Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Half an hour later.

Gu Chan and others finally returned safely to Zhongyuan Medical Clinic.

As soon as they came back, everyone in the clinic gathered around them, hugged them and cried.

They are the ones who are most worried about this border war.

To them, Gu Chan and others are like their relatives. How could they not be worried about them?

The ones who cried the loudest were Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue.

At this moment, the two of them were hugging Gu Chan, one on the left and one on the right, crying loudly. Their tears had soaked Gu Chan's collar.

Gu Chan said helplessly, "Alright, stop crying. If you make everyone cry, people who don't know will think you are mourning! We have returned victoriously this time, and everyone should be happy."

"Gu Chan is right. Stop crying and be happy." Zhang Wanshan said, stopping his tears.

Ding Meihua stepped forward and quickly reached out to pull Ouyang Wan'er and Ziyue apart.

After sobbing for a while, the two finally stopped crying and smiles appeared on their faces.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Gu Chan asked Ma Zheng to carry the box of gold into the hall and open it, then said to everyone, "The emperor rewarded me with 50,000 taels of gold this time. After dividing it among them, there are still 14,000 taels left. Now I will take out 4,000 taels and divide it equally among everyone."

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

"Boss, we will follow you from now on and will never leave."

"That's right! There is a future in following the shopkeeper."

Everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and they all flattered Gu Chan.

Gu Chan laughed happily and waved her hand, immediately asking Ma Zheng to take out four thousand taels of gold and divide it equally among everyone in the clinic except Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue.

Then Gu Chan pulled the two of them and said, "You two are like the mistresses of this family, so you don't have to share. I'll give you 10,000 taels of gold. You can choose what you want. Anyway, this whole family will be handed over to you in the future."

"Ah? What do you mean? Didn't you come back victorious? Are you leaving again?"

"Yeah! I just got back!"

Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue were both very smart. They clearly heard something wrong in Gu Chan's words, so they both started asking.

At this moment, their minds were not on the 12,000 taels of gold at all, but were all on Gu Chan.

Everyone in the clinic looked at Gu Chan, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

You know, from the very beginning, Gu Chan was the backbone of this family. Whenever she was not around, everyone lived in fear every day, but once she came back, everyone felt full of security.

So no one in the clinic wanted her to leave.

Gu Chan did not hide anything and told everyone in detail how the emperor sent her to Jiangnan to get silver and rescue the border.

After everyone understood, they all nodded in relief.

Of course, Gu Chan did not immediately tell everyone the six-month deadline given by the emperor, for fear that everyone would worry.

Facts have proved that her approach was correct.

Zhang Wanshan was the first to speak, "Gu Chan, since the emperor trusts you so much and has given you an official position, asking you to go to Jiangnan to make money, just go. Anyway, this is also for the purpose of revitalizing the border, there is nothing wrong with that."

"Yes! We all came from the border. Think about how poor we were back then! We couldn't even afford meat or vegetables. If you make money this time and can make the border a better place, and everyone can have warm clothes and enough food, that would be a great deed!" Ding Meihua said with a smile.

Everyone followed suit and drank.

Wei Xing and the other six stood aside in silence, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

If everyone knew that the emperor had given a time limit this time, and that if Gu Chan failed to get that astronomical sum of money within half a year, his entire family would be executed, I wonder if everyone would still agree with Gu Chan going to Jiangnan.

Gu Chan pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to everyone and work hard when I go to Jiangnan to get money to revive the border."

"Then Wan'er, Ziyue, you guys quickly go get some good wine and food and set up a banquet. We'll celebrate tonight and welcome them back triumphantly." Zhang Wanshan said happily, waving his hand.

Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue nodded in agreement, and immediately took a few old ladies to the kitchen to start cooking.

The others helped Gu Chan to move the things in the carriage outside into the clinic, and arranged the eight mysterious beasts in the large animal room behind the clinic. They lit a charcoal brazier to warm them, brought them food and water, and took good care of them.

Gu Chan and the others had some free time, so they sat in the lobby to rest by the fire.

At this time, Lao Bai came down from the second floor.

Gu Chan quickly stood up and saluted.

Lao Bai waved at her, motioning her to sit down, then he walked over to her and sat down, then said to her, "When are you planning to go to Jiangnan?"

"Three days later! During these three days, we still need to make preparations. We have to go there in the name of a caravan and hide our identities." Gu Chan said.

Lao Bai nodded quietly, reached into his sleeve, took out a letter, and handed it to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan asked in confusion, "Master, what is this?"

"When you arrive in Jiangnan, if you meet a strong man you can't deal with, take this letter to find the old woman hiding in the Xiaoyao Sect in Jiangnan. She is my old lover when I was young. For my sake, she might help you." Lao Bai said seriously.

Gu Chan immediately stared at him with eyes wide open.

Wei Xing sat at the side, grinning and joking, "Well! I really can't tell! Old man, you were quite a playboy when you were young, and you even have an old lover in Jiangnan."

"You are underestimating the old man. He must have been very handsome when he was young and charmed thousands of girls!" Ren Yin said jokingly.

Xue Lihua and the other three laughed secretly with their hands covering their mouths when they heard this, they were extremely happy.

Lao Bai rolled his eyes at them, and then said to Gu Chan, "Remember, that old woman has a bad temper. When you go to see her, try to coax her and don't make her angry, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Master, can't you just go with us?" Gu Chan said, spreading his hands.

"Oh! I'm old, and my old bones can't stand the hard work. Besides, I've lived here for a while, and I'm quite comfortable. I've fallen in love with this place. In the future, I'd really like to stay with you all, treat illnesses and save lives. I'm too lazy to mess around with you young people." Lao Bai sighed.

Gu Chan nodded without comment, "Okay, then before I leave, I'll give you some more homework and I'll check it when I come back."

"Hurry up! I have almost learned the division." Lao Bai urged in a bad mood.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Mathematics is endless. After you have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, there are still fractions, square roots, geometry, linear multiplication of two variables, linear multiplication of three variables, and so on!" Gu Chan said with a strange smile.

Lao Bai's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. He was like a learning machine, wanting to absorb knowledge crazily.

Seeing that he was so eager to learn, Gu Chan stopped talking nonsense and immediately went back to the room with him and continued to explain to him the relevant theoretical knowledge of fractions.
