Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

As soon as the sky was getting light, Ye Feng and his group got ready to set off.

The mountain forest was shrouded in mist in the morning. At a glance, the surrounding grass and trees seemed to be covered with a piece of faint gauze. The sun rose, and the sunlight penetrated through the layers of dense branches and leaves, shining on the crystal clear dewdrops on the grass. These dewdrops sparkled like pearls, wetting the hems of passers-by.

As they walked through the forest, they startled birds from time to time. As the wheels of the carriage rolled over the grass, some wild flowers were crushed under the wheels, and their petals fell to the ground.

Gradually, the carriage drove into a dense forest. The sunlight was blocked by the huge trees and lush branches and leaves, and the light suddenly dimmed.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, Chu Xiong suddenly tightened the reins and the horse under him stopped.

Three carriages also stopped.

Chu Xiong looked up and saw towering trees reaching into the sky. Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, he could vaguely see the blue sky above his head.

There was silence all around.

Even the sounds of birds and insects seemed to disappear.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow whizzed towards the carriage, Chu Xiong drew his sword and chopped the arrow in two. But more arrows came like rain.

"Protect the young master!" Chu Xiong shouted angrily.

A dozen dark shadows emerged from behind the woods and rushed towards the carriage as fast as lightning.

Almost at the same time, Ye Feng's secret guards also appeared and faced the assassin.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Ye Feng sat calmly on the snow-white wool cushion in the carriage, holding his hand warmer. From outside the carriage came the sounds of fierce fighting and the collision of weapons, and occasional screams. Xiao Shizi had already taken out the dagger in his arms, and stood behind the door, blocking Ye Feng.

"Little Stone, are you afraid?" Night Breeze's voice was gentle.

"Sir, you are not afraid of small stones."

"Little Stone, how long have you been following me?"

"Your Highness, I have been serving Your Highness since I was six years old. It has been ten years now."

"You are only sixteen years old." Ye Feng said with pity and sigh, "But you have experienced hundreds of assassinations, big and small, around me, right?"

"Your Highness, including this time, the total is one hundred and eight times."

"If we get away with it this time, what do you want to do?"

"Serve Your Highness well."

"Besides this?"

"...I'd better serve His Highness well."

Ye Feng wanted to say something else, but suddenly Chu Xiong's anxious voice came from outside the car: "Master, let's go first!"

Before he could finish his words, the carriage suddenly started moving. Ye Feng in the carriage was caught off guard and fell sideways on the cushion, with his shoulder hitting the wall of the carriage.

"Your Highness!" Xiao Shizi hurried forward to help him up.

"It seems we can't resist it." Night Breeze's voice was still soft and pleasant, "Little Stone, no matter what happens later, remember to protect yourself first."

Xiao Shizi's eyes became moist.

Every time he was in danger, His Highness would tell him this. He knew that in His Highness's heart, they were not just subordinates and servants, but also relatives who had grown up with him and accompanied him through many hardships and dangers.

Your Highness hopes that they are all safe.

The secret guards and escorts were running fast with the carriage. According to Ye Feng's original agreement, Sikong Xiang took Bai Shu and fled separately from Ye Feng.

The two carriages looked identical from the outside, and Chu Xiong had also changed his appearance and was no different from an ordinary guard. Many assassins could not tell which carriage Ye Feng was sitting in.

Sikong Xiang and Chu Xiong made the same decision almost at the same time: Sikong Xiang's carriage continued to drive towards Xilin County, while Ye Feng's carriage broke through in another direction.

Sure enough, the assassins divided half of their forces to chase the two carriages respectively.

"Gee! Gee—" Chu Xiong kept whipping the horse pulling the cart. The horse felt the pain and ran away.

The assassins behind him were chasing him relentlessly, with arrows and hidden arrows shot at him from time to time. Some were shot down by the guards guarding the carriage, and some hit the carriage directly and embedded in the iron sheet of the carriage.

People kept getting hurt, and guards kept stopping to block the assassins. The number of assassins gradually decreased, and the casualties of the guards also increased.

When the carriage drove out of the dense forest, only Chu Xiong and another guard were left by the carriage.

There was no road ahead. The horse galloped away, lost its way and ran into the mountains. There were still five or six assassins chasing behind. The leading assassin wore two brass wrist guards on his wrists, a black scarf on his face, his temples were slightly protruding, and his sharp eyes flashed with a gleam. It was obvious that he was a master of the inner martial arts.

As Chu Xiong ran, he used his inner strength to throw hidden weapons at the assassins behind him. Several hidden weapons flew towards the leading assassin, who raised his arm. With two clangs, the hidden weapons hit the brass wrist guard, sending out sparks.

