Chapter 1950 Another secret
"Did he get injured just now?" Wan Shufang stammered, her eyes fixed on the pharmacy, not rushing to draw a conclusion.
After a long while, the little girl came out of the shop carrying a few small bags of medicinal herbs and walked westward. The two men followed quietly behind her.
The girl turned left and right, walked for a long way, and finally entered a dilapidated temple. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang hid in the dark and secretly looked into the dilapidated temple.
In addition to the little girl, there was also an old grandmother lying in the temple.
"Grandma, Dandan is feeding you medicine, can you please wake up soon?" The little girl's voice came, faintly with tears in her voice: "Grandma, please wake up soon, I can't find anyone to cheat money to buy medicine."
"That man was so fierce today. He might drive me out of the city, and then I won't be able to protect grandma."
As she spoke, the little girl couldn't help but think of Chen Changli's angry look again, and she suddenly became afraid. A little child really couldn't withstand the aura of a battle-hardened general.
Seeing this scene, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other with mixed feelings. They walked into the dilapidated temple, and their shoes made noises when they stepped on dead leaves. The little girl turned around and saw that it was them. She immediately opened her arms vigilantly to protect the old lady.
"What are you doing here? I haven't cheated you of your money. Please leave now."
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang stopped but did not leave, which made the little girl even more anxious: "Go away, don't stay here, the money scam has nothing to do with grandma, if you want to arrest someone, arrest me."
Thinking that Chen Changli was coming to take her to the government, the little girl still wanted to protect her grandmother even though she was afraid.
Perhaps sensing his granddaughter's panic, the unconscious old man on the ground suddenly coughed and slowly opened his eyes.
"Cough cough..."
"Dandan, who... who wants to arrest you, please, the child is young and doesn't understand, don't blame her." The old man stretched out his bony hand, his voice trembling, and words of begging for mercy came out of his mouth.
It was as if I had said it many times, and I subconsciously wanted to hug the little girl.
The grandparents and grandchildren cried together. Wan Shufang was immediately anxious and tried to comfort them: "Don't be afraid, old man. We are not here to arrest her. We are here to help you."
Wan Shufang tried to soften her tone, hoping that they could calm down. After all, the old lady was in poor health and her emotions could not fluctuate too much.
As early as just now, she already knew the reason why the little girl was trying to cheat people out of money, so naturally she would not do anything to the poor grandparents and grandchildren. However, the little girl did not believe what she said, and she continued to protect her grandmother with a wary look on her face.
Seeing the vigilance in the little girl's eyes, Wan Shufang bent down with a gentle look and said softly, "Little girl, I'm a doctor. I know medical skills and can save your grandma. Let me see her first, okay?"
The little girl didn't say anything, just stared at her. The atmosphere became tense for a moment. Wan Shufang didn't urge her and was very patient. Perhaps it was because her eyes and tone were too gentle, the little girl gradually relaxed.
She took a half step to the side and knelt down in front of Wan Shufang: "Sister, please save grandma. I was wrong before. As long as you can save grandma, I will do anything you want."
The little girl hit her forehead heavily on the ground. She had no other choice but to believe Wan Shufang. Tears welled up in her eyes.
When he wanted to take the second one, he was stopped by Wan Shufang.
"Okay, get up quickly. I know you are not a bad kid. Come and see your grandma's illness first." After helping the person up, Wan Shufang walked to the old woman and stretched out her hand to feel her pulse.
Wan Shufang's frown gradually relaxed, she loosened her hand, and said, "Fortunately this girl is smart and managed to get some medicine for grandma to drink, otherwise there would be no hope for her to recover."
"Grandma, can she still be saved, right?" The little girl's eyes lit up, and she laid down beside the old lady with her tiny body, rubbing her forehead with her little face.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang took out the pill from the space while the little girl was not paying attention. The pill appeared in the palm of her hand, and Wan Shufang looked at the little girl with a smile.
"Girl, bring some water. Grandma will be fine after taking this medicine."
Hearing this, the little girl immediately got up and brought water in a broken bowl. Wan Shufang fed the old lady the elixir. The old lady's condition gradually improved, and soon she was able to support herself from the ground.
She leaned against the little girl and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Thank you both for saving my life, Dan girl, why don't you thank your benefactors quickly."
"Thank you benefactor."
The little girl was very obedient and thanked him nicely. At this time, a creaking sound was heard outside the dilapidated temple. Seeing Chen Changli find a carriage, Wan Shufang smiled knowingly.
"Little girl, would you like to move to another place with grandma?" She looked at Dandan and reached out to ruffle her messy hair.
The little girl pursed her lips. Now that she knew Wan Shufang was a good person, she looked at her grandmother and nodded vigorously: "I am willing. Thank you, benefactor."
"My benefactor, my name is Dandan. Grandma is my only relative. You are so kind to us. In the future, if there is anything you need Dandan to do, just tell me. Whether it's washing clothes, cooking, or farming, Dandan can do it all."
Dandan introduced herself, her eyes curved and her little face full of smiles. Wan Shufang also smiled and patted her head. Seeing that she agreed to leave, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang carried the old lady to the carriage and returned to the inn together.
When they returned to the inn, the waiter saw Dandan and recognized her as the strange child. He immediately took out a broom and chased her away: "Get out, get out! Don't come here to cheat people out of money."
The broom kept poking Dandan. She was caught off guard and hit by the broom. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she still endured it bravely, not wanting to cause trouble for Wan Shufang.
"Why are you crying? Get out." The waiter still tried to chase him away. Chen Changli also reacted, raised his hand and held the broom, his eyes a little cold.
"She's with us."
Hearing this, the waiter frowned, but his hands loosened a little: "But she is a thief and a liar, sir, our inn has to be open, we can't take her in."
He still didn't let Dandan in, so Chen Changli loosened his grip and took out a silver ingot from his arms: "Is this enough? Let them live in the room next to ours."
Seeing such a large sum of money, the waiter's eyes widened, he silently put away his broom, said nothing, took the money and went about his business.
After settling the people down, Wan Shufang gave a few instructions and then returned to the room with Chen Changli. Thinking of what she had seen and heard in the past few days, Wan Shufang's face became heavy.
Pulling Chen Changli to sit at the table, she poured two glasses of water, took a sip from the glass, and said softly: "Chen Changli, I want to set up a charity hall here."
"I have encountered many poor people recently. I have established a charity hall to take them in, so that they can at least have a place to stay."
After hearing this, Chen Changli paused for a moment. Knowing what Wan Shufang was thinking, he drank the water in the cup.
"Okay, this is a good idea. It will definitely help the people in a practical way."
