Chapter 789
: Settling down first
Huo Qingqing's speculation is correct. Gu Tianlin tortured her, and today is just the beginning.
That night, there was nothing that was worried about. Gu Tianlin seemed to have not returned to the mansion to spend the night, but Huo Qingqing slept for several hours. She didn't know what to use to describe her mood when she happened the next day.
A maid who specializes in serving her brought her a lot of beautiful clothes, shoes and jewelry. To be honest, this is not the place where Huo Qingqing plays with her personality and uniqueness, it is the place where the tiger's den.
So, Huo Qingqing could only accept it with a smile.
Next was Guo Linquan, Wang Aunt Wang, Feng Tao and Xiaoxin came to the mansion to do business, and they seemed to be serving her and let her dispatch, but they were all Gu Tianlin's people.
Looking for medicinal materials for Gu Tianlin to treat his illness, he went to Tianqian Mountain, and the people accompanying her were Guo Linquan and Feng Tao, as well as several big-headed soldiers.
They have been in the mountains, so the process of finding medicinal materials is not difficult.
For some medicinal materials that are more difficult to identify, Huo Qingqing drew shapes on paper for them, and everyone acted separately.
Before the sun sets, after finishing work, Guo Linquan said he would go to Jinghu to eat something and go down the mountain. In this way, everyone is so energetic. After all, you have to walk and ride a horse to drive back to the foot of the mountain.
"Miss Huo, why don't you tell us a joke today? How long hasn't you seen me? Miss Huo is not as lively and cute as she used to be on the mountain." said a boy who had been on the mountain together.
The others didn't respond, and each held a bowl of noodles cooked from Jinghu.
But everyone was pricking up and listening to Huo Qingqing's suspicion, and some people secretly observed Huo Qingqing's face.
After all, people have heard a lot of rumors recently. The Grand Marshal is going to marry the Bai family bordering the North. I am afraid Miss Huo is not happy?
Huo Qingqing also brought a big bowl of noodles like them, but she asked the aunt to scooped her a few noodles, and the rest were soup.
After eating a few noodles elegantly, Huo Qingqing wiped her mouth, and then said, "I'm so tired recently, how can I be so energetic to chat with you!"
Someone asked Huo Qingqing again, "Miss Huo, why are we making so many medicinal herbs? Now the army is full of Western medicine, who can use these herbs for no reason?"
Huo Qingqing said, "Every traditional Chinese and Western medicine needs to be used, and these medicinal materials are all precious medicinal materials. You can escort them, and one or two are indispensable."
Huo Qingqing was indeed running between the hospital and the Grand Marshal's Mansion. She was very tired and heard a lot of gossip, but she treated it as a warning to her. She had thought about escaping, but she knew there was no chance. She was in the battlefield hospital in one day, the newly renovated pharmaceutical factory laboratory, the Grand Marshal's Mansion, three points and one line, and Gu Tianlin's people were "escorted" throughout the whole process.
Only going to the toilet and taking a bath is her personal private space, but there are people watching her outside.
The medicine given to Gu Tianlin every day is even more afraid to tamper with it. From beginning to end, she and Aunt Wang must decoct the medicine. That's it, Gu Tianlin asked her to taste it himself before taking the medicine.
Regarding the marriage between Gu Tianlin and Bai Lizhen, Yan Cheng said that the smallpox is already falling, and for Huo Qingqing, she hopes that this marriage will come as soon as possible, so that she can be freed from Gu Tianlin's nose.
But Huo Qingqing didn't know how true the news was.
Recently, people in the pharmaceutical factory and hospital have been much better at her than before, but the look of laughter is simply unscrupulous, especially for women.
"I heard that our Grand Marshal is going to marry the young lady of the Bai family? Alas~ I really don't know if some women who want to reach the top will cry in the bathroom?" A newly appointed factory director secretary said sourly.
The others looked at Huo Qingqing, but no one answered the secretary's words.
Although Huo Qingqing has no rights or status in hospitals or pharmaceutical factories, and has no military rank, she only has a medical research and development staff. Although there are people she can dispatch at any time around, they are all arranged by Gu Tianlin's lackeys, such as Wang Zhuonan and Zhu Shaocheng.
But no matter what, Huo Qingqing is often ridiculed and abused by others in a hospital or a pharmaceutical factory, but no one has scolded her by name, and no one has ever attacked her. Therefore, she basically endured her if she could tolerate her and was too lazy to make enemies for herself.
After all, in this huge Yan City, people who regard their Huo family and Jiangbei as enemies, and she is the daughter and sister of the enemy who violated and plundered their homes in their eyes.
The reason why Huo Qingqing has never been scolded or beaten by those names is that she feels that maybe in their eyes and hearts, she still has amnesia?
Therefore, reasoning with an amnesia, presenting facts, and asking for explanations is like reasoning with a fool.
The person who came to pick up Huo Qingqing this day was actually Guo Linquan. But she had a lot of work today, so Guo Linquan waited for a while, and an incident occurred in the workshop where someone attacked Huo Qingqing.
Gu Tianlin's order to Huo Qingqing was that the formula must be more advanced than Liu Ruyan's formula. Therefore, Huo Qingqing was desperate and borrowed the telegraph machine from the Grand Marshal's Mansion and sent a telegraph to Liu Ruyan for help under the supervision of their telegraphers.
Huo Qingqing knew how to translate and convert various Sherlock Holmes codes, so she added a few code words to Liu Ruyan's telegram. Only she knew the code words. She taught Liu Ruyan to learn Sherlock Holmes codes. Then, she thought, Liu Ruyan would definitely understand.
Huo Qingqing wanted Liu Ruyan to help her tell Jiang Bei that her father and brother would save her.
After receiving the telegram, Liu Ruyan understood everything. She knew that Huo Qingqing was very helpless and panicked now. However, the current form was too subtle and complicated. She thought that Huo Qingqing would be better to stay in Yancheng. Otherwise, either stir up a meaningless battle and tension, or after her despair of family affection, people completely lost the hope of survival.
The reason why people choose to live, hold on and carry on in the face of difficulties is because of hope and faith, otherwise they will not be able to persevere.
Therefore, Liu Ruyan gave Huo Qingqing the greatest help in the formula, but when asking for help, she replied with the thirteen words of Huo Qingqing, "Only by calmness can you settle down and make a living. The overall situation is the most important thing."
Of course, Liu Ruyan only used the Sherlock Holmes conversion code that she and Huo Qingqing could understand.
