Gao Zhijun turned pale from the noise and almost lost her temper. She suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Everyone, please be quiet. I will do my best to save them.
But let me be frank, I cannot guarantee that I can save them all.
After all, I am a human being, not a god."
When the villagers heard this, they wanted to call for help, but the village head glared at them and they dared not speak again.
The village head looked at Gao Zhijun with eyes full of trust in her, and he said gratefully, "Miss Gao, I believe in your ability.
You tried your best to save them, and no matter what the final outcome is, you are the benefactor of our Huojia Village.
If there is anything we can do, just ask and we will get it done.”
After hearing the words of the headman, Gao Zhijun's anger subsided. Finally, someone spoke human words. If this headman was also confused, she would leave without hesitation.
What does their life or death have to do with me? They are not my relatives, let alone the original owner's relatives. It's just that I couldn't bear to see them being eaten by wolves, so I saved them out of compassion.
If they dare to repay kindness with enmity, I don't mind making them suffer a little.
"With your words, I will save people to the end.
I'll go dig up some herbs and boil some water for them to drink. I hope they can survive." Gao Zhijun finally revealed her purpose for visiting the village head.
Hearing that they were going to find herbs for the villagers to drink, the village head finally put his heart at ease. He said to Gao Zhijun, "Miss Gao, I will send a few tall men to follow you. Let them help you dig herbs and protect you."
"No need, I can go alone." Gao Zhijun refused the headman's kindness. She just wanted to go digging herbs alone. If there were too many people, she would have to protect them.
The head of the village only now remembered that this Miss Gao was very skilled in martial arts. She had just killed more than twenty wolves by herself. She asked people to protect her, as if she wanted her to protect others.
The head of the village finally looked embarrassed, and felt that he had been a little arrogant.
"Okay, Miss Gao must be careful!" said the village head.
Gao Zhijun came to Liang's side and looked at her nephew who was playing with Liang's son. After teasing him for a while, she stood up and said to Liang, "Sister, please help me look after my nephew. I'll be back soon after I go dig herbs."
Liang held Gao Zhijun's hand and said sincerely and gently, "Don't be polite with me. I'm your second sister-in-law, and it's my duty to help you look after your nephew.
But I'm worried about you going alone to look for herbs, so why not let your uncle go with you? It'll be safer with more people."
Gao Zhijun: “?”
Gao Zhijun looked at Liang with wide eyes, full of disbelief. Is this what they call lying with wide eyes?
What a joke, asking a wounded person to protect her.
If she becomes the one protecting him, wouldn't that be a burden and a nuisance to herself?
"Well, that - really, there's no need. I can go alone." Gao Zhijun really didn't know how to refuse. Because so many pairs of eyes were looking at her, she couldn't say anything too directly, so she had to refuse tactfully.
Liang didn't care about anything else. She just wanted to reunite with her third uncle and Gao Zhijun. It would be great if she could be her third sister-in-law. Where could she find such a capable sister-in-law? "How can you do it alone? You can't dig herbs with a torch. If you don't find someone to protect you, you should find someone to help you hold the torch."
Seeing that Liang was determined to do so, Gao Zhijun could no longer find an excuse to refuse and had to agree: "Okay, let this little brother help hold the torch."
Gao Zhijun pointed at the fifth brother Huo Jinfeng and said.
Since she couldn't refuse, she found a boy younger than her to help her hold the torch, so that when she encountered danger, she could hold him and walk away without worrying about the differences between men and women.
Huo Jinfeng, who was being pointed at, immediately showed the happiest smile. He really admired that sister and it was an honor to help her hold the torch.
His happiness was quickly frozen by Huo Jinqian's stare, and he could only retract his smile. The third brother was so scary, as if he wanted to eat people.
Huo Jinqian glared at Huo Jinfeng. Gao Zhijun didn't see it, but Mrs. Lu did. She was happy in her heart that this wooden son finally came to his senses.
So, she decided to help so that her son could go digging herbs with Gao Zhijun and develop their relationship.
She opened her eyes wide and lied, "Jinfeng is not suitable. He is grown up and acts like a monkey, running around like crazy. I am afraid that my daughter will not be able to find him.
It’s safer for Jinqian to go. Jinqian is a steady person and he can help you a lot.”
When she heard that Huo Jinqian was asked to go with her to collect herbs, she was against it in her heart. It was not appropriate for such a grown-up person to go with her.
Especially when the lady wanted to match her with him, she refused to get along with him.
Gao Zhijun said without hesitation: "He is injured, it is inconvenient for me to follow him, otherwise, I'd better go by myself."
Hearing her refusal, Huo Jinqian felt even more disappointed. He provoked her in a bad tone: "Miss Gao keeps saying that I'm not suitable. Is it really not suitable, or is it that Miss Gao is afraid that she will fall in love with me if she is with me?"
Huo Jinqian was completely stunned after he finished speaking. What had he said? How could he say such uncultured and ungentlemanly words?
Huo Jinqian wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Gao Zhijun...
Didn't they say that men in ancient times were beasts? How could you say such arrogant words?
Who gave him the confidence that I thought you were afraid of liking him, so you didn't dare let him follow you.
Are you that kind of person?
Besides, can provoking someone into compromise? It seems that provoking someone is effective, and I seem to have compromised a little.
Lu...
When did the third brother become so fierce? He no longer acts like a wooden man. He has finally come to his senses and wants to get married.
Liang...
What had she heard? Had Third Uncle finally come to his senses and wanted to get married? She wanted to tell her husband the good news.
