Yuan Ying took off her backpack and bandaged the wound with gauze. She was a little curious about who had saved her but didn't show up.

The sun was already setting. The driver was nowhere to be found, and there were no carriages on the road. It was still about fifty miles from here to Yunfu City. Even if I ran as fast as I could, the city gate would probably be closed by the time I reached it.

Yuan Ying sighed to the sky, is it his only fate to sleep in the wild? It doesn't matter, he has slept in the wild for so many nights, this one night won't make a difference.

She sat leisurely by the roadside waiting, hoping that there might be a passing carriage and she could catch a ride. She picked up some dogtail grass from the roadside and held it in her mouth.

If not, I can only sleep on the stone slabs tonight, and the man in black will not come again for the time being. It won't be too late to leave for Yunfu City tomorrow morning.

Maybe God didn't want her to sleep outdoors. Night was approaching, and in the last rays of the setting sun that had not yet faded, at the other end of the driveway, an old man with a glowing ray of light on his head drove a bullock cart slowly towards her.

In Yuan Ying's eyes, this was no ordinary old man, this was simply the Jade Emperor descending to earth...

She spat out the dogtail grass in her mouth and walked forward, waving her arms, as if she was afraid that others would not see her.

The oxcart was getting closer and closer. When Yuan Ying saw the old man driving the oxcart clearly, she was so shocked that she almost burst into tears. These past two days, she had been really unlucky. Wasn't this the old man who poisoned her in the dilapidated temple last time?

Obviously, the old man was also surprised when he saw her. He had been looking for this brat recently... He wanted to ask him how he broke his cartilage powder. How did he do it? He was known as the world's number one doctor. There was someone in the world whose medical skills were better than his. He must find him and worship him as his master.

So he stumbled along the way and asked around, and when he found out that he had come to Yunfu City, he followed him to Yunfu City...

Haha… After searching everywhere for something, it finally came to me without any effort. I didn’t expect to meet him here.

Yuan Ying looked at the old man warily and said, "Old man, let me tell you, your poison has no effect on me. Don't even think about poisoning me."

The old man touched his nose awkwardly and said, "We didn't know each other until we fought. You knocked me out and tied me up. It took three whole days for someone to find me. Boy, let's fight to even things out. No one will mention this again in the future."

Yuan Ying relaxed his vigilance when he heard this. He immediately changed his face to a flattering one: "Old man, where are you going? Give me a ride."

The old man laughed: "I just came to find you."

Yuan Ying pointed at himself in confusion: "Why are you looking for me? Are you looking for revenge? Didn't you say that we can even out the two?"

The old man laughed again when he saw the boy's appearance: "I'm not looking for revenge on you, I want to be your disciple."

Yuan Ying was even more confused after hearing this: "Looking to me to become your disciple? Looking for me? Are you sure you didn't get the wrong person?"

The old man was a little angry and said, "How could I be wrong? You are the only one who has been poisoned by my cartilage powder without my antidote and can cure it so quickly. You are a capable person, and your medical skills are better than mine, so I want to take you as my master."

The old man follows the principle of joining if you can’t beat them.

Yuan Ying immediately understood what a perfect misunderstanding this was! Hahaha... She didn't intend to explain.

He jumped onto the ox cart and said lazily, "Unique skills cannot be passed on to others."

The old man quickly said: "So, I will take you as my master."…………

Yuan Ying said helplessly: "I don't want a disciple as old as you."

The old man started to act shamelessly: "If you don't accept me as your disciple, I will follow you..."

Yuan Ying rolled his eyes and thought: Just follow me if you want to, but it’s no fun to dump you if you don’t want to.

The old man looked at the eagle on Yuan Ying's shoulder, swallowed his saliva and said, "Young Master, your bird is quite good."

Yuan Ying looked at the old man warily and seriously and said, "If you dare to attack it, I will kill you, no matter where you are."

The old man said angrily, "Who cares about a broken bird? Humph... didn't you say it can catch prey? Let it catch a pheasant for me to eat."

Yuan Ying said mischievously: "Aren't you going to take me as your master? It's my brother, so it's your uncle."

The old man laughed angrily, pointing at Brother Ying and said, "You want me to call this thing Uncle Shi?"

Brother Eagle glanced at the old man with contempt, as if to say: You old man are so evil, and you still want to eat me, wait and see how I peck your eyeballs...

Yuan Ying was too lazy to pay attention to him. He left the old man behind when he arrived at Yunfu City. He was very annoying. Along the way, the ox cart arrived at the city gate unknowingly amid the old man's noisy voice. The city gate had already been closed.

Yuan Ying drove the ox cart to the City God Temple not far from the city gate. She got off the cart and walked into the temple. As expected of a city, the temple was clean and tidy, and the Buddha statues were polished to a shining gold.

