"Of course, no problem." Mu Anhan knew that in this countryside, especially with the rainy and snowy weather, the roads to the town were not smooth. It was indeed hard for the elderly to be sick.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Gu!" The old man kept poking his hands.
"Wait for outside for a mont. I’ll put on a down jacket and go with you." Mu Anhan said.
"Okay!"
After the door was closed, Mu Anhan took the down jacket hanging next to her and said playfully, "Honey, I’m going to help people, can’t stay here as a fem fatale."
Gu Xiaozhan also took a coat from the side and put it on, "I’ll go with you."
"No need, you’ve been tired all day, take a rest first. I’ll be right back after checking." Mu Anhan felt sorry for him always being busy.
Gu Xiaozhan wouldn’t listen; this place was unfamiliar, not to ntion it was the countryside. He wasn’t comfortable with her going alone with the local.
"How about you ask Vice Marshal Lu to send soone with ?" Mu Anhan stopped him.
Gu Xiaozhan already stepped out: "Don’t the others need rest?"
Mu Anhan: "..."
Seeing that he was determined to go with her, she didn’t say anything more.
After all, with him beside her, she could feel at ease.
The two of them, along with the old man, walked along the muddy road to his house.
Under the dim lighting, there was an elderly mother lying in the bed, completely motionless.
Next to her, the daughter-in-law was accompanying her, repeatedly calling out, "Mom... Mom..."
Mu Anhan stepped forward to check the pulse and then used silver needles for acupuncture. After busily working for a while, the old lady slowly woke up, and the first thing she said was, "How can the girl from Yama Hall be so pretty?"
"Pfft..." Mu Anhan couldn’t help but laughed, "Old lady, you can talk?"
"Of course I can." The old lady, although just waking up, spoke clearly and wasn’t senile, "Such a pretty girl, even King Yan looks good..."
What she said about King Yama referred to Gu Xiaozhan standing behind Mu Anhan.
Gu Xiaozhan was always called King Yama by the world, nad for his cold and ruthless style and iron-handed ans.
But he never expected to be validated by an old lady from the countryside.
Mu Anhan looked at Gu Xiaozhan with a smile, and jokingly said, "King Yama, let the old lady return to the world! Look at her, she’s glowing with energy, might even live longer than so scorpions!"
Gu Xiaozhan, known as King Yama, played along: "Alright! Grant the old lady thirty more years of life."
"Wow..." The old lady burst into laughter, her mouth toothless, revealing only red gums, "If I live thirty more years, I’ll be over a hundred. I’m already over eighty now... Can’t be so long-lived..."
Listening on the side, the old man couldn’t help but say, "Mom, you weren’t taken away by King Yama, this is Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu!"
"Ah?" The old lady couldn’t believe it, "Really?"
"Absolutely true, Mr. Gu was dispatched by the president for disaster relief. He is the chief commander, yet he is concerned about the difficulties of us rural folk. Mrs. Gu is a good person; she saved everyone in our village today!" The old man quickly said.
The old lady nodded, "Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are truly a perfect match! Both especially good-looking, like the golden boy and jade girl in the New Year painting!"
"Old lady, I also prescribed so dicine for you. Rember to take it on ti." Mu Anhan took so dicine from the bag, divided it into small bags, labeled them with a pen, and handed them over to the old man.
