Chapter 435: Chapter 410, Hit by a Sap_1
“Granny!”
When the old granny fell, Daohua immediately cried out in alarm.
“Master, come quickly, Granny has fainted!”
Hearing Daohua’s cry, Gu Jian snapped out of his shock and swiftly turned around to run towards the old granny.
Opposite them, the fifth master saw the old granny’s pale face and her labored breathing and was also frantic with anxiety. He tried to rise and investigate, but the ropes binding him were too tight to allow any movement. Just as he was about to reprimand, a handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth.
Suffering the same fate were three others along with Public Official An.
“Mmm-Mmm!”
Seeing the fifth master’s bulging, fierce eyes glaring at him, Yan Wenkai felt a chill on his back and said to Yan Wentao, “These gold thieves are quite vicious. Just look at those eyes, they’re like knives. When the Little Prince comes to take them away, we must insist he deals with them harshly to prevent any retaliation against us.”
Watching the fifth master’s furious demeanor, the four men with Public Official An all silently mourned for the naivety of the two young men from the Yan Family.
“Let’s go, let’s see how the old granny is doing.”
Saying so, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao quickly ran toward Daohua.
At this moment, Gu Jian was rapidly administering acupuncture to the old granny. Daohua was kneeling by her side, her face filled with self-reproach and eyes red-rimmed with tears, “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have insisted that Granny watch those thieves. She must have been scared by them.”
Listening to his disciple’s tearful voice, Gu Jian knew she was frightened by her sister’s condition, but at the moment he could spare no time to console her and only said, “Hurry, go to the mountain and fetch the medicine pills that Sister usually takes.”
“Oh, right!”
Daohua nodded repeatedly, getting to her feet in a scramble and then hurried towards the estate’s main gate, lifting her skirt as she ran.
“Maybe I and third brother should go, we can move faster,” Yan Wenkai shouted.
“You don’t know which medicine Granny takes.”
As the words were still echoing in the air, she had already vanished from sight.
Yan Wenkai clicked his tongue, “Our big sister can really run faster and faster.”
Behind them, Wu Jingyi and Wei Qi exchanged glances, both privately thinking that the young girl must have learned some special steps; subsequently, they looked at Gu Jian with even more wariness.
In such a rural place, there were masters that even they were wary of.
Over here, Public Official An and Yang Chenghua noticed something off about the fifth master.
No doubt the fifth master was angry; they understood that anyone with a mouth stuffed with a handkerchief would be infuriated.
But what was with the fifth master’s bulging veins and anxious face?
Following the fifth master’s gaze, they both looked towards where Gu Jian was administering aid, their minds suddenly brimming with thought.
As the person in charge of attending to the fifth master’s every need, Public Official An knew his affairs very well. After closely observing Gu Jian’s swift and steady acupuncture, an amorphous figure emerged in his mind, and in an instant, his heart began to pound furiously.
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao were also intently watching as Gu Jian administered the needles.
“I never expected Master Gu to have such an impressive skill. Once our big sister learns it, we need not fear headaches and fevers in our household anymore,” one said.
“This kind of skill is not something that can be learned without decades of practice.”
The courtyard was somewhat quiet.
When Daohua and the others got here, they had sent away the people in the courtyard.
Aside from the five masters, who were gagged, only Yan Wenkai and the others remained.
At this moment, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao were focused on the old granny and Gu Jian. Wang Manman and Xiaoliu were gathered together, speaking in hushed tones, occasionally glancing at the five gold thieves thrown on the ground.
No one noticed the figures that had appeared on the roof.
