Chapter 33: The Divine Doctor Appears

  Chapter 33: The Divine Doctor Appears

  After leaving the horse at the inn, Fang Yilai took the twelve guards to Mount Emei. Originally, Fang Yilai did not plan to let Linglong follow, because this hike up the mountain was really too tiring, and Sun Simiao's place was still Tianchi Peak. However, Linglong refused to agree, and in the end, Fang Yilai still brought Linglong along.

  After the rain, Mount Emei was filled with a vibrant vitality everywhere. The walnut trees, wild flowers, pine trees and white birch trees formed a unique landscape on Mount Emei. After walking about half of the way, Fang Yiai found that Linglong was very tired, so she made a gesture to Qin Hu and others, and then Fang Yiai helped Linglong sit down on a rock and said with a bitter smile: "You silly girl, I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. Now do you know how tiring mountain climbing is?"

  "Second Master, Linglong can hold on a bit longer, you don't have to stop for me!" Linglong was very clear that she had dragged everyone down this time. If it weren't for taking care of her, Fang Yiai and the others wouldn't be walking so slowly either. It had already been two hours, but they had only covered half the distance.

  "Alright, stop being stubborn and take a rest. We've been searching for so many days already, what's the difference with this little bit of time?" Fang Yi Ai wiped away the sweat on Ling Long's forehead. During this period, Ling Long had also suffered a lot following him, and Fang Yi Ai felt that he really owed Ling Long too much.

  "Second Master, can you tell me why you must find Sun Simiao?" Linglong had always been curious. The Fang family didn't have anyone seriously ill, and she couldn't understand why Fang Yilove was so anxious to find Sun Simiao.

  "Alas, it's all for Master's health. The injuries on Master's body can't be delayed any longer. If we don't hurry up and treat them, I'm afraid he won't live for more than two years." Fang Yili thought of Qin Qiong who died young in history and sighed, indeed heroes have short lives and beauties have thin fates.

  "Master, so you're doing this for General Qin. It seems I was foolish to doubt it." Qin Hu originally had some objections to Fang Yu'er running into the deep mountains to find Sun Simiao, but now he didn't have any objections at all. For the sake of Qin Qiong, Qin Hu and others would not frown even if they were tired or suffered hardships. In the eyes of Qin Hu and others, Qin Qiong was both like an older brother and a father. Qin Hu's heart also began to rejoice for Qin Qiong, although he had no children, but now he had taken in a good apprentice.

  "Uncle Hu, don't blame me for this. I didn't dare to mention it beforehand either. If Master knew about it, he definitely wouldn't let me out. You all know Master's temper; he always thought that this was heaven's punishment for his past killings and refused to accept the doctor's treatment." Fang Yiai smiled wryly, sometimes he really pitied Qin Qiong, this man was too stubborn.

  "Alas," Qin Hu sighed, saying helplessly, "Young master, who says it's not true? The general doesn't think about it either. Wei Chi general has killed more people than him, but hasn't heaven punished General Wei Chi at all? Look, General Wei Chi has sons and daughters, and his body is very strong. If heaven wants to punish, can't there be any bias?"

  After hearing Qin Hu's words, Fang Yiai couldn't help but laugh. Just thinking about the Wei twins made her want to smile - they had dark skin like Wei Gong and a silly aura about them.

  After a short rest, Fang Yi'ai and others continued to climb up the mountain. The higher they climbed, the steeper the road became, and the temperature obviously felt cooler. Tianchi Peak was not yet reached, but the surrounding area had already begun to be shrouded in mist.

  Qin Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a puzzled tone, "Young master, how can this old man Sun Daozhang climb so high at his age?"

  "Who knows, but one thing is certain, that is Sun Daochang's body is very good. You see, we young people have climbed here and it's not easy, if someone has a bad body, how can they climb to the top of Tianchi Peak?" Fang Yiai supported Linglong and smiled at Qin Yong.

  "This is true indeed" Qin Yong chuckled and saw Linglong panting, her legs still trembling, so he kindly said: "Linglong girl, I think it's better for me to carry you on my back, otherwise you'll definitely collapse!"

  After listening to Qin Yong's words, Fang Yiai shook her head and said that Linglong would agree to that only when pigs could fly. As expected, Linglong frowned and refused Qin Yong's kindness. Fang Yiai thought for a moment and then squatted in front of Linglong with a smile, saying: "Linglong, what Qin Yong said is right, if you keep going like this, you'll definitely exhaust yourself to death, let me carry you on my back instead!"

