When Lu Youan heard that there was a doctor in the village, he was slightly stunned and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
He thought to himself that although Sujia Village looked ordinary, it was unusual in every way.
The villagers are united and act in an organized and disciplined manner. Now they know that there are many hidden talents in the village, with all kinds of talents.
No wonder they had such strong confidence to make the long journey to Jeju.
Being able to travel with such a team is undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for Uncle Hu and me.
So he hurriedly said, "Then please ask the village chief to take Uncle Hu to see a doctor. I will lead everyone to get the horse back."
The village chief nodded solemnly and replied firmly, "Okay, don't worry, I'll take him to see a doctor right away."
After saying that, the village chief took Uncle Hu and hurried towards where Doctor Bai was.
As Lu Youan led everyone to slowly lead the horses back to the Sujia Village camp from afar, the sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet open space in the village, crisp and powerful.
The more than ten horses had bright coats and agile bodies. They walked with their heads held high, showing their heroic posture and noble temperament.
Upon hearing the noise, the villagers gathered around, and in an instant, the road was blocked.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on these horses, their eyes full of amazement and shock.
They chatted with each other and had a clearer understanding of the wealth of Mr. Lu.
In those turbulent times, ordinary families could hardly afford to feed themselves, let alone raise horses.
And this young man in front of me can own so many horses. It can be imagined that his family must have a deep foundation and he is indeed from a wealthy family.
Lu Youan hurriedly followed everyone's instructions to Dr. Bai's residence and found the village chief.
With a sincere look on his face, he said, "Village Chief, we still have eleven horses. I see that you have relatively few carriages. With so much supplies on this journey, it would be much more convenient if we had more vehicles. Therefore, we plan to let you use our remaining nine horses to pull the carriages, so that we can all reach Jeju safely."
When the village chief heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and a look of joy appeared on his face.
There were not many carriages in their village to begin with. Although they had managed to bring back a few horses by chance last time, the number of carriages was still insufficient.
Now that Lu Youan has offered to give up his horse, it is undoubtedly a timely help.
But he felt a little guilty, with a look of shyness and embarrassment on his face. He waved his hands and said, "This, this is not good. How can I use your horses?"
Seeing this, Lawrence Lu smiled heartily, his smile full of sincerity: “Village chief, it’s okay, we have so many horses anyway, we really don’t need so many.
It's perfect for the villagers to use. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to accommodate so many horses. It's better to make the best use of them and let them contribute to everyone's journey."
Hearing his earnest words, the village chief slowly nodded, his heart full of gratitude and relief, and agreed to Lu Youan's proposal.
Afterwards, the village chief hurried to the place where the horses were kept, but saw only an open space with horses leisurely wagging their tails, but no matching vehicles.
He frowned, thought for a moment, then turned around and quickly arranged for his second son, Su Yuannan, "Yuannan, Master Lu generously gave us nine horses, but we don't have enough carts right now. Hurry and make a few carts while it's still early."
Su Yuannan nodded in agreement and quickly gathered several skilled craftsmen in the village to prepare the materials and tools needed to make the cart, ready to get to work.
When everyone heard the village chief tell about Mr. Lu's good deeds and knew that these horses would help transport supplies for the village, they all admired Mr. Lu's generosity.
Seeing this, they spontaneously organized themselves. The young and middle-aged men picked up axes and saws and walked towards the woods surrounding the camp in groups of three or five.
For a moment, the woods were filled with the "dong dong" sound of felling trees and the "zizi" sound of sawing wood, which came one after another, interweaving into a labor melody full of enthusiasm.
Everyone has a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for felling, some focus on sawing, and others clean branches and bark.
With concerted efforts, the wood was quickly processed into suitable shapes and sizes.
After several hours of hard work, five brand new and sturdy carts gradually took shape under everyone's skillful hands.
After the village chief left, Lawrence Lu hurried to Uncle Hu's side, his eyes fixed on Uncle Hu's tightly wrapped abdomen, his brows furrowed, his face full of worry. Concern was evident in his voice as he softly asked Doctor Bai, "Doctor, is Uncle Hu's wound serious?"
Doctor Bai raised his eyes, his expression calm, and said in a steady tone, "Don't worry. This wound looks scary, but fortunately it's not a vital injury. As long as you take good care of it, it will slowly heal in about half a month. It won't be a big deal."
When Lu Youan heard this, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Now, Uncle Hu is the only one left by his side. If Uncle Hu is gone, he will be truly isolated and helpless on the rest of his journey.
Fortunately, Uncle Hu is fine. As long as Uncle Hu can get better as soon as possible, no matter how difficult the journey to Jeju is, we will always have someone to rely on, someone who can discuss and fight side by side with us.
Thinking of this, a look of relaxation appeared on Lawrence Lu’s face.
Before going to bed, Lu Youan was full of worries. He thought he would spend the night tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.
Unexpectedly, after lying on the simple bed for a while, his consciousness gradually became blurred and he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, at dawn, before the first ray of sunlight completely penetrated the clouds, the people of Sujia Village were gradually waking up.
Lu Youan slowly opened his eyes as the villagers got up one after another. He blinked his sleepy eyes, and after regaining consciousness, he quickly got up.
At this time, Uncle Hu had been busy in front of the stove for a long time, cooking a pot of steaming and fragrant porridge, and was waiting for him to enjoy it with a smile.
After the meal, Uncle Hu planned to continue riding so that he could keep an eye on the surrounding situation at any time.
But Lu Youan frowned slightly, his eyes determined, and insisted that Uncle Hu lie down in the carriage to recuperate on the grounds that Uncle Hu's abdominal injury had not yet healed.
Lu Youan folded his hands in front of his chest with a serious expression. His unyielding look was very much like the majestic master he once was.
Seeing how persistent he was, and knowing that the young master was concerned about him, Uncle Hu had no choice but to smile wryly and nod in agreement.
Lu Youan immediately found the village chief and politely and sincerely explained their situation and needs to him.
The village chief was kind-hearted and immediately called out, and soon he found an experienced villager to help them drive the cart.
Lu Youan and Uncle Hu quickly packed their luggage and belongings. After everything was ready, they hurriedly set off with the Sujia Village team.
