Li Yue jumped out of the carriage, and Tie Chuanjia helped the old doctor.
She did not follow the old doctor and the youth into the house. Instead, she stood outside the house and waited.
The cold wind blew at the bottom of the cliff,
Tie Chuanjia stood over to block most of the cold wind for the little girl.
Li Yue smiled at Tie Chuanjia and wrapped her cloak tightly around her body,
Her gaze turned and moved to the main body of the house.
The entire house was made of wooden planks, and the roof was covered with thatch,
It was not covered with frost and snow,
Someone had obviously cleaned it.
The window was an old sliding window,
Because there was a patient in the house,
It did not open,
The paper on it was yellow and old,
But it was also neat and tidy, and there was no damage.
It had already snowed heavily during the Spring Festival,
But now, there were signs of snow again.
Li Yue breathed into her hands and watched the youth go in and out busily,
When he came out with a large basin of water, she saw the tears in the youth's eyes.
Li Yue did not see the old doctor come out,
She thought that he was still giving acupuncture to the patient in the house. She nodded slightly at Tie Chuanjia,
She followed behind the youth who was walking out.
The youth was going to the well not far away to fetch water,
Because his body was still small,
He could only carry half a bucket at a time,
When the basin of water was full, he put down the wooden bucket, suddenly propped his hands on the well, and lowered his head.
Although his voice was very soft, Li Yue could still hear the young man's sobbing. The sound made her heart clench inexplicably. She hesitated for a moment, but still moved to the young man's side and gently patted his back.
"That... the old doctor hasn't come out yet. The situation might not be that... then, you... forget it."
The person who was sick in the house must be the youth's close relative, and his condition was very critical.
So far, Li Yue had only worried about the drunk Li Xunhuan. She had never faced the situation of a family member who was seriously ill. She knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment. She just stood silently beside the young man and observed the movements in the cabin on his behalf.
Although the Spring Festival had passed, there were still no signs of spring. The sky was already covered by the darkness of night. Thick clouds covered the stars and the moon in the night sky. In the vast wilderness, there was only a faint flickering light in the wooden house. It was like a candle that had burned to the end and could be extinguished at any time.
Li Yue and the young man fetched water and boiled water outside the house, doing some work that they could.
When the doctor gave no orders, they sat together on the shafts of the cart and waited.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Tie Chuanjia was worried about the two children standing in the cold wind, so he advised them to go inside the carriage to avoid the cold. Li Yue was about to persuade the youth when the old doctor pushed open the wooden door and came out.
The old doctor's expression was very calm. He didn't feel joy at the timely rescue of the patient, nor did he feel pity for the patient being helpless. He didn't say anything and only signaled the young man to enter the house.
The door closed again. The old doctor carried the medicine box into the carriage and massaged his old arms and legs. Suddenly, he asked Li Yue, "What happened?
"Aren't you curious?"
Li Yue nodded and then shook her head:
"Old man, you are a good doctor."
The old doctor laughed, but it wasn't clear whether he was laughing at himself or at Li Yue. After a long while, he touched Li Yue's head and sighed:
"Little girl, don't be too stubborn and straightforward. Don't think too much and don't be too stubborn. The days are still long. It's enough. There's no hurdle that can't be crossed. If you really can't cross it, then the time has come."
Li Yue wanted to refute the old doctor's idea, but she didn't say anything in the end. She just nodded silently. She knew that the old doctor was talking to her, but more importantly, he was referring to the patient in the house.
The patient in the house didn't have any other illness. It was the most difficult heart disease in the world.
Since it was a heart disease, no matter how skilled a doctor was, he couldn't do anything about it.
At this time, there shouldn't be enough time to return to Shuo Zhou City. The weather was getting worse and worse. The wooden house was so small that it definitely couldn't fit five people, even if two of them were children.
Tie Chuanjia had always been experienced in life. Just as he was planning to drive the old and young to a place to take shelter from the wind for a night, the door of the wooden house creaked open. The youth walked out of the house to the side of the carriage and reached out to lift the curtain:
"Li Yue, my mother... she wants to see you."
The little girl was stunned for a few seconds before she quickly jumped down from the carriage. The youth walked with her to the side of the wooden house, but he didn't go in with her. Instead, he guarded the door and carefully closed it.
Inside the house, there was a woman wearing a plain white dress. She was quietly examining Li Yue.
Li Yue and the people of the same age in her world had all heard of Bai Feifei's name. But most of them had heard of her from TV dramas, and a few of them had heard of her from novels.
Li Yue was the former. At this moment, the woman in front of her didn't look like the actress in the TV dramas, but she clearly knew that she was Bai Feifei.
Even though she was a mother, a patient with a pale face and pale lips, Bai Feifei still looked graceful and graceful, like a delicate and delicate young girl who was like a water lotus.
The corners of her eyes, eyebrows, and facial features were all delicate and soft. But the light in her eyes was cold. Her heart was hard and cold.
