Jiang Wan grinned, "Then tell me first, and I'll consider it."
Yan Li's mouth twitched. "I want you to watch Chen Zhou for me. I have to leave for a while and can't take him with me. You have to stop him from looking for me."
Jiang Wan hissed, "I can do that, but Uncle, the way you're saying it sounds a bit ominous, like you're going to your death."
"If that's the case, then we need to settle the bill first. Otherwise, if something happens to you, won't I have worked for nothing?"
Yan Li really wanted to slap her.
But in the end, he took out a silver note and was about to hand it to Jiang Wan, but then he retracted it. "What if you don't watch him properly?"
Jiang Wan reached out and snatched the silver note. "If he can take half a step out of this small mountain village, I'll return this silver note to you intact."
Even if something happens to you, I'll burn it for you.
Yan Li had no other choice. He had to attend to that matter immediately, and Gu Chen Zhou absolutely could not go.
However, in Yao County, the only person he could trust besides Divine Doctor Jin was this little girl.
It wasn't suitable for Divine Doctor Jin, and Divine Doctor Jin couldn't cure Gu Chen Zhou's illness.
Therefore, handing him over to Jiang Wan was the most suitable option.
This little girl, although only five or six years old, was cunning and clever, and should be able to manage Gu Chen Zhou.
After much deliberation, Yan Li took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Jiang Wan. "Take this. If he's disobedient, give him a pill."
Jiang Wan asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Ruan Jin San (Soft Tendon Powder). Take one pill, and the effect will last for half a month. If I'm not back in a month... don't give him this medicine anymore. Too much will harm him."
Jiang Wan was shocked for a second. This Uncle Yan was truly ruthless to ask her to poison his own disciple.
"Uncle, what if you don't come back in a month, and he still wants to find you?"
Yan Li lowered his eyelids. "It's fine."
Alright, Jiang Wan understood. It meant that after a month, those who should die would be dead, and those who shouldn't would have already left.
Yan Li reached out and smoothed Gu Chen Zhou's hair, then stood up and left resolutely.
Jiang Wan felt as if his departure carried a tragic aura of a warrior going to his death.
For the sake of the money, Jiang Wan shouted towards Yan Li's retreating back, "Uncle Yan, you must return safely!"
Yan Li's figure paused slightly, then he raised his hand and waved, quickly disappearing from Jiang Wan's sight.
"Sigh, it makes one feel a bit uncomfortable."
Jiang Wan shook her head, turned to look at Gu Chen Zhou lying on the ground, and then at the small wooden house he had utterly destroyed. She felt a headache coming on.
Such a big living person, where should she settle him?
This small courtyard was no longer habitable, and if she really gave him the poison and left him alone here, any sudden situation would mean he could only wait for death.
She took people's money and helped them solve their problems; she was very professional.
So Jiang Wan picked up Gu Chen Zhou and, half dragging and half carrying, brought him down the mountain.
As she went down the mountain, no one was home. Her eldest and second brothers were working in the fields, and Wang Hongye was out for a walk with Su Shi. It was the perfect opportunity.
So Jiang Wan quickly stuffed Gu Chen Zhou into their horse-drawn carriage, preparing to take him into the city.
She planned to find an inn for Gu Chen Zhou in the city. After all, her home was small, and her mother and sister-in-law always ran into her room. Hiding Gu Chen Zhou in her own room would be too difficult.
But settling him in an inn would be much easier.
Inns were safe, and there were waiters and staff, so she wouldn't have to worry about Gu Chen Zhou's meals. It was simply too convenient.
Driving the carriage into the city, she encountered Su Shi and Wang Hongye walking back.
"Wan Wan, where are you going?"
Jiang Wan casually told a lie, "I'm going to play with Aunt Cheng."
Su Shi, worried about her going alone, said, "Then let Aunt Wang accompany you."
Jiang Wan waved her hand. "No need. I'll be there soon by carriage. Aunt Hongye, you must keep a close eye on my sister-in-law, don't let her go out alone."
After speaking, Jiang Wan flicked the whip and drove the carriage away. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Upon entering the city, Jiang Wan headed straight for a medium-sized inn.
As she got out of the carriage, Jiang Wan carried Gu Chen Zhou face down. The inn's waiter hurried out to help, "Young lady, let me help you."
Jiang Wan waved her hand. "No need. Give me a mid-range room."
The waiter quickly led Jiang Wan to a guest room.
Entering the room, Jiang Wan threw Gu Chen Zhou onto the bed. The waiter again came to help, but Jiang Wan stopped him. "Go get me a basin of water. I'll wash my brother."
Saying that, she took out a few copper coins and gave them to the waiter.
Rewarded, the waiter happily went to fetch water.
Jiang Wan took advantage of this gap to look at the room. It was over twenty square meters, simply furnished with a bed, a table, two chairs, a wardrobe next to it, and a washstand by the window. There was a privy behind the bed.
The room was on the second floor, not facing the street. Opening the window revealed a river, but it was a tributary, so it was very quiet.
Good, it was a good place for quiet recuperation.
The waiter brought the water. Jiang Wan didn't let him into the room. She took the basin, placed it on the washstand, put in a towel, washed her face first, and then proceeded to wipe Gu Chen Zhou.
Gu Chen Zhou was also very dirty and had several injuries, but they were not serious, so Jiang Wan only applied some powder to them and then ignored him.
After all, this person would have to lie in bed for a month, and this period was perfect for healing these injuries. It was good.
To prevent Gu Chen Zhou from causing trouble when he woke up, Jiang Wan directly used her abilities to temporarily mute him, and then forced a Ruan Jin Wan into his mouth.
Alright, done.
This thousand taels of silver was like picking it up for free.
Looking down at the sleeping Gu Chen Zhou, and then sensing the powerful, surging energy, Jiang Wan couldn't suppress her greed and reached out her wicked claws towards Gu Chen Zhou.
After a while, Jiang Wan withdrew her hand with an incredulous expression.
Gu Chen Zhou did not have any energy carriers on him. The only thing that looked valuable was a jade pendant, which only had some energy attached to it, but it did not generate energy itself.
Therefore, this energy was emanating from Gu Chen Zhou's body.
This...
It wasn't very scientific.
A mortal body, with a physical structure no different from ordinary people, so where did this energy come from?
Jiang Wan couldn't figure it out at all.
So she simply stopped thinking about it. While he was unconscious, she might as well sit down and absorb a good wave of energy.
Why think so much? Getting benefits was the main thing.
After absorbing for a full hour, and her internal energy reserves were saturated, Jiang Wan stood up with satisfaction.
Why did she feel like a pervert who was absorbing something to replenish herself?
Thinking that she couldn't stay here all the time, Jiang Wan closed the door to the guest room and turned to go to the real estate agency.
