Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 342 Master and Disciple Night Chapter: Go or Stay

"Ugh--"

Feng Qianzhi sat on the window sill of the inn and let out a long sigh.

After sighing, he felt uncomfortable again, and sighed several times in succession: "Ah-ah! Ah! Ah! Ah--"

“Woof woof woof—woof woof woof woof—”

The little yellow dog downstairs was frightened and raised its head to bark wildly, causing the noise to disturb several rooms in the inn. Feng Qianzhi quickly gathered her clothes and climbed down the window sill, then tiptoed back into bed.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a tap on the wall, "Qianzhi, it's time to go to bed."

It’s Li Siyuan.

"Oh... Master, I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep and disturbed you."

Feng Qianzhi pulled up the quilt to cover her chin and apologized in a humming voice.

Li Shiyuan next door seemed to turn over and said, "It's okay, but you've been running around all day, you should have a good rest, we have to leave again tomorrow."

Feng Qianzhi's heart tightened, and she leaned close to the wall and bit her lip and said, "Master, the sister Shen who saved us said she would come to find us tomorrow morning."

There was silence for a moment, and then Li Shiyuan answered, "She is my lifesaver, so I have to thank her in person."

Feng Qianzhi opened her mouth in the dark, but no words came out.

"Master, I'm going to sleep, you should go to sleep soon."

She reached out her hand from under the quilt, pulled the top of the quilt toward her head, and covered herself completely with it.

She still didn't have the courage to say it.

"Qianzhi, do you have something to say to your master?"

Feng Qianzhi thought that Li Shiyuan would never talk to her again, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask her today.

Maybe she wrote her worries on her face at night.

Encouraged, Feng Qianzhi simply climbed up and sat against the wall.

She didn't turn on the light, but used the night light that came in to pull at the dead skin on her fingers.

"Master... I think we have been traveling for a long time. Have you ever thought about... finding a place to rest for a while and then set off again after we have recovered?"

"My disciple knows that the master wants to travel all over the world, collect all kinds of medicinal herbs in the world, study their habits, formulate prescriptions, and leave behind medical works that will be passed down from generation to generation, but..."

But she couldn't say anything.

In the final analysis, she was just craving for the warmth in Sister Shen's hands. As long as she closed her eyes, all she could think of was Sister Shen's words, "Sister will teach you."

This is the warmth that she rarely feels in this world.

But her master is both a teacher and a father to her. She cannot leave him, nor can she force him to give up her dream.

She thought for a long time and found an excuse for her greed - she just wanted to rest with her master for a while.

"Are you feeling tired, Qianzhi?" Li Shiyuan's voice was steady and gentle.

But is Feng Qianzhi tired?

When he asked this, it was even harder for her to answer.

"Qianzhi is not tired! I just feel that Master has a lot of medical cases recently, so I thought we should sort them out before leaving."

Li Shiyuan sighed after hearing this answer.

He watched Qianzhi grow up, so how could he not know what she was thinking.

But he...cannot give up his dream, which puts Qianzhi in a dilemma.

In fact, it was not Feng Qianzhi who disturbed him just now, but he was thinking about things and couldn't sleep.

After much thought, he could come up with the best solution, which was to ask that adult if he could take Qianzhi in for a while while he would wander around Liuyang Prefecture.

Of course, he would make some precious pills and give them to that adult as a reward - some pills could save lives at critical moments and should be able to cover Qianzhi's food and lodging expenses.

When he has gathered all the herbs around here, he will come back to look for Qianzhi. At that time, it will be up to her to come and go.

There was nothing he could do.

But now is not a good time to discuss this matter.

"The master is going to sleep first, Qianzhi, don't think too much, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Um...Okay, Master."

Feng Qianzhi didn't fall asleep until the rooster crowed at 3 p.m. the next day, but she didn't dare to move, for fear that the noise from tossing and turning would disturb Li Shiyuan.

She couldn't help biting her fingers, watching the bright moon outside the window gradually disappear, the darkness fade away, until the sunset rises.

This was the most difficult decision she had ever made in her teenage years.

......

Shen Zheng was pulled out of bed by Yu Nanshu.

Her eyes were hazy, and the moment she opened them she thought Yu Nanshu had come to Tongan County.

"Sister Shen, get up quickly! Mother has sent someone to buy your favorite snacks. They will probably be back soon. If you can't come back, Zi Yan will eat all the snacks!"

Shen Zheng shuddered and threw off the quilt.

Yes! She was still a guest at Yu's house. The host had all gotten up, but she was still lying in bed.

Yu Shizhang was not wrong to curse last night.

With messy hair, she rubbed her face and said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, Nanshu, I didn't hear the rooster crowing..."

Yu Nanshu chuckled, "It's okay, Sister Shen. Everyone knows that you like to sleep in. In fact, my mother even told me not to disturb you."

She dived into Shen Zheng's arms and rubbed against him.

"It's just that Nan Shu was so excited that she couldn't sleep when she thought of you at home. She wanted to see you."

Shen Zheng patted her head and said, "When I finish my work in the morning, I will accompany Nan Shu when I come back."

Yu Nanshu raised her head and blinked, then tilted her head and asked, "Sister, is there something wrong?"

"Um......"

Shen Zheng took the clothes and put them on randomly.

"We need to find two people. If this is successful, I can bring them back to Tongan County. If not, Nan Shu will just pretend she doesn't know about this."

Yu Nanshu was even more curious when she heard this, so she came over and asked, "Who is that person? Is he related to the person my sister met on the way here yesterday?"

Shen Zheng nodded, "It was the person I met on the road yesterday. He's a capable person."

She put on her clothes, reached behind her head and began to comb her hair, saying:

"I just can't stay with Nan Shu for too long. I may have to leave today or tomorrow. I will come to see Nan Shu next time I have a day off."

Yu Nanshu chuckled, "No need for sister to come to the mansion to see Nanshu."

Shen Zheng paused, turned to look at her, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

Yu Nanshu pointed her finger in the air and said in a profound manner:

“If the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will go to the mountain.”

There was a flash of surprise in Shen Zheng's eyes. She didn't pay attention to the hair she had just combed, and it all fell down. She didn't care at all.

"Nan Shu wants to go back to Tongan County with us?"

"Sister doesn't want to go? Then Nanshu won't go." Yu Nanshu pouted.

"What nonsense! I'm not unwilling, I'm just too happy. Last time I wrote to you, I promised to wear the new clothes you made for me next time. I came in a hurry this time, so I broke my promise."

"It's okay, sis."

Yu Nanshu’s smile was brighter than the sun, “From now on, sister will be the first one to wear the clothes Nanshu draws.”

"Good you little Nanshu."

Zhuang Zhiyun's voice came from outside the door.
