Chapter 23: Three Treasures in the Siheyuan

"Oops~"

"You are... You are Xiaoqiang?"

"Oh! I'm so sorry, are you okay?"

Qin Huairu did not expect that she would bump into someone at the gate when she got up so early. She screamed first, then hurriedly looked outside the gate. When she found that the person who was knocked down was Li Guoqiang, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Then, without caring about the dull pain in her chest from the collision, she hurried forward to check on Li Guoqiang, fearing that she would be involved in a murder case by accident.

At this time, Li Guoqiang's head was a little dizzy. He only remembered that his mouth and nose suddenly felt stuffy, and then it seemed as if he was bounced away by something.

The elasticity of that thing was really amazing, it almost broke his neck.

In addition, his butt hit the bluestone floor hard. If he hadn't improved his physical fitness a little in the past two days and had a high mental strength, he would have fainted.

He shook his head hard, trying to make himself more awake, but suddenly he felt even more dizzy.

So, he reflexively wanted to reach out and grab something, but ended up grabbing someone's soft spot, which instantly made the other person stunned.

Immediately afterwards, without even waiting for his mind to receive the report of the discovery of the treasure in his palm, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

After all, he had been working hard for more than three hours straight before this, and his body had long been unable to bear it. In the end, he relied on the strong willpower honed in his previous life and the joy of a great harvest to hold on.

Originally, if he could get home safely, crawl into the warm bed and have a good sleep, everything would be fine when he woke up.

However, this sudden collision was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing all the fatigue in his body to burst out at once, so the most direct consequence was that he fainted.

His fainting immediately frightened Qin Huairu terribly, and her already fair face suddenly turned pale.

Afterwards, she didn't care that the faucet switch was still tightly held in Li Guoqiang's hand. She immediately reached out to hold Li Guoqiang's shoulders and shook him continuously, making rapid calls out one after another.

"Xiao Qiang, wake up quickly! Please don't scare me. I'm timid and can't stand being scared. Wake up quickly!"

"Xiao Qiang! Xiao Qiang!"

"Are you out of breath?"

Thinking of Li Guoqiang's usual sickly look, as if he would fall down at the slightest gust of wind, and the fact that the faucet she had just brought was dented, Qin Huairu couldn't help but have a look of fear in her eyes.

Then, she put her finger under Li Guoqiang's nose with some trembling, wanting to see if he was really dead.

However, before she could feel the hot air exhaled by Li Guoqiang, Li Guoqiang suddenly opened his eyes, and she was almost scared to the point of peeing her pants.

At this moment, Li Guoqiang's eyes were a little confused, and he seemed not to realize what had happened until an excited and tender voice sounded in his ears. He suddenly reacted and couldn't help feeling relieved.

If Father Jin had not sensed that his physical condition was not good and promptly distributed the extra ten times the physical exercise effect he had gained from jogging all the way back, it is estimated that no one would know how long he would remain in a coma before waking up.

"Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang, are you okay? Say something to me!" Qin Huairu's mood, which had been relieved, suddenly tensed up again when she saw Li Guoqiang didn't say a word after waking up.

When Li Guoqiang heard Qin Huairu's anxious voice, he hurriedly stopped sighing and focused his attention on the face of the beautiful woman in the courtyard who was old but still charming. At the same time, he finally received a report in his right palm, wanting to use all his strength to capture the enemy's high ground.

In an instant, his heart skipped a beat, and then he hurriedly ordered his right hand to withdraw from the position, and did not forget to open his mouth first to cover it.

"I'm fine, Aunt Huairu, don't worry, I just fell on my butt and got a stitch in the side!"

"Are you really okay? How about I take you to the hospital now?"

When Qin Huairu heard Li Guoqiang talking, she felt a little relieved, but then she thought of how Li Guoqiang had fainted just now, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried again.

If it was a more normal and stronger man, she might be able to turn the tables and tell others that it was the other party who knocked her down. However, this man was a well-known sickly person. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would not believe that Li Guoqiang could knock down a graceful and graceful second-level fitter like her.

Therefore, she had no way to shirk responsibility for this matter and could only hope from the bottom of her heart that Li Guoqiang was in good health.

If something bad happened to her, wouldn't the Li family hate her to death?
In order to avoid this situation from happening, she had no choice but to make a big investment and take Li Guoqiang to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

In this way, even if Li Guoqiang has any health problems in the future, it can no longer be blamed on her.

I have to say that as the most powerful woman in the courtyard, she is quite smart.

However, don't forget that Li Guoqiang opened a bar with someone in his previous life, and he has seen all kinds of people. Therefore, as soon as he heard Qin Huairu's words, he knew what she was planning.

It is a rare good thing to be able to go to the hospital for a thorough physical examination without spending your own money.

But he was very clear about his physical condition, so there was no need to waste the money.

After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that there were three treasures in the courtyard, namely the food made by Sha Zhu, the dowry of Lou Xiao'e, and the cloth shoes given by Jia Zhang. He immediately had an idea in his mind.

"No need, Aunt Huairu. I know my own body well. I should be fine as long as I can go back and have a good sleep. If you feel bad about it, then see if you can give me one or two pairs of your mother-in-law's cloth shoes."

"After all, everyone in our courtyard knows that your cloth shoes are the best, and I will be going to the countryside soon, so I really need a pair of better cloth shoes."

"Okay, then when I come back this afternoon, I'll ask my mother-in-law for two pairs of cloth shoes and send them to you."

When Qin Huairu heard Li Guoqiang's request, she hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to agree.

Although this is not as safe as going to the hospital for a physical examination, and she also has to find a way to explain to Jia Zhang, but she still thinks it is worth it to be able to shut Li Guoqiang's mouth with two pairs of cloth shoes.

After negotiating the terms, she first helped Li Guoqiang up from the ground, and then hurried towards the nearby bus stop in the dim light.

Li Guoqiang looked at Qin Huairu's graceful figure as she left, shook his head gently, then hurriedly walked into the courtyard gate, wanting to hide his watch, flashlight, glasses, big yellow croaker, old jade ring, 37 yuan and the small cloth bag of tickets in a secret place before anyone in the family got up.

However, before he reached the archway of the screen wall, he heard a creaking sound from the hanging flower door on the right, and then saw an unexpected person appear behind the door.
