Chapter 698 Long time no see
Mang Ge whistled.
Bright spots of light began to appear in the distant oasis.
Soon, Lu Yangyang realized that it wasn't a light spot, but a torch held by a bandit on horseback.
As Lu Yangyang watched the approaching points of light, she looked back and saw only rolling hills obscured by the vast expanse of yellow sand. The edge of the desert made it almost impossible to discern directions.
No wonder they're so fearless.
Not long after, Mang Ge met up with the patrolling bandits.
"Brother Mang, did you bring the medicine? That kid had a high fever last night, and the boss lost his temper again," the bandit who had joined them said anxiously.
"I brought all the medicinal herbs, and I also brought someone." Mang Ge glanced in Lu Yangyang's direction.
As the sandstorm began to intensify, Lu Yangyang pulled out a colorful brocade cloth from somewhere and wrapped it tightly around her head, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Mang Ge glanced at it curiously. They usually robbed wealthy merchant caravans and had seen plenty of good stuff. The moment Lu Yangyang took out that cloth, he realized that it was definitely not cheap.
This young woman's identity is probably not simple.
But since they had already brought the person back and no one was following them, Mang Ge had no choice but to bite the bullet and treat Lu Yangyang as a doctor.
The bandit who had spoken followed his gaze and looked at Lu Yangyang. She was wrapped up tightly, and all that could be seen was that she was a woman. "Is she also a doctor?"
Mang Ge nodded: "Yes, we met by chance. She said she was very good at medicine."
The bandit's eyes lit up: "That's great! The ones we brought back still haven't come up with a concrete solution. Boss, you've been working so hard these past few days. If that kid really dies, she'll go crazy! Let's go, let's go quickly and take him there!"
The bandits didn't ask any more questions, and impatiently urged Brother Mang to hurry up.
So Lu Yangyang only paused briefly before being ushered back into the oasis.
As she walked along, Lu Yangyang discovered that there were more bandits in the caravan than she had imagined. There were nearly a hundred people patrolling around at this time, and quite a few houses had been built in the oasis.
Most of the houses are made of wood, presumably because transporting bricks and stones is difficult in this area, and the surrounding wind and sand make semi-stilted wooden houses more suitable.
The houses weren't built very close together. It wasn't until we reached the area near the center, close to the lake, that Lu Yangyang spotted a small cluster of wooden houses.
The bandits who had brought her along dismounted.
Lu Yangyang also rolled down.
Lu Yangyang was led inside, and before long, she saw a tall, imposing, and spirited woman striding over with a curved knife in her hand. "Where's the new doctor? I'm warning you, if the people you brought are useless, I'll chop you all up. A bunch of good-for-nothings, you can't even find a doctor. What are you good for?"
Lu Yangyang was standing in the living room when she heard the sound and looked up, her eyes meeting those of the woman.
The woman was clearly taken aback when she saw Lu Yangyang, who was bundled up tightly. "She's actually a young lady, but she has such beautiful eyes!"
She strode over and stood beside Lu Yangyang, towering over her by more than half a head. In the blink of an eye, the curved knife in her hand landed on Lu Yangyang's chin, and she lifted it up slightly: "Are you a doctor?"
Lu Yangyang gave a soft "hmm".
The woman was clearly skeptical. With a gentle flick of the tip of her curved knife, she removed the cloth Lu Yangyang had used to cover her face, revealing her bright and beautiful face.
The woman seemed unable to see clearly, took two steps back, and cursed, "You son of a bitch! Are you kidding me?"
She raised an eyebrow in displeasure: "Looking like that, you're a doctor? Which idiot brought you here? You filthy thing with your brain stuck in your waistband, are you blinded by lust?"
She cursed and shouted a few times, and the people who followed behind her all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
"My surname is Lu. Are you the boss they're talking about?" Lu Yangyang had vaguely heard something about a boss and a pretty boy on the road, but she didn't expect that it really was a boss and a pretty boy. The boss of the caravan that gave all the merchants passing through Huangshadu a headache was a woman.
“This little girl is still a baby, but she’s got guts,” the woman said, looking Lu Yangyang up and down. “I’m Tu Jiuying, the boss of the caravan.”
Tu Jiuying was stunned by Lu Yangyang's overly beautiful face and didn't notice her for a moment. But after looking at her more closely, he was a little puzzled. "You little girl, you look somewhat familiar to me. I don't think I've seen you before!"
When she said that, Lu Yangyang realized what she meant. She had never met her before, but she felt that she looked somewhat familiar. That meant she had probably met her older brother before.
My elder brother previously fought bandits in the Northwest. This Tu Jiuying has a bandit-like air about him and doesn't seem like someone who came to the profession halfway through. He might even have a grudge against my elder brother.
Fortunately, she does resemble her eldest brother somewhat, but girls change a lot as they grow up, and she only has a slight resemblance to her eldest brother in terms of eyebrows and eyes. If it were her second brother's androgynous face, she probably wouldn't be able to explain herself right now.
“Good-looking people always look alike. Sister Jiuying, I’m a doctor. I heard that someone here needs treatment, so I volunteered to come and take a look. I wonder where the patient is? How serious is it?” Lu Yangyang looked at Tu Jiuying with a charming smile.
Tu Jiuying was a sucker for good looks, and she was immediately captivated. Remembering the most important thing, she nodded and said, "You're right, curing the illness is the most important thing. Let me tell you, that person is the one I plan to marry. If you can cure him, I will reward you handsomely!"
Lu Yangyang nodded obediently, "Okay!"
Tu Jiuying immediately led Lu Yangyang towards the inner room. After circling around a few times, they finally arrived. Before Lu Yangyang even went inside, she smelled a medicinal odor mixed with the smell of blood. She didn't know if it was from a patient or a doctor who had been attacked.
Inside the small house, several pretty maids were already silent with fear. Just hearing Tu Jiuying's voice made them tremble and kneel down.
Lu Yangyang followed Tu Jiuying inside and caught a glimpse of a man lying on the bed. She couldn't see his face, but she noticed his high, straight nose. For some reason, he looked somewhat familiar.
Lu Yangyang walked in, and there were two doctors kneeling by the bed, not daring to raise their heads.
Tu Jiuying glanced at them and snorted coldly, "Useless trash!"
Then he turned around and called to Lu Yangyang, "Come here, come and take a look."
Lu Yangyang walked over, stood by the bed, and bent down. She saw the face of the person lying on the bed and was so shocked that she cursed in her heart.
It's truly a case of coincidences.
Lu Yangyang blinked lightly.
Long time no see, Lin Wuji.
