Chapter 576: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 576: Troubles (1)
Over a hundred people went up the mountain but managed to hunt only a few game. Several were injured and had to be carried down. Among the worst injured was Mo Qingze, the only scholar in Liuyang Village and a hope for the revival of the Mo family. The "culprit" behind the injuries was not only unharmed but also swaggered into the village and refused to leave the Mo household.
Within an hour, the news spread throughout the village, even to the toddlers who had just started talking. When they heard about the beast that could eat people, they would cry loudly and hide in adults' arms.
The villagers were anxious and even avoided approaching the Mo household for fear that the fierce beast might come out and harm them. Those who were on good terms with the Mo family, like those bringing eggs to comfort Mo Qingze, were willing to help drive away the beast. Mo Yan was both touched and helpless, struggling to find a polite way to refuse their kindness.
On the other hand, those who had grievances against the Mo family or harbored personal grudges seized the opportunity to run to the village chief, exaggerating the situation and accusing the Mo family of keeping a beast that endangered the villagers' safety. They demanded strict punishment according to village regulations.
Among these accusers were Hong shi and the family of Wang Dali, who had been expelled from the village.
Yang Bao, the village chief, was also troubled by this. Keeping a dangerous beast in the village would indeed threaten the villagers' safety, so punishment was necessary. However, he had a close relationship with the Mo family, and the village depended on them in many ways. Moreover, the beast had never been seen coming out of the Mo household, let alone causing harm. Yang Bao was reluctant to offend the Mo family and saw no pressing reason to take severe action against them.
As village chief, Yang Bao could not show too much favoritism, even if he sympathized with the Mo family. Important village affairs were overseen by several respected elders, and if the matter wasn't handled properly, not only would the villagers complain, but the elders would also not tolerate it.
Furthermore, it wasn't just Yang Bao who knew about the incident… Thinking of this, Yang Bao became restless. Once the accusers left, he headed straight to the Mo household.

Even though Mo Qingze and the other injured individuals had washed their wounds with spiritual spring water and applied special three-seven powder, Mo Yan was still worried. She personally drove a carriage to the city to invite the esteemed Doctor Du for a consultation.
“These are just superficial injuries, nothing serious. With some rest, they’ll be fine! Your three-seven powder is good; just change it daily. I won’t prescribe any other medicine. It’s best to avoid certain foods until the wounds heal…”
After carefully checking Mo Qingze and the others, physician Du's expression softened. He gave Mo Yan detailed instructions on what to pay attention to.
Seeing Mo Yan nodding and taking notes, Doctor Du glared at her and said grumpily, “You scared me with your vague report. I thought people might be seriously injured. If you keep this up, I’ll lose years off my life.”
Mo Yan stuck out her tongue and flattered, “Grandpa Du, you know I’m not skilled in pulse reading. How would I know if my father’s internal organs are injured? I had to have someone as skilled as you check him to truly feel at ease!”
physician Du gave her a sidelong glance, unimpressed. “I suggested you learn medicine from me earlier. You were too lazy to learn, and now you see the consequences?”
It turned out that after becoming acquainted, physician Du noticed Mo Yan’s calm demeanor, good aptitude, and knowledge of medicine. He had considered taking her as an apprentice. Without any children or close relatives, he didn't want the Du family’s medical skills to die with him and hoped to pass them on to a worthy successor, thereby addressing a personal regret.
