Chapter 63 (2/2)

“There is a medicine box in my carriage. I will go fetch it myself. Uncle Chen, go fetch a bowl of clean water. Aunty will be taken care of by my servant.” Feng Yu Heng did not allow Huang Quan to follow and returned to the carriage alone.

As soon as she entered the carriage, she lowered the curtain. She opened the small medicine box while searching her pharmacy for a long time before finding some medications that could treat heart disease. After picking and choosing for a while, she tore off the packaging and placed the medicine in small porcelain bottles that she had prepared.

When she returned to the small room, old man Chen had brought back some clean water. She fed the elderly woman the medicine and handed the bottle to old man Chen, advising him on when to take the medicine and what to look out for. Only then, did she relax and depart.

Old man Chen did not know how he could thank her properly. He thought he could only kowtow to give thanks for her grace.

Feng Yu Heng pondered for a while before telling him: “If your daughter did not marry well, if you go chase her now, you can still bring her back.” As she said this, she pulled out a bank note worth fifty taels of silver, “No matter how you say it, uncle is a benefactor of Hundred Herb Hall. If it were not for uncle, then I don’t think I would have found the culprit so quickly. This is a thank you gift to uncle. Go call Jiao’er back. If she wants, tell her to come find me at Hundred Herb Hall in three days.”

Having finished what she came to say and do, Feng Yu Heng did not linger. Together with Huang Quan, she returned to the carriage. The driver shouted and the carriage left the village.

Huang Quan seemed to have some understanding of why Feng Yu Heng invited the Chen family’s daughter to Hundred Herb Hall. Unable to help herself, she asked: “Does the young miss wish to find some more people?”

Feng Yu Heng did not hide it from her and seriously nodded: “That’s right. When I left the capital, I was still young and did not understand anything. This large capital, in my eyes, is a completely unfamiliar place. If I don’t have some people that I trust at my side, who knows when I will be sold out by someone.”

Huang Quan agreed with her words, “That’s right. Feng family has managed to change three shops in to that sort of place. If there were our own people in those shops, how could we be bullied by the Feng family like that.”

Feng Yu Heng did not speak any further. Raising her own strength was one component. She still had an idea for Hundred Herb Hall that she had been continuously pondering these past few days.

Because of her previous life’s career, her hand would itch whenever she saw a patient. If Hundred Herb Hall could expand in to something similar to a hospital, and she then focused on developing some professionals in this area, would this not be considered an benefit for this era?

Feng Yu Heng had been worried about the injuries on Xuan Tian Ming’s body. The conclusion of a short analysis: The medical situation does not allow it. She had the ability, but no convenient instruments to support. If Da Shun dynasty could slowly improve medical conditions, wouldn’t more and more people join along.

Of course, these were all afterthoughts. She knew that before everything stabilized, everything was an idle thought.

Slightly closing her eyes, she leaned against the carriage and rested. Huang Quan copied her appearance and also leaned to the side.

But before they could rest for long, Feng Yu Heng’s sensitive ears picked up a vibration.

Hearing some sort of sound, something came through the air with a whistling sound. It flew towards them with a heavy murderous intent.

She and Huang Quan opened their eyes at the same time and reacted at the same time. Feng Yu Heng leaned back, heading straight for the window. Huang Quan took out a sword from her waist area and cut across the curtain and called out a warning to the driver: “Be careful!”

Just as Feng Yu Heng went out the window, the blade of Huang Quan’s sword was struck by a sharp sword. The force was extremely large, such that even the area between her thumb and forefinger felt number.

But thankfully, she had dodged this attack. If she had not noticed it early on, this sword had been aimed directly at Feng Yu Heng’s heart.

Huang Quan sucked in a breath of cold air. Without saying a word, she also jumped out the carriage’s window.

The two people were not far apart and immediately met up after landing. Feng Yu Heng asked Huang Quan with worry: “You are ok, right?”

Huang Quan’s heart warmed and quickly said: “I’m fine. Young miss, have you been injured?”

“I haven’t.”

Clearly understanding the other’s circumstances, the two did not speak any further. Back to back, they stood on guard. One held a sword and the other held needles between her fingers, which she had pulled out at some unknown point in time.

Very quickly, countless people dressed all in black with black masks appeared from all directions, completely surrounding the two girls.

These people garbed in black did not waste any words. Holding long sabers, they came up and slashed away. This made Feng Yu Heng frown, damn it, were a few exchanges of words not the proper start to this sequence of events? She would have to ask who the other side was, then they would reply “There’s nothing worth saying to a dead person.” That’s the correct way to do it! 1

A twelve year old girl successfully held silver needles between her fingers. On one hand, she was depressed that her first time being robbed in an ancient era did not go according to script, and on the other, she considered whether they could actually break through.

Huang Quan’s martial skill was exceedingly high, her skill with a sword had reached the pinnacle of perfection. Although she was clear about her family’s young miss was not an expert, she still remained protecting her side, causing her to worry that she might get even slightly injured.

Feng Yu Heng actually really wanted for Huang Quan to run away first. So long as Huang Quan was not around, she could vanish in to thin air at any time and any place. No matter how many enemies there were, they would have no way to pull her out. But now was no good. She could not be too brazen. She still did not want to be seen as a monster by others.

Sadly, this small body was truly disappointing. After just a few rounds, her calf began to cramp up. Feng Yu Heng felt that if they continued to fight, even if they were not killed by this hoard of enemies, she would die of exhaustion. Moreover, her strengths were close quarters combat and fire arms combat. In this flash of swords, she couldn’t even get close to the enemy, let alone the combat part.
