Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 114 I'm Not Afraid

Just by looking at the various colored gemstone rings on those ten plump white fingers, one can tell that gemstones were extremely rare and precious in that era.

Not to mention those blindingly bright gold chains, they hurt my eyes!

Gu Qingyue closed her eyes slightly.

This is definitely some rich and foolish playboy from some family. Gu Qingyue thought that if she was wrong, she would cut her head off.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant, daring to hit my coachman! You've got some nerve!"

The fat man was arrogant and haughty.

"You're saying the child lying on the ground is your coachman?" Gu Qingyue firmly refused to admit that the fat man's height and physique made her feel intimidated, and she was determined not to back down!

The two of them standing together were simply too different in size.

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back and raised her chin at a ninety-degree angle.

Want to outdo me in arrogance? I'm not afraid!

"Who? This little beggar? I'm talking about my coachman," the fat man said, raising his voice a notch.

"Isn't it just this little kid who got beaten up? Where's your coachman?" Gu Qingyue was infuriating.

"You, you, Lao Qin, beat this arrogant sissy to a pulp!" The fat man took two steps back, crossed his arms, and looked down at the guy with a disdainful gaze, ready to watch the show. This kid dared to be better looking than him? He was asking for it!

"Whoosh—" Just as he finished speaking, the middle-aged coachman was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing squarely into the side of the carriage. A woman inside gasped in surprise.

Gu Qingyue: ? ? ?

Gu Qingyue slowly withdrew her foot, patted the dirt off her boots, and stared calmly at the fat man.

"You! Get him! How dare you frighten my sister? Beat him to a pulp!"

The fat man was only surprised for a moment before raising his hand to signal the servants behind him to go forward and beat the man up.

An unexpected brawl broke out on the street.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the crowd of onlookers who were just excitedly watching the show in the distance were now holding their heads, baring their teeth, and looking constipated, as if they were the ones who had just been beaten up.

Of course, the servants lying on the ground were in an even worse state. Gu Qingyue blew on the small wooden stick she had picked up, with an expression that said, "I'm the best in the world."

How dare he call himself a sissy?!

One look from him made the fat man standing by the roadside start chattering.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Before the fat man could finish shaking, his arm was grabbed by another, even fatter and softer white hand.

"You'd better hide quickly, Yuan'er, this person is too ugly!"

The fat man jumped up in a second of terror and quickly used his bulky body to block the woman, his face showing a look that said, "You lecher, stay away!"

Gu Qingyue gave the fat man a look as if he were an idiot.

"Speak, what do you want?" Gu Qingyue threw away the wooden stick and walked step by step toward the fat man.

"Hero! I'm impressed! Hero!" The fat man immediately admitted defeat as he watched Gu Qingyue approach step by step.

He casually reached out and pushed the woman behind him further behind him.

He's a fat guy who can bend and stretch!

Although the fat on her face was still trembling slightly.

Gu Qingyue stopped in her tracks. "Forget it," she thought, "it's just a scare tactic. How could it possibly kill someone?"

"Don't rush around in crowded places in the future. Be careful," Gu Qingyue sighed, leaving behind these words before turning and walking towards the roadside.

The fat man behind him was stunned. Was he all that fierce just to say that?

A look of surprise flashed in the fat man's eyes as he thought of something.

Gu Qingyue wanted to check the little beggar's injuries, but after looking around, she found that the little beggar was nowhere to be found.

Shaking her head and smiling, Gu Qingyue continued walking forward.

"Hold on, hero!" The fat man swiftly caught up with Gu Qingyue from behind.

All that was left were the servants baring their teeth and howling.

"May I ask your honorable name, sir?"

"Then, sir, what is your surname?"

"Where are you from, hero?"

“Where are you going, hero? I know this place well. You’re not a local, are you? I’ll be your guide.”

Gu Haohan Qingyue turned her head impatiently and said helplessly, "Get lost."

The fat man froze for a moment, rooted to the spot.

