Chapter 10, Practicing Medicine in Other Countries
Lin Yan pondered for a moment and said, "My name is Mu Yu." The old man quickly noted her name on a yellowed page of a book
However, Lin Yan did not like to stay in one place for too long. Choosing a day, she bid farewell to the villagers and began her wandering life again
At this moment, a plump middle-aged man walked to the front of the stage, bowed to the audience below, and picked up the amplification magical device in his hand, saying: "Welcome everyone to our annual public performance at Yuru Tower. I would like to express my gratitude for your support and patronage of Yuru Tower." The audience below erupted in cheers
Upon entering the room, Lin Yan saw that in the humble interior, a wooden bed was covered with a straw mat, which was patched in many places. Two women were busy there, sweating profusely; one was running around organizing something, while the other urged the woman in bed, saying, "Push, push harder." The baby's head was about to emerge, and hair could be seen, but the mother had lost her strength, weakly groaning, "Mm-hmm."

The baby's head was about to emerge, and hair could be seen, but the mother had lost her strength, weakly groaning, "Mm-hmm."
While she was conducting the preliminary cleaning, a group of knights entered the village. They inquired about Lin Yan's whereabouts and came directly here. The leading knight rode up to Lin Yan, did not dismount, and arrogantly said: "Are you the esteemed Divine Healer? Our lord the Marquis requests your presence to treat his ailment"
Before long, a strong young man in his twenties walked in; it was the young man named Xishiluo who had been grieving earlier. He was followed by several elderly villagers, presumably the village elders. As soon as the young man approached Lin Yan, he knelt on one knee and offered her the greatest salute of the empire. Lin Yan was taken by surprise and was at a loss as she received this gesture.
In this place where medical knowledge is exceedingly scarce, Lin Yan's arrival was like a gust of wind, quickly spreading in all directions. Subsequently, patients began to arrive one after another. At this point, Lin Yan, who had initially only intended to pause briefly, found herself unable to leave.
The parturient was also extremely anxious, her face already flushed from holding her breath. Perhaps the labor had lasted too long, and she had exhausted all her strength. The redness on her face was tinged with a pallid hue, covered in sweat, and her tightly clenched lips had also turned pale
The villagers nearby had grown accustomed to the disdain of these so-called nobles, long retreating to the sidelines and daring not to speak much. Lin Yan, hailing from the Central Plains, did not share their sense of hierarchy. Upon hearing this, she felt a surge of anger and said, "In my eyes, there are only patients and healthy individuals, not commoners and nobles!" Throughout her speech, she did not once glance at the knight.
Lin Yan then used water magic to cleanse Nengzi and also healed the tearing of her vagina that occurred during childbirth
Lin Yan did not raise her head, continuing with her tasks while saying, "Please wait a moment."
Young Master Yu is quite different; he performs a sword dance. His performance is extremely elegant, complemented by his white attire, with the fabric fluttering gracefully, and his demeanor is calm, almost like a celestial being! Unlike others, he does not showcase his physique much; his athletic build is completely concealed by the long white robe. As the sword lights flash by, his handsome features also flicker in and out, like a butterfly dancing among the flowers. With each sword strike and every movement, he is natural and fluid, composed and self-assured, exuding an air of elegance!

Lin Yan actually did not intend to eat those things she had begged for; there were still some barbecued meat and other delicacies in her bracelet. However, she could only dare to take them out to fill her stomach late at night when no one was around
That boy is small and thin, with a pair of bright, darting eyes, which immediately reveal him to be a somewhat clever little character from the streets. Ye Quanfan saw six or seven thieves, yet he singled him out to catch, precisely because of this.
These four women each possess beauty comparable to that of Ai Hu and Bing, which is secondary; what is more important is their attire. Just by observing the gasps and drooling expressions of the men in the venue, one can discern how alluring they are.
The young man was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he choked out, "Thank you, you are truly a divine messenger sent to help us poor people." Perhaps overwhelmed by emotion, he fell to the ground and began to cry. Those nearby quickly helped him up.
