Chapter 320 Galloping on Horseback, Scholar Yu Si
On the official road leading from Jiaxian County to Huanling City.
Three fine horses were galloping swiftly along the official road.
The three women on horseback moved with astonishing speed, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
Wherever they went, they stirred up dust and fallen leaves from the roadside.
Even the low-lying flowers and grass by the roadside were rustling loudly.
These three were Qin Lingxing, Shui'er, and Xiao He, who had set off from Jiaxian County a few days ago to return to Huanling City.
Qin Lingxing took the lead and ran at the very front.
Shui'er and Xiao He followed closely behind her, about ten meters behind.
Xiaohe turned to look at Shui'er beside her and asked in a loud voice, "Shui'er, why hasn't Brother Afu caught up yet?"
Shui'er's voice carried a hint of uncertainty through the sound of the wind.
"I don't know. Maybe we rushed too much these past few days and he couldn't catch up for a while."
Xiaohe frowned slightly: "I'm wondering if he's reluctant to leave the children and wants to stay a few more days?"
"maybe."
Shui'er glanced at Fang Qinlingxing's back and lowered her voice: "Didn't you see? Ever since Sister Qinlingxing heard the news about the Spirit King..."
She remained distracted, and seemed unusually anxious as she traveled.
Xiaohe sighed: "But we clearly agreed that we would wait for Brother Afu to catch up on the way."
If we keep rushing like this, Brother Fu won't be able to keep up with us!
"Keep your voice down. If Sister Qin Lingxing hears this, she'll probably urge us to hurry up again."
She had barely finished speaking when Qin Lingxing's voice came from ahead.
"What are you two dawdling for? Hurry up and catch up!"
Hearing the urging voice, Xiaohe couldn't help but stick out her tongue, her face showing a hint of helplessness.
Shui'er gave her a look that said, "See, I told you so."
Without further delay, the two urged their horses to give chase.
The shadows of the trees on both sides of the official road rushed past, and the wind whistled in my ears.
The three figures quickly separated by some distance.
Only the rapid sound of horses' hooves could be heard as they galloped toward the City of Illusions.
Within the territory of Nanyang City.
The prescription of the Valley Master and his wife of Medicine King Valley has already spread.
Those who contracted the plague gradually recovered after receiving treatment according to the prescription.
The gloom that had been hanging over the city dissipated somewhat.
At this time, in a large courtyard inside Nanyang City.
When Da Tou saw a scholar in a blue robe approaching, with refined manners, he immediately showed a hint of disdain on his face.
He asked irritably, "Why are you here again?"
The scholar, however, paid no attention to his disdain. He cupped his hands in a respectful bow to the big-headed man and said in a gentle and refined voice, "Brother Zihe, Yu Si greets you."
When Da Tou saw him like this, he almost got a headache.
He rubbed his temples and said, "Brother, what brings you here this time?"
Yu Si smiled slightly and said sincerely, "Brother Zihe, I happen to have some free time today, so I've come to thank you and Miss Yun Jiao for saving my life."
If it weren't for your intervention that day, Yu Si would probably have already…
Before he could finish speaking, Big Head interrupted him impatiently: "It's a blessing you accumulated in your past life!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Si quickly nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with approval.
"Indeed, indeed! Brother Zihe truly understands Yu Si's feelings."
Big Head was speechless for a long time after hearing that.
In the end, all I could do was raise my hand and pat my forehead.
A sudden wave of powerlessness washed over me, and I felt both angry and helpless: "I...you...I...sigh!"
He was truly exhausted at this moment, and he was almost unable to cope with this scholar who spoke in such a literary style.
To explain how Daya, Datou, and this scholar Yang Yusi became acquainted...
It all started on their journey to Nanyang City.
Yang Yusi's great-grandfather's surname was Yang, so his grandfather's surname was naturally Yang.
So his grandfather's surname was Yang, and his father's surname was naturally Yang as well.
Since his father's surname is Yang, how could he not have the surname Yang?
So in the end, his surname was Yang.
Yang Yusi was from Fengming City. His ancestors had been merchants for generations and were quite wealthy.
Unexpectedly, when it came to his generation, this descendant of the Yang family didn't like abacuses and ledgers. Instead, he was obsessed with writing and literature and had no interest in the family's business.
The Yang family has been in business for generations, and now that such a book-loving descendant has emerged, the whole family is overjoyed.
Grandpa Yang spared no expense in hiring a famous tutor to teach him, and later sent him to an academy to study.
Unexpected events can come suddenly.
A few months ago, a dragon overturned in this area, causing the family's house to collapse.
Not only were Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang buried, but they were also tragically buried.
Many of the servants in the household died in the same way, on the spot.
The Yang family finally managed to handle all the funeral arrangements in the house and thought they could finally catch their breath.
Unexpectedly, a plague broke out in Fengming City, throwing the city into chaos.
His parents had no choice but to take him, along with some surviving servants and guards, and hurriedly flee Fengming City with some supplies.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a group of bandits blocking their way halfway through their escape.
Despite their valiant resistance, they were ultimately no match for the overwhelming numbers of the bandits.
His parents also lost their lives in this fight.
The servants and guards either died or fled, and in the blink of an eye, they scattered like birds and beasts.
Just as the bandit's broadsword was about to reach Yang Yusi, and she was about to lose her life.
Just then, Qin Lingxing happened to pass by with Da Ya and Da Tou.
Daya reacted quickly and saved him from the bandits' knife.
After Da Ya and the other two killed the bandits, Da Tou examined the dead on the ground.
Suddenly, they noticed that one of the maids still had a faint breath coming from the tip of her nose.
He immediately began to treat her.
After this ordeal, Yang Yusi only had this maid left by her side.
With both his parents dead and no future in sight, he had no idea where to go and could only stand there blankly.
Seeing his distraught appearance, Daya could not ignore him.
In these chaotic times, if left unchecked, he, along with the maid whose life was uncertain and the carriages behind him, would likely not get very far.
Even if he and that maid can leave, what if they encounter bad people again next time?
Without their help, they would most likely continue to be robbed, and might even suffer further misfortune.
Therefore, after discussing it with Qin Lingxing, Daya decided to take the scholar with her to Nanyang City.
Thanks to the meticulous care and treatment given by Daya and Datou over the past few days, the maid named Shilan has finally been saved.
After the group arrived in Nanyang City, Qin Lingxing arranged accommodations for Yang Yusi first, since Daya and Datou were busy treating people infected with the plague.
However, Yang Yusi has always been reluctant to bother others.
(At this time, he was unaware of Qin Lingxing's identity.)
He then bought a small "Tiger Descending the Mountain" residence in Nanyang City with his maid, Shilan.
The layout of this house is quite neat.
Entering the main gate, you will find the hall well; passing through the hall well, you will find the main hall.
The front bedrooms are located to the left and right of the main entrance, the kitchen is to the left of the hall well, and the bathroom is to the right.
The rear bedrooms are located to the left and right of the main hall.
