Qi Qingxi was still worried about the girl's whip wounds all over her body just now. What if besides the cold, there is also a fever caused by wound infection?

To make matters worse, in this era without even antibiotics, it is really difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the doctor said that he can cure it, so I hope she will be lucky enough to escape this disaster.

Qi Qingxi couldn't help thinking about the scene just now, and instantly thought of a sentence said by a great thinker in her previous era: Seeing a wolf shows the nature of a sheep, and seeing a sheep shows the nature of a wolf.

It is obvious that I am also the target of being bullied at any time, but I have to cooperate with the bully to bully others, ugly human nature.

In fact, she is also an egoist, just like when she was bullied in the past, even if she gritted her teeth in hatred, she also dared not fight back.

Rescuing this girl this time is just a reminder of the self who swallowed his anger back then.

If she had someone backing her back then like she is now, it wouldn't be Li Qiuyue's turn to play wild in front of her.

Seeing that the girl beside him looked sad and sometimes angry, Gu Yu stepped forward and said softly, "Don't worry, this girl is lucky. This old doctor is a famous doctor in Jiangnan Road. cured."

Qi Qingxi heard Gu Yu's comforting words, thinking that Gu Yu must have misunderstood her.

Although she was worried about this girl, she was determined to live and die. She had done what she was supposed to do, and she had a clear conscience. The rest could only depend on the girl's own luck.

She just felt sorry for herself, but she didn't want to say more, she just nodded with a smile.

The girl's condition is unstable now, the most appropriate way is to keep her in the medical hall, there will be no great inconvenience if there is a female doctor in the medical hall.

Therefore, Qi Qingxi paid her medical fee and left.

After leaving the clinic, I went to Li's Mansion in Guangning Lane as planned.

From the moment he entered the alley, Gu Yu was introducing to her: "From the wall at the entrance of the alley to the middle of the alley, half of the alley is the house of the Li family."

Qi Qingxi: ...

The mansion has already started to be renovated, and the repair workers are pulling materials and doing work in and out.

Qi Qingxi thought that no one was watching and could go in and out at will, so she also raised her foot to go in.

Two people suddenly appeared to stop her, and Gu Yu immediately pulled her behind.

"You are not allowed to enter or leave here at will," the two said.

"I'm here to find Steward Li, my surname is Gu."

One of them nodded slightly, and trotted in to communicate.

Not long after, an old man who was over sixty years old came out, smiled kindly and saluted Gu Yu: "Master Gu, I don't know if your lord will come today, so I'm not far away to welcome you."

"Uncle Li, you are welcome. I brought someone here today." Gu Yu let Qi Qingxi behind him.

Without waiting for Gu Yu's introduction, that Uncle Li had already guessed Qi Qingxi's identity, and saluted happily: "It's Miss Qingxi, the master has already written to tell me that Miss Qingxi will be back."

Qi Qingxi also saluted him back, she had also heard Li Wenkang mention the old housekeeper.

When Li Wenkang was young, he started working in the Li family. Later, the Li family was murdered by a traitor. The Li family collapsed overnight, and Li Wenkang was almost burned to death in the courtyard.

It was Uncle Li in front of him who tried his best to save Li Wenkang from the sea of ​​fire, and almost lost an arm himself.

Qi Qingxi can still vaguely see the burn scar and atrophied muscles on his left arm from the movement of raising his hand.

For such a loyal and brave person, Qi Qingxi admired this Uncle Li for a while.

The front of the gate is not a place to talk, Li Bo took several people to the outer courtyard room to rest.

He turned around and said that he was going to make a pot of tea to invite Qi Qingxi and the others to drink tea.

Once inside the house, Qi Qingxi took off his hat to breathe.

It happened that Uncle Li turned back and saw Qi Qingxi's appearance, so excited that he almost threw the teapot on the ground.

Seeing this, Qi Qingxi and Gu Yu stretched out their hands to help him.

"It's all right." He stabilized his mind and put the teapot on the table.

Then he turned his head and looked at Qi Qingxi with tears in his eyes, and suddenly knelt down in front of Qi Qingxi with a plop.

Qi Qingxi was so frightened that he immediately stepped forward to help him up, but Uncle Li grabbed Qi Qingxi's arm and stubbornly refused to get up.

Uncle Li was already in tears at this time, and whimpered from time to time in his throat.

After a long time, he choked up his voice and said with difficulty: "I never thought that after so many years, I would have the honor to see Miss again."

Qi Qingxi was at a loss for a moment, she looked at Gu Yu as if to help.

Gu Yu nodded to her comfortingly. He had heard Uncle Li mention his deceased mother-in-law Li Ruoyue more than once.

Back then, Uncle Li didn't have a surname of Li, and he was far less stable and reliable than he is now. He was even a well-known gangster from all over the world.

Until that year, the drought that had not happened in a century, the farmland had no harvest, and the family had to go out to escape and rely on begging to survive.

But at such an age, there are still a few households with surplus rice.

So they can only eat some bark and grass roots to wrap their stomachs, and sometimes they can't even eat these, so they can only dig Guanyin soil to eat.

This situation lasted for two years. Later, the grandparents in the family starved to death one after another, and then the parents who left food to their brothers who would rather starve themselves disappeared.

After his parents left, Uncle Li grew up overnight, took on the responsibility of being an elder brother, and led his younger siblings all the way south to flee famine.

When they came to Linzhou Mansion, the youngest brother suddenly contracted a serious disease, but their brothers and sisters couldn't even afford to eat, so how could they have money to see a doctor.

In order to save his younger brother's life, he had no choice but to imitate others by planting weeds in the street and selling himself.

But most of the people who welcome us are just watching with cold eyes or swearing at them. What's more, if they accidentally meet a drunkard or a drunk, they will punch and kick him.

Time passed day by day, if no one bought him again, he would not get any more money, and the younger brother would surely die, so he couldn't help crying bitterly on the street.

At this time, a little girl carved in pink and jade came up and handed him a handkerchief, saying that she wanted to wipe his tears.

Afterwards, a lady came up and handed him ten taels of silver after knowing the situation, and told him to go to the doctor to help the younger brother, but she took the little girl away without mentioning that he would sell himself, and even None left.

Or after waiting for his younger brother to recover from his illness, he found the person who was present that day and found out that it was the wife of the Li family.

He came to the door and wanted to sell himself to repay his kindness, but the master of the Li family was a kind person. Not only did he not want his contract of selling himself, but he also gave him wages to work in the mansion, and even gave him a separate room for him. He took his siblings with him.

From then on, he decided to change his surname to Li to remind himself of the kindness of the Li family.

Also because Uncle Li has a grateful heart and has always done his best for the Li family without asking for anything in return, he was soon promoted to a small steward, and later the old housekeeper retired, and he took over the post of housekeeper.

He also had more chances to talk to Mrs. Li's family, and he learned from Mrs. Li that Mrs. Li didn't intend to save him at the beginning.
