Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 365

Xiao Lian's injury was not serious, but it was very torturous and he suffered too.

Doctor Zhang asked someone to ask when he was going to treat the patient. Qin Xiang was a little worried about Xiao Chenyu, so she said he would wait for two days.

Xiao Chenyu said: "As long as you let Xiao Lian stay and take care of me, you can just go and do your business!"

Qin Xiang didn't get much sleep last night, but she only rested in fragments a few times. At this time, she was in a good state, but her mind was a little unclear.

"If you wait two more days, I won't be able to handle things calmly like you are now."

Besides, there were still many things she hadn't figured out yet.

Mrs. Su came over early in the morning and talked to Xiao Chenyu for a while. She didn't want to stay here for too long, so she left. But Lu'er didn't want to leave. He climbed up on the bed and sat next to Xiao Chenyu. Qin Xi saw them having fun. Okay, I didn’t bother you, turned around and went out.

Sun Jifei waited in the flower hall for a while. When he saw Qin Xiang coming in, he stood up and saluted.

Qin Xiang waved his hand and said, "Uncle Sun, sit down and talk!"

You don't have to look carefully to see the black and blue under Sun Jifei's eyes. It can be seen that he has not slept well for a long time.

Qin Xiang felt a little guilty in her heart, and felt that this was not the way to go. She should always ask for more trustworthy and useful manpower.

"Last night I sneaked into Dr. Zhang's courtyard and found that the lights in his room had been on all night, and there was constant movement in the house. In the morning, Dr. Zhang came out of the house, and I sneaked into the house and saw..."

Sun Jifei is a well-informed person, and he is also calm and indifferent. Even he has a look of unbearable sadness in his eyes, which shows that things are far more extreme than Qin Xiang imagined.

"I saw a large bathtub in the middle of the room, with firewood set up underneath. However, there was no firewood in the furnace, and there was a faint smell of blood in the room that was masked by the strong smell of medicine."

Sun Jifei walked around the bathtub and walked into the inner room behind the screen. The thick gauze curtain on the big bed hung down. Is there anyone on the bed?
So, Sun Jifei stepped forward lightly and used the tip of his sword to open the gauze curtain. He saw Zhang Tianyao lying on the bed, with the quilt covering his neck, revealing only an excessively pale face and black hair hanging down on the pillow. A sharp contrast.

Sun Jifei had only seen such paleness on the faces of dead people, so he possessed him and tried Zhang Tianyao's nose. Fortunately, there was still a weak breath.

Sun Jifei lifted the quilt and saw that Zhang Tianyao was fully dressed, with his hands on his abdomen and his chest rising and falling slightly. He looked like a sleeping patient. However, Sun Jifei smelled a stronger smell of blood.

So, he gently lifted Zhang Tianyao's wrist, and saw that his wrist was wrapped in thick gauze, and there was a little scarlet in the middle of the gauze, which was obviously soaked in blood.

Sun Jifei didn't need to take off the gauze, but he already guessed it.

Putting down his sleeves and covering himself with the quilt carefully, Sun Jifei looked at Zhang Tianyao who had only taken one breath and couldn't help but sigh.

There are countless injustices in this world, and Sun Jifei, who has long been used to seeing life and death, is also a little moved.

After listening to Sun Jifei's words, Qin Xiang told Sun Jifei the rumors that Doctor Li told yesterday.

Sun Jifei pursed his lips and said nothing, but clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands jumped.

Qin Xiang was a little curious: "Uncle Sun has always been calm, why does he seem to be particularly concerned about this heavenly medicine?"

Qin Xiang actually didn't know anything about Sun Jifei's past. It was because he was a good friend of Uncle Qi that he came to seek refuge, so he gave him a place to stay.

Later, he was protected and rescued by Sun Jifei many times, so he became sincere. "I have a younger brother who, if he is still alive, would be a few years older than Zhang Tianyao. He was also frail and sick since childhood. Later, in order not to be a burden to the family, he left home alone and went to the mountains and was never heard from again. That year, He is only eight years old, how can he understand the burden and find a place in the mountains to fend for himself? "

Sun Jifei smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my stepmother who is the instigator. She nags in his ear all day long and says things that irritate my little brother."

Qin Xiang blinked her eyes, put away her surprise, and asked: "Have you never gone up the mountain to look for him? A child shouldn't be able to walk far, not to mention he is still weak."

"I was working in the county escort bureau, and I happened to pick up a long-distance escort. When I came back a month later, I found that he was missing. After listening to the woman's words, I immediately went up the mountain to look for him. I searched for several days, and I found that he was missing. We searched all the mountains and rivers, but still no one was there.”

Sun Jifei was very calm when he said this, and his eyes did not waver.

He looked at the ground and said calmly: "Although I was angry, I guessed that it was my stepmother who instigated my little brother to go to the mountains, but there was no evidence after all. So, I smashed the house to pieces and then left the house. Rarely go back.”

Qin Xiang thought that the matter was over, but Sun Jifei was probably lost in his memories and had a strong desire to talk, so he continued: "Many years later, when I was guarding escorts, I met a traveling circus, and one of them treated children as The monkey is here to make fun of the show.”

Sun Jifei was indifferent to this and only took one look before leaving.

But later, by mistake, he got on a boat with this circus team again. It was also this time that Sun Jifei learned a secret. It turned out that his younger brother did not go into the mountains at all, but was sold to a passerby by his stepmother. Circus monkeys.

However, Sun Jifei found out too late. His younger brother had been dead for more than three years.

"My little brother is so sick and weak. I don't know how he survived for so many years after suffering so much?"

"On a rainy night, I went back to the house that made me sick. I questioned the woman and she denied it, but I could see her eyes evading. So..."

Sun Jifei raised his head, looked at Qin Xian and said slowly: "I killed her in front of my cowardly father, and then left."

"So." Qin Xiang didn't know what to say. It turned out that there was a murderer in her family.

Sun Jifei took over Qin Xiang's words: "So, I am a murderer and an unfilial son who killed my stepmother. If you can't keep me, I will have no complaints."

Qin Xiang frowned deeply, looked at Sun Jifei and said helplessly: "Why are you telling me this for no reason? I believe you haven't even told my father, right?"

Sun Jifei nodded, bit his back teeth, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said word by word: "Because, I want to kill old doctor Zhang."

Qin Xiang understood that he killed old doctor Zhang not to avenge Zhang Tianyao, but to put an end to his obsession. The guilt in his heart could not be let go, so he had to do something.

"Why on earth does Old Doctor Zhang want to become a medicine man? Is it really because he wants to help the world by hanging his pot to help the world? In order to become a famous doctor who will go down in history? I don't think it may be that simple, so this person cannot be killed now."

Qin Xiang did not say that he was not allowed to kill, but that he needed time. Sun Jifei was a little dazed, and for the first time he showed a different popularity than before.

"You, don't be afraid, I have killed people before!"

"What's so scary about killing people?" Qin Xi smiled faintly, her eyes slightly cold.

She has killed people too!

Although that happened in the past life, it was only a few years ago. Even if I sometimes dream back to that moment, it is still as clear as yesterday.

"Get ready. Let's escort Old Doctor Zhang to the Ninth Prince's Mansion with me tomorrow. We will tell Ninth Prince all these things and let them handle the rest."
