Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Well, I have to say, it feels good to be organized.

The eldest sister and Xiaomaizi haven't woken up yet, and there's nothing wrong on their side at the moment. However, a few villagers came to Dr. Qiao timidly, asking for someone to help take a look.

Lin Xiaoyue just happened to bump into him. The man was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw her. He subconsciously wanted to slip away without caring about diagnosing the disease. But he didn't expect to be stopped by Lin Xiaoyue, who asked, "Why don't you ask Doctor Li to see you?"

Lin Xiaoyue didn't notice the change in Doctor Qiao's expression when she blurted out the three words "Doctor Li".

The visitor was in tears but had no tears. He answered Lin Xiaoyue's questions with a trembling voice. After a series of incoherent words, Lin Xiaoyue finally figured out that Doctor Li had fallen ill after eating the medicine-relief food given to him by the villagers a few days ago. He is still in a daze and has only a mute medicine boy to take care of him. How could he have the energy to treat other people?

Doctor Li had helped the Lin family more than once before. He even set Old Man Lin's leg. Even if he paid back all the owed money for medicine and medical consultation afterwards, favors are the hardest to repay.

Lin Xiaoyue did not delay and asked the man where Doctor Li was, and then prepared to go over to check the situation.

Doctor Qiao is such a cool person, but I didn't expect him to suddenly offer to go with me.

Seeing his extremely anxious face, Lin Xiaoyue guessed that there was a high probability that they knew each other.

Otherwise, who would be so anxious about the safety of a total stranger that he would run a hundred meters and trip three or four times? No one would believe that there was no trick.

When the two followed the person, they were led all the way to a remote and deserted place far away from the Linjia Village team, where they saw a bare cart parked under a protruding rock, which used the protruding position of the rock to form a low shade.

There seemed to be a person lying on the cart, covered with a tattered blanket, motionless. Beside him were several bamboo baskets of different sizes on the ground, which seemed to be filled with some unknown medicinal herbs.

But, why is there no one to take care of him when he is here? Wasn't there a mute medicine boy to take care of him? Where is he?

Before Lin Xiaoyue could think, Doctor Qiao rushed forward. The old man who used to be vigorous and elegant now looked pale, short of breath, and so weak that he was just a bag of skin and bones.

"Senior Brother." Doctor Qiao called out, but unfortunately Doctor Li did not respond. He immediately took the other's pulse.

!!!

Just as Doctor Qiao was about to touch Doctor Li, suddenly a large black hand stretched out from the side and pushed him away.

A tall and thin man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, who was so dirty from head to toe that his features could not be recognized, carrying a basket of herbs, suddenly caught the three people's sight. He stopped in front of Doctor Li's cart with the attitude of a protector, staring at the three people with vigilance.

Doctor Qiao hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you mute?"

Seeing that the tall and thin man was just staring at him fiercely without any other movements, Lin Xiaoyue and Doctor Qiao immediately guessed that the other party was undoubtedly the mute medicine boy that others mentioned.

"Get out of the way. I'm a doctor. The person lying over there is my senior brother. I won't harm him." Doctor Qiao glanced at the man and said coldly, "It's all an explanation." Then he was about to walk around him to check on Doctor Li's condition.

But the mute medicine boy refused to recognize him and thought that the strange middle-aged man was here to cause trouble.

There had been several groups of people like this in the village before, with a lot of excuses, all of which wanted to take advantage of Doctor Li's coma to plunder some food or money from him. So, when it was Doctor Qiao's turn, his first reaction was to naturally regard the other party as the same as those who had taken advantage of him before, and to add insult to injury.

Doctor Qiao went to the left, and the mute medicine boy also went to the left.

Doctor Qiao went to the right, and the mute medicine boy also went to the right.

He said nothing, but just tried to stop people from getting close to Doctor Li, which made Doctor Qiao so angry that he started pushing the person.

After Doctor Qiao made a move, the mute medicine boy's eyes flashed, and he swiftly grabbed Doctor Qiao's wrist. With such force, Doctor Qiao almost lost his balance and screamed in pain.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue hurried forward and kicked the mute medicine boy in the knee. The boy was caught off guard and his knee hit the ground heavily, and his grip on Doctor Qiao's wrist also loosened.

Doctor Qiao felt the force on his hands loosen slightly and immediately broke free. He realized that this mute medicine boy was no simple man and that his old arms and legs could not handle him. So he very practically hid behind Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue: ...

"This is really a doctor..." Before Lin Xiaoyue finished speaking, her eyes flashed, and she twisted her body to the side, avoiding the sudden attack of the mute. Then she turned nimbly and flashed behind the mute, grabbing the back of the mute's neck like lightning, and her other hand clamped a razor blade against the mute's carotid artery, "You don't know whether it's good or bad, do you want to kill Doctor Li?"

In close combat, it is self-evident who has the better skills.

Lin Xiaoyue had no intention of hurting anyone, especially since she knew that the mute medicine boy was wholeheartedly protecting Doctor Li, it was even more impossible for her to hurt him.

The mute medicine boy had been following Doctor Li since he was rescued from a mountain valley a month ago. They supported each other on the road to escape famine and overcame difficulties one after another. However, a few days ago, Doctor Qiao ate the medicine food given by the villagers who had been treated, and he collapsed without any signs that night.

It was unclear who had given them the food, but after they ate it, something went wrong. But after Doctor Li fell ill, the villagers who had been helped by him turned against him, saying that Doctor Li had seized their food and demanded that he return it to them.

That's why the mute medicine boy stopped everyone he saw, for fear that others would get close and do something to hurt Doctor Li.

He always remembered what Doctor Li had repeatedly told him not to hurt anyone. Those people were just ordinary people and could not withstand his power.

Although he didn't know what Kung Fu was, the groups of people who came before were subdued and thrown out by him in a few moves, and he never saw those people dare to come and cause trouble again.

But the little girl in front of him was so thin, short, dark, and not very noticeable. But before he could react, she slipped behind him and restrained him.

The hand that pinched the back of his neck was so strong that he almost felt that his neck would be broken with a "snap" if the other party wanted to.

There was also an extremely sharp blade against his neck, and the cold touch made his hair stand on end.

After Lin Xiaoyue finished speaking, she released her grip on the mute medicine boy and ignored him.