Where have the three of them ever witnessed such a scene? In an instant, they were all dazzled and entranced, utterly captivated! Around them, waves of fervent applause erupted from time to time, and the three found themselves increasingly stirred with passion, unable to restrain themselves from joining in the clapping, even Ye Quanfan was no exception
Even though Yeqian Fan is exceptionally astute, he cannot fathom how the stunningly beautiful Lin Yan, with her alluring presence, could endure such suffering! His search for her has primarily focused on inns and residences, at most extending to a brief search among the common people. The idea of Lin Yan, in her current state as a beggar, never crossed his mind. Not only him, but anyone else in his position would also struggle to comprehend that Lin Yan could endure this torment, which is more painful than death itself, just to escape from him.
Moreover, her water magic has also made progress, as she can now summon water spheres the size of a fist from mere droplets, and can use it continuously for hundreds of times. In this regard, her level has already reached that of the academy's instructors. This water has a remarkable effect on cleaning wounds, capable of healing any serious external injury without leaving any scars. During the time Lin Yan was a beggar, she endured quite a few beatings, and all the bruises on her body were healed with this water. This water has a remarkable effect on cleaning wounds, capable of healing any serious external injury without leaving any scars. During the time Lin Yan was a beggar, she endured quite a few beatings, and all the bruises on her body were healed with this water.
Lin Yan possesses an immense amount of gold, ranking among the wealthiest in the empire. Women inherently have a fervor for shopping, and along this journey, she has purchased a considerable amount of grain seeds. Now, upon arriving at a dwarf's shop, she presented the style and size of silver needles to the shopkeeper, requesting the customization of several dozen sets.
The flies continued to buzz around her, a situation Lin Yan had grown accustomed to. For the past few days, she had been stationed in this corner. In the first three days, she endured several beatings from beggars who claimed she was encroaching on their territory. It was only after she agreed to hand over everything she begged for that they allowed her to stay here
Lin Yan felt quite uncomfortable in the atmosphere of the scene. She was a person of modest disposition and somewhat lacking in social skills, and she did not know how to handle such a situation. An elder sensed her embarrassment and said, "Alright, let us all step outside. Now, let Yuan Zhi take the esteemed doctor to have something to eat and take a rest." After saying this, he bowed to Lin Yan and added, "If the esteemed one has any requests, please feel free to speak. In our village, we will do our utmost to fulfill any request that we are capable of."
Not bad, but it's too short. However, do not forget that we have even more exciting arrangements ahead. Now, let us welcome the four renowned flowers of Yuru Tower. At this moment, Ye Quanfan and the other two realized that Yuru Tower was also a brothel!
The knight was enraged, drew his sword, and pointed it at Lin Yan, "You commoner, how dare you speak such words? Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
One of the women said, "Nengzi, you must exert yourself! Push harder! The child is about to come out." After saying this, she added with a slight sob, "The child's head is already visible; if you don't push harder, what are we going to do?"
At this moment, Lin Yan had made up her mind to practice medicine. She had quite a bit of money to use, but in order to travel around, she needed an identity for disguise. She planned to slowly wander through various places in the empire while waiting for her dantian to fully recover. According to her estimation, it would take at least three years for her internal energy to restore. During this time, let me be a wandering physician, she thought to herself with a hint of self-mockery.
In the past two days, the entire Fengyue Street has been searching for an outsider both openly and covertly. This individual has only recently infiltrated Fengyue Street within the last three days. If he can be found unharmed, a generous reward will be granted by Boss Chas. Naturally, this directive was issued by Chas, the underground leader of Fengyue Street.
I can no longer concern myself with so much; I will treat it as a leisurely excursion. After all, I have plenty of money and no worries.
As Lin Yan understood, she had likely encountered a defensive formation! This formation is something that almost everyone who has reached the innate realm in her sect would study. What she could not comprehend was how such a profound formation could exist in this western continent. It was simply unbelievable
Lin Yan felt curious and stopped in her tracks. She overheard a middle-aged woman saying, "What should we do? Why is she still unable to give birth?" "Yes, it's already been most of the day; the labor is taking too long, and she is losing strength. I am truly afraid she won't be able to hold on any longer." Several older individuals nearby shook their heads, their faces filled with concern. An elderly man, his face lined with wrinkles and sporting a gray beard, spoke to a young man sitting there with his head in his hands, saying, "Xishiluo, do not be disheartened; there is still hope. I am truly afraid she won't be able to endure much longer." The elderly man continued, "God will surely help you save your wife and child." The speaker's eyes were red, and his voice trembled with emotion. The young man did not lift his head; from the veins bulging on the back of his hand, it was evident that he was fiercely tugging at his own hair.
