Chapter 640 Zhao Xi's Preparations
Unexpectedly, the person who was seriously injured and on the verge of death was healed by Miss Lu's brother.
Ma Lu knew about the Lu family's situation, and he had seen Zhao Xi driving a mule cart in and out of the village several times, but he really didn't know that this man was a doctor.
Zhao Xi smiled at Ma Lu and the others and nodded slightly. "Yes, I am indeed a doctor. My medical skills are not the best, but they are passable. I heard from A Yu earlier that you were going into the mountains to hunt tigers, which is commendable. As for me, I can't help you with the tiger hunt, but I was worried about my sister's safety, so I prepared some things for her."
As he spoke, Zhao Xi took out a bunch of paper packets from his medicine basket.
He continued laughing, "This is a medicinal powder I made from some herbs I bought when I went to the prefectural city a couple of days ago. There are medicines to repel snakes, insects, and rodents, medicines to treat external injuries, medicines to detoxify, medicines that can knock out an elephant, and medicines that can keep someone alive. I've written all the names on this paper package. Basically, I've made and brought everything I can think of."
Ma Lu and the others, "..."
They stared in shock at the paper packets, swallowing hard. These were incredibly useful.
At first, they were wondering why there were fewer snakes, insects, and rodents blocking their way after they went into the mountains with Shu Yu. Before, they had to be careful of the ground environment when they went into the mountains, which slowed down their pace.
After spending two days with them, I could roughly guess what they might be carrying to avoid these dangers.
But these were always closely guarded secrets, and people generally wouldn't tell others, so Ma Lu and the others wisely refrained from asking further questions. After all, following the two women meant they were also benefiting, at least in terms of significantly shortening the time it took to hunt their prey.
Ma Lu always thought the secret recipe belonged to the Fang family; after all, Fang's father was a hunter, so it was normal for him to have such skills.
But now it seems that this so-called secret recipe is just the medicine powder prepared by Lu's elder brother?
He not only had insect repellent powder, but also other, even better things. For those of them who had been exiled to Zhengdao Village, these powders were extremely precious.
No wonder Miss Lu said she would have to postpone her trip into the mountains for a few days; it turns out that what she meant by needing to go to the prefectural city to buy some life-saving supplies was this.
Zhao Xi was generous; he not only gave the powder to Shu Yu, but also distributed it to Ma Lu and the others.
"Since you're working together, I naturally won't leave you out. Here, take all of this. Be careful when you go into the mountains."
Ma Lu took the medicine packet, and after a long while, he said in a low voice, "Thank you."
With this information, he couldn't very well say he wouldn't take them into the mountains. They were going in to gather herbs, and weren't traveling with them anyway.
However, at this moment, Ma Lu actually hoped that he would be on her side.
With a doctor present, their safety was assured. Since the other person frequently went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, they must be familiar with the mountain paths.
As for Meng Yunzheng behind him... he shouldn't be someone who would collapse at the slightest breeze, right?
Ma Lu's gaze swept over Meng Yunzheng for a moment before quickly returning to Shu Yu and Zhao Xi, saying, "Alright, let's go then, it's getting late."
After they finished speaking, they prepared to go into the mountains.
Unbeknownst to anyone, shortly after they set off, several people began to secretly follow them.
The people from Team Five stood at the foot of the mountain, staring in the direction Shu Yu and the others had left, and sneered, "You two are a pair of adulterers."
