Chapter 113 Amazing drug effect, overnight transfer

“Mother, you’re awake?”

Young Master Wei was overjoyed upon hearing the voice and rushed in immediately.

When Lu Qing and Ma Gu entered, they saw him squatting before the awakened Madam Wei.

Concerned, he asked, “Mother, how are you feeling now?”

“Where am I?” Madam Wei asked weakly.

“We are now in a cave deep in the mountains. That day, Guard Pang and his men rushed out to attract the enemy, and Ma Gu led us deeper into the mountains…”

“…Later, Doctor Lu Qing gave you an acupuncture, and after you took the medicine, you woke up.”

Young Master Wei slowly recounted the events of the past few days.

Hearing this, Madam Wei realized that she had been unconscious for several days.

And so much had happened since then.

Her eyes fell on Lu Qing and Ma Gu.

“Thank you both for risking your lives to save me and my son. I am deeply grateful.”

She struggled to stand and bow.

Lu Qing and Ma Gu hurriedly stopped him, saying, “Madam, there’s no need to do this. Take care of yourself.” “

Yes, mother, you’re still injured. If you want to thank someone, I’ll do it for you.”

With that, Young Master Wei knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lu Qing and Ma Gu.

“Thank you both for saving my life. I kowtow to you on behalf of my mother.”

Young Master Wei’s sudden arrival caught even Lu Qing and the others off guard.

By the time they realized what was happening, Young Master Wei was already kowtow. They had no choice but to accept this profound gift.

Madam Wei was

utterly shocked. She had never expected her son to act like this.

In the past, he would have preferred death to kowtow to anyone.

What had happened during her coma?

“Young Master, why are you so lame? I’ve received favors from your Wei family before. I’ve come here only to repay a favor, and I don’t deserve such a generous gesture.”

As Young Master Wei rose from the ground, Lu Qing sighed.

“What’s your connection to my Wei family?” Madam Wei exclaimed in surprise.

“By the way, Mother, I forgot to tell you. This Doctor Lu is a disciple of Doctor Chen, the same Doctor who saved my disciple when he was injured. His name is Lu Qing, and he’s a very skilled doctor. He revived you in less than half a day!”

Young Master Wei explained.

“I’m not taking credit for it. Madam, your resuscitation is thanks to the powerful elixir prepared by my master. My medical skills are still quite limited,” Lu Qing said modestly.

“Yes, Mother, that elixir is truly powerful. You only took two drops, and you’re instantly back to health.”

Madam Wei looked at Lu Qing, finally realizing who he was.

When An’er was injured, he had been healed by a skilled old doctor.

Afterward, when the Wei Mansion was preparing a thank-you gift, the chief steward specifically reminded her that the old doctor had a very outstanding disciple and needed her to prepare an additional thank-you gift.

Later, she heard from the master that the young man had gone to great lengths to avenge his parents, wiping out a Black Wolf Gang outpost outside the city.

The Silver Moon Guards had recently been dispatched to warn the Black Wolf Gang, specifically to protect the young man.

So, Lu Qing did have some connection to the Wei Mansion.

However, she had never imagined that one day, she would be saved by this young man she had never met.

“So it’s Young Master Lu! I’ve heard the master speak of you, and now I see you’re truly a young talent with an extraordinary appearance,” Madam Wei praised.

“You’re too kind, Madam,” Lu Qing said, a cold sweat forming.

After a few pleasantries, Lu Qing turned the conversation to serious matters.

“Madam, there are many warriors searching for us in this forest right now. I’m afraid we can’t stay in this cave for much longer. We need to find a way to move.”

Lu Qing didn’t know that, following the deaths of Wang Qingshan and Tong Canglang, the Tiancang Sect disciples had already evacuated.

But this cave was empty. Madam Wei needed to recuperate, and they needed food and water, so it wasn’t a place to stay for long.

“But I’m injured now, and I’m afraid I’ll get you into trouble,” Madam Wei said hesitantly.

She knew her situation. The villain’s strike had been so fierce, deep enough to reveal the bone. She’d almost suffered a laceration in the abdomen, just like An’er had suffered.

With such severe injuries, it was a miracle she was still alive.

If they moved, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the turbulence.

