The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 282 - 184

Zhao Minghua drew the longsword from the chariot’s frame and stood in front of the chariot.

In that instant, Chun Nuan felt her nose tingle and her eyes redden.

She knew then: Zhao Minghua was not a simple person.

However, facing so many people alone was still quite strenuous for him.

"Qingsheng, can we go around them?"

Chun Nuan asked softly.

Qingsheng was startled: The young master is still fighting bravely in front, and the young lady wants to escape first?

Yet, recalling the young master’s instructions, Qingsheng could only nod.

"Yes, we can."

Before setting off from Shu City, the young master instructed him: No matter what happens on the road, don’t worry about him; he has his own way of escape. Take care of the young lady above all, and follow her instructions.

Qingsheng thought, his young master was truly a passionate man.

However, to be fair, the young lady indeed has the ability and skills worthy of the young master’s efforts.

"Then go around the side. Remember, when you’re in front of your young master, shout for him to get on the chariot quickly. I have my way of getting out."

"Yes, young lady."

It should be said, the young lady is not the type to be selfish and only care for herself.

She still cares about the young master.

"Young lady, hold on tight."

Qingsheng was also a master at driving chariots; a flick of the whip and the horse darted forward.

"Young master, get on the chariot."

Before reaching Zhao Minghua, Qingsheng shouted loudly.

Zhao Minghua turned to see the chariot rushing towards him, used the sword as leverage, and leapt onto it, standing firmly beside Qingsheng.

"Young master is impressive."

Chun Nuan also wanted to say that.

"They’ve run, chase them quickly."

"They can’t escape."

As it turned out, they really couldn’t escape.

"Not good, a big tree is blocking the road ahead."

Qingsheng urgently reined in the horse.

Chun Nuan and Zhao Minghua almost tumbled over, fortunately, Zhao Minghua caught her just in time.

"Run, let’s see where you can run to."

"Seeking death!"

The signal in Zhao Minghua’s eyes was bloodthirsty.

"Cover your mouths." Chun Nuan thought for a moment then stuffed the only antidote into Zhao Minghua’s mouth: "This medicine will last for two hours, enough for you to move the tree."

"What?"

Zhao Minghua hadn’t understood what was happening when he saw Chun Nuan wave her hand, and a cloud of powder appeared in the air, causing the pursuers to stumble and fall one by one.

"Young master, they collapsed..."

Before he finished the word ’collapsed’, Qingsheng also fell onto the chariot. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Didn’t I tell you to cover your mouth?" Chun Nuan was quite disdainful of Qingsheng, but she knew she was in a similar state: "Without the antidote, you’ll wake up in two hours."

"Nuannuan, Nuannuan..."

Zhao Minghua saw the smile at the corner of her mouth, feeling immensely distressed.

Then it dawned on him, yes, he had two hours.

First chop and move the tree, then... these wretched beings, they’re better off gone!

As he raised his sword, he suddenly noticed their clothes, all patched and re-patched.

If life had been sustainable, they wouldn’t resort to robbery.

In that moment, Zhao Minghua softened again.

Finally, he moved the tree and drove the chariot away.

For two hours, Zhao Minghua heard neither Qingsheng’s chirping nor Chun Nuan’s gentle voice.

This road felt very long and enduring.

Finally, he saw a small town, the town looked desolate, some places were burnt, as if something had happened.

Zhao Minghua remembered passing through this town on their way; how had it changed so much in just a month?

And those bandits on the road were clearly made up of local villagers.

There hadn’t been such bandits on their way here.

What on earth happened?

Causing such unrest?

As it was getting dark, he dared not proceed hastily.

After all, who knew what lay ahead.

If real danger arose, he might not be able to handle everything.

The best plan was to find an inn and stay the night,

But from the town’s entrance to its end, he searched everywhere and didn’t see an inn.

"Sir, is there an inn in this town?"

"There was one, but someone died there a few days ago and it was burned down; it’s no longer habitable."

"Then do you know where there might be a yard we can rent for a night?"

"What are you here for?"

The old man asked very warily.

"We buy herbs." The chariot had a full load of herbs, making it the perfect excuse.

Sometimes it truly is as they say, what goes around comes around. When Chun Nuan bought herbs from a group of elderly folks, she never anticipated they would become the best excuse to help them.
