"Awu, Awu, wake up! Old Yang is gone, you absolutely can't let anything happen to you!"
The burly man shook his unconscious companion, his heart filled with anxiety.
"You're usually so picky, getting you to eat is harder than a lazy donkey getting on a millstone, so why couldn't you resist this time..."
The strong man was filled with grief.
That being said, the situation was different from before. Everyone had experienced a major upheaval, and was exhausted both physically and mentally, and extremely thirsty.
Water in the desert is like oil.
He wanted a drink too, but there were no seats available, so he gave the last spot to A-Wu.
If only I had known... he wouldn't have allowed it!
"Can I have a look?"
A clear, calm female voice sounded from behind him. The burly man turned around in a daze and saw a woman wearing a veil standing quietly in the setting sun.
The twilight followed behind her, as if bathing her in a sacred golden light.
The burly man was stunned.
"You are……"
Following behind Meng Qianqian, Ya'er, who was carrying Meng Qianqian's small medicine box, said, "You ate my young lady's dried meat, and you've already forgotten about it so quickly?"
The burly man suddenly realized: "Ah! It's you—but you—"
His gaze swept over Meng Qianqian's slightly protruding belly, "You...you..."
Meng Qianqian pointed to her companion, whom he called A Wu: "He's been poisoned. If you don't mind, I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine and can take a look at him."
"Ah! Miss... oh no, Madam is a doctor!"
The burly man hurriedly stood up, his attitude extremely respectful. "Please, Madam, examine my brother! If you can save my brother, I, Da Niu, will do anything to repay your life-saving grace!"
Ya'er said, "My young lady will do her best, but whether she can be saved or not is truly uncertain."
The burly man hurriedly replied, "I understand! I understand! Please, madam!"
Meng Qianqian squatted down, took A Wu's pulse, examined his fingernails and pupils, and then asked Ya'er to fetch a bowl of water.
She smelled it and tested it with a silver needle.
The silver needle did not turn black.
It's not a potent poison; the water source contains something inedible.
Meng Qianqian took out a pill from her small medicine box and had Da Niu feed it to A Wu. She then used the Thirteen Ghost Needles to clear his meridians and promote the flow of qi.
In a short while, A-Wu gradually woke up, his pale face regained color, and his lips were no longer bluish.
"Da Niu...where am I...?"
He asked, still a little dazed.
Overjoyed, Da Niu shook A Wu's shoulder and said, "He's alive! He's alive! Madam is truly a miracle doctor! Madam saved you! Huh! Why did you faint again?!"
Ya'er glared at him: "You shook me unconscious! The patient just woke up and is very weak!"
Daniel: “…”
After Meng Qianqian treated A Wu, other patients immediately came to her for treatment.
Meng Qianqian did everything she could to save them all.
Ya'er looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead and said softly, "Miss, why don't you rest for a while? You've been busy for so long, be careful not to wear yourself out."
Meng Qianqian was indeed a little tired, and her stomach was growling with hunger.
She said to Ya'er, "Saving lives is the priority. Go get me some food." Ya'er sighed, "Yes."
Seeing the troubled look on her face, Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "So many people are waiting for me to save their lives. Even if I wanted to run away, they wouldn't let me. You can go and get the food without worry."
"That's not what I meant."
Feeling embarrassed that her thoughts had been seen through, Ya'er struggled to offer any explanation.
Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Go ahead."
"Yes."
Ya'er went to get some food.
Da Niu crept up to him quietly: "Madam, why are your family members watching you so closely?"
Meng Qianqian said casually, "Oh, I married someone from another place. My family didn't agree and forcibly took me away. They were probably afraid I would run back to my husband."
"That's unreasonable!"
Da Niu slapped his thigh, realizing he had made too much noise, and quickly lowered his voice, "Who forcibly breaks up a couple? As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage."
"Ah."
Meng Qianqian nodded slightly.
Before Da Niu could say anything more, someone else came looking for Meng Qianqian.
This time, it wasn't an ordinary merchant or knight-errant, but a bodyguard dressed in fine clothes with a jeweled scimitar at his waist.
The guard said to Meng Qianqian, "My master invites you to be the divine physician."
Meng Qianqian feigned ignorance: "May I ask who your master is—"
"Master Sheng."
"That's what the guard said."
The name "Master Sheng" is well-known among all the teams on this trip.
The third master, whose head was cut off, was his younger brother.
He was the leader of that group of nobles.
The servants called him Master Sheng.
The others followed suit and called him that too.
Meng Qianqian said to the guard, "I still have three patients here. They arrived first. I'll go with you after I've treated them."
The guard hesitated, "But—"
Meng Qianqian said, "Everything should be done in order of arrival. Go tell your master that this is my rule."
The guard frowned and left.
"Did she really say that?"
Inside the tent, a man with a mustache exclaimed, "She doesn't even give Master Sheng face? That's incredibly arrogant!"
Master Sheng said, "It's alright. Capable people are always a bit arrogant and have eccentricities. Fine, then let's go along with her and wait until she finishes treating her patients."
The man with the mustache said, "Master Sheng, why are you being so polite to a little girl? I've observed them; apart from one guard, there are no other skilled fighters in their group. They're nothing to be afraid of!"
Master Sheng chuckled, "Isn't it strange that they all survived even though there weren't any powerful experts among them?" (End of Chapter)
