Chapter 444

After seeing Erzhuzi’s performance, the young man felt a bit suspicious.

However, he did not want to simply agree to it.

"That guy previously ordered that this packet of powder be thrown into this well."

"But if Erzhuzi is nearby, it’s really hard for me to operate."

"If I slip up and get discovered, then my mother and I won't be able to stay here anymore."

Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head, then turned to Erzhuzi with a look of worry.

"You should do it. My family doesn't need much water right now, and since you're not feeling well, you should draw your water and head back early."

"Otherwise, it will delay your recovery."

As he spoke, he looked at Erzhuzi with a smile.

Just as Erzhuzi was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that other people were gathering toward them.

They were also carrying quite a few buckets, clearly here to fetch water.

And there were quite a few of them.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, swallowed the words he had intended to use to decline, and spoke reluctantly.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go first."

As Erzhuzi spoke, he picked up the bucket beside him and walked forward with steady steps.

At the same time, he tied the rope from the well to the top of his bucket and slowly lowered it down.

"Phew~"

"Good thing Erzhuzi didn't keep arguing with me about it."

"Otherwise, I might not have had a chance today."

Seeing Erzhuzi's actions, the young man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, he noticed the people around him and thought to himself.

"I still need to hurry, otherwise, once those people get close, I definitely won't have a chance today."

Thinking of this, the young man's psychological pressure increased significantly.

However, just as he was distracted, he suddenly heard Erzhuzi cry out beside him.

"Ah!"

Then the wooden bucket dropped rapidly and fell back into the well.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing Erzhuzi's cry, the young man reacted immediately.

He turned around and glanced at Erzhuzi.

At the same time, the ordinary villagers who had been slowly approaching also noticed the scene.

They also sped up, wanting to come over and see what was happening.

At this moment, the young man was surprised to find that the other man's arm was trembling slightly.

It was as if he were enduring some kind of pain.

"Hiss~"

After Erzhuzi took a sharp breath, he endured the pain, frowned, and explained.

"I think my previous injury affected my hand, and when I tried to draw water, this problem happened."

Speaking of this, Erzhuzi couldn't help but stare, then continued.

"But it shouldn't be a big problem; it'll get better if I rest."

As he spoke, he looked at the young man with a bitter smile.

However, his trembling hand was slowly putting away a small piece of oil paper.

For a moment, even the young man beside him didn't notice this detail.

Instead, he said with some concern.

"How about this, I'll help you deliver this bucket of water."

"You should find a chance to go back and rest, or see a physician."

"Otherwise, if you really end up with a serious injury, it might not be so easy to treat later."

After hearing what the young man said, Erzhuzi nodded immediately and didn't decline further.

Instead, he looked at the young man with gratitude.

"Alright, Er Gouzi, then I'll trouble you with this. I'll treat you to a drink when I have the chance."

After saying this, he nodded at him and then retreated quite decisively.

498. Long Nights Bring Many Dreams

Seeing Erzhuzi's performance, the young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"He's finally gone. Now I must seize the opportunity, otherwise, long nights bring many dreams."

Thinking this, the young man raised one of his hands, which held the oil paper packet.

"But then again."

"Erzhuzi's injury seems quite serious. I must help him find a better physician later."

"I can't let him ruin himself over some small matter."

Seeing the oil paper packet, he was reminded of that other piece of gold, and he thought to himself.

However, he quickly composed himself and hurriedly began to draw water.

Because he noticed that the people nearby were approaching and were almost right next to him.

If he didn't act now, he wouldn't have another chance.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly opened the oil paper packet in his hand.

Then, he prepared to use the motion of drawing water to pour the powder from the packet into the well.

But just as he was about to act, suddenly, the hand holding the oil paper packet was grabbed by someone.

In an instant, a feeling of extreme fear surged from the bottom of his heart.

"Am... am I caught?"

His body trembled slightly.

But in the end, he widened his eyes and looked at the owner of the hand beside him.

"What are you preparing to do?"

Wu Mian, while grabbing the man's hand, wore a faint smile and asked.

After receiving Ying Mo's orders, he had been handling the more serious areas of unrest, and this small town was one of them.

Quite coincidentally, just as he was observing the crowd in this town, preparing to search for some hidden clues, he discovered this young man at the well.

His movements were unnatural, as if he were acting stiffly.

He was preparing to do something.

Subconsciously, Wu Mian felt that this might be an important matter.

This aroused his curiosity, so he grabbed the man just as he was about to act.

And after he controlled the man, seeing the terrified expression on his face, he was even more certain of his guess.

Then, he took the initiative to ask.

At this moment, noticing the appearance of Wu Mian, the young man's already tense and fragile heart collapsed instantly.

Because he fearfully discovered that the feeling Wu Mian gave him was even stronger than that of the strangely dressed guy from before.

Suddenly, he felt that he was done for.

In an instant, his heart collapsed.

"My lord, spare my life."

The next moment, he cried out.

Looking at the strangely behaving young man, Wu Mian couldn't help but frown.

Seeing the strange looks from the ordinary villagers nearby, he quickly re-wrapped the oil paper packet in the young man's hand.

The next moment, he burst into tears and cries.

Looking at the young man before him, who was behaving very strangely.

Wu Mian could not help but frown.

Seeing the strange looks cast by the ordinary people nearby, he quickly re-wrapped the oil-paper package that the young man was holding.