As the days passed, Ye Quanfan appeared increasingly agitated. For the past seven or eight days, he had nearly turned the entire Fengyue Street upside down, yet he had not seen a single trace. Seeing him restless, Lundo said: "Master, we arrived in this obscure land quite inexplicably; is it possible that Miss Lin Yan has already reached the Empire?"
Lin Yan took a look and then tried the pulse of the parturient, discovering that it was merely a case of ordinary dystocia. However, due to the prolonged delay, the parturient was already too weak to deliver on her own. If immediate rescue was not provided, both mother and child would be in jeopardy. Without further ado, she took out the silver needles and used water magic to disinfect the needles and the Hegu acupoint of the woman (the use of water magic for disinfection was something Lin Yan had experimented with long ago. She thought, since water magic had such remarkable effects on external injuries, why not use it to replace fire disinfection? After trying it, she found the results to be excellent). She then inserted the silver needles into the Hegu acupoints of the woman's hands. As she manipulated the needles, the woman let out a muffled groan and then suddenly screamed. The woman beside her shouted loudly, "It’s coming out, it’s coming out!" Her voice was hoarse and tinged with tears, yet it revealed a heart full of joy
Dwarves are born craftsmen, and the magical civilization here is also quite advanced. Although the item mentioned by Lin Yan was something they had never seen before, they managed to produce it all within three days. Lin Yan tested it and found that its elasticity and toughness were excellent, far superior to the gold needles from the Central Plains. She was overjoyed and immediately paid ten gold coins before leaving the shop
Lin Yan slowly savored the drink in her hand, watching the smiling faces of people bustling about, and she too felt the joy of new life being born. Now, almost all the villagers had come over to see the newborn, and many had also come to chat with Lin Yan. Lin Yan did not like to talk much, merely responding perfunctorily. The respect and gratitude reflected in those people's eyes made Lin Yan feel that the bonds of friendship among these impoverished individuals were precious
Then, they tore off the masks they were wearing, revealing four exceptionally handsome faces
Ye Quanfan looked gloomily at the reports that kept coming in, none of which were satisfactory! A total of 756 individuals had been searched, including men, women, and children, yet not a single one met the criteria! With five days already gone by, if they couldn't find her soon, Lin Yan would most likely have left the city. The leader at the city gate had already given them 100 gold coins on the day she went missing, asking them to keep an eye out for her. No matter how he thought about it, Lin Yan couldn't possibly have left. So where could she be?
Finally, as the last beat of the drum sounded, the four individuals stood still in an extremely graceful pose, remaining motionless for a long time. After a while, they then came together, standing side by side, and bowed to the audience
The performance has come to a temporary pause, and the plump middle-aged man, with a beaming smile, steps onto the stage and says: "Ladies and gentlemen, having just witnessed the performance of the Four Young Masters, do you not feel quite satisfied?" Below, the voices of "satisfied" resound deafeningly. "It was just too short!" someone remarks.
In recent days, she has refrained from thinking about everything from the past. Moreover, if one cannot see through the ways of the world or the nature of love, how can one achieve success in cultivation? Since the signs of recovery have appeared in her dantian, her aspiration for successful cultivation and the Golden Elixir Path has also been restored. The essence of cultivation is to be devoid of emotions and desires; since she no longer intends to find a man to marry, the matter of losing her virginity has become insignificant.
Ye Quanfan fell into deep thought upon hearing these words. Indeed, the three of them must have inadvertently entered this land of darkness while being pursued by the city guards. Although they still cannot ascertain what kind of place this is or how far it is from the Empire, it is entirely different from the Empire, and it might very well be akin to the underground cities of the dwarves as described in legends
At that moment, when no one was watching him, the little beggar who had been kicked by him rolled his eyes back, revealing a pair of sparkling black eyes. It turned out to be Lin Yan
In Lin Yan's distraction, after the young master finished his performance, the dream master took the stage
He stood there with an elegant demeanor, his sea-blue eyes sweeping over the crowd, eliciting a chorus of cheers and gasps. A slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was both enigmatic and charming, further accentuating his refined and graceful presence
This young man not only possesses the beauty of a stunning woman, but his movements and glances are also remarkably similar. However, what does not feel awkward is that within his femininity lies a certain elegance that makes it impossible not to feel fondness for him. His dance, much like his persona, is enchanting yet carefree, with each movement being exquisitely graceful, as if devoid of bones. This extremely feminine style of movement, when performed by him, presents a uniquely pleasing sight.
