Fortunate Wife

After thinking about it, Li Man still told Li Yan everything she knew. Seeing his face cooling down little by little, she sighed and advised, "Li Yan, don't blame Uncle Xu too much. , he also went to the doctor in a hurry, at a time like this, he is a lonely old man, who else can he turn to besides us?"

"You mean that the sick person was met in the county that night?" Li Yan was concerned about this.

Li Man nodded, and then said, "But this person is not the one who hurt us. After all, if it wasn't for him that night, we might not have come back."

"But they are together, aren't they? Do you still dare to stay here?" Li Yan looked at her suspiciously. Sometimes this girl is very smart, but sometimes she is also frighteningly dull. She actually stayed in the enemy's territory one day.

"Then what should we do?" Li Man was also distressed, "How about we talk to that person directly, although I have only met him twice, but I feel that he is completely different from the evildoer who hurt us, he looks quite upright , quite mild."

Including, she shook her hand today and accidentally stabbed him in the neck, but he didn't say anything.

"Then what if we can't reach an agreement? Then someone finds out that you are disguised as a man? How will you deal with it?" Li Yan asked back.

Li Man was asked directly.

Li Yan was almost done eating, so he put down his chopsticks, reached out and took her hand, "Come with me, as for Aunt Xu Boxu, let's find another way."

"But..." Just leave like this? Why was she suddenly panicked?

In a flash of her spirit, Li Yan got up, picked up the medicine bag she had put on the counter, walked over, and held Li Man's hand, "Let's go, let me go home first."

"Oh." With Li Yan helping her make up her mind, Li Man had no choice but to listen. In fact, in the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to stay in this strange place, and she was also afraid of meeting that evil Situ Qing again.

The two of them went out together, and a lamp was hung under the eaves of the porch. Even at night, the whole yard was clearly illuminated. Fortunately, there was no one living in the yard. The lights in Xiqiao and Huaner's house were off, so they must have slept. It was off, so the two quickly left the yard.

However, once out of the yard, the rest of the place was pitch black. Li Man couldn't tell the direction at all, so she held onto Li Yan's arm tightly, worried, "It's pitch black, can we go out?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Li Yan is extremely smart, and he has a near memory of the terrain and directions, so even if he walks at night, he can quickly find the way out.

With his words, Li Man was relieved a lot, followed him in the dark and didn't know where he was. Suddenly, from a distance, he saw a group of people hurrying over with lanterns.

Li Yan hurriedly hugged Li Man and hid behind a bush, which was probably remote, so those people took another detour.

Even though no one noticed, Li Man's heart was still beating wildly, extremely nervous.

In the darkness, Li Yan held her little hand tightly and smiled at her, "Are you scared?"

"Yeah." Li Man nodded honestly, this kind of sneaking behavior in the middle of the night made her feel like a thief.

Li Yan stretched out his hand and patted her on the head, "Don't be afraid, walk through this garden, climb over the courtyard wall, and you can go out."

"Oh." Do you want to climb over the wall? Li Man was very worried about whether her small physique could turn over, but Li Yan didn't let her think too much, taking advantage of the group of people walking away, he led her up and walked forward.

But just two steps away, some people came from another road with lanterns, and there was a girl's voice inside, "Doctor Li, where are you? Come out quickly."

When Li Man heard it, it was a joyful voice, "No, they found out that I was missing."

Li Yan hastily pulled her to get down, and the cat went behind the bushes, motioning her to stop talking.

Li Man clenched her lips, and raised her heart to her throat. At this moment, she heard someone shouting from the crowd, "Teacher, where have you been in the middle of the night? This has really troubled me, wow, you must be careful!" Don't worry—"

Li Man couldn't help looking at Li Yan, and said with her lips, "Uncle Xu?"

Li Yan frowned deeply, but he didn't want to let his woman go back after they got here. When these people were gone, he decisively grabbed her, "Let's go."

"Li Yan." Li Man hesitated, "Let's leave like this, will Xu Boxiqiao and the others be blamed? Besides, we didn't even leave a note, in case they think we were in an accident—"

Li Yan laughed, "We are running away, you still want to leave a note?"

"Can?"

"Let's go, the people here are not good people." Li Yan didn't care about Uncle Xu, and he would not hesitate to drag his woman into the water for his own woman. Based on this alone, it was polite not to chop the old man into a stick.

