Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 168 Don't Mind Your Own Business
The conditions here are limited, and many details cannot be tested.

"Notify the people from the government to come and collect the corpse. Pay attention to this matter and let me know the results of the autopsy."

Xuan Ming nodded: "Yes."

Xu Ruqing stood up and looked around. As night fell and the lights came on, under the bright and dim light of the lanterns on the street, she always felt a gaze focused on her.Those were two beams of eyes like flames, she didn't know where they came from, they slightly scalded her.

She walked towards the end of the street under the scorching gaze, when suddenly a black figure flashed past her, like a ghost.

"Since you brought me here, why don't you show up now?"

"call out--"

A sharp dart shot towards Xu Ruqing's life gate from a dark corner, Xu Ruqing quickly turned sideways, dodging the attack effortlessly.

The dart didn't hit Xu Ruqing, but a wooden pile behind him suffered disaster. There was a piece of paper where it was hit. Xu Ruqing stepped forward and took it in his hand. When he unfolded it, there were six large characters written on it:
Don't mind your own business.

"Thank God, I finally found you, Wangfei." Zhiqu ran over panting, she didn't look at Xu Ruqing for a while, she didn't expect Xu Ruqing to disappear when she turned around, but Zhiqu was very anxious.

"Princess?" Compared to Zhiqu's anxiousness, Xuanming seemed much calmer. He knew that Xu Ruqing knew martial arts, and she was not impulsive. He guessed that she came here because she discovered something.

Xu Ruqing put the note away calmly, and nodded in response to Xuan Ming's guessing eyes: "Well, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we'll talk about it when we go back."

Xuan Ming brought the carriage, and Xu Ruqing and Zhiqu sat in it. As soon as the carriage set off, they saw a woman rushing towards them in a panic.

"Help, help!"

The woman calling for help was wearing an apricot-yellow winter dress with a stand-up collar. She looked back while running, as if she was being chased by a ghost.

"The strong man help me, someone is going to kill me!" The woman saw the burly Xuan Ming with sharp eyes, and hid behind him without any explanation.

Xuan Ming jumped out of the carriage almost without thinking and pulled the woman over to protect her behind him. He pulled out the saber on his waist and looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see any suspicious figure after looking for a long time.

"You said someone was going to kill you, what about people?"

The woman hadn't recovered yet, and was out of breath. "I don't know, he was still following me just now, probably because the strong man is not an ordinary person, so let's go wisely."

"You, a woman, don't stay at home and embroider, what do you do when you come out at night?"

The woman bit her lower lip, with a look of loneliness in her eyes. "A strong man doesn't know something. I'm not a local. I don't have a home here."

"Then why did you leave your hometown?" Xu Ruqing asked.

When talking about this woman, she couldn't help but feel sad, and she covered her face and sobbed and said: "The little girl lives in the northern wilderness. Half a year ago, there was a flood in my hometown. After the flood, there was a plague again. Unfortunately, my family was caught in the plague. They died one after another. I went to Bianjing alone to seek refuge with my relatives, but I didn’t want my distant uncle to take me in, so I fell down and wandered on the street alone.”

Xu Ruqing sighed slightly when she heard the words, she was an orphan girl with no parents.

"What's your name?"

"The little girl's name is Yan Xiang'er."

Xu Ruqing looked up at the sky, it was completely dark now, she really couldn't rest assured that she was left as a girl on the street where unexpected dangers could happen at any time.

"I have five taels of silver here, enough to keep you well fed for a long time. I will ask my guards to take you to a nearby inn."

"Madam, I don't want this money." Yan Xiang'er refused without thinking.

Xu Ruqing frowned in confusion.

Yan Xiang'er explained: "The place of the inn is mixed with fish and dragons, and I was forced to wander here because of inhuman encounters."

"You can't keep wandering, can you?"

Yan Xiang'er followed Xu Ruqing's words and said, "I wonder if Madam can take me in? Xiang'er is willing to be your cow or horse."

Xu Ruqing hesitated: "This..."

"Little girl, I beg my wife, I really can do anything, you can let me chop firewood and pick dung, please take pity on the poor little girl, give the little girl a place to live." Yan Xiang'er thumped Kneeling down on the ground with a bang, his head hit the ground with a muffled thud.

Xu Ruqing glanced at Xuan Ming and asked him what he thought.

Xuan Ming nodded slightly after meeting her eyes. In his opinion, this woman is not aggressive. If what she said is true, he can consider taking her in for a while.

"Okay, come up and go back home with us."

Yan Xianger was overjoyed, and kowtowed to Xu Ruqing a few more times: "Thank you Madam, thank you Madam."

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the three of them successfully arrived at Wei Wangfu.

"You will live here from now on, if you are new here, you can ask me anytime if you don't understand anything."

Yan Xiang'er took a look at her living environment. The room was not big but the sparrow was small and well-equipped. "Okay, thank you, Miss Zhiqu."

"Don't thank me, you should thank the princess, it was the princess who showed mercy and took you in."

"Yes, the princess' great kindness and virtue Xiang'er will never forget."

After explaining a few irrelevant words, Zhiqu went back to his room to rest.

Yan Xianger looked out through the gap in the window, looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then said to the screen behind her: "Come out, the person has already left."

As soon as the words were finished, a man walked out from behind the white screen embroidered with pictures of ladies from the south of the Yangtze River. The man looked feminine, and he was wearing a crimson corseted uniform. The most special thing was his pair of dark eyes, which seemed to be full of conspiracies.

"Xiang'er, how is your injury?"

In front of men, Yan Xiang'er showed her true side without any scruples. In fact, she has always been extremely weak, and she had to pretend to be a normal person just to deceive others.

Yan Xiang'er limped to the Eight Immortals table and sat down. She leaned against the man's arms, and then slowly undressed, letting the man stare at her naked.

When he saw the hideous wound on her body, the man gasped.

He stretched out his hands to touch the festering and festering wounds on the knee, collarbone, and arm respectively. They were wounded by Xu Ruqing's revolver a few days ago. The wounds were deep. The medical level of this era is unable to remove the bullet from the flesh. The bone was removed, so these wounds had to be procrastinated and became seriously ill and turned into a pile of dead meat, which attracted many maggots to gnaw frantically in the meat hole.
