Mrs. Zhao felt happy and touched her heavy purse. She must have a lot of money in it. Brother Xiao was so polite.
How much food can an eight-year-old child eat? The weight of this purse of money, Mrs. Zhao estimates, can feed Gu Jinan for several years.
Mrs. Zhao politely declined for a few times, and finally pretended that she couldn't resist Old Man Xiao, and then accepted the money.
Gu Jinan couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he watched his shameless master take the money he earned and arrange his future life.
Ever since he got the Blood Lotus, Gu Jinan knew that his master was leaving, but he didn't expect that his master would ask the Yun family to take care of him.
In fact, he could take care of himself by himself, but thinking of that magical and mysterious little girl, Gu Jinan did not refuse his master's arrangement before leaving.
Moreover, he owed that little girl a lot of favors. Even though he knew that the little girl was more powerful than him, he still wanted to repay the favor as much as possible or protect her.
While Gu Jinan was lost in thought, Li Wanrou's voice reached the ears of several people chatting in the yard.
"Mom, the food is ready! You can eat now."
"Hey, here it comes."
"Brother Xiao, it's just right. Let's have dinner at my house today. It's just a good time to tell everyone in the family that if Jin'an wants to live in my house from now on, he can live in my house. If he wants to go back to the yard next door, he can go back to the next door."
"Haha, then as my sister said, we will have dinner at your house today."
"By the way, I heard the occasional sound of children reading from my sister's house. Since my apprentice was four years old, I have only taught him kung fu and some books I have at home. I have not taught him formal reading and literacy."
"Although he has some basic knowledge, he is not as knowledgeable as your third son. I am going out in the next few days, so I would like to trouble my sister and let me, my apprentice, learn from your son."
"Hey, what's the matter? One sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being driven. Jin'an is the only one to be driven. It's just right for them to be together."
"Thank you very much."
"Brother Xiao, you're welcome."
Old Man Xiao made arrangements for Gu Jinan and felt a lot more relaxed. He was in his forties and had never married. He really raised Gu Jinan as his disciple as his son.
At that time, he had just rescued him from the hands of human traffickers. He was like a wounded little beast. He had already dealt with the kidnapper. At such a young age, he just found a nearby stone and smashed the kidnapper until his flesh and blood were blurred.
At that time, Gu Jinan was filled with an air of hostility. He didn't know what the child had gone through to make him want to whip the body of a dead person to vent his anger.
At that time, he just saved him casually, but from then on, the child followed him until he accepted him as his disciple.
Although he had been teaching him Kungfu over the years, as his poison became increasingly uncontrollable, it was he, his disciple, who paid for him.
Old Xiao sometimes thinks that if he had not confiscated Gu Jinan as his disciple, he might have died of poison a long time ago.
As a master, he owed him a lot, which is why he had to make arrangements for him before he left.
Old man Xiao put his thoughts back and followed Mrs. Zhao into the main hall of the Yun family. After having breakfast at the Yun family, he took Gu Jinan back to his home.
Before going back, I also told Mrs. Zhao that from tomorrow on, there would be no need to deliver food to the next door, and there would be no need to refund the money. It would all be used as Gu Jinan's meal money.
There was nothing wrong with Mrs. Zhao. She repeatedly promised that she would take good care of Gu Jinan.
The master and apprentice just went back together. Today is the last day that master and apprentice will be together. There are some things that Old Man Xiao has to explain to Gu Jinan.
…
Shanghe County, county government, two days ago.
Since Wang Zhi was driven out of the city by the magistrate of Fuxi County, he has been coming to Shanghe County non-stop.
Although their Mingyuan Village is under the jurisdiction of Fuxi County, it is not far from the jurisdiction of He County.
Now that there is a plague in their village, the neighboring villages and towns will definitely be infected by the villagers who escaped from their village.
Moreover, five or six days have passed since he came out of the village. I don’t know how many people have been infected by the terrible plague?
How many more people died?
His father asked him to report to the government before he died, and he must fulfill his father's last wish.
Wang Zhi drove a dusty two-day journey from Fuxi County and finally arrived in front of the county government in Shanghe County.
He was not going to let the official report this time. He directly picked up the drumstick and beat the injustice drum in front of the county government office.
He didn't know if the magistrate of Shanghe County could believe what he said, and he didn't know if the magistrate of Shanghe County would issue an order, let alone whether the magistrate of Shanghe County would be like the magistrate of Fuxi County.
, only seeking to protect themselves, regardless of whether the people live or die.
He risked his own life and had to complete what his father told him.
The sound of drums made Magistrate Wu in the county government stunned. This was the first time since he took over as county magistrate that he heard the sound of drums for grievances and put down what he was doing.
With the servants waiting on him, he quickly put on his official uniform, packed up and walked to the front office.
At this time, Wang Zhi had been brought to the county government by the official in front of the county government office.
With a mighty sound~
Magistrate Wu also followed his master into the county government office, and Wang Zhi knelt down respectfully.
Magistrate Wu's majestic voice reached Wang Zhi's ears: "Who is here? What grievances are there?"
"Your Excellency, the grassroots man is Wang Zhi, the son of the village head of Mingyuan Village in Zhusha Town, Fuxi County, a neighboring county."
"Huh? You are not a villager in this county, why are you beating the drum of injustice in our county?"
"My lord, it is a helpless act for common people to beat the drum of grievance."
"Oh? Please tell me and listen."
"Yes, sir, a plague occurred in Mingyuan Village where the grassroots are located a few days ago..."
"What? Plague?"
Before Wang Zhi finished speaking, Magistrate Wu interrupted him in shock.
Wang Zhi's heart skipped a beat, wouldn't the magistrate of Shanghe County have to ignore it? Just when he thought he would find another magistrate, Magistrate Wu spoke.
"Go on, when did the plague start? How are you sure that the people in your village are infected with the plague? And why did you come to our county to report to the official?"
"Yes, sir, the plague occurred about half a month ago. As for how ordinary people can determine the plague, there is no need to confirm it at all."
"At the beginning, some villagers in the village started to cough slightly. At first, the people in the village didn't pay attention, thinking that it was because of the heavy snowfall in recent days that they were sick."
"But then these coughing people started to have fever. In just three or four days, these sick and feverish villagers developed ulcers and abscesses on their bodies, and they could not get out of bed. The same happened to the villagers who were in contact with these people in the first place.
Case."
"Some old people in the village who had experienced the incident discovered this situation and immediately speculated that the people in the village might have been infected with the plague. Only the plague would cause people to suffer from the same illness one after another."
"Even Cao Min's father was unfortunately infected. When my father first became ill, he locked himself in the house alone and refused to allow Cao Min to have contact with him. This also allowed Cao Min and his wife to escape.
Tribulation.”
"When Cao Min's father was dying, he repeatedly asked Cao Min to report to the government. However, Cao Min went to our county government office and informed the county magistrate of the matter. And you know, the county magistrate directly sent people to drive Cao Min out of the county government office."
