“I won’t, but I must go back and get more medicine now.

“Someone has to go to town tomorrow to buy some warm and nourishing herbs for me to make a medicinal meal, so I guess I have to trouble Chengye.” Gu Chengrui said with a slight glance.

“Why don’t I write a list?” He said. “Chengye, you can go to town to buy medicine tomorrow.”

Gu Chengye looked a little embarrassed when he heard that. Then, he quickly shook his head and said, “You know medicine better, so you should go.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to help father rub his hands and feet.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he went to a second room to give Gu Chengzhi some instructions. Then, he brought Zhou Ying home and said, “Babe, I’m going to keep watch over there. If you’re afraid, you can sleep in the interspace. ”

“Alright. You should be careful too.” Zhou Ying took a pure wool military coat from her interspace and handed it to him.

Gu Chengrui paused for a moment after receiving it. After hesitating, he took off the leather layer and put it on. Then, he returned to the west room to grab two doses of fever and anti-inflammatory medicine, turned around, and left.

However, when Zhou Ying thought of Father Gu’s appearance, she couldn’t stop worrying. She took the pepper spray and followed him out.

She stood at the main entrance until she saw him turn into the door of their old residence. Then, she locked their door and went back to her bedroom to sleep.

At his old house, Gu Chengrui had just boiled some medicine, and the four people who had sent Father Gu and Second uncle Gu back earlier returned.

After Gu Chengrui learned they were injured, he immediately bandaged their wounds.

Then, he fed the two elderly men medicine and stood guard.

The two of them still had a fever in the middle of the night. In the end, he had to use an alcohol rub to suppress it.

The following day, Gu Chengrui went home for breakfast and was about to drive the donkey cart to town to deliver the goods when Zhou Ying followed him and said, “Rui, I’ll go with you to deliver the goods today.”

Gu Chengrui knew that she was afraid that he would be in danger. However, he also knew that it would be no help even if the two of them went together if he were really in trouble.

Just as he was about to refuse, Zhou Ying continued, “If you don’t let me go, then none of us should go. I’ll have someone pass a message to Manager Liu later and have them come over to collect.”

“You…”

“Rui, just bring me along.” Zhou Ying held his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, “You forgot that I have the interspace. If something really happens, we still have a way out.”

Gu Chengrui looked at how she was holding on to him tightly and knew he had to take her along. He said, “I can bring you along, but you must take out two bags of knockout powder and prepare an air gun for me.”

“Alright,” Zhou Ying prepared the things according to his request and brought the pepper spray she had taken out before.

Then, the two of them untied Er Zhuang and locked their house. They then rushed to town in the donkey cart.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the two wanted to ask Manager Liu if he knew someone had asked about the braised dishes, but he was not there.

The two had no choice but to turn around and buy the medicinal herbs for warming and nourishing purposes. Also, they sold five pounds of pueraria powder to Doctor Luo at a price of a hundred coppers per pound.

Zhou Ying used a basket as a cover after exiting the pharmacy and took out a pound of golden jujubes, a pound of longans, and a pound of goji berries.

When they reached the main street, they were about to return when five people suddenly jumped out of the alley and blocked their way. “Gu Chengrui, right? Our master would like to see you. Please come with us.”

After saying that, one of them went forward to lead the donkey.

His attitude was arrogant, with a posture that didn’t seem like he was inviting them but more like he was kidnapping them. The couple had to go even if they didn’t want to, having no say in their choice.
