Chapter 7: Whatever Happens, Happens
Seeing the people collapsed on the ground, Gu Qingheng felt an urge to cry but couldn’t. He wondered why he was so unlucky!
Clearly… nothing happened yesterday when Datou followed him.
But today, as soon as he arrived, these men in black attacked them without a word, as if they wanted to kill. Gu Qingheng immediately scattered the medicinal powder in his hand, successfully causing them to fall unconscious.
Even other children in the village also fainted.
“Alas, I’ve caused trouble again.”
After speaking with a sense of helplessness, Gu Qingheng didn’t continue to stand there foolishly. Instead, he pulled a few children aside and hid them, then quickly ran back to the village to ask the villagers to take these children back, lest other men in black discover them and finish them off with a single blow.
Gu Qingheng wasn’t as strong as his sister, so at this time he could only seek help from others. Fortunately, although the villagers were scared, there were also parents among them. Upon hearing that their own children were in trouble, even though their legs trembled with fear, they still followed Gu Qingheng to take the hidden children away and return to the village.
At this time, in Yang Family Village, most of the villagers were gathered at the village entrance. Seeing Gu Qingheng and his group return, they finally felt relieved. Then, upon seeing the unconscious children, their parents began to wail at the top of their lungs, thinking something had happened to their sons.
At this moment, some people turned their gaze to the only conscious Gu Qingheng, wondering why only the Gu family’s children were fine. Was it because they used their children as a shielding board…
Even more hot-tempered individuals wanted to find Gu Qingheng to cause trouble and properly deal with this kid for making their own sons turn out like this!
Sometimes, good deeds go unrewarded.
However, when Gu Qingheng saw someone trying to attack him, he didn’t panic at all. Instead, he flicked the medicinal powder in his hand, and these people collapsed without a sound.
For people who were ungrateful like this, Gu Qingheng, following the example of his brother-in-law Gu Yu, never showed mercy.
“This is the medicinal powder my brother-in-law developed. As long as it touches someone, they will fall into a sleep, and there are no other effects. These children were able to survive thanks to the medicinal powder in my hand, otherwise they would all have been killed… As for whether it’s because of me, you can ask the other children who were there at the time about the cause of this incident.”
“I, Gu Qingheng, will not do anything despicable and shameless, but I will also not be wrongly accused for no reason. This incident was not my fault, but you stood by and watched these people harm me, truly unable to distinguish right from wrong. However, I will not blame you either. At worst, I will not come to this village again in the future.”
“Also, there’s no need to ask my brother-in-law for an antidote. These people will wake up tomorrow.”
After instantly dealing with a few adults using the medicinal powder, the surrounding villagers looked at him as if he were a monster. At this time, Gu Qingheng spoke impatiently and then left directly without staying there any longer.
If the village chief hadn’t gone to town to buy things, and if he had been here, the recent incident would not have happened.
At this moment, Gu Qingheng truly understood why his brother-in-law disliked meddling in other people’s affairs.
Because it is very likely to bring trouble upon oneself.
However, he couldn’t just ignore it. He could only say that he needed to be more vigilant in the future.
After all, not everyone is an ungrateful person; some people genuinely need help.
However, his brother-in-law’s medicinal powder was really effective. He would definitely try to trick more of it from his brother-in-law when he got back…
As Gu Qingheng was thinking about these things, he also hurried back home. Regarding using the medicinal powder to incapacitate the men in black, he knew it wasn’t a good thing, so he wanted to quickly tell Gu Yu about it.
However, when Gu Qingheng returned home, he found that Gu Yu was not at home.
Muyao Gu was also not there.
“Oh my! How could I forget that my sister and brother-in-law went to town for a date? Now there’s no one at home.”
Patting his forehead, Gu Qingheng said with frustration. Then, he didn’t rush to town to find them but calmly waited at home for Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao to return before telling them about it.
Gu Qingheng had great confidence in Gu Yu’s medicinal powder.
Even if nothing happened by tomorrow, these people would not wake up.
However, would the other men in black discover them…
This was a problem!
Looking at the dwindling medicinal powder in his hand, Gu Qingheng decided to stay and wait. Even if those men in black came, the remaining medicinal powder would be enough to deal with them.
As for what the villagers would do, Gu Qingheng didn’t want to meddle anymore.
He wasn’t a fool. After being treated like that just now, he still had to think about their safety… He wasn’t that desperate for trouble to go and meddle again.
Whatever happens, happens.
…
“Qingheng, are you alright!”
Just as Gu Qingheng was reading a book, Gu Mengyao’s voice suddenly sounded. When Gu Qingheng turned to look, he saw his sister jump over the perimeter wall without even going through the main gate.
As Gu Mengyao rushed over with a face full of anxiety, Gu Qingheng quickly said that he was fine and that his sister didn’t need to worry.
Seeing that Gu Qingheng was indeed alright, Gu Mengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knew! When she heard about this from the villagers, how scared she was in her heart.
Without even finishing listening, Gu Mengyao rushed home.
“Mengyao, you ran too fast.”
When Gu Yu returned, panting, Gu Qingheng had already explained everything that had happened to Gu Mengyao. When Gu Mengyao heard how the villagers had treated her brother, she became furious and then wanted to go to the village again to vent Gu Qingheng’s anger.
However, Gu Qingheng stopped Gu Mengyao at this moment and shook his head, indicating that it was unnecessary…
His sister was still the same as always. As soon as he was bullied, she would angrily retaliate for him.
Wuwuwu, sister is too good!
“Yu, those villagers are really too bad. They actually wanted to lay hands on Qingheng. If someone comes to ask for an antidote later, don’t give it to them.”
“What’s going on?”
“I just heard Qingheng say that in the village he… and then these people actually wanted to hit Qingheng. Even I haven’t hit my brother that much. How dare they!”
After being stopped by Gu Qingheng, Gu Mengyao was still very angry. While talking to Gu Yu, her tone was very heavy, which allowed Gu Yu to witness his wife’s extremely protective nature.
On the other hand, Gu Qingheng looked like he had done something wrong. He clearly felt that he had caused trouble by incapacitating the men in black.
Even if Gu Mengyao spoke up for him, it was still his fault.
He shouldn’t have been so curious and insisted on secretly watching those men in black in the mountains.
“Brother-in-law, I was wrong.”
“What are you wrong about?”
“I shouldn’t have gone to the mountain…”
“It’s alright, it’s just such a small matter, no need to feel guilty. You were able to save your own life this time, and I look at you with new eyes! You’ve really grown up, and you’re doing great.”
However, Gu Qingheng thought he would be mocked by his brother-in-law, but he didn’t expect… he actually heard Gu Yu’s praise, which made Gu Qingheng’s eyes widen.
Had his brother-in-law taken the wrong medicine?
