Xu Yuehuai saw that the other person was an exceptionally short man, whose facial features were compacted into a fist-like shape on his head, making him look like a monster.
"Are you also from another race?"
"Isn't it obvious?" The man twirled the throwing knife in his hand, staring threateningly at Xu Yuehuai. "Now that you know my identity, hand over the item."
Xu Yuehuai was a little confused, having no idea what the other party was referring to. However, whatever it was, she would never easily hand it over to the aliens.
"Don't even think about it!"
She drew her long sword from her waist and launched the first attack in a flash.
"Ha! Overestimating yourself!" Suddenly, the two throwing knives in the man's hand merged into one, becoming longer and thinner, like a long bamboo pole with a sharp blade. It fused with the power of the magic, instantly increasing its lethality.
The weapons of the two sides clashed, sparks flew, and a large area of the surrounding grass was set ablaze.
"After fighting for so long, he seems to have other plans. I'm probably no match for him." Xu Yuehuai knew she couldn't succeed at this moment, so she started thinking about an escape route.
"With your meager skills, you dare to say I'm overestimating myself? I think you're just too arrogant." She deliberately provoked her opponent, and taking advantage of the chaos in their attack, she quickly found an opening, slipped into the fog, and used the fog as cover to flee rapidly along the path.
They fled frantically, increasing their speed! And then, even faster! They covered ten miles in no time!
But when she stopped, she found that she had nothing on her except Bei Ye's sword.
I had collected some herbs and wild fruits a few days ago, but now I've lost them all!
Xu Yuehuai sighed, forced a smile, comforted herself, and headed towards the nearby town.
She is now penniless, without food or water, and covered in wounds. She has to catch her breath after walking a few steps, and is suffering greatly and is exhausted.
When another morning came, we finally arrived in the town.
Xu Yuehuai has nothing else to offer but cooking skills, medical skills, and martial arts.
In this small town, everyone eats at home, so it's not easy for her to demonstrate her martial arts skills since she's injured.
Let's set up a stall and use our medical skills to exchange for some food!
Xu Yuehuai picked up a piece of charcoal from the ground and wrote on the wall: "Ancestral craft, free medical treatment, no charge if you can't cure, just give me some food if you do!"
"No money if you can't cure me, but you have to eat if you are cured? A woman practicing medicine at a street stall?"
"They're definitely here to scam food from our town!"
"How could she possibly have any medical skills?"
"I think he's not even as good as the barefoot doctor from the next village!"
"Maybe they're just using us as practice. Even if we kill her, they probably won't have to pay much compensation."
"It's better not to go up there and act as a punching bag!"
When the townspeople first met her, they didn't believe in her medical skills at all. They whispered among themselves and cast strange glances at her from time to time.
But Xu Yuehuai knew that her medical skills might be the last resort to save her life, and no matter what, she could not back down!
She then picked up some broken planks and other debris from the roadside and set up a makeshift medical stall in the best spot at the intersection.
But a day passed and still no one paid any attention; it seemed that people really didn't trust her.
However, the next day, a woman with a child passed by her medical stall.
Xu Yuehuai glanced at the child and noticed that the child looked sickly and was coughing incessantly, indicating that he had been ill for a long time.
Isn't this an opportunity?
Xu Yuehuai quickly went over, gently took the child's hand, and began to make a rapid diagnosis.
She accurately diagnosed the illness: "Has your child caught a cold?"
"It seems like there's still some undigested food in the food, and the medication wasn't taken correctly. It's been more than a month since then, and the symptoms have become quite severe."
"Doctor, can you cure him? Everyone says Da Hu is beyond saving!" The woman was shocked and immediately saw her as a lifeline, so she knelt down with her child.
“This isn’t a particularly difficult illness to treat. Listen to me, I’ll prescribe some medicine for him to take home, and he’ll get better soon.” Xu Yuehuai hurriedly asked the woman to fetch some paper.
Xu Yuehuai then wrote down the prescription and handed it to the woman.
"This medicine is so simple, can it really work?" the woman asked, half believing and half doubting.
"Listen to me, let's try anything, even if it's a last resort." Xu Yuehuai pushed the woman away, urging him to hurry up and prepare medicine for the child.
Desperate to save her son, the woman quickly took the prescription and left.
After the woman bought the medicine and returned home, she brewed it for the child and fed it to him. The child's condition was indeed brought under control very quickly, and he ate three large bowls of rice that day.
"My son actually got better! That woman is a miracle doctor!"
"If it weren't for her, my son would probably have passed away long ago!"
The woman quickly packed up a lot of dry food and fruit, returned to Xu Yuehuai's medicine stall, handed everything over to her, and thanked her repeatedly with her child.
The town was small, with people coming and going. Xu Yuehuai cured a seriously ill child with a very simple medicine. The news spread quickly throughout the town, and the people rushed to her for treatment.
"Take your time, everyone. I'm going to stay here for about half a month and make sure to heal everyone in your town before I leave."
After Xu Yuehuai had everyone line up, she patiently and meticulously treated each person.
Her medical skills were gradually proven in the process of treating everyone, and people from the surrounding towns all came here. In the following days, her medicine stall was completely covered up, and the line stretched all the way to the archway outside the village.
After working for almost half a month, Xu Yuehuai finally managed to cure all the seriously ill people in the neighborhood, and he earned everyone's respect and love.
On the day she was to leave, the townspeople spontaneously came to see her off, looking at her with reluctance and gratitude.
An old woman came over, took her hand, and held it tightly. "My benefactor! You are a living bodhisattva sent from heaven to our town! Without you, I probably wouldn't be here with these old bones!"
"Thank you so much for helping everyone!" someone nearby also expressed their gratitude.
"I should thank you for relieving my urgent need." Thanks to her medical skills, Xu Yuehuai had recently accumulated a lot of dry food and travel expenses, which was more than enough for her journey.
"I'm leaving now, you don't need to see me off."
"Miracle doctor! Take care on your journey! Remember to come back and visit us often!"
"When you come again, we'll arrange the best food and drinks for you!"
Xu Yuehuai smiled and replied, "Okay! Goodbye! I'll come see you all again!"
As everyone watched her go, she turned and rode away on the donkey given to her by the wealthy farmer.
In the vast twilight, Xu Yuehuai slowly left, while everyone remained where they were, watching the direction she went.
