"Young Master Lu."
Lu Fei was stopped by someone when he passed by a teahouse. He turned around and saw that the voice belonged to a peasant girl with countless pimples on her face. He took a closer look and realized that this person was Diao Chan from her eyes. He thought to himself that Diao Chan was quite skilled at disguising herself. He almost didn't recognize her.
Lu Fei entered the room and sat beside her. Diao Chan said happily, "Young Master Lu, it's great that you're fine."
Lu Fei asked, "How did you find me? My steps and appearance have changed. "
Diao Chan said, "I was just guessing. I thought your eyes were similar, so I called out. I didn't expect it to really be you."
Lu Fei thought that eyes were indeed the hardest thing to disguise. He said in a low voice, "They've already caught up and are searching the town. Let's leave quickly. Wait for me outside the town, I'll get on the carriage and look for you."
Lu Fei bought a good carriage and four strong horses at the horse market and rushed out of the town. Diao Chan was waiting by the roadside. Not far away, there were two people who were sizing up the town. They were the two gun-wielding brothers who had chased after Lu Fei yesterday.
Lu Fei drove the carriage away as if nothing had happened. When they disappeared from sight, he immediately spurred the horse forward, thinking that they could forget about catching up to him this time. This time, he let Diao Chan drive the carriage while he sat in the carriage to treat his remaining injuries. At the same time, he spent a day and a night to master the second level of the Heaven and Earth Great Shift.
The next morning, a city stood before them. Lu Fei asked the passersby and found that they had indeed arrived at Qiao County. Lu Fei heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We're finally here."
Diao Chan looked at Lu Fei and said, "It was so dangerous yesterday. How did Young Master Lu manage to escape?"
Lu Fei roughly explained the situation and said, "Fortunately, these people were undisciplined and very loose. If it had been a well-trained army of tigers and wolves, I might not have been able to escape alive."
Diao Chan sighed and said, "Young Master Lu is indeed a hero among men. You have been able to escape from the hands of your enemies time and time again. This is truly rare."
Lu Fei smiled indifferently and said, "Let's go."
The two of them put on their disguises again and found an inn to stay in after entering the city. Lu Fei sold the carriage and inquired about the residence of the Miracle Doctor Hua Tuo. He told Diao Chan that he had gone to scout ahead because since the enemy knew that he was going to seek treatment from Hua Tuo, they would definitely be waiting near Hua Tuo's residence, waiting for the final blow.
Hua Tuo lived outside the city. Lu Fei followed the instructions of others and found the place. He saw a manor outside a village, but he did not go near it. He just looked at it from afar, because he knew that there were people watching from other places. If someone went to look for Hua Tuo, they would not be able to avoid being interrogated.
He waited for a long time, but he did not see anyone coming in or out of Hua Tuo's manor. The door was tightly shut, and it did not seem like anyone was home. Lu Fei had a bad premonition. He stopped a passerby and asked, "May I ask if Miracle Doctor Hua Tuo is home recently?"
The man shook his head and said, "Miracle Doctor Hua just left yesterday. He went out to practice medicine."
Lu Fei was shocked and asked, "Where did he go? How can I find him?"
The man said, "I don't know. Sometimes he goes out for three to four days, sometimes he goes out for half a year. As for where to find him, I really don't know."
Lu Fei returned to the inn. Diao Chan saw that his expression was not right and asked, "How was it?"
Lu Fei shook his head and said, "They all said that Hua Tuo went out to practice medicine. I don't know when he will be back, and I don't even know where he went. Sigh."
Diao Chan also looked disappointed and said, "Maybe this is my fate. Young Master Lu, you don't have to worry. Everything is up to fate."
The two of them waited in the inn for a few days. Lu Fei went out to check on the outskirts of the city every day, but Hua Tuo still did not return. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. This was the last day of the deadline. Diao Chan was lying on the bed and could not move. Lu Fei had been using his vital energy to protect Diao Chan. Diao Chan looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight. Her face was also starting to turn pale.
A sense of helplessness rose in Lu Fei's heart. Diao Chan looked at Lu Fei, who was frowning in deep thought, and said, "Young Master Lu, thank you for sending me so far away to seek treatment. I won't make it, but don't be sad."
Lu Fei shook his head and said, "We rushed so far and this is the only result we got? I can't accept this. "
Diao Chan smiled and said, "To be able to get to know someone like Young Master Lu before I die, Diao Chan can die without regrets."
Lu Fei sat in silence. Diao Chan said softly, "Young Master Lu, you haven't heard me play the guqin for you. Can you let me play a song for you?"
Lu Fei said, "Don't move around. What if you trigger the poison? What will happen then?"
Diao Chan said, "I'm afraid that after today, I won't have another chance. Can I play and you sing?"
Lu Fei thought that since she had such a wish, he would fulfill it. He went to the table and placed the guqin in Diao Chan's hands. Diao Chan got up and leaned against the wall. She played the guqin with both hands and said, "That day, Young Master Lu asked me to throw away everything in the carriage. Diao Chan thought for a long time. This was a gift from Young Master Lu, but I couldn't bear to throw it away."
Lu Fei's mouth twitched but he did not say anything. He thought that Diao Chan was probably just thanking him. She already had someone in her heart, so naturally, she would not confess her feelings to him.
Diao Chan said, "Young Master Lu, can you sing a song for me? If I can hear Young Master Lu's song before I die, Diao Chan feels that I will die happier."
Lu Fei's heart was filled with sorrow. He sang, "The person in my dreams, the familiar face, you are the warmth that I have been waiting for …"
Diao Chan played the guqin for accompaniment. When she saw Lu Fei singing seriously, she was mesmerized. She thought that she would think of Wang Heng when her life was in danger, but now, even she did not realize that Wang Heng's shadow had been pulled further and further away from her heart. At this moment, she could only see the expression on Lu Fei's face as he sang with deep emotions.
When Lu Fei reached the emotional part of his song, everyone in the inn listened attentively. They could feel the helplessness and sorrow in his song. Many of them could not help but cry. When he finished singing, he suddenly heard someone shouting from downstairs, "It specializes in curing all kinds of difficult diseases. Heart Punishing Pill, Arsenic Poison, Snake Venom …"
Lu Fei immediately ran to the window and looked down. He saw a person carrying an umbrella walking and singing continuously. Lu Fei's first thought was that this was an enemy's trap.
