Chapter 1928: Chapter 1930: Good Fortune with Women and Ferocious Beasts
At this moment, Cai Xiao, who had always maintained an impeccable appearance, gradually revealed a genuine warm smile.
Waking up the next morning, Cai Xiao found that there was no trace of you by her side. After searching around and still not seeing you, Cai Xiao suddenly felt a bit empty inside. However, she quickly laughed again, laughing in a way that puzzled the maid who came in to serve her.
The joyous occasion of Wang Can, the great talent, marrying the governor’s daughter had already spread throughout Jingzhou City, so when Wang Can’s wedding procession appeared in people’s view, the onlookers crowded around was a sea of people. After all, as long as people like a lively event, it’s like whether in ancient times or modern, people love attending gatherings.
"Hey, this Wang the Genius doesn’t look all that, does he?"
"But he is someone even the late Master Cai Yong greatly admired. I heard Master Cai wanted to give his daughter, Cai the Scholar, to Wang the Genius back then."
"Oh, what happened afterward?"
"How would I know? But seeing that Cai the Scholar is still single, you know the two didn’t match well in character. However, Wang the Genius and Cai the Scholar often discuss literature with us scholars in Jingzhou at teahouses."
"I hear the governor’s daughter is a beauty too. This Wang the Genius really has his share of luck with women!"
"Speaking of luck with women, you can’t not mention the Beast of Xuzhou, Li Muyun. He has seven wives and concubines like heavenly immortals. Truly enviable!"
"Such nonsense, do you need to say it? Get out of here!"
You are not in the wedding procession, after all, you cannot be so ostentatious now. But you naturally heard these people’s discussions. When mentioning those seven, er no, actually you should have more than seven women. Nonetheless, you certainly feel quite proud. However, encountering such a difficult woman like Cai Xiao made you feel some headache, but you aren’t afraid of trouble, as the saying goes, "deal with soldiers with generals, water with earth."
"Hmm?" Suddenly, at a corner of the street, you seem to see something.
It was a burly man with salt-and-pepper hair, exuding an aura that invigorated you just by seeing it. You are all too familiar with this aura, it belongs only to the strong, usually, those who possess such aura are either extraordinarily skilled in martial arts or valiant generals in the military.
Judging by appearances, the man’s clothing is simple, and his hair somewhat disheveled, so he’s not a military general, even if he were, he couldn’t be highly regarded. What concerns you more is that the man is holding a youth of about 16 or 17 years old, whose face is exceedingly pale, and who coughs violently, sometimes coughing up blood.
Even though your medical knowledge is not profound, you have good eyesight, so you quickly stepped forward as the middle-aged man already took the youth into a clinic.
The moment they entered the clinic, you noticed two young servants drove them out with an impatient look on their faces.
"Gentlemen, please let me see Doctor Xu."
"I say, old man, how can you be so stubborn? Our Doctor Xu has already said it’s not that he can’t cure your son’s illness, but he doesn’t want to. The doctor has made it clear, if you don’t have fifty gold, be prepared for your son’s funeral."
"This..." The man suddenly froze, his tall frame seemed to shrink and hunch in your eyes. Holding the coughing youth, the man’s once resolute and wide-opened face showed a sadness and pain you had never seen before. The man leaned against an alleyway, resting his head on the wall, looking up at the sky with tear-filled eyes.
"Dad... I’m okay, cough! I’m already content, Dad."
Tears already filled the youth’s eyes, the distressing scene of father and son stood in stark contrast to the lively street outside.
"Xu’er, it’s your father’s incompetence!"
"Cough! Cough, cough, cough!" After a bout of violent coughing, the youth’s face looked even worse, "Dad, let’s go home. I want to be buried with Mom."
"Xu’er..."
At this emotionally uncontrollable moment, a stranger suddenly stood beside them. The man raised his head to find the scorching sun completely blocked by an unknown figure.
"Who are you?" The man restrained his emotions and replied calmly.
The newcomer was indeed you, but instead of speaking much, you squatted down and tried to grasp the youth’s hand.
How could the man let you succeed? He immediately acted to stop you, only to see your hand flash and the man’s hand quickly snapped away, while you placed your hand on the youth’s pulse.
"Don’t be agitated, I just want to understand your son’s condition." Upon hearing this, the man’s brewing qi immediately dissipated, looking nervously at this handsome and assertive man.
After checking the youth’s pulse and examining his body, you asked the man, "How long has he been sick?"
"My son has been sickly since childhood..."
"Nonsense! I can tell that much. I mean, how many years has he been coughing violently like this?"
The man was taken aback by your words, then hurriedly said, "Three years."
"Three years." You murmured, "It’s okay, he won’t die. Fortunately, there’s a stream of true Qi protecting his body, so his meridians aren’t destroyed."
"Brother, are you a doctor?" Like grabbing at a life-saving straw, the man looked at you with a mix of tension and excitement.
Unexpectedly, you shook your head with a smile and said, "I’m actually just a dabbler, but, I do have a way to save him and completely cure his illness."
"Benefactor, I shall kowtow to you!" The man struggled to get up and kowtow, only to be pressed lightly by you, sitting down in astonishment, unable to move. At this moment, the man was even more shocked, as he had never met anyone who could easily suppress him in more than thirty years since leaving apprenticeship, especially someone seemingly no older than twenty!
"There’s no need to kowtow, but I need you to agree to one thing for me."
"Benefactor, please tell me, I shall do it even if it means my death!"
You smiled but didn’t say the matter directly, instead, you said to the man, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Muyun."
Upon hearing your name, the man suddenly understood, "So it’s General Fenyong!"
"I believe that in this world, the only one who can save your son is my mentor. He is currently in Xuzhou City. You can bring your son to Xuzhou City to find him. And the condition is very simple, you must join the military in Xuzhou."
