All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
The clan chief repeatedly said there was no problem. The village head brought back the booklet and, upon hearing Zuo Li's words, also said there was no problem, as it was his duty and what he should do!
Having learned enough about the situation, Zuo Li took his leave, as he needed to ask others for clues, visit the Gu family to gauge their attitude, hear their thoughts on Gu San Niu, and learn about what happened back then.
Shanggui Village? This matter is now connected to Shanggui Village, so he needs to go there to investigate.
Of course, there are some things she doesn't need to investigate herself, but she absolutely had to go and see the county where the crime occurred. How could she deduce the truth without going there?!
After Zuo Li left, the clansmen rested for a while, sighing with various emotions. Those who were originally very dissatisfied with Gu San Niu now had very complicated feelings. If the county magistrate investigated and found out the truth and confirmed that Gu San Niu was not a jinx, then all the insults they had hurled at Gu San Niu over the years would become a huge mountain weighing on them, and they would never have the face to see Gu San Niu again!
Rong Sheng could more or less guess what everyone was thinking, but there were some things she didn't know, so she couldn't say anything. She just calmly noted down the emotions on everyone's faces.
Not long after, the villagers went back to work in the fields.
Gu Beiyi was called away by the three Rong brothers to help harvest crops in the fields, leaving only Rong Yu and Rong Sheng at home. Rong Dong'an and Xu Shi also went to work in the fields.
Rong Sheng examined Rong Yu's body and found that Rong Yu's recovery was exceptionally good, far better than initially expected. As a result, Rong Yu can now sit up, read a book for a while, and talk for a bit.
After Rong Yu got tired of watching, he lay down to rest and fell asleep. Then Rong Sheng took a water jug ββto the fields and delivered water to the people of the tribe.
Actually, I just wanted to see what my future husband was like.
He can't even cook, how could he possibly work in the fields? He's not the real Gu Sanniu!
Before they even reached the field, Rong Hua and the others, with their sharp eyes, spotted Rong Sheng carrying several water jugs. She was walking very slowly and laboriously. They put down their sickles and quickly went to meet Rong Sheng: "Sheng Bao, you shouldn't do such hard work as delivering water anymore. Just stay home and keep your fourth brother company, or read some medical books or something."
If you really can't stay idle, you can take a walk around the village and get some medical treatment for the villagers, as many of them are still not fully recovered.
Rong Sheng: "Big brother, I'm just doing what I can to help. It's not hard work at all!"
"That won't do either. Girls should be delicate and shouldn't do such heavy work!" Rong Hua still disagreed with Rong Sheng getting out of bed.
Rong Sheng said helplessly, "But I really have nothing to do. Fourth Brother fell asleep after reading for a while. I have visited all the clansmen who are sick, and they are slowly recovering. It can't be rushed! I have cleaned the yard and house, and I have also brought the pig feed home."
Rong Hua was helpless. Why was his little sister Sheng Bao so sensible? Wouldn't it be better if she were a bit more delicate? It made them, her brothers, seem so useless!
Rong Hua carried a water bottle to the field, and together with Rong Mu, they handed the water bottle to the clansmen who were helping with the work, so that they could drink some water before they started working.
Rong Sheng walked directly toward Gu Beiyi.
Tall, handsome, and dashing Gu Beiyi held a sickle and bent over to cut wheat. He looked very awkward, as if the work in the field was not worthy of him.
Meanwhile, her second brother stayed by Gu Beiyi's side, talking as he worked. Because of the distance, Rong Sheng couldn't hear him very clearly, but when she got closer and heard Rong Zheng's words, she felt extremely helpless.
For some reason, her brothers just couldn't stand Gu Beiyi!
If she ends up with Gu Beiyi in the future, will they give Gu Beiyi a good beating?
"Second Brother, can you please say less?" Rong Sheng said helplessly as she approached Rong Zheng. "After talking so much, aren't you thirsty? Here, have some water!"
Rong Sheng placed the kettle on the ground, took out a ceramic bowl, poured a full bowl of water for Rong Zheng, and handed it to him.
Rong Zheng smiled and took the bowl, gulping down two large bowls before saying, "Shengbao, what brings you here? The sun is so strong right now, and you're so fair and delicate. You should go home and rest, lest the sun tan you!"
"What does it matter? Anyway, my second brother doesn't like girls like me. He prefers women who look like men!" Rong Sheng said deliberately.
Rong Zheng was startled and almost spat out the water he had just drunk: "Sheng Bao, how did you know?"
βI not only know that you like strong girls, but I also know that your dream since childhood has been to join the army and become a great general!β Rong Sheng said.
Rong Zheng pouted, "I want to become a great general, but my parents absolutely refuse to agree, so I can't help it!" After saying that, Rong Zheng looked at Rong Sheng strangely, "Sheng Bao, your second brother has never told you about these things, how do you know?"
Rong Sheng ignored Rong Zheng, instead taking out a clean bowl, pouring a bowl for Gu Beiyi, and bringing the water to Gu Beiyi's side. "You've worked all day, and the sun is so strong, you must be thirsty. Here, drink this water quickly, you'll have the strength to continue working!"
Rong Sheng didn't originally intend to say that, but when she saw Rong Zheng glaring angrily at Gu Beiyi out of the corner of her eye, the words she was about to say changed direction and tone.
Gu Beiyi could sense the concern in Rong Sheng's words, but out of consideration for Rong Zheng, he said nothing, silently took the bowl, and slowly drank the water in it: "More!"
Rong Sheng immediately took the bowl and poured a bowl for Gu Beiyi. Gu Beiyi drank it with satisfaction and said, "I'd like some more!"
When Rong Zheng saw Gu Beiyi constantly ordering his younger sister around, his handsome face immediately turned ugly. He snatched the bowl from Gu Beiyi's hand and said, "Shengbao, take a break. Your second brother will help that bastard Gu Sanniu pour some water!"
"Then thank you very much, Brother Rong Zheng!" Gu Beiyi didn't stand on ceremony. He didn't believe that Rong Zheng was so stupid as to make things difficult for him in front of Rong Sheng.
If Rong Sheng were to make things difficult for him in front of Rong Sheng, Rong Sheng would definitely feel very sorry for him and would also punish all his brothers.
Seeing Gu Beiyi's smug look, Rong Zheng was furious. He glared at Gu Beiyi fiercely and strode over to the kettle.
Looking at the clear water in the kettle and then at the mud on the ground, he gritted his teeth, deliberately blocking Rong Sheng and Gu Beiyi's view, and quietly picked up a little bit of mud and put it into the bowl before slowly pouring water in.
"drink!"
Gu Beiyi took the bowl, but didn't drink it immediately. Instead, he looked at the mud in the water and asked, "Rong Zheng, what do you mean by this? Why did you put mud in the bowl?"
