Shiye listened for a while, then calmed down and shook his head at Qiao Yuyan, "It's okay! Let's go!"
"Girl, who do you want me to see? Why do you have to wait until night to leave the city without telling me? Now you have to crawl out in the middle of the night. Is this to see a doctor? Or is it a thief?"
Qiao Yuyan quickly apologized in a low voice, "Sorry to trouble you, Doctor Zhou. The situation is really special, so I can only ask you to suffer for a while. Don't worry, after the matter is completed, the consultation fee will definitely not be less."
Shiye took the doctor in front to clear the way for Qiao Yuyan. Although he said he was watching the few people leave, the three of them did not carry lanterns just in case, and relied on the weak starlight in the sky.
Not long after he walked out of the nunnery, a whistle suddenly sounded, and something came through the air behind him. Before Qiao Yuyan could react, he was thrown to the ground by Shi Ye.
"Hurry, catch them! It's really a scam!"
Qiao Yuyan was horrified, not knowing who was coming.
Shi Ye immediately pulled out a soft whip from his waist to block the intruder, "Girl, you take Doctor Zhou and leave quickly, I will block them."
"Girl, you go first, I'll stop them." Qiao Yuyan got up and looked at the figure blocking her behind. Suddenly, it overlapped with the scene in her previous life when she picked up leaves to stop the gangsters for herself.
Immediately, my heart ached unbearably, and the pain in my chest seemed to be burning, "Pick up the leaves!"
"Girl, you find a place to hide first. If anyone discovers it now, your reputation will be completely ruined!" As Shi Ye spoke, someone was already chasing after her, so she waved her whip to meet them.
Qiao Yuyan bit her lip. Could it be that because of her own changes, Shi Ye's fate was rewritten and the ending was advanced?
But where my mother is...
"Ouch, what happened to me!" Qiao Yuyan was still making a difficult decision, but Doctor Zhou on the side reacted faster than her and grabbed her arm, "You little girl, you are still confused right now.
What are you doing? If you don't leave, wouldn't that little girl stop you for nothing?"
Qiao Yuyan was pulled by him and ran. She couldn't tell the direction, so she could only move forward one step at a time.
Unfortunately, before the two of them ran very far, they heard a voice coming from the other direction, "There! That's it. Grab her quickly and don't let her run away. It's just as the noble man expected!"
What noble person? Qiao Yuyan's mind was spinning rapidly, and her heart was even more anxious. Aunt Pei had discovered her intention. Wouldn't her mother be in danger?
If she was trapped here now and couldn't inform her mother, wouldn't what happened in her previous life happen again?
This time, she didn't want Doctor Zhou to hold her back, so she ran forward as hard as she could. No matter what, if she got away from these people first, she would have a chance to go to Qilizhuang!
Even if she didn't bring a doctor, it would be enough to give Mrs. Xu some peace of mind. Even if she was regarded as a madman, she would still stop this!
As I was running, I realized that I had separated from Dr. Zhou, but I couldn't care less at the moment, as the footsteps behind me were getting closer and closer.
When I was knocked down by Shi Ye just now, was it an arrow that was shot at me?
With her running ahead like this, she was clearly a target. Even so, she had no choice but to run.
"Okay, Miss Qiao, don't run away."
A voice suddenly sounded in front of her. Qiao Yuyan couldn't stop her feet and almost fell down.
Under the firelight, he was actually surrounded by three or four people.
"Come with us! Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, we will not make things difficult for you. In a few days, we will ensure that you return to Qiao's house without losing a hair." The leader looked like he was not a kind person.
The fierce light in his eyes was clearly visible.
Qiao Yuyan felt like her calves were trembling, so she could only pinch her palms desperately to calm herself down.
"Who are you? Who sent you here?" In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but at this time, she couldn't find a way to escape, so she had to resort to dragging her feet first.
"Miss Qiao, there's no need to delay," the man seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance, waving to the others, "Tie her up, keep a tight watch on her, don't let her run away, and don't let her die!
"
Just as he finished speaking, a sudden sound broke through the air. Qiao Yuyan didn't see what happened at all, followed by a series of screams.
When the firelight flashed and the vision became clear again, the few people just now had all fallen to the ground and groaned. A tall and upright figure stood in front of her, holding a torch in his hand, like a god descending.
While Qiao Yuyan was stunned, the man slowly turned around and smiled at her, "Yan'er."
Under the firelight, every detail of his face was revealed. If it were said that everyone's appearance in the world was drawn by God, some people would just doodle carelessly, some people would just draw randomly, and some people would paint it carefully.
Then the person in front of me must have been carefully crafted by God sitting in front of the case with concentration.
The facial features and face shape are just right, a little harder and a little rough, a little softer and less heroic.
Qiao Yuyan had not seen this face for many, many years. When she saw it again, she felt her heart beating harder than before. This was probably unbelievable!
She stared at the other person with wide eyes, and then spoke for a while, with a dry tone, "Uncle Wen, why are you here?!"
This person turned out to be Uncle Wen Wen Tingyuan. She was the son of her grandfather's good friend. There must have been trouble at home, so she went to the Xu family.
His yard was right next to the waterside pavilion, and it couldn't be more elegant. When she was a child, Qiao Yuyan's favorite person in her grandmother's house, besides her grandmother, was Uncle Wen, who was always tolerant and doting to her.
Seeing the little girl's embarrassment, Wen Tingyuan put the torch aside, then took off his cloak, tied it on her slowly, and arranged the hair on her forehead before saying calmly: "Passing by."
He seemed to always be like this, unhurried and with a faint smile. No matter if she broke something of his or complained to him about being wronged, his expression never changed.
She raised her head and met his gentle eyes.
After returning to the capital in her previous life, she had never seen Wen Tingyuan again. Even the letters she wrote seemed to have fallen into the sea, with no response at all.
Looking at him at this time, it seems that it is only more than a year apart, but in fact, it is a whole life apart! At this time, it seems that he really feels like he is apart from another life.
Seeing that she looked wrong, Wen Tingyuan finally put away his smile and looked at her seriously, "Are you hurt?"
One sentence reminded Qiao Yuyan that now is not the time to miss the past. She grabbed Wen Tingyuan's hand and shook her head quickly, "Uncle Wen, I want to find my mother!"
Wen Tingyuan glanced at the little hand holding his own, curled up the corner of his mouth, and nodded lightly, "Okay."