It was obvious that people came and went frequently. She found a place to sit down. The old man also came over and sat down next to her.

She said somewhat displeasedly: "This temple is so big, why do you have to sit next to me?"

The old man said indifferently: "I said, if you don't accept me as your disciple, I will follow you."

Yuan Ying really wanted to swear at this moment...but the old man was old after all. He could be annoying, but she could never let herself lose her manners.

She stopped talking, took out some dry biscuits from her bag and gave some to Brother Ying, then started eating. Fortunately, they had eaten the driver's porridge and the prey that Brother Ying had hunted along the way.

The old man was not happy with this… He stretched out his hand to grab it, but Yuan Ying dodged it. The old man almost sprained his waist.

When the old man saw that the hard approach didn't work, he tried the soft approach, focusing on being shameless.

“Wuwuwu… You tied me up for three days, and then I was finally rescued and followed you all the way to Yunfu City.

I didn’t even have a good meal on the way. I finally found you, but you didn’t give me any food. Is there a master like you? Woo woo woo…”

Yuan Ying's scalp tingled when he heard this. He took out the last pancake from his bag and handed it to the old man, saying, "Stay away from me."

The old man took it and smiled triumphantly, thinking: Humph! Brat, I can't cure you! Your uncle will always be your uncle.

After eating the pancake, Yuan Ying fell asleep while hugging Brother Ying. The old man walked around the City God Temple and fell asleep after finding it boring. Soon, he began to snore heavily.

At this moment, Yuan Ying suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the old man, and walked out of the City God Temple quietly while holding Brother Ying.

Arriving at the gate, looking at it, it would be fine if I could climb up, but I would be considered a spy. There was no need to take the risk.

She found a big rock by the river and slept there. The next morning, she said to Eagle Brother: "I have important things to do recently. It is not convenient for you to follow me. You should go to the forest to find food for a few days." Then she threw Eagle Brother into the sky.

Then she washed up by the river, washed and dried the black hair cut from the man in black, and then used a rubber band to connect it to her own short hair with great disgust.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail and looked at her reflection in the river, but she always felt something was missing. She looked at her long robe and her eyes lit up. She used a dagger to cut off a piece of cloth and tied it to the joint of her hair. Well... the effect was immediate.

Looking at herself in the water. Her hair was tied up high, and the azure blue clothes made her look very heroic. She was so handsome...

He took many self-portraits of himself in the water. Then he walked towards the city gate with satisfaction. He looked around but didn't see the stinky old man. He chose this time to enter the city specifically in the hope of not running into him.

The notice board at the city gate was crowded with people, all talking about it:

"This imperial edict from Yunfu City has been posted for so long, why hasn't anyone taken it down? There's an epidemic in Zhuang County, with tens of thousands of deaths and injuries!"

"Oh my god, there is always a plague after a heavy rain every year, why is the plague so severe this time?"

"I hope the court can find a solution!"

"Doesn't the imperial edict say that the world's famous doctors should be searched for to cure the disease in Zhuang County? Those who succeed will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver and 100 acres of good farmland!"

"Someone always tries to take down the imperial edict posted in Yanjing City, but later on, it turns out that it wasn't a doctor. The imperial court is not stupid, and they will know if it's a doctor or not by asking."

"But they could not stop the swindlers who were seeking fame and reputation and took risks. I heard that those swindlers were beheaded and their heads were hung on the city gate for public display."

…………

Yuan Ying did not stay for long and walked through the crowd, strode to the signboard at the city gate, and without hesitation, took down the imperial edict on the signboard!

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded and looked at her in astonishment.

"Someone...someone has taken down the imperial edict!" Several guards at the city gate, holding spears, walked towards Yuan Ying majestically.

"You took down the imperial edict, but you are a doctor?!" A guard looked at Yuan Ying suspiciously. Even though he had taken down the imperial edict, he did not dare to relax at all.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying originally wanted to say that he was not a doctor, but if he did that he might not even be able to enter the city gate, and might even be beheaded.

She had no choice but to straighten her back and said, "I am a doctor! I have a good solution to this plague!" Seeing him so arrogant, several guards couldn't help but look at each other, quite shocked. The leading guard looked at her coldly.

He said coldly: "If you are not a doctor, do you know what will happen to you?"

Yuan Ying nodded calmly: "Yes, I know. Take me to see your leader. Fighting the epidemic is like putting out a fire..."

The leading guard stared at her for a long time, then said to the guard next to him, "Take him to see Lord Fang."

When the crowd heard that someone could solve the plague, there was an uproar!

Passerby A: "I wonder who will reveal the imperial edict this time?"

Passerby B: "Who knows? Maybe he is just another charlatan who wants to kill himself."

Passerby C: "I hope it's a miracle doctor, otherwise the current development of the plague will soon spread to Yunfu City."

…………

Everyone follows the crowd
