Chapter 68 Luo Qiushui

  After everything was settled, they set out on the road again. It was no longer just Zhao Yi and Yuan Chengzhi, but a large group of people traveling together.

  Two people can hurry along, swift as a galloping horse, like a gust of wind walking. But when a large group of people set out together, the chariots and horses crowd each other, and they cannot go fast.

  In the merchant team, there were horse-drawn carriages and cargo carts, stretching for over a dozen zhang. Even if they wanted to hurry, it was impossible, which also slowed down Zhao Ji and Yuan Chengzhi's pace.

  "Zhao, come over here for a second, I have something to tell you."

  Riding ahead, proceeding slowly, Zhao Ji was secretly worried when he heard Luo Qiushui's voice from behind.

  Turning around, he saw Luo Qiushui opening the window of the carriage and smiling at him, waving repeatedly, making Zhao Ji feel a bit strange.

  "Lo girl, what's up? You called me?"

  Zhao Ji did not rush up immediately and instead observed for a moment before asking indifferently.

  "Zhao, come here, I have something to tell you."

  Lu Autumn Water spoke in a gentle voice, with a very enthusiastic tone.

  Luo Qiushui's repeated invitations, the people in the merchant group all saw it with their own eyes, and their expressions couldn't help but reveal a few unusual hints. The way they looked at Zhao Ji was also somewhat strange.

  "Zhao Ji, you'd better leave now, if we keep on like this, it won't be good."

  Just as Zhao was hesitating, Yuan Chengzhi rode up close and whispered in his ear.

  Yuan Chengzhi nodded slightly towards Zhao Ji, who also didn't say much. He pulled the reins of his horse and came to one side of Luo Qiushui's carriage.

  "Brother Zhao, is little sister really so unwelcome?"

  Luo Qiushui deliberately put on a stern face and questioned Zhao Ji who was approaching.

  With a pretentious glance to the left and right, Zhao Ji made a puzzled expression, smiling blandly: "Who, who dares not to treat Luo Niang well? Tell me, I'll help you criticize him."

  "Pfft."

  Zhao Ji's mischievous appearance made Luo Qiushui laugh, and she said with a mixture of annoyance and delight: "Who else could it be? It's obviously you who doesn't want to see me."

  She gave Zhao Ji a charming glance, and at that moment, Luo Qiushui's appearance was extremely enchanting, any normal man who saw her would probably be infatuated.

  Zhao had always thought of himself as having a firm mind, but at this moment, he couldn't help but silently recite in his heart that form is emptiness and emptiness is form, only then could he suppress the wisp of melancholy thoughts that arose within him.

  "Nowhere, nowhere, Miss Luo misunderstood me, I really didn't mean to be rude to you."

  In his heart, all sorts of thoughts were sprouting, but Zhao Ji was very self-controlled, and there wasn't a hint of abnormality on his face. He smiled and said.

  "You still don't admit it, I wanted to ask you to come over and talk, but you repeatedly declined, even refusing to change the way you address me, saying it's not that you don't want to see me."

  Jian Zhaoji swore to be a copper pea, steaming not cooked, boiling not rotten. Luo Qiushui took out the woman's killer mace and said with a humble tone, her big eyes misty as if she was about to drop golden beans at any time.

  Zhao Ji smiled wryly and said, "I'm not unwilling to talk to you, but I have things on my mind and can't muster up the enthusiasm. If I've offended you in any way, please don't take it to heart, Miss Luo."

  "Really, Brother Zhao doesn't dislike Little Sister?"

  Hurriedly putting away the posture of being on the verge of tears, Luo Qiushui's beautiful eyes swept back and forth across Zhao Ji's face, unable to detect anything unusual, and said with half-doubt.

  "It's really not."

  At this time, Zhao Ji definitely couldn't admit it and could only stubbornly insist "it wasn't".

  Her eyes sparkled with a hint of cunning, and Luo Qiushui changed the subject: "Brother Zhao, you said you have something on your mind. I don't know what it is, but would you be willing to tell me about it? If it's not convenient, then never mind."

  "There's nothing inconvenient about it, Luo girl wants to know, I'll just say it."

  Zhao Ji said with a pause.

  Curing diseases and saving people is not a secret, there's nothing to keep confidential. Moreover, as the leader of the merchant group, Luo Qiushui has traveled extensively, seen and known much, perhaps some useful information can be obtained from her. So Zhao Ji briefly told Ling Shuanghua about his serious illness and said he was going to Sifang City to purchase medicine.

  "So it was like that."

  After listening to Zhao Ji's narrative, Luo Qiushui's beautiful eyes became even brighter and more radiant, emitting an extraordinary aura. She stared intently at Zhao Ji's face and said softly: "Brother Zhao is truly a great hero, a real man of honor, born with a chivalrous heart, willing to risk his life for the sake of brotherhood, rushing thousands of miles, I admire you, sister."

  Luo Qiushui's excessive praise, which almost elevated himself to the heavens, and his strange gaze that stared at Zhao Ji, made him shudder all over, feeling somewhat uneasy.

  "Miss Luo, you're exaggerating. I'm not that great. Besides, from Zengjia Village to Sifang City, it's only over a hundred miles, definitely not thousands of miles of rushing about. Miss, please don't talk nonsense."

  Zhao Ji's face was serious and solemn as he spoke.

  As for what kind of person he is himself, Zhao Ji is very clear that the heroic and righteous type, who would sacrifice his life for his brothers and insert a knife into his own ribs, has nothing to do with him.

  He may not be a bad person, but he can't be considered a purely good person either. He is willing to help Ding Tian because he likes him and feels sorry for him, also because helping him doesn't require paying too high a price.

  "Uh-huh, I remember."

  Seeing Zhao Ji's serious expression, Luo Qiushui nodded obediently and did not refute him. As for what she thought in her heart, it was unknown.

  "Right, Brother Zhao, didn't you just say that the prescription was still missing a few herbs? Coincidentally, my Luo family also has a herbal medicine business, perhaps we can lend a helping hand."

  It was as if Luo Qiushui suddenly remembered something and said happily to Zhao Jihuan.

  "Oh, does Luo's family have a medical clinic in Sifang City?"

  Zhao was overjoyed and asked in pursuit.

  Lu Qiushui shook her head, with a hint of pride in her tone: "That's not the case, but the Lu family has a pharmacy in Four Sides City, and it's quite large. You can usually find ordinary medicinal materials inside."

  Zhao's eyes lit up and he said with great delight: "That's wonderful! Once we enter the city, I'll have to trouble Miss Luo for her help again."

  It's said that buying medicine doesn't necessarily have to trouble Luo Qiushi, but the prescription written by Hu Qingniu has many unusual and rare medicinal materials on it, whether they can be found in a pharmacy is hard to say.

  Moreover, some relatively rare medicinal materials will not be displayed on the counter and sold openly. Without any status or connections, those treasured medicinal materials are generally unbuyable.

  For example, old ginseng, lingzhi and he shou wu are considered treasures by the pharmacy and will not be sold to ordinary people. Even if you offer money, they won't sell it to you, or they'll rip you off.

  Although Zhao Ji wasn't entirely clear about the winding paths inside, he knew a thing or two, so he spoke first to prepare for any eventuality, and if really needed, he could ask Luo Qiushui for help, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
