Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 133 The Lady of the Constable's House (11)

"Is this... poisoning?" Gu Yuxi frowned slightly and thought to himself.

She stared at the horse in front of her, which suddenly became timid. The horse trembled and slowly stopped.

Gu Yuxi walked up quickly and carefully checked the condition of the horse. When she saw the horse spitting out white foam from its mouth, her heart sank - just as she expected, the horse had been poisoned!

She quickly reached into her pocket, pulled out a porcelain bottle, and poured out two bean-sized pills.

Then, she held a silver needle and carefully stabbed it towards the horse's throat...

The stimulated horse opened its mouth. Gu Yuxi threw the pill into it without hesitation, and pulled out the poison arrow that was deeply inserted into the horse's neck at an extremely fast speed.

However, at this moment, the horse's four legs suddenly began to twitch violently, and its entire body shook uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom" and it fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Gu Yuxi was not frightened by this sudden change. She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and continued to take out some secret medicine powder from her arms, preparing to treat the wound of the injured horse.

She skillfully and gently sprinkled the powder all over the horse's body, especially the place where it was shot by the poison arrow. After doing this, Gu Yuxi stood quietly by and observed the horse's reaction.

"Don't move, girl. The horse is frightened and might hurt someone."

Gu Yuxi looked carefully and found that the panting and wet young man in front of him was the one who had been desperately chasing the horse just now.

At this moment, the boy's forehead was covered by his sweat-soaked hair, which also covered his facial features. Crystal clear beads of sweat were sliding down his hair to his cheeks.

"Don't worry, the horse is fine, it's just poisoned."

Gu Yuxi comforted him softly. As she spoke, she closed the lid on the powder bottle and stood up.

Xiao Zhuoxuan stood aside and watched silently. After not seeing her for a few days, he realized that the girl who bought the donkey still had such skilled medical skills and a gentle and kind side.

Xiao Zhuoxuan stared at Gu Yuxi's focused expression, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the black blood that kept flowing from the horse's neck. He thought to himself: Just as she said, this horse was indeed poisoned.

Oh no! Those hidden weapons are actually poisonous! He stared with his eyes wide open, looking at his arm that was scratched by the hidden sword in disbelief. He felt dizzy and his eyes suddenly went dark, and his body shook involuntarily.

The man tried hard to keep his footing, but his legs were as weak as a defeated rooster and he seemed like he might collapse to the ground at any moment.

At the same time, his throat felt so dry, as if a fire was burning, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"girl!"

He murmured to himself, his voice as weak as the hum of a mosquito or fly, and it was only his three souls wandering and his seven souls floating.

Before he fainted, he quickly fell into a warm and soft ground. He smelled a faint scent of camellia. Looking at the person so close to him, he finally fainted.

"It's a scam!"

[Satisfaction: 30%]

Gu Yuxi squatted down and pushed the wet hair aside. He felt that he was really lucky. There was such a good thing in this scam.

"Consider you lucky."

She took out the medicine she had just given to the horse and stuffed a pill into the man's mouth. The pill melted in his mouth. She then carried the man under the apricot tree and began to look for his wound.

His arm was only scratched and he would wake up in half an hour after taking the antidote.

Half an hour later...

Xiao Zhuoxuan slowly opened his eyes, the golden light of the setting sun sprinkled on his face, making him feel a stinging pain.

He turned his head subconsciously, but his eyes were attracted by the scene in front of him - the pretty girl who seemed to have walked out of the apricot blossom rain was leaning quietly against the tree stump to rest.

The breeze blew gently, and the pink petals above the head fluttered down, like a dreamy drizzle of apricot blossoms.

One of the petals happened to fall on the woman's delicate and tempting red lips, like a dazzling gem inlaid in them.

Xiao Zhuoxuan couldn't help but watch intently, an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart, waves of throbbing, and he was intoxicated.

"Ok!"

When he gazed at the woman, he found that the sunlight shining on her made her radiate a sacred and inviolable light.

This made him lower his head involuntarily, not daring to look directly at her face. At this moment, she was like a flower blooming outside the world, which could be admired from afar but not played with.

Xiao Zhuoxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. He knew that such a woman was not something that an ordinary person like him could have.

Suddenly, a donkey's bray woke the dreamer up. Her butterfly-like eyes opened and she muttered, "Xiaodai, the time is not up yet."

Gu Yuxi looked to the side and saw that the unlucky guy had woken up, and the horse she had tied to the tree was already eating grass on the ground lively.

Xiao Zhuoxuan stood up, clasped his hands together, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, young lady. I was really going to die just now."

"How about you pledge yourself to me? I happen to be an orphan, and I need a husband."

[Satisfaction: 40%]

Gu Yuxi said with a smile: "Hahaha, just kidding, you won't take it to heart, right?"

"It's okay, girl, as long as you are happy."

The man's ears unconsciously blushed after hearing the teasing words. Looking at the woman's half-smile, even though he knew it was an act, he was still very nervous.

"Now that you're awake, I should leave too. After all, I still need to find an inn!"

"Miss, my name is Xiao Zhuoxuan, from Pi County, Xingdong Prefecture. May I ask your name? I will come over in a few days to express my gratitude to you."

"Gu Yuxi, Gu of ancient and modern, Yuxi of giving hope."

These three words flowed into Xiao Zhuoxuan's heart like a stream of clear spring, making him intoxicated.

As the woman slowly stood up, Xiao Zhuoxuan's eyes followed her movements.

He murmured in a low voice: "Gu Yuxi...what a nice name!"

At this moment, in Xiao Zhuoxuan's heart, it seemed that a seed had quietly sprouted and grown...

He followed, but the donkey stopped him aside, and he forgot that he had not yet untied the reins.

"Girl, you want to go to the inn. We happen to be on the same route. I'll take you there. It's not safe for you to be alone."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Xiao."

"It's not a bother, I'm the one who's bothering you."

Gu Yuxi climbed onto Xiaodai's back, and Xiao Zhuoxuan followed closely. The remaining afterglow lengthened their shadows.

"Girl, let me lead your donkey."

"No, innkeeper, please give my donkey a place to stay."

"Girl, it's 30 cents a night to look after the donkey."

"Thirty cents is thirty cents. I'll take it tomorrow morning."

Xiao Zhuoxuan took the lead to pay the money and said to Gu Yuxi: "Miss, I still need to go back to find my fellow villagers. I will come back another day to thank you."

"Mr. Xiao, this money."

The man left first, saying, "It's my duty. Goodbye."
