Chapter 13: Public Outrage



"Miss Gao, you're back!"

A woman saw Gao Zhijun coming back and shouted with joy and excitement.

Her man was also injured, but thanks to Miss Gao's medicine, he is fine now.

"Miss Gao is back. Did she find some herbs?"

"Are you thirsty? I'll pour some water for Miss Gao."

"Miss Gao, you must be tired. Take a rest."

"Miss Gao, give me the backpack. I'll go make some medicine."

"Miss Gao, should these medicines be cooked together?"

When the injured villagers and their wives saw Gao Zhijun coming back, they all put down their work and excitedly showed concern for her.

Gao Zhigao was surrounded by these women, and their warm concern made her feel a little overwhelmed.

She has always been used to being independent and cold-hearted, and her companions in the pavilion are even more cold-hearted.

She had never seen or dealt with women like this before.

Seeing her goddaughter like this, Mrs. Lu immediately said, "We have dug up the herbs. Everyone, help boil the medicine and give it to your husbands. Then do what you need to do. Don't block up here.

My daughter is tired and needs to rest. Please don't disturb her unless necessary."

The women looked at Gao Zhijun, who looked unhappy, and understood what Mrs. Lu meant. They left one after another to help cook the medicine.

Gao Zhijun is such a cold person, and their sudden enthusiasm would scare her.

What would happen to their husbands if they scared her away?

Who will lead them out of the forest?

They felt that Miss Gao was even more powerful than Huo Jinqian. Not only was she skilled in martial arts, she also knew about herbs. If they followed her, she would definitely save them if they encountered danger.

If they are injured, they will be healed.

With such a powerful person by your side, what is there to be afraid of?

Now these women regard Gao Zhijun as an idol and a deity.

Gao Zhijun didn't know what those women were thinking. If she knew, she would definitely think they were mentally ill.

God? How dare they think about it.

I am just a mortal who eats grains and cereals. How can I be a god?

Besides, I am not as powerful as they say.

If it's really that powerful, it's truly amazing.

Seeing that Lu sent the man away, Gao Zhijun nodded gratefully.

Following Lu back to where they camped, Gao Zhijun saw that her nephew was already asleep. She sat down beside him and took a rest.

These days, it is really inconvenient to walk in the mountains with my nephew on my back.

Carrying him on my back, it was difficult to go to the toilet, take a shower, and even sleep too soundly.

As soon as I sat down, my body relaxed and I fell asleep.

Seeing Gao Zhijun was asleep, Mrs. Lu and Huo Jinqian didn't dare to speak too loudly for fear of disturbing her sleep.

Huo Jinqian took out his outer robe and covered her with it to prevent her from catching a cold.

The wolf bone soup was cooked, the wild vegetables were fried, a lot of pancakes were made, and the villagers were called to eat.

Mrs. Lu gently woke Gao Zhijun up: "Jun'er, get up and have dinner!"

Gao Zhijun has always been a light sleeper, but she didn't expect to sleep so deeply this time.

Maybe he slept so soundly because he felt that with the villagers around him, he didn't have to keep his body tense all the time.

"Okay!" After Gao Zhijun said that, she hugged her nephew, took her own bowl, and went to the front to eat.

"Miss Gao, come and sit here."

"Miss Gao, give me the bowl and I'll help you fill the soup!"

When the two aunts from the Huo family saw Gao Zhijun, one of them enthusiastically pulled her to sit in the seat specially reserved for her, and the other took her bowl, filled it with large pieces of wolf meat, poured soup on it, and handed it to her.

"Thank you, aunts!"

Gao Zhijun took the bowl embarrassedly, and her face turned red unconsciously when she looked at the large pieces of meat in the bowl.

Tong and Fang from Huo Village said with envy, "Oh my god, is she being treated specially? Everyone else only gets a small piece of wolf meat, but look at her bowl. It's a big, fat bowl of wolf meat."

"That's right, Lin and Jiang are just trying to curry favor with others. How shameless."

Tong and Fang spoke in a sarcastic tone, which made the villagers in Huojia Village want to beat them up.

Gao Zhijun, who was originally blushing and feeling a little embarrassed, now had a slightly changed expression. She was so angry that she was about to burst out at any moment.

Mrs. Lu and Huo Jinqian's faces turned black and they cursed back angrily.

Huo Jinqian has read the books of sages and would not do anything like a shrew.

But Lu can do it!

As a woman, she is most suitable to be a shrew.

The village head was also very angry. Miss Gao saved the lives of the entire village of Huojia Village and was their great benefactor.

As a result, these short-sighted troublemakers were causing trouble, and he really wanted to scold them.

But he was a man, and the head of the village, so he couldn't and shouldn't curse.

The village head can’t do it, but his wife can!

Huo Jinqian's eldest and second sisters-in-law were also very angry. They held their hips and acted like shrews, ready to start scolding.

"Tong, Fang, if you don't like it, you can leave us."

"That's right. Most of these wolves were killed by Miss Gao. Of course she eats well."

"If you have the guts, go kill a wolf and try. We definitely won't want your wolf meat."

"Tong, Fang, Zhijun is my daughter. Bullying her is bullying our Huo family. I warn you, if I hear you say bad things about my daughter again, I will never forgive you."

"Yes, I am Zhijun's sister-in-law. Are you bullying my younger sister-in-law because we have no one in the Huo family?"

"Sister-in-law is right. If I hear you say bad things about my sister-in-law again, I will tear your mouths apart and see if you dare to stir up trouble again."

"Tong, Fang, if you cause trouble again and speak ill of Miss Gao, I will kick you out of Huo Village."

Lu, Liang, Yang, the wife of the village head and the women of Huojia Village all blamed Tong and Fang, scolding them so much that they dared not say a word. They took their bowls and went to a remote place in shame to drink soup and eat meat.

It doesn't matter if one or two people scold them, but if the whole village scolds them, it will incur public anger and they will be expelled from Huojia Village. The men and sons in their families will not be able to deal with them.

You know, during famine years, being driven out of the village was tantamount to committing suicide.
