Feng Wu had been living in Northern Border City for five years.
During these five years, she never gave up on herself like the people in the imperial capital assud she would. On the contrary, the cheerful and lively Feng Wu connected with the local people and got along very well with them. She was well-known to the locals.
After removing her disguise and walking out of that alley, she was greeted by everyone she t on her way.
“Miss Feng Wu, here, here.” An old female vegetable vendor in her sixties beckoned at Feng Wu.
“Grandma Zhang, how can I help you?” Feng Wu went up to the old lady with a grin. “The weather’s been getting cold lately. Is your arthritis acting up again? If so, co to my house and I’ll write you a prescription for it.”
Grandma Zhang couldn’t stop smiling. She turned to a middle-aged man next to her and sang Feng Wu’s praises. “Not only is Miss Feng such a pretty young lady, she has the kindest heart. I was bedridden last ti from my arthritis and thought I would never be able to walk again. Miss Feng prescribed so herbal dicines and I was back on my feet!”
“You don’t say!” the middle-aged man chid in. “My boy tripped and fell last ti. He was throwing up, he had palpitations, and he kept twitching. The doctors couldn’t do anything about it. They even told to start preparing his funeral. It almost gave a heart attack! My neighbors all told to go find Miss Feng.”
Feng Wu chuckled awkwardly. She wanted to leave, but Grandma Zhang wouldn’t let go of her hands.
Please set her free. She wanted to go back ho and refine that Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill! Ah —
The middle-aged man was still talking in great excitent. “So, I picked up Puppy, my boy, and took him to the Feng family manor. Miss Feng stuck a few silver needles in him and he was alive! She’s such an amazing doctor! I bet she used to be an immortal once!”
Feng Wu was embarrassed by the middle-aged man’s exaggeration and waved her hands in a hurry. “Uncle Zhao, it really wasn’t that big a deal. I only did what I could to help. I was glad to help.”
Uncle Zhao said, “But it was a very big deal to ! You’ve saved my entire family! Miss Feng, this elk leg is still fresh. Please take it.”
Feng Wu tried to decline the offer. “Uncle Zhao, I really shouldn’t —”
“Of course you should! Miss Feng, you’re saying that because you don’t have anything to carry it with, right? There, I have a clean wicker basket here. I’ll put the leg in and you can carry it over your shoulders. Your brother will love it.”
“Miss Feng, this is Snow Golden-Eye Beast breast at. Make so jerky with it. It’ll be perfect for Young Master Feng to snack on.”
“Miss Feng, here are so Green Orchid Cabbages, they’re just so seasonal greens. Please take so to make an extra dish for the young master’s dinner.”
Feng Wu smacked her forehead. Had everyone already learnt what a glutton Feng Xiaoqi was?
She wanted to turn them down, but the local people were simply too enthusiastic. Led by Grandma Zhang and Uncle Zhao, they kept stuffing more food into that wicker basket. Before long, it was filled to the brim.
Feng Wu was speechless.
“Alright, thank you so much for all your kindness. Please go back to your business, I’m off —” Feng Wu waved at them.
Just then —
“One mont, please. Wait —” A teenage girl hurried toward Feng Wu with a blue and white porcelain bowl in her hands.
“Lin Ling?” Feng Wu recognized the girl, who was her age. “Do you need help at your wonton stall?”
Lin Ling wasn’t particularly pretty, but she had the brightest smile, which was very appealing.
