After the Han woman was placed on the bamboo bed in the suspended building*, Lu Heng waved his hand, and the Miao men retreated. This Han woman was worthy of being the one who had enchanted the original owner before. Even though she was sleeping on the bamboo bed with pale face and ashen lips, anyone could tell she was a beauty.
T/N: A portion of a building that is protruding out of the main structure- supported by pillars or bamboo. The suspended portion can also be above a water body. Google 吊脚楼
Lu Heng went ahead and noticed that although the woman’s dress was a complete mess, there were no visible wounds. He took the pulse of the other person and then pricked her fingertip to let out a drop of blood.
Lu Heng examined the smell of the blood and knew that the woman was poisoned by the ghost face spider. There were countless precious herbs in the jungle of Miao. There would always be Han people who would arbitrarily move around in the border area. They would hope to find one or two valuable herbs without disturbing Miao people. However, these reckless people often fell victim to the venoms of various types of poisonous insects before they could find the herbs.
This woman was lucky enough to meet their Niu who went out to hunt. Miao people always carried insect repellents and antidotes on their person. Although the antidote wasn’t potent enough to remove the toxicity of ghost faced spiders, they could still preserve one’s life.
Lu Heng must save the woman’s life in front of him. Of course, it’s not because of how beautiful the woman was, since Lu Heng’s appearance was better than that of the other person.
Wait, what the heck am I thinking? Female attire is so dangerous for a man. Lu Heng quickly pulled back his thoughts.
From the previous several missions, Lu Heng had learnt quite a few things. The reason why the client died so heavily* was more or less related to a child of fate. And the key to victory for each task will generally appear around the child of fate.
T/N: Same heavy as series title. Grandly and meaningfully.
Lu Heng took out a small porcelain bottle from the tie dye small cloth bag in his waist, opened the cork, and then put the Gu on the woman’s fingertips. After getting rid of the venom, Lu Heng put another pill into her mouth.
A moment later, the eyelashes of the Han woman on the bamboo bed, fluttered gently twice like a butterly flapping its wings, before finally opening her misty eyes.
“I, where am I?” The woman tried to sit up, but she was unable to do so and lied back.
“Phoenix village in Miao territory.” Lu Heng didn’t help either. After all, men and women should not be unnecessarily close to each other. “Just now, the venom of ghost face spider had almost entered your heart. Now, although the venom has been removed, you still need to rest for a few days before you can completely recover.”
“This girl is named Fang Qingwan, sister, did you save me?” Fang Qingwan saw that she was really unable to get up, so she smiled apologetically.
“No, it’s our Niu who saved you and brought you back to the village.”
“……” Fang Qingwan couldn’t adapt to Miao people’s straightforward way of speaking. “Did you detoxify me?”
Lu Heng nodded, “I simply woke you up because I had something to ask you. What are you doing in Miao territory? ”
Fang Qingwan saw that the Miao woman in front of her was totally different from the women she saw in the Central Plains. She was extremely beautiful, but her momentum was fiercer than most men. When these words fell out of her mouth, Fang Qingwan was unable to resist: “I am here to find a certain medicine. I’m a disciple of Taichu sect. Because my senior martial brother suffered internal injury due to a mistake in practising martial arts a few days ago, he has not been able to recover. After that, he had been examined by a miracle doctor. However, the medicine to save him can only be found in the Miao territory. ”
Fang Qingwan raised her eyes and furtively glanced at Lu Heng. Seeing no change in Lu Heng’s expression, she mustered the courage to continue saying, “I am worried about the injury of my senior martial brother, so I broke into the Miao territory without permission. Please forgive me.”
The Taichu sect? Lu Heng had a bad premonition: “what’s your senior martial brother’s name?”
Fang Qingwan thought for a moment, and thought that since senior martial brother was famous all over the world, there was no need to hide- “Duan Feiqing.”
Immediately after she finished speaking, Fang Qingwan felt that she shouldn’t have said it, because the other person frowned as soon as she heard the name, and she was even more frightened by the atmosphere that surrounded her.
Lu Heng couldn’t bother to care about Fang Qingwan’s thoughts. Duan feiqing? A stallion* Brother? Lu Heng’s mood was very complicated. Although he knew that Duan Feiqing was a free-spirited person, him being that kind of stallion was impossible. Just thinking of those seven beauties such as flower beauty and so on, caused his heart to give birth to a kind of subtle uncomfortable feeling.
T/N: Stallion as in a man with multiple simultaneous partners. In original plot, the woman’s master (?) was a man who ended up with 7 beauties.
Lu Heng thought about it, but then smiled gently: “Duan Feiqing and I are old friends. We were supposed to travel to the Central Plains. When you have recovered, I shall go with you to have a look.”
Fang Qingwan was not sure whether to believe the Miao woman. That’s because she thought that the woman’s fierce appearance didn’t seem like wanting to meet an old acquaintance, but rather like a feud. Is this some spurned lover abandoned by her senior martial brother in Miao territory? Such a ridiculous idea came to her mind.
On Qingyang mountain, Taichu sect.
“Senior martial brother, I have news from younger martial sister.” A young man dressed in a blue and white disciple’s uniform strode forward enthusiastically. It’s just that after Wen Jianfeng saw the person in front of him, he subconsciously lowered his voice and put a stopper in his bubbling excitement. He always felt that while facing this elder martial brother, any trace of impulsiveness would be an insult to this person’s demeanor.
“Well?” Duan Feiqing turned around and nodded a little, “Our junior martial sister seems to be safe.”
“I just received a letter from flying pigeon saying that junior martial sister has entered the border of Qingyang County and should be able to return to the sect in two days. But the messenger said that the junior martial sister was not alone. There was a Miao woman accompanying her. It seems that junior martial sister was calling her ‘Gouma’*…”
T/N: In case anyone forgot, Gouma was LH’s original body’s name
This disciple named Sang Jing* unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, saw a scene that almost made him drop his jaw. The eldest senior martial brother of their school, Duan Feiqing, who was always gentle and polite, whose actions didn’t have the tiniest flaw, suddenly stumbled over the grass on the ground.
