Chapter 314: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 42
Gu Yong looked worried, "I hope it won't bring trouble to the family."
"Help me now, don't think too much!"
Gu Qian returned to the room and took out all the few healing medicines in the house. She also brought some medicinal powder that she had ground from herbs she had previously grown in the mountains to treat her injuries, and packed them all together with the herbs that had just been picked and were drying in the yard.
Then he took out the only gauze left in the house, and feeling that it was not enough, he took some coarse cloth.
"Dad, Mom, how are you, are you okay?"
"Almost done, almost done. I'll make a few more pancakes. I also made some rice porridge, thinking I could give them something hot to warm them up."
"Porridge is good, but it's inconvenient to bring it with you, right?"
"Why not? Just use a clean pot to pour the porridge in. I specially made some thin porridge, and you can just bring a few bowls with you."
"Well, I have all the herbs and gauze ready. I'll leave as soon as the pancakes and porridge are ready."
"Qianqian, how about... Daddy goes alone, you don't have to go."
"Dad, don't worry, nothing will happen. They don't know you, and if I don't go, they probably won't believe you."
"That's...ok."
After a while, all the pancakes were finally baked.
Li Xiuqin put all the cakes into a big bag, poured the porridge into a large pot that had been cleaned in advance, and then put everything into the backpack.
All the stuff filled two large backpacks.
"Okay, let's go quickly while there aren't many people outside and we won't be conspicuous."
Gu Yong and Gu Qian each carried a large backpack and set off.

"Chenglin, why has she not come back after being gone for so long?"
"Your Highness, please don't be impatient. This mountain is definitely still some distance away from her home. Besides, it will take time for them to get food."
Cheng Xiaoze nodded, but he began to feel uneasy.
He didn't know why he, who was so cautious, would trust a woman he met for the first time so casually.
Even if he is Cheng Lin’s friend, you shouldn’t do that!
If I really get tricked, I can only blame myself for letting my guard down.
But he really had no choice at the moment, as it was still a long way from here to Cheng Lin's home.
Some of his men were killed, some were injured, and there are probably only a few who can complete the journey.
In addition, there are so many assassins who have to be brought back for interrogation one by one, which is not something he and Cheng Lin can do.
It would take another day for his guards to arrive, so the only option left was to wait where he was.
I just hope that Gu Qian won't betray his trust...
Thump, thump, thump...
Suddenly, Cheng Xiaoze heard footsteps coming from afar. It was the sound of people walking in the woods stepping on dry leaves.
At the same time, He Chenglin and the other guards also heard it.
Suddenly, everyone stood up, holding their swords in hand, and became alert.
He Chenglin turned his head and looked at Cheng Xiaoze, then silently stood in front of him, and the two of them slowly retreated.
Not long after, Gu Yong and Gu Qian appeared in front of everyone.
Gu Qian looked at the tall and handsome guards in front of him who were holding swords and looking in their direction vigilantly. He knew what was going on.
Turning around, she saw Gu Yong paused and looked frightened, so Gu Qian quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.
"Hey, it's me! My father and I are here to bring you food and medicine. Don't be nervous, you can put down your swords and other things, there is no one coming this way on the road."
Seeing that it was Gu Qian, Cheng Xiaoze and He Chenglin both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, step back." Cheng Xiaoze ordered.
"Yes!"
Seeing that several guards who were injured but still had to work under orders finally retreated, Gu Qian hurriedly took Gu Yong forward and took out the things in the backpack one by one.
"Well... because we are in a hurry, we can only make you a few pancakes, which are convenient to carry. And don't complain if the porridge is too thin, because this pot can't hold too thick porridge, otherwise it will become rice by the time we get here."
Cheng Xiaoze watched Gu Qian busying around and felt inexplicably moved.
"No, Miss Gu. We can't thank you enough, so how could we despise you? For us, having something to eat is good enough."
"That's good."
Gu Qian handed the cake and porridge to He Chenglin, "Take them and share them. We brought bowls here. Each of you can have a little to warm your stomach."
"Oh, okay." He Chenglin hurriedly caught it, but the moment he caught it, he almost dropped the porridge and the cake to the ground.
"Be careful!" Seeing this, Gu Qian hurriedly helped him share the weight.
"Oh...gosh! This is too heavy!"
"You have such weak arms and legs, how can you be so useless!" Gu Qian said mockingly.
"I don't have your talent or strength!" He Chenglin curled his lips and said, "Just leave it here, they can come and get it themselves."
After saying that, he took a bowl and poured a bowl of porridge, then took a piece of cake and handed it to Cheng Xiaoze: "Brother Xiaoze, you eat first."
"Okay, thank you." Cheng Xiaoze took the pancake handed over by He Chenglin, took a bite, and it tasted quite good.
"Miss Gu, this cake tastes really good. It doesn't feel dry when paired with white porridge."
"That's right, my mother's cooking skills have always been good."
Cheng Xiaoze smiled and nodded, then he saw Gu Yong standing aside stiffly.
"You must be Miss Gu's father, right? Would you like to sit down and eat with us?"
Gu Yong was standing aside and watching his daughter chatting familiarly with a group of foreign men, and he was very worried. Then he heard the mysterious man with extraordinary background and handsome appearance mentioned by Xiuqin suddenly ask him a question, and he panicked instantly.
"Ah? Oh... I don't need it. This is for you. How can I eat it? My family is cooking. I will have something to eat when I go back."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
"Don't worry. My dad is a little flustered when he sees you guys, who all look so special. Don't worry about him. The more you pay attention to him, the more flustered he gets."
"Well... help yourself, we'll finish eating soon."
"Oh, okay."
After Gu Qian finished explaining, she saw some guards with injuries on their bodies eating tremblingly, so she quickly took out all the medicine.
"He Chenglin, these are the only medicines we found at home. They should be enough for you to deal with for a day. Just crush these herbs and apply them. I also brought gauze and some coarse cloth."
"Okay, thank you. I'll give them medicine right away."
He Chenglin drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, put the remaining cake aside, took the medicine and left.
After a while, everyone had almost finished eating. Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Qian packed up the bowls and pots and said goodbye.
"It's getting late now, so my father and I will take our leave first. Do you need us to bring some more food tomorrow morning?"
