Hearing this, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. He got up hurriedly and thanked her. “I will go back to prepare now. I’ll bring the child in the afternoon.”
“Mm.” Feng Jiu nodded. She told Du Fan to send him off. After the two men left, she went to examine Old Tan.
“Grandfather Tan, how are you today?” She came into the room and sat down.
“Much better. I can get out of bed and walk.” Old Tan answered. He looked at Feng Jiu. “Thanks a lot this time. If it weren’t for you, my life might not be saved. Don’t call me Grandfather Tan anymore. I really can’t afford to be called your grandfather. If you look up to me, just call me Old Tan.”
She smiled. “Alright.” After giving him this reply, she asked again. “What are you going to do next? If you have no other plans or places to go, you might as well stay and help me.”
Hearing this, Old Tan was surprised. “Can I? I can stay here?” He had no fixed address and could not return to the place he used to live before. If he could stay here, he would have a home.
“Of course, you can help me take care of some things here. With you helping out, I can relax a bit.” She said with a smile. “Let’s arrange it like this! You should get well first, then you will live in the Heavenly Pill Tower. I’ll introduce some people to you at that time.”
Old Tan couldn’t conceal his excitement. “Old Tan’s life will be yours from now on.” She saved his life and gave him a home. How could he not repay her well!
After visiting him in the room for a while, Feng Jiu left. She went to the attic to rest after dealing with the affairs in the rear courtyard. In the afternoon, Leng Hua reported that the Gu Family had arrived.
In the rear courtyard of the Heavenly Pill Tower, in addition to the middle-aged man, there was a man around twenty to thirty years old. The man, dressed in a navy blue robe, was tall and sturdy with a resolute face, somewhat similar to the middle-aged man. He sat upright, drinking tea, with a calm and indifferent look. He didn’t seem to care whether his injuries could be cured or not.
When Feng Jiu came in, she immediately saw the man in the navy blue robe.The man gave the impression of being very tall even when he was sitting up straight. His figure was somewhat similar to that of her brother Guan Xilin. What drew her attention most was his calm and indifferent temperament.
“Ghost Doctor.” Seeing Feng Jiu’s arrival, Patriarch Gu stood up quickly and gave her a salute. “This is my son, Gu Xiangyi.”
Gu Xiangyi also stood up but didn’t salute her. He just nodded. “Ghost Doctor.” Then, he looked at Feng Jiu calmly. Like many people, when they first met Feng Jiu, their eyes were filled with amazement.
But, Feng Jiu noticed that in addition to the surprise when meeting her for the first time, he soon returned to normal and looked at her with an ordinary admiring glance. It’s rare to find this kind of temperament and determination.
“Ghost Doctor, here’s the thing. My son’s injury is on his shoulder. Because of the severity of the wound, his right hand is numb and lost sensation, so…” Patriarch Gu explained why his son didn’t salute her.
Feng Jiu smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Please take a seat!” She motioned for them to sit down and then said to the man, “Hold out your hand.”
Gu Xiangyi stretched out his left hand and put it on the table. He saw the other person put her finger on his wrist and felt his pulse. After a short while, she withdrew her hand.