Chu Xiong felt a little nervous.

This assassin leader is a tough guy.

After a stick of incense, the carriage was finally caught up by the assassin.

Chu Xiong drew his sword and shouted into the car, "Xiao Shizi, take the young master away!"

He jumped out of the car and stopped the assassin with another guard.

The two were both elite guards with great martial arts skills, and they tried their best to stop the five assassins. But the leading assassin passed them and rushed straight to the carriage.

Xiao Shizi was already sitting in the driving seat. His young and tender face was tense and tense. He suppressed the panic in his heart and whipped the horse desperately, silently saying in his heart: "Faster, faster."

However, after running for most of the day, the horse was exhausted and its speed gradually slowed down. Xiao Shizi looked back and saw the assassin running towards him with a fierce look in his eyes and punched the carriage.

The fist was faintly filled with the force of wind and thunder, and it hit the iron-clad carriage with a dull sound. The door was shattered, and inside the car, Ye Feng also felt unbearable chest pain, "Wow——" and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The small stone was also hit by the aftermath, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced. The pain almost made him fall off the carriage. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, stabbed the dagger in his hand into the horse's buttocks, and shouted, "Young Master, be careful, hurry up!"

The horse felt pain, raised its head, neighed loudly, and ran hard. The carriage flashed past the assassin's eyes, just avoiding another punch from the assassin.

The assassin missed his attack, cursed, and ran after him again.

The dagger was stuck in the horse's buttocks, and the horse felt pain every time it ran. The pain stimulated the horse to run even harder, and for a moment, its speed was so fast that it left the assassin behind.

Xiao Shizi held on tightly to a pillar beside the door to avoid falling. He was dizzy and his ears were ringing. In a daze, he suddenly saw the assassin raise his hand, and a black light shone through the open window directly into the car.

Before he could think about it, he instinctively rushed forward and stood in front of Ye Feng.

With a "pop" sound, he felt a sharp pain in his back, his throat was blocked, and warm blood flowed out of his mouth.

"Little Stone!" In a trance, he seemed to see Ye Feng's frightened and painful eyes, and heard Ye Feng's anxious and frightened call.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to comfort His Highness not to worry, but no sound came out of his throat.

Ye Feng held the small stone in his arms, feeling sad and pained. He turned his head inadvertently and glanced outside the car, and was suddenly shocked.

The injured horse was still stumbling as it pulled the carriage. The door had long since disappeared, and from the open carriage, a cliff was more than ten feet in front of the carriage.

Ye Feng rushed to the entrance of the carriage to pull the reins, but how could a weak man like him stop the mad horse? He watched helplessly as the horse screamed and fell off the cliff, and the carriage was dragged towards the abyss.

………………

Lu Ke'er was very busy these days. She borrowed a carriage from Pinxianlou and traveled back and forth between Jinji Town and Lingxia Village every day.

She made a lot of snail sauce and sold it to Pinxianlou, earning more than two taels of silver. Together with Ji, she cleared the vacant land in the backyard of her home, weeded, turned the soil, prepared the land, and made ridges and beds, turning it into three vegetable plots about four meters long and two meters wide. She bought some carrot seedlings and spinach seeds from Jinji Town and planted them in one of the plots of land. Carrots have a strong ability to adapt to the environment. They can be sown all year round and have low requirements for soil. In Lu Ke'er's opinion, carrots are a must-have vegetable for the family. It can be eaten directly, cooked, or made into soup. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight. Spinach, which has a very unique taste, is also suitable for sowing in autumn. It has a high dietary fiber content and contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, which are very beneficial to human health.

After planting a vegetable plot, Lu Keer took a horse-drawn carriage to Jinji Town to see Zhang Ada, who had come to Pinxianlou for a follow-up visit. Zhang Ada's skin disease had improved a lot, so she wrote a new prescription and asked him to go to Xuanhu Pavilion to get the medicine, and told him that he could go directly to Xuanhu Pavilion for a follow-up visit or medical treatment in the future.

After seeing Zhang Ada, she used acupuncture to detoxify Qiuye, who was temporarily staying in Pinxian Building. Qiushui was happy to see her coming and kept sticking to her, as if she could bring Qiushui a sense of security. Qiuye had woken up, but he had no strength to speak. In the past two days, Qiushui helped him apply the ointment prepared by Lu Keer every day. The abscesses on his body were no longer as scary as they were a few days ago. The redness and swelling had subsided a lot, and some of the broken sores no longer oozed pus.

