Chapter 14 Too Lucky
Soon, Dr. Chang's exclamation was heard in the carriage.
"Strange, could it be that my medical skills have improved a lot? How could he heal so quickly? It's really... strange."
Wei Da had a strange look on his face, feeling that what he said was not right, and quickly interrupted him.
"How is Brother Xue's injury? Can you continue on your journey?"
That hoarse voice sounded again.
"Can."
The response from inside the car was just one word, revealing a decisiveness that could not be refused.
Instead, the woman's expression changed and she walked to the carriage and whispered persuasion.
"Master was injured so badly before, it's better for him not to travel by boat or by train right now."
"Master?" the voice murmured repeatedly, as if not fully awake, and actually asked, "I am the master?"
The woman smiled and said, "Of course you are the master..."
The breeze lifted the curtain, and the man's bloodless face flashed through the gap. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes closed, as if he had not yet fully recovered.
"Since I am the master, I will leave if I say so."
The woman hurriedly took a few steps forward, wanting to continue persuading him, but was suddenly stared at by a pair of bloodshot eyes, and the words on her lips immediately disappeared.
She had never seen the master like this!
After all, after walking through a dead end, the poor scholar, who exuded a sour and pedantic air, was able to muster some courage...
Knowing that some things cannot be rushed, the woman nodded respectfully.
Since the victim had made it clear that he would not pursue the matter, Wei Da naturally took the opportunity to back off. He glanced in the direction of the Shen family and waved his hand to signal them to leave.
Chen Chunxing wanted to get closer, but Diao held his wrist tightly, so he had to put his doubts aside for the time being and followed the main force.
If she had not seen it wrong before, the person in the carriage had clearly reached death. How could he come back to life without any merit to ward off disaster and without the intervention of cause and effect?
Compared with all the things in the world, that face that looked much younger than in his memory obviously aroused Chen Chunxing's interest more.
But only a little.
In the following days, she would occasionally cast her inquiring eyes towards the carriage.
Unfortunately, no one came out.
Although the young county magistrate was awake, he seemed to be still unconscious.
He neither showed up nor spoke much, which was beyond the imagination of onlookers. The woman was still in charge of everything.
Chen Chunxing's curiosity never lasted long. After two days, he no longer deliberately approached the carriage.
She really had a lot of things to do and couldn't focus her limited energy on someone who had nothing to do with the Shen family.
The rest of the people also had no interest in hearing gossip.
This melon is not that melon. It can neither fill your stomach nor moisten your throat.
The further north they went, the poorer the land became. Everyone was worried that one day they wouldn't even have enough steamed bread to eat.
We continued on this journey for another seven or eight days.
Wei Da's face became uglier day by day. He kept urging everyone to speed up, and even lost his temper and whipped a few people who fell behind the team.
"How can his temper change so suddenly..." Diao was shocked.
As strong as she was, she didn't dare to hold on at this moment. She obediently changed seats with Shen Chunxing and sat on the cart with Shen Yandong in her arms.
After walking for more than half a month, without enough food to eat or sleep well, even a person in good health would be exhausted.
"How can we not be anxious when we are about to run out of food?" Chen Chunxing said something fair.
Nowadays, even the officials have to survive on steamed buns. Old Zhang has taken good care of the Shen family and never given them more food when distributing rations.
It seems to explain the problem.
The place where everyone is now is in Yuzhou. There are refugees everywhere, and it is rare to get dry food in the post station.
If you don't leave early, something unexpected might happen.
Chen Chun had been to Yuanxi Town and naturally knew the horror of food prices.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford it that day, but that the "Shen family" shouldn't have it.
At least before reaching the border, the Shen family will have to lie down for a while.
But this won't work. Adults can endure it, but children can't.
Especially the third one...
Feeling someone falling sideways beside him, Chen Chunxing subconsciously helped him up.
It really comes true.
Shen Mingqiu's face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to have gathered all his strength, but strangely he couldn't move.
"You little bastard, you're just making trouble!"
Shen Zhixia hurriedly ran to the cart, and Diao immediately slapped something into her hand.
It was thinly sliced old mountain ginseng.
Fortunately, I had kept a trick when I stewed the soup, which saved Shen Mingqiu's life.
