The men started talking amongst themselves; it was clear that everyone recognized him.
Once they recognized him, things weren't as scary as before. The focus of everyone's discussion was how someone so young could be dead, what would happen to his mother, and whether he had gotten into trouble again.
Gu Xin listened patiently, extracting useful information from it.
"Third Miss?" Du San Niang came to her senses, turned around and found Gu Xin in a daze, and called out.
"Hmm, Mr. Du, are you alright? Were you scared? I'll write a prescription in a bit, and you can have someone go to the pharmacy to get some herbs. Everyone can have a bowl of it when we rest tonight," Gu Xin said.
“Okay.” Du San Niang nodded, not refusing.
Even though she recognized the person as someone she knew, she was still worried that she would recall the scene when she went to sleep.
Gu Xin asked the waiter to bring the banknotes, and she immediately wrote down the prescription and sent someone to get the medicine.
The town isn't big, and although the pharmacy is probably closed by now, everyone knows each other, so you can still knock on the door to get your medicine.
After doing all this, Gu Xin asked Bai Yi to go out and find Wang Pangzi and A Jin, so that they could come back and there was no need to ask any more questions. She also asked Bai Yi to bring Hu Qiangzi's mother over.
"Boss Du, could you tell me about this Hu family's Qiangzi?" Gu Xin pulled Du San Niang to another table and sat down.
Lu Zheng kindly covered the tray with a cloth, but some people were still hesitant to approach.
Those who were bold and curious dared to gather around and listen.
Zheng Qiu considerately asked the waiter to fetch hot water from the kitchen, but the waiter was too afraid, so Zheng Qiu had to go herself.
Gu En was still in the kitchen, leaning against the wall and patting her chest.
"Fourth Young Master hasn't recovered yet?" Zheng Qiu went into the kitchen to pour Gu En a bowl of hot water and handed it to him.
"Thank you!" Gu En took the drink and felt better after drinking it. He said with a slightly aggrieved expression, "Why didn't you remind me? I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. Xiao Qiu, why don't I sleep with you?"
"!" Zheng Qiu was stunned.
“Really! Brother Wang has gotten fat, he must snore. Brother Yuan doesn’t like sleeping next to anyone. Bai Yibai is big too. You’re the best choice. Xiao Qiu, please have pity on me, I’m really worried that when I close my eyes I’ll see that head! Let me sleep with you!” Gu En reached out and tugged at Zheng Qiu’s sleeve.
"If you sleep with me, even with your eyes closed, it'll still be the same head; it's completely useless," Zheng Qiu calmly refused, trying to regain her composure.
“Holding your hand will definitely have an effect. How about we have a late-night talk by candlelight?” Gu En said.
“I don’t like to have long talks with people. Fourth Young Master, I’m going to get some water from Xin Xin and the others. Boss Du recognized the deceased just now and needs some hot water to calm down.” Zheng Qiu changed the subject and then turned to go back to the kitchen to get the kettle.
"Did she recognize her? Boss Du recognized her! Boss Du is amazing! She wasn't afraid at all! She's truly a heroine!" Gu En followed Zheng Qiu's footsteps and continued to chatter, "How did she recognize her? It was so scary, did Boss Du dare to look? I don't dare, just thinking about it makes me scared. I don't even dare to go into the hall, but I'm also quite curious..."
"Fourth Young Master, General Lu has already covered his head. So, you can't see him. If you're curious, why don't we go over together?" Zheng Qiu was once again annoyed by Gu En's endless chatter.
