The next early morning, Qi Qingyao was shaken awake by the children. All three of the cute babies were hungry.
Qi Qingyao enjoyed sleeping in in her past life. When she was woken from her slumber forcefully, the first thing she did was check the man by the clay stove after she gave a good yawn. The man was still unconscious but his lips were not so black anymore as they now had a slight shade of red. This meant that the poison was slowly purging.
It looked like she had to boil another pot of medicine today!
It was until the third afternoon that there was movement by the clay stove after Qi Qingyuan had cleared the snow from the courtyard and was having some fish soup with the three babies by the short table. Qi Qingyuan flew next to him like the wind and reacted the moment the man opened his eyes.
“You’re finally awake.”
When Jiang Yeqian’s eyes opened, they looked blank and in a daze. It seemed like he was not fully conscious.
Qi Qingyuan suddenly realized something. ‘Hey, this man was pretty good-looking’.
He looked cute when he was sleeping, but he looked even more handsome awake!
She wondered if this was a powerhouse from the pugilistic world.
Jiang Yeqian observed his surroundings and when his gaze fell upon Ji Qingyuan, he was momentarily taken aback. “How are you?”
Before Qi Qingyuan could reply, he asked again, “Where…where is this?”
His voice was low and husky. There was a magnetic charm to his voice.
It was quite mesmerizing.
Qi Qingyuan patted herself on the chest in delight. “I’m your savior! Remember my face clearly and don’t you forget it.”
The three babies ran over to him. They climbed onto the clay stove and pulled on the man’s hand as they introduced themselves earnestly.
“We’re your saviors too!”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
Qi Qingyuan said, “Since you’re awake, let’s settle your medical fees now. I’ve used quite a bit of effort trying to save you. I went up to the mountains before it was sealed up by snow to get you medicine and I’ve even used a ginseng! Besides that, I’ve also been taking care of you day and night for the past two days. You should be paying me extra for my labor too, right?”
“…”
Ginseng?
Jiang Yeqian finally figured out his current predicament. He was aware of what had happened to him before he fell unconscious. ‘Someone’ came after him all the way from the Capital City to Qingzhou City. That person had sent dozens of a.s.sa.s.sins after him from the very beginning and this time, a child was sent out to poison him. A group of a.s.sa.s.sins attacked him while he was circulating his internal energy.
He had never thought he was able to make an escape!
He did not die!
He was saved by someone.
He was saved by a young married woman from the village…
When Qi Qingyuan noticed the man staying silent with a dazed look on his face, she began to feel anxious.
“Say something!”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
When Qi Qingyuan stared into his drifting eyes and his pretty yet somewhat distant expression, she hit him on the thigh and said dejectedly, “You don’t have amnesia, do you?”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
The man did not say anything, but looked at her blankly. Could it be… Qi Qingyuan slapped herself on the forehead. “Big Brother, you’ve got to be kidding me. It took me so much effort to save someone, and it turns out he has amnesia?”
She gave pause. She could not believe this was happening. Qi Qingyuan swallowed. “Do you really not remember who you are anymore?”
Jiang Yeqian continued to stay silent.
Qi Qingyuan pushed him. “Think harder. I have confidence in you. You can remember your past.”
The man continued to be quiet.
Qi Qingyuan felt that she had lost all hope.
She fell sitting next to the clay stove in disappointment with her hand against her forehead. “There go my medical fees, even my ginseng is gone. I’ve even wasted a few days taking care of him. I’ve suffered really have losses. Dear heavens, could you not play such a joke on me?”
When Dabao saw his mother’s sad expression, he quickly consoled her. “Mummy…”
Qi Qingyuan squeezed an embarra.s.sed smiled onto her face despite feeling sorrowful. “I’m fine, mummy just have a slight headache.”
Jiang Yeqian, “You’re a physician?”
Qi Qingyuan shook her head brusquely. “If I’m not a physician, would I be able to cure a wretched man like you?”