Just after she finished dealing with Qiuye's matter and was about to leave Pinxianlou, she met the skinny monkey, one of the three heroes of Jinji Town, who came here to look for her. It turned out that she had finished taking the medicine prescribed for Biaozi, and the skinny monkey hoped that she could help to check Biaozi again.

Following the skinny monkey to Biaozi's home, I found that Biaozi's family was poor and there was only an old mother in the family. His father died of illness when he was three years old, and his mother raised him alone. Biaozi was naughty and active since he was a child, and he got into trouble almost every day. The orphan and his widowed mother have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and they have been looked down upon and suffered a lot, which also cultivated Biaozi's impulsive personality and brave and aggressive character.

Seeing the skinny monkey bringing a little girl home, Biaozi's mother was surprised at first. But after hearing from the skinny monkey that the little girl had cured Biaozi's injury, she immediately felt grateful to the little girl.

"Thank you so much, young lady. My Biaozi is a bad guy. I heard from Shouhou that it was only thanks to your presence at the time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to my Biaozi..."

Before he finished speaking, he started crying sadly.

Lu Ke'er looked at her white hair and old face, and she couldn't say the words she wanted to blame Biaozi.

In the eyes of this mother, no matter how many bad habits this child has, he is still her dearest child.

Biaozi's condition is relatively stable. His broken ribs have been connected and have not been dislocated in the past few days. His leg injury has also recovered well, and his internal injuries are also gradually improving. After all, he is young and has a good physical foundation.

She changed the medicine for Biaozi's injured leg, wrote a new prescription, and asked Shouhou to go to Xuanhu Pavilion to get the medicine in her name.

Biaozi lay on the bed, silent from beginning to end, glancing at her from time to time.

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone." Lu Ke'er ordered, "You have to take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, Biaozi's mother started crying again and scolded Biaozi, "Why do you worry so much, kid? I told you not to dig stones, but you refused to listen. You were hit by a stone and almost lost your life. Child... Woo, why do I have such a miserable life? If anything happens to you, how can I explain to your dead father?"

"Digging stones?" Lu Ke'er glanced at Biaozi with a smile.

Biaozi avoided his gaze and his ears turned red.

The skinny monkey stammered, "Ah, Miss Lu, you...you don't know, that day, it was actually Biaozi who went to the quarry to dig stones to make some money...to make some money for his aunt, but he was hit by a stone...well...well, it's a good thing I met you...haha..."

As he finished speaking, his voice became lower and lower, and he hung his head and scratched his hair embarrassedly.

He felt really guilty for lying to the person concerned.

"Ms. Lu, thank you so much." Biaozi's mother held Lu Ke'er's hand tightly, and tears as big as beans rolled down from her wrinkled eyes.

She wiped her tears and said, "To be honest, Miss Lu, you saved Biaozi, which means you saved my life! The neighbors around me all say that Biaozi is not good in this or that, but I don't think so. Biaozi is a little naughty, but he is not a bad person. He is filial and wants me to live a good life..."

Lu Ke'er thought to herself that Biaozi probably wanted to make a name for himself so as to repay his mother for raising him, so he went to the gambling house to gamble. He wanted to make money so that his mother could live a good life.

She patted Biaozi's mother's thin shoulders and nodded, "You are right, Biaozi is a good boy. Don't worry, when his injury heals, he will work hard, make money, and let you live a good life."

Biaozi stared at Lu Ke'er with eyes wide open in shock, as if he didn't believe that she would help him hide the truth about his injury. Even Shouhou looked incredulous.

Biaozi's mother smiled. The wrinkles on her face stretched out and blossomed into a flower.

Hearing Lu Ke'er's recognition and praise of her son, her heart felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.

"Miss Lu, thank you, thank you."

"Auntie, please take good care of Biaozi. Of course, you have to take care of yourself too. When you finish taking the medicine, go to Xuanhu Pavilion to get more medicine and put it on my account."

"This...how can this be possible?" Biaozi's mother shook her head repeatedly.

"Consider it as a loan to you temporarily." Lu Ke'er glanced at Biaozi on the bed and said with a smile, "Biaozi will naturally return it to me when he makes money in the future. Right, Biaozi?"

Biaozi nodded silently.

A sour and warm feeling surged in my heart.

After leaving Biaozi's house, Lu Ke'er saw that it was still early and thought of Shi Chenxing and his sister who lived in the abandoned old house. So she went to the street to buy some rice, flour, cloth and other daily necessities, and then asked the driver to drive the cart to the stone bridge in the west of the town.
