I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 161 The So-Called Treasure

He walked through the noisy crowd with his head down until he arrived at the door of a room on the third floor. After hesitating for a moment, Taoist Qi Heng finally knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom."

As the door knocked, a slightly impatient voice came from the room, "Who is it? Why are you disturbing me so late?"

"it's me"

After hearing the sound at the door, hurried footsteps were heard in the room. In less than a moment, a woman in a red cloak quickly opened the door and pulled the person at the door into the room before quickly closing the door again.

After the door was closed, the woman looked at the slightly embarrassed Qi Heng with some surprise.

"I said, you finally figured it out and are willing to come to me on your own initiative."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, Yun Niang, I...~I need your help with something."

"Ah"

Hearing this, Yan Qiaoyun rolled her eyes helplessly. She knew of course that this old guy would only come to her because he had something to ask, otherwise how could he take the initiative to come to her, unless the sun rises from the west.

Without paying any more attention to the embarrassed old Taoist, Yan Qiaoyun slowly walked to the guest table and sat down, then poured two cups of tea.

"Tell me what you want from me this time."

"Brother Du was injured, so I wanted to ask if you have any herbs that can replenish blood and qi. I think..."

"bump"

Putting the teacup heavily on the table, Yan Qiaoyun couldn't help but raise her brows. "Brother Qi, why can't you change your bad habit of meddling in other people's business? Do you know that the boy is a wanted criminal by the court? If you continue like this, sooner or later you will be killed by him."

"That... ~ Yunniang Du Xiaoge was wrongly accused. Now that this matter has come to me, I can't just ignore it."

After staring at the person in front of her for a while, Yan Qiaoyun sighed helplessly.

Alas! Why didn't this old guy learn from his mistakes? Eight years ago, he almost lost his life to save a stranger like me.

Now, for a young man I don't even know, I have forced myself to the point where I have to disguise myself and hide. Is it really meaningful to do such a thankless task?

But perhaps it is his genuine and pure character that deeply attracts me.

If he hadn't risked his life to save her, how could a widow who had just lost her husband's family have the foundation she has today?

Looking at Taoist Qi Heng with complicated eyes, Yan Qiaoyun hesitated for a moment, stood up and took out a few wooden boxes from a corner beside the bed, then said with a smile, "Why are you standing so far away? Are you afraid that I will eat you? Come and get it yourself."

"Oh, ok, ok, ok"

He walked quickly to the corner, took the wooden box from Yan Qiaoyun, and turned around to leave. However, he had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by a voice from behind.

"Take this with you later."

The old Taoist turned around and looked at the robe that appeared in Yan Qiaoyun's hand at some point. A little struggle flashed in his eyes, but he finally refused and said, "Mother Yun, I don't lack clothes. Which one... which one~ or let it go."

"Humph"

With a cold snort, Yan Qiaoyun threw her clothes on the bed and looked aside with her arms folded across her chest. "It's okay if you don't want it, but put down the herbs before you leave."

“This…~This…~”

Taoist Qi Heng looked up at the clothes on the bed, then glanced at the woman beside the bed. Finally, he had no choice but to walk towards the bed.

Holding the herbs in one hand and gently picking up the clothes on the bed with the other, Taoist Qi Heng turned his head and looked at the woman beside him with some embarrassment.

"Then Yunniang, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first."

Yan Qiaoyun saw the old Taoist pick up the clothes on the bed and then waved his hand, "Let's go, let's ask Xiaohuan to buy any herbs we need. But don't let that Du boy get in touch with my girl again, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Well, the old Taoist knows."

After hurriedly responding, Taoist Qi Heng hurriedly walked out the door holding a bunch of things.

After the old Taoist left, Yan Qiaoyun showed a bright smile on his face. Ha! He has finally understood the old man's character over the years.

If I had rashly sent the clothes to him, he would definitely not have accepted them, but now was the right time.

But...~Alas! We still have to find a way to send them out of the city as soon as possible.

Although she has rarely taken the initiative to contact the Taoist priest in recent years due to business reasons, if someone is interested and investigates carefully, they will inevitably find clues.

The government's search efforts have been increasing recently, so it is somewhat difficult to get the two people out of the city quietly.

However, there is still a chance. In a few days, the eldest son of the county governor's mansion will be married. By then, many dignitaries will visit Wuyun City. Perhaps that will be the best time for them to leave the city.

The next morning, the small room was filled with a strong smell of herbs. Taoist Qi Heng was holding a cattail leaf fan and gently fanning the stove to control the temperature.

Alas! He and Yunniang had known each other for eight years. He had saved her out of a sense of justice, but now he felt that this kindness had deteriorated.

Looking up at the clothes neatly laid out on the table, Taoist Qi Heng felt a little melancholy for a moment.

He could more or less see what Yunniang was thinking, but he was a Taoist priest, and there was almost a twenty-year age difference between them, so he really didn't know how to respond to this feeling.

"Cough, cough, cough."

A violent cough interrupted Taoist Qi Heng's thoughts. Hearing the sound coming from the bed, the Taoist quickly poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to the bedside.

"Brother Du, you're awake. How do you feel now? Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

After reaching out with difficulty to take the cup of tea handed to him and drinking it in one gulp, Du Yuming felt that his dry throat was much better.

After drinking, Du Yuming handed the teacup to the old Taoist priest and then bowed and said

"Master Qi Heng, I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'm fine."

Taoist Qi Heng took the teacup and looked at the pale young man on the bed and asked, "Brother Du, didn't I tell you that if you notice something is wrong, don't get entangled, and always put your own safety first. Why did you end up like this?"

Hearing the old Taoist's concerned words, Du Yuming suddenly showed a helpless bitter smile on his face.

With the treasure in his hand, he thought that if he wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop him.

After all, he had dealt with those government officials who were pursuing him more than once before, and the only time he was injured was because he was careless for a moment and was ambushed.

But who could have thought that he would meet a tough guy this time. He still couldn't figure out how that person determined his exact location.

If he hadn't taken the risk at the end, he would have been caught by now.

Du Yuming raised his hand and gently pressed it on his chest, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