A group of ruffians swaggered down the street. The leader, while walking, kicked at a beggar who was huddled in a corner. However, upon glancing at the beggar's grotesque face with his bulging white eyes and catching a whiff of the foul odor that attracted flies buzzing around him, the leader became furious and hurried into a nearby shop. He grabbed a shop's window cloth and began to clean his shoes. As he wiped, he cursed, "I am such a fool! What was the point of kicking that filthy beggar? All it did was dirty my shoes." After a moment of thought, he spat viciously and glared at the shop owner who was cowering inside. Seeing the shop owner shiver, he stepped out of the store with satisfaction, muttering, "What bad luck!"
Lin Yan gently pushed aside his sword with her index finger and said, "Step aside a little, do not disturb my treatment"
She was actually afraid to go into the crowd. Although the mountains and forests were lonely, they suited her current state of mind, and she did not find it苦. She kept gathering herbs and making medicine, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. She had prepared most of the commonly used medicinal materials and had also discovered quite a few precious herbs like ginseng. Although the ginseng was not necessarily as large as the ones she brought from her hometown, it was still quite good wild mountain ginseng. During this time, she also refined quite a few elixirs, of course, these were just ordinary healing elixirs, and she did not yet have the ability to refine true elixirs.

After a brief pause, he said: "Alright, let's not indulge in idle chatter. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy a dance performed by our four young masters together." With that, he waved his hand backward and stepped down.
Now, she has been staying in this place called Laizi Village for three months
Although she walked slowly, she eventually arrived at the Duchy of Shacha on that day
Every movement of theirs, in addition to being graceful, also carries a certain seductive allure. Many people are now blushing, their eyes filled with a dazed expression
It seems that this is also the arrangement of this formation, and that stone should be where the formation gate is located. When a person appears at this formation gate for the second time, they will be teleported out. Such an arrangement is significantly more sophisticated than the formation encountered last time in Luodu Town
As the middle-aged man revealed a strange smile, the drums sounded again, and four beautiful women emerged
Lin Yan walked in; it appeared to be a commoner's home, with not many valuable items inside. No wonder the owner left so at ease.
The elder beside was also very moved. Here, the profession of a physician and pastor is highly esteemed, and they generally associate closely with the nobility. For ordinary commoners, hiring a physician and pastor requires at least five silver coins, not to mention the consultation fees charged after treatment. Lin Yan saved the mother and child of Nengzi, who were on the brink of despair, and even five gold coins would be worth it. However, although every household has surplus grain, this one silver coin was gathered by Xishiluo from five families.
At this moment, in the hearts and eyes of everyone, there remain only these four bodies, seemingly crafted by the heavens, along with their captivatingly handsome faces
Finally, she arrived in the city! Lin Yan was unsure of her own feelings. Looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She strolled slowly, purchasing everything that caught her eye. Thanks to the space bracelet, she always appeared quite relaxed.
For external injuries, traditional Chinese medicine has never had a very effective treatment method. Now, with this water magic, combined with the internal treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, Lin Yan can be considered an exceptionally outstanding doctor
As Young Master stepped out, he had changed into a black long robe, underneath which was a fitted garment. This outfit seemed to be custom-made for him, featuring a style that Lin Yan had never seen before. The fitted garment was silver in color, perfectly showcasing Young Master's flawless physique, which accentuated the smile on his handsome face, rendering it extraordinarily alluring. It was a kind of charm that made one want to escape yet felt utterly unable to do so.

They each remained in their poses, completely still, resembling four exquisitely crafted sculptures. At that moment, a sudden drumbeat was heard, and the four individuals jolted in response to the sound! Gradually, their bodies began to relax, stepping to the rhythm of the drum, turning to jump towards their respective diagonal directions, each step accompanied by a distinct pose. With each beat of the drum, their bodies seemed to be struck, coming to an abrupt halt! In the interplay of movement and stillness, they moved like a panther in the wilderness, graceful and composed; when still, they resembled a sculpture, indescribably captivating! With each beat of the drum, their bodies seemed to be struck, coming to an abrupt halt! In the interplay of movement and stillness, they moved like a panther in the wilderness, graceful and composed; when still, they resembled a sculpture, indescribably captivating! Every action they took stirred great excitement among the onlookers.
