Chapter 060 There is no turning back

Old Master Gu sighed and tried to dissuade him, but Zhang Xiang just fell asleep.

"You don't understand. Sometimes this person is not easy to deal with." Mr. Gu said helplessly.

Li Mumu agreed with what her grandfather said very much, but if Zhang Xiang didn't take anyone with him, they wouldn't be able to leave because they would be treated as fugitives.

Besides, it's too late.

Suddenly, there were flickering lights in the woods, several times or even dozens of times more than the ones chasing them just now.

"Boss, boss!" The yamen runners also realized that the situation was not good and hurried to call Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Xiang was impatient, "Why are you shouting? I'm sleeping."

"Don't sleep, there are so many people."

"We are from the imperial court..." Zhang Xiang opened his eyes impatiently, and seeing the people holding torches around them, he was so scared that he swallowed the words he hadn't finished speaking.

The torches illuminated the faces of the people who came. They looked at everyone as if they were looking at food. Their eyes were terrifying.

"How dare you... We... We are from the imperial court, and we have been ordered to escort the imperial prisoner. Why don't you leave quickly?" Zhang Xiang shouted without any confidence.

However, those people remained indifferent and continued to stare at them.

A cold wind blew by, and the sour smell on them was nauseating.

"You...what on earth do you want to do?" Zhang Xiang asked again, "You dare to surround the police? Don't you want to die?"

Then he drew his knife. The victims were indeed frightened and stepped back a little, but hunger and death made them fearless.

"We want to eat." Someone in the crowd said.

"I...we don't have any, they...they have much better food." Zhao shouted exactly the same as Li.

"Yes, they have everything at home." Old Mrs. Li also agreed.

Li Mumu looked at this group of ungrateful people and really wanted the victims to roast and eat them.

"Uncle, you just want to eat, right?"

The leading man looked at Li Mumu. Her young face was full of innocence under the firelight. The man paused slightly, then nodded, "Hand over the things. We only want food, not anyone else."

"Okay!" Gu Jian nodded. "Madam, go and get the food to the heroes."

Old Madam Gu did not refuse, but called her daughter-in-law to go get some food. If she could exchange a little food for everyone's safety, it would be worth it.

Anyway, they still have money.

But the Li family really can't stand seeing others doing well.

Especially Li Rong, all the retribution she got was what she deserved.

"They... they still have banknotes. Good men, take them all."

"Rongrong!" Li Yuan shouted.

The victims' eyes lit up and they talked about it incessantly.

It was the leader who spoke again. "Everyone, we don't want to embarrass you. We are the ones who have fled here because of the disaster back home. We haven't eaten in a long time. Please take out the banknotes and the food...you can keep some for yourselves."

Li Mumu saw a flash of embarrassment on his face, and thought that he must be a person with a strong sense of self-esteem.

Zhang Xiang also calmed down a bit, knowing that they were just disaster victims and not bandits, which made things much easier.

He knew that the Gu family was powerful and it would be easy for them to deal with ordinary people.

"Mr. Gu, why are you wasting your time talking to them? You dare to target people from the imperial court. I think you are tired of living."

"Hurry up and release Mr. Gu, and let them kill all these guys."

If they were bandits, Mr. Gu might have eliminated them for the people, but these were the people, these were the common people, and he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

Even if they were wrong to steal things, people are not saints and human nature cannot stand the test.

"We are many in number, so we are not afraid of them." Some of the victims were eager to try.

But the young man still shouted, "Wait a minute, Big Head Brother, if we really hurt someone, there will be no turning back. We only want some things as agreed, old man, in the future... in the future, when our lives get better, we will pay it back. It's a loan, it's a loan."

"Turn back? How can I turn back? My wife is gone, my three children are gone, and my youngest daughter was just born and hasn't even had a sip of milk. Brother Dongqing, tell me, why should I turn back?"

"Stop talking. Dongqing's daughter just died yesterday. Everyone's family has someone dead. It's not just yours."

Li Mumu glanced in Dongqing's direction. No wonder she looked at her with such intriguing eyes just now.

"But there are seven or eight people in my family, and I'm the only one left." Big Head shouted.

The man named Dongqing raised his head and said, "Old man, to be honest, some of our people are sick and need to be taken to see a doctor. Otherwise... we won't touch the money."

Li Mumu knew that it was a plague, and she knew even better what would happen to these people.

They wanted to flee to the capital, but before they had gone far, they were surrounded and surrounded by a group of soldiers sent by the old emperor. They were all killed and their bodies burned.

"Uncle, I can treat illnesses!" Li Mumu remembered his words about taking food and not hurting anyone, and was willing to give them a chance.

"You? Are you kidding?"

Dong Qing looked into Li Mumu's serious eyes and raised her hand to stop the man's suspicion. "Can you really treat illnesses?"

Li Mumu nodded. "Is anyone among you suffering from a persistent high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea?"

"It's amazing! How did she know?" someone shouted.

"My sister knows how to treat illnesses." Li Yunjue said.

Dongqing's eyes lit up, "Little girl, you...you know our symptoms, so...can you cure it?"

Li Mumu nodded slightly, "It should be possible."

When Li Mumu was reading the book, she thought that this disease was not difficult to treat at all. As long as the old emperor was willing to send someone, it could be cured. But he had to be so drastic.

She already had a prescription in her mind at that time. After traveling through time, in order to prevent her family from being infected, she continued to research and improve the prescription, which was very easy for her.

"Then... can the external injury be cured?" Dongqing asked expectantly.

"What kind of injury?"

"A knife wound, no... an arrow wound? I'm not sure. The wound is quite deep. It's a child about his age. We just found him. It doesn't look like he'll survive."

"Uncle, don't you want to eat him?"

Holly was amused. "How could that be? That was a human being. We don't eat humans."

"This little girl is really interesting."

Li Mumu also wanted to make the atmosphere more relaxed. "Then bring that person over here so I can take a look."

"We... didn't dare touch him. The blood was flowing."

Li Mumu nodded. "Then I'll go with you to see him, but... you can't hurt my family. Of course, you can't beat them either. My grandfather and my uncles are all great generals."

Li Mumu knew that they were forced to do so and did not want a conflict to arise between the two sides.

"General? May I ask your name, sir?"

Old Master Gu sighed, "Alas, shame on me, my last name is Gu..."

"Are you General Gu?" Dongqing shouted excitedly.

After receiving a positive answer, he suddenly knelt down, and not only him, but everyone present also knelt down.
