Zhang Niangzi and her companions followed closely behind their group.
They pushed Shuiying and her people to the back...
Qin Luo specifically asked Qin Yunyuan to tell Shui Ying that if Zhang Niangzi and the others ever made a move...
Run back immediately, and don't even think about coming up to help!
But she didn't expect Shui Ying to be so stubborn; she wouldn't listen to Qin Luo at all.
She even questioned her about whether she didn't consider her a good friend, leaving Qin Luo helpless.
The only option is for Qin Yunyuan to stay by her side and, if necessary, drag her away.
Qin Yunyuan knew his own limitations and did whatever Qin Luo told him to do.
At worst, I can just send Shuiying away and then run back myself!
At lunchtime, Qinling asked everyone to stop and rest!
Doctor You, covered in blood again, stepped down from the carriage…
Qin Ling couldn't bear to look, so she pulled him aside and asked in a low voice
"Old buddy, can you stop scaring people like that? Several kids in the village have been frightened to tears! Couldn't you have at least tried to be a little more considerate? Why are you covered in this?"
Dr. You gave an awkward smile.
"It was a mistake this time; I accidentally knocked the basin over. I won't do it again next time!"
It's a real shame about the Qinling Mountains.
"Luo Yatou said she gives you a basin of freshly slaughtered pig's blood every day, what a waste!"
Dr. You retorted, unconvinced.
"So what if it's a waste? I spent over a thousand taels of silver to buy it! I'm happy with it!"
"How much? More than a thousand taels?"
His voice was so loud that it attracted Zhang Niangzi's attention.
When Qin Ling saw her, he immediately changed his tone.
"Old buddy, maybe we should stop researching this. A thousand taels is no small sum; even if you sold us all, it wouldn't be enough!"
When Doctor You saw him looking behind him, he knew that a thief had arrived.
He raised his hand to his chest, pretending to be heartbroken.
"So close! So close to success! Wouldn't it be a shame to give up now? If we didn't have the money, a few experts would have sufficed!"
Qinling was still trying to persuade her with reason and emotion.
"Old buddy, look around our village, what real experts do we have? Those two with their fancy moves wouldn't even last a kick from a bandit. We don't have any real masters for you!"
Doctor You seemed to have suffered an unprecedented blow; even his expression became numb.
"So be it! What can I do? I'm just a penniless doctor! At worst, I'll just give up!"
He waved his hand dismissively, turned to leave, and his imposing manner was quite intimidating.
Zhang Niangzi quickly pulled him away.
"Dr. You, what's wrong? Tell me, and we'll think of a solution together. There's always a way to fix it!"
Dr. You raised her hand and wiped away non-existent tears.
"Madam Zhang, I'm afraid I can't help you with the pills!"
Zhang Niangzi thought to herself: That won't do! This concerns their rewards and status!
She anxiously offered words of comfort.
"Dr. You, I know how much of a regret it is for a doctor to fail to make the medicine! Don't worry, I will fully support you. As soon as I arrive in Anmin Prefecture, I will go and get the money for you. You just need to focus on making the medicine!"
Doctor You thought to himself: That won't do! If I let you all make it to Anmingzhou alive, then it would be my mistake!
A flash of malice crossed his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Madam Zhang.
"Madam Zhang, I've recently developed another medicine, completely different from the previous ones, but I need a skilled person to test it!"
He moved closer to Zhang Niangzi, deliberately lowering his voice.
"If this medicine is successfully made, it can increase combat power a hundredfold. However, it lacks a precious auxiliary ingredient, so the resulting semi-finished product can only increase it by about tenfold!"
Zhang Niangzi's eyes shone with disbelief.
"Dr. You are truly a genius! Even the unfinished product you created is so amazing!"
A smile spread across Dr. You's face.
"This is a family heirloom technique, passed down through generations! Actually, these two medicines differ only in one auxiliary ingredient! If we could obtain that, we could definitely achieve the best results!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang couldn't wait any longer.
"Dr. You, if you trust me, I'll bring a skilled doctor to see you tonight. You can try it on him. If the effect is truly as you say, I will definitely find the auxiliary medicine you mentioned!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor You exclaimed, "Wow! He's taken the bait!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you after dinner!"
When Zhang Niangzi saw that he had agreed, her steps became much lighter as she went back to deliver the news…
He smiles at everyone he meets, and greets those he knows even slightly warmly!
If everyone didn't know her true colors, it would be hard to believe that such a kind-looking woman could actually be a vicious one!
After seeing her leave, Doctor You turned around and went to find Qin Ling and the others to have dinner!
When Zhang Niangzi returned to her lodgings, she told her companions what Doctor You had said.
Li Jun's analysis
"If what Doctor You said is true, then we must send someone skilled to test the medicine. A tenfold increase in power—we wouldn't even dare to dream of it!"
The group members also started discussing it.
"Exactly! The key question is, who's willing to go? After all, it's only half-finished; who dares to take the risk?"
"Yes! I'd like to go, but my skills are at the bottom. Even if it has miraculous effects, I'd only be at a mediocre level. Wouldn't that be a waste of the medicine?"
Seeing their cowardly expressions, Zhang Niangzi gritted her teeth in hatred.
"If you don't have the guts, then I'll go myself. Anyway, there's been no movement from Wu E and Yi'er!"
She got angry just thinking about those two.
"Yi'er is one thing, she's just a child, but what's wrong with Wu E? How did he suddenly enter a meditative state? Have you checked on him?"
