When Gu Shan saw Lin Zaozao silently not saying a word, Murong Hai gently coughed, walked to Lin Zaozao's side, and pushed her behind the screen.
"Alright, little fatty, don't overthink. After washing up, we still have things to be busy with.
After all, the number of people who come to ask for medicine today will definitely be much more than yesterday."
"Murong Hai, did you really stand guard outside my door all night last night?"
"Yeah!" Murong Hai nodded affirmatively.
"Did you really not hear any movement?"
"Except for your snoring, I really didn't hear anything else."
"Is that so? It seems that it really was just a wet dream I had."
Lin Zaozao looked at Murong Hai suspiciously, then turned around and walked behind the screen.
"Ye Yi, Murong Hai, come out for a second."
Gu Shan looked at the two of them, then turned around and walked out the door.
Ye Yi and Murong Hai looked at each other, then could only helplessly shake their heads and follow Gu Shan out.
In this world, no matter how capable they were, they could not fool Gu Shan! Just now, Gu Shan must have noticed something wrong.
After walking out the door, Gu Shan turned around in his wheelchair to look at Ye Yi and Murong Hai, and asked coldly,
"Did he come?"
"Yeah! He'll come today." Murong Hai said in a deep voice.
"I'm asking, did he come last night? And went into Zaozao's room?" As he spoke, Gu Shan cast his gaze at Ye Yi.
Ye Yi looked at Gu Shan's cold eyes, thought for a moment, then seriously nodded.
"I see. After the plague here ends, we should leave this place too."
Having gotten Ye Yi's affirmative answer, Gu Shan's expression involuntarily turned ugly.
"Gu Shan, after the plague ends, we should leave too. The poison in us has been solved by Zaozao by 70% now. The rest, Fan Tian can also formulate the antidote."
Murong Hai's words made Gu Shan's heart sink even more.
He had only been with Zaozao for such a short time. Was it really time to part ways?
If he left this time, would he still have a chance to come back alive and see Zaozao again?
No, even if he died, he had to die by Zaozao's side. She was the only ray of light in his life. Even in death he could not let go!
Ye Yi saw the loneliness on Gu Shan's face and could only pat him on the shoulder. He was powerless about this matter.
How could people like them have feelings!
Let alone, feelings as pure as those for Zaozao!
People like them only deserved to rot on the ground.
What's more, now that they were going back, it was just to struggle in vain before their death.
Sighing deeply, after exchanging a glance with Murong Hai, Ye Yi left with Ruo Qiu and Ji Fantian.
After everyone left, Gu Shan looked at Xiao Taohua and said coldly, "Young Master Poison, will you leave Zaozao too?"
"I would have originally, but not anymore. Zaozao and I have worshipped in a hall, becoming husband and wife. She is my wife now. I will only revolve around her for the rest of my life."
"Then you're not avenging anymore?"
"If there's a chance then I'll avenge, if there's no chance then I won't. Gu Shan, I'm different from you all. I'm just a lone wild ghost without any ties. Having a lively and cheerful wife like Zaozao is more than I could ask for even in my dreams.
So I won't give up my own happiness because of my hatred for revenge. Gu Shan, I also hope that you all can think thrice before acting. Don't have regrets only after losing something."
After saying that, Xiao Taohua looked at Gu Shan sympathetically, then turned around and walked into Lin Zaozao's room.
After all, no matter how capable Gu Shan was, he was no match for thousands of troops and horses!
He knew going back was a dead end, yet he still foolishly threw himself back in.
People like Gu Shan really couldn't even decide their own death!
Coming back to his senses, Xiao Taohua looked at Lin Zaozao's room. Today, he would use his skills to dress up this little chubby ball to look better.
He wanted others to know that his, Young Master Poison's wife, other than being chubby, was quite good-looking and cute.
"Little fatty, have you finished washing up?"
Xiao Taohua sat at the table, poured himself a cup of water and leaned his chin on his hand, waiting for Lin Zaozao to come out. But when he had just taken a sip of water, he was startled by Lin Zaozao, who had just walked out from behind the screen.
"Zaozao, this is..."
Xiao Taohua stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Lin Zaozao's colorful outfit and asked.
"Xiao Taohua, don't you think big sis looks elegant and luxurious in this outfit?"
After saying that, Lin Zaozao turned to the side facing Xiao Taohua, raised her eyebrows at him, and struck what she thought was an extremely charming pose.
Xiao Taohua looked at the clothes on Lin Zaozao's body, and for a moment he even doubted his own memory.
He remembered that they didn't seem to have picked out such flashy clothes for the little fatty yesterday, right!
And the headpiece on the little fatty's head, if he didn't see wrongly, wasn't that round platter used to hold lamp oil? Since when could a lamp oil platter be worn on the head as an accessory?
"Zaozao, where did you get those clothes from?" Xiao Taohua swallowed his saliva and asked nervously.
"From the wardrobe! I combined a few pieces of clothing to wear together. What's wrong, don't you think it looks good?"
Lin Zaozao turned in a circle in front of Xiao Taohua, and asked expectantly for praise.
"Zaozao, for your own good, let's change into another set of clothes, okay?"
"No way. I, Lin Zaozao, am now a Grand Immortal Lin. My outfit today must be different from the masses. I want people to be able to tell with one look in the sea of people that I, Lin Zaozao, am a grand immortal."
"But Zaozao, aren't grand immortals always in white, fluttering clothes?"