Hearing his cold voice, Li Man didn't dare to say anything, well, let's go home with him first.

But it seemed that they were bewitched. They just got up and took two steps, when another group of people came from the side with lanterns, and they called Dr. Li again, where are you?

They were clearly looking for him.

However, it is also strange, several teams have found this side, but no one took a lantern to take a picture of her side, and even Xu Bo’s team walked through their bushes, and they didn’t even come. Take a second look inside.

Does Li Man think this is their luck? But this luck is limited to this, because every time they waited for people to leave, just when they were about to leave, another group of people rushed out unexpectedly, as if waiting for them to appear, and then caught them.

Li Yan finally punched the air sullenly, "Let's go."

He suddenly squeezed Li Man's hand, and led her back.

"Why?" Li Man was puzzled.

Li Yan's voice was cold, "I can't leave tonight."

"Why?" The night was long, and it was still early before dawn.

Li Yan didn't speak, and only led her quickly along the way she came, and returned to Li Man's house again.

After closing the door, Li Yan held Li Man's nervous pale face and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, just stay for one night first, and I'll find another opportunity."

"But—" Seeing his cold and angry appearance, Li Man couldn't bear it, "Why don't we wait until late at night, if they can't find it for a while, maybe they won't find it."

How can I not find it? Those people clearly knew their whereabouts, and they deliberately searched for them like cats and dogs. Li Yan knew in his heart that he couldn't leave tonight, but he didn't tell Li Man the truth. It’s too fast, and my stomach feels uncomfortable, let’s choose another time to leave.”

"Stomach upset?" Li Man quickly supported him, "What should I do then? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. I probably ate too much. I'm a little bloated. Help me to lie on the bed for a while." Li Yan put his hand on her shoulder.

Li Man hurriedly hugged his waist with one hand, helped him to the side of the bed and sat down, then turned around and poured him a glass of water, "This water is a bit cold, can you drink it?"

"I'm not thirsty—"

Li Yan shook his head when there was a knock on the door, "Doctor Li, are you back?"

"It's Xiqiao." Li Man whispered to Li Yan.

Li Yan closed his eyes depressed, "Go back to her."

"Oh." Li Man turned and walked to the front hall, and replied, "It's me, Sister Xiqiao? Is there something wrong?"

"Doctor Li, are you really back? Where did you go just now? We are so worried."

Li Man frowned, when they left just now, the lights in Xiqiao's room were off, she must have fallen asleep, how did she find out that he was gone.

"Oh." Through the door, Li Man replied calmly, "Did something happen? I was a little anxious just now—"

"So that's how it is." Outside the door, Xiqiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said, "The master sent someone to look for you just now, we knocked on the door many times, but we didn't see your answer, and we thought something happened to you , so we boldly opened the door and came in, but we didn’t see you, we were so scared that we hurried to find the nursing home, and searched everywhere.”

"..." Li Man was speechless, so it was like this? They were unlucky enough, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry, so I went out for a while, I don't know what you are looking for."

"It's okay, Doctor Li, the master is still waiting, can you come with me now?" Xi Qiao asked again.

Li Man's heart skipped a beat, "Now?" She looked at the back room hesitantly, Li Shu was leaning on the bed at this moment, his eyes were closed, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart.

"Hmm." Xiqiao snorted, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Li Man frowned, "It's late at night—"

"Master, having a banquet tonight, suddenly has a headache, and wants to ask Dr. Li to take a look." Xi Qiao's words gave her no excuse to refute.

Li Man hurriedly ran to the back room with small steps, "Li Yan, you go to bed first, I'll come when I go. By the way, you lock the door behind you later, and don't open it to anyone who knocks except me."

"Are you sure you want to go?" Li Yan raised his eyes and looked at her.

Li Man patted his hand, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a while."

After finishing speaking, carrying the medicine bag on his back, he hurriedly turned around and walked outside.

As soon as she opened the door, Xiqiao saw Li Man come out, and she was relieved, "Doctor Li, I'm so sorry to trouble you this late at night."

"It's okay, which hospital is my master in? Can you take me to him?" Li Man knew that she didn't know medicine and was afraid of showing off.

Xi Qiao said, "The master only told Dr. Li to go there, but didn't say to find Dr. Xu."

