Chapter 389 Sojourner

Chapter 389 Sojourner

This is the first time since I traveled through time that I don’t have to worry about my own safety.

Even when he was saving the old man in Chang'an before, he was worried every day. Once Bai Jintang's identity was discovered, death would be waiting for him.

Now in Yuezhou, Zhao Yushu believed that as long as the relationship did not have to break out, the Red Lotus Cult would not attack him directly, because that would allow the Red Lotus Cult to push the academy directly towards the Eastern Capital. The southeast had already submitted to the Eastern Capital, which would lead to uncontrollable changes on the front line in the Qiantang area.

The entire Red Lotus Cult's military strategic layout was destroyed for the sake of the city of Nanyang. Even if Lord Zhu was willing, the top leaders of the Red Lotus Cult would not be willing.

But there was no way to escape the little tricks done in secret. Zhao Yushu thought of the two masters of spear and sword who were killed by the Xiangzhou Cao Gang for no reason. He hoped that Lord Zhu would not completely destroy his little bit of goodwill towards the Red Lotus Sect.

"I won't say polite words. I know you don't like to hear them."

Walking on the road, Lan Ling lowered her head and said.

"How do you know I don't like it? I really like people praising me."

"Stop being funny, let's be serious. I decided to stay here on my own initiative, but the truth is..."

"You actually want to fight back, right? I think so too. If someone is a hooligan, why should we run away in disgrace? I recently discovered a truth that my family's fourth son Meng taught me. Only if you are ruthless enough, others will not dare to mess with you."

"you've changed."

"I know, there is no other way. With a high level of cultivation and a sharp weapon in hand, the desire to kill will naturally arise."

"It's not a bad thing, but a gentleman must keep his weapons hidden and wait for the right opportunity to act."

"Hahahaha, you understand me."

At the Zhu family residence, Lord Zhu saw off the two guests and walked into the inner hall with his wife and son.

With a slap, Lord Zhu slapped Ah Huo in the face.

"father!"

"You useless thing! For the sake of a woman, Zhao Yushu used just a few words to test your mind, and even forced us to give in. Don't you think about your identity and cultivation? How can you compare with Zhao Yushu!"

Zhu Huo was stunned: "Dad, you promised me to ask Xue Xian for marriage!"

"Xuexian, Xuexian, her last name is Lan, she has a name and surname, but did you see Zhao Yushu call her Xuexian? What a coward!"

"Okay, Master, stop talking." Madam Zhu pulled her son over and said, "Of course your father will do what he promised you, but son, you saw today that Lan Ling and Mr. Liu clearly have feelings for each other. They are both outstanding people. If they force it, even if the leader comes, he will not tear his face with the academy and Nanyang at the same time for you. You must understand this principle, right?"

Zhu Huo nodded: "What should we do now?"

Madam Zhu smiled and said, "If fists were the only thing that mattered in this world, then the one sitting on the throne should be the old immortal in the academy."

Zhu Huo seemed to be thinking: "Mom, you mean, use a trick?"

"A young hero, famous all over the world, gets carried away by his pride and does something wrong that hurts others. Aren't there many such stories?"

Lord Zhu turned his head and said, "Did you hear that, useless guy? Use your brain more when doing things. Yuezhou is our territory. What can an outsider like him do? Madam, there are some things that I cannot do myself."

Madam Zhu nodded and said, "Leave it to me, Huo'er. You are my only precious son. I will get you whatever my son wants. But there are some things you have to do yourself. You can do this and that for now."

Zhao Yushu first followed Lan Ling back to the clinic and met the old doctor who had just finished his work.

"I have heard of Mr. Liu's name for a long time."

Zhao Yushu bowed to the ground and said, "I don't deserve it. I'm honored to meet you, old sir. I will continue to be grateful for your care in the future."

"You are well-known and well-mannered, worthy of being a student of the academy. I heard from Sanniang that you were also the one who took my brother's body out of the city?"

