Chapter 063 Mr. Gu seems to know something

Xie Xun made this decision after weighing the pros and cons.

Li Mumu looked at him, thinking of his disdainful look just now, "You want to follow us, have you asked us if we are willing to take you with us?"

Xie Xun: “…”

A real man can bend and stretch, and she is still a baby. Why should he bother with a little baby?

"I'm a free man and can help you with many things. You can let me do anything that is inconvenient for your family."

Li Mumu rolled her eyes. Although the yamen runners were no longer making things difficult for the Gu family, many things still required their approval, which was indeed a bit inconvenient.

Seeing that the little girl didn't seem to be so resistant anymore, Xie Xun continued to persuade her, "Besides, I don't need your things. I just need you to help me heal my wounds and detoxify."

Li Mumu didn't say anything, and Xie Xun wasn't sure what she was thinking. After all, this was his first time dealing with such a young child.

He couldn't help but soften his voice, "Um...if you have any other requests, just tell me."

Li Mumu is not really a three-year-old child. This little boy is so young, but he was injured and poisoned. He is not an ordinary child.

She was wondering whether saving him would cause trouble for her family.

This guy chose to follow me, firstly because he could detoxify me, and secondly because he could probably escape being hunted down, right?

After all, they are an exiled team, especially since they have to go to the north, so they can indeed hide a little.

"I will reward you handsomely. When I get better, whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will give it to you."

This tone was quite loud. Li Mumu recalled the plot and really couldn't find such a person.

Never mind, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die, and this strange poison also aroused her competitive spirit. Saving him would help herself first, and if he really came from a powerful background in the future, maybe he could help the Gu family.

Li Mumu, thinking of making more friends, nodded and extended a finger. "Deal, but if you follow me, you have to listen to me."

Xie Xun looked at the chubby little finger stretched out towards him and felt it was a little childish, but the little girl was very persistent and would not retract it until he made a pinky promise.

He had no choice but to become a follower.

After making a promise, Li Mumu immediately smiled and called Chen Dongqing to come over to help send the boy over. She didn't want to carry him back.

Chen Dongqing and his companions were fleeing here, and they brought a cart with them, pushing Xie Xun and Li Mumu back to the exile team.

Seeing Li Mumu coming back, everyone in the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief, "Mumu, are you cured?"

Li Mumu dodged, and Xie Xun on the cart was exposed in front of everyone. "The injury is quite serious, we have to take him away."

"But we are in exile... taking him with us... isn't it inappropriate?" Song Qiang said in embarrassment. She didn't mean anything else, she was just telling the truth.

Chen Dongqing looked embarrassed, but Xie Xun struggled to get up, looked at everyone, and found Gu Jian at a glance. He was a little surprised why the girl brought him to the Gu family instead of the Li family.

However, thinking that the two families were in-laws, it was normal for them to take care of each other, so he didn't think much about it.

Xie Xun repeated to everyone what he had just said to Li Mumu, but did not mention the generous reward.

After he stood up, Mr. Gu kept staring at his face.

The torch flickered, and the old man seemed to be thinking, "Let him stay. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, if he doesn't follow Mumu, he will probably die."

A gleam of light flashed in Xie Xun's eyes, "Thank you, old general."

Old Master Gu paused for a moment, then nodded. "Son, where are you from? How did you get so badly injured?"

"I... I'm also a refugee. My parents died young, and I was raised by the servants. Unexpectedly, we ran into robbers, and all our property was lost. My servants died tragically. I was the only one who luckily escaped. Thank you, General Gu, for taking me in."

Mr. Gu nodded, his wise eyes deepened a little, "What's your name?"

"My...my last name is Xie, and my given name is Xun!"

Old Master Gu took a breath imperceptibly and said nothing more.

The yamen runners looked at the victims holding torches, but dared not say anything. After all, one more person was not one less, and it seemed that if they disagreed, the victims would probably not agree either.

The next morning, the exile team was about to set off again.

Chen Dongqing brought all the disaster victims to see them off, and they knelt on the ground, which made people feel sad.

Li Mumu suddenly thought of something, "Uncle Dongqing, where are you going?"

"We...we need to go to the capital to appeal for justice for the old general. A good man like him shouldn't be treated like this."

"Yes, we must go and redress the injustice for General Gu." Everyone said in unison.

Old Master Gu shook his head, this matter was not that simple.

Li Mumu was very scared. If they went towards the capital, they would surely die.

"Uncle, your illness hasn't healed yet. Going to the capital isn't suitable for your condition. The medicinal herbs I told you about can only be found in the south."

"This..." Chen Dongqing looked embarrassed.

Although Mr. Gu didn't know what Li Mumu was thinking, he knew that they were suffering from a serious illness and it would be very dangerous to go to the capital.

"Dongqing, I appreciate your kindness. Let's get well first. Only after you're well can we have a better future." Old Master Gu said in a deep voice, "Listen to Mumu and go south."

Chen Dongqing gritted his teeth, tears welling in his eyes, and finally nodded, "Don't worry, old general. After I lead the people of the village to live a stable life, I will definitely find a way to redress your injustice."

Everyone watched the exile team leave, and Chen Dongqing led everyone to kowtow three times in the direction they left. He would always remember this kindness in his heart.

Lying on the cart, Xie Xun looked at the blue sky, thinking of the hatred of all the people who died to protect him. He must live.

Only by staying alive can I avenge those people.

The wounds on his body didn't seem to hurt as much after just one night. I don't know if it was an illusion, but this little kid's medical skills are quite impressive.

However, he was seriously injured and had lost too much blood, so he soon fell asleep again, but he woke up from time to time and felt the bumps of the cart under him.

At noon, he opened his eyes again and found himself under a big tree, surrounded by the sound of people talking.

"Is there something wrong with this medicine? Otherwise, how can we drink it?"

Li Mumu rolled her eyes and said, "Then don't drink."

She didn't have good intentions, because they had come into contact with the victims and might have been infected, so it was better to take precautions in advance.

Once they fall ill, not only will it slow down the journey, but it will also easily lead to internal infection. Otherwise, why would she not care about the lives of the Li family?

Lin Siyan looked down at her belly and looked at Li Mumu warily.
