In reality, Gu Nuo’er slept very soundly.
In her dream, she arrived at a scene that looked like an ink painting.
Grandpa Heavenly Dao was still fishing alone.
When the fishing line fell into the water, there were no ripples at all. It was so quiet that it was as if nothing had changed.
The old man looked back and saw Gu Nuo’er with her small hands behind her back.
She looked like she had done something wrong.
“Grandpa Heavenly Dao, I’m sorry. I let that bad snake hurt mortals and I am cleaning up the mess now.”
However, the old master only stroked his beard and smiled. “Child, you didn’t do anything wrong. This is the order of fate.”
“Order?”
Gu Nuo’er was puzzled.
She originally wanted to treat the flood, but she discovered the shadow of a snake that was creating trouble in the water.
The poison that it left behind after she had beaten the snake away harmed the commoners who lived by the water downstream.
This was what caused the epidemic.
However, Grandpa Heavenly Dao had no intention of blaming her.
He smiled. “You’ve already saved countless lives.”
Gu Nuo’er blinked. “When?”
Old Master Heavenly Dao smiled but did not say anything.
Gu Nuo’er knew her mission for descending into the world.
It was for her to stop her father from killing the innocent.
Could this be saving people’s lives?
The child tilted her head and thought hard.
At this moment, Grandpa Heavenly Dao smiled and said, “Good child, go back. After a while, you’ll go to a place you’ve never been to before. There, you’ll understand what I meant just now.”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her black eyes. “Where is it?!”
However, Grandpa Heavenly Dao did not answer.
He waved his fishing rod and the child slowly woke up. She happened to hear an urgent knock on the door. “Marquis, bad news! Many people died!”
Gu Nuo’er woke up in shock and sat up from the bed.
Ye Siming was originally sitting on the footrest with his clothes on and was taking a nap.
When he heard this, he immediately stood up with his sword.
He didn’t forget to turn around and stroke Gu Nuo’er’s hair.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll go take a look. If you’re coming, put on your clothes and don’t catch a cold.”
After saying that, he hurriedly opened the door and left.
Gu Nuo’er blinked and was about to lift the blanket and get off the bed.
However, a figure moved on the bamboo couch at the side. She turned around and was surprised. “Monk older brother?”
Kongjue sat on the bamboo couch for the entire night.
He didn’t sleep much, afraid that Ye Siming would climb into bed and lie beside his sister.
However, he was on guard and realized that the youth had only put on his clothes and sat motionless for the entire night.
At this moment, Kongjue, with his dark eye circles, had also heard the official’s hurried report.
He stood up and patted his kasaya. “Sister, I’ll go take a look as well. Don’t be anxious.”
Before he left, he instructed, “Remember to cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief.’
Kongjue also went out.
Gu Nuo’er quickly put on her clothes.
When she pushed open the door and left, she realized that the sky was just starting to brighten.
However, the sky was dim yellow and there was even a small drizzle.
She was the one who had summoned the rain. It would probably only stop completely tonight.
The cold wind blew in front, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.
Gu Nuo’er wrapped her fox fur coat tightly around her and quickly walked towards the noisy place.
When she arrived nearby, it was chaotic.
Some were crying and calling for their mothers, while others screamed and fainted.
The village, which had finally been in order, returned to a state of chaos overnight.
Ye Siming stood at the side with a cold expression. Someone was holding an umbrella for him and he was listening to Censor Zhang’s report.
“Now, not a single doctor is here. The situation isn’t looking good. These people who have gotten sick can’t afford to wait anymore!”
Ye Siming called Qin Song over.. “Take my token and go to the city to call for a doctor!”