She fell into deep thought, this was exactly the same as the last time she left Luodu Town with Ye Quanfan and the others! This situation, in colloquial terms, is referred to as "ghost hitting the wall"
At that moment, the woman who brought Lin Yan in shouted, "Quick, make some room, I have brought the doctor." Upon hearing this, the two women quickly stepped aside, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at Lin Yan
Ye Quanfan looked on with great interest at the vibrant colors he had never seen before, and only after the four women exited the stage did he, like everyone else, awaken from his trance. He turned his head happily, only to see Lundoqi still gaping, lost in ecstasy, which made him chuckle. Suddenly, his expression changed, and the smile froze on his face! Where is Lin Yan?! Why can't he see Lin Yan?! He quickly rushed to Lundoqi, shook him awake, and asked urgently, "Have you seen Lin Yan?" Seeing Lundoqi's bewildered expression, his heart sank continuously! Suddenly, his expression changed, and the smile froze on his face! Where is Lin Yan?! Why can't he see Lin Yan?! He quickly rushed to Lundoqi, shook him awake, and asked urgently, "Have you seen Lin Yan?" Seeing Lundoqi's bewildered expression, his heart sank continuously!
Lin Yan gently placed the items back into the young man's hands and said, "I am a wanderer who travels the four corners of the world. I once made a vow to the divine that I would not accept any payment from the poor when treating their ailments. You should take it back." Fearing that the young man might insist, she added, "Please consider my faith!"
The Haster Empire has not experienced war for over a thousand years, coupled with a simple and honest folk culture, where every household has stored provisions. Therefore, Lin Yan has traveled quite safely along her journey. Moreover, although she lacks internal strength, she is more than capable of dealing with ordinary people. It is precisely for this reason that she is filled with confidence regarding her upcoming career as a traveling doctor
Upon hearing these words, the surrounding civilians were moved to tears, and the villager who had been treated by Lin Yan was even more so. He silently vowed in his heart: for the rest of his life, should the Divine Shepherd give any command, he would go through fire and water, unafraid of a thousand deaths!
Upon opening her eyes, Lin Yan found the scenery around her somewhat familiar. Wasn't this the forest she passed through when she got lost after leaving the Duchy of Norton that day? What kind of existence was that land of darkness? Could it be that the formation was the barrier separating the land of darkness from the Empire? Such a grand undertaking could only be accomplished by an immortal, right?
Lin Yan glanced quietly at Ye Quanfan, noticing him standing with his arms crossed and a faint smile on his lips. Upon seeing Lin Yan looking over, he broke into a smile directed at her. Lin Yan quickly turned her head away, thinking to herself: "Is there any way to make him completely captivated by the stage? That way, I can escape." She fixed her gaze on the stage, while secretly waiting for the right moment.
The child emerged but did not make a sound, his little face turning blue and purple, having lingered too long in the birth canal. A woman picked him up by his feet and gave his little bottom a hard slap. In an instant, a loud cry of the infant echoed throughout the house and outside! Several women simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, one of them even sitting down abruptly on the ground. It seemed to be due to having been in a state of high tension, utterly exhausted, and suddenly being able to relax.
Suddenly, she found herself meeting Londo's gaze
Ye Quanfan looked at his proud demeanor and coldly said: "Contact the biggest boss in this Fengyue City for me. If there are multiple bosses, invite them all. Just say that I want to spend one thousand gold coins to find an outsider in the city. Once the task is accomplished, I will reward you with three gold coins." Upon hearing that the matter was so simple and that there were gold coins to be earned, the old hand was overjoyed, scratching his ears and cheeks, moving restlessly on the spot. He responded loudly: "Alright!" and ran off.
Four elongated figures danced on the stage, intertwining with the lights of the night, exuding an indescribable aura of mystery and beauty. Four distinctively handsome faces swayed before the audience, occasionally revealing a tempting smile with their movements, stirring the hearts of onlookers even more!
