Demon Hairpin II: My wayward Ex-wife

Chapter 27

"Wu Gang?"
"Inside.'
Mu Huanqing immediately strode towards one of
the rooms. Once inside, the scent of blood became
very strong.
She saw the injured Wu Gang lying on the wooden
bed. His face was pale with a deep stab wound in
his abdomen. It was a serious injury and Mu
Huanging's face darkened.
The group of thieves not only stole her horses but
also injured her people. This debt must be
recovered. As for how, she would take her time
thinking about it.
She turned her head to look at the doctor.
"No
matter the cost, even if it's 10,000 gold, you must
heal him."
Doctor Wu heard that the master of this stable had
heroism up to the clouds and placed heavy
importance on loyalty. Not only did she value talent
but she also did not care about status.

This Wu Gang was not a Han person but a
foreigner from the other side of Kunlun Mountain.
He was tall and had a dark complexion with a
square face and thick lips. His appearance was very
different compared to people from the Central
Plains. Therefore, he had always been rejected by
the Han. This master happened to pass by when he
was gravely injured by someone in the past and
saved him.
Doctor Wu had heard about this stable's Master
from other doctors but didn't expect her to live up
to the rumours. She actually wanted to save a
Kunlun slave's life no matter the cost. As a doctor,
someone who believed in saving everyone, he
couldn't help but admire her.
"Understood. This humble one will do his best to
treat it." Doctor Wu cautiously said. It wasn't
difficult to save Wu Gang but the medicine needed
was expensive. A slave's life was not valuable,
Kunlun slaves were even more disliked by normal
people. No one would even mention buying rare,
hard to get medicinal materials.
But these people were carefully selected by Mu
Huanqing. In other people's eyes, they might be
nothing but in her eyes, they were talents.
For example, in spite of his appearance, Wu Gang
was a hard worker and was the type who knew how
to be grateful. If others treated him well he would
repay them ten times over.

Today Wu Gang was injured. Naturally, she had to
save him. Money can be earnt again but there was
only one Wu Gang.
With no time to lose, Mu Huanging entrusted Wu
Gang to Doctor Wu's care and immediately
gathered her other subordinates to the meeting
room. She spread out the map and studied the
location of the robbery.
Among the several stallions they were transporting,
there was a prized steed. As soon as the deal was
done, the horses were stolen halfway to their
destination. She suspected that it was an inside job. (+
After secretly discussing it with Hao Qi and her
subordinates, they had a plan. She gathered fifteen
comrades who were all good at riding and shooting.
Under Mu Huanging's orders, they all spurred
their horses and dashed off.
Of course, He Guan continued to follow along but
at this moment, Dou Dou tugged on him.
"Uncle, I'm hungry."
He Guan stopped and looked at Dou Dou. He
almost forgot that this little thing was human.
Demons received their vital energy from the
essence of the sun and moon, heaven and earth,
and all living things. Once they ate enough, they
wouldn't need to eat again for a month. But
humans needed to eat three meals a day, every day.

Mu Huanging's group had already set off so He
Guan said one sentence. "Endure it, eat later.
"But I'm hungry." She rubbed her stomach with a
miserable expression on her face. Her big watery
eyes revealed her innocence like she couldn't
endure having a hungry stomach and was about to
cry.
When He Guan saw this, his eyelids twitched. He
impatiently wanted to chase after Mu Huanqing
but he couldn't ignore the little thing. Seeing the
suffering on her face, his mood was also affected.
"Tsk. Annoying!"
Although he said that, he still rushed towards the
meal room. The earthen stove in the room just so
happened to have two freshly baked flatbread. He
swept them away with his black mist.
The cook was occupied with a bowl of soup and was
prepared to get the flatbread when he saw the
empty plate. He recovered and began to yell.
"Sh-t! Which bastard stole my flatbread?!"
He Guan took the flatbread out and stuffed it into
Dou Dou's hand. "Here, eat it!"
Dou Dou was very hungry. She was suddenly given
a big flatbread and began to eat. But the bread was
hard to swallow without porridge or soup so she
once again tugged on He Guan.
