The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 259, Strange_1

“Strange monk, is Granny Gu awake yet?”

Daku had rescued the person from the river and brought them to the herbal shop, and now that everyone else had left, only Granny Gu and the strange monk were still here.

It wasn’t that the two of them didn’t want to leave, it was just that Granny Gu was frail, and the ordeal of falling into the river had nearly cost her half her life; she still couldn’t get out of bed.

When Daohua arrived, Gu Jian was decanting medicine.

Because they were brought over by Daku, the herbal shop had cleared a room for the two of them.

At this moment, Granny Gu was lying in bed, while the strange monk squatted at the doorway boiling medicine.

Gu Jian glanced at Daohua and didn’t speak, but she shifted toward the doorway.

Daohua peered into the room and saw Granny Gu struggling to sit up in bed.

Seeing this, Daohua hurriedly went inside, helping the old woman to sit up.

Gu Jian took a quick look at her and didn’t stop her.

After catching her breath for a while, Granny Gu smiled at Daohua, “Aren’t you the little girl from Yan Family village?”

Daohua looked surprised, “Granny Gu, you remember me?”

Granny Gu smiled and nodded her head.

This young girl had made a deep impression on her, daring to venture out alone at the age of five to seek medicine for her grandmother, and she was also very brave; she hadn’t been scared the first time she saw her.

Her face, burnt over most of it, scared even some adults who saw it.

After seeking medicine, her grandmother brought her to the convent a few more times and even specifically made food to offer; this simple act of kindness was truly unforgettable.

Daohua also smiled; she had been able to get the medicine back then, firstly because of the convent’s abbot, and secondly because of Granny Gu’s help.

Although half of her face was burned, she wasn’t scary at all because the old woman’s eyes were very gentle and serene.

At this time, Gu Jian came in with the medicine.

Daohua immediately joked, “Granny Gu, your memory is much better than that of the strange monk; he didn’t remember me at all.”

Granny Gu looked at her brother and laughed, “He is busy making a living, has a lot of different things on his mind, and naturally he won’t remember as well as I do with nothing to occupy me.”

Daohua asked with curiosity, “Granny Gu, you were doing well in the convent. Why did you come to Xingyun Prefecture?”

Granny Gu’s expression turned sorrowful, “Abbot Huide has passed away.”

At this news, Daohua was shocked, “How could that be? I remember when we left that year, he looked quite healthy.”

Granny Gu said, “Illness strikes like a falling mountain, who can make sense of life and death?”

Daohua fell silent for a moment before continuing, “Abbot Huide passed away, and the new abbot chased you out?”

Granny Gu glanced at Gu Jian, “The new abbot didn’t chase us out, but he befriended the County Magistrate, and the Magistrate has an old mother who is bedridden year-round, so he wanted Xiaojian to treat her. Xiaojian was unwilling, so we felt it was inappropriate to stay in the convent any longer.”

Daohua nodded in understanding; the strange monk was quirky and seemed to have a particular dislike for officials.

Just then, Gu Jian finished preparing the medicine and was ready to administer it to Granny Gu.

“Let me do it!”

Daohua naturally took the medicine bowl from him; the strange monk was not young anymore, and he had been squatting for so long while boiling the medicine. She glanced at him and saw his legs were trembling slightly.

Gu Jian looked at Daohua but didn’t refuse.

Granny Gu smiled and said to Gu Jian, “Sit and rest awhile!”

Gu Jian nodded and sat down on a nearby stool.

As Daohua fed Granny Gu the medicine, she laughed and said, “He really does listen to you!”

After Granny Gu drank the medicine, she said something melancholic, “I just wish he wouldn’t be so obedient.”