As the chairs had just reached halfway up, four men leaped down from the chairs, gracefully spinning in the air, each striking a different pose as they landed at the four corners of the stage. Their movements were agile, coordinated, and crisp, creating a visually stunning display. The audience erupted into thunderous applause.
Ye Quanfan promised to give him one thousand gold coins after finding Lin Yan, and additionally, he would first provide one hundred gold coins as expenses for the search. Naturally, Chas readily agreed. What a joke! A full one thousand gold coins! This was the income of this underground gang for nearly a year. Moreover, it was just about finding someone on his own territory.
The knight trembled with anger, yet he dared not truly harm Lin Yan. After all, he was sent by his master to invite her to treat an illness, not to engage in a duel! Therefore, despite his intense fury, he had no choice but to endure it. His character had always been proud; he had never experienced such humiliation or endured such disdain. He coldly laughed to himself: very well, once I have healed the injuries for the marquis, I will seek her out for a duel
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan stepped forward and said to a middle-aged woman, "Is there a situation here where childbirth is not going smoothly? I am a medical pastor, let me take a look." The woman was overjoyed upon hearing this, and the people around, whether sitting, standing, or whispering, all turned their gaze towards Lin Yan.
An elder stepped forward, breaking the stagnant atmosphere at the scene, and asked: "May I ask for your name, my lord? The family of Xishiluo has received your kindness, yet we have no means to repay it. We only hope to remember the name of our benefactor, so that we may pray for you every day in the future"
Two women ran over excitedly and got busy. One woman, holding a child, ran outside and shouted, "Nengzi has given birth, it's a chubby boy! Nengzi has given birth, it's a chubby boy!" Nengzi's husband, Xishiluo, stumbled over, trembling as he reached out to hold the child, his mouth agape and his expression a strange mix of laughter and tears, saying, "I have a son now, my Nengzi is fine, my son is also fine." He was already incoherent! The woman pushed him away with one hand and scolded, "But you can only look! With how happy you are, don't drop the child!" The people nearby burst into laughter, and Xishiluo also grinned foolishly and laughed along.
As Lin Yan left the city, the sky was already darkening, and after walking in the mountains and forests for a while, night fell. The mountain forest at night was indescribably silent. Having lived as a beggar for a few days, she had gained considerable courage. Strolling through the woods, she could only see the hazy moonlight above, casting dancing shadows of trees on the ground. Occasionally, a few caws of crows would break the silence, startling one or two unknown dark figures that swiftly flashed past her.
Having come to this realization, Lin Yan felt a sense of contentment. Consequently, the common folk working in the fields would often see an ordinary-looking woman wandering from one village to another, and from one town to another.
Lin Yan was both terrified and desperate, but she saw Lundo move his lips, and then he lowered his head, turning his eyes back to the stage. She felt a surge of joy in her heart: he had spared her!
Ye Quanfan seized a pickpocket in the crowd and coldly said, "Be quiet, there might still be benefits for you!"
Having said that, he led everyone out.
The intoxicated young master transformed once again, his movements grand and expansive, exuding an extreme sense of style! He showcased a beauty of strength and a masculine charm. During his performance, the cheers from older women were particularly enthusiastic. This intoxicated young master must have won the affection of women of the sisterly class with his robust masculine allure, allowing him to secure a place among the 'Four Great Young Masters' amidst a multitude of exceptionally handsome male courtesans.
Such attire, in this continent, truly deserves to be called astonishing and extraordinary! Lundo and Ye Quanfan both gaped, dazzled by this stunning beauty!
As soon as he went down, there was a sudden "bang" from the stage, and a large cloud of smoke erupted, enveloping the entire stage. At that moment, everyone heard a few sudden "creaking" sounds from above, prompting them to look up.
How should I begin? Lin Yan pondered for a long time but could not come up with a coherent plan. Surely, she could not be like the physicians of the Central Plains, hanging a cloth sign behind her with the words "Healing the World with a Hanging Pot" written on it? Upon envisioning such a scene, she could not help but chuckle silently.
As the drumbeat sounded, the young gentleman lifted his long robe, standing with his long legs crossed. The performance was marked by an urgent drumbeat. With this urgent rhythm, the young gentleman displayed a masculine and powerful demeanor in his every gesture, his strong muscles continuously revealing their perfect curves.
