Chapter 58: Chapter 60 Difficult to Save with Good Medicine Chapter 58: Chapter 60 Difficult to Save with Good Medicine Nightfall descended like ink, the piercing and intense sounds of combat echoing from the woods, startling the perched birds into chaotic flight. “Pingzi, take them and leave,” a middle-aged attendant ordered, cutting through the throat of an assailant dressed in black, and shouting fiercely. “Uncle.” Pingzi, a young attendant fighting back-to-back with him, had reddened eyes and was about to turn back. “Go.” The middle-aged attendant gasped for breath: “Protect them well, hurry, this is an order.” Pingzi’s throat choked up, his footsteps light, he made several leaps and reached the carriage that had been split in two, pulling out two children, ready to mount the horse. “You take the little brother,” the elder child handed over the gasping younger one in her arms to him. “Young Miss, what about you?” The girl called Young Miss turned her head around, and had there been light, her face smeared in blood would be clearly visible; yet her eyes remained calm yet filled with loathing. She grabbed another horse, swiftly mounted, glanced back at the middle-aged attendant still tangled in battle, bit her lip hard, and turned her head around: “Let’s go.” She led the way, and Pingzi, carrying the child, urged his horse to follow. Seeing their escape, a black-robed man wanted to pursue. Emitting a piercing shriek, the middle-aged attendant pounced forward, his long sword dancing, and thrust. The sounds of combat faded behind them; Xi Zheng wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, pursed his lips, and spurred his horse back the way they came, galloping off. At that moment, in the quiet village, Qin Liuxi and the others had just finished their dinner at a farmer’s home and were enjoying their tea. The sound of horse hooves approached. Qin Liuxi set down his teacup; it was good tea, but there was no time left to savor it. “Chen Pi, have the host boil a big pot of hot water.” “Right away.” Qi Qian looked towards Qin Liuxi, his lips parted as if to speak, but he said nothing. The sound of horse hooves rose outside the farmhouse courtyard. Huo Lang, who was on guard outside, quickly entered and saluted towards Qi Qian: “Young Master, they have indeed returned, and it seems they are seriously injured.” The scent of blood could be smelled from afar. “Please, Young Master, grant us medicine to save lives.” Outside, a crisp voice arose, followed by a faint thud, perhaps someone had knelt down. “Doctor Qin, what do you think?” Qin Liuxi lazily said: “I’m only here to provide medical service because of your invitation; I’m your guest, and it’s not up to me to decide.” “Go and have a look,” Qi Qian stood up. Qin Liuxi glanced at him and said: “Young Master Qi is indeed warm-hearted, unafraid of attracting trouble.” Qi Qian stood with his hands behind his back, and on hearing this, looked over and said: “Isn’t Doctor Qin also fearless? You even had Little Chen Pi make preparations.” Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow and also stood up: “I see if there’s silver to be made. Let’s go and have a look.” Several people left the house and, indeed, saw someone kneeling outside the courtyard, face covered in blood, a young girl, and behind her by one step, a young attendant held a child who was barely alive. Judging by the bloodstains on their bodies, and that only a few remained, it wasn’t hard to imagine that they had experienced a bloody and fierce battle; otherwise, more would have been left. Xi Zheng saw Qi Qian, and a step behind him, Qin Liuxi, then prostrated on the ground, pleading: “Please, Young Master, out of kindness, grant good medicine to save my brother’s life.” Qin Liuxi looked at the child and said with hands behind his back: “He is close to death; even good medicine might not save him.” Good medicine might not save him, but she could. Xi Zheng’s body trembled, she sharply raised her head to look at Qin Liuxi, wanting to argue, but once she saw his eyes, the tears she held back rolled down. This young master was not telling lies; she knew. Xi Zheng crawled forward on her knees, kneeling in front of Qin Liuxi, and said: “Save him, Young Master, and my life is yours!”