"It's okay, take me to see Master, he is good at medicine—"

"Don't worry, Doctor Li. Our master probably got a little dizzy from drinking too much alcohol. He will be fine after drinking some hangover soup. There is no need to trouble Dr. Xu and his old man." Xi Qiao said.

Li Man was speechless, if he didn't bother old man Xu, should he just trouble her? Dare to see that she is young and not afraid of tossing, besides, when she is drunk, she just lies down and rests, why ask her to go there?

Silently followed Xiqiao for a while, but instead of arriving at Yandan's residence, she went to a quiet small pavilion in the lotus pond.

There are beautiful palace lanterns hanging around the pavilion, and the lights are hidden in a piece of clear water, rippling and very beautiful.

Yan Dan sat alone in the pavilion, dressed in a royal blue robe, which suppressed his usual coldness and made him more clean and easy-going.

Li Man was taken aback for a moment, is he drunk like this? Besides, shouldn't you stay in the house when you're drunk? Why did the wind blow here?

There were also wine and dishes on the table on one side, which seemed untouched at first glance.

Li Man glanced at him suspiciously, convinced that Xiqiao's words just now were a lie.

"Sit." Yan Dan slightly bent her lips, and said politely to her, while winking, Xi Qiao quietly backed away.

Li Man sat across from him with some awkwardness, seeing his clear eyebrows and clear eyes, she couldn't help being a little annoyed, "Aren't you drunk and still have a headache?"

"I did have a few drinks." Yan Dan rubbed his temples with a smile, "I don't really like socializing, so naturally I have a headache."

What kind of explanation is this? But since he wasn't drunk or had a headache, what did he ask her for?

She couldn't help turning her head, wanting to see Xiqiao, but in the end, there was no ghost behind her, and at this moment, she realized that the surroundings were quiet, it seemed that there were only him and her in the pavilion.

Li Man suddenly became a little nervous, "My lord, what do you need from me?"

"Well, a little bit." Yan Dan didn't turn the corner, picked up the jug, and poured some wine into the glass in front of her.

"I don't drink." Li Man said hastily.

There was still a slight smile on the corner of Yan Dan's lips. After filling her wine glass, she filled another glass for herself, "It's okay, if you don't know how to drink, just eat vegetables, they are all your favorite."

"What?" Li Man was surprised, "How do you know what I like to eat?" She couldn't help but glanced at the dishes on the table, amused, "I don't like sweets."

Yan Dan was about to pick up some food for her, but he gave her a slight bite, but still put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into her bowl, "Try it."

"I've had dinner tonight." Li Man really didn't have any appetite, and besides, Li Yan was alone in the room, "My lord, if you want something, don't hesitate to speak up."

Yan Dan also put down her chopsticks, and looked straight into her eyes, "You..."

Li Man didn't even blink, she was seriously waiting for his words, but he only said the word "you" and then paused, as if thinking about whether to continue.

"What?" After a long time, Li Man couldn't help asking, always feeling that the way he looked at her was a bit strange.

"You are very much like an old friend of mine." For just a moment, Yan Dan chuckled, as if he had made some kind of decision, "However, we have been separated for many years."

Li Man's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he is some kind of relative of this deity? For some reason, she didn't feel much joy in her heart.

She is not her true self, so naturally she doesn't have much feeling about her past, and now that she has her own family, she doesn't want this kind of life to be broken.

"Hehe." Li Man laughed dryly, but did not respond to his words.

Yan Dan's eyes fell on her face like water, and suddenly asked, "How are you doing?"

This question made Li Man's heart sink again. Such a question is really like a pair of long-lost couples, "I'm fine. Why do you ask like this?"

"When did you get married?" Yan Dan asked herself, twisting the wine glass with her fingers, but she didn't pick it up for a long time, her twinkling eyes slightly lowered, only staring at the liquid in the glass.

Is it just a commonplace to ask yourself to come so late? Li Man became more and more suspicious in her heart, but she answered calmly, "I told you this morning, I've already engaged, and I have to wait—"

Yan Dan raised her head suddenly, her clear eyes slid around her face, the corners of her lips curled slightly, "The man in your room is your husband-in-law?"

"Ah—" Li Man was stunned, and immediately, her face turned pale, a little frightened.

