Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife Chapter 429 - A Chance Encounter With Jiang Xun

Chapter 429: A Chance Encounter With Jiang Xun

The Sun family had really done a good job burying it so deep.

Although a meter did not sound like much, it was really not easy to dig it up.

It was almost 1.5 meters deep, and including the height of the box, it was more than 1.5 meters deep. It was almost the height of a fully grown woman.

Gu Qingyao did not care because she had gotten the items. She simply put them in her inters.p.a.ce. There were three boxes, and she took them all before filling up the hole.

It was a major undertaking for a girl like her. It took her a long time to finish the job, by which time she was exhausted and covered with sweat.

She had flattened out the ground. Once the soil had been loosened, it was difficult to put it all back. Gu Qingyao put the remaining soil into her inters.p.a.ce to dispose of later.

It was now very late. She hurriedly left the place.

Her luck held and just after she left, it began to snow heavily. Before long, the snow would cover any traces.

Gu Qingyao was exhausted after leaving the Poplar Brigade. She went into her inters.p.a.ce to rest and have a bath, then she changed out of her sweat-soaked garments.

She did not delay for too long. After she had tidied up, she immediately came back out. Not much time had pa.s.sed in the external world, perhaps only a short interval. She picked up her pace and ran towards her home.

She had regained her energy after a short rest and she ran quickly. After half an hour, she saw someone on the road.

There were three figures in front of her. Two of them looked like children and she could hear a child crying.

They looked as if they were exhausted, and they were moving slowly.

Gu Qingyao hurried over and realized it was Jiang Xun.

She had met the youth twice. Once was in the Poplar Brigade when she brought her younger aunt home. The entire brigade had refused to help them. In the end, it was this youth who had run back to the Qing River Brigade for help. Later on, the Li family wanted Younger Aunt to go back to serve them and he had run over to tell her younger aunt about the situation.

She had not seen him for about a year and in the dim light, Gu Qingyao almost did not recognize him.

“Are you… Jiang Xun?”

She was puzzled when she saw that he had two children in tow, and was carrying another one on his back.

Jiang Xun was in a panic. When he saw Gu Qingyao, he was stunned for a long moment before he recognized her. “Are you… Elder Sister Gu?”

“Yes, it’s me. What has happened to you?”

It was late at night and here were a few children, and the youngest one was crying.

Jiang Xun was elated to see Gu Qingyao. “Elder Sister Gu, your family are physicians, right? My younger brother is sick. Please save him, hurry and save him.”

He was frantic. He only remembered that the last time he visited the Gu family, he had seen someone carrying a child to seek medical help from the Gu family. When Mu Mu fell ill, he had asked around the brigade. The Poplar Brigade members also knew about the Gu family and said that they could treat illnesses, so he had brought Mu Mu.

When he saw Gu Qingyao, he was like a drowning man clutching at straws. He completely forgot to wonder whether a girl would be able to treat illnesses.

Gu Qingyao saw that he had a child on his back. The child formed a very small bundle, which crouched on Jiang Xun’s shoulders. He was covered with a tattered quilted jacket. Because it was snowing heavily, his head was covered and Gu Qingyao had not spotted him at first.

When she pushed the jacket aside, she discovered that the child was seriously ill. His face was red with fever, his lips were cracked and he was barely breathing.

Gu Qingyao was shocked, and hurriedly took him into her arms. The child was very small and formed only a light weight in her arms. His hands and feet were icy cold, but upon closer examination, she realized that he was burning with fever.
