Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Men could be so childish regardless of age.

Xiao Heng intended to throw the firecracker just as the fuse burned down to its last second, and it was too late for Gu Jiao to stop it.

With the final explosion of tonight's firecrackers, Xiao Heng was turned into a roasted black chicken.

Xiao Heng, with his hair standing on end and spitting out black smoke, looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

Gu Jiao covered her eyes: "..."

In the small courtyard of the medical hall, Hua Xiyao paced back and forth inside the room, making Mo Qianxue dizzy with her movements.

"What are you doing, Hua Xiyao?" Mo Qianxue asked impatiently.

Hua Xiyao fanned herself and looked towards the yard, saying, "I'm waiting for Physician Gu's news. I've given her so many pointers; I wonder how they're doing now?"

Mo Qianxue replied irritably, "You're really nosy!"

Hua Xiyao chuckled, "How is this being nosy? The Young Owner is dead, Heavenly Music House has been seized, I'm all alone, and the government is waiting for me to go to jail. Physician Gu is my only lifeline, I have to hold on tight."

Mo Qianxue sneered, "Humph, I wonder who just swore loyalty to the Young Owner and accused me of being heartless and biting the hand that feeds me?"

Hua Xiyao remained unfazed and said with a smile, "Unlike you, I've been loyal to the Young Owner from start to finish. But now that she's gone, I can't just go down with her! The living ones have to move on!"

Mo Qianxue harrumphed, "You talk better than you sing."

Hua Xiyao rolled her eyes, "I won't argue with you. I'll wait for Physician Gu! But considering how many surprises Physician Gu has prepared for Lord Xiao, I bet they're already deeply in love again."

Mo Qianxue wished she could find something to sew Hua Xiyao's mouth shut!

"Oh! She's back!" Hua Xiyao spotted a familiar figure pa.s.sing by the back entrance of the medical hall. She slightly lifted her skirt and rushed over with her fan in hand.

Mo Qianxue couldn't help but crane her neck to look outside.

Hua Xiyao entered the lobby, grabbed a medical boy, and asked, "Where did Physician Gu go? I just saw her."

The medical boy blushed as Hua Xiyao grabbed his arm, "Physician Gu is in the consultation room at the east end."

Not paying attention to him anymore, Hua Xiyao fanned herself and entered the room where Gu Jiao was.

"Physician——"

She pushed open the door and was immediately speechless.

Who was this little charcoal sitting in the wheelchair?

"Hold on a bit, husband, you'll be fine soon." Gu Jiao crouched down to bandage Xiao Heng's injuries, which were mainly on his left arm and left foot.

His left arm was injured by the firecracker, and Gu Jiao had wrapped it into a mummified arm from hand to shoulder.

As for his left foot, it was injured by a wooden pole falling on it. Gu Jiao helped him sit on a stone stool. He hadn't walked at the time, so he didn't notice immediately.

It was when he wanted to return to the carriage that he discovered his foot was also sprained.

There were also some minor scratches and sc.r.a.pes, and Gu Jiao also bandaged them up and applied a splint.

His leg looked mummified as well.

Hua Xiyao's body trembled.

Physician Gu, when you apologize, you should be sincere. To think your apology almost cost his life.

Gu Jiao pushed Xiao Heng back to Bishui Alley in the wheelchair.

Late at night, the noisy alley was left with the sound of footsteps and the creaking of the wheelchair.

Everyone in the house had gone to sleep.

With his bad brother-in-law not around, Little Jing Kong decisively climbed onto Huangfu Xian's bed with his little pillow.

Because of Huangfu Xian, they had modified the threshold, making it easy to push the wheelchair.

Gu Jiao pushed Xiao Heng to the doorway of the west room.

Thinking about what happened tonight, she felt regretful.

She was supposed to coax him, but why did it turn out like this?

After a moment's thought, she bent down and whispered in his ear, "Actually, I had prepared a surpri..."

Before she could finish saying the word "surprise," Xiao Heng resolutely pushed the wheelchair into the room with his right hand.

Then, he turned the wheelchair, closed the door, and bolted it all in one go!

Turning back, he leaned against the wheelchair, covered his chest, and took a deep breath, "Whew!"

No more surprises, or his life might be at risk.

Gu Jiao scratched her head.

Did she manage to coax him or not?

"Then... goodnight, husband."

She said goodnight to the west room's door and turned back to the east room.

Gu Jiao fell asleep quickly.

Since the dream about the Gu Family Army, Gu Jiao hadn't dreamt for nearly half a year. However, her prophetic dreams returned tonight.

She thought she would dream of familiar people, but it turned out to be strangers, people she didn't recognize at all.

Or more precisely, she couldn't make out their faces at all.

It was a terrible storm that lasted a full day and night, causing landslides and mudslides. At the foot of the mountain was a village that got entirely submerged.

Perhaps due to it being a natural disaster, there was no delay or advance due to human influence.

It happened precisely at midnight the day after tomorrow.

If it had been during the day, maybe someone could have been alerted, but everyone was asleep at midnight, and not a single person in the village managed to escape.

After waking up, Gu Jiao went straight to Xiao Heng's west room.

Xiao Heng had just awakened.

Men often wake up with a certain physiological reaction in the early morning, especially young men in their prime.

Usually, in such situations, Xiao Heng would calmly wait until things settled down before getting out of bed.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao knocked on the door, "Husband, are you awake? I need to talk to you."

Xiao Heng, looking at his proud morning state, felt a sudden panic, "Wait, wait a moment!"

"Husband, it's urgent." Gu Jiao said, "I'm coming in."

In his fl.u.s.tered state, Xiao Heng grabbed a pillow to cover his legs, then looked solemnly at the door latch.

The latch! The latch!

Did he need to get up to open the door?

Wouldn't that be——

Xiao Heng glanced at the door latch and then at the pillow covering him.

If he got up, he would expose himself; if he didn't, he couldn't open the door——