  Linglong looked at the Tianchi Peak, which was within arm's reach, and then glanced at her own slightly trembling legs. She gritted her teeth and directly leaned against Fang Yiai's back. Fang Yiai felt the two soft masses on his back and happily picked up Linglong's two beautiful legs. As he walked forward, he said: "Linglong, hold tight, but don't let yourself fall off, haha!"

  "Second Master, stop teasing me." Linglong tightly hugged Fang Yilai's neck and even took out a handkerchief to wipe away his sweat. As she leaned on Fang Yilai's shoulder, Linglong felt an indescribable sense of comfort. If only they could go on like this for the rest of their lives, how wonderful would that be? Unfortunately, wishes were just illusions, and Tianchi Peak was approaching soon.

  After arriving at Tianchi Peak, Fang Yiai placed Linglong under the three large characters of Tianchi Peak and made a gesture to Qin Hu and others. Soon, Qin Hu and others dispersed to find the Wugui Cave. Fang Yiai and Linglong rested for about half a cup of tea before seeing Qin Wu running over excitedly saying: "Young Master, I found the Wugui Cave."

  "Great, after they come back, we'll go together." Fang Yiai got the news and excitedly stood up directly. After everyone came back, a group of people followed Qin Wu to the Fog Return Cave, which was not far from Sun Simiao. After entering the Fog Return Cave, Qin Hu checked it out and said dejectedly: "Young master, there is no one in the cave, and the fire is also extinguished. Has Dr. Sun already left?"

  "Uncle Hu, don't worry, Sun Daochang must have gone out to gather herbs. He'll definitely come back. We just need to wait for him here!" Fang Yiai said confidently.

  "Young master, what do you mean by this?"

  "Uncle Hu, look at the firewood on the ground. The left side is dry, while the right side is damp. It's clear that the left side was collected before the rain, and the right side was collected after the rain. And since it rained just yesterday, we can be sure that the firewood on the right side was collected recently. Since Sun Shen Yi was still collecting firewood after the rain, it proves that he hasn't planned to leave here yet. So all we need to do is wait for him here." Fang Yi Ai explained slowly from beside them.

  "Young master, but why did Sun Daozhang want to collect these damp firewoods?" Qin Yong asked in puzzlement.

  "It's that simple, when these dry firewood are burning, can't the wet ones be dried too?" After Fang Yili explained, Qin Yong nodded heavily, it really was that simple.

  Qin Hu saw Qin Yong still shaking his head, and suddenly slapped the back of his head, scolding: "Alright, stop being sentimental, hurry up and go with Qin Wu to keep watch, when Sun Daozhang comes back, come back immediately to report."

  "Oh, let's go now" Qin Yong estimated that he had survived for too long under Qin Hu's tyranny, and after hearing Qin Hu's words, he didn't even fart once, and went out to keep watch with a thud. As for Fang Yi'ai and others, they each found a place to rest. Linglong leaned in Fang Yi'ai's arms and whispered: "Second Young Master, Sun Daozhang is really a strange person, and can actually survive for so long in this cave."

  "Hehe, that's why Sun Daochang is called a divine doctor. Those imperial physicians living in the palace can never compare to him, because they only know how to learn, but don't understand how to research new treatment methods." Fang Yiai said with a pampering tone while stroking Linglong's slightly disheveled hair.

  "Second Master, don't talk nonsense. If those old men hear you, I'm afraid you'll be drowned in their saliva." Linglong said with a smile, wiping her fingers across Fang Yuer's lips.

  "You little girl, do you think I'm a fool? How can you talk nonsense like that?" Fang Yiai laughed and said.

  Just before dark, Qin Yong rushed in excitedly and shouted: "Young master, good news! We've found someone heading this way. It looks like it's the Sun Daozhang we're looking for."

  "Really? Haha, everyone come with me to welcome Sun Daochang!" Fang Yiai didn't even have time to consider etiquette, and excitedly pulled Linglong as they rushed out.

  Qin Hu and the others followed behind, running and whispering to each other. This young master is really unreliable. Even if the other party was Sun Daochang, there's no need for him to personally go and greet them. After all, he is the second son of the Fang Mansion and the young master of the Qin Mansion, with a very noble status that is not inferior to even the royal relatives.
