Chapter 469: This Is a Lifesaving Thing

Gu Yundong went to the pharmacy next door and grabbed a few herbs.
Then, she found an empty place and wrapped the letter for Qin Wenzheng with oil paper in two layers before placing it in the secret compartment of the box that she had just made. She took a hairpin and placed it in the box before covering it.
Then, she took the medicine bag and box to an escort company not far away.
She went straight to the escort in charge. “I want to send something to Fengkai County in Xuanhe Prefecture, but the thing I want to send is very urgently needed. It’s best if it can be delivered within four days.”
The escort leader frowned. Four days? It was a little rushed to travel from Wanqing Prefecture to Xuanhe Prefecture.
He did not agree and only asked, “What’s to be sent?”
Gu Yundong took out a medicine bag and a box. “I have a friend who’s terminally ill and needs medicine urgently. These are the medicines I found for her. They’re for saving her life. And this box. She left the hairpin inside with me. It’s something her mother left for her. Let’s leave it for her as a memento.”
The escort leader understood. This was a life-saving thing, and it didn’t leave any regrets.
After a pause, he looked at Gu Yundong and said, “We’ll take this escort, but you know that if we want to rush to the Xuanhe Prefecture in such a short time, not to mention traveling day and night, we’ll definitely have to change horses inbetween. I’m afraid this price is not cheap.”
“I know. Here’s a hundred taels of silver. Is it enough?”
The escort leader’s expression relaxed a little. “That’s enough.”
In a few days, at most two people were required to deliver the thing. It was not a loss to earn a hundred taels.
Furthermore, the journey to the Xuanhe Prefecture was very peaceful. It was not like they were escorting a large number of goods, so they would not encounter any danger.
It wouldn’t cost much to change horses. He just needed to make up the difference in price.
Gu Yundong discussed with the escort leader again and gave him the address. He also repeatedly reminded him that the escort this time was for saving lives. If the item could be delivered as soon as possible, it should be delivered as soon as possible.
She knew that this escort agency was trustworthy. The escort leader valued loyalty. Moreover, the escort leader had said that he would do this job himself.
Gu Yundong was relieved and turned to leave.
She had no choice. If she just let the escort agency deliver the letter, she would be finished if she accidentally lost it or if someone saw the contents.
She bought medicine and made a secret compartment. Although it took some effort, it was at least safer.
In the future, she had to think of a way to get some secret code or something. Her family would understand and find the information she wanted them to know. This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about others seeing the letter.
This time, the address Gu Yundong gave the escort leader was Qin Wenzheng’s school. She was afraid that someone would know about Qin Wenzheng, so the recipient was simply “Ge”.
Qin Wenzheng was such a smart person. When he saw the medicine packet, he should be able to guess that she had sent it to him, right? After all, he knew that she had come to Wanqing Prefecture to look for medicine.
She had given him medicine for no reason, and there was also an inexplicable hairpin and box. He would definitely notice that something was wrong.
He was a young top scholar after all, so his brain worked quickly.
Gu Yundong expressed that she was very confident in Qin Wenzheng. Hopefully, he would not want to disappoint him.
As for the 100 taels of silver, she would get it back from the Xin family.
After she was done, she turned around and walked towards the inn.
Before leaving, she even went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a few sets of clothes for Gu Dajiang and Xue Rong.
When she went to Grandpa Yu’s house, she didn’t bring Gu Dajiang’s two sets of tattered clothes back.
She couldn’t wear those clothes at all. They were all patched up. Could it be that she was wearing the clothes cleanly and let her father wear dirty clothes?
Carrying his clothes, Gu Yundong’s footsteps became much lighter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the inn, he saw a familiar middle-aged man.
Wasn’t this… the man who was talking to Xin Zhiyuan in the room that day?