Yan Dan frowned, but comforted, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to him either."

"But, how do you know? I..." Li Man looked at herself, it was obviously a man's clothes.

Yan Dan is funny, do you think he is blind? Although she was wearing men's clothes, how could she hide the habits and smell of her daughter's house from him, besides, her face...has been imprinted in his heart for so many years, how could he admit it.

Well, Li Man admits that her acting skills are poor, and now that things are like this, she can only tell the truth, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this. Uncle Xu also really wants to help you heal—"

"There's no need for him." Yan Dan's voice was a little colder, and she knew that he dared to love his privacy, and looked at her with darker eyes.

Li Man's heart sank, and she hurriedly said, "Actually, it's better not to use him. Uncle Xu's medical skills are very average. I think you are fully capable of finding a better doctor."

"You?" Yan Dan raised her eyelids, and her eyes were tightly wrapped around her.

Li Man was flustered, and shook her head quickly, "You already know, I, I am Xu Bola who came to rescue me, I, actually don't know medicine, you...can you?"

"No." Before she could say the rest, he directly gave a negative answer.

Li Man choked, "You don't even know what I'm going to say."

"What if I said, you can cure my illness." Yan Dan's eyes sparkled.

Li Man's heart tightened, "How do I treat it?"

"Let me react." Yan Dan stared at her with fiery eyes, what Yan Dan said was not indirect.

Li Man's small face turned pale in an instant. If she didn't know that his illness was fine before, but now she knew what illness he had, she would naturally understand the meaning of what he said.

Immediately, she became annoyed and refused directly, "Sorry, I can't."

"For your men?" Yan Dan suddenly raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and when he looked at her again, he had a smile that was not a smile.

Li Man's heart tightened a little bit, this man's eyes were deep and terrifying, why did she think he was gentle and upright before?

But thinking of Li Mo and the others, the courage returned to her little by little, "Yes, I have a husband."

"A few peasants in poor valleys." Yan Dan sneered.

Li Man blushed angrily, "What's wrong with the villagers? They love me, and I love them too."

Yan Dan's smile faltered, and she suddenly sneered, "Love? The most unreliable thing in the world." He remembered that she used to love that Yan Bei so much.

Li Man kept a cold face and didn't speak. She suddenly felt that it was really boring to be called by him at night to discuss these things. He didn't believe that love was his business. It is also clear that there is no need to argue.

Seeing her biting her lips and saying nothing, seeming to be disdainful or mocking, Yan Dan felt annoyed, "Are you really sure that they love you? Or, they are just greedy for this beautiful body now—"

Li Man glanced at him, "They won't."

"Oh? You're so sure. Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Yan Dan laughed suddenly.

Li Man asked back, "What are you betting on?"

"Didn't you say they love you? I'll let you see for yourself how deep their love is for you, how about it?"

"What do you want to do?" Li Man suddenly smelled a conspiracy, "You are not allowed to deal with them."

"No?" Yan Dan sneered, no one in the world dared to say these two words to him, not even the person on the dragon chair.

"Still dare not?"

Li Man was stunned, "That's fine, why should I bet with you? I know it's my fault for pretending to be a doctor, but you can't just arrest Aunt Xu and threaten you just because Uncle Xu can't cure you. Not good either."

"Heh." Yan Dan had already drunk several glasses of wine in a short while, and the bottom of his deep eyes gradually turned red, "If, I can prove that those men don't love you as much as you think, what should you do?"

This person... Li Man was very speechless to him, "Do you have nothing to do in your spare time? Why do you want to prove this? Even if they don't love me that deeply, what does it have to do with you?"

"Since they don't love you that much, why are you still attached to them?" Yan Dan paused and said, "You can come with me."

Li Man was really stunned for a moment, and after confirming that he was not joking, she said decisively, "Thank you for your love, my lord, whether you love it or not, this is a matter between me and my husbands—"

"Are you guilty? Or have you already determined that they don't love you that much? If that's the case, why do I have any scruples?" Yan Dan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Man's heart trembled, "What do you want to do?"

"Take you back to Beijing, of course, I won't treat those men badly—"

"Wait a minute, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I was going back to Beijing with you?" Li Man was shocked.

Yan Dan said directly, "I gave you a choice. If they love you, I will let you go. If they don't love you, I will naturally take you away."
