Chapter 169: Escape, There is No Way to Escape



Tang Chen knew they had misunderstood and quickly explained, "What are you thinking about? Xihe is at Yan Shaoqing's place and is in a very bad condition. Let's go get her."

Zhong Qin said that in order to prevent fraud, it would be better to let someone capable go with him: "I'm out on business, so let Nianqing go with me."

"Okay," Tang Chen said, fiddling with the jewelry she was going to wear in front of the dressing table while making arrangements: "By the way, Zhong Qin, quickly have someone notify Hei Ya and tell him that Xihe is in Qinghe. Tell him to finish his work and return quickly."

"clear."

After Chen Xin and Liang Shuyi exchanged glances, they held hands and suggested, "Let Chen Xin go with you. If anything happens to Miss Xihe, you won't have to look for a doctor everywhere."

After Tang Chen looked at Shen Xin, he asked, "What will you do if he leaves?"

Zhong Qin interjected at the right moment, "The midwives and delivery room doctors in the mansion have all been prepared early in the morning, so there's nothing to worry about."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Chen nodded and said, "...Okay, then Chen Xin, come with me to take a look. You are about to give birth, so be careful."

Liang Shuyi smiled and said, "You can go without worry. It's much safer than Qinghe. Besides, your godfather and godmother set out more than half a month ago. They should be able to reach Qingliang Valley in ten days or so."

After confirming that everything was ready at the mansion, Tang Chen and the other two rode their horses and headed for Qinghe County. As for when Tang Chen learned to ride a horse? It was impossible to learn to ride a horse, not in this lifetime. He could only keep up his pace by having the two younger brothers take turns leading him.

...Tang Chen and Hei Ya rushed back to Qinghe County almost at the same time. After finding Yan Shaoqing under the guidance of the agent, they looked at Xihe who was barely breathing on the bed. As a doctor, Chen Chen immediately took out his food and started to check it.

Everyone waited with bated breath for a long time, and only when they saw him stop did they dare to ask, "How is it?"

Chen Xin sighed deeply. This was the first time in his life that he had seen Xihe in such a state. It could be said that in all the medical texts he had read throughout history, her physical condition had only existed as a conjecture. "It's serious, but it shouldn't be serious. Miss Xihe has a special physique. With a good rest for a year or two, she should be fine."

Although Shen Xin's words were inconsistent, no one bothered to ask in detail and just said, "Then hurry up and write a prescription."

After taking off his deerskin gloves, Chen Xin shook his head and said, "It's useless. Miss Xihe must be immune to poisons due to acquired factors, and there are toxins in her blood. Medicine and stones have almost no effect on her. She can only rely on herself."

Tang Chen rubbed his temples and said, "She's not in a good condition to travel far. So, Chen Xin, you go back and take care of Shu Yi first, and Nian Qing can stay. When she's better, we'll rush back."

Chen Xin had been worried about Liang Shuyi since he left the house. Since he was no longer of much use, he hurried back: "Okay, the tavern is relatively safe. We'll move the person there carefully. If anything goes wrong, we'll quickly find Doctor Xiahou to take a look."

The substitute boy said, "Doctor Xiahou said he went out to buy herbs and hasn't been here for a while. But it's okay. Qinghe is so big, there are many good doctors."

After quietly placing Xihe in the Liuxiang Tavern according to Yan Shaoqing's instructions, Tang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a break: "I was so busy just now that I didn't have time to pay attention to you."

Yan Shaoqing smiled and said, "With your care, the girl will probably get better in a while."

Tang Chen also said: "Probably, it should be fine. Come to think of it, how come you are with Xihe?"

Yan Shaoqing explained, "I heard that there were ghosts around Xiaoshan, so I went there for a walk. I didn't expect that in the middle of the night when I was sleeping soundly, this girl suddenly ran out from the bushes."

Tang Chen was stunned. Did Yan Shaoqing also like those weird things? He dared to sleep in the wild even though he knew it was haunted. He must be a tough guy. "Camping is so scary..."

Yan Shaoqing met Xihe by chance. Xihe smelled the scent on him and knew that he was Tang Chen's friend, so she asked him to find a way to help her.

"She's only awake for an hour or two a day. She told me it was like someone was hunting her. I couldn't get any information out of her, so I took her on a small path through the woods. It took us over a month to get back."

Tang Chen sighed and said, "She was lucky to meet you. I'll ask her in detail when she wakes up."

Yan Shaoqing had been in Qinghe for a long time. It was already autumn. If it dragged on until winter, the road would be difficult to travel. "Okay, I've sent the people here, so I'll leave first."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Chen hurriedly grabbed his bag and said, "Leave? Where are you going?"

Yan Shaoqing said, "We had originally planned to go to Xiaoshan to see the ghosts and then go outside the Great Wall. If we wait a few more days and it snows, we won't be able to go outside the Great Wall."

Tang Chen persisted and asked, "The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low, and you can see cattle and sheep. Even if you really want to eat mutton, you don't have to go so far."

Yan Shaoqing then said, "I heard that there are witches on the grassland who can communicate with gods and ghosts. I want to go and see them."

Tang Chen was silent for a long while before slowly releasing his hand and saying, "...The dead cannot be resurrected, and she doesn't want you to give up pursuing your own happiness just because you miss her."

Yan Shaoqing, however, did not think so: "I feel very happy as I am now. In this vast world, there are three thousand dreams, and I also want to travel around and see."

The glint in Yan Shaoqing's eyes made Tang Chen feel distressed. These were probably the only things he wanted to do right now. If he wasn't allowed to go, what would he do if he became depressed someday?

"Forget it. Looking at your expression, I really don't know how to convince you. Don't worry, I will send people to visit the old lady from time to time."

Yan Shaoqing jokingly said, "With your solid backing, I really have nothing to worry about. Well, I'm leaving now."

Tang Chen warned: "Be careful on the road, be careful, if you encounter bad guys and can't beat them, run away!"

After Yan Shaoqing left, he kept talking as he walked, looking back every step of the way to urge Tang Chen to go back to the store: "Okay, go back, I will send you some local specialties."

After exiting the towering gates of Qinghe County, Yan Shaoqing fondled the jade pendant in his arms and murmured to himself, "Ah Sheng, how about we head outside the Great Wall and see some of the scenery out there? While you were gone, I've visited many places we haven't been to before and heard many interesting stories. I'll tell you more later."
