The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 253: Encounter, Luck…

Lin Chujiu’s target was very obvious, she saw it as soon as she turned around… …

On the Zhuque Street, a pharmacy called a ‘century-old pharmacy’ was surrounded by a lot of people. Lin Chujiu couldn’t hear what those people were saying, but she was sure the patient was there.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chujiu walked towards the crowd. The guard wanted to stop Lin Chujiu, but Lin Chujiu glared at him. In fear, the guard only silently followed behind Lin Chujiu.

“These two children are very pitiful. Their father died, and their mother ran away with another man. Rain or shine, they don’t have a place to stay, so the younger child ended up like this.”

“Little Zhou, get up quickly, your brother’s illness is hopeless. Why don’t you save up money and buy him something delicious instead? Just let him die in peace.”

“Yes, that would be better, Little Zhou. Doctor Liu said he can’t cure your younger brother. Continue asking for help here is useless.”

Lin Chujiu squeezed to the front with the help of the guard. She then saw a ragged teenager, holding a fairly clean child in front of the century-old pharmacy. Who knows what exactly happened to the child, but the child’s face was red and swelling. It looks very scary, so no one dared to approach.

“Doctor, I beg you, please save my brother, I will work to pay you back. I’m begging you, please save my brother.” The teenager who was holding the child tightly, keep begging in front of the pharmacy. But, no one came out to help.

“Doctor, please, I beg you.” The teenager’s voice sounds so desperate. His eyes were sluggish, and he seemed at lost.

In the pharmacy, a middle-aged man came out and looked helpless the teenager. “Little Zhou, I really don’t have the ability to cure your brother. Your brother’s illness was dragged too long and became very serious. He is also malnourished, I’m afraid, even ginseng can save his life.”

For a doctor in a pharmacy, such scene was ordinary. Because the family has no money, the patient cannot be saved. The doctor sympathized with them, but they cannot sympathized with everyone.

When Little Zhou heard Doctor Liu’s words, his eyes lit up: “Doctor Liu, can you give my brother a ginseng first? I will pay you back later.”

Doctor Liu didn’t speak, but the pharmacy drug seller mockingly said: “Pay us back later? What nonsense are you talking about? You can’t even afford to buy a piece of bread.”

“I…” Little Zhou bites his lips. His lips started bleeding, but he didn’t seem to feel in pain. He continued biting his lips, trying to suppress his tears.

Little Zhou, who was holding the child slowly got up. But because his body was also weak, he stumbled and fell. Lin Chujiu hurriedly helped the teenager: “Be careful!” Because she was worried about the child’s illness.

“Doctor Liu…” Little Zhou called out and looked up. He thought the doctor in the pharmacy helped him, but he saw a young lady. His hope that ignited became a disappointment. He shrank his body and said: “Thank you, young miss. But, you’ll get dirty.”

Lin Chujiu didn’t pay attention to the teenagers’ words. She pointed her finger at the child and said: “I can save your brother.”

“What?” Little Zhou’s eyes widen and stared at Lin Chujiu. He couldn’t believe her words: “Young miss, what did you just say?”

“I said, I can save your brother, can you let me see him?” In fact, even without the medical system’s reminder, she would like to save the child.

“Can you really save my brother? You’re not lying to me?” The teenager’s body trembled. His tears that he had been trying to suppressed finally fell the next moment.

“I’m not lying, I am a doctor, I can really save your brother. Let me see him.” Lin Chujiu took the child from the teenager’s arms.

The teenager didn’t refuse this time. He released his brother and let Lin Chujiu take the child.

“Master.” When the guard saw that Lin Chujiu held the child, he couldn’t help but stopped her.

If their Wangye learns this, he will kill him.

“Let go!” Lin Chujiu’s face sank and there was no trace of politeness in her tone.

“Master, but your identity… …” After he said those words, he swallowed the rest when he saw Lin Chujiu’s cold eyes.

When their Wangfei was outside, she was like a different person. She was not the usual silent person just like in the Xiao Wangfu.

“Your responsibility is to protect me, not to interfere in my business.” Aside from Xiao Tianyao, who has the right to interfere in her business?

“Yes.” The guard bowed his head and stepped back half a step.

Little Zhou and the onlookers were scared by this scene. They looked at Lin Chujiu one by one. Their eyes were full of respect and fear. They couldn’t help but also stepped back.

The young girl’s identity seemed something they couldn’t afford to offend, right?

“My carriage is there, let’s go over there.” Lin Chujiu held and looked at the child. The child only looked like 3 or 4 years old. But, the child looked horrible. Lin Chujiu didn’t asked the guard’s help, she directly walked towards the carriage.

“Oh, ok…” Little Zhou who was shocked for a while, also followed.

The onlookers wanted to watch the exciting event, but they were afraid of the guard behind Lin Chujiu. So in the end, no one dared to follow. They just scattered one by one.

“Gongzi, let’s go back.” When the crowd has scattered, a small servant spoke to his young master, who was dressed in a white robe.

The young master has a jade crown on his head. He has a noble and elegant temperament, which could make people hard to turn a blind eye to his existence. But the most eye-catching traits of him were his eyes that looked bright like a star.

Such a person walking in the crowd will naturally become the focus. Which was true, because of his eye-catching appearance, the people on the road involuntarily stopped walking and only stared at him.

A shy girl who passed by wanted to look but didn’t dare to do so. Even the vendors on the side didn’t dare to look, for fear of angering the young nobleman.

This young master, was Meng Xiuyan. The grandson of the dead Dean Meng of Wenchang College. He passed by the Zhuque Street and saw the teenager, who was begging for mercy in the front of the pharmacy. He wanted to see if he could help, but he didn’t expect someone will step a bit faster than him.

Meng Xiuyuan looked at Lin Chujiu, who was holding the child and walking towards the carriage. His face was showing a bright smile. He looked at the small servant next to him, but he didn’t show an impatient or boredom look. He only slightly nodded his head and turned around. He then entered the tea house to the side.

The eyes of the crowd followed all the way until Meng Xiuyuan walked inside the tea house. And when his figured could no longer be seen, the crowd reluctantly recovered their eyes.

This was Meng Family’s young master, Meng Xiuyuan. He doesn’t need to talk. Because as long as he passed by the crowd, he can catch everyone’s attention.

Lin Chujiu took the child inside the carriage, while the guard and Little Zhou were anxiously waiting outside. Lin Chujiu took out a medicine box from the medical system.

Little Zhou looked like an impoverished person, but the sick child’s body and clothes were clean. Obviously, the child was being taken care of.

The child was poisoned, which cause him to have a high fever and severe dehydration. Fortunately, it was not a powerful poison. The child should be bitten by a cockroach or a poisonous spider. It’s just the treatment was delayed for a long time, so his condition became serious.

However, for someone like Lin Chujiu, this was naturally a piece of cake!

*Gongzi – young master from a noble family.
