Chapter 192 Follow Them
A wooden stake suddenly appeared behind Xia Yunshu. How could she let outsiders see her while the young lady was still on the cart? Besides, this man looked so...shabby.
He was about to speak when Xia Yunshu glared at him and stopped him. "Don't cause me any trouble. I know what I'm doing," Xia Yunshu warned in a low voice as she passed by him.
The wooden stakes followed behind, and the others followed in an orderly fashion. Helian Yue sat in front of the carriage, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for Gu Yunqi to return.
Upon reaching the cart, Xia Yunshu helped Xia Yunsheng up and gently comforted her, "It's alright, sister. Those two young masters will help us."
Gu Yunqi looked at her face and moved closer, only to find that Xia Yunsheng did not react.
That's strange. He looks so ugly now that any normal girl would be shocked if she saw him.
Despite the man's earlier plea for help, he clearly saw the shock and disbelief in the man's appearance at that moment.
"Young master, my sister... is blind."
Xia Yunshu gritted her teeth and said something, her face showing even more self-reproach.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have brought her sister along. Being punished by her father when she got back was a small matter, but what if something really happened to her sister?
Gu Yunqi scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and handed over the bundle he was carrying.
"I don't know exactly what medicine is inside, but do you see if there's anything for the eyes? You can take it with you."
"Thank you, young master. May I ask your name?"
Xia Yunsheng turned her head in the direction of the sound. Her thin face was slightly pale, her eyelashes were wet with tears, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.
Her voice was clear, like melted snow from a snow mountain—clean yet with a hint of coolness.
Gu Yunqi looked over upon hearing this, only to be met by her clear, bright eyes, but there was no reflection of him in them.
He suddenly felt a pang of regret; what beautiful eyes they had, it was a shame they were blind.
"My surname is Wang, you can just call me Wang Liu."
Xia Yunsheng nodded slightly and gently curved the corners of her mouth. "My name is Xia Yunsheng, and this is my younger sister, Yunshu."
"I apologize for my rudeness earlier, and hope that Young Master Wang will forgive me."
She looked apologetic, stood up and bowed to Gu Yunqi, who felt a little embarrassed by her gesture.
"No...it's nothing, just a small favor."
Xia Yunshu was looking for medicine when she heard this and secretly grumbled to herself.
A small favor? Hmph, she begged for so long!
These men are all no good; they act like this whenever they see a beautiful woman!
At this moment, she was actually a little relieved. Luckily, her sister was blind, otherwise she would have been shocked to see her older brother's appearance.
She subtly moved closer to Xia Yunsheng to block Gu Yunqi's view, and her hand movements as she searched for the medicine became increasingly urgent.
She took out each bottle of pills, sniffed them, and after some picking and choosing, finally picked out three small porcelain bottles.
"Thank you, Sixth Young Master Wang."
She tied the bundle tightly and presented it with both hands, looking incredibly sincere.
Each of these medicines is of excellent quality, indicating that a great deal of effort was put into their preparation. The three bottles of cough medicine she took must be more effective than the ones she had used before; she could tell the difference just by smelling them.
Unfortunately, there was nothing there that could treat her eye condition, which left her a little disappointed.
That makes sense. My sister's eye condition was something she was born with, so how could it be so easy to cure?
I've seen countless famous doctors over the years, but it's still the same old story.
"Cough cough...cough cough"
Xia Yunsheng suddenly started coughing again, his sickly pale face turning slightly red from the difficulty in breathing.
Gu Yunqi was startled by the sudden coughing. "Quickly feed your sister her medicine!"
He pointed at the medicine in Xia Yunshu's hand and said angrily.
Oh my god! This girl is so unreliable! The older sister looks like she's about to cough her lungs out, and the younger sister is just standing there like an idiot!
"Huh? Oh! Oh!"
Xia Yunshu quickly poured out one pill from each of the three bottles, then took the water bag from her waist and fed the medicine to Xia Yunsheng.
Not long after, Xia Yunsheng stopped coughing, but he leaned weakly on Xia Yunshu's shoulder as if all his strength had been drained, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Young Master Wang, I need to let my sister rest, you..."
Xia Yunshu glanced at Gu Yunqi. Although it wasn't appropriate for her to send him away since he was her savior, her sister really needed to rest right now.
Gu Yunqi turned around and walked towards his own carriage without any hesitation.
He walked very fast; if he dawdled any longer, Ah Yue would definitely scold him!
As the fog slowly dissipated, Helian Yue was able to see the group of people not far away.
There was only a dilapidated cart, looking rather pathetic, and he remembered the jade pendant.
He didn't care whether he repaid this small favor or not; they still had a long way to go.
Gu Yunqi ushered him into the carriage, put on a coat, and started driving.
The carriage sped past Xia Yunshu and the others, kicking up clouds of dust, which made Mu Zhuangzi cough a few times.
"Second Miss, should we follow them?"
Xia Yunshu squeezed the three bottles of medicine in her hand, intending to say she didn't need them, but the refined-looking man spoke first.
"Why not follow them? They clearly know the way. Following them at least gives us a direction, which is much better than us wandering around like headless flies!"
He slapped the wooden stake on the head, thinking that the kid's name was well-deserved.
The wooden stake felt like it was seeing stars.
Ah! This Feng Qian! He looks so frail, I never imagined he had such a strong grip!
The manor lord should have let him learn martial arts when he was a child! He could have easily killed half a person with two slaps.
"Second Miss, are we really going to follow them?"
He rubbed his head and asked Xia Yunshu, only to see her swallow and move away from Feng Qian.
"Just follow them, listen to Feng Qian... you won't get lost if you follow them."
She almost said she didn't need to follow, wondering if she would get slapped by that strong guy like the wooden stake.
When she came out, her father specifically told her that if she made a mistake, he would take care of it for her.
Feng Qian coughed lightly, subtly moved his slightly numb hand, then pushed the cart and called to the others, "Zhuangzi, help me push the cart."
"Ling Chi, run fast and catch up with those two young masters' carriages. Remember to leave us a mark."
The others dispersed and followed them in the shadows to protect the two sisters.
Xia Yunshu wanted to help push the cart, but Feng Qian forced her to sit on it.
"Second Miss, please take good care of the Eldest Miss. Leave the rest to us."
Xia Yunshu nodded silently, lifted the swaying curtain, and glanced at Xia Yunsheng lying down.
Her complexion had returned to normal and even regained some color; her eyes, which seemed to be behind a thin film, were now filled with guilt.
"It's all my fault for having such a weak body; I've ruined everything for you all."
Her slender fingers were tightly intertwined, and her brows were furrowed.
If I hadn't suddenly fallen ill, I wouldn't have spent so much money. To make matters worse, we encountered a group of bandits who separated us all.
Xia Yunshu bent over and squeezed inside, causing the curtain to sway even more violently.
She gently sat down and reached out to touch Xia Yunsheng's smooth forehead.
Feeling a slight smile on her forehead, she said, "How can you blame me, sister? It's all my fault for taking the wrong route; otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in this godforsaken place."
