Li Sui looked at her and seemed to see Qin Xue of those days, kind and confident.
"I'm a widow, so it's not convenient for me to invite you to my home for the New Year. I can only express my gratitude a little bit." Qin Xue said.
Li Sui felt a pain in his heart and forced a smile, "I understand. These things are enough for me to eat during the New Year."
"After the New Year, go back to Lu'an Prefecture as soon as possible. That's your home." Qin Xue said. She had recovered from her illness, so she should keep her distance from him.
She had already wasted half of his life, and she couldn't delay him any longer.
Li Sui said, "No, you haven't recovered your memory yet."
"I... don't want to recover." Qin Xue said, "I am very satisfied now and don't need to change anything. Besides, even if I recover my memory, they won't recognize me. Why should I humiliate myself again?"
Li Sui was speechless.
It was all Qin Jin's fault, otherwise they would all be living in Lu'an Prefecture right now. Qin Xue's family of four wouldn't have to suffer poverty anymore.
"Mom, it's Doctor Li's freedom to practice medicine wherever he wants." Xia Qianqian said in a low voice.
Qin Xue said: "Doctor Li is a skilled doctor and should live in a big city. Pingning Town is too small."
"I have my own plans, you guys should go home and celebrate the New Year." Li Sui said.
Qin Xue shook her head, feeling helpless. She just didn't want to delay him!
"Let's go back!"
Li Sui sent them out the door, hung up a sign saying that he was temporarily suspending medical consultations, and prepared the New Year's dinner by himself.
…
On the way home, I met Liu Xing again.
Xia Qianqian frowned: "What did you buy?"
He went to the market, but I didn't see what he was carrying.
"Xia Qianqian, I have something to ask you." Liu Xing thought for a long time and decided to speak frankly.
Xia Qianqian asked: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Liu Xing called Xia Qianqian aside and took out the talisman given by the fortune teller: "I have a calamity in my life, I need you."
"Robbery?" Xia Qianqian's eyes twitched.
"If I don't resolve this calamity, I won't live past the age of 23. Xia Qianqian, please save my life." Liu Xing looked panic-stricken and frightened.
Xia Qianqian knew that ancient people were very superstitious, so she asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Wear this talisman close to your body for seven days." Liu Xing said.
Xia Qianqian took the talisman and squeezed it. There seemed to be something inside. "What's inside?"
"Talisman Gray." Liu Xing said mysteriously, "This is a very high-level talisman. I also have one. If we both wear it for seven days, it will save me."
Xia Qianqian just felt bored. Where in the world is there such a thing? It's just a kind of psychological comfort.
"Xia Qianqian, I know this request is abrupt. This is a secret between the two of us. After seven days, just pick it and throw it into the stove and burn it."
The request was not high. Xia Qianqian thought about the favor Liu Xing had helped her before, so she agreed and took the talisman: "Okay."
Liu Xing was worried: "Put it on, around your neck."
The red silk talisman is tied with a red string, like a necklace.
Under Liu Xing's eager gaze, Xia Qianqian put on the talisman and stuffed it into her clothes: "Is this okay?"
"OK, thank you."
Liu Xing also quickly put on his talisman, his face full of joy, feeling that his life was saved.
"I'm leaving, you should go home quickly too!" said Xia Qianqian.
"good."
Liu Xing fulfilled his wish and finally stopped pestering Xia Qianqian and left on his own.
Qin asked: "Qianqian, what did Liu Xing ask you to do?"
"It's okay." Xia Qianqian concealed the fact that she wore the talisman, thinking it was just a simple task. She never expected that it would be the beginning of her disaster...
