Chapter 519 The one who hit someone was a doctor.
When Er'er mentioned the chubby little boy Wu Yuan, he lowered his eyes and smiled.
The sea breeze whispers softly, and the sweet taste of coconut still lingers on the lips.
Wu Yunzhi put down the coconut in his hand and looked at the sea and sky merging into one in front of him.
Now that I've reached this age, I can say I have no more worries.
They had no father, no mother, and no bloodline to continue.
Alone and alone, with the world as his dwelling and the four seas as his home, he was born to be a wandering doctor.
Opening a clinic in Ping'an Town was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision.
If it weren't for the fact that Er'er, this little apprentice, still has family members and a place to call home, this trip to Lingnan could have been a chance to wander aimlessly, going wherever the road took me, and it would have been common for me to not return for three or five years.
But now...
Wu Yunzhi took out a map from the cloth bag he carried with him and slowly unfolded it on the sand.
Lingnan is so vast that he and his young apprentice hadn't even covered half of it.
In the moment of distraction, the map on the sand was almost blown away by the wind, which startled him so much that he quickly put it away.
We've only been out for a short while, and it's almost Chinese New Year again.
The thought crossed his mind, but it didn't really resonate with him.
Sitting on the donkey cart, unaware of her master's thoughts, Er'er used a wood-chopping knife to peel the snow-white coconut meat from inside the coconut, about to hand it to Wu Yunzhi: "Master, would you like to eat some more? To fill your stomach."
Wu Yunzhi waved his hand, still gazing at the sea and sky in a daze.
She started eating by herself; the coconut meat was sweet and slightly chewy, and chewing it made her mouth water.
"It's quite delicious. I'll bring some back with me when I get back, so my older sister and Sanchuan Sihai can try it too..."
Er'er muttered to herself, sitting lazily on the carriage shaft with her back against the carriage, looking carefree and at ease.
It's just that the sun was shining a bit overhead.
...Sob...
A very faint sound, like something being torn apart by the wind, or something else, drifted past my ears, mixed in with the sound of the wind.
Er'er paused, then listened intently.
The sea breeze is still there, but the sound is gone.
She looked at her master sitting under the coconut tree with a puzzled expression, only to see that he remained calm, as if he had not heard anything.
Perhaps I misheard?
She shrugged, relaxed, leaned against the carriage, and continued to eat the coconut meat in her hand.
"Waaaah! Help! Someone, please..."
This time, the sound suddenly became clear.
It was a hoarse shout that pierced through layers of wind and waves, striking straight at us.
Er'er suddenly sprang to her feet, forgetting about the coconut meat and the machete in her hands, which fell to the sand with a thud.
She gazed intently toward the fishing village.
The fishing village, which had been quiet and deserted just moments before, suddenly saw a dozen or so people gather on the open space of the beach at its outermost edge, their figures moving about.
It makes it difficult for people to see clearly.
Just as Er'er was about to stand on the carport, the sea breeze carried the sound from that side over once again.
"Has it been pulled out yet...?"
……
"Is the person still breathing...?"
Er'er's heart tightened, and she turned around urgently, saying, "Master! Over there... it looks like someone has fallen into the water!"
Wu Yunzhi also heard the sound, and quickly stood up, patted the sand off his robes, and his expression became serious.
"Hurry up, grab the medicine kit and go take a look."
Er'er picked up the machete and tucked it back into her waistband. She quickly pulled the medicine box out of the donkey cart, not even bothering to pull the wheels stuck in the sand, and ran quickly into the crowd.
Just then, the two bandits who had been dealt with by Er'er arrived at the coconut grove, panting, with their leader and five or six brothers.
Just then, I saw an old man and a young boy carrying a worn-out wooden medicine box, hurrying towards the beach where the fishing villagers were gathered.
"Boss! It's those two!" Li Yun, a bandit from Changhuai Mountain, shouted, pointing at the backs of the two men.
Zhao Musheng, who was being beaten along with his companion, looked over in that direction.
"That's right... that's the boss, she even stole my knife... Waaaaaah... my wood-chopping knife..."