She stiffened all over, cold sweat streaming down! If she missed this opportunity, it would be like alarming the snake in the grass, and similar chances may never come again!
Unintentionally, she has stayed here for six months, and during this period, although her internal injuries have not shown significant improvement, the name of "Divine Shepherd" has already spread far and wide
After just a few steps, Lin Yan arrived at the alley. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and thought, "The urgent task now is to find a place to disguise myself." Fortunately, the streets were almost deserted, as everyone had gone to watch the performance. After walking for a short while, she noticed that the back door of a residence was not properly closed.
Hearing Lin Yan say something like "Do not take the possessions of the poor," which they had never heard before, the villagers looked at Lin Yan with eyes full of reverence. The reason they followed Xishiluo in was that they thought if the doctor-priest found the silver coins too few, they could help plead for mercy and say a few good words. Who would have thought that these good words would be of no use at all
At this moment, there was another earth-shattering cheer, as the crowd shouted and rushed to grab the robes they had discarded. Lin Yan heard someone explain: "Whoever picks up their robes will be their honored guest tonight!" No wonder some people were fighting over these robes! Even more impatient individuals hugged the robes and began to kiss them!
After the four individuals exchanged places, with another round of urgent drumbeats, they quickly began to dance again. Their long robes billowed in the wind, soaring through the air. Suddenly, with a resounding "dong—", the four leaped into the air, waving their hands and lifting their garments, unexpectedly tearing open their robes and tossing them far into the crowd, revealing their fitted undergarments
The four beauties are dressed alike, each adorned with a bandeau that accentuates their jade-like necks and flat abdomens. Below, they wear short skirts that reach only to the upper thighs
Since the Duchy of Norton is located in the east of the Empire, Lin Yan headed towards the Duchy of Nasha in the west. The Duchy of Nasha ranks third among the five great duchies, following Norton and Yaqian.
Such a close search still cannot locate Lin Yan, the only reasonable explanation is that she has already returned to the Empire. After some thought, Ye Quanfan looked at Lundoqi and said, "Then let us prepare to find a way back to the Empire immediately"
Afterwards, Lin Yan went to the countryside of the Shacha Kingdom. The scenery here is pleasant, with lush greenery everywhere. Farmers can be seen working in the fields from time to time, and the chirping of birds is melodious and delightful. She felt very relaxed, and gazing at the leisurely pastoral landscape brought her a sense of joy akin to rebirth
Without further scrutiny, Lin Yan closed her eyes to rest, preparing to seek an opportunity to break the formation as soon as dawn arrived. She sat down on the stone, and suddenly, her vision blurred; the formation shifted, and she unexpectedly found herself outside the formation.
Lin Yan then visited several shops to grind the medicinal materials that needed to be powdered. At the same time, she also purchased some chemical products and other medicines, such as lead powder, realgar, and ox gall. She collected a large quantity of anything that could be used as medicine. Thus, after more than ten days of busy work in the town, she finally prepared everything.
The knight coldly said: "Is it just for this lowly commoner? Lord High Priest, the Marquis will not be able to wait any longer"
The young man said: "Today, it was the esteemed healer from afar who saved the lives of my wife and child. I have no way to repay this kindness, so please accept my humble respect." He presented a silver coin and some local produce. Although this silver coin was not much for Lin Yan, considering the young man's family circumstances, it was likely all he could offer.
This is Lin Yan's plan; she is well aware of Ye Quanfan's character and shrewdness, and only in this way can she catch him off guard
Lin Yan, however, was not afraid at all. Seeing herself become so bold, she couldn't help but smile wryly, realizing that hardships are indeed useful for a person. After walking for about an hour, she suddenly spotted a stone, which was the place where she had just rested. She looked closely and confirmed that it was indeed correct; she had been here before.
Lin Yan thought to herself that if she were to practice medicine, medicinal herbs were indispensable. She still remembered the appearance of the two hundred or so commonly used herbs, as they were all cultivated in the herb garden of the Ruoxu Temple. As she walked, she identified them, either directly placing them into her bracelet or refining them on the spot before storing them away. The Ruoxu Temple had many unique methods of alchemy, which Lin Yan employed one by one, thus gradually spending her days in the mountains and forests.
From each of the four corners of the platform, a round chair slowly rotated downwards! On each round chair sat a man dressed in a black long robe, wearing a black, angular mask.