Zhao Yushu was saddened when he heard this: "Junior, my strength is low, I can't..."

The old doctor held Zhao Yushu's arm and said, "I am too arrogant to call you Yushu. Yushu, I have been practicing medicine for a lifetime. I have saved countless people, but I have also failed to save countless people. Tell me, should I kowtow to every person I failed to save?"

Zhao Yushu looked up in surprise.

"You've done a great job. Go ahead. I need to go get some sleep. I'm getting old and I can't help but take a nap."

The old doctor yawned and left. Zhao Yushu looked at the old doctor's back and said, "The old man is a wise man."

Lan Ling smiled and said, "Do you still have that wine?"

Zhao Yushu was shocked: "You finished drinking it already?"

Lan Ling punched him: "The old man is still a drunkard."

Secretary Zhao Yu knew that one of the teachings of the Red Lotus Sect was not to drink alcohol, but it was obvious that the old doctor's faith was not that devout. After presenting two leather bags of white wine, the old man cleared a small area in his yard where he kept medicinal herbs and placed a small bed there.

Let the black deer live there.

The excuse is to let the black deer help look after the medicinal herbs.

Black Deer moved from his warm and comfortable hut to a small bed with a confused look on his face. Fortunately, he didn't have much luggage.

Zhao Yushu had a room all to himself and no longer had to smell the stinky feet of the black deer.

The cottage is in the same yard as Lan Ling, so Lan Ling and Adong live together and can take care of each other.

This year's winter seems to have come particularly early. Thinking back to the late spring in Nanyang, the coachman once told me that last year's snowstorm was severe.

This year seems to be another uneasy year.

He was busy in the clinic the whole afternoon, but it was all wasted time. Zhao Yushu didn't have anything to show for himself in medicine except for his silver needle skills. And even with his silver needles, the few acupoints he could recognize were all aimed at taking lives.

So when the old doctor woke up, he saw Zhao Yushu preparing to give a patient an injection on the back of the head. He was so angry that he threw the legendary Mr. Liu out of the door without caring that he was just an ordinary person.

Old Zhao, with his hands clasped, squatted outside the clinic with Hei Lu, looking like two new disciples of the Beggars' Sect.

"Hey, old man, I'm treating a patient with insomnia. The force of my injection is just right. It makes the patient dazed but doesn't hurt his brain. He doesn't understand and he chased me away. Hey, old deer, why don't you take me for a walk? It's not a big deal to squat all the time. Look, that old lady who passed by just now almost gave me a pancake."

Black Deer blinked: "Where to?"

"I just got here, how would I know? You've been here for a few months, can you show me some fun places?"

Black Deer subconsciously turned his head back: "Lan, no."

Zhao Yushu was stunned. He thought, "Old Lu, did you misunderstand something? Why do you think that Lan Ling would not let me go to the place I want to go? Who do you think I am, Old Zhao?"

Wait, how do you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes who can hardly speak clearly, know about brothels?

Just as Zhao Yushu was about to yell a few words, a pair of feet appeared in his sight.

Old Zhao raised his head and saw Zhu Huo standing in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Six."

Old Zhao tilted his head and said, "Mr. Zhu, you're looking for me?"

Zhu Huo chuckled: "Mr. Liu, you misunderstood. I come to the clinic at this time every day to help Miss Xuexian."

Zhao Yushu narrowed his eyes and looked at the black deer.

Black Deer nodded: "He's here to help."

Zhu Huo smiled and nodded, then walked straight in.

Hei Lu suddenly felt a little cold, and Zhao Yushu beside him seemed to be emitting a chill.

Hei Lu scratched his head, thinking that he must have said something missing. But before he could think of what to say, Zhao Yushu stood up and walked into the clinic.

"Ah, here he comes, Lan, ignore him."

Hei Lu looked at Zhao Yushu's back, not sure whether he had heard it or not, so he scratched his head again, sighed, and followed him in.

It’s still better in the mountains.
