Chapter 218 Inside Story and Confession
"Master, I think the injury of Miss Fang Rou is not simple, it seems to be a knife wound.
And the owner of Fang Manor has profound cultivation and has reached the state of minor success in internal organs. I am afraid that the one who can hurt them is not an ordinary person."
After a long silence, Lu Qing said.
Although his ability can see through the information of all things in the world.
But the information he found out is not infinite, and has a certain degree of randomness.
Just like this time, he was unable to learn the reason why Miss Fang Rou was injured from Fang Tao and others.
"It doesn't matter who it is. We doctors have always focused on curing diseases and saving people. As for those grudges, we don't care if we can ignore them." The old doctor said.
"Disciple knows." Lu Qing nodded.
He felt the strange meaning surrounding him, and couldn't help but praise: "Master, your innate realm is really amazing. I wonder when I can reach such a realm."
"Stop talking nonsense. Your talent is much stronger than my master's. In addition, the spiritual energy is about to revive. I'm afraid it won't take long for you to catch up with my master's realm." The old doctor laughed and scolded.
He knew Lu Qing's talent for cultivation best.
He even suspected that his disciple had not yet entered the innate realm, not because he could not break through, but because he did it on purpose.
Otherwise, it only took him a few months from the beginning of martial arts to entering the internal organs.
It doesn't make sense that two years have passed, but he can't even break through the innate realm.
However, the old doctor knew that Lu Qing always had his own plans in cultivation, so he didn't ask.
After the master and disciple chatted for a while, they fell asleep.
As for Xiaoyan, she had already fallen asleep holding Xiaoli, and even Wei Zian fell asleep.
Ma Gu was responsible for keeping watch, and Lu Qing would get up and take his place in the second half of the night.
After all, one must be on guard against others. When going out, one must be careful about everything.
When Lu Qing and others lay down to rest, Fang Tao and others were whispering in the hall.
"Master, we are trapped here by the heavy rain, and my junior sister is seriously ill and unconscious. What if the people from Liuyun Sect chase us?"
The disciple named Dashi whispered.
"It shouldn't happen." Fang Tao said after a pause, "The route we escaped this time is relatively remote, and the heavy rain has washed away all our traces. It's not easy for the people from Liuyun Sect to find us."
"That Liuyun Sect is really a piece of shit. Our villa offers them so much money every year, but they turned against us. That damn young sect leader wanted to snatch my junior sister back as a concubine. Master, why didn't you let me chop him with a knife at that time!"
Dashi said indignantly.
"If we kill the young master, we will be doomed forever, with no way out." Fang Tao sighed, "The Liuyun Sect has a Xiantian Realm ancestor in charge, and they are domineering. The young master is the only great-grandson of the Xiantian ancestor of the Liuyun Sect. If he dies, the Liuyun Sect will be furious. I'm afraid there will be no place for us in this world."
"But if we don't kill the young master now, we will still be hunted by the Liuyun Sect. Does it make a difference, Master?" Dashi asked puzzled.
"If there is no blood feud, there is still room for maneuver. I have some friendship with an elder of the Guiyuan Sect in Qingzhou in the past. As long as we can escape to Qingzhou, pay a price, and ask the Guiyuan Sect to intercede, maybe we can make peace with the Liuyun Sect."
Dashi was silent.
He remembered the face of the young master of the Liuyun Sect that day, and wondered if the master was too optimistic.
With the vengeful character of the evil young man, would he really be willing to reconcile with them after suffering such a big loss?
According to what he said, it would be better to kill the scum with one knife that day, so that even if they all died in the end, at least one of them would be the scapegoat.
Thinking of the scene in the villa where the guards and servants were slaughtered by the disciples of Liuyun Sect that day, Dashi felt a surge of anger in his heart.
If he was not strong enough, he really wanted to kill Liuyun Sect alone and avenge those familiar guards!
But this is the decision of the master. As a disciple, no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he can only follow it.
"But, this is just my expectation after all." Fang Tao said again, "If we are caught up by the people of Liuyun Sect before we reach Qingzhou, we can only fight to the death.
Dashi, if the people of Liuyun Sect chase us to the Taoist temple in the next two days, remember to sever your relationship with Doctor Chen and others. They have done us a favor, and we can't repay them with enmity."
