Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 669 - 622: Li Yuzhu’s Assistance (1)

The Big Master smiled and "oh oh"ed twice.

"Once the affairs of the village are arranged, I will take my adopted father down the mountain to seek a legendary doctor. If we can’t find a good doctor in Zhen An Prefecture, we’ll go somewhere else. As his daughter, I believe there will be someone in the world who can cure my father’s illness," Ling Yuezi said, holding a handkerchief to wipe the drool from the Big Master’s mouth.

After the Big Master fell ill, his face became stiff, and saliva would constantly and involuntarily flow out.

Those serving him had to frequently wipe it away.

The Big Master looked at Ling Yuezi and again "oh oh"ed twice, his eyes filled with gratitude.

While speaking to the Big Master, Ling Yuezi was always smiling, but upon returning to her Lianyue Residence, her expression changed.

She entered the main house with her head bowed, worried.

Ah Qing brought tea, but she did not drink it. She simply sat on a chair, staring blankly outside the door.

Outside the door, in the night, fireflies flew freely to and fro.

"What’s wrong, Miss?" Ah Qing asked with concern, "With the village’s affairs resolved, what are you still worried about?"

Ling Yuezi sighed lightly, "I’m worried about the Big Master’s illness. He’s been like this for a while now; I’m anxious, yet there’s nothing I can do."

Ah Qing said, "But isn’t Miss planning to seek a legendary doctor from afar? Why worry?"

"My adopted father’s illness is unique; such an illness has never been cured before. How can I not worry?" Ling Yuezi said, frustrated, rubbing her forehead.

Ah Qing didn’t understand medicine either and didn’t know what to say, so she accompanied Ling Yuezi in sighing sadly.

Li Xingsheng walked into the main house, seeing the master and servant both with heads bowed and expressions filled with worry, he said, "What’s wrong with you two? Why are you not resting and looking so troubled?"

Ah Qing gave him a bow, "I will prepare bath water for Miss."

After saying that, she left.

Ling Yuezi looked at him and smiled bitterly, "I’m worried about my adopted father’s illness. Many doctors say it’s incurable, but I still want to try. No doctors around here are willing to treat him, so I’ll go to distant places to find a doctor. I just don’t know if I can find a legendary doctor."

Li Xingsheng looked at her, "My sister knows medicine. If you trust me, I can have her come and see the Big Master."

Ling Yuezi was surprised, "Your sister knows medicine? I’ve never heard you mention it!"

Li Xingsheng smiled, "You never asked."

Ling Yuezi, "..."

That’s right, she and Mr. Li had a sham marriage, meant only to get rid of the harassment from the Second Master, to find someone to help drive him away.

So from the start, she never inquired about Mr. Li’s past or his family.

And Mr. Li probably had the same thought; he never asked her about her affairs either.

Ling Yuezi smiled slightly and bowed to him, "I naturally trust your family. If your sister-in-law comes to see my adopted father, I will not leave the village for the time being."

Li Xingsheng also wanted to help her. With her around, these people would be easier to manage.

If she left now, the two hundred people in the village could cause trouble, which would inevitably lead to another riot.

The borderland just stabilized, and he hoped there wouldn’t be any more incidents.

If Ling Yuezi found a doctor, she would stay in the village.

.

Li Xingsheng wrote a letter himself and arranged for Lou Chengye to send it out.

Ordinary people entrusted letter delivery to traders and shopkeepers, while wealthy families arranged for household servants to deliver them personally.

Because the government postal stations were open only to government offices, not private individuals.

Li Xingsheng’s letter was arranged by Lou Chengye to be sent to the Zhen An Prefecture Government.

The government official carried Li Xingsheng’s handwritten letter, riding swiftly toward the Li Family in Taohua River Village, Xingfu Town, Qingyang County.

A single person on horseback, five hundred miles, delivered it in a day and a half.

In Li Xingsheng’s letter, after asking about his family’s wellbeing, he didn’t elaborate on the affairs of Feihu Village, only mentioned that an important friend had fallen ill with a wind evil illness, and requested Li Yuzhu to visit and see the patient.

At the end, Li Xingsheng added the words "as soon as possible."

Such urgency left Li Yuzhu with no choice but to hurriedly pack her belongings after bidding farewell to her family and, with Mu Yuanxiu, took a mule cart and followed the letter-delivering government official to Feihu Village.

Alighting from the mule cart, Li Yuzhu scrutinized her surroundings.

She once thought the government official had taken a wrong path, "My second brother, is he here?"

In the desolate outskirts, no pedestrians were seen.

Apart from the strange cries of birds and the sound of a distant waterfall, there was no other sound.

A few dozen steps ahead lay a large village; the village entrance was strange, resembling residences of mythological spirits from TV dramas.

"That’s right, Li San Niang, Second Young Master Li is indeed here," the government official said, after checking the letter, "It says so, Feihu Village, isn’t this Feihu Village?"

The government official pointed to the village entrance of Feihu Village.

Indeed, the village entrance bore the large words "Feihu Village."

"Yu Zhu, Second Brother is here," Mu Yuanxiu pointed to the village entrance.

The village gate was wide open, and Li Xingsheng, accompanied by a few people, walked toward Li Yuzhu and the others.

Li Yuzhu saw a young woman in vibrant red attire, strikingly bold, walking beside Li Xingsheng. The woman glanced at her and then at Li Xingsheng, her eyes held a different light from others.

"Second Brother!" Li Yuzhu called out with a smile, "The patient you mentioned, turns out to be here."

Mu Yuanxiu also called out, "Second Brother."

Li Xingsheng smiled as he approached, patting Mu Yuanxiu’s shoulder, pulling Li Yuzhu by the arm, he smiled and said, "It’s been a tiring journey, come, let’s talk inside the village."

"You’ve both had a tiring journey, please," Ling Yuezi also motioned for the two to enter.

Now that she was close, Li Yuzhu scrutinized Ling Yuezi.

She was secretly amazed in her heart; in this wilderness, there was such a beautiful young lady.

Moreover, the beauty of this girl was entirely different from any she had seen before.

Great Princess Li Yuwen was from a wealthy and noble family, beautiful, serene, and dignified, Li Yu En was not as attractive as Li Yuwen, but she too was a serene beauty.

Chai Eying was from a well-off rural family but was steeped in poetry and books from a young age, also a serene beauty.

The girls from the village, such as those from the Liu Family, and Mr. Song’s granddaughter Song Jinxiu, were a wild and lively beauty.

Yet the young lady before her, in conversation, was dignified and serene, but her eyes held a sense of wise heroism.

Li Yuzhu also noticed the two maids accompanying this young lady, each carrying a sword.

If the maids carried swords, could this lady be a General?

Li Yuzhu returned the gesture with a light smile and said, "Thank you."

After entering the main hall of the village, Li Xingsheng introduced Ling Yuezi to Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu.

He pointed to Ling Yuezi, "This is Miss Ling, the leader of Feihu Village."

Ling Yuezi smiled and nodded at them.

Li Yuzhu realized, so this girl was a female Green Forest hero.

She knew her second brother had a way with women, but she never imagined he had caught the attention of a female village leader.

It seemed there were stories to be explored.

Without understanding fully, Li Yuzhu drank a cup of tea and then said, "Second Brother, where is the patient you mentioned? Let me check first."
