Chapter 108: Hurrying on the Road
The next day, Xu Zhiyi discussed with everyone. Now that Shen Changan's leg problem had been solved, they planned to start their journey!
The head of the village heard what Xu Zhiyi said and agreed: "We have been disturbing Miss A Yue for quite some time. Now that Chang An's leg is fine, it's time for us to leave! If Miss A Yue has something to do, it would be bad if we stay here all the time and delay her!"
Doctor Li, who was standing by, couldn't help sighing when he heard this. Alas, these past few days, he had been asking Miss A Yue for medical advice whenever he got the chance, but in the end, he only got two chances!
Alas, I really don't know how this girl A Yue can eat so much and sleep so much at the same time. All day long, when she is free, she is either busy eating or busy sleeping. He even has little time to ask her for medical advice.
After lunch, everyone told Miss A Yue about their plan to continue their journey.
After hearing this, Ah Yue nodded and said, "Okay, we'll meet again someday if we're lucky."
It just so happened that she had originally planned to tell them that she was leaving, but now she didn't have to tell them! Besides, she was going to Lincheng, and they were all going in different directions, so they had to separate.
"Hey, Miss Yue, we are destined to be together."
Just when everyone was packing up, Xu Zhiyi brought in several cart wheels from outside. Xu Zhiyi had put all the cart wheels into the space at that time, and now he took them out again to try to see if they could still be installed.
She also checked carefully and found that there were no special marks on the wheels. They were all the same and she would never recognize them as her own wheels.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the wheels of the cart that Xu Zhiyi was pushing.
Village head: "Zhiyi, where did these wheels come from? Weren't the wheels of our cart lost at the foot of the mountain that day?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi pointed outside and said, "Oh, I was walking on the opposite mountain today, and there happened to be a few cart wheels on the side of the mountain road. They must have been thrown away by other people who fled from famine!"
"Perhaps, they may also encounter danger and abandon the wheels like us?"
Lin Yu took the cart wheel from Xu Zhiyi, compared it with the others, and said excitedly, "It fits. This wheel is suitable for our cart. Haha, now we can have a cart again."
When everyone heard this, they all came over to take a look, and were very happy to see that it really fit. Now everyone worked together to hammer and pound, and after most of the day, they finally installed the wheels for the cart.
Finally, there were still two families whose carts were not big enough for wheels, so everyone suggested that they put the luggage on the cart that could be used, except for Xu Zhiyi's family, after all, she had to leave room on her cart for Shen Changan.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the cart wheels from the two families. In fact, she deliberately did not take out all of them in her space. Otherwise, everyone would have seen the cart wheels that appeared by coincidence, and it would have been even more coincidental that the numbers matched. That would have aroused too much suspicion, so she deliberately did not take out enough.
The next morning, everyone got up and prepared breakfast, which was the last breakfast they had with Miss A Yue. After eating, everyone started to pack up!
Everyone took their water bags and buckets to the puddle in the back mountain that Miss A Yue mentioned and filled them with water.
Shen Wuyou also carried Shen Changan on the cart. Everything was ready. After waving goodbye to Miss A Yue who was standing at the door of the bamboo house, they set off again on their journey.
Just when everyone had walked a long way, A Yue caught up with them from behind.
Ah Yue walked up to Xu Zhiyi and angrily stuffed the purse in her hand into her arms: "Xu Zhiyi, you secretly stuffed money into her again. If I hadn't opened the bookcase that hadn't been used for a long time, I really wouldn't have found it. I told you that the reward is two servings of food per meal, and you still secretly stuffed money into her arms. What does that mean? Do you look down on me?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi opened her mouth and quickly apologized: "Beautiful Ayue, I swear, I absolutely don't mean to look down on you. I just thought about the medicine you gave my husband to treat his leg. Grandpa Li said that you used Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in your prescription. These are all precious medicines. How could I let you pay for it for nothing?"
When Ah Yue heard the word "beauty", her anger subsided a little: "Humph, I've already said that the compensation you give me is the food rations during my leg treatment. You are not allowed to give me anything else."
Shen Changan: "Miss Ayue, my wife is right. You also bought the medicine for the leg from the pharmacy with silver. How can you let us see the doctor for free?"
Su, who was standing by, heard this and said, "Miss Yue, since you don't want money, we have to give you some food. Otherwise, where can you, a woman, buy food in this wilderness?"
Ah Yue: "No, I have to go out to do some work after today anyway. The master said that he will provide me with food and clothing! So you should save your food for the journey!"
As he said this, he took out a medical book from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Doctor Li beside him: "Here, old man, this is for you. Go back and think about it carefully."
Doctor Li took the medical book and excitedly flipped through two pages. After seeing all the treasures inside, he knelt on the ground and shouted to Ah Yue: "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"
After hearing this, Ah Yue jumped aside in shock and waved her hands: "No, no, no, I don't accept disciples. Besides, you are so much older than me, you will call me old."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Li quickly said, "Master, in my heart, you will always be young."
Ah Yue looked at Doctor Li and couldn't bear to watch. She threatened him deliberately, "I won't accept any apprentices. If you insist, I'll take the book back!"
Doctor Li got up quickly after hearing this and stuffed the book into his arms, hugging it tightly: "Miss Yue, I won't call you Master anymore. You are not allowed to take the book back again, okay?"
Ah Yue waved her hand and said: "Okay, as long as you don't take me as your master, the book will be yours."
After saying this, he was afraid that everyone might do something else, so he quickly waved goodbye and ran away.
Everyone looked at Miss A Yue's back and smiled helplessly. They didn't start to hurry on their way until she was out of sight anymore.
A Yue returned to the bamboo house, packed her bag simply, and put all the medicines in the yard that Doctor Li had said had gone bad into the bag.
Then he sat on a chair, fetched some water in a wooden basin, lowered his head and soaked his entire face in the water. After waiting for a while, he raised his head and slowly tore off a piece of fake face skin from behind his ear with his hands.
Her true appearance was revealed: a fair and delicate oval face, long and thin eyebrows, and a small mole next to the bridge of the nose. Although she was not stunning at first glance, the more you looked at her, the more elegant and refined she seemed.
A Yue carried two big bags and went out. After locking the gate, a man appeared beside her. A Yue threw the two big bags to him and walked ahead.
The man was stunned for a moment when he saw Ah Yue’s true face, then he hurried after her with two big bags on his back. He had finally persuaded her to come out of the mountain, so he had to treat her with care!
