REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
187. Complimentary
Nangong Li did not immediately reply and lowered his head which made Chang Rui confused, had he already said the wrong word to Nangong Li ? Otherwise why would Nangong Li's face look so grim ?
"Has my word offended Mr Nangong ? If Mr. Nangong has trouble mentioning the person then it is better not to mention it. " Chang Rui said wisely.
No matter how curious he was, he still could not be a selfish person. Since Nangong Li did not want to say so then he did not have the right to force Nangong Li to name the person.
Chang Rui was an educated person, not going to do such a thing.
"It's okay, just relax. It's just that I remembered the past and was kind of immersed into it. Miss Chang does not need to apologize. " Said Nangong Li casually.
"There's no need to mention it anymore if the person doesn't want to be mentioned, rather than making Mr. Nangong awkward. " Reply Chang Rui.
"Free, my relationship with him won't be awkward, because he's gone. It was my first wife, she had been dead for a few years but I still find it hard to forget. " Said Nangong Li looking at Chang Rui deeply.
"Having a person who can accompany Mr. Nangong in such circumstances, then it is a great fortune to Mr. Nangong. " Reply Chang Rui.
"It's true, it's my luck and it can never be replaced. I really feel lucky about this. " Praise Nangong Li.
Chang Rui looked at Nangong Li with a dejected look, unable to help but feel sad and somewhat envious of that lucky fellow.
Nangong Li's first wife must have been such a great person that she could endure patiently and treat Nangong Li.
Too bad according to the famous saying, good people will not live long. Even Nangong Li's first good wife was one of them.
"Don't call me Mr. Nangong again, otherwise it will feel very awkward. " Say Nangong Li with a laugh.
"Then then don't call Miss Chang. I feel so old. " Canda Chang Rui.
The two of them laughed at each other and the tense situation came back liquid and warmed up again, both of them looking at each other.
Until finally arrived at Hongli Village and at that moment there was a commotion in front of him, only a group of small children were fighting over a bamboo toy from a boy.
The boy seemed to be in the shade, judging from the boy sitting in the mud with his head bowed.
"What are you guys doing ? " Tanya Chang Rui got off the horse.
"Who are you ?! I am the head of the village boy ! I wanted this poor guy's toy but he really didn't know his own place !" Cried the boy who stood up.
"If you are the son of the village chief then you should reflect a good example, instead of oppressing your friend. " Chang Rui said trying to be patient.
If he was impatient, then this village chief's son would not end well.
"Why should I ? I want what he has is the honor he has, this is what Dad taught me. " I exclaimed the boy arrogantly.
Chang Rui grinned and stared coldly, it seemed like there would be an exciting spectacle in this Hongli Village.
Since Hongli Village entered into that part of Wu City, then Chang Rui would show what it was to obey and submit to the superiors.
To show that Wu City has clear laws and stands up for justice. People in this village have run too far from morals.
"What's your name ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"Cui Xilan !" Say the child with confidence.
Chang Rui nodded and decided to remember this name, then carried the mud-filled child and climbed on the horse.
"Daughter, your clothes are getting dirty. " Say the boy indistinctly.
"Daughter ? Why do you call me Princess ? I'm just an ordinary swordsman. " Chang Rui said with ruckus.
"You're beautiful and sweet, aren't you a princess ?" The boy asked innocently and his eyes blinked.
"What's your name sweet boy ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"Yuan Qiqi, my father is a woodcutter around here. He's going to leave at five and come back at ten o'clock in the evening, so since he's tired so I don't want to make him worry, don't want him to know any of this. Can the princess help me walk into my house ?" Asked Yuan Qiqi.
"You're a very smart boy, I'll take you. " Chang Rui said.
"How old are you ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"It should be, if not wrong then this year is 10 years. " Answer Yuan Qiqi.
Chang Rui was shocked when he listened to the numbers mentioned by Yuan Qiqi.
Does this really match what Yuan Qiqi said ? It really doesn't look like a 10-year-old.
Instead of ten years, if mentioning 8 years or 6 years maybe Chang Rui would also believe it.
It was true that he was astonished as well as sad, a child like Yuan Qiqi had been severely malnourished until it ended up like this.
Even this child's hair had turned slightly yellowish, inexplicable by the word again.
Chang Rui felt sad in the depths of his heart and blinked his eyes repeatedly to endure his sadness.
Chang Rui arrived at a residence that could not be called a residence, it was just a few wooden poles and a cover.
Just a small compartment no bigger than a toilet room. It cannot be said where the father and son will sleep.
Next to it was a small tributary, perhaps Yuan Qiqi would bathe here. At this moment, Yu Qiqi's legs were sprained. How can the boy bathe in this creek ?
Instead of getting cleanliness, it will be washed away by the flow of this very heavy tributary and make Chang Rui have a headache.
"Look, I'll take clean water and your Qiqi take a bath behind the tree. " Said Nangong Li who had been silent since.
"Good." Yuan Qiqi said.
"How are you going to explain this to your father ? Supposedly, you didn't not say everything to your father because you were worried that it would burden your father's mind but your father was a heavy drunk, am I right ?" Chang Rui asked with a probing look.
