The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands

Chapter 25

After standing by the bed, Lin Zaozao looked into Gu Shan's puzzled eyes early and said, "Gu Shan, I'm going into town in a while. Is there anything you need me to buy for you?"

"No. Lin Zaozao, the town is very far from here. With your two legs, you won't be able to walk back before it gets dark."

"I know. But I heard from the villagers a few days ago that there are ox carts that come to the village entrance every day to take people into town. I'll take an ox cart to go later."

"Okay! Be careful on the way. Remember, it's different outside than at home. You need to be extra careful and not speak recklessly to others."

After speaking, Gu Shan felt around his own bed and grabbed a handful of copper coins from inside and handed them to her.

"Lin Zaozao, you need money to take the ox cart. Take this money and use it on the road."

Looking at the copper coins Gu Shan had handed to her, Lin Zaozao quickly counted about twenty or so. These twenty-odd copper coins were probably Gu Shan's entire fortune!

Yet he had handed over all the money he had to her. From the outside, although Gu Shan was a cold person, in the short two days she had interacted with him, she discovered that of her five husbands, Gu Shan was actually the one who treated her the best.

Such a good person, she must make sure he recovers to full health and becomes normal again.

Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao poked Gu Shan's shoulder with her finger and said, "Gu Shan, can I look at your palm?"

Gu Shan didn't say anything, just handed his somewhat emaciated hand over to Lin Zaozao's plump hand.

In order not to let Gu Shan down for his kindness to her, Lin Zaozao grinned foolishly at Gu Shan, then secretly transferred his illness away while he wasn't looking.

In just a short while, under Gu Shan's flickering gaze, Lin Zaozao gently let go of Gu Shan's hand.

But in order to conceal her special abilities, when Lin Zaozao let go of Gu Shan's hand, she deliberately stroked his hand back in a flirtatious manner.

Being regarded as a flirtatious woman by Gu Shan was better than him discovering the system within her. It was best that no one find out about the system.

Otherwise, it would be endless trouble for her.

"Lin Zaozao, what have you divined this time?"

"I divined that you will definitely rise to high office, make a great fortune, have good health, and everything will go as you wish."

Acting silly and confused as she smiled at Gu Shan, Lin Zaozao hurriedly walked out the door. She had to leave! Because Gu Shan's sharp, suspicious eyes were making her almost reveal her true self.

Gu Shan was no paralytic. He was clearly a sly person!

When Gu Shan saw the closed door, he raised his hand and closed his eyes to carefully feel his body.

Indeed, his previous feeling was not wrong. This silly woman Lin Zaozao really could treat the poison in his body through physical contact.

But in the world, the most powerful doctors besides Ji Fantian were only his secluded master, Yin Xue.

Yet they had never heard that Yin Xue's medical skills could treat someone's poison just by touching them. Nor had they heard that Yin Xue had ever accepted any disciples!

It seemed there were still many secrets unknown about Lin Zaozao. And only he could uncover them.

Gu Shan gently tapped the simple bed board. The next second, a shadow blending into the darkness appeared at his bedside.

"Follow her, don't let any harm come to her."

As soon as Gu Shan's words fell, the shadow disappeared without a trace.

In the other rooms of the courtyard, when they heard the movement in the courtyard, there were slight sounds in their rooms.

But after a moment, everything returned to silence.

It was still early before dawn!

When Lin Zaozao groped her way in the dark and finally arrived at the village entrance, in the ox cart at the entrance, several young men were already sitting.

When Uncle Zhang, who was driving the ox cart, and those several young men saw the fat Lin Zaozao, they all had a flash of confusion in their eyes.

In the Canglan Nation, because women were so scarce, when a woman went out, her husband had to accompany her. But looking at Lin Zaozao, there wasn't even a shadow behind her.

But when their eyes swept over the large ugly black mark on Lin Zaozao's face and her body as fat as a small mountain, they understood. A woman like this, robbers would not have designs on at all.

Because even if they wanted to kidnap her, they would have to expend more effort moving her. Just transporting her would require more manpower than others.

Not worth it.

"Uncle Zhang, can I take your ox cart to town?"

The panting Lin Zaozao looked at the somewhat hunched old man taking puffs from a long tobacco pipe and politely asked.

"Girl, you can. But you'll have to pay."

"Uncle Zhang, how much? I'll pay you now."

"Four copper coins round trip. But you're too fat, taking up too much space. Have to add two more coins."

"No problem."

Lin Zaozao laughed as she briskly took out six copper coins from her money pouch and handed them to Uncle Zhang. After all, with her huge size, she was taking up two people's space.

It was only right that he charged her two more coins. After all, Uncle Zhang made his living driving this ox cart.

After taking the copper coins from Lin Zaozao, Uncle Zhang took another puff from his pipe, tapped it out on his shoe sole after feeling it was spent, then helped Lin Zaozao onto the ox cart.

"Girl, though it's good for a girl to be plump. But your body is too fat, it will affect your health. Look, just walking from your home to the village entrance this short distance, you're drenched in sweat already."

After speaking, Uncle Zhang pulled up the blanket on the ox cart and covered Lin Zaozao's knees while muttering.

"Uncle Zhang, my fatness is an illness. When my illness gets better, I'll get thin. When I become thin, I'll definitely become pretty."

"Girl, you're not ugly now."

"Hee hee! Uncle Zhang, you really know how to flatter. Just look at this huge black mark on my face, how could I not be ugly. But Uncle Zhang, I still feel great that you compliment me as pretty."

"As long as you're happy. Girl, for your health, you must take your medicine properly!"

"I will, Uncle Zhang."

Looking at the nagging old man before her warmed Lin Zaozao's heart.

Because a stranger's concern for no reason always touched people the most.
