Chapter 294 What a boastful tone! Where did this old miracle doctor come from?

“I am from Medicine King Valley. If such a scoundrel really comes from Medicine King Valley, I will definitely clean house for my sect.”

A fierce glint flashed in Yun Zhao's eyes.

"If anyone uses the name of Medicine King Valley to harm people, I will stop them even more!"

Zhuge Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively stepped back.

When he realized what was happening, he was shocked.

A five-year-old child could make him feel such a strong sense of pressure!

No wonder she's the daughter of the Prince of Jin!

"Young Miss is very righteous. She previously said that those people would appear at unpredictable times, but they usually appeared in the early morning."

"Why don't we ambush them, capture them when they appear, and bring them to the young lady?"

If you want to stake out people in the early morning, you have to set off in the middle of the night now.

Which parent would agree to taking their child out in the middle of the night?

"Alright, let's go now!"

Before Zhuge Jing could answer, Yun Zhao had already run to the door, ready to go next door to find the tiger.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyi quickly instructed Zhichun, "Go and get Zhaozhao's black cloak and sachet."

Zhuge Jing then realized that they had agreed to let the little dumpling go out in the middle of the night without even thinking about it.

Xu Qingyi curtsied to him, saying, "Thank you for your help in looking after Zhaozhao, Young Master Zhuge."

"Madam Yun, you flatter us. Miss Yun Zhao is our benefactor, and we will certainly protect her!"

Zhuge Yue, who was standing to the side, quickly returned the greeting, his expression becoming more serious.

Yun Zhao rode back on his bicycle and waved to them.

Let's go quickly!

To avoid disturbing others, Yun Zhao shouted in a low voice.

"They're here!"

Zhuge Jing bowed to the crowd and then quickly walked out.

Xu Yifei subconsciously took a few steps after him, but stopped before Xu Zhenbang could speak.

"Zhao Zhao, be careful!"

He gave his instructions.

"Don't worry, Uncle, Zhaozhao will be careful!"

Yun Zhao waved his hand, and Hua Hua, who was beneath him, lifted her foot to leave.

Xu Qingyi hurriedly chased after her: "Wait, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, don't catch a cold."

She draped a cloak over Yun Zhao and hung a sachet around Yun Zhao's waist.

"The mosquito repellent sachets you had made are ready. I heard there are a lot of mosquitoes in Lingnan at night."

I don't usually notice the effects of fumigating at home, but it's hard to say what would happen in the slums. It's better to bring some on hand for safety.

Be careful in everything you do. If anything seems amiss, have Hua Hua take you away immediately, understand?

Worried about delaying her, Xu Qingyi spoke much faster.

Before leaving, he kissed his daughter on the forehead.

"Remember, there are many people at home waiting for you."

Yun Zhao was focused on dealing with the Jishetang matter as soon as possible, but she forgot that she still had family members who cared about her in this life.

She was no longer the daughter of a disgraced official from her previous life, who constantly sought merit to gain favor.

She felt a warmth in her heart and reached out to hug her mother.

"Don't worry, Mother, Zhaozhao will come back safely!"

Zhichun also distributed mosquito-repellent sachets to the Zhuge family members so that they could be spared from the nuisance of mosquitoes.

Watching Yun Zhao leave, Xu Yifei finally relaxed his clenched fist.

Lu Xun walked up to him without him even noticing.

"Go and rest. I'll take you up the mountain tomorrow."

"Master?"

Xu Yifei found it somewhat strange.

Didn't Master say that the deep mountains of Lingnan are shrouded in miasma and teeming with wild animals, making it unsafe to go up the mountains?

"You'll find out tomorrow. Go and rest."

Lu Xun kept him in suspense, so Xu Yifei had no choice but to obey and go to sleep.

When Yun Zhao and his group arrived in Liang Town, it was already half an hour later.

As dawn broke, many residents of the slums began their busy day.

Since the tiger was too conspicuous, Yun Zhao had Hua Hua hide on the outside.

The group dispersed and hid in the shadows, with Zhuge Yue and Yun Zhao hiding at the entrance.

The slums were in poor condition, and it must have rained in the town that night, as the ground was muddy.

An indescribable smell filled the air, and mosquitoes and flies swarmed everywhere.

Fortunately, Xu Qingyi was thoughtful and made them bring mosquito repellent sachets.

As a result, they waited for an hour but didn't see a single person.

Yun Zhao's fair face was covered in a large bite mark.

Just as they were preparing to leave, a few people hurried past Yun Zhao.

Zhuge Yue quickly led her to hide inside.

The men were dressed in coarse cloth clothes covered with patches, and their straw sandals were worn out.

Several people were carrying a woman, a gaunt woman with a distended abdomen, who was already unconscious.

Yun Zhao frowned as he looked at it.

Is the pregnant woman experiencing a difficult labor?

Zhuge Yue quickly followed with Yun Zhao.

She was quite skilled in light-footed movements, and carrying a child like Yun Zhao, she easily kept up with the group of people who had no martial arts background.

They came to a courtyard that looked more luxurious than the surrounding courtyards.

Even the ground was covered with small pebbles, unlike the muddy road ahead.

Yun Zhao sniffed; a faint medicinal scent wafted from the courtyard.

"This should be it!"

Zhuge Yue nodded, put her down, and placed his hands to his lips.

A moment later, the clear chirping of birds rang out.

This is how the Zhuge family made their own contact.

With just their vocal skills, they can produce various bird calls, making it easy to contact each other when they are close by.

Soon after, the sound of birdsong could be heard from nearby.

And so, the Zhuge family surrounded the courtyard from all sides.

"Sister Yue, I want to go inside and take a look."

Yun Zhao was a little worried about the pregnant woman who had just been carried in, and said in a low voice.

"I, I'll take you in."

Zhuge Yue easily climbed over the low fence and hid with Yun Zhao under the windowsill.

Faint sounds could be heard coming from inside.

"Old doctor, is there any hope for this patient?"

"Yes, old doctor, you must save my little grandson!"

"Don't worry, with my master here, this child will definitely be born safely!"

The arrogant words caused even Zhuge Yue to frown.

The baby will definitely be born safely, but what about the pregnant woman?

Yun Zhao was even more furious when he heard these words.

Even her master wouldn't dare say such a thing lightly. These people are so disregardful of human life!

The pregnant woman was already in a coma; how could they guarantee her safety?

Looking through the hole in the window, Yun Zhao saw that there were eight people in the room, including the pregnant woman.

Five of them were relatives who had just carried the pregnant woman in, so the remaining two were the so-called miracle doctor and his apprentice.

Yun Zhao carefully observed the pregnant woman's condition. She was emaciated, but her abdomen was abnormally large.

With the mother so frail, it's impossible for the baby to be born safely.

The strangest thing is that even ordinary people who are this thin might not survive.

If it were a pregnant woman, the baby in her belly would certainly not be healthy, and her belly would not be this big.

This is not normal.

All these signs indicate that the pregnant woman is in an abnormal state!

Thinking of this, Yun Zhao secretly took out the medicinal powder from his sleeve.

"Sister Yue, I..."

Before Yun Zhao could say anything, Zhuge Yue signaled to her to rest assured.

She knew that Yun Zhao would not stand idly by.

Zhuge Yue whistled softly; the bird's song was very faint and brief.

The same bird calls rang out again nearby, as if several small birds were chirping to each other.

Unaware of what was happening, the so-called old doctor took out silver needles and attempted to insert them without even taking the patient's pulse!
