A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Old Man Lu was of course very willing. After listening to Xiao Wu's words and confirming that it was true, he immediately urged Xiao Wu to leave quickly!
Seeing that Xiao Wu wasn't quick enough and had no sense of responsibility as an old man, he actually grabbed Xiao Wu and started running.
You can imagine what happened after Xiao Wu realized what was going on!
Xiao Wu just didn't expect Old Man Lu to agree so easily. He was thinking about how to coerce or entice him, but he got it done in just a few words!
The result was quite different from what he had expected, so he was taken aback for a moment.
Once he realized what was happening, he came to his senses and realized that it wasn't Old Man Lu who was pulling him away anymore!
Soon it turned into Old Man Lu being dragged along at breakneck speed, his beard flying wildly, running until he was completely out of breath!
Old Lu kept shouting "Slow down!" while cursing Xiao Wu in his heart, "Why is the little brat running so fast!"
This is going to kill me!
Didn't you know he was an old man?
He's so old and his bones are about to fall apart from running. We don't need to save other people, we have to save him first!
That brat doesn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young; he has no empathy at all!
He's already given it his all, can't he just take a short break in between?
That's so heartless!
Luckily, he didn't go back so quickly this time. If he had been on his way back, he would have had to travel a very long distance!
Suffering so much!
Xiao Wu's steps are light and agile; he runs without much effort and doesn't even pant!
He kept Su Nanxi's words in mind and only wanted to get Old Man Lu there as soon as possible, but the more he looked, the more he felt that Old Man Lu was too slow!
The old man kept saying, "Slow down, I want to rest a bit!"
Unable to bear it any longer, I simply picked it up and left!
Now the old man doesn't have to run around anymore, and he won't be out of breath from exhaustion, right?
But this old man kept yelling and complaining; he's really hard to please!
With a heavy heart, I decided to ignore it. It must be that this old man has never been carried like this before, so he's not used to it and is afraid of falling!
He understands!
Then he'll speed up a bit, close his eyes, and they'll be there in no time!
Xiao Wu really sped up. Old Man Lu probably knew that saying more was useless and that shouting might cause bad consequences, so he gritted his teeth and decided to turn a blind eye!
While silently praying to get there quickly, he was also secretly cursing Xiao Wu. His inner thoughts never stopped!
He would never have done this if the terms he offered hadn't been so tempting!
No, I'll have to squeeze some benefits out of myself later. It just doesn't make sense to carry an old person up and down like this!
Old Man Lu made up his mind: he was going to raise the price drastically!
But when he actually arrived at the location and saw that the patient was on the verge of death, he forgot everything and immediately got into character. Saving lives was his duty!
Since he had promised to save people, he would do his best. He automatically blocked out everything from the outside world and entered his own little world.
When they first appeared, the man's entourage was very alert and immediately blocked them outside, their expressions fierce, forbidding them from approaching.
After getting out of bed, Old Man Lu calmly tidied his appearance and then said to his attendant, "I have been waiting for your young master in town for a long time. I was delayed by something today and I am late. He may be in serious condition. Please take me inside!"
Once the attendant recognized Old Man Lu, his attitude immediately underwent a complete 369-degree change, and he respectfully invited Old Man Lu inside!
Xiao Wu was turned away at the door. He looked at the closed door, his lips twitched, but he didn't care. Anyway, he had completed his mission!
He wasn't stupid. He recognized that those people had interacted with Old Man Lu before and that's why he let them in. Otherwise, there would probably have been a fierce battle!
Since we're acquaintances, things will be much easier!
He has nothing to do with this anymore!
That's their business; let them decide how to fight!
He completed this task with ease, without much effort at all!
Old Man Lu agreed readily, and without any further ado, he simply got himself inside!
He felt like he was superfluous!
withdraw!
They disappeared in a few flashes, and when they reappeared, they were right next to Su Nanxi.
"Master, you knocked him out? What if he wakes up and makes a fuss? Should we carry him outside?"
Su Nanxi was in the room next to the man's room. The room was occupied, but the man was fast asleep on the bed, not moving at all. It was unclear whether he was asleep or had fainted!
When Xiao Wu came over and saw this, he couldn't help but worry, so he simply carried the person away, making the person think that he was sleepwalking and had run outside on his own!
Although sleepwalking mostly happens at night, it's not impossible during the day!
Su Nanxi leaned against the wall, listening intently to the sounds from next door. She didn't turn around, but simply said, "No need. That person didn't see me; they won't wake up until tomorrow!"
Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
Let's just pretend this person doesn't exist!
Just as they were about to go over and listen to what was going on next door, they heard Su Nanxi say, "Hurry up and go out, Old Man Lu is looking for you, probably wanting some kind of pill!"
As she spoke, Su Nanxi pointed to a cloth bag on the table, "Take this, give me whatever I need, save people first!"
Xiao Wu stopped in his tracks, turned around, and glanced at the table. Inside the cloth bag should be a wooden box!
He nodded to Su Nanxi, took a few steps over, picked up the cloth bag, and went out.
"Hey! Where did you go? I thought you tricked me into coming here and then ran away! What are you holding in your hand?"
Old Lu came out, saw Xiao Wu, rushed over, and whispered.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was unwilling to say more, Old Man Lu immediately understood and took Xiao Wu inside.
The attendant was initially unwilling, feeling that Xiao Wu was no ordinary person and was very wary, worrying that he might be a threat to his master!
Old Man Lu said frankly, "This is my assistant. I asked him to fetch the life-saving pills! These pills are rare items, and we can't let anyone know about them easily! I came in a hurry, so I had to send him to get them! They're not cheap, so remember to pay for them when your young master does!"
The two attendants were in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a moment, they still couldn't make up their minds!
If anything happens to their master, they won't be able to get back alive!
In this situation, it's difficult to make a decision. Their master has fainted and is in critical condition, and they are unfamiliar with the area. There are many people and things they need to guard against!
You can't blame them for their hesitation; they have a lot to consider!
They disguised themselves to avoid being recognized, which would only cause trouble. Even worse, if they showed up here, they might be killed on the spot by enemies hiding in the shadows!
Their lives are worthless; they can die and that's it. But their master is different. Their duty is to protect their master and ensure his safe return. Their master cannot be harmed in any way!
Now, in this remote mountain town, the only person I know is Doctor Lu. My master once sought his treatment, but he is still unconscious. I don't know whether I should trust him or not!
"If you hesitate any longer, you can start collecting their corpses!"
