Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 89 The Poor Cannon Fodder Who is a Master of Medicine and Poison 30

The master will accept the reward for her and his help in detoxifying King Xiaoyao.

She was not so shameless that she could not use the token and resources given to her by Xiao Yuanqi without any psychological burden.

It was only because she happened to walk into Xiao's restaurant this time that she accepted their kindness. She would definitely not do so easily next time. If it happens too often, it would seem like she was asking for repayment for a favor.

As for returning to the capital, she would definitely go back because her master was still there.

It’s just that I’ve only been out for a short time, and I really don’t want to go back. I’ll wait until I’ve had enough fun.

After seeing Gu Qian put down the letter, Luo Yunchen asked, "Qianqian, is this letter also written to you by your master?"

"No, it was the owner behind this restaurant who wrote to me. My master still lives in his house, so the letter was sent to me through his channels." Gu Qian said directly.

"Is that so? Does your master have a good relationship with him?" Luo Yunchen was a little worried because he had never met Gu Qian's master. He was afraid that Gu Qian's master favored someone else more, so he looked at Gu Qian secretly.

Gu Qian understood what Luo Yunchen meant, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and replied, "How should I put it? My master and his father have a good relationship. We can say they are close friends regardless of age. His father was poisoned, so he asked my master to help him detoxify. It's not easy for them to meet each other, so naturally they have to stay longer."

"As for whether the master has a good relationship with him, I don't quite know." Gu Qian said.

"Is that so..." Luo Yunchen nodded and continued, "Qianqian, since your master is still in the capital, do you want to continue playing outside or go back to find your master?"

Luo Yunchen was worried that Gu Qian would go back, so he couldn't keep following her. If that was the case, how could he cultivate his relationship with Gu Qian?

"Of course I'll stay outside. I've only been out for a short time. How can I go back so soon? Don't worry!"

Gu Qian saw through Luo Yunchen's thoughts. He was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to see her after she returned, so she gave him a reassurance.

"By the way, please bring me some paper and pen so I can write a letter to them." Gu Qian said.

"Okay, wait a moment." After Luo Yunchen finished speaking, he went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qian wrote about his situation and his general thoughts in the letter, telling them that he would write back regularly and would return to the capital when he had time, and asked them not to worry.

After writing the letter, Gu Qian gave it to the shopkeeper and asked him to deliver it to Xiao Yuanqi in the capital.

"Are you relieved now? Where are we going next?" Gu Qian said to Luo Yunchen with a smile.

Luo Yunchen smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and said: "I don't know either, let's walk and see."

"Okay." Gu Qian nodded, indicating her agreement. Then, the two walked side by side, without saying much along the way, but there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between them.

As they walked, they came to a busy street. The shops on both sides of the street were full of dazzling goods, and people were coming and going. However, when they passed by a teahouse, they suddenly heard a discussion coming from inside.

"Have you heard? Many strange things have happened around our city recently!" someone said in a low voice.

"I've heard of it. How could I not have heard of it? It is said that someone died inexplicably at home, and his death was tragic." Another person echoed.

"Yes, I heard about it too. After that man got into trouble, people around him died one after another. The ways of death were different, but the most important thing was that the deaths were extremely horrific." The third person continued.

"The government hasn't figured out what's going on, so we don't know what's going on! If it continues like this, people will be in panic!" said the fourth person worriedly.

……

Gu Qian and Luo Yunchen looked at each other, then tacitly walked into the teahouse and sat down beside them, listening to their continued conversation.

"Do you think it could be an evil spirit?" someone speculated.

"That's impossible!" someone objected.

"Then what do you think was the reason? I heard that the way those people died was not something that humans could do!"

"No matter what the reason is, people in that area don't dare to go out at night now." Someone said with a sigh.

"That's right. My child heard about this from somewhere and has had nightmares every night and keeps crying."

"Hey, I hope the government can find out the truth as soon as possible and give everyone peace."

"Hey, I know some inside information. I'll tell you in a low voice, but you mustn't tell anyone else!" Another person heard them talking about this and joined in.

After hearing this, the other people opened their eyes wide in surprise and said, "Is this true or not? Tell us now! We will never tell anyone else."

"My brother who works in the government office told me that the coroners found out that the deaths were all suicides."

"What! Are you sure? You want to kill yourself in such a painful way, you cruel man!"

"I didn't believe it at first. You said that if they committed suicide, it would just be a matter of slitting their throats. Why would they make themselves so horrible and torture themselves before dying? But what my brother told me was absolutely true, because the marks on their bodies were all made by themselves before they died, not by others. This is the most terrifying thing to think about."

"This... the government won't believe it either!"

"Of course I don't believe it. Otherwise, the results would have been announced long ago. Why would we let everyone guess and make people panic? But several coroners examined several bodies and the results were all the same. Without exception, they were all suicides."

"It's been examined, it should be suicide, it's impossible that the coroner made a mistake."

"I don't know. My brother couldn't explain it clearly either. He only said that after the coroner finished the autopsy, everyone looked very solemn."

"Could it be that these people have some unspeakable secrets, or are they being threatened by someone?"

"I don't know! Look, our newly appointed Dali Temple Shaoqing has been sent here to try this case."

"But I haven't heard that any officials are coming here?"

"On the way. The prefect has received the news a long time ago. It should be within the next two days."

"I hope this Dali Temple Shaoqing is really capable and can find out the truth as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, we ordinary people will always feel uneasy, fearing that we will encounter an accident one day."

"Yes, this is indeed a very strange and confusing matter. We should be careful, try not to go out as much as possible, and lock the door tightly when we go to bed at night."

"Well, that's all we can do. Alas, these are troubled times!"

After listening to their discussion, Gu Qian and Luo Yunchen felt curious.

"Qianqian, what do you think about this matter?" Luo Yunchen asked softly.

"I'm afraid that someone who wants to die would not choose to commit suicide in such a cruel way. This way of dying... I remember reading about a similar situation in a medical book."
