Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The supervisor looked at him and said, "Of course I will give you the normal amount."

Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little afraid of being treated specially, and he felt uneasy holding such money.

Gu Yue followed the loaders to take a rest. It was a very simple hut, a temporary residence. The people with Gu Yue were all short-term workers and could leave after moving this batch of goods.

The Marquis's wife would not make things too difficult for him. If he worked honestly for the past few days, there should be other arrangements.

As for the finished manuscript and the remaining two acres of land at home, Gu Yue would go back and take care of them all once things in Su Shui County were settled.

……

At this time, it was located in Xiaoluo Mountain, about fifty miles east of Sushui County.

In a quiet farmyard.

Crown Prince Qin Zhaoyue was lying flat on the earthen kang in the room.

He seemed to have a high fever, his cheeks were flushed, and his pale lips were moving as he spoke something vaguely.

A pair of white but calloused hands took out a towel from the basin beside them, wrung it wetly, and then placed it on Qin Zhaoyue's forehead.

Sitting on the edge of the kang was a woman wearing coarse linen clothes. She had a round and delicate face, and her eyes were filled with sorrow and concern. She moved closer to observe Qin Zhaoyue's expression.

She only looked down for a moment, then stood up and left the yard.

Qin Zhaoyue woke up at this moment.

He felt unbearable pain all over his body and didn't even have the strength to raise his hands. What happened?

Trying hard to recall, he was arranging things in the wild forest of Xiaoluo River outside Gujia Village before he fell into coma, and was suddenly surrounded by killers.

He and his two followers were all good at martial arts, but two fists are no match for four hands. His two confidants were killed on the spot, and he was chased like a stray dog. Finally, he was hit by a sword and fell into the Xiaoluo River.

This was totally inconsistent with his plan!

Thinking of the scene where Yu Hu and Lu Tianyun were stabbed to death, Qin Zhaoyue closed his eyes and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

One of them was his study partner, and the other was a martial arts master who had been with Qin Zhaoyue since childhood. They had followed him for more than ten years, and had been with him in all matters, big and small. Qin Zhaoyue felt a strong sense of regret when he suddenly lost his right-hand man.

At least they... were not captured, so many of his plans could go on, and he still had a chance for revenge.

But what is this place?

As the crown prince, Qin Zhaoyue quickly recovered from the pain of losing his best friend. He concentrated on his Qi and let his internal energy circulate in his meridians, gradually regaining some strength.

Close your eyes and listen carefully. There is the sound of gurgling water outside, and the constant calls of chickens and ducks. In addition, judging from the material of the beams and walls, what kind of village is this?

This coincided with his previous plan, but the difference was that at this moment, everything was completely out of control.

The woman in coarse cloth came back with a bowl of hot soup in her hand.

"Sir! You're awake."

The woman was very happy. She put the bowl in her hand on the table next to her and came forward to help Qin Zhaoyue up.

"...Who are you?" Qin Zhaoyue asked with a gloomy look in his eyes. The woman's strength was gentle and her tone was soft, so he finally softened his tone.

"My name is Wu Yue. A few days ago, you were washed to the foot of Xiaoluo Mountain by the river, and it was I who rescued you."

"Are you alone?" Qin Zhaoyue stared at her.

"No, several villagers also came to help." Wu Yue said honestly.

"Whose house am I in?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

"This is my daughter's home. Sir, don't worry... I have an elder brother who is a doctor in Xiaoluo Village, so..."

There was just the right amount of humiliation on Wu Yue's face.

She took a step back, keeping a distance from Qin Zhaoyue, and handed him the hot soup on the table.

"I know that you are dressed gorgeously, so you must not be from an ordinary family...but Wu Yue never does anything to seek repayment for a favor, so please believe in my innocence." Wu Yue's eyes turned red and she turned and walked out of the house.

Qin Zhaoyue felt embarrassed.

Wu Yue was very clever. After Qin Zhaoyue asked him two questions, he immediately guessed that he was questioning his greed for money, so he immediately proved himself, making Qin Zhaoyue look wrong.

Which of those women from noble families who tried to enter his house could say such courageous words?

Qin Zhaoyue closed his eyes, his limbs aching slightly. He picked up the bowl and took a sip.

The coarse noodle soup unique to the Central Plains region, with some salt and vegetables added, is surprisingly mild and delicious.

Wu Yue's voice came from the window again: "Sir, please drink slowly. My brother told me that you haven't eaten for several days, so you shouldn't eat too fast."

The voice was quite far away. Qin Zhaoyue looked out the window and could only see a piece of green coarse cloth.

Qin Zhaoyue said apologetically: "I was just being mean, please don't blame me Miss Yue."

Qin Zhaoyue considered: "The girl speaks clearly and logically, not like an ordinary peasant girl."

Wu Yue didn't say anything outside. After a while, Qin Zhaoyue heard footsteps. Wu Yue tied up her skirt, took a basin and went to the yard to feed the chickens and ducks.

She said slowly, "Sir, you still don't believe me? I came to Xiaoluo Village with my brother a year ago. I was originally a doctor in Guicheng in the south."

Wu Yue looked up at Qin Zhaoyue in the window, then quickly lowered her head.

She seemed to have calmed down and hummed a tune softly.

Qin Zhaoyue stared at her soft Wu dialect voice as she stared at her half-white neck exposed in the sun and her trouser legs stained with mud, and was stunned for a long time.

He wanted to apologize, but he couldn't bear to interrupt the girl's humming. He finished the hot soup unknowingly, holding the empty bowl, a little at a loss.

Whether in the palace or outside, as a prince, he would never hold an empty coarse porcelain bowl in his hands.

After a while, Wu Yue finished humming the tune and fed the chickens and ducks.

"Please put the bowl you have finished drinking on the windowsill."

I still couldn’t see her face, only Wu Yue’s soft voice could be heard.

Qin Zhaoyue put down the empty bowl.

He considered again and again: "I am sorry for being rude, please forgive me..."

It was strange that he was a prince, yet he had to ask for forgiveness from a peasant girl.

"Why did you leave your hometown and come here? As far as I know, Guicheng has been enjoying good weather and good harvests for many years without any disasters."

Wu Yue seemed to no longer be angry with Qin Zhaoyue. She seemed to be busy with something, but Qin Zhaoyue couldn't see it.

"It was local... My family got into some trouble, so I ran away."

She didn't want to say more, and immediately changed the subject: "Young Master, you haven't introduced yourself yet. Do you want me to keep calling you Young Master?"

Qin Zhaoyue naturally couldn't give his real name. How famous was he? The Hangzhou newspapers had almost found out what color pants he liked to wear.

"My name is Zhao Qingyue. I have a connection with Miss Wu Yue because we both have the word 'moon' in our names." Qin Zhaoyue said with a smile.

Wu Yue snorted softly.

"I'm afraid it's not taken by your parents now?" Wu Yue said softly, "But I know your difficulty. The more noble you are, the more you cannot reveal your name. I will call you Master Qingyue."

Qin Zhaoyue was embarrassed, but a little moved.
