Chapter 67 The Secret of Heaven Cannot Be Revealed
Cheng Ruoan tugged at Si Shaoheng's sleeve as if grasping at a lifeline.
The two turned to the side and whispered among themselves.
Cheng Ruoan: "It's like this, and like that... how am I supposed to answer that?"
Si Shaoheng curled his lips and looked at her with amusement: "Didn't you say you were afraid that he would prick you with two needles and cause you to become paralyzed? Then you had no choice but to agree."
Cheng Ruoan pouted, her face fell, and she looked utterly dejected: "But studying medicine is very tiring..."
Si Shaoheng feigned surprise: "It's more tiring than hemiplegia?"
Cheng Ruoan: ...
Si Shaoheng laughed: "Don't you think so yourself? He doesn't seem like a simple doctor, does he? These kinds of miracle doctors usually have strange tempers. If they get angry, even your brother-in-law might not be able to stop them."
Cheng Ruoan: !!
“You’re right. Let’s agree for now. Anyway, we can travel together and have an extra family doctor on the road.”
Si Shaoheng resisted the urge to pat her head and smiled slightly: "Hmm. Maybe after a while he'll realize you're not so suited to studying medicine, and he'll go off to be a traveling doctor elsewhere."
"okay!"
Cheng Ruoan's inner turmoil was resolved, and when she sat up, her face was rosy and she had a joyful smile on her face.
“If it’s convenient for you, Dr. Hu, to travel north with us,” she said respectfully, holding a cup full of rice wine, “then, Master, please accept my bow.”
After saying that, he winked and said, "Master, my leg injury hasn't healed yet, so it's really inconvenient for me to kneel. I'll just offer a toast instead. You won't mind, will you?"
Doctor Hu stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "No problem, no problem. When you arrive at your place of residence, you can kneel and kowtow to your master on the day you hold your grand apprenticeship banquet."
Cheng Ruoan: ...
Is it really necessary to embark on the arduous path of "medical student" studies with such solemnity?
She gave a wry smile, tilted her head back, and downed the glass of wine she had offered to her master.
The rest of the Si and Cheng family members were all stunned.
This... this is how he became an apprentice to a highly skilled doctor?!
It sounds like this doctor is going to come north with us and settle down?!
No.
Even a novel wouldn't dare to write something like this, right?
How did I end up picking up silver notes, sleeping pills, and medical books from a bandit stronghold, and now I've even found a master?
But in the afternoon, after Village Chief Wang personally led a group of people to help Doctor Hu bring all his luggage to the dilapidated temple and settled several silver notes as payment for his medical services in Hulu Village for more than a year, everyone was no longer shocked.
Because I was already numb with shock.
Who is this Doctor Hu?
How could someone who stayed in the village for a year earn hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver in medical fees?
What kinds of illnesses are you seeing?
What kind of country bumpkin would dare to get such an expensive illness?
Dr. Hu didn't explain much, and Si Shaoheng and Cheng Ruoan didn't ask any more questions, as if everything was normal.
Since both of their team leaders acted this way, no one else dared to say a word.
However, when Cheng Ruo'an asked her master if the travel permit would make it easier to travel, Doctor Hu still let slip a hint to her.
Doctor Hu: "My travel permit is different from that of ordinary people. As long as I do not own property or land, I can go anywhere in the entire Great Xia territory without any hindrance."
Suppressing her curiosity, Cheng Ruoan gave a thumbs up: "No wonder you're my master, you're really amazing!"
Dr. Hu just stroked his beard and smiled. When he was in a good mood, he even asked Village Chief Wang to send over another mule cart for him and his apprentice to use on their journey north.
Now, we have no choice but to rearrange the vehicle usage on the road.
Cheng Ruoan didn't want to use her brain, so she left the arrangements to Si Shaoheng, while she went back to the back room to make gauze masks and take care of the children with the women.
As dusk fell, the people in the dilapidated temple who had already eaten their evening meal went to bed early.
They all slept with their clothes on.
Everything was loaded onto the vehicle.
They were just waiting for Cheng's mother's instructions in the middle of the night, and then they had to get up quickly and prepare to leave Hulu Village.
child time.
Si Shaoheng carried Cheng Ruoan on his back, and together with Shao Yang, they disappeared into the night, taking a secluded path unknown to anyone, leaving Hulu Village and onto the main road.
After taking a detour of half a mile, we set off again on the mountain road leading to Panlongzhai.
The three of them went up the mountain. To ensure speed, Shao Yang and Si Shaoheng took turns carrying Cheng Ruoan.
Si Shaoheng and Cheng Ruoan, both modern people, didn't think it was a big deal.
Shaoyang was quite embarrassed.
Si Shaoheng brainwashed him: "Shaoyang, didn't you say you considered us as half-bosses? From now on, Ruo'an and I won't call you brother-in-law anymore. Don't think of yourself as someone who's carrying your sister-in-law on your back. Just think of yourself as someone who's working like a slave for your boss. Does that make you feel less uneasy?"
Cheng Ruoan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, we're going to steal the sleeping powder now so that we can get on the official road and leave Bachuan Prefecture smoothly."
"This is to escape, Xiao Yangzi! You can't be so stubborn as to court death!"
Even if they were born in ancient times, let alone modern people, they would both feel that the strict separation between men and women should give way to survival.
Shaoyang: ...
Xiao Yangzi... is acting strange.
But it also sounds strangely familiar.
This sense of familiarity made him feel that it was perfectly normal to carry his master or employer on his back.
With Cheng Ruoan on his back, he ran even faster, his feet barely touching the ground.
He could even calmly turn around and ask Si Shaoheng, "Boss, can you keep up?"
Si Shaoheng's lips twitched. "Okay, the martial arts manual I mentioned to you teaches lightness skills."
"Cultivation technique? What cultivation technique?" Cheng Ruoan asked in surprise.
Si Shaoheng: "I'll tell you in detail when I have time. We're almost at Panlong Village, so get ready."
"Oh." Cheng Ruoan was sensible and didn't ask any further questions.
But Shao Yang couldn't help but ask Si Shaoheng and Cheng Ruoan, "Boss, boss lady, I know you're different from others, but I really can't understand how you could have managed to get the boss lady to take away something that you three brothers couldn't move."
"Wait a minute, Xiao Yangzi, you should call us by our names from now on," Cheng Ruoan said, her eyes spinning from hearing him call her "boss" and "boss's wife" so often.
"Okay, Shaoheng, Xiaoan. Can you tell me? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep while I'm hugging your eldest sister!"
Si Shaoheng and Cheng Ruoan have too many secrets; they're too strange.
But it is true that these two people are his wife's younger sister and brother-in-law. No matter how the Si family or the Cheng family probed and inquired about the details, they did not find any trace of someone disguising and impersonating him.
Cheng Ruoan and Si Shaoheng exchanged a glance but did not answer immediately.
But when they arrived at the large medicinal field five or six miles away from Panlong Village, Cheng Ruoan conjured up a "Heavenly Secret Pill" in front of Shao Yang out of thin air.
Si Shaoheng also hid the stun gun that Cheng Ruoan had secretly given him in his sleeve.
After Shao Yang swallowed the Maltesers without hesitation, Cheng Ruoan said to him seriously, "Brother-in-law, the poison you just swallowed is called 'Heavenly Secrets Must Not Be Revealed.' If you reveal even the slightest thing about our 'supernatural powers' to anyone in the future, you will be punished by Heaven. You can try it if you don't believe me..."