"Of course, but Master, what if the people of Liuyun Sect insist on attacking Doctor Chen and others?" Dashi asked.
Dashi could not forget how rude and unreasonable the people who were chasing them were.
Fang Tao was stunned, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then we will fight them and buy time for Doctor Chen and his men to escape!"
...
Lying on the ground, Lu Qing closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, with a smile on his face.
Although Fang Tao and his men's voices were low, in front of a martial arts master like Lu Qing, they were no different from loud conspiracies.
After hearing that Fang Tao and his men had no ulterior motives, Lu Qing fell asleep with peace of mind.
After a night, nothing special happened and everything was safe.
There was no abnormality on Fang Tao's daughter's side, and she did not come to disturb Lu Qing and his men in the middle of the night.
Because Lu Qing was responsible for the night watch in the second half of the night, he could also make breakfast earlier, so when everyone woke up, they smelled bursts of fragrance.
"Lu Xiaolangjun, are you up so early?"
Fang Tao was a little surprised when he saw Lu Qing busy.
"I'm used to it." Lu Qing said with a smile, "Just in time, Master Fang, I've also made your breakfast here, and this medicinal meal is for Miss Fang. I guess she should be ready after a while. It’s time to wake up.”
"Really……"
Fang Tao felt happy and was waiting to ask more questions. At this moment, the woman named Qianlin ran out of the hall.
"Master, junior sister is awake!"
"Xiao Rou is really awake?"
Fang Tao was greatly surprised. He was not only happy that his daughter woke up, but also surprised that Lu Qing's information was accurate.
"Mr. Lu Xiaolang, please forgive Fang for excuse me."
"Wait a minute, Master Fang. Since your daughter has woken up, you can just bring this bowl of medicinal food in. She has just woken up from a serious illness and is weak. This is the time when she needs to supplement her nutrition."
Lu Qing brought over a bowl of medicinal porridge.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu Xiaolang."
Fang Tao gratefully took the medicinal porridge and hurried to the main hall.
Then he saw his daughter sitting there halfway.
"Daddy."
Seeing Fang Tao come in, Fang Rou shouted weakly.
"Xiaorou, you're awake, how do you feel now?"
Fang Tao quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Feeling better, Daddy, where are we now?"
When Fang Tao heard this, he knew that his daughter had no memory of what happened before.
Also, before coming to this Taoist temple, my daughter was already semi-conscious, so it is normal for her not to remember.
"We are now in an unknown Taoist temple. You were injured earlier and were invaded by the cold air. The situation was very critical. Fortunately, Dr. Chen, who was also taking shelter in this Taoist temple, came to help and saved you. The danger was averted. "
Fang Tao explained to his daughter.
"The clothes on my daughter..."
A hint of blush appeared on Fang Rou's face.
When she just woke up, she discovered that the clothes she was wearing were not her original ones, but seemed to be men's clothes.
But when she was about to ask, the senior sister was so surprised that she ran out and informed her father.
"The clothes you are wearing were also lent to us by Old Doctor Chen and others. They are all men, so they only have men's clothes. But don't worry, your senior sister put on the clothes for you."
After hearing this, Fang Rou breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, this old doctor Chen is really very kind to his daughter. She needs to thank him personally."
"There's no rush. After Old Doctor Chen and the others get up later, Dad will go with you to say thank you."
"Um."
Fang Rou responded softly. Suddenly, she smelled a very special smell. She looked around and found that it came from the bowl in her father's hand.
"Dad, what is that in your hand? It smells so good!"
Fang Rou's throat twitched.
From yesterday to now, she hasn't eaten a grain of rice in her stomach. She didn't feel it before, but now that she was attracted by the aroma, she suddenly felt hungry.
"Oh, I almost forgot. This bowl of medicated porridge is specially cooked for you by Lu Xiaolangjun, a disciple of Dr. Chen. He said that you should wake up this morning. Unexpectedly, you woke up just after he finished talking outside. , He really knows things like a god."
Fang Tao handed the medicinal porridge in his hand to his daughter: "Xiaorou, you haven't eaten for almost two days, drink this porridge while it's hot."
"Medicinal porridge?"
Fang Rou looked at the porridge in the bowl and was a little surprised.
In her impression, almost anything related to medicine was bitter and unpleasant to drink. It was really strange that this bowl of medicinal porridge was so fragrant.
