Mulansheng's expression on the bed also changed. He and Yun Miao looked at each other, and both of them felt a tacit sense of crisis.
"I say, that group of people outside are searching for someone in the nearby pharmacies! Fortunately, our pharmacy is hidden and was not discovered by them. It seems that this group of people are not easy to deal with. They are probably bandits or something like that. Ah... No, I said that this meat pie is so hard to find." The medicine boy counted the two cents in his palm back and forth, talking to himself, and did not take Yun Miao's question to heart at all.
Yun Miao quickly stood up and began packing her things in the room without hesitation. She asked, "How many people are there in that team you mentioned? What kind of people are they looking for in the pharmacy?"
"About twenty of them! I heard from three or two passersby that they entered the city around dusk. Most of the city's medical clinics have been searched. It seems they are looking for a man with a leg disease." The medicine boy was reminiscing when he suddenly realized something. He stared at Yun Miao and Mu Lansheng with wide eyes: "No, leg disease... Medical clinic, they are not coming for you!"
"That's right, it's those bandits. If you don't want to get into trouble, get out now and pretend you know nothing." Yun Miao calmly tossed a few simple packets of herbs and common medical tools into her bag, then began to help Mu Lansheng up from the bed. "Since they found the town so quickly, it means they came from the village. Luckily we ran fast! Otherwise, we'd probably all be chopped into pieces by now."
Fortunately, I made a last-minute decision to leave there today.
"Forget it." Unexpectedly, when facing Yun Miao who came to support him, Mulansheng gently pushed her away.
His handsome face was very calm, and his dark eyes were filled with some inexplicable emotions as he silently stared at the anxious woman in front of him: "Go away! I'm only a burden to you now."
In this situation, it seems that God will not allow him to survive.
Unexpectedly, Yun Miao slapped him on the shoulder fiercely: "What the hell, it's already this late, and you're still acting so hypocritically? Cut the crap, it's either we die together or we live together, come up quickly!"
She had already placed the wheelchair next to the bed. Although Mulansheng's legs were difficult to bend now, at least he could push it.
Mu Lansheng was puzzled, but he couldn't resist Yun Miao's stubbornness, so he could only cooperate with her to support his body.
Inaction at this time and continuing to delay will still harm her.
"I have snatched many people from the hands of the King of Hell in my life. I don't believe that I can't snatch you back." Yun Miao said.
Mulansheng's pupils trembled slightly, and his big hands, with veins bulging, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, trembling slightly.
The medicine boy looked at the busy Yun Miao. How could Yun Miao, with his frail body and carrying a young master with difficulty walking, outrun those burly bandits?
He looked at the two sickly and thin people and they didn't look like bad people.
Perhaps it was because he had taken the two cents from Yun Miao earlier, or perhaps it was because he was young and daring and didn't have any complicated thoughts, but the medicine boy gritted his teeth and walked forward, saying, "There's a back door in the backyard that leads to a river. There's a boatman who often fishes there and might be able to help you."
"Okay, thank you very much, little brother." Yun Miao was very grateful.
But it was really difficult for her to push Mulansheng by herself because his legs could not bend and had to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, the little medicine boy's sense of justice was overflowing. He immediately ran to the corner of the yard, pulled a cart, and whispered to Yun Miao, "Let him come over here!"
With the help of the medicine boy, Mulansheng was finally moved out of the room and laid on the cart.
It might be a bit difficult for Yun Miao to push the cart by herself now.
"Well, we must send the Buddha to the west and save people to the end. I will take you there!" The little medicine boy sighed.
Thanks to his help, the three of them successfully got out through the back door.
The back door was a dim alley, surrounded by bungalows with streets and alleys. Soon they disappeared into the complex dark corners.
Inside the clinic.
The old doctor, wearing his coat, was still looking through today's medical records in the front hall under the dim candlelight. Just as he was about to take a rest, he was startled by the intruders.
"You... who are you?" the old doctor looked up in surprise and asked.
The men and horses made way for a moment, and a one-eyed man walked in from the rear. He was the first of the group, forming two lines, the long swords in their hands still gleaming coldly in the candlelight.
"Sir, this is the last clinic. Its location is hidden, so we missed it during the daytime search and almost slipped through the net." The subordinate stepped forward to report.
The one-eyed man in front of him was slowly adjusting his robe sleeves. Upon hearing this, he slowly raised his head. Besides his remaining eye, there was also a scar at the corner of his eye, which made his already ferocious aura even more terrifying.
A confidant came forward and handed him the portrait.
He took it, then raised it with one hand, and the portrait unfolded and fell down.
The portrait shows a man with clear features and a long blond hair.
"Tell me! Has your clinic seen this man today?" Pei Lu asked coldly.
The old doctor was well-informed and naturally knew that this group of people were not to be trifled with. However, he still lowered his head and said, "No... I haven't seen them before."
"Really?" Pei Lu took the portrait away, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the old doctor's collar, saying in a cold voice, "If I find out you're lying, you know what will happen to you!"
A day of searching had made him increasingly irritable.
How could he miss the flash of guilt on the old doctor's face just now? He immediately waved his hand and said, "Search the yard!"
"My lord, there is no one in the yard." After a while, the subordinate came to report.
The old doctor's back was covered in cold sweat due to his nervousness. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "It's okay, it's okay."
However, the man stared at the old doctor's face and smiled, a smile that made the hairs on his head stand on end. He stood up and wiped the knife in his hand with his palm. "You know, even those who tell bad lies can't hide their lies well."
"I don't understand what you are saying. Since the search has yielded no results, please leave!" the old doctor said righteously.
Pei Lu looked at the stubborn old man, his smile slowly fading. "To be honest, I, Pei Lu, can extract clues from even the most cunning prisoner. Do you think your little tricks can escape my eyes?"
Today they searched for many medical clinics, and Yun Miao and Mu Lansheng had been seen in many of them.
This not only created a huge blind spot in his search, but also caused him to search every clinic door to door, which delayed him a lot of time and even caused an uproar in the city. Many clinics were afraid of getting into trouble and lied about not having seen the two.
Although I don't know whether Mulansheng did this deliberately to confuse the public, I have to say that he is very smart.
Just now, I thought this clinic was also one of their routes, and the old doctor just didn't want to get involved in trouble, so he lied to avoid harm.
But after searching the courtyard, the other party's relaxed body and expression told him: Mulansheng's residence is here!
