Chapter 799: Chapter 802: The Rules of Medicine King Valley
Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao were completely unaware of the impending confrontation between Dongfeng Restaurant and Yuelai Restaurant.
The day before Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian returned from their visit, they had already set out on their journey to Medicine King Valley.
The cart, pulled by a dairy cow, moved very slowly, but wherever it went, it became a beautiful scene.
Because carts with cabins are usually pulled by horses, it was quite rare to see one pulled by a cow.
Country carts, whether pulled by oxen or horses, typically do not have cabins because they need to go into the fields to work, to pull farm tools and crops, and are not the cabin type.
Only the Yang Family, because of Xiaoxiao’s role as head of the household, had specially made a cabin cart for transporting people, which also made it more convenient for them to travel.
The road to Beijing required passing through Lin County, so they planned to visit the Joy Grand Theater there before setting off.
Considering the trip might take an indeterminate amount of time, Xiaoxiao even prepared a basket for the baby, to avoid having to carry him all the way.
Actually, Little Liufu was easy to take care of. He was just a month-old baby, and his cries were basically due to needing a diaper change, being hungry, or both. As long as his bottom was clean, and he was well fed and hydrated, he would lie there with his eyes open, playing. He couldn’t roll over yet, so it seemed quite easy to handle him without worrying about him falling off anywhere.
If he still fussed, it was because he was sleepy, and after a bit of fussing, he would sleep for about two hours.
At that moment, Little Liufu had just been lulled to sleep by Xiaoxiao and placed in the basket. Xiaoxiao opened the small window and started talking to Yang Ming, who was driving the cart, up front.
"Husband."
Hearing his wife call for him, Yang Ming quickly responded, "Wife, what’s the matter? Does the baby need to breastfeed?"
"No, the baby has just fallen asleep; he doesn’t need milk right now. We can express milk when he wakes up. I was wondering, since Divine Doctor Xue is said to be so amazing, are the other doctors in Medicine King Valley also that impressive?"
"Yes, they should be, which is why we are heading to Medicine King Valley first. Even if Divine Doctor Xue isn’t there, we can still confirm whether the baby has truly been poisoned. After all, the doctors in Medicine King Valley are much better than those in our remote countryside."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that Yang Ming also had his doubts about whether the child was poisoned; yet, he chose to go to Medicine King Valley for fear of delaying the baby’s treatment. But then, Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "Husband, if it turns out that the baby is indeed poisoned, won’t the people in Medicine King Valley find out? Are you going to hypnotize them all?"
Yang Ming’s mouth twitched. His wife was making his hypnotism out to be a remarkable skill, but he wasn’t that powerful. He wasn’t a god—having learned it didn’t mean he was an expert, he just knew some basic techniques.
Hypnotizing the doctor in town had been a desperate act, as they couldn’t risk exposure, and luckily, it was successful.
"No need, I’ve heard that Medicine King Valley has a rule that patient information must not be disclosed. If someone leaks it, they will be expelled from Medicine King Valley and forbidden to practice medicine from then on. So, wife, rest assured."
With Yang Ming saying so, Xiaoxiao relaxed. It seemed that there were rules even in the world of Chinese medicine which was reassuring. "Alright, husband, then let’s hurry to Medicine King Valley."
"Alright."
But moments later, Xiaoxiao became speechless because the ox cart was excruciatingly slow. She had just said they should hurry, and this pace was even slower than her walking speed. At this rate, it would take them an eternity to reach Medicine King Valley. Time waits for no one, and she felt as if she’d made a mistake.
