Chapter 97: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 97: Misunderstanding
Even if it wasn't to avoid trouble with the Zhang family every day, the Chen family still didn't want to see a young child pass away before their eyes. They all felt the need to save the chubby child.
"Can he hold on until we reach the county?" Xie Yunshang asked anxiously. "I can carry him to the county to find a doctor who can help..."
"I'm afraid not..." Doctor Yang shook his head. The chubby child's injuries were even more severe than Xu Tian's. How could he possibly hold on until they reached the county seat? It was likely that before the incense stick burned out, the chubby child would...
"Ah!"
Chen Xue sighed. In the end, she still had to spend some contribution points to exchange for a pill.
"Let's try this!"
Everyone was stunned, looking at the small bottle Chen Xue handed over. Although they didn't know what it was, since Chen Xue took it out, it must be able to save people.
Subconsciously, Doctor Yang took it and opened the bottle to smell it. Although he knew that the medicine Miss Chen gave couldn't possibly be poisonous, it was still his duty as a doctor.
He needed to confirm because sometimes even medicinal herbs could harm people.
From the smell alone, he could identify a few ingredients, but he couldn't detect the rest. However, it was indeed a medicine that could save lives.
He didn't pour out the pill but planned to crush it with a stick. After all, the chubby child was unconscious and couldn't swallow the pill.
"No need, this medicine melts in the mouth!" Chen Xue reminded quickly.
This was the first time Doctor Yang had heard of such a pill. He peeled open the chubby child's mouth, tilted his head back, and fed him the pill.
Sure enough, before he could close the chubby child's mouth, Doctor Yang saw the pill instantly dissolve in his mouth.
He was amazed.
Even more surprising was that afterward, the wound on the chubby child's chest stopped bleeding, and the convulsions ceased.
He grabbed the chubby child's hand to check his pulse. Sure enough, although the chubby child's pulse was still weak, it was stable, meaning there was no longer any danger to his life.
"Incredible!"
Doctor Yang clapped his hands in astonishment. What kind of miraculous medicine was this? Its effect was so significant. He had been shocked when Chen Xue took out the legendary Golden Wound Medicine earlier, but he hadn't expected to be even more amazed now.
He felt fortunate once again for choosing to join the Chen family. Not only was he not bullied on the journey of exile, but he could also eat well, dress warmly, and witness all sorts of miraculous methods, even legendary elixirs.
Even if he died, it would be worth it!
If he could decode and study these elixirs, improving his medical skills, it would be even better.
Of course, it was just a thought. Such precious pills were treasures passed down through generations in ordinary families, and they wouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary.
Miss Chen, however, casually took them out and gave them to the enemy's child.
Although he was a doctor and saving lives was his duty, he was now a member of the Chen family and had to consider the family's interests. So, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Originally, this could have been the Chen family's life-saving elixir, but now, it had been given to the chubby child. What if the master and the others were in danger?
Unfortunately, he didn't know that with enough contribution points, Chen Xue could exchange for a bunch of these pills.
"Is he alright now?"
Xie Yunshang, standing beside him, was somewhat surprised. Didn't they say earlier that there was no hope, but with just one pill, the person was fine now? Was this an immortal pill?
If he had such a pill, he could save several lives on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, he could tell that this pill was even more precious than the Golden Wound Medicine. It was probably a treasure hidden in the Chen family's bottom drawer.
"Impressive, just like Master Chen's daughter!" Xie Yunshang sighed. Chen Yuan had been like this in the past, saving him without hesitation when he fell into the water. Now, Chen Xue was also taking out precious medicine without hesitation to save people.
Unfortunately, good people like Chen Yuan were actually being wrongly accused and reduced to this.
Luckily, he had made a contribution this time.
He had come back to help Master Chen, and by eliminating the bandits attacking the exile convoy, Chen Yuan had made great contributions. This time, he must report it to the emperor and try to clear Chen Yuan's name.
Even if he couldn't clear his name, he could make Chen Yuan's life a little better.
He thought about this as Zhang Yiquan woke up. He suddenly pushed everyone away and picked up the chubby child.
"Get away from me, all of you, don't think about harming my son!"
Holding the chubby child, he glared at everyone, like an angry lion.
"Are you still human? How could you lay hands on such a young child!"
Zhang Yiquan looked at his son covered in blood, barely breathing, feeling both heartache and anger.
"Chen Yuan, I know you hate me, hate me for dragging you down, you can scold me, you can hit me, but why did you lay hands on my son? Are you still human!"
" You misunderstood!" Xie Yunshang hurriedly explained for Chen Yuan, "Your son was injured by bandits, and it was Chen Yuan who took out life-saving medicine to save your son's life!"
"Who are you!" Zhang Yiquan saw Xie Yunshang wearing armor and knew he was a general. Although he was a little scared, he was more angry when he thought about his son almost dying and his wife's life hanging by a thread.
"I don't care who you are. If anything happens to my son, Zhang Yiquan, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!"
Saying that, he turned to look at the chubby child and shouted, "Wei'er, Wei'er, wake up quickly, don't scare dad."
"As long as you wake up, forget about fish fins. Even if you want bird's nest, dad will get it for you. Wei'er, wake up!"
"Dad..."
After a long time, the chubby child suddenly uttered a word. Although he was still unconscious, it seemed like he was murmuring to himself, but it still relieved Zhang Yiquan.
"Your son is not in danger of life, he just needs rest!" Doctor Yang saw his actions and couldn't help but remind him.
"Stop pretending!" Zhang Yiquan glared at them, "Chen Yuan, we have a feud now. I won't let it go so easily!"
Chen Yuan sighed. He knew this would happen, but there was no point in explaining now. It wouldn't make any difference at this point.
Besides, they were already enemies, and there was no need to seek his forgiveness.
Seeing that the chubby child was fine, Chen Yuan turned and left with his family.
"Chen Yuan!"
Seeing himself being ignored, Zhang Yiquan suddenly yelled at Chen Yuan, obviously very angry.
"You wait for me. Zhang Yiquan swears that I won't let you off!"
"Master Chen, shall I explain it to him?" Xie Yunshang frowned, feeling that Zhang Yiquan was too radical.
"No need." Chen Yuan shook his head. "Explaining these things to him at this time will only stimulate him more. Anyway, the child is fine."
Xie Yunshang didn't say much more and instead looked at the other prisoners. "Gentlemen, it's getting dark. The county is just ahead. We can rest when we arrive."
"As for what happened this time, I will truthfully report it to the court. I believe the court will understand. So, gentlemen, don't worry about being pursued for delay or anything like that."
Obviously, he also knew that the exile convoy had specific distances to cover each day and specific times to reach the southern barbarian region.
