Chapter 122 Going back won't be easy
This must have been burned once, then water was added, and it was stewed a second time.
It had a bitter and burnt taste, and there was also too much salt.
That's not all, but Lu Qingqing actually discovered the gall bladder!
"This young Zhang, he's truly gifted to be a hunter!"
Some hunters don't even know how to clean internal organs!
"The pieces of meat are cut quite evenly."
"Maybe... we shouldn't eat it." Xu Rui shifted his body uncomfortably.
"It's still edible. At least it's meat. Even if it tastes bad, it can't be worse than bran and vegetables, right?"
Lu Qingqing ate two chicken legs and two chicken wings, while Xu Rui only ate one piece of meat.
Looking at the rest, she picked out the pieces of meat, planning to make stir-fried chicken with garlic and chili for dinner.
She poured the chicken soup into a bowl and left it for Sixi's dog.
Then I washed the pot.
He then asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Xu Rui took out the book "Tales of the World" and told her that Qu Shan already knew.
He didn't ask the reason, but only asked Lu Qingqing if she wanted to see Qu Shan.
"not see."
Lu Qingqing flipped through the book; those few pages had already been torn out.
Despite the book being a completely fabricated story, Naqushan took it quite seriously, correcting mistakes and adding notes.
It reminds me of when I was a kid and my teacher criticized my essays.
Sigh, thinking about it, it's also my fault for offending the teacher's eyes.
"Okay, then I'll send him away."
"Thanks."
"No need to thank me. Also... the main reason I came here today is to tell Wan Yuting that you don't need to worry about him. Even if he knows about that matter, he can't cause any trouble."
It's not him who will bring you danger.
What is that?
Lu Qingqing stared at Xu Rui seriously, signaling him to explain.
"Your danger lies in your choice to practice medicine and save lives."
With your abilities, you'll soon become famous.
Once the reputation spreads, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Holy Healer Sect. Since the Holy Healer Sect changed its leader twenty years ago, it is no longer the Holy Healer Sect that was indifferent to fame and fortune and took saving the world as its mission.
They will recruit you to their side, but if you refuse, they will eliminate those who disagree with them.
Lu Qingqing was surprised to hear this.
It's that Holy Physician Sect again.
The Holy Physician School is the most authoritative medical school in the country.
In those bustling metropolises, he held great prestige.
Quite a few people know about their small town of Ming'an.
"The Holy Physician Sect is so arrogant, does it have strong connections in the imperial court?" Lu Qingqing asked.
"They are very powerful and have close ties with the royal family. The poison in my body was administered by the Holy Physician Sect."
Holy crap, it's as hard as a diamond!
Upon hearing this, she was startled by the towering, cloud-covered mountains in front of her before she had taken more than a few steps.
"Are you telling me to give up practicing medicine?"
Lu Qingqing was holding her breath.
If she were alone, it would be easy to say anything, but she has family.
This world is fucking messed up.
"No. Qingqing, young lady. I wanted to tell you that I can go with you."
"Where to? I'm not going anywhere!"
"Uh, I mean, mutual help. I can make sure what you do doesn't get out of Ming'an County."
"When the time is right, and we have the strength to contend with the Holy Healer Sect, it won't be too late to expose ourselves..."
How can we fight back? They have the royal family backing them!
If she didn't leave Ming'an County, she wouldn't even be able to try to get close to a prince.
Lu Qingqing felt that what Xu Rui said was a bit unreliable, but he seemed very confident in his words.
Now that things have come to this point, Lu Qingqing asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.
"Do you have another identity?"
Xu Rui didn't say anything.
Silence means consent.
He didn't say anything because he didn't want to tell Lu Qingqing his secret.
Although Xu Rui has been a bit eccentric at times during our time together, he seems like a decent person.
He kept his face covered, preventing her from accurately judging his expression through micro-expressions.
Therefore, I always feel uneasy.
"I need to think about it."
"Alright, Miss Qingqing, if you agree, I will do everything in my power to protect you and your family."
Although he was beaten to the ground by his closest relatives and once gave up on himself.
But now that he has been rescued and his mind is clear, he realizes that he has fallen into a huge conspiracy.
He is not a despicable person; he treats people sincerely. Besides those people in the capital, he has other trump cards up his sleeve.
"I will tell you everything later," he whispered.
He then bid farewell gently, saying, "It's getting late, Uncle Lu and the others should be back soon, so I'll take my leave now."
The afternoon sun was warm but not scorching. He was dressed in plain clothes, but his movements made it seem as if he were wearing brocade robes, exuding elegance and nobility.
After walking a few steps, I heard Lu Qingqing call out from behind: "Pot, pot!"
Xu Rui froze.
She called out: "Brother?"
When he arrived in the village, he heard many people call his brother "Guoguo".
Especially when encountering a male who is older than you but not related by blood, you will call him that as a polite form of address.
"Um, uh... is there anything else?"
Xu Rui took a long time to turn around.
Lu Qingqing had already walked over and handed the small iron pot forward.
"Hey, aren't you bringing the pot?"
Well……
Lu Qingqing said that Xu Rui sometimes seemed slow to react, and since she couldn't see his facial expressions, she didn't know what was wrong with him.
...
After a while, the whole family returned.
Lu Feng and Feng Xiaowan heard the news that Lu Qingqing could come back to life as soon as they arrived at the village entrance.
There was also news that Ding Hongshi had harmed Lu Qingqing and was imprisoned.
The couple, who weren't usually good at swearing, cursed together: "Ding Hongshi, you son of a bitch!"
Old Man Lu and Lu Yun then recounted how badly the two of them had beaten Ding Hongshi on the road.
After sending him to jail, the two of them bought a large amount of wine, vegetarian roast goose, and braised lion's head meatballs.
They said they wanted to celebrate today.
They celebrated Lu Qingqing's miraculous survival and even dragged out the villains and sent them to jail.
Lu Yun pestered Lu Qingqing to call him "Little Brother" a few more times.
Lu Qingqing not only called him "Little Brother," but also "Crybaby."
The whole family was having a lively time.
Old Man Lu also knew that he had really wronged Chen Cuihua over the past few years.
Hearing that she had gone home, I scooped up some noodles and brought them to her.
They came back saying they didn't see anyone, and the noodles hadn't been delivered.
"Lu Xingde is cursing me, so I won't send it! Even if I did send it, your aunt might not even get a taste."
Bah! The whole family is worthless!
However, he was still a little worried.
He knew better than anyone how petty Lu Xingde was; he could hold a grudge for years over the smallest thing.
Now that Chen Cuihua has embarrassed him, he won't have an easy time going back.