Zhao Musheng said aggrievedly, "This is the only valuable thing I own."
She was snatched away so beautifully.
The man called the boss was named Zeng Baoyue. His name was delicate, but he was burly and had a face full of scars, making him look quite intimidating.
But he was wearing a clean cloth outfit, unlike the slovenly clothes of ordinary mountain bandits.
He didn't rush to chase after them. Instead, he squinted and looked in the direction the two had run, then glanced at the commotion over the fishing village: "What's all the fuss about over there?"
"Who cares! Boss, the car's right here!"
Two impatient henchmen nearby noticed that the donkey cart was parked alone under the coconut tree, and its owner had already left.
The two men's eyes lit up instantly. They shouted and ran over, eagerly lifting the rough cloth curtain of the carriage to start rummaging through it.
One of the henchmen hurriedly pulled out a cloth bag, and when he opened it and saw what was inside, his eyes lit up with surprise.
Hey! This place is full of food.
As he spoke, he opened one of the paper packages, inside which were specially made small silver fish.
It tastes excellent; it's from home and can't be bought outside, so it's very economical for Er'er to eat.
"It smells quite good." He leaned closer to smell it, then reached out and pinched a handful of small silver fish and put them in his mouth.
Chew it, chew it, and immediately let out a sound of praise.
“This is delicious.” He nodded affirmatively.
He then stuffed another mouthful into the mouth of another henchman.
So another henchman started searching even more frantically.
There was a bundle that looked bulging and felt quite substantial, but when you opened it, you found it was nothing at all.
"Pah! What a load of junk! There's not a single thing of value in it..."
After saying that, he disdainfully threw the bundle in his hand on the ground, and the medicinal herbs inside instantly scattered all over the ground, mixing with the sand.
"Two idiots."
Zeng Baoyue was observing the movements in the fishing village when she heard the sound of the donkey cart. She turned around and her face instantly darkened.
He strode forward, reached out his large hand, and pulled out the henchman who was still trying to rummage inside, as if he were picking up a chick, and pressed him down on the sand.
The person standing next to him eating small silver fish also got slapped.
"Can't you have any manners? Are you really that short-sighted? You see something and you have to steal it... rob it..."
The henchman, who had been thrown on his butt, was a little dazed. He rubbed his backside, glanced at his boss, and then at the herbs scattered all over the ground.
Not understanding what he was angry about, she muttered under her breath, "We're bandits after all...don't we just steal and rob?"
"Huh? You dare to talk back?"
Zeng Baoyue raised a thick eyebrow and snorted through her nose.
The henchman shrank back, immediately falling silent.
The henchmen who were eating the small silver fish were also frightened by their boss and quickly put the bundle they were carrying back onto the cart shaft.
Zeng Baoyue ignored the two people and bent down to pick up the medicinal herbs on the ground and smelled them.
After confirming that it was indeed medicinal material, he lifted the curtain of the donkey cart and carefully examined the inside.
Besides pots, pans, bedding, and a change of clothes, the corners and cloth bags were stuffed full of various medicinal herbs, some of which were carefully wrapped in oil paper.
The mixed flavors were exactly the same as those in the clinic.
His heart sank. He lowered the curtain and turned to look at Li Yun and Zhao Musheng.
"And you two... you told me you were beaten up, but you didn't mention that the person who beat you up was a doctor!"
Li Yun and Zhao Musheng exchanged a glance, immediately sensing something was wrong.
"We're innocent! Boss. We didn't know those two were doctors! If we had, would we have bothered them? We would have invited them to the village with utmost respect."
After all, everyone in the village knows that the eldest brother's mother is now bedridden and no matter how many doctors they've seen, nothing has worked.
They all hoped to find a skilled doctor to cure the old lady's illness so that the eldest son could focus on leading them to do serious business.
Zeng Baoyue snorted coldly, watching the two henchmen clean up the things on the ground and tidy up the luggage in the carriage.
"Go, have a look."
With that, Zeng Baoyue took the lead, leading her brothers toward the fishing village.