“That’s not a problem. Madam, you’ve taken the elixir my master prepared. You should be able to move around after a while. We don’t need to leave right away. We need to wait until nightfall.”

The elixir Madam Wei had taken contained earth vein elixir, and even though it was diluted, it was still extremely effective for all kinds of injuries.

Lu Qing estimated that it wouldn’t be long before her wounds healed.

By then, they could move while it was still dark.

Mrs. Wei was hesitant to believe Lu Qing’s words at first, but when she tried to move, she discovered that the pain in her wounds was actually gone.

Furthermore, despite being unconscious for several days, she felt quite energetic and didn’t look like she was seriously injured at all.

This surprised Mrs. Wei greatly.

She remembered what An’er had said to her before.

Lu Qing had given her an extremely precious medicine.

I’ll have to find a chance to ask An’er what medicine Young Master Lu gave me that has such miraculous effects,

Madam Wei thought to herself.

“Mother, are you hungry? I have a pancake here, some dry food given by Young Doctor Lu Qing. I saved one for you.”

At this moment, Young Master Wei took out the pancake he had saved, as if presenting a treasure.

The aroma of the pancake wafted through her, and Madam Wei suddenly realized she was starving.

After all, she hadn’t eaten in days.

Seeing her son holding the pancake, his face eagerly gazing at her,

she felt a sense of admiration. An’er had truly changed.

Madam Wei took the pancake and gently bit into it.

“Mother, is it delicious? This pancake was made by Young Doctor Lu Qing himself. It tastes very special. Isn’t it different from anything we’ve had before?” Young Master Wei asked expectantly.

Madam Wei chewed a few times and raised an eyebrow.

Just as An’er had said, the pancake tasted truly special, very different from the ones made by the cooks back home.

She nodded: “It’s delicious.”

Young Master Wei was immediately happy.

Lu Qing, who was standing by, looked speechless.

He didn’t expect that an ordinary pancake could make two wealthy nobles sigh in admiration.

However, seeing the deep love between mother and son, he couldn’t help but be modest, lest it spoil the mood.

After eating, Mrs. Wei drank some water and continued to rest.

However, she felt more and more surprised in the following time.

Because she felt that her physical strength was constantly recovering.

Especially the wound, it was still itchy.

If there hadn’t been someone else present, she would have wanted to remove the white bandage from the wound to see what was going on.

Fortunately, Lu Qing noticed her discomfort in time and gave her a few acupuncture treatments with silver needles, which finally eased her discomfort.

But Lu Qing knew what was going on.

The two drops of medicine he had given Madam Wei were working, accelerating the healing of her wound.

Because the effect was so strong, the itching was unbearable.

As long as she could get through the healing period, she would be fine.

With Lu Qing’s acupuncture, Madam Wei felt much better, but the itching continued.

Fortunately, the itching subsided by the afternoon.

By dusk, the itching had subsided, and Madam Wei was able to stand and walk.

Seeing Madam Wei standing and walking, not only was Young Master Wei overjoyed, but even Ma Gu was stunned.

He knew how serious her injuries were.

How could she already be full of energy after only half a day?

Brother Lu Qing has not only made tremendous progress in martial arts, but his medical skills have also reached such an incredible level.

But why is his shoulder injury not healing so quickly?

Ma Gu touched his shoulder, feeling a little depressed.

“Thank you, Young Master Lu, for saving my life.”

After getting up, Madam Wei immediately bowed to Lu Qing.

By now, she knew that he must have consumed some rare treasure from heaven and earth.

Otherwise, how could he have recovered so quickly?

“You’re welcome, Madam. I wonder how you are feeling now?” Lu Qing asked.

Madam Wei stretched herself a little and replied, “The wound is almost painless now. I should be able to move with you.”

“Then there’s no time to waste. Let’s get ready to go,”

Lu Qing said immediately, looking at the sky outside and seeing that it was completely dark.

Although Madam Wei was no longer seriously injured, it was still very difficult for her to walk in the dark in this mountain forest.

Ma Gu was also injured, so after some discussion, the group decided that Lu Qing would carry Madam Wei, which would allow for a faster evacuation.

