Leng Ruo Li saw that Tao Xiang Qing had no more questions, so she walked out of Tao Xiang Qing's ward.
She saw that not many people came to the medical hall to see a doctor today, so she gathered most of the staff in the medical hall in the lounge to attend a lecture, explaining some medical knowledge and symptoms of some cases. Everyone listened very attentively.
But just then, Liu Nian Hua rushed in from outside with a wooden spatula for stir-frying.
"Wangfei, Wangfei, there's a thief in the kitchen."
"Thief? What thief?"
Leng Ruo Li was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
"Let's go, I'll go take a look!"
Leng Ruo Li said, lifted her leg, and walked out the door, heading towards the large kitchen in the courtyard. Liu Nian Hua and Lu Li Luo followed closely behind.
Leng Ruo Li walked into the kitchen and looked around, but she didn't see anyone or any animal hiding in the kitchen.
"Sister Nian Hua, there's nothing in this kitchen?" At this moment, Leng Ruo Li shrugged and said to Liu Nian Hua.
"But when I took the steamed buns out of the steamer just now, I always counted ten buns and put them in a basin. But as soon as I turned around, two buns would be missing, and it happened three times in a row. What exactly is going on? These buns can't just disappear out of thin air?"
Liu Nian Hua's eyes contained a look of confusion.
Leng Ruo Li listened and smiled slightly.
"Sister Nian Hua, it's just a few buns. If they disappear, they disappear. If they weren't extremely hungry, they wouldn't have come to our medical hall's kitchen to steal food," Leng Ruo Li said indifferently.
After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the kitchen roof. Then, she called out everyone in the kitchen and casually closed the kitchen door.
Everyone looked at Leng Ruo Li's actions and couldn't understand.
"Everyone, stop guarding the kitchen door. Go back to your posts and get to work."
Immediately, Leng Ruo Li waved her hand and dismissed everyone.
Subsequently, everyone dispersed in a daze, leaving only Leng Ruo Li and Liu Nian Hua outside the kitchen door.
"Wangfei, what are you going to do?" Liu Nian Hua asked curiously.
"Sister Nian Hua, today I'll take you to catch two big thieves."
At that moment, Leng Ruo Li blinked twice at Liu Nian Hua and said.
"Oh, oh!"
Although Liu Nian Hua still didn't understand Leng Ruo Li's actions, she nodded seriously.
After the kitchen quieted down, the two big thieves on the roof lifted the tiles and lowered a pair of iron hooks, hooking the two plump roast chickens from the kitchen like fishing.
But as soon as they got the two roast chickens, a cold wind blew behind them.
"Do our An Ji Tang's roast chickens smell good?"
Leng Ruo Li stared at the two people lying on the roof with deep eyes. Her clear and bright large apricot eyes were wide and round, and a sharp look flashed in the depths of her eyes.
The two big thieves were startled when they heard Leng Ruo Li's voice and almost dropped the roast chickens in their hands.
The two of them were stunned for a moment before they dared to slowly turn their heads around.
"Uh, Cold Wangfei, we were really too hungry, so we came to your An Ji Tang's kitchen to steal food."
"Yes, yes! We were both forced."
The two men quickly explained.
"Oh, it's you two. The Lin State Duke's mansion has been confiscated, and you still dare to wander around the capital. Aren't you afraid of being discovered and beheaded?"
Leng Ruo Li teased the two with a wicked smile.
"Cold Wangfei, since we assassinated you last time, we left Lin Hong Tao and started our own business."
"But the next day, we were beaten up by Cold King. To teach us a lesson, he fed us a de-cultivation drug, and then let us brothers fend for ourselves."
"After that, no matter how much money we brothers spent, we couldn't find a doctor who could cure our de-cultivation drug... We had to work as waiters in those taverns for several months. But we brothers have a large appetite, and the shopkeepers were not only extremely harsh on us, but they also restricted our food intake. We couldn't bear it any longer, so we ran away."
"But after we escaped, we couldn't get a meal anywhere. Others treated us like beggars. After a few days, we were starving, so we went to other people's kitchens to steal food. But when we stole, those ordinary families' kitchens only had a few steamed buns, and we couldn't bear it... However, by chance, my brother passed by An Ji Tang last night and learned that An Ji Tang was opened by Cold Wangfei. We guessed that your kitchen must have meat, so we climbed onto the roof of your An Ji Tang's kitchen to figure out a way to steal food."
The two big idiots on the roof told Leng Ruo Li honestly.
Leng Ruo Li couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing the two men's experiences.
"Hahaha..."
"You two are so funny. You're both martial artists, how could you have ended up like this?"
The two men rolled their eyes when they heard Leng Ruo Li's words. It was all thanks to your ruthless husband that we ended up like this. We were also first-time travelers and didn't know the dangers of the world.
"Hmph, hmph! What's so funny!"
In fact, these two disheveled young men were the same two men who Lin Hong Tao had ordered to assassinate her, telling her to run if she couldn't win.
These two were originally people of the martial world, and it was unclear how they became Lin Hong Tao's henchmen.
The first impression they left on Leng Ruo Li was that they were about twenty years old, with fair skin, good-looking features, tall and strong figures, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, holding swords in their hands, and their martial arts were also decent.
And now, these two could only be described by one word: "wretched."
Their bodies were covered in black, making them unrecognizable. They had also become thinner. Leng Ruo Li felt like they had just returned from digging coal, but in ancient times, people didn't know about digging coal.
How did these two manage to make themselves so miserable?
"You stole steamed buns and roast chicken from my kitchen today, you can't just eat them for free?" Leng Ruo Li said to the two of them.
The two men glanced at the roast chicken in their hands and cried injustice in their hearts. They only stole a few steamed buns from the An Ji Tang kitchen today. They hadn't even put the roast chicken in their mouths when Leng Ruo Li discovered them.
However, since they had accepted their gifts, they asked curiously, "What do you want us to do? I'll tell you, we are now like cripples. Not only do we have no martial arts, but we also can't exert much strength to work."
"Do you want to recover your cultivation? And return to your previous arrogant selves?"
Leng Ruo Li tempted them.
"Of course we want to, we dream about it every night. But we're so poor that we don't even have a penny. How can we afford to find those famous doctors... Oh, wait, I heard that Cold Wangfei, your medical skills..."
"Hahaha..."
"Brother, brother, we're saved this time!"
The thinner man said, suddenly raising his hand and patting the shoulder of the man beside him.
