Sang Luan leaned back and found a comfortable position. "We've come such a long way together, so it's inevitable that there will be some bumps along the way. I just hope everyone can be united in purpose. I'll give you a lot of money when we reach our destination. As for people, we'll get to know each other better over time."
The two maidservants looked at each other, with a hint of shock in their eyes.
He just lowered his head and nodded softly.
Sang Luan reached out and gently touched Meng Youning beside her, "Ningning, look, we're almost in Jingu."
Meng Youning put his head on Muxiang's shoulder without any movement.
Sang Luan reached out and touched Meng Youning again.
There was still no movement.
After a few moments, Meng Youning made a slight sound.
She frowned and shifted uneasily.
Sang Luan sat up silently, leaned closer to Meng Youning, and looked at her with her head down.
Only then did he notice that Meng Youning's cheeks were faintly flushed.
Perhaps because Meng Youning's face was originally very pale, she didn't even notice anything unusual about the other party before.
Sang Luan reached out and gently touched Meng Youning's forehead.
A burning sensation suddenly came from the palm of my hand.
Sang Luan was startled. She reached out and held Meng Youning's hand, saying with concern, "Ningning, Ningning, wake up."
Muxiang's eyelids twitched, and she held Meng Youning's arm with one hand, and at the same time exerted a little force to help him up.
She looked at Sang Luan, then turned to look at Meng Youning, and imitated Sang Luan, placing her hand on Meng Youning's forehead.
Mu Xiang was startled and a little flustered for a moment, "Why is Miss Ning suddenly so hot?"
Sang Luan suddenly asked, "How long will it take from here to where we can find a doctor?"
Yupo said hurriedly: "It will take at least half an hour."
Suddenly, the carriage, which was shaking slightly, slowly stopped.
Before Sang Luan could say anything, the groom suddenly said, "Girls, there's someone blocking the road ahead."
After saying that, Sang Luan secretly gave Mu Xiang a look and lowered her voice, "You watch her first."
Muxiang nodded heavily.
Immediately, Yupo tactfully lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and Sang Luan stood beside her, bending over and holding up her skirt.
She stared straight ahead, "Who's blocking the road?"
"Girl, it's me, it's me."
An extremely handsome man in a green shirt raised his hand slightly and waved at Sang Luan with a smile.
At this time, his blue shirt was already covered with a lot of dust.
He rubbed his nose with his hand and looked at Sang Luan with a playful smile.
Seeing that Sang Luan's expression was slightly unfriendly, he wiped his hands on his clothes and hurriedly explained, "But I don't mean to stop you. I just want to make a deal with you. I wonder if the young lady can make this decision?"
As he spoke, he stretched his neck to look inside the carriage.
Sang Luan's expression turned much colder, and she blocked the gap in the carriage tightly with her body. "What do you want to do?"
The man's stomach growled a few times, making extremely loud noises.
He touched his belly a little embarrassedly and said, "Girl, to be honest, I am a doctor. I was deceived and ended up like this."
"I'd like to take a ride on your carriage. Of course, if you have any minor illness or pain along the way, I can help you solve it for free, but you have to make sure I have a piece of bread to eat every day."
He thought about it, then silently changed one finger to three, "No, three cakes."
Seeing that the person in front of him didn't say anything, he weakly withdrew a finger and said tentatively: "Then two cakes would also be fine."
Sang Luan leaned slightly to the side and glanced at Meng Youning in the carriage.
Meng Youning's expression became even uglier.
Sang Luan silently withdrew her gaze and softened her voice, "Tell me clearly, where are you going? Why do you want to make a deal with us? And why are you here?"
The man's face lit up with joy. "So you agree?"
Sang Luan slowly sat down at one side and said, "Tell me about your situation first, then we can decide whether to agree or not."
The man nodded hurriedly. "Okay, okay, of course I can. My name is Qu Shiqing. I used to be a traveling doctor, but one day I met a good friend who said that if I could treat a wealthy family once, I would get 100 taels of gold."
"It was so tempting to me that I agreed on the spot. Of course, before I agreed, I investigated the matter and found that it was indeed true."
Qu Shiqing sighed slowly, "I didn't expect that this should have been a good thing, but my good friend suddenly disappeared. Before he disappeared, he pretended to be me and went to treat that old man, hoping to get the gold. Unexpectedly, he accidentally killed the man, and then he just walked away. I was hunted down and killed for half a year."
He made a bitter face. "I finally got here. The man who disappeared not long ago has been found. He lived a life of luxury in Jiangnan for several months, and I suffered so much for him. Now the truth is out, but I don't have any money left."
He hung his head and said weakly, "I have been walking in this small bamboo forest for ten days."
He lifted his foot and said, "Look, the soles of my shoes are almost rotten. If I keep walking, I will really starve to death here."
"I've only seen you passing by here in such a long time. Please be so kind as to take me with you. If not, a cake will do." Qu Shiqing was always paying attention to the expressions of the two.
Sang Luan tilted her head slightly, "You said you were a traveling doctor?"
Qu Shiqing nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you are heading towards Gusu from this direction, I only need to go to Yunzhong and pass Jinan County."
Sang Luan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, thinking it was a good opportunity to test this man's medical skills.
"It does sound a bit tragic, but whether or not you can take them along isn't up to me alone. My other friend is feeling unwell right now."
Qu Shiqing immediately understood and quickly raised his hand, "Small problem."
Immediately afterwards, Sang Luan asked two maids to carry Meng Youning down and covered her with a simple quilt.
After half a cup of tea.
Qu Shiqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath. "Okay, I've already given her acupuncture. She's not catching a cold, it's just her heavy heart and the fatigue from traveling all night. She'll be fine after a little rest."
He put away the silver needle and spoke softly.
After putting away the silver needles, he looked up at Sang Luan and said, "When I took her pulse just now, I found that some of the symptoms she had from her mother's womb had not yet dissipated. I cured her of them all, and she won't cough anymore from now on."
