Chapter 59 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land



Xiao Nanhui was choked and almost fell back on the bed. Wu Xiaoliu didn't care about her. He stood up quickly and walked to the side, pushing a wooden chair with wooden wheels over.

"Everyone in the village is waiting for your words."

There was a moment of silence in the air, but she felt that it did not represent true peace.

She struggled to sit up from the bed and moved to the wooden chair. Wu Xiaoliu then pushed her out of the house.

What meets the eye is red soil and fresh yellow-green dwarf shrubs.

This is the unique landform of Bijiang. The land that Xiao Zhun has always wanted to set foot on is spreading right under her feet.

She was a little excited, but then she thought about the hardships she had gone through every step of the way to get here, coupled with the dull pain in her foot, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Suddenly, she swept her eyes across the crowd, and a bright white object came into her sight like a grain of rice stuck in her field of vision.

Xiao Nanhui's tears, which were about to fall to the ground, were stuck in her eye sockets at that moment.

"Hao Bai?!"

The "white rice grain" obviously heard it, and shrank back into the crowd in a servile manner, but it became more obvious.

She was so excited that she almost stood up from the wheelchair, and was pushed back by Wu Xiaoliu who was standing beside her.

The people standing in the front row heard it clearly. One of them, a bearded man, was the first to speak: "Does the village chief recognize the doctor from the east?"

"Master Pan has just woken up, and his mind is still not clear..."

Xiao Nanhui pushed Wu Xiaoliu's fat face aside and said, "Of course I know him. He owed me a horse and I remember the debt very clearly."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man and several other large men around him stood up and said, "So that's how it is. Don't worry, village chief. Leave him to us. Within half a day, we will bring you his grandfather's chamber pot."

After they finished speaking, they burst into laughter.

Xiao Nanhui didn't find it funny, and neither did Hao Bai. But as the men watched, they began to approach him, and he could only look toward the woman in the wheelchair for help.

Xiao Nanhui lowered his head, looked at the two bows on his feet, and sighed, "Forget it, at least he saved my life."

Hao Bai, who was not far away, seemed to have heard it. He raised his head with hope and straightened his body.

The next second, the woman's slow and leisurely voice came over.

"Strip them and bring them to my room."

******************

Xiao Nanhui had never expected that the people in this village would be so quick and easy in stripping people's clothes. When Hao Bai was thrown into her room naked, it was only a cup of tea after she had spoken.

Well, I guess the previous village chief had ordered them to do things like this many times.

"Yao! We are acquaintances after all. I treated your leg out of kindness, and you humiliated me! Isn't that the behavior of a gentleman?! I'm just a doctor, and I've never been treated like this before. If you really want to do that to me, I, I, I... I'd rather die!"

The man on the bed had been chattering non-stop since he was thrown in. Fortunately, he spoke Lingdong Mandarin, which the Southern Qiang people could hardly understand.

Xiao Nanhui picked his ears and dug out some more sand.

She didn't want to be like this, but having multiple men was the norm in Bijiang Village. If she wanted to pass herself off as Pan Meir's sister, she'd better not be too unusual. It was better to pick someone she knew than someone she didn't.

Hao Bai's hands and feet were tied behind his back in a very humiliating posture. Now he was saying so many words in anger, and he was a little breathless. He looked very pitiful.

After a while, the footsteps of the people outside the door finally faded away. Xiao Nanhui signaled Wu Xiaoliu to untie the rope on Hao Bai and threw him a set of indigo coarse cloth clothes without looking in the direction of the bed.

The other party looked like a young lady whose innocence had been ruined. If she really went to the Marquis' Mansion in the future and was seen by Du Juan, she might really have to marry a quack doctor.

"Your white clothes are too conspicuous. We don't have such good bleaching and dyeing technology here. It's obvious that you are from outside."

Hao Bai quickly put on the clothes and huddled in a corner of the bed with lingering fear.

Xiao Nanhui turned around when he heard the voice, looking at the other person with a bit of amusement, and was also puzzled: "Why did you come here instead of staying in Wancheng?"

"It's because..." Hao Bai was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt like a chicken with its neck strangled.

The man's face and the words he had warned him appeared in his mind.

A month ago, he had been planning to go to Tiancheng. The secret seal incident had caused quite a stir within the clan, and the clan elders had asked him to go there in person to confirm a few matters. However, before he could even set foot outside of Wancheng, the person he was looking for showed up.

Ever since he knew the identity of that person, he could no longer play dumb. The whole clan was also a little trembling with fear. When that person simply asked him to be the accompanying medical officer, he was almost relieved and agreed without much thought.

Haha, after spending a few days with that person, he should have known that things were not that simple.

As expected, they went westward, and the path became more and more outrageous. By the time he reacted, they had reached the border between Tongcheng and Suyan.

Even if he was dumb, he knew something about what had happened recently, but he hadn't expected that person to investigate in person. Every night when he closed his eyes in confusion, he would think of some of the rumors among the people.

Daughters resemble their fathers, and sons resemble their mothers.

My biological mother is a lunatic, so maybe that man's personality is a bit like hers.

It's not surprising that there are a few crazy people in this big world. But who is not good enough? It has to be that person.
