Chapter 67 Why Are You So Nervous? When Gu Chan and the other three arrived outside Kaiyuan Pharmacy, the news of the Diyue Kingdom cavalry attacking the border had already spread in the county. For a time, people were in panic and all shop owners closed their doors. The originally bustling market night market became extremely quiet. "Bang bang bang!" Gu Chan walked to the outside of the drugstore and knocked on the door three times. The door opened a crack, and Zhou Dachuan looked out with one eye. He saw Gu Chan and the other three standing outside. He quickly opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?" "Our Jiuyang Village was captured by the enemy, so we had no choice but to flee to the county town." Gu Chan said calmly. "Come in first." Zhou Dachuan hurriedly invited the four people in and quickly closed the door. Inside the shop. After the five people sat down, Gu Chan said directly, "Manager Zhou, I won't waste my words. The four of us will stay at your place for a few days. When the things I'm waiting for arrive, we will move out." "What are you waiting for?" Zhou Dachuan asked.
Yesterday, Gu Chan kept saying that she was waiting for the county magistrate to send her something, but she didn't say what it was. Now Zhou Dachuan is very curious. Gu Chan deliberately kept it a secret, "Don't ask, you'll know in two days." "Hey! You're always like this. Why are you being so mysterious?" "Manager Zhou, let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about our future plans!" Gu Chan changed the subject. Zhou Dachuan fell silent, his face looking somewhat ugly. Now the Diyue Kingdom has invaded the border of the Tiancang Kingdom and occupied the large forest that originally belonged to the Tiancang Kingdom. Tiancang Kingdom will definitely go to war with the Diyue Kingdom. Once a war breaks out, there are only two possible outcomes. First, Tiancang Kingdom wins, drives Diyue Kingdom back, and takes back the lost border territory. Second, the Diyue Kingdom won and conquered the entire Wuheng County with an unstoppable force. If it is the first result, everyone at the border will be happy, but if it is the second result, I am afraid that everyone at the border will have to face a painful life. Therefore, Gu Chan's question just now was like a shot in the arm, which pierced Zhou Dachuan's heart and made him feel worried. Zhang Wanshan sighed and said, "For now, we can only hope that the 50,000 troops stationed on the border of Tiancang Nation can drive the Diyue Nation back." "Yes! We have no choice. No matter what, we have to live our lives well first." Zhou Dachuan followed suit. Gu Chan rolled her eyes and a sly smile appeared on her face. In her opinion, if the two countries really fight, there will probably be no good result for Tiancang Country. Because the Diyue Kingdom dared to send cavalry to attack the border so openly, it proved that they had been prepared for a long time. On the other hand, the Tiancang Kingdom seemed to be unprepared at all. From this, we can see which side is stronger and which is weaker. As for matters like war, she was just a woman and a child at that, so it was really inconvenient for her to get involved.
After all, she is of low status and her words carry little weight. Even if she said so, the county magistrate, Mr. Wang, and the 50,000 garrison commanders on the border would probably not listen to her. "Then let's wait and see the show!" Thinking of the last sentence, Gu Chan couldn't help but say to herself in her heart. Zhou Dachuan naturally had no idea what she was thinking, and he didn't want to worry any more, so he immediately told the waiter in the store, "Go upstairs and clean up two guest rooms for the four of them to stay in for the time being." "Yes, boss." The waiter responded respectfully and quickly went upstairs to pack up. Zhou Dachuan went to bring some snacks and placed them in front of Gu Chan and the other three. "Just have some snacks. I'll bring you food tomorrow." "Thank you, Manager Zhou." Gu Chan clasped his fists to express his gratitude. Zhou Dachuan waved his hand indifferently. The four of them calmed down and ate some snacks to fill their stomachs. After they had eaten, the room upstairs was cleaned up and the waiter came down and took Gu Chan and the other three upstairs to their rooms to rest. Gu Chan and her grandfather slept in one room, and Ma Zheng and her grandmother slept in another room. Since there was only one bed in the room, Gu Chan had to sleep with her grandfather that night. Zhang Wanshan fell onto the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep with a snoring sound. In contrast, Gu Chan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Ever since she came here, she had always slept alone, and suddenly sleeping with someone else made her feel very uncomfortable. It was not until the second half of the night that Gu Chan fell into a sleepy sleep out of exhaustion. The next day it was just dawn. "Bang bang bang..." When Gu Chan and her grandfather were still sleeping soundly in bed, there was a sudden banging sound outside the door. The two were awakened. Zhang Wanshan complained and then got up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Zhou Dachuan rushed in excitedly, put his hands on Zhang Wanshan's shoulders and said, "Amazing! Your grandson is really amazing! I admire her so much!" "Ah? Are you crazy? You're talking nonsense so early in the morning, like you're full of energy?" Zhang Wanshan looked confused. Zhou Dachuan quickly withdrew his hand, took out a land deed from his sleeve, and slapped it into Zhang Wanshan's hand, "Take a look." Zhang Wanshan took the deed and spread it out for a closer look. His eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Oh my God! This...isn't this the deed to the most famous Chunfeng Building in the county? Why is Gu Chan's name written on it?" "Yes! The county magistrate just sent a soldier named Xu Qing to deliver it. Xu Qing said that the county magistrate gave Chunfeng Tower to your grandson." Zhang Wanshan held the land deed in his hand and looked back stupidly at Gu Chan, who was still slumped on the bed and hadn't woken up yet. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning and stood there like a piece of wood, unable to move. Gu Chan rubbed her eyes with her hands, stretched, and asked nonchalantly, "Why, is this Chunfeng Tower famous?" "Oh my God! You don't even know Chunfeng Tower?" Zhou Dachuan's face was full of surprise. Gu Chan spread her hands speechlessly. Yesterday, Ding Sheng only said that he would give her a three-story building, but he didn't say what the building was called. He just reminded her that the building used to belong to Mr. Wang, and he gave it to him to shut him up. He was just giving it to her as a favor. So she didn't care much. Who would have thought that when the land deed was delivered today, Zhou Dachuan and Zhang Wanshan would be so surprised.
At this time, Zhang Wanshan came back to his senses, rushed to the bedside and sat down, staring at Gu Chan and asking, "Grandson! What did you do yesterday to make the county magistrate give you such a building?" "Building? Didn't he say it was just a three-story building? Oh! Isn't it just a shabby building? Why are you so nervous?" Gu Chan wondered. "Get up quickly, we'll take you over to see it." Zhang Wanshan was extremely anxious. If it was the county magistrate who was seeing him off, he might not have been so panicked, but the key point was that he was seeing him off to Chunfeng Tower! This is the most famous building in the entire Wuheng County, and not everyone can afford it. How does Gu Chan know so much? Seeing how nervous the two were, she said no more, got out of bed immediately, dressed properly, followed them out of the pharmacy, and rushed to see the Chunfeng Tower. Ma Zheng and Ding Meihua in the next room were also alarmed, and they followed the three of them out of the pharmacy. (End of this chapter)
