Chapter 640: Chapter 640 Zhao Xi’s Preparation Chapter 640: Chapter 640 Zhao Xi’s Preparation Who would have thought that the person who was severely injured and on the verge of death was cured by Lady Lu’s brother?
Ma Lu also knew about the Lu family’s situation, and he had seen Zhao Xi driving the mule carriage in and out of the village several times, but he really did not know that this man was a doctor.
Zhao Xi smiled at Ma Lu and the others, nodding slightly, “Yes, I am indeed a doctor. I wouldn’t say my medical skills are exceptional, but they are passable. I heard from Yu earlier that you were planning to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, which is commendable. I can’t help you with hunting, but I’m worried about my sister’s safety, so I prepared some things for her.”
As he spoke, Zhao Xi took out a bunch of paper packages from his medicine basket.
He continued smiling, “These are some medicines I blended from materials I bought in the prefecture a couple of days ago. They include ones to repel snakes and insects, some for treating external injuries, some for detoxification, and even a potent knockout powder that could down an elephant, and some for last-ditch life-saving. I’ve written the descriptions on these paper packages; I brought everything I could think of.”
Ma Lu and the others, “…”
They stared at the paper packages with shock, swallowing hard. This, this would be incredibly useful.
Initially, they had found it odd that after accompanying Shu Yu and Yu into the mountains, they encountered far fewer snakes, insects, and rodents blocking their path. In the past, they had to be vigilant about their surroundings on the mountain, which slowed their pace.
After spending two days with the sisters, they guessed that the sisters must have carried something to fend off these dangers.
But these were generally secret remedies, not something ordinary people would share, so Ma Lu and his companions prudently refrained from asking too much. At least by following the two of them, they themselves benefited, significantly speeding up their hunting time.
Ma Lu had always thought that these secret remedies belonged to the Fang Family, since Father Fang was a hunter and it was normal for him to possess such skills.
But now it seemed that these so-called secret remedies were actually the medicine prepared by Lady Lu’s brother?
Not only did he have insect-repelling medicine, but also other excellent items which were extremely precious for those banished to Righteous Dao Village.
No wonder Lady Lu said they needed a few days’ delay to enter the mountain, because she mentioned needing to buy some life-saving items in the prefecture. So it was referring to this.
Zhao Xi was generous, not only giving the medicine to Shu Yu but also sharing it with Ma Lu and others.
“Since you all are working together, I certainly won’t leave you out. Here, take these, and be careful in the mountains.”
Ma Lu took the medicine packages and, after a moment, said softly, “Thank you.”
With these, he couldn’t very well refuse to take them into the mountains anymore. The other party was going in to gather medicine, which was different from their purpose.
However, at this moment, Ma Lu hoped that he was on the same path as them.
With a doctor present, their safety was more assured. Since he often went into the mountains to collect medicine, he must be familiar with the trails.
As for Meng Yunzheng behind him… he must not be a pushover either, right?
Ma Lu’s gaze lingered on Meng Yunzheng for a moment before quickly shifting back, addressing Shu Yu and Zhao Xi, “Alright, let’s go then, it’s getting late.”
After the conversation, they prepared to enter the mountain.
Nobody knew that shortly after they set off, a few people secretly followed them.
As they stood at the base of the mountain, a group of five people watched the direction Shu Yu and the others were heading and sneered coldly, “Despicable men and women.”
