The man with the large mole knelt down and begged for mercy, then asked again what he needed to do.
Cheng Huaijin said with a look of disdain, "Didn't I just ask? You haven't answered yet."
The man with the large mole said fearfully, "It hurts so much, it hurt so much just now, I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."
Cheng Huaijin asked the same question again.
Big Mole honestly replied that their leader was the most seriously injured; he was wounded there and was still not fit. The other injuries were minor.
Cheng Huaijin gave Gu Xin a strange look.
Gu Xin didn't understand what the big mole was saying and looked completely confused.
"Ahem." Cheng Huaijin coughed awkwardly, then looked at the large mole, "If you don't go back today, will they come to the city looking for you?"
Big Mole nodded: "It's okay if I don't go back today, but they'll come looking for me if I don't go back tomorrow. When I came out, the chief told me to find a doctor, so I can delay for a day or two."
Cheng Huaijin understood, and had Da Weizi carry the bags that she and Gu Xin had been carrying, and they walked back.
The man with the large mole was carrying two large bags of cotton, and his face was dark.
How did these two manage to treat cotton like gold without anyone noticing?
Big Mole regretted his greed. Looking at the two people walking ahead whispering, he wanted to turn around and run away, but when he thought of the excruciating pain he had just experienced, he dared not run.
Cheng Huaijin translated the words about the large mole into Da Zhou dialect for Gu Xin.
Gu Xin stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's let this big mole witness the effects of this medicine tonight. After the king receives a reply, we'll decide when to subdue the remaining sand bandits."
Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "Xinxin, you still don't trust my godfather?"
Gu Xin shook her finger: "Learn from your mistakes. Little Jin, remember, never trust someone easily, and always stay alert. Don't let your guard down when facing weak opponents."
Cheng Huaijin's smile vanished: "Xinxin, I'm so sorry you had to go through all this. You've suffered so much because of me and Xiaoyu."
Gu Xin patted Cheng Huaijin on the back: "I'm not wronged, I haven't suffered much. Now that I'm here, I know about the Langge Kingdom and the Yunhai Tribe. I can even cause trouble so they can't harm the Great Zhou! On the bright side, it's a blessing in disguise."
Cheng Huaijin smiled at her optimistic demeanor and then asked, "If you could go back to the day of your accident, would you still get on the carriage?"
Gu Xin nodded without hesitation: "Yes. But I won't be a rival in love. I won't assume that Yin Yueli is a weak woman, or that her maid is as weak as her, and let my guard down. That way, her maid won't be able to plot against me."
Cheng Huaijin patted Gu Xin's shoulder: "Xin Xin, thank you for letting me know that in Da Zhou, not only does my sister care about me, but you do too. How about I be your brother? You don't have a brother in your family, so I'll be your brother."
Gu Xin rolled her eyes at him: "I've always considered you my older brother! Brother Xiao Jin, do you know why I care so much about Xiao Yu? In my heart, Xiao Yu is much more important than you!"
Cheng Huaijin was also very curious about this.
Gu Xin explained, “Because before I met Xiaoyu, I had no friends. Before that, my sister ignored me. Only Sisi and Sister Huihui would talk to me. Then there was Sister Yumei, who married into the village next door. Xiaoyu was close to me and smiled at me. When your family had that accident, she held my hand and cried. At that time, although she couldn’t speak, I felt happy when she smiled and sad when she cried.”
