Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

But then I thought again, and I felt that it might be because someone poisoned him yesterday.

"Miss." Qiu Shui hesitated for a while and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Xiao?"

"How about what?"

"Miss, please don't blame me for being nosy." Qiu Shui said seriously, "Qiu Shui sees that Miss and Master Xiao go in and out together every day, and spends time together day and night, and I am very worried. It's fine if Master Xiao and Miss love each other, but I'm afraid that the flower will be affectionate, but the water will be ruthless."

Lu Ke'er looked at her in surprise: "Qiu Shui, you actually think so far ahead? You are worthy of being my maid."

Qiu Shui said angrily, "Miss, please don't make fun of me. The world is always much harsher on women."

"Why are you worrying so much?" Lu Ke'er didn't care. "If I meet the right person, I will consider my lifelong event. But if I don't meet the right person, I'm fine living alone."

"What?" Qiu Shui's eyes widened in shock, "Miss, do you know what you are saying?"

"I know." Lu Ke'er said, "I have learned about it. This dynasty has had women households before."

"Miss……"

Lu Ke'er said sternly, "Qiu Shui, you should be prepared for this if you stay with me. But don't worry, you are free to marry, and I will never interfere with your lifelong affairs. If you find your ideal husband in the future, I will give each of you a generous dowry."

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Qiu Shui blushed, "Have you never thought about being with Mr. Xiao?"

"Him?" Lu Ke'er smiled. "In my eyes, he is just like a younger brother. How could I have any thoughts about him? Besides, his identity seems to be extraordinary. We are not a good match."

Qiu Shui was both angry and amused: "Miss, Young Master Xiao is several years older than you. How could he be a little brother in your eyes?"

Lu Ke'er smiled faintly and said nothing.

How could Qiu Shui know that inside her twelve-year-old body was a twenty-five-year-old soul.

"But what the young lady said is true. Young Master Xiao has a noble temperament and is full of dignity in his every move. He must be rich or noble. But young lady, isn't he a distant relative of your family?"

"My father should know him." Lu Ke'er pondered, "But my father didn't tell me anything."

"The master must have his reasons for doing this."

Lu Ke'er leaned against the pillow on the seat of the carriage and sighed, "Qiu Shui, our Lu family may not have peace in the future."

"Miss, you worry too much."

"I hope so."

………………

It was half an hour later when the carriage reached the hillside.

A temporary widened road appeared between the hillside and the official road, allowing carriages to pass smoothly. Along the way, you can occasionally see ox carts and horse carts transporting various building materials and supplies passing by.

The hillside that was once remote and sparsely populated now looks completely different.

Dozens of people were working enthusiastically on the construction site, and several foremen were constantly moving around the site, digging, driving piles, moving stones, carrying wood... It was a busy scene.

As soon as Lu Ke'er got off the carriage, Lu Kun and Shi Chenxing came to greet her.

They had received information yesterday that Lu Ke'er would be coming, and they went to the construction site to wait for her early in the morning.

"Miss, why did you and Qiu Shui drive here by yourselves? Where is Brother Zuo?" Shi Chenxing couldn't help but worry when he saw that there were only Lu Ke'er and Qiu Shui.

"Xiaomei knows the road. She can pull the cart by herself without anyone driving." Lu Keer patted Xiaopa's back with satisfaction, causing it to raise its head proudly, with its long mane fluttering in the wind.

Lu Kun was amazed: "This horse is really smart."

"Miss, how can you be with only one maid? You need to be accompanied by a guard." Shi Chenxing reminded her.

"Don't worry, Xiaopa is following me." Lu Keer said with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a "meow" and the little cat with shiny black fur jumped out from behind the car.

"Is this Xiaopa?" Lu Kun opened his eyes wide in surprise. "It's as big as a wolf."

"Meow——" Xiaopa was unhappy.

How can a wolf be as powerful as it?

"Uncle Kun, thank you." Lu Ke'er felt really bad when she saw that Lu Kun had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

"Miss, thanks to Uncle Kun for coming here." Shi Chenxing was sincerely grateful. "At the beginning, some gangsters came to make trouble, but now that Uncle Kun is here, they dare not come. Our project is progressing smoothly."

Lu Ke'er was also surprised that Lu Kun would take the initiative to help this time.

"Xiao Xing, we are family, so we should keep our differences." Lu Kun patted his chest and laughed heartily, "Ke'er saved my life, so isn't it my duty to help a little?"

"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Lu Ke'er said earnestly.

"Miss, everything is done according to the blueprint you drew. Also, I had the grass on the hillside cut and collected instead of thrown away. I'll send someone to deliver it to your home later."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Ke'er nodded.

That grass contains rich spiritual energy, Xiaomei should like it.

Shi Chenxing didn't know what the grass was used for, but he always strictly obeyed the lady's orders.

"Coo, coo." Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai followed. These days, they fly up the hillside every day, eating grass seeds, and their bellies are bulging.

"Don't fly too far, or you'll be caught again." Lu Ke'er warned them, waved her hand, and watched them fly into the blue sky.

Lu Ke'er asked some more questions about the construction situation, and after repeatedly instructing the workers to ensure meals and rest time, she and Qiu Shui drove away to Xilin County.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage drove into a silent forest.

Suddenly, Xiaopa let out a "meow", stopped running, arched his back, and became alert.

Xiaomei neighed loudly, and the carriage stopped.

A figure jumped out from the bushes by the roadside, stumbled to the middle of the road, seemed unable to hold on any longer, and fell to the ground dejectedly.

"Miss!" Qiu Shui screamed in a low voice, and threw himself forward to stand in front of Lu Ke'er.

Her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling, but she stood in front of Lu Ke'er without hesitation.

The figure lay on the ground, motionless.

Lu Ke'er patted Qiu Shui's hand, motioning her to move aside.

"Miss!" Qiu Shui's voice trembled.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Lu Ke'er said, "I'll go over and take a look. That person seems injured."

Qiu Shui had no choice but to give way: "I will go with the young lady."

The two got out of the car and walked towards the man.

Qiu Shui always stood in front of Lu Ke'er.

The man fell ten feet away from the carriage. When she got closer, Lu Keer found that he was a young man in his twenties, wearing ragged clothes, with tattered cloth barely covering his skinny body. The man had scars all over his body, mostly from whip wounds, with almost no intact skin or flesh. Some of the wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen, and blood was still oozing out.

The man fell on his back, one of his eyes was swollen, and there was a hideous wound on his forehead, with skin and flesh torn. There were several long and thin scars on his cheeks, stained with blood and dust. His lips were pale, cracked and peeling, and it seemed that he had not eaten for a long time.

Lu Ke'er bent down, placed her fingers on the man's pulse, and secretly used her spiritual energy to explore his body.

With countless external and internal injuries, long-term malnutrition, and overwork, this man has very little life left.

At this moment, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai flew in from the forest, calling "Coo-coo-coo-coo".

Lu Ke'er frowned deeply: "Someone is chasing us. We have to leave here as soon as possible."

Qiu Shui's pretty face turned pale: "Are you chasing this person?"