"Those in white fluttering clothes are immortals who are out of touch with the common folk. I, Lin Zaozao, am a down-to-earth grand immortal. So my flashy outfit also fits my identity as Grand Immortal Lin!"
After saying that, Lin Zaozao grabbed Xiao Taohua's hand, preparing to head out. There would definitely be a lot of people coming to seek medicine from her today, so she would definitely be very busy.
Therefore, in order to work today, she must eat her fill in the morning before going to work.
"Zaozao, let's change into another set of clothes! Actually, there are many beautiful clothes and accessories in the wardrobe." Xiao Taohua grabbed Lin Zaozao's hand and persuaded her unrelentingly again.
"It's fine, I already look great like this. Speaking of accessories, it is indeed missing some."
After saying that, Lin Zaozao released Xiao Taohua's hand and took several heavy golden hairpins from the jewelry box, haphazardly sticking them all into her hair.
"How about it? Luxurious?"
"Zaozao, isn't your head heavy from the gold weighing it down?"
Xiao Taohua looked at Lin Zaozao's head like a feather duster and asked blankly.
"Of course it's heavy. How could it show my extraordinary luxuriousness if it wasn't heavy!"
After saying that, Lin Zaozao grabbed Xiao Taohua's hand and strode straight outside.
When Lin Zaozao pulled Xiao Taohua to the front of the dining room, Dashan had already served the food on the table.
When he turned around and saw Lin Zaozao's outfit, his movements obviously paused.
"Dashan, don't I look good in this outfit?"
"L, Little master. Good, good-looking."
Dashan shifted his eyes and said word for word, seemingly unable to bear looking straight at her.
"Hmph, Dashan, you really don't have an eye for beauty. Don't you think I look particularly extraordinary in this outfit?"
"It is quite extraordinary." Dashan turned to the side and answered seriously.
"Good, my Dashan is indeed on the same wavelength as me!"
Lin Zaozao ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then looked at the empty dining table puzzledly and asked,
"Xiao Taohua, where are Ji Fantian and the others? Aren't they eating?"
"Zaozao, they went to deal with matters outside Xiaoshi Village and will be back soon. Also, didn't Ye Yi say yesterday he would give you a surprise? He went to prepare the surprise for you."
"Is that so?"
Lin Zaozao pursed her lips.
After Lin Zaozao finished eating and turned from the backyard to the entrance of her old courtyard, as soon as she appeared, she saw the endless sea of people crowded outside her door.
Seeing the crowd dressed in new and old clothes, Lin Zaozao finally exhaled slightly. This is how it should be! How could the plague still pick people!
Now seeing the crowd dressed in different clothes, both new and old, this was the normal crowd seeking medicine!
So Lin Zaozao steadied her mind, tidied up her outfit that belonged to a grand immortal, and then walked out from behind the house with Dashan and Xiao Taohua.
When Lin Zaozao appeared in her bizarre costume, the noisy chatter instantly quieted down.
"Ahem..."
Facing so many piercing stares, Lin Zaozao felt a bit intimidated for a moment. She secretly nudged Xiao Taohua and whispered,
"Xiao Taohua, is my outfit really that outrageous?"
Seeing the doubt in Lin Zaozao's eyes, Xiao Taohua suppressed her urge to laugh and nodded firmly,
"It's not just a little outrageous, it's extremely outrageous!"
"What?"
Hearing Xiao Taohua's words, Lin Zaozao instantly lost confidence in her costume.
But weren't the shamans on TV dressed in flashy, colorful clothes like this?
Except for being a bit gaudy and sloppy, her outfit still looked quite normal! After all, just looking at the gold hairpin on her head shows how prestigious this shaman is.
Still, to deal with what would happen next, Lin Zaozao mustered her courage and shamelessly sat down at the gate,
"Everyone, you've all come to ask medicine from this shaman?"
As soon as Lin Zaozao finished speaking, the stunned people immediately knelt on the ground.
"Shaman Lin, living deity, please save me! I'm dying of illness, please save me."
"Shaman Lin, please save us!"
"..."
"Shaman Lin, I'll give you gold, please cure us."
"Shaman Lin, as long as you're willing to cure us, I'm willing to marry my young son to you as a husband."
Seeing the middle-aged man who dragged over a snot-nosed brat from behind, the corner of Lin Zaozao's mouth twitched.
Damn, does she look that lecherous?
That brat he brought was still wearing split-crotch pants! How could someone so young be fit to be a husband?
Seeing Lin Zaozao's silence, the kneeling people thought she was willing to take the man's child as a husband.
Following his example, in just a moment, many people brought their young children forward and placed them at Lin Zaozao's feet, saying they would marry them to her as husbands if she was willing to give them the medicine.
The children were suddenly pushed forward by their elders. When they looked up and saw the round mountain of Lin Zaozao and her flashy outfit, their lips quivered as they burst into tears.
Lin Zaozao frowned as she listened to the wails at her feet. She felt the veins on her forehead throbbing.
Damn, what were they thinking? How could they think she would marry such young children as husbands?
What could she do with them if she brought them home? Get up to breastfeed them at night?
Sitting aside, Xiao Taohua saw Lin Zaozao's twitching mouth corners. To avoid revealing anything, she had to turn her body and tremble her shoulders as she desperately held in her laughter.
Seeing Xiao Taohua's shaking shoulders, Lin Zaozao knew he was useless now.
