The boss was generous and nodded, saying, “Sure, but the carriage is used for transporting goods, so it might not be very comfortable to sit in.”
“No problem, no problem, as long as we can sit!”
King Jin, with a beaming smile, lifted Lin Qianqing onto the goods-loaded carriage, then took the reins from the coachman’s hands, leading the horse and following the caravan westward.
The morning sunlight gradually rose, casting long shadows behind the caravan.
A gentle breeze blew across their faces, making even breathing feel much easier.
The long-held repression gradually transformed them into different people, people reborn anew, as they journeyed westward through the wind and rain.
It’s been more than a month since Yu Jizi left, and Gu Youyou also successfully healed the Empress Dowager’s wounds, yet her status in Nanzhao had not progressed at all, which worried her.
She took a deep breath and said to Jin Zijin, “Why don’t I go around visiting various villages with Searcy tomorrow as a traveling doctor?”
Jin Zijin pondered for a moment, then said, “It’s possible, but just imagine the scene: a witch doctor going to Zhuzhao Country as a traveling doctor?”
“Of course, there will still be people willing to accept it, like those who are critically ill and the witch doctors have already pronounced them dead. However, if you treat such people and they end up dying, it will only further damage your reputation.”
Gu Youyou fell silent, this was considering the situation with patients willing to give it a try, but in Nanzhao more people were unwilling to believe in doctors from Zhuzhao Country. Encountering a doctor like her visiting, it would probably be like an ordinary Zhuzhao household suddenly being told their fortune by an old man with a celestial guide marking, only to be told their luck was running out, and they’d be driven away.
But what other options were there if they didn’t do this?
Recently, she and Yue Rujing have been wandering around deceiving and inquiring about Magic Poisonous Insect Techniques from Nanzhao Country.
In this world, what task is not difficult? For many people, simply wanting to live is hard.
After pondering for a while, Gu Youyou raised her head, gritted her teeth and said, “I need to go, we have to at least try. Getting started is always the hardest part; saying a thousand words is not as good as taking a single step. Once you take the first step, it’s not difficult. Even the hardest paths are made by people walking them.”
Jin Zijin paused for a moment, then smiled, “Alright, tomorrow we will split up and act. You all be careful and avoid any conflicts with others.”
Gu Youyou had never been one to sit idly and await disaster, everyone was well aware of this.
A new batch of medicine had arrived, and rather than climbing the mountains to gather herbs themselves, it was better to have them delivered from Jisheng Hall. Gu Youyou and Searcy also packed their medicine boxes, preparing to visit each village.
Jin Zijin and Yue Rujing had already left, this time heading to a slightly more distant village; they wouldn’t be back for several days, leaving Gui Yunxi at the post house to watch the door.
Gui Yunxi’s coachman was rendered useless in Nanzhao Country. Here, the many mountain roads meant transporting items was done by people using backpacks, and only a few official roads were passable for carriages.
And the village Gu Youyou and the others were headed to had no need for carriage drivers.
After lamenting, he could only stay.
However, just as Gu Youyou and Searcy were heading out with their medicine boxes, they unexpectedly received good news.
This actually started yesterday.
Prince Fifteen, whose actions were unpredictable, unexpectedly had a change of heart and decided to help them. Check latest chapters at novel⸺fire.net
