Chapter 135 The Lady of the Constable's House (13)
"It's OK. These patients will be able to wake up in less than one night."
Xiao Zhuoxuan asked in confusion: "Ah? Does it take so long?"
"Well... they have been poisoned for longer than you. It's already pretty good that they can detoxify so quickly. So it will naturally take them a little longer to wake up!"
The others understood and delayed for a few hours. If it had been any longer, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Gu Yuxi finished the last bite of the bun in her hand contentedly, picked up a glass of water, and saw Yuan Xin walking towards her with big strides.
"There are three patients in the yamen, and their conditions are critical. Miss, please pack your things quickly and come with me!" Yuan Xin said to Gu Yuxi anxiously.
The water almost choked Gu Yuxi. She had no choice but to continue following. She only had ten merit points, which was not enough.
By the time she had detoxified the three unlucky guys in the county government, a long time had passed.
Looking up, I saw a bright moon hanging high in the night sky, casting a cool light.
"Miss, you have worked so hard! It's so late, you must be exhausted. We have prepared the guest rooms. When the patients wake up tomorrow, if they still feel unwell, I will trouble you to help check on them." The maid said to her gratefully.
"But my donkey..."
Yuan Xin shouted at the side: "It's just a donkey. I'll ask someone to bring it over. Girl, don't be so shy."
Looking at this bad-tempered captain, Gu Yuxi suddenly lost his obsession with merit points and followed a maid to the guest room.
The next day, just after dawn, Gu Yuxi's sleepiness was driven away by a maid who kept knocking on the door of her room.
"Miss, Miss, wake up. The patient has woken up. Captain Yuan asked me to ask you to go and see him."
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Gu Yuxi put on her clothes, tied up her hair with a hairpin and went to open the door. The maid pulled her and walked quickly towards that place. Was this maid afraid of that fierce man?
"Sister, is Captain Yuan that scary?"
"Miss, be careful with your words. Captain Yuan is impatient and won't tolerate any laziness."
Gu Yuxi understood and quickened her pace. She just wanted to leave this yamen, it was too depressing.
"The poison in the patient's body has been eliminated. He will recover after a few days of rest. I will write a prescription for him. He will take the medicine in two or three days and he will be fine."
After taking the prescription and looking at the elegant hairpin-shaped handwriting, Yuan Xin looked at Gu Yuxi again.
"Well, take the prescription."
Yuan Xin handed over a purse, scratched his head and said, "I have a quick temper. If I offended you yesterday, please don't take it to heart. This is a small gift for you."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Seeing these people here, Gu Yuxi thought it would be a good thing to get acquainted with the government officials. She asked, "Captain Yuan, what do I need to buy a place to stay in Guyu County?"
"Girl, are you from the underworld?"
"No, I'm here to look for my relatives. I have no relatives at home anymore. I wanted to look for my uncles and aunts from my childhood neighbors there. After all, I have in-laws with them, but now they are nowhere to be found."
"If you're looking for someone, I can help."
"But that uncle died in a famine a few years ago. Now I have no home. I dug up a ginseng yesterday and was planning to settle down here."
"If you have any good medicinal herbs, I can help you sell them to County Magistrate Guo, and we can also discuss the matter of settling down there."
"Thank you, sir. Here is the ginseng."
Yuan Xin just thought that this girl was naive. She took out such precious medicinal materials so casually. He could improve his relationship with the county magistrate and get close to this woman with medical skills, which could be regarded as repaying the life-saving grace.
The other party's medical skills were what he valued. If the girl settled here, they would have more security in the future. After all, it was common for people in the profession of constable to get injured.
After taking the ginseng, Yuan Xin lowered his voice, "Girl, you know my reputation in Guyu County. I won't do anything that bullies men or women. I'll give you whatever you sell it for."
Seeing that Gu Yuxi was about to refuse, the injured constable quickly tried to smooth things over: "Miss, our leader has everything he says, so don't worry."
"Yes, and your settlement is also simple. You saved our lives, so this favor is a piece of cake."
"Girl, if you want to settle down, I will go with you."
Gu Yuxi: "Thank you very much, gentlemen."
After leaving the government office, Gu Yuxi saw Xiao Zhuoxuan pulling Xiao Dai over. He said as they walked, "Miss Gu, please go check on the patient from last night."
Gu Yuxi touched Xiaodai's head and said, "Let's go!"
Xiao Zhuoxuan followed Gu Yuxi closely. If those friends were fine, he would return to his hometown soon. He wondered if they would have the chance to meet again next time...
"Ok!"
Xiao Zhuoxuan, who was distracted, bumped into Gu Yuxi's back. The person in front of him asked with concern: "Mr. Xiao, are you okay?"
"No...it's okay. I was just abrupt and lost my concentration when walking."
"It's okay. You were poisoned yesterday. You need to rest well. Don't overwork yourself."
"Miss Gu, I want to ask you, are my friends okay?"
"Don't worry, as long as the poison is resolved, they will be full of energy in a few days."
Xiao Zhuoxuan touched his neck, curled his lips, and murmured, "That's good, that's good."
After entering the yard, Gu Yuxi took the pulse of those people and then wrote the prescription he had just written.
"Follow the prescription and take the medicine. You will be fine in two or three days."
"Thank you girl for saving these brothers' lives."
"Girl, if you have any trouble in the future, just come to us. You are doing us a great favor."
"Don't be so polite, we are all sisters in the world."
Gu Sanhe just felt that the woman in front of him looked a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen her before. Maybe he was overthinking it.
Gu Yuxi was boiling some medicine at Xiao Zhuoxuan's place and was just about to go for a walk around Guyu County when the little maid came again.
"Miss, Captain Yuan wants to see you."
"Good work."
Arriving at the county government office, Yuan Xin gave the money from selling ginseng to Gu Yuxi and said, "The county magistrate gave the young lady seventy taels and said that it would be easy for the young lady to settle down in Guyu County."
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Gu Yuxi took the banknote and silver. Now the money for buying the house has come.
She never shows off her wealth, but she did just show it. She went straight to the housing market after leaving the county government office, where a few old men were chatting.
"Girl, this yard is small, but the price is cheap. It's just right for one person to live in."
"You can't be careless about where you live. The Feng Shui master has calculated that this is a treasure land for accumulating wealth. The girl has an extraordinary temperament, and this kind of treasure land is worthy of her."
In the end, Gu Yuxi bought a small place with three rooms and a kitchen. There was also a vegetable garden at the back. There was a well shared with other families not far away, which was already pretty good.
