339 Take Her Down!
Madam Peng’s face was full of enthusiasm, she walked up and stuffed an oil paper bag into Gu Qingxue’s arms. “Miss Gu, you’ve worked hard. This is a meat bun made by my family. If you don’t mind, you can have two. Don’t work on an empty stomach all the time.”
“I also brought the soybean milk that my family ground this morning. Miss Gu, have a taste!” Hunter Zhang also came up with a face full of enthusiasm and handed the soybean milk that had crashed into the bamboo tube to Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue answered with a smile. Then she looked at an old woman not far away whose legs were inconvenient. “Grandma Li, when everyone has drunk the medicine, I’ll go and help you with acupuncture.”
After hearing this, Grandma Li showed a flattered expression on her face. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “I’m not in a hurry, Miss Gu. Thank you for your hard work.”
Gu Qingxue casually said that she was fine and continued to distribute the medicine to everyone.
She had become very familiar with the villagers in tie Jia village over the past few days.
Gu Qingxue’s first impression of the villagers was different from the first time she met them. After getting along with the villagers, she realized that they were actually very sensible and reasonable people. Moreover, they were all very simple people.
Therefore, in addition to controlling the plague and preventing it from spreading further, she would also help the villagers treat some minor illnesses.
An hour later, the villagers had finished drinking the medicine. Gu Qingxue then went to help Grandma Li treat her leg, which she had accidentally sprained a few days ago.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Gu Qingxue worked for an hour, massaging and performing acupuncture.
When Gu Qingxue took back the last needle, Grandma Li turned her ankle, showing a pleasantly surprised expression. She said with a smile, “Lady Gu, you’re simply a God!”
“It’s just a piece of cake.” Gu Qingxue withdrew the silver needle and then heard the sound of horse hooves approaching.
As she was sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village, Gu Qingxue turned her head to look at the path that extended out of the village. She saw a group of people approaching aggressively.
Seeing the guards surrounding a horse carriage that was aiming at the golden border, Gu Qingxue suddenly had a bad feeling.
This was the sense of danger that she had developed after living for two lifetimes. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
As if to confirm Gu Qingxue’s guess, the guards quickly cut off the iron wire that blocked the entrance of Tie family village and forced their way in.
“What are you doing?! Our village has a plague, so you can’t come here!” The villagers said uneasily when they saw the group of people who had forced their way in.
However, the group of guards did not move at all. They quickly stood on both sides of the road to open a path for the carriage to come over and stop steadily in front of them.
At this moment, Prince Heng pulled open the curtains. His gaze swept across the faces of the people and soon locked onto Gu Qingxue.
Not to mention anything else, the otherworldly aura around Gu Qingxue was enough to prove that she was definitely not from the pond.
Especially Gu Qingxue’s pair of pitch-black eyes. Even after meeting his gaze, she still appeared nonchalant and did not show the slightest fear.
Prince Heng also held power in the imperial court. Among all the officials in the imperial court, apart from Rong Zhan, no one had ever dared to face his gaze.
However, Gu Qingxue did it. She did not care at all about how sharp Prince Heng’s aura was. Instead, she used her calm eyes to stare at him quietly.
“Are you Gu Qingxue?” Prince Heng narrowed his eyes and asked unhappily.
Gu Qingxue was not surprised at all. She answered calmly, “Yes.”
Prince Heng sneered, “Someone, take her down!”