Li Yue wanted to find something to say to break this uneasy silence. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Instead, it was Bai Feifei who spoke first.
"Hoodlum told me that you were the one who invited the doctor."
Bai Feifei's tone was incomparably calm. She wasn't asking Li Yue, but simply stating the facts.
Li Yue knew that Bai Feifei and her son didn't like to owe others favors. She was worried that Hoodlum would be punished by Bai Feifei because of this. She also didn't want Bai Feifei to be overly worried even though she was sick. She could only think of a way to defend herself.
"Yes, but … uh, Hoodlum also … helped me a lot before. This time … I'm just returning the favor. Even if he owes me, it's only money. Anyway, he's still young, and so am I. The money … will be paid off eventually."
As she spoke, Li Yue didn't know what she wanted to say. Bai Feifei had been in the jianghu for many years. She had eaten more salt than rice. Lying in front of Bai Feifei was obviously not a wise choice.
Li Yue's voice became lower and lower. Bai Feifei didn't interrupt her. When she finally stopped, Bai Feifei suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation.
"Where are your parents?"
"They're not in this world anymore. But later on, I met Uncle Li, that is, Li Fei Dao. Later on, when I went to Shuo Province, I happened to meet Hoodlum, so I really … uh … helped him."
Helped him?
Just because she wanted to help him?
A long time ago, someone had said something similar to Bai Feifei. But whether it was that person or whoever it was, their figure gradually faded away in Bai Feifei's memory. She took something out of her sleeve. Her eyes flashed with imperceptible nostalgia.
Bai Feifei didn't pause. She directly handed it to Li Yue. Li Yue took it in her hand and realized that it was a jade pendant.
The jade pendant was top-grade mutton fat jade. It was warm and delicate to the touch. Apart from the fact that it was made of good material, it was also inseparable from the touch of a person.
The front of the jade pendant was engraved with the character "Shen". Li Yue had never seen a strange pattern engraved on the back.
Li Yue looked at the character and was speechless. Her heart was filled with a series of exclamations and questions.
Bai Feifei looked at the little girl's hand, which was whiter than mutton fat jade. She closed her eyes slightly and opened them again.
"I don't like to owe people anything, and I don't want my son to owe anyone anything.
So, this jade pendant is for you. You can pawn it. This jade pendant is enough to pay for your doctor's expenses. In addition, I'll tell you one more thing. You have to remember to tell Li Xunhuan. Never, never, ever go to the desert. Stay away from a woman named Shi Guanyin. "
Bai Feifei always spoke in a flat and straightforward manner. But these words set off stormy waves in Li Yue's heart. Especially the last three words, which made her directly suck in a breath of cold air.
Bai Feifei noticed the little girl's emotional change. Her expression was indifferent, and her voice was cold.
"You seem to have heard of Shi Guanyin. You also know what fear is. That's good.
If you know fear, you won't cause big trouble.
Most of the people who cause trouble don't know what fear is. "
As she spoke, Bai Feifei's gaze shifted slightly. She looked at the little girl's clear eyes and seemed to think of someone. Her expression was slightly complicated, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she ordered Li Yue to leave.
Li Yue still had many questions in her heart, but she knew that Bai Feifei didn't want her to be too entangled with the Hoodlum. Strictly speaking, Bai Feifei didn't want anyone to be entangled with her and her son.
Li Yue didn't want to owe Bai Feifei and her son a favor, nor did she want Bai Feifei and her son to owe her a favor. She could only suppress the doubts in her heart and wait to go back and ask Li Xunhuan.
When the little girl came out of the room, the young man and the Bearded Man were still standing in their original positions. There was a lot of snow on their bodies. They didn't look like living people, but more like sculptures.
Li Yue nodded at Hoodlum and stepped on the shaft of the carriage without hesitation. Before entering the carriage, Hoodlum stopped her.
"I will definitely do what I said."
"Okay, I know."
Li Yue smiled and sat in the carriage and waved at Hoodlum.
"The doctor left the pharmacy to you. Take good care of your mother."
Hoodlum didn't reply. He just pursed his lips and stood in place.
Tie Chuanjia swung his whip and the carriage galloped into the distance. A moment later, Li Yue lifted the curtains and looked behind the carriage. All she saw was a light in the vast expanse of white land and a small black dot.
"Since the ice and snow are so hateful, do you want to take revenge?"
"How?"
"Sell them."
Without waiting for the boy to respond, Li Yue pulled him and ran out. She first dragged Zhu Er, who was holed up at home, out of the alley in West City. She also packed Zhu Er's bucket, basket, knife, and stool.
Then, the three children came to the vicinity of West City. Li Yue took off her cloak and spread it on the ground like a stall.
The boy was responsible for fetching water and digging ice, Li Yue was responsible for brainstorming, and Zhu Er was responsible for sculpting. The three of them had a clear division of labor and openly started a business selling ice sculptures.