Seriously, that look in his eyes just now was terrifying.

"My surname is Qin. Until we meet again, my hero," Gu Qingyue said, walking a long way before the fat man's indomitable voice echoed behind her.

Gu Qingyue: It's really...

The fat man was being so enthusiastic that she was finding it a bit overwhelming.

I quickened my pace and turned into a small alley.

Gu Qingyue did not see the pair of bright, gleaming eyes watching her from behind the fat man, radiating a beast-like light.

Gu Qingyue never expected that after playing the hero and saving someone, the person would disappear without a trace, while the fat man who was beaten would become incredibly enthusiastic. This was truly...

It was almost an hour later when we strolled over to Mo Ji Pharmacy.

Gu Qingyue is not used to riding horses in the bustling city, unless it is an extremely urgent matter.

Of course, the Gu residence also had a carriage, but she didn't use it. She just wanted to see the prosperity of Lizhou City. To be honest, even though she had owned a house here for so long, she was still not familiar with this city.

Her current impressions of Lizhou City all come from the abstract maps of Lizhou that can be bought in bookstores.

"Sir, please come in!"

As soon as she stepped into Mo Ji Pharmacy, a quick-witted young shop assistant came up to her. This was her second time at Mo Ji Pharmacy, which mainly dealt in medicinal herbs. Of course, there were also doctors on duty, mainly to read prescriptions for people who came to get medicine and to take care of minor ailments.

It is different from traditional medical clinics.

Gu Qingyue walked into the pharmacy, looked around, and happened to see Manager Liu from last time.

He was a shrewd middle-aged man who, upon seeing Gu Qingyue, immediately put down the mortar and pestle in his hand and walked over.

"Young Master Gu, it's been a long time," Manager Liu said with a very friendly smile, neither obsequious nor cold, his manner perfectly measured.

Yes, he is a shrewd and intelligent person.

I wonder where Mo Shaoshang found such a shopkeeper.

"Yes, I came here today to buy some more medicinal herbs," Gu Qingyue said, taking out a piece of paper from her sleeve. It listed a lot of medicinal herbs, and the quantity was not small.

She had prepared this while she was in the military camp, planning to buy it when she returned to Lizhou.

"No problem," Manager Liu said, inviting Gu Qingyue to sit down in the rest area on one side of the lobby. Then he began to carefully examine the prescription.

After a moment, he looked up and said, "We have most of the medicinal herbs, and we can send them over today. However, there are four herbs that we don't have right now. To be honest, these four herbs are very rare, and we need our herb gatherers to spend time looking for them. It will probably take at least a month to get news." He then smiled apologetically.

To be honest, Moji Pharmacy is already the largest medicinal herb merchant in the southwest region. Every day, at least a quarter of the goods shipped from them account for a quarter of the total volume in Lizhou City, which is a very large number. Compared with other pharmacies, they have a more complete range of medicinal herbs.

However, they really didn't have those four medicinal ingredients that Gu Qingyue needed.

Gu Qingyue was also aware of this. To be honest, on her way back to Lizhou City, she stopped in a small county town and asked at two pharmacies. There were at least ten kinds of medicinal herbs that they had never even heard of, which made her very frustrated.

Mo Ji is only missing four medicinal herbs. It seems I'll have to make another trip to the mountains.

She has now planted hundreds of kinds of medicinal herbs in her space. Apart from the herbs needed for the first body tempering, most of the others are common herbs for treating external injuries and infections, such as clearing heat and reducing inflammation. After all, she is now officially a military doctor, so it's better to have herbs on hand. Who knows what might happen on the battlefield?

"Sure, then I'll trouble Manager Liu to keep an eye on these four medicinal herbs for me and let me know as soon as there's any news," Gu Qingyue decided that she would go into the mountains whenever she had time, so it wouldn't be a problem.

“No problem, Young Master Gu, please wait a moment while I prepare the other medicinal herbs,” said Manager Liu as he walked toward the back herb storeroom.
