Surrounded by a number of people at the moment.

Not far away, the Gu Family’s carriage was parked.

The Gu Family steward in charge of welcoming people stood next to Wei Lao with a bitter smile. “Wei Lao, the old master and the others are still waiting at the mansion. The injured have already been taken care of. Shall we proceed on the road?”

Wei Yuantong frowned unhappily. “The person was hit by your carriage. Now that the condition of the injured is uncertain, do you intend to flee to avoid responsibility?”

He was quite fat, resembling a Maitreya Buddha, especially his round face, full of flesh. His eyes were squeezed into narrow slits, and when he glared at someone, cold light shot out from his long and narrow eyes. Despite his pleasant appearance, the Gu Family steward was startled and quickly waved his hand. “Of course not, of course not! We will definitely take full responsibility. The old master and the others are waiting for you. How about we send you to the Gu Family first, and I’ll stay here to watch?”

“There’s no rush for me to leave. If you’re concerned that Old Man Gu might get anxious, you can send someone back to let them know not to wait for me.”

Seeing that his decision was final, the Gu Family steward could only stand by with a troubled expression.

Wei Yuantong shifted his gaze to the young boy in the middle, not concealing his admiration.

“Excellent!”

At such a young age, he had such skills, steady and precise hands, very proficient. Even many students in the academy couldn’t compare to him. Whose child was this? What a promising talent!

Such a promising talent, it would be a great pity if he didn’t receive the best cultivation!

As soon as Wei Yuantong shouted “excellent,” others also applauded and cheered.

The injured man had been kicked by a horse, his belly was torn open, blood splattered, and it looked horrifying. Many people doubted whether he could survive.

But with just a few moments of effort, the wound was bandaged, and the bleeding stopped. The man no longer cried out in pain.

This kind of treatment was both rapid and effective.

The elderly man who got kicked by the horse had a deeply wrinkled face, which now appeared much paler than before. However, he was in better condition than earlier, and he wasn’t as agonized. He struggled to get up and thanked the young boy who had saved him.

Gu Xiaonan quickly held him back. “Grandpa, don’t move. You got to be careful that the wound might reopen.”

“Little divine doctor, thank you so much. This old man’s life was saved by you. If it weren’t for you, this old man wouldn’t have suffered. What’s your name? Where do you live? When this old man can move, 1’11 come to visit and express my gratitude.”

The old man grabbed his small hand gratefully and said.

Gu Xiaonan waved his free hand. “Grandpa, there’s no need to worry about it. Saving lives and healing the wounded is a doctor’s duty, and what I did was just a small effort, nothing to boast about.”

Wei Yuantong nodded in agreement.

Yes, yes, not only is his medical skill outstanding, but he also has a sense of benevolence and righteousness. He doesn’t seek to repay kindness, and at such a young age, he has a righteous character.

The more he looked, the more he liked it. He wished he could turn back immediately.

Meanwhile, after instructing the old man on some precautions, Gu Xiaonan stood up, surveyed the surroundings, and then made eye contact with Wei Yuantong.

Wei Yuantong, upon seeing the situation, felt a surge of energy and straightened his chest. However, his big belly became even more prominent, and through the thin clothing, one could faintly sense the round belly trembling.

He didn’t pay any attention to this, and with a grin on his face, he was about to speak to Gu Xiaonan.

But before he could say anything, he saw the other party’s small, stern face and heard him saying in a harsh tone, “Compensation!”

“Huh?” Wei Yuantong felt the hostility coming from the other side and was momentarily stunned.

Gu Xiaonan frowned lightly and glared at him. “Don’t tell me you intend to dodge responsibility? Your carriage injured someone. Shouldn’t you compensate for the medical fees, medication costs, and lost wages? Shouldn’t you?”

Wei Yuantong suddenly realized, “Of course, compensation is necessary. So, how much do you think is appropriate?”

Seeing that he seemed to be willing to take responsibility and not trying to evade it, Gu Xiaonan’s angry expression softened slightly.

“One thousand taels of silver.”

“Where did one thousand taels come from? Isn’t that extortion?” the Gu Family steward muttered.

Gu Xiaonan glanced at him, recognizing him as the Gu Family’s steward. He looked back at Wei Yuantong and immediately adjusted his statement, “Ten thousand taels!”

“Gasp! Why are you asking for more?” The Gu Family steward’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Gu Xiaonan counted on his fair, delicate fingers. “I just mentioned the losses suffered by the old man. Apart from him, there are others who suffered losses. The uncles and aunties who were running stalls had their businesses affected because you caused this accident. And my mother and I also had our time wasted because of you. Ten thousand taels is already a small sum. Are you going to compensate or not? If you don’t, we’ll report this to the authorities! Riding a horse recklessly and injuring people in broad daylight, the officials won’t turn a blind eye to it.”

Absurd!

How much money could those stall owners possibly lose?

And as for you and your mother, you could have stayed out of it!

Why should you lay all these expenses on them?

The little boy was clearly taking advantage of the situation!
