Although this world lacks any spiritual energy, the air is still relatively close to nature, but...
Seeing the ashes still remaining on the street, Gu Liyan was moved, thinking, "I never imagined that battles between ordinary people could be so cruel." Unable to stay still, Gu Liyan sneaked out while Huo Tong went to the toilet. Unconsciously, he found himself on the street, surveying the dilapidated scene on both sides, sighing repeatedly, "If this world were intact as before, what would it be like here?"
Gu Liyan suddenly kicked something, making a clattering sound. Looking down, he saw a golden bullet casing on the ground. He bent down, picked it up, and examined it. "This little thing is what became the weapon that disrupted this world, causing war..."
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, gripped the spent cartridge in his hand, and flicked it. The cartridge shot into the pillar next to him like a bullet, leaving only a hole.
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow in surprise, then stroked his chin thoughtfully. "It seems that the physical abilities of ordinary people in this world are not enough to resist this."
Just as Gu Liyan was about to look further into the distance, Huo Tong's voice came from afar.
"Brother Mo!"
Huo Tong saw Gu Liyan, waved to him, and rushed over, "Brother Mo, why did you run out? Your aunt saw that you weren't resting on the kang (heated brick bed), so she sent me out to find you!"
"I just had a good sleep and feel much better, so I came out for a walk," Gu Liyan said with a gentle smile.
Looking at Gu Liyan's smile, Huo Tong was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said shyly, "Brother Mo, you are so handsome! Your smile has me mesmerized! No wonder Auntie likes you so much!"
"You like me?" Gu Liyan smiled wryly. There are many ordinary people in this world, so he should probably keep a low profile.
"Brother Mo, let's go! Auntie has prepared a meal and is waiting for you!" Huo Tong pulled Gu Liyan back. "To welcome you back, Auntie killed Xiao Hua. You're in for a treat!"
Who is Xiaohua?
"It's my hen!"
"Oh, I see..." Gu Liyan smiled politely.
He rarely eats chicken.
Gu Liyan was stunned when he entered the courtyard. He hadn't expected the courtyard to be full of people; almost everyone in the village was there!
"Mova is coming!"
"Come on, come on, sit here!" Meng Zhong called out, offering up the seat of honor.
Gu Liyan was about to refuse when Huo Tong pulled her over to sit down.
"You go sit over there!" Yao Niang, who was sitting opposite Gu Liyan, shouted, slamming her hand on the table when she saw Huo Tong sitting to the side.
Huo Tong looked at the only dish of chicken stew with mushrooms on the table and reluctantly went to the table next to him.
"Um, I..." Gu Liyan was about to say that she wanted to sit over there too, but Meng Zhong stopped her.
Meng Zhong said earnestly, "Mowazi, we've gathered here today for two reasons: first, to thank you for saving three villagers from our village, and second, to welcome you back."
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Meng Zhong had already filled the glass with wine, picked it up and said, "Come on, this first cup is for you!"
While Gu Liyan was still in a daze, Meng Zhong had already downed his drink in one gulp. "Brother Meng, oh no, Uncle..."
Gu Liyan had gotten the seniority wrong; it was absolutely forbidden for elders to offer toasts in Qianjue Mountain!
Meng Zhong burst into laughter at Gu Liyan's flustered appearance, and the people around them also laughed. Gu Liyan blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Brother Mo, you call me elder brother, but I don’t have any gifts to give you!” Meng Zhong said.
Gu Liyan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "No, there's no need for a gift. Besides, we'll have a long future ahead of us, and we'll be spending a lot of time together..."
Meng Zhong's expression changed. He looked at Gu Liyan with a solemn expression and patted Gu Liyan's shoulder. "Brother, you are capable, more capable than any of us. We are very happy that you haven't forgotten your roots and have come back to visit. It's just that these are chaotic times, and we..."
Meng Zhong sighed and looked at everyone present before continuing, "Most of us are old, young, sick, or disabled. Although I have a gun, how many snake people can I take down? We can't leave this place anymore."
Meng Zhong patted Gu Liyan on the shoulder. "But you are different. You are still young and you can do a lot for the Dragon Kingdom. It's hard for us to even live to see world peace!"
Gu Liyan looked at the crowd, most of whom were middle-aged, elderly, or even children. A lump formed in her throat, and she silently vowed, "I will make sure there is no more war in this world! I will!"
Just then, the soldier who was caring for the patient rushed out, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"
Gu Liyan and the others stood up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Oh no! Those three patients have had a fever since the beginning, and it just won't go down!"
Meng Zhong looked at Gu Liyan and asked, "What's going on?"
"Could their wounds be infected? Let's go check on them." Gu Liyan hurriedly ran towards the house.
After examination, Gu Liyan found that the wounds of the three patients on the bed showed signs of inflammation. "The wounds are infected. Go to the hospital to see if they have any anti-inflammatory injections or the like."
Meng Zhong shook his head. "The village hospital is only good for treating minor ailments like headaches and fevers. It can't handle injuries like these, which is why I didn't save them at first!"
Gu Liyan asked anxiously, "Human lives are at stake! If their condition worsens, they will eventually die! Brother Meng, tell me, where can we get anti-inflammatory injections?"
"The town's hospital should have one!" Huo Tong blurted out.
"No way! The snake people's next stop is the town. If we go there, it'll be like lambs to the slaughter!" Meng Zhong said coldly. "Our village only has so much fighting power. We can't risk our lives for these three people!"