With curiosity, Fang Rou scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth and tasted it. Soon, her eyes lit up and she began to drink the porridge one bite at a time.
When Fang Tao saw this, he knew that the taste of the porridge should suit his daughter's appetite, so he felt relieved.
Soon, Fang Rou finished the entire bowl of porridge and handed the bowl to her father with some reluctance.
She felt that she should be able to drink a few more bowls, but she also knew that she was still ill and should not overeat.
"Master, old doctor Chen is here."
As soon as Fang Tao took the bowl, he heard his disciple Dashi coming to report.
"Invite him in quickly!" Fang Tao said quickly.
"Master Fang, I heard that your daughter has woken up, so I came over to take a look."
The old doctor came in and smiled.
"Exactly, my little girl just woke up and drank a bowl of medicated porridge cooked by Lu Xiaolangjun. She also asked old doctor Chen to see if she was okay."
"Let me check her pulse first."
When the old doctor came to Fang Rou, the young girl saw the old man with a gentle temperament and a kind face. She felt a sense of intimacy in her heart and couldn't help but extend her hand.
The old doctor put his fingers on the girl's wrist and felt it carefully for a while before taking his hand back.
"Congratulations to Master Fang. The coldness in your daughter's body has been basically eliminated. The wound on her shoulder has also begun to heal. Next, as long as she rests for a while, she will be fine."
"Thank you, old doctor Chen!"
After Fang Tao heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell completely, and he bowed heavily to old doctor Chen.
"Thank you, old doctor, for saving my life."
Fang Rou also wanted to stand up and say thank you, but the old doctor held her down gently: "You don't have to be so polite. You have just recovered from your illness. You should rest more and shouldn't move too much."
Then he said: "Master Fang, my disciple has made some breakfast. If you don't mind it, you might as well come over and eat some together."
Fang Tao and his friends were naturally very grateful for this. Soon, everyone gathered in front of the fire and started to eat breakfast.
Lu Qing's breakfast was not complicated. He just made a big pot of bacon rice and a jar of wild vegetable soup.
But Fang Tao and his apprentices still ate very comfortably.
Not only because Lu Qing's cooking skills were very good and the food was delicious, but also because for Fang Tao and his friends, it was extremely rare to have a hot meal and a bowl of hot soup in the face of life and death.
"Old doctor, I'm afraid it will rain for another day or two. What are your plans?"
After breakfast, Fang Tao asked.
"What else can we do? We are riding in a carriage. It is not suitable to travel in the rain. We can only wait until the rain stops before we leave." The old doctor said.
Fang Tao didn't know whether he was worried or happy when he heard this.
To be honest, if the old doctor and his friends had to travel in the rain, it would not be good news for them.
The daughter's injuries and illness meant that she could not get cold in the rain for the time being.
At that time, if they were the only ones staying in this remote Taoist temple, life would probably be much harder.
But similarly, if the old doctor and his men continued to stay in the Taoist temple, no one could guarantee when the people from Liuyun Sect would come after them.
If they implicated the old doctor and his men, he would probably have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life.
The struggle between selfishness and morality made Fang Tao not know what to say for a while.
After thinking about it, Fang Tao felt that with the rain yesterday, the people from Liuyun Sect would probably not continue to pursue them before the rain stopped.
So he decided to keep it a secret for the time being.
"In that case, I'm afraid I'll have to bother the old doctor again in the next period of time. I have some gold leaves here, although they are a little less, but please accept them as a little bit of my heart."
Fang Tao took out a small stack of gold leaves from his arms and handed it to the old doctor.
The old doctor looked at the stack of gold leaves, which was at least several taels. He smiled and just took out one from it.
"It doesn't take that much. This gold leaf is more than enough to pay for the consultation fee and medicine for your daughter. Master Fang, take back the rest."
"But old doctor..."
Fang Tao was about to say something, but saw that the old doctor had already shook his head and said, "Master Fang, we doctors treat diseases and save lives. We follow our hearts, not to make money."
Seeing the old doctor's insistence, Fang Tao had to take back the remaining gold leaves.
But in his heart, he respected the old doctor more.
At the same time, his guilt became deeper.
With a struggling look on his face, Fang Tao finally decided to confess.
"Old doctor Chen, there is one thing I must explain to you clearly..."
