“What’s the fuss? Zhaoyuan County kills a few people every day.”
The shopkeeper was not interested at all. He was already used to it.
” The one who was killed was the waiter at Smell the Fragrance and Get off the Horse. The bailiffs captured two men who came to buy grain from other places as scapegoats.”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was not interested, the waiter was anxious. He quickly said something, and his saliva flew everywhere.
“The waiter who got off the horse after smelling the fragrance?”
The shopkeeper suddenly became energetic. The horse relay station was a black market; no one dared to provoke it. What happened today?
Su Qing wasn’t interested in getting off the Horse after smelling the fragrance. When the waiter mentioned scapegoats, she immediately thought of Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang. She didn’t even buy the cloth and turned to leave.
“Sir, 1 advise you not to go out on the streets now.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, the shopkeeper kindly advised him,
“If there’s a murder, we have to arrest them. You foreigners have no roots and no connections. If you’re arrested, there’s nobody to reason with.”
” Thank you. Help me wrap fifty bales of cotton and ten bolts of cloth. I’ll come back later to get them!”
Su Qing saw that the shopkeeper had a good heart and asked him to prepare cotton and cloth without asking the price.
Although the quality of the cotton wasn’t that good, it was better than nothing. It was still okay to make cotton shoes.
She did not need a good cloth to make cotton shoes. This kind of coarse cloth was enough.
“Young people don’t listen to advice.”
The shopkeeper sighed. The waiter asked him if he wanted to pack cotton.
“No need; he can’t come back.”
The shopkeeper shook his head. He had seen too many dirty things in Zhaoyuan County for many years. If a young man rushed out at this time, he would not return. Why should he still wrap the cotton?
Su Qing left the cloth shop and walked towards the granary. When she passed a medical hall, she was surprised to see the two Tartans she had just met in the tavern.
“Please come with me. As long as you can cure my mother, you can ask for as much money as you want.”
Yelu Chun begged the doctor sitting in the hall. Afraid the doctor would not follow him, he first put a gold leaf on the table.
“It’s not that I don’t want to go with Young Master, but I’m not confident 1 can cure your mother’s illness. The illness during the confinement period is the most difficult to treat. My medical skills are insufficient to delay Young Master’s mother’s illness.”
The doctor in charge was in his fifties. He looked honest and had a long beard. He looked like a doctor. He was afraid he would be unable to spend his life earning money. He also wanted the golden leaves on the table, but they were going to Tartan. The Tartanians killed without blinking.
“Are you going or not?”
The attendant grew impatient and pulled out his sword to threaten the doctor. The doctor was so scared that he hid under the table and trembled.
“All Lu, don’t be rude.”
Yelu Chun stretched out his arm to stop All Lu. This was the third time he had run into a wall. It was said that there were many capable people in the Central Plains, and the doctors in the Central Plains could cure his mother’s illness.
Where could he find such a capable person?
Su Qing heard their conversation. She could accept this job, and the reward would be the sword. However, she was worried about Ji Shuisheng and the others, so she had no time to care about medicine. She had no choice but to give up.
Not long after she walked out, she bumped into Ji Shuisheng, who was looking for her. Su Qing let out a sigh of relief.
“We have to leave Zhaoyuan County as soon as possible.”
Ji Shuisheng was relieved to see that Su Qing was safe and sound. He walked over and whispered to her.
“Yes, alright.”
Su Qing did not ask what happened outside the grain store. Since Shuisheng had returned safely, the process was not important.
“I ordered cloth and cotton from the cloth store. Let’s go and get it.”
Su Qing said to Ji Shuisheng. She was not a person who went back on her word. Since she had asked the shopkeeper to pack cotton for her, she had to return and get it.
“Alright, let’s hurry.”
Buying cloth wouldn’t take long, so Ji Shuisheng nodded in agreement.
When they left, Ji Shuisheng naturally held Su Qing’s hand. The calluses on his palm rubbed against her soft palm. Su Qing liked the feeling of being held by him.
She was dressed as a man, and the two men were holding hands, attracting the shocked and disdainful gazes of the passersby.
They even treated Su Qing as a brother of a duck restaurant.
Yelu Chun and his entourage just came out when they passed the clinic. Yelu Chun’s brows were tightly knitted, and his deep eyes were filled with anxiety. Could they have to go deep into the Central Plains to find capable people?
Su Qing saw that Yelu Chun’s gaze was on the sword in his hand. She was determined to get this sword, so she said to Ji Shuisheng,
“Shuisheng, wait for me.”
“I met an acquaintance. Just call me when you’re done buying the cloth.”
Ji Shuisheng also saw Yelu Chun. No matter what, he was his little sister’s savior, so he had to greet him if he met him.
“Thank you for saving my sister, Young Master.”
Ji Shuisheng cupped his fists and said gratefully to Yelu Chun,
When Yelu Chun saw that the two were together, he was slightly stunned. The next moment, he smiled and cupped his fists as a greeting. He did not want to talk too much and planned to leave.
Su Qing expressionlessly stopped Yelu Chun.”
“I can cure your mother.”
Yelu Chun raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qing. He had discovered this woman was different from others at the horse carriage station. Although she was a woman, she had extraordinary courage. But even if she had the courage, he did not believe that a woman around twenty could cure his mother’s chronic illness.
Su Qing saw that Yelu Chun didn’t believe her, but she didn’t care because this disbelief wasn’t the first or second time. She looked at Yelu Chun’s expression and slowly said,
“You don’t believe me? Your anger is so strong that you wake up every morning with red eyes, a dry mouth, and retching symptoms. You have been practicing martial arts since you were young, and your bones and muscles have been seriously damaged. Your left knee has rheumatism, which hurts whenever it’s windy and rainy. Your right shoulder has always been injured and always feels powerless.”
Su Qing didn’t take his pulse. She told him about his illness based on her observation. Ever since her medical skills reached level seven, she could determine the illness one had from the complexion.
The more Yelu Chun listened, the more shocked he became. He had never thought much of Su Qing and did not believe she had the medical skills to cure his mother, but she had told him about his illness without taking his pulse. Her superb medical skills stunned him.
Over the years, he had seen many so-called famous doctors. However, this was the first time he had met a doctor who could explain his illness in such detail without taking his pulse. He also knew that traditional Chinese medicine needed looking, listening, asking, and feeling. This look was to judge a person’s condition by looking at their complexion.
“I admire you. Miss, I apologize for my disrespect.”
Yelu Chun put away his contempt for Su Qing and solemnly apologized to her with cupped fists.
“It’s fine. 1 can help your mother cure her illness, and 1 can also cure all the illnesses in your body. However, I have a condition. 1 want your sword as compensation.”
Su Qing didn’t bother to be polite with him and directly told him the fee for her treatment. Yelu Chun had said he could give her any price, and she only wanted the sword.
Yelu Chun didn’t expect Su Qing to have designs on his treasured sword.
“Do you know the value of this sword?” All Lu asked Su Qing angrily.
Su Qing didn’t even bother to talk to him and only looked at Yelu Chun..