But it was impossible to move forward, and there was another burden on the cart.
But he wouldn't lie down properly, always twisting and turning, poking Yang Yi with an unwilling look.
Chen Chunxing... turned the brat over and made him sit with his face stern and reflect on his mistakes.
After the incident, he encouraged Yang Yi: "You are the most manly person in the whole family, hold on."
Shen Mingqiu immediately twisted himself into a pretzel.
"Don't tease him anymore. If he does something bad, it'll cost me another ginseng!"
Diao tried hard to keep a straight face, fearing that she would laugh and ruin her stern image.
"Okay, I won't tease him anymore. I'll tease you from now on."
Chen Chunxing laughed, and his eyes focused slightly when they met a certain place, and a clearer smile immediately appeared on his lips.
She lowered her voice and sighed to the person beside her: "I really don't know whether the third child has a bad fate or is too blessed."
Why do you always survive in desperate situations?
Yang Yi raised his head and glanced at the mountain people who had appeared beside the team at some point, carrying a bundle of firewood on their backs.
He showed the same innocent smile as Shen Chunxing.
The mountain people were initially quite far away from the team, so they were not questioned by the officers.
When he was taking a break at noon, he saw a group of people lying on the ground pretending to be turtles, so he quietly approached them.
When the mountain people found that those people were holding a pile of weeds as treasures, pulling them out as they walked, as if they wanted to dig three feet into the ground, they walked closer.
Anyone here would be curious.
He observed secretly, quickly selected a candidate, and asked in a very heavy accent:
"Girl, where are you from?"
Chen Chunxing was walking among the crowd holding a medicine basket. He raised the corner of his mouth subtly when he heard the words, and when he turned around, there was a look of confusion on his face.
"We are coming from Lin'an City and heading north. What can I do for you, old man?"
The mountain man looked to be in his early forties at most. Being called "father-in-law" by a little girl made him feel a little unhappy. He forced a smile and said, "Nothing, nothing. I'm just curious. Your way of traveling... is quite unusual."
Chen Chunxing looked in the direction the mountain man pointed and happened to see Li with her butt sticking out, pulling weeds under a tree.
While pulling, she had to stretch out her arms to prevent others from getting close.
Wei Da, who was passing by, frowned, opened his mouth slightly, then pursed it tightly, and glanced unkindly in the direction of the Shen family.
Chen Chunxing shrank his neck, daring only to laugh wildly in his heart, but a nervous expression appeared on his face.
"Alas, we are also trying to survive. We never know when we might get sick during this exile, so we can only prepare some herbs in advance."
"Is this medicinal herb?" The mountain people were very surprised when they heard this, and stretched their necks to look at the medicine basket in Chen Chunxing's arms.
I looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Chen Chunxing glanced around furtively, pointed towards the carriage, and looked a little proud.
"See? The one sitting outside is the famous Doctor Chang. It was out of his kindness that he showed us the way."
The mountain man narrowed his eyes.
He had never heard of the name Doctor Chang, but that carriage... it must be extraordinary to be able to accommodate a doctor.
"I see, that's really your blessing... Oh, it's getting late, I have to go home quickly."
Perhaps it was because the little girl looked too innocent and cooperated well, which made the mountain people let down their guard and they simply found a lame excuse to leave.
Chen Chunxing curled his lips.
He is not even professional in acting, and yet he dares to come and inquire about this. She despises him.
"What did that man say to you just now?"
The two of them were whispering for a long time and someone noticed them. Seeing Commander Wei walking towards the little girl with a sullen face, Old Zhang hurriedly asked a question.
"He asked us where we were from." Chen Chunxing answered truthfully.
"How did you reply?"
"I said I was passing through here on my way to exile," Chen Chunxing said lightly, stirring the herbs with his hands. "Then he asked about Doctor Chang and seemed quite interested in the herbs we collected. Perhaps he wanted to bring in some income for the family."
Wei Da, who had just walked over, stopped in his tracks. This time, his face was not only black, but also shiny black.
A pair of tiger eyes stared at Chen Chunxing as if he had seen a ghost.
Someone came to check out the idea, but ended up being checked by the little girl?
