Chapter 469 - Faking Death Pill (2)

Bai Zhi said with full of confidence: “Of course, it’s just delivering medicine. What’s so difficult about that? Besides, it’s only less than a hundred miles away from here. In addition to that, now that the war is in a tight position, and the army marches back and forth, the bandits along the way have long disappeared, what else is there to be afraid of?”

Doctor Lu was not worried about those kinds of stuff. He looked at her from head to toe and said: “You look like a boy, but you are a girl in the end. The barracks are full of men. I’m afraid that it’s not appropriate for you to go there.”

Bai Zhi waved her hand: “What’s wrong with that? I don’t care about what you said. I just want to do what I should do. I don’t care about other things. Besides, as long as Hu Feng doesn’t care, it’s enough.”

Doctor Lu already reminded her. However, she seemed to be determined. He knew that it was useless to say another word, so he just shut his mouth.

Bai Zhi then said to Doctor Lu: “Please help me pass another word to Awu Dage. Tell him to stay in Huangtou Village and don’t go anywhere else.”

Doctor Lu was puzzled: “That’s all?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Just tell him that, he will understand.”

“The carriage has been loaded, you can go now.” The servant, who was loading the carriage shouted at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi made an ‘um’ sound in response, then turned around and get on to the carriage. She then nodded her head to Doctor Lu.

Zhou Awu taught her to drive, and she also drove twice. It was not that difficult, or more likely, it was much easier than she thought.

Watching the carriage disappeared, Doctor Lu hurriedly bid farewell to the Shopkeeper and drove the oxcart back to Huangtuo Village.

After returning to the village, he went directly to Bai Zhi’s house. The gate was closed, it looked the same as when they left. It seems the people haven’t returned yet.

Doctor Lu had no choice but to go back home first and divide the silvers they earned. 1000 cans of ointment, one can cost 1 silver coin, so he received a total of 1000 silver coins. He gave 100 silvers to the shopkeeper from his own pocket. And then deducted from the sales, 80 silvers for the herbs and 10 silver for the cans. A total of 910 silver was left.

Doctor Lu arranged the remaining silver ticket immediately. Then, he divided it into two. He put the 455 silvers into his sleeve and then went to Bai Zhi’s house again.

At this time, the gate was open, Doctor Lu saw Zhou Awu unloading things in the carriage. Zhao Lan and Zhao Sue were talking in the yard. And so, he hurried to enter the yard.

Seeing him coming, Zhou Awu smiled and said: “Lu Dafu you came? Where is Zhi’er? Why she hasn’t come back?”

Doctor Lu smiled at Zhou Awu and then went to Zhao Lan first: “Zhao Lan, did Bai Zhi told you that she was planning to go to the barracks to deliver medicine?”

Zhao Lan was stunned: “What are you talking about? Go to the barracks to send medicine? What medicine? Who did she go with?”

Doctor Lu sighed: “It seems you really don’t know. She’s gone now. She went there alone. She said she’s going to find Hu Feng, she wanted to see if he’s okay. By the way, those ointments were ordered by the army to me. Both I and the Shopkeeper of Baicaotang advised her not to go. It’s just, she refused to listen, she still went in there.”

Zhao Lan was so scared that her legs soften. What was the military camp? It was filled with men who kept fighting, people said the sword has no eyes… …

Zhou Awu rushed to Doctor Lu and asked: “What is going on? Why didn’t she tell us before leaving?”

Doctor Lu replied: “Maybe she knew that you will all disagree, so she didn’t tell you in the first place. She just let me tell to stay in the village and not go anywhere else.”

Zhou Awu was anxious. But he knew what Bai Zhi meant to say. She didn’t want him to chase after her. After all, he was a deserter in the army. If someone recognized him, he may implicate Prince Jin and General Fu’s plans.