Lin Yan did not ask him to move and began to tidy up in the vast wilderness
With the departure of the two individuals, the search activities for Lin Yan have also been canceled. Now, she can move around a bit.
More than a year has passed, and during this time, Lin Yan, bearing the name of the Divine Shepherd, has been warmly received wherever she goes. Compared to the self-righteousness and arrogance of the nobility, Lin Yan prefers the simplicity of the rural folk. Therefore, the places she often stays are usually in the countryside
The crowd surged back and forth, and Lin Yan carefully observed Ye Quanfan's reactions while avoiding the throngs of people. Seeing that the four young masters had all finished their performances, she still had not found an opportunity to extricate herself, and a sense of unease began to rise within her.
As the robes fell away, four athletic bodies were revealed, and the drumming suddenly shifted, becoming more urgent. The dance of the four individuals also transformed, becoming passionate and fervent.
As they bowed and saluted, the applause from the audience surged like the sea, continuing endlessly
On that day, a villager in the village went up the mountain to chop firewood and accidentally fell. When Lin Yan went to check, she found that there were no serious injuries, just a few cuts on his thigh, which were stained with blood and looked quite frightening. These wounds were very shallow and would stop bleeding on their own in a short while. All she needed to do was to clean and disinfect the wounds.
Lin Yan moved step by step towards the outside, and she was about to reach the periphery! Once she reached the periphery, there was an alley three meters ahead! As long as she reached that alley, she would succeed! In the midst of extreme tension, she carefully glanced towards Ye Quanfan and the others.
She smeared herself with dirt and then tore two slits in her robe. After thinking for a moment, she decided to roll around in the mud a couple of times. Now, no matter how one looked at it, she was nothing more than a filthy little beggar!
After a while, the plump middle-aged man walked up again. He waved his hand at the crowd, silencing their excited cheers and applause, and said: "Next, the four young masters will take turns performing for us. Now, let us welcome Young Master Ru." With that, he stepped back.
Lin Yan specifically chose to walk through the mountains and forests. Before long, she came across a lake and quickly washed herself, completely removing the disguise of a beggar. After some thought, she transformed herself into a woman with brown hair and numerous freckles on her face. Such a woman was abundant in the Empire. Using the methods recorded in textbooks, she also changed her eyes to blue using water magic.
The woman pulled Lin Yan and ran towards the house, wiping her sweat as she said: "Thank heaven, it seems that this child is not destined to have a short life, to encounter you, Sir Physician, at this moment."
Lin Yan was warmly invited by the villagers to sit in a room inside, which was about ten meters away from Nengzi and their thatched house. It seemed to be a room belonging to a relatively wealthy neighbor or relative. The entire structure was built of mud bricks, and both the interior and exterior were much more beautiful than Nengzi's home
Hurry, let's go out
They twisted their perfect bodies, dancing on stage with a wild grace. The audience below also became enthusiastic, with many even jumping along with them. In an instant, amidst the cheers and the drumbeats, there were also numerous curses from those who had been stepped on.
Lin Yan changed into a black robe, then washed off her makeup and redid her face, transforming into the appearance of a small boy with a black face and gray hair. Although she was naturally intelligent, she had only been learning for a short time, and this disguise, if examined by an expert, would reveal numerous flaws.
On this day, Lin Yan arrived at a remote small village. Under the scorching sun, she passed through a group of playing children, intending to rest in the shade of a tree ahead and enjoy the breeze. As she walked past a thatched cottage, she heard a cacophony of voices inside; people were coming and going both inside and outside the house, and each face bore a look of concern.
Three people arrived at an alleyway, and Ye Quanfan tossed two gold coins at the feet of a young man. The young man was overjoyed and quickly picked them up, bowing repeatedly and obsequiously saying: "Thank you, esteemed sir, for your generosity! As long as you have any orders, this old hand will not hesitate to go through fire and water! Even if it costs me my life, I will ensure that the task is accomplished." Lundoqi found it amusing that the young man, who was younger than himself, referred to himself as an old hand.
Lin Yan watched as Ye Quan and Fan headed towards the city gate of Fengyue City, and as she saw them disappear into the horizon, she could not help but exhale a breath of turbid air that had been tightly held in her chest.
