Chapter 299. Drinking Water
This time, the men in black came with overwhelming force, a level far superior to the previous ones. Gu Kaiyuan had already used all his strength, yet he had only managed to injure three people. As the number of men increased, Gu Kaiyuan slightly revealed a weakness and let several men in black pass before heading towards the Gu family.

How do the Gu family members feel right now?
Of course, they were both shocked and frightened. Everything was fine just a moment ago, but in an instant, everyone felt unbearably thirsty, and even had the feeling that they would die of thirst if they didn't drink water.

The snow did alleviate their current symptoms, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to satisfy them; they just wanted to eat more.

Of course, they were also afraid of dying. They had been watching the fight in the courtyard and noticed several men in black approaching them menacingly. They grabbed handfuls of snow and started running towards the backyard, stuffing it into their mouths as they ran.

Gu Antong's tears kept falling; she had never felt so humiliated.

They were perfectly fine before, but problems arose as soon as they entered that room. Could it be that Uncle San had planned this all along and planted poison inside?

That's incredibly cruel; they're trying to kill their entire family.

But they couldn't care less about that at the moment; all they wanted was a place to stay, and they absolutely dared not go back into their previous rooms.

They ran to the backyard and found there was only one small door. Without thinking twice, they tried to open the door and rush in, but it was too late. The men in black were already in front of them.

“Let’s talk this out,” Gu Baijiang said, suppressing the discomfort in his throat. “We can discuss what you want slowly.”

That damned Ming Peifeng, where is he?

He said he would send people to guard the village entrance to ensure everything was foolproof; this is what he meant by "foolishness."

"Just leave your lives behind," they said. They hadn't intended to leave anyone alive today, but they hadn't expected that there was a master hidden among them.

"Why waste time talking to them? Let's just get to it..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sword pierced his chest. "..." I told him not to say so much, or he'd be dead...

Ming Peifeng's men finally arrived, but seeing that they were no match for him, the men in black did not linger and immediately ordered a retreat.

However, before leaving, the leader of the men in black threw his sword at Gu Baijiang.

Unfortunately, as if Gu Baijiang had anticipated this, a figure blocked his way, preventing him from suffering this disaster.

They left with regret, followed by a heart-wrenching scream, "Meibao..."

Gu Kaiyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, unsurprised that someone had once again helped him avoid disaster.

He didn't care who the unlucky one was, but went straight to the east wing. "The matter outside is settled. Don't come out yet. I'll go in and open the door in a bit."

Bai Suihe hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Don't worry, everyone's fine, all our people are safe and sound."

Bai Suihe finally breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. She had escaped another disaster.

However, I just heard a shrill scream outside, it sounded like it came from Xu Shuanghong, so it seems Fan Meibao is at a disadvantage this time...

The Gu family members were still stuffing snow into their mouths. Ming Peifeng, who rushed over, was shocked to see this. "Lord Gu, what's going on?"

"Water," now that the snow was no longer relieving their symptoms, Gu Baijiang, now free from external threats, began to look around.

Unfortunately, all the doors were tightly closed, and he had no idea where the water was.

“There’s a river right in front of you,” Gu Kaiyuan said, not understanding what was going on with them, but still offering his “conscientious” advice.

Upon hearing this, the Gu family members all ran outside, clearly remembering the river that winds around the village. Ming Peifeng and the others, worried, hurriedly followed, leaving the bodies lying on the ground unattended.

"Young master, what should we do with these?"

Fan Meibao, who had been left there, was unconscious. Lin Hua went over to check on her and found that she was still breathing.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Have someone send it to the Gu family over there. After all, it's their mess, let them clean it up themselves."

As for Fan Meibao, showing mercy to a beautiful woman? That's impossible. Keeping her in this courtyard will only cause more trouble in the end.

Upon receiving confirmation, Lin Hua and the others immediately called out Li Dazhuang and the others. With so many men, they quickly cleared the yard and delivered everything that needed to be sent to the Gu family. The other women also began to clean up the snow in the yard. Fortunately, the snow prevented the blood from getting into the yard.

"What just happened?" Gu Kaiyuan put away the animal trap by the window, then pushed open the cabinet, allowing the door to open as well.

The two maids and Granny Pang entered the room immediately and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Bai Suihe was not frightened.

"Since they visited so late at night, this old servant gave them a small gift as a token of our greeting." Granny Pang kept her eyes fixed on Gu Kaiyuan. "Is the young master feeling a little distressed?"

"No, I'm just curious what kind of gift you gave them?"

"It's just some harmless medicine I prepared myself. Don't worry, once they've filled their stomachs, their symptoms will be relieved." Granny Pang said casually, but it sent chills down their spines.

This is even more terrifying than a real fight, and they don't even know how they were hit.

Bai Suihe's eyes sparkled. "Granny, can I learn?"

“Of course, Miss can learn if she wants to,” Granny Pang glanced at Bai Suihe’s protruding belly, “but we’ll have to wait until Miss gives birth to the little master.”

Bai Suihe nodded excitedly, "I understand."

She's pregnant now, so even if Granny Pang were willing to teach her, she wouldn't dare to learn.

As they spoke, the snow in the yard was cleared away, and the snowflakes falling from the sky quickly covered the area with a thin layer again.

"It's so cold, the river shouldn't be frozen yet, right?"

“The weather here isn’t that bad,” Gu Kaiyuan knew that the rivers here wouldn’t freeze. However, to fill his stomach in this icy and snowy place, he would probably have to stay by the river for a long time.

"Go and rest," Gu Kaiyuan said, not interested in going to see. It was so cold; wouldn't it be warmer to stay in the room?

He wasn't interested, but Lin Hua's eyes were darting around. Once everyone had left, he quietly asked Zhuang Datou to open a crack for him, and then hurried towards the riverbank.

Seeing the Gu family members constantly drinking water, not even caring that their clothes were soaked, I couldn't help but swallow hard. I was even more determined that in the future, no matter who I offend, I must not offend Granny Pang.

No, and she also can't offend the young mistress. With Granny Pang around, who would be so foolish as to provoke her, let alone that she even wants to learn from Granny Pang...

Ming Peifeng stayed by the river the whole time, asking, "Haven't you had enough water yet after drinking so much?"

I think you guys shouldn't drink anymore; if you keep drinking, something bad will happen.

But none of the Gu family members paid him any attention; they just kept drinking water.

In the end, Ming Peifeng had no choice but to send his men to knock the man unconscious and take him back, fearing something might go wrong.
