C14 Conjecture about Where One Comes from

Gu Caiwei consented to Master Soong's unreasonable request. She could already foresee the sight of her ten fingers being pierced until they were badly mangled.

Maybe he thought he knew her better. For the sake of silver and meat, no, no, no. For the sake of saving her life, she had to put up with it.

"Then I'll go and find Chun Hua to learn from her tomorrow. If I can't do it well, don't scold me."

"Do your job well." Song Duo's expression softened a little, "Remember to buy 'Woman Ring'."

Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth but didn't say anything. Today, she had taken a fancy to a thick《 Medical Encyclopedia》 for 30 taels of silver. She was conflicted over the fact that she couldn't bear to buy it, so she wouldn't spend money to buy those useless things.

"Your four treasures of the study." She had spent five taels of silver on that packet, and had even gone to great lengths to bargain for it.

Song Duo opened it and took a look. He clearly frowned at the poor quality, but he endured it and didn't say anything.

If he didn't say anything, she would just treat it as if he was satisfied. Gu Caiwei snickered.

Oh, right. These are three pieces of cloth, and they're also of high quality, but they're too fragmented. I've bought more. "I'll boil some water and make some medicine. You'll have to change it later."

When she first came back, she wanted to check Song Duo's wound, but she was still worried after being rejected by him.

Logically speaking, his wounds should have already started to heal, so walking should not be a problem. However, it could be due to the tempering poison in his daggers, or it could be that he was poisoned earlier on and the poison had yet to be treated. Gu Caiwei took his pulse. She had a rough understanding of poisons and even though she had the prescription, she always felt that there was a type of poison that had been ignored.

Although she had inherited her grandfather's skills, she was better at wielding a blade than her grandfather.

Song Duo didn't know why but he thought of the underwear that she tore to shreds to bandage her wounds. His ears were a bit red.

"Let me think again," Gu Caiwei said as she cleaned his wounds. "The medicine is just by his mouth, but I can't remember. I must have smashed his brain when I jumped out of the car last time, hmph …" What should it be? "The root of white thatch dissolves the mandala, and the root of six erects the cantharidin, and the root of ginger dissolves the aconite..." I can't think, I can't think, my head is about to explode, take it slow, take it slow. "

Song Duo did not say anything. He had gotten used to her talking to herself these few days.

"I can recover from your wounds. I'll get some water for you to wash up and go to bed early. I'm exhausted today." She bandaged the wound and stood up by the kang. "I have to try my new mattress," she said. "It must be more comfortable with two pounds of cotton."

Song Duo glanced at the mattress under him and glared at him: "This woman, doesn't she know how to use the best for him?!"

Unfortunately, Gu Caiwei didn't have such awareness. After he was done washing up, she quickly laid down the bed and fell asleep.

Song Duo heard her regular breathing and sat up. He lit the oil lamp on the table and started to write under the dim light.

His brows were tightly knitted, his lips were tightly pursed, sometimes he flew like a dragon and sometimes he flew like a phoenix, sometimes it was difficult to read, until half of the oil lamp had burned out, his brow suddenly relaxed, his face revealed a look of understanding, his eyes filled with anger, the brush in his hand snapped.

"So that's how it is. What a good move to lure the tiger out of its lair! " He pounded his fist against his anger, deeply regretting why he had fallen for that person's words! He did not know what the situation in the capital was like right now. He hoped that Zizhen could escape from that person's ambush.

"The Fourth Monarch's Soup is moderate and righteous, and the technique is Poria Cocos Liquorice is..." Gu Caiwei, who was in the dream, started to recite the soup song in a low voice.

Song Duo threw the pen on the table and saw that she was lying on his side without any image. She held the pillow in her arms and was drooling. One of her thighs was hanging down and almost fell to the floor.

This woman!

The guess about Gu Caiwei made Song Duo temporarily walk out from his dark mood. Just what kind of parents and upbringing did she have?! To be able to bring up such a wondrous person like her!

She was definitely not a young lady from a humble family. Her medical skills and knowledge had already surpassed her. However, he couldn't think of any famous family that wouldn't teach their daughter four books. However, if it was a martial general's family, how could they let her be sold and become a lowly person? One must know that in order to maintain order, the imperial court ordered that women who had fallen into the lower classes should never be the main wife. Even the second wife was not allowed. After leaving the family, she could serve as a concubine, or she could only be a concubine.

Gu Caiwei's life was still a dead knot in Song Duo's mind.

"Grandpa, can you let me rest for a while?" Gu Caiwei vaguely whispered, "Spare me, I can't memorize it. Don't hit it, it hurts …"

She rolled inside with the pillow and leaned her back against the wall, beginning to act shamelessly. "I won't carry it anyway. I won't carry it even if I die."

The lights dimmed, so Song Duo couldn't clearly see her expression, but he could imagine how she looked like.

However, the content of her words made him unhappy.

It turned out that Gu Caiwei's voice was vague, especially when she addressed him as grandpa or grandma. That was why Song Duo heard her address him as "grandpa". He thought she was calling him as her ex-husband.

So it turned out that her medical skills were taught to her by her ex-husband. For some reason, the thought of her ex-husband made him feel unspeakably irritated.

Gu Caiwei didn't know what he was thinking. She rolled around on the bed, laughing as she cried. "I'm in the wrong. Alright, I'll carry her on my back. Don't come near me. If you come, I'll run …"

Song Duo watched as she fell to the ground with a whooshing sound. Then, he let out a scream that scared the hell out of everyone.

Gu Caiwei touched her forehead and said, "Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts so much. Stop hitting me."

Song Duo prepared his mocking expression and words. Then, he found that the girl with the strange bones was rolling on the ground, hugging the pillow and sleeping soundly.

Song Duo: "..."

Actually, Gu Caiwei was a bit sober when she fell down. She even knew that she was dreaming. But when she dreamt of her grandfather, she really didn't want to part with him. Even though she was being beaten up, she would rather continue to deceive herself and dream on.

This girl had succeeded.

He turned over and continued sleeping.

In the autumn, when the ground was wet and cold, Song Duo saw her sleeping soundly again. He picked up a piece of pen from the brick table and with a bit of strength, hit the back of her hand.

This time, Gu Caiwei had really woken up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up on the floor. Her eyes were empty, and it took her a while to figure out what kind of day it was. She was still lost in her longing for her grandpa, so she didn't feel the burning gaze from the brick bed.

It wasn't until she stood up with the pillow and patted the dust off her body that she noticed Song Duo was looking at her with an unreadable expression.

"Cousin, why aren't you sleeping?" She yawned and noticed the four treasures on the table, "Are you practicing your calligraphy? I'll practice again tomorrow. "

You're not working anyway, wasting lamp oil in the middle of the night!
