Chapter 143.2: Strange Within Strange (2/2)
Xiao Dao glanced back to check those signs that only people from the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce would understand. Only then did he relax. Following Yu Fenger’s lead, they returned to the bandits’ stronghold: Green Summit Stronghold.
After settling Tang Doudou down, Yu Fenger called for the stronghold’s doctor. “Old Man Yu, hurry and come over here, come take a look at this gongzi’s condition! Is he about to die?”
He had just finished speaking when a sloppy-looking old man wobbled in. If Tang Doudou had been awake, she definitely would have recognized this old man. He was the doctor that Cang Baicao had disguised himself as the last time Baili Yu got injured!
He walked in while talking noisily. When he saw that the person lying on the bed was Tang Doudou, his facial color underwent a huge change and he immediately turned around to run.
Xiao Dao who witnessed this was completely confused. Could it be that this doctor knew Tang Doudou?
How could Yu Fenger possibly allow Old Man Yu to run? He shot a look over and Jin Laobiao who was standing by the door immediately picked Old Man Yu up by his front lapel and threw him in front of the bed. “Running? Do you believe me when I say I’ll break your legs!?”
Facing this violent Jin Longbiao, the unarmed and defenseless Old Man Yu’s expression turned serious as he said coldly, “Jin Longbiao, if you keep acting so fierce towards me, I won’t help you treat your injuries next time!”
“Quit wasting time and check his condition!” Jin Longbiao didn’t pay any attention to Old Man Yu’s threat at all and simply cracked his knuckles loudly.
‘When a scholar encounters a soldier, even if there’s logic it can’t be conveyed clearly.’ Old Man Yu shook his head with a crying look on his face, then turned around to check Tang Doudou’s pulse.
Xiao Dao who was standing next to the bed watched Old Man Yu nervously. When he saw that Old Man Yu’s brows furrow, he blurted out, “Doctor, how is she?”
Old Man Yu shook his head without speaking.
Xiao Dao felt as though his heart had plunged into ice. He fell backwards weakly. It’s over…
He waited for Old Man Yu to pronounce his final sentence. Old Man Yu finally put down Tang Doudou’s wrist and said to Xiao Dao with a calm expression, “She’s fine. She’ll recover after sleeping a few days!”
“She’s fine? How could she be fine?” Xiao Dao’s face was filled with disbelief. He pulled Old Man Yu who was leaving to a stop. “Are you sure you didn’t examine her wrong?”
“Youngster, you sure are weird. It’s enough that you’re doubting my medical expertise, but how could you be so blackhearted as to hope for someone to not be fine?” said Old Man Yu, peeved.
Xiao Dao released him in embarrassment. “That’s not what I meant. It’s just that back then, she vomited a lot of blood…”
“If you don’t believe me, check for yourself ah. Her pulse is calm and strong, how does she seem anywhere close to death? Humph!” Old Man Yu flung his sleeve back and gave a cold humph. “Ignorant!”
After he finished speaking, he lifted his chin arrogantly and walked out.
Xiao Dao thought about it a little, before lowering his head and picked up Tang Doudou’s wrist. After a moment, shock appeared on his face. The pulse was as Old Man Yu said: it was normal to the point it couldn’t be any more normal.
