The man sized up Li Guang and said:
"Young man, where are you from? How did you manage to donate so much money? This is two hundred taels of gold, which is a huge sum for our Gu Village."
The man's words caused a stir among those around him. Many people had never seen gold in their entire lives, but this young man, who was not from Gujiazhuang, had given away two hundred taels of gold in one go.
The owner of the Gu family, standing on the high platform, was also taken aback. Why would an outsider donate two hundred taels of gold to them?
He hurried over, and the others followed.
Seeing Master Gu approaching, Li Guang was overjoyed and said:
"I am indeed from out of town. I came to your manor specifically to find Master Gu and ask you for a favor. I did not expect that Gu Family Manor is currently facing an enemy and is actively preparing for war. This is a major event."
At this time, I cannot cause trouble for your village, nor do I have the ability to help Gujiazhuang. I can only donate some money to do my part.
"You have important matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now." After saying this, Li Guang prepared to depart.
"Young man, please wait a moment. I am Gu Kaiming, the head of the Gu family manor. I just heard that you came to the Gu family manor to see me."
"In that case, young man, there's no need to be so polite. Just say what you need to say, and if it's something I can do for you, I will certainly do my best."
Li Guang was overjoyed; with Master Gu's words, Di Numa was saved.
"So you are Master Gu. I am Li Guang. Greetings, Master Gu."
After Li Guang finished speaking, the owner of Chaogu Manor bowed deeply.
"So it's Brother Li Guang. Please tell me what's on your mind."
"Master Gu, do you see the horse behind me? It was frightened a few days ago and ran for a whole day before falling off a cliff. Although it didn't die, it suffered serious internal injuries."
After making inquiries, they learned that Master Gu knew how to treat horses, so they brought their horse over, hoping Master Gu could save its life.
Upon hearing this, Master Gu remained silent. He went to the horse, circled it once, then put his ear to the horse's back and listened for a while before speaking:
"Young man, you're right. This horse does indeed have serious internal injuries. Fortunately, it's not an ordinary horse, otherwise it would have died from exhaustion long ago."
I do possess some medical skills in treating horses, but I am currently powerless to help.
"Why?"
Li Guang was taken aback. If Master Gu had the ability, why didn't he help treat his horse instead of saying he was powerless to do so?
Master Gu saw through Li Guang's thoughts and said:
"Young brother, you may not know this, but this horse has suffered internal injuries to its internal organs. It will take at least three months, or even longer, to heal it."
However, the current situation is that Gu Family Village has encountered a powerful enemy. We have already suffered several defeats, and the ancient faction has gathered its forces, ready to launch an attack on Gu Family Village at any time.
Perhaps in a few days, Gujiazhuang will be razed to the ground, and more than a thousand clansmen will be slaughtered. We can barely protect ourselves, how can we have time to treat your horse?
So that's what happened. Li Guang finally understood. The old man in the village ahead said last night that Master Gu might not treat his horse. So that's why.
At this moment, Master Gu continued, "If Gu Family Manor can hold out for three months without being defeated by the ancient forces, I will definitely help you treat your horse. This is a true steed, and it would be such a pity if it died because of it."
This horse is seriously injured. If this continues, it won't survive more than three days. Young man, you should hurry and find another veterinarian.
It's practically impossible to find another medic within three days, mainly because this horse is already too weak to walk. If things continue like this, it might not even survive another day.
It seems I must help Gu Family Village stop the invasion of powerful enemies and ensure the village's survival. Only in this way will the head of the village have enough time to treat my horse.
Thinking of this, Li Guang said, "In that case, I will stay and help Gu Family Village defeat the ancient forces, and then Master Gu will have time to treat my horse."
To others, Li Guang's words sounded incredibly naive. Who did he think he was? He thought that by staying, he could defeat the ancient forces? Wasn't that just wishful thinking?
Li Guang's words greatly displeased a burly man standing nearby, who spoke up:
“Young man, this is a battlefield, not a game for you children. Do you think that by helping the Gu family village, you can defeat the ancient forces?”
Do you know how powerful the Ancient Sect is? Over the years, they have wiped out several families, including one family whose strength was several times that of the Gu Family Village, which was easily destroyed by the Ancient Sect.
I know you're eager to heal the horse, but the current situation dictates that we can't do anything about it. You should leave here quickly; there are many important things to do in Gujiazhuang, and we can't waste any more time.”
Before the burly man could finish speaking, the old manor lord glared at him and said:
“Gu Huai, stop being so rude. Brother Li Guang wants to help us, and his intentions are good. How can you speak to him like that?”
"Father, did I say something wrong? What time is it now? The ancient forces could attack us at any moment. We need to seize the time to prepare for war and can't waste time on this matter."
Li Guang knew in his heart that Gu Huai's words made sense. He was probably the youngest son of Master Gu. His three older brothers had been captured or killed. How could he not be anxious?
Thinking of this, Li Guang spoke:
"Brother Gu, there's no need to worry. Since I've stayed to help Gu Family Village, I'm sure I have a way to deal with the ancient faction."
No matter how powerful it is, what good is it? With the right methods, the Gu Family Village can still defeat it.
"How arrogant!" Gu Huai cursed inwardly, but with Master Gu present, he dared not utter the words aloud.
"If Brother Gu doubts what I say, then let's have a contest. Brother Gu is strong and heavy, and I am far inferior to him in terms of strength."
"If we were to duel, Brother Gu, no matter what method you use, you can't beat me."
Gu Huai almost laughed in anger when he heard this.
“In that case, let’s give it a try. Do you see those stone weights over there? The heaviest one weighs eight hundred pounds. I can lift it with one arm. Can you do it?”
Li Guang looked at the row of stone locks and said, "I haven't tried lifting an 800-jin stone lock, but I'm sure I can lift a 200-jin stone lock without any problem. I have enough strength to lift 200 jin."
Brother Gu is undoubtedly stronger than me, but whether he can defeat me is another matter entirely.
"In that case, let's give it a try," Gu Huai said.
"Alright, let's begin then." Li Guang was going all out to get the horse treated by Master Gu as soon as possible.
Li Guang jumped to the middle of the field, signaling Gu Huai to attack him.
Seeing this, the people around were stunned. How did these two people suddenly start arguing without any warning?
