Chapter 116: Gratitude

A gratitude from the heart may not be useful to Meng Nan, but she was really grateful to him.

There were things that he didn’t have to do, but he still did.

When the Bai Family was punished, the play also finished. And so the villagers dispersed. Some of them went back to their house to cook, some went back to work. Soon, the noisy environment in the courtyard became quiet and the area became clear.

Meng Nan led Jin Shiwei and the two public servants out from the Bai Family house.

Zhao Lan pulled Bai Zhi and came forward to Meng Nan: “Daren, thank you for solving this case. And thank you for treating us mother and daughter fair.”

Meng Nan waved his hand: “No need to thank me. This is my job as an official. And since this official has time, I must do what I have to do. No need to be polite.” Meng Nan said as his eyes fell on Bai Zhi’s body. His eyes looked bright.

“Bai Zhi, do you remember your promise?”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “This village girl doesn’t dare to forget.” Then, she looked up into the sky. Seeing the sun gradually rose up high, she knew that it will be noontime soon. So, she said: “The time is not too early, it’s better for Daren and the others to stay and eat with us.”

The two public servants obviously didn’t feel happy. What can they eat delicious food in a shabby village? If they go back now, they might be able to eat something in the restaurant to the town.

Meng Nan turned to the two public servants and said: “You two should go back first, this official and Jin Shiwei will stay. There are still things this official need to ask Bai Zhi.”

The two public servants quickly nodded their head and then rush to leave. They fear that if they stayed a bit longer, they will be forced to eat something in this shabby village, which they don’t want to happen.

Meng Nan’s eyes then fell on Hu Feng’s body. Hu Feng turned his back on them and just looked at the far distance.

“Is he Hu Feng?” Meng Nan asked with knitted eyebrows.

Hu Changlin busily answered: “Yes.”

Meng Nan looked at Hu Feng’s slender and straight back. Although Hu Feng was wearing patches clothes, it cannot cover the noble atmosphere in his body from inside and out.

An ordinary person from the mountain village can have such a noble atmosphere?

When Meng Nan looked at Hu Feng again, Hu Feng has already walked forward. His footsteps were steady and there were no sounds. He should have practiced martial arts.

Looking at himself, Meng Nan couldn’t feel any nobleness to him. He was like ordinary mountain people. It’s just he walked a bit more upright.

Were his eyes defective?

“Hu Feng seems doesn’t love talking?” Meng Nan asked Hu Changlin.

Hu Changlin busily replied: “Answering back to daren, Hu Feng is an introvert person. Even at home, he doesn’t talk much. Please forgive him.”

Meng Nan snorted and said to Bai Zhi: “Aren’t you asking me to have lunch? Let’s go!”

Oh, he is not polite at all.

A group of people headed to Hu Family house. Hu Feng had already returned to his room. His door was closed and it seemed that he doesn’t plan to come out.

Bai Zhi said to Meng Nan: “Daren, you can have some rest first. I will go and cook lunch. After we finish eating lunch, I will write you a prescription that can cure your face in just 3 days.”

Ji Shiwei was overjoyed: “Is that true?”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “How can I dare to fool Daren with this issue? Additionally, the poison in Daren is not a rare one. I’m sure all the doctors in the town also know this prescription, it’s just they were too cautious to give him this medicine. They were afraid to take responsibility if they made a mistake, which made Daren’s poison remain unsolved.”

Hearing her words, Jin Shiwei’s hanging heart finally put at ease. The little girl in front of him doesn’t look like taking advantage of them.