“Madam, I apologize for your inconvenience,”

Lu Qing said, approaching Madam Wei and half-crouching.

“Don’t be so offended. Zi’an is about your age. Just treat me as an elder.”

Madam Wei was quite gracious, unfazed by such trivialities.

With Madam Wei on his back and Ma Gu carrying the backpack, they left the cave and began their evacuation.

Because they were carrying someone, Xiao Li could no longer remain on Lu Qing’s shoulders, but Lu Qing had secretly instructed it to follow and keep watch, alerting him immediately if it detected anything. Thus,

the four of them, along with the beast, quietly made their way through the forest.

Lu Qing’s near-darkness vision, combined with Xiao Li’s assistance, enabled

them to advance at a considerable pace, quickly overcoming several hills.

However, Lu Qing was puzzled by the fact that, after all this time, Xiao Li hadn’t once warned him of anyone nearby.

If Xiao Li hadn’t jumped on his head from time to time to make his presence felt, he would have almost suspected that the little guy hadn’t followed him because he was too playful.

Could it be that when it got dark, those people temporarily withdrew from the forest?

This thought flashed through Lu Qing’s mind.

But regardless of whether it was the case or not, he didn’t intend to change his plan.

Just like that, under Lu Qing’s leadership, the few of them made a big circle in the mountains and finally got out of the mountains from an unknown remote corner.

After getting out of the forest without any danger, the next problem was how to settle Madam Wei and her son.

There was no way to go to the provincial capital. Since the Wei Mansion’s original plan had been exposed, the road to the provincial capital might have been filled with people from the Tiancang Sect, waiting for them to sneak into their pockets.

The best way was to find a place to hide. As long as they were careful not to leak the news, they would be safe.

So, where to hide was very important.

Jiuli Village was out of the question.

Not to mention that Lu Qing was reluctant to bring these two hot potatoes home, but the village was crowded with people and eyes, which meant it was destined not to be a good hiding place.

Lu Qing and Ma Gu discussed it and finally decided to hide the people in his house in Daji first.

Ma Gu’s house in Daji had a secret room in the bottom, and there was a secret passage in the secret room that led to the outside world, so they could move at any time.

As for the people in the house, they were all Ma Gu’s confidants and would hardly betray him, so hiding the people there temporarily was the most appropriate.

As long as the news was not leaked, no one would think that Madam Wei and her son would hide in such a small place.

After making the decision, Lu Qing and the others asked Madam Wei for her opinion. Seeing that she had no objection, they identified the direction and rushed to Daji.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, the four of them finally arrived at Daji in the second half of the night.

“Brother Lu Qing, Madam, you wait here for a while, I will go to make some preparations first.” Ma Gu said.

The fewer people who know about the affairs of Madam Wei and her son, the better.

So he had to go and evacuate the people in the house to prevent them from seeing something they shouldn’t see.

Lu Qing nodded, and after Ma Gu left, he stood in the shadow under a large tree with Madam Wei on his back.

Beside him, Young Master Wei was panting heavily.

“An’er, how are you? Are you tired?”

Madam Wei felt distressed when she heard her son’s panting.

“Mother, don’t worry, I’m not tired.”

Young Master Wei took a few deep breaths, calming his breathing and forcing a smile.

However, his actions only made Madam Wei feel even more distressed.

Lu Qing listened to the conversation between mother and son without saying a word.

Honestly, he was a little surprised.

They had covered quite a distance tonight, crossing mountains and traversing long distances.

It was remarkable that the young master had managed to persevere.

He lived up to his Qi and Blood Realm physique.

The three of them waited in the shadows of the trees for about a quarter of an hour before they saw a figure running quickly up ahead. It was Ma Gu.

“Brother Lu Qing, Madam, I’ve made all the arrangements. We can go in,”

Lu Qing replied, carrying Madam Wei on his back and heading towards the house.

Once inside, they found the house completely silent and deserted. It was clear that Ma Gu had temporarily dispersed everyone.

Led by Ma Gu, Lu Qing and the others entered a dark room through a tunnel leading from one room.

In the dark room, there was a bed and bedding, brand new, clearly arranged by Ma Gu.

“Madam, this place is shabby and inconvenient. I’ll have to excuse you and the young master for now.”
