after seeing the baby’s bracelet, Zhao Zhan carefully stuck the red string to the spot closest to his chest.
In that case, perhaps his recent anxiety would improve.
He went to the relay station to deliver the letter. After Zhao Zhan was done, he went to buy two horses before taking them to find Fang Tianli.
“Are you done?”
Fang Tianliu raised his hand, and his eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Zhao Zhan! Behind you!”
