The Little Lucky Girl

"It was fortunate that I met you, otherwise we who were infected would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks... After you cured us, we were taken to several places and sold one after another... I was lucky enough to be bought by a kind-hearted owner, and later I followed him to do business overseas."

"We once encountered a big storm and thought we would not survive. However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We found a big island. The tribal chief there was willing to make friends with us. We exchanged a lot of things with each other. Later, seeing that we were honest, he took us to visit several nearby tribes. As a result, our business gradually expanded."

"......When I was visiting Jinxiufang in Yangzhou, I accidentally found several pictures of human acupuncture points. The strokes looked very similar to the ones you drew for us back then, so I asked the shopkeeper to find out more about them. Only then did I know that you had moved to Yuqing County......"

Chao Mo became more and more excited as he spoke, and couldn't help coughing. Grandpa Yang looked at his face carefully and interrupted him, "Are you recovering from a cold? It seems that you still have some weakness. Sit down and talk slowly. It's better not to overwork yourself."

Upon hearing this, Ming Youyou turned her head and stared at the man. Unfortunately, after staring at him for a long time, she just thought that he looked quite good because of his dark complexion and his very white teeth. The techniques of face-to-face diagnosis were of no use to her at all.

Chao Mo's eyes lit up after hearing what Grandpa Yang said, "As expected, it's you, Doctor Yang. My illness is not a big deal. People who have been sailing for years, everyone has some problems. I came here today to ask you to help see a person who has a problem with his legs."

Grandpa Yang waved his hand. "You must have known that I no longer treat patients. You are an old friend of mine. To be honest, I have focused all my energy on herbal medicine in recent years, and my medical skills are probably not as good as before. Don't put your hope on me. You'd better find a suitable doctor as soon as possible and don't delay the treatment."

"The county magistrate has already told me just now," Chao Mo said embarrassedly, "but the sick child is the son of the chief of a tribe that is on good terms with us. He came with us alive and well, but he is being sent back like this. I'm afraid that this will cause a big rift with the tribe. How can we do business with them in the future..."

"Doctor Yang has done me a favor, so I shouldn't have made things difficult for you, but we really have no other choice..." A struggle flashed across his face, and he finally sighed, "Forget it, we have done our best, and the rest will be up to fate."

Chao Mo waved to the people behind him, and several people came up, each holding a box in their hands. "I will go to the inn to tell them first, and then come back to continue chatting with my benefactor. These are some medicinal herbs I found in various places. I hope you like them."

After saying this, he was about to leave with a depressed look on his face.

Ming Youyou felt sorry for him when she saw that his back was hunched, so she tugged at the corner of her grandfather's clothes.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and Grandpa Yang stopped Chao Mo and said, "My granddaughter is also studying medicine now. If you don't mind, let her go with you. But you came from Yangzhou, and you must have searched for famous doctors along the way. My granddaughter is still young and has limited knowledge, so it's better not to have too high expectations."

Chao Mo first nodded happily, then looked around the room, and finally lowered his head to see Ming Youyou with baby fat, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

But he quickly came to his senses, smiled and saluted Ming Youyou, "Then please trouble the young doctor to go with me."

Ming Youyou nodded excitedly and reservedly, waved to the three followers behind him and said, "Let's go."

Thinking that there were not many opportunities to treat foreigners, he asked the yamen runners to invite Doctor Meng from Baicaotang.

Chao Mo put on his headscarf again, covering it up so that only his eyes were exposed. Seeing Ming Youyou staring at him, he smiled and explained, "My appearance attracts attention wherever I go, and sometimes people stare at me. In order not to cause trouble, I just cover it up like this."

Ming Youyou looked up at the bright sun outside. Although it was not summer yet, she could already feel the heat at 10 p.m. She couldn't help but say with some sympathy, "We have many people from other places coming here to do business. We can even see people with red hair and green eyes. Even if you go out without a headscarf, no one will think it's strange."

Chao Mo bowed and smiled, then pulled his headscarf down a little, saying that he was used to it, and led everyone out.

Magistrate Tao and the legal advisor looked at each other, and they seemed to understand something.

The caravan came from Yangzhou, which is a more inclusive city. Chao Mo said that he was used to wearing a headscarf. This is probably not just about his special appearance, but is probably related to his identity.

It was not easy for a Kunlun slave to gain freedom, but he could actually become the manager of a caravan and have the power to command hundreds of people. This would probably attract many people's attention. Chao Mo and his caravan must have experienced many inspections.

Magistrate Tao pondered for a moment and said to Master He, "Master, please follow and see. If there is anything you can do to help, you can do it as you see fit."

Master He took the order and followed the group into the largest inn in the area.

As soon as they entered the house, everyone was surprised. The person they thought was the chief's son turned out to be a girl.

Chao Mo explained: "Women are respected in this place, and she is the only daughter of the tribal chief."

The girl was lying on the bed. She looked older than Ming Youyou. Her skin color was similar to Chao Mo's, but her hair was a little red and curly.

Ming Youyou asked curiously, "Is she from your hometown too?"

Chao Mo shook his head, "It's far away from my hometown, but we can mostly communicate with each other."

Everyone understood. No wonder Chao Mo, who was born a slave, could hold his current position. It must be his credit that their caravan could successfully expand overseas.

Chao Mo explained something to the person on the bed in the local dialect. The girl turned her eyes to Ming Youyou and said something to her.

Chao Mo translated with a smile: "The young lady said she didn't expect to meet a female doctor."

Seeing that she was not suspicious because of her young age, Ming Youyou immediately liked her and stepped forward and said, "Let me feel your pulse."

The pulse was thin and astringent, and the Qi of the five internal organs showed weakness. Ming Youyou frowned, felt the pulse and then touched the woman's legs, and found that the woman seemed to have no feeling in her legs.

Chao Mo sighed, "When we were touring Da Qi, we encountered a noble riding a horse in the street, which frightened the horse. The lady's carriage was overturned and she fell out, resulting in a broken leg. When the doctor was setting the bone, he felt that something was wrong. I didn't expect that several months have passed and the leg is still numb."
