Chapter 265 266. Story
Gu Wenheng helped Jin Qianqian back to the courtyard at the entrance of his village, and Ouyang Bing immediately jumped out, "You are finally back, how could you just leave us two guests here and not care about us?"
Gu Wenheng had been dealing with him for such a long time and knew that he had other ideas.
"Today is my mother's birthday party, so I was really busy. I didn't notice that my wife is still pregnant. Don't stand here and block the way. I'll help my wife to the room to rest first."
Ouyang Bing immediately apologized to Jin Qianqian and smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law Gu, you know my temper is like this, I am quite impatient. You have been tired all day, go and rest first."
Gu Wenheng was worried and looked at Butler Fu beside him, "Did Doctor Chu rest?"
"No," Chu Dongnan came out with a medicine box. He didn't forget the main reason for coming here. "Find a warm place and let me take your pulse."
Jin Qianqian was about to say that she was fine, but Gu Wenheng took everyone to the study room and said, "It's better to be careful. You are really too tired today. Let's take a look first."
After Chu Dongnan took Jin Qianqian's pulse and confirmed that she was fine, he asked Qingmei to help her go in and rest.
"I say, is this place really arranged for you by the county government?" Ouyang Bing took a walk around the village after the banquet. The more he looked, the more incredible it seemed to him. If this place were in the county town, it might not be more comfortable than here.
Chu Dongnan glanced at him and said, "This place was not a good place before. People around here avoided it."
Ouyang Bing seemed to have sensed something, and approached Chu Dongnan with a gossipy look on his face, "Tell me something quickly."
Gu Wenheng asked Butler Fu to put the tea on the table and made tea for them himself.
Chu Dongnan recounted what happened in the previous dynasty, and added at the end, "It is also because of this that people dare not easily set foot here. If they hadn't fled here this time, this place would have been deserted for who knows how long."
Gu Wenheng served them each a cup of tea, and then curiously asked Chu Dongnan, "Doctor Chu knows about this place, so he must be familiar with it!"
Chu Dongnan fell into reminiscence, "When I was young, I always went everywhere with my grandfather and father to collect herbs. We slept in the open air all day long, and it was inevitable to go to various villages to ask people for help in making some dry food.
In return, my grandfather and his colleagues would provide free medical treatment to these people.
When we arrived at this village that time, my grandfather reminded my father and me after we were far away from the village, asking us to come to this village less often in the future.
I only remember my father saying, is it because of some hidden injuries in their bodies?
My grandfather's face changed and he scolded my father. Although I don't know the specific origin of this village, it has now become the past.
Later, I inquired out of curiosity and found out that all the 300-plus people in the village died in the plague.”
Gu Wenheng thought of the gold that he and Jin Qianqian had discovered before. It seemed that the origin of these things was not simple.
But so much time has passed, and there is no evidence. I should find an opportunity to take out the gold and do good deeds. This will also accumulate virtue for their family. Maybe there will be a next life for them.
Ouyang Bing listened to the story and said, "It's a pity that you didn't understand what your grandfather meant. Didn't he discover some shocking secret?"
Chu Dongnan rolled his eyes at him and said, "How should I know this? If my grandfather wanted to tell me, he wouldn't have scolded my father.
Besides, the old village no longer exists, so even if I'm curious and want to find the answer, it's impossible.
I see that you are quite curious, why don't you come and think of a solution, and you can also help me solve my doubts while you are at it."
Ouyang Bing shook his head quickly, "I was just fascinated by the story. I'm not a gossiper in the underworld. This matter is not suitable for me."
"Is there really someone who can tell you about this?" Gu Wenheng took a sip of tea and asked Ouyang Bing.
“It’s just a metaphor. We are all busy with our lives and raising our families. Who would be so curious to pry into other people’s privacy?
Brother Wenheng, is there something you want to know?"
Gu Wenheng, "I am just curious about the people in Doctor Chu's story. Besides, we are now occupying someone else's village. If they have descendants outside, they will be involved with our village."
Chu Dongnan smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. My father came here out of curiosity. Besides, so many years have passed. If any descendants really come looking for us, they should go and complain to the court and the government. It has nothing to do with you."
Gu Wenheng, "I was worrying too much. I have troubled you two today. The housekeeper has already cleaned up the room. You should all go to bed early."
Ouyang Bing called him, "Wait, there is one more thing I want to ask you."
Gu Wenheng, "But the people below don't take good care of you?"
"No, no, no," Ouyang Bing glanced at Chu Dongnan before saying, "Old Man Chu and I noticed something different in the carriage before, so I wanted to find out if there are any other strange features in this carriage."
Gu Wenheng, "...Isn't that just a carriage? Do you see how it's different?"
Ouyang Bing, "I just feel that this carriage is much more stable. I took a nap in the carriage all the way here."
Chu Dongnan glanced at him, "..." This guy clearly slept almost the entire way through, and he doesn't even blush when he says this.
Someone who didn't know why he was blushing looked at Gu Wenheng expectantly, "If you have other tricks, please tell me. My mother has been trapped in a mansion all her life because she can't ride in a carriage.
Now I can even fall asleep in the carriage, maybe this carriage can take my mother out to see the scenery of various places."
Gu Wenheng, "I prepared this carriage specially for my wife. She is also afraid of bumps."
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Bing knew there was indeed something mysterious going on. "Can you give up your love?"
Gu Wenheng was still thinking about the life-saving medicine he had when Luo Luo was born, so he naturally didn't mind sending out the carriage. "That's fine, but I still hope to get another life-saving medicine."
Seeing Ouyang Bing's face suddenly change, Gu Wenheng said quickly, "I know this carriage is not worth it, I am willing to pay a large sum of money to buy it."
During these two years, Gu Wenhengke also got to know some of Ouyang Bing's background. On the surface, this guy was running a restaurant, but privately, most of the drugs sold for the pharmacy went through his hands.
But this guy is very cunning. Even if he has the medicine, he will hide it. No matter how high the price is raised by outsiders, he will not let go easily.
Ouyang Bing's face relaxed, "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Although Old Man Chu can't bring the dead back to life, he is still one of the best in our area.
This isn't your wife's first birth, so it won't be a big problem even if you don't take the medicine."
