Chapter 1442 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
The doctor should have added some calming herbs to the prescription.
After Shi Li finished drinking, she sat on the chair and gradually felt her eyelids become too heavy to lift up, and her head became dizzy.
Her head moved back and forth, and even a strand of hair by her ear swayed back and forth.
Luo Qingyan was stunned and it took him a long time to react. He pretended to cough and clear his throat.
"Hey... Shi Li, go to bed and have some sleep!"
Shi Li turned her head slowly, her mind too sleepy to have any attack power, and smiled at him.
"Thank you. I'm fine."
After saying that, she pinched her arm without hesitation.
"Hiss!" Luo Qingyan seemed to feel the same way, frowning and saying, "You're crazy!"
The sharp pain made Shi Li a little more sober. She smiled at Luo Qingyan again and casually talked about her past.
"I once escorted a priceless piece of warm jade. I didn't sleep for two days and two nights on the road. You are much more valuable than that piece of jade."
What Shi Li said was the truth. The original owner followed in his father's footsteps and in order to replace Shi Buhuo and make the Wenchang Escort Agency famous, he only picked the most difficult escorts.
The original owner was escorting that piece of warm jade, which was for the richest man in Jiangnan to use for his son's medical treatment. As soon as he got it, he was targeted by a famous thief in the world.
Other escort agencies were worried about damaging their reputation and were unwilling to take on this escort, otherwise the original owner would not have had a turn.
In order to deliver the warm jade safely to the richest man, the original owner worked very hard along the way, and in order to guard against thieves, he didn't dare to close his eyes and sleep.
Until now, Shi Li still has a deep scar on his back, which was left from the fight with the thief.
It was also this successful escort mission that made the Wenchang Escort Agency and its original owner famous, and business gradually improved afterwards.
But after hearing these words, Luo Qingyan didn't feel comforted at all. His fingers clenched together silently, getting tighter and tighter.
It seemed as if there was a buildup of unrelieved depression in his chest, making him feel very uncomfortable.
After holding it in for a long time, he stared at Shi Li with a sullen face and asked through gritted teeth: "You compare me to a dead object?"
"Oh, did I offend Master Luo? I'm so sorry."
Shi Li touched his forehead and was much more talkative than usual. His smile was more sincere. "But you don't have to take it too seriously. This is how we, the vulgar escorts, talk. We have absolutely no ill intentions."
At this moment, if Luo Qingyan was given a chance to start over, he would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never say the word "vulgar" again.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. He could only silently endure Shi Li using the word "vulgar" to shut him up again and again, and he could not refute a single word.
After a moment of silence, Luo Qingyan lowered his voice and asked, "Are you going to do this for the rest of your life?"
Being a bodyguard is more dangerous than traveling the world, and it is really not something a girl should do.
The more Luo Qingyan thought about it, the more he thought about it, but he didn't realize that he was never a nosy person and the amount of attention he gave to Shi Li was already too much.
"How could that be possible?" Shi Li chuckled. After talking for a while, she felt much better and didn't mind telling the truth to Luo Qingyan.
"After this escort mission, my father and I can retire from the business world. In the future, we can take the young escorts in the escort agency to take on a few escort missions that are not too demanding, and we can live a good life."
Luo Qingyan, who was treated as a sucker, felt inexplicably relieved at this moment.
He said that a girl shouldn't sleep in the open air outside every day.
Shi Li's physique was still better than that of ordinary people. After drinking a bowl of medicine, she was almost fully recovered.
The group rested in the inn for a day and set out again the next day.
Before leaving, Shi Li specially went to find Yi Can.
"Brother, you are injured. Why don't you rest here? I will come back to pick you up when I return from escort duty."
Upon hearing this, Yi Can couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Junior sister, I'm not a child. Your escort this time is different from the previous ones. I came here specially, not to stay here. I am accompanying you."
It's so gentle, it's hard to resist.
Shi Li opened her mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
No one knows that what she is thinking at this moment is that Yi Can is now a wounded person, and if he encounters danger on the road again, he will have to take his safety into consideration. It would be safer and more convenient for him to stay here.
Now all she wants is to complete this escort mission well and earn 12,000 taels of silver. Men will only affect the speed at which she makes money!
