Chapter 378: Unconscious
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Madam Bai, this is also because Master Bai is a good man and heaven helps him. If not for the fact that Master Bai was in the city at that time, we would have missed him.”
MO Ruyue didn’t leave the others behind just because he wanted to save Master Bai.
The task of entering the city to save people fell on Gu Ying’s shoulders.
Although his medical skills were not as good as hers, it was not a problem for him to get a doctor’s position in Huichun Hall.
“If only my Yuan ‘Er could be as lucky as him.”
When Madam Bai mentioned Bai Shiyuan, her eyes could not help but redden.
She and Bai Jinshang had been in love for many years, but they only had one son and one daughter. Naturally, they loved them like treasures.
Bai Shiyuan was the future head of the Bai family, and the couple had high hopes for him. If he were to be gone just like that, not only would the couple
not be able to handle it, the entire Bai family would be in danger of collapsing, and their future would be bleak.
“Madam Bai, you should take care of the person in front of you first. Master Bai still needs your care. The Bai family still needs you to support it.”
MO Ruyue was really not good at comforting people. Besides, at this time, any words of comfort were pale and powerless. It was more practical to do something.
Madam Bai silently shed tears. She couldn’t accept the fact that she might never see her son again. However, she also admitted that MO Ruyue’s words sounded a little cold, but they were not crude.
MO Ruyue sat opposite to her for a while before suddenly standing up, giving Madam Bai a fright.
“Madam Bai, how many guards are there in the residence? Do you have ten people that could go out with me and save the people?”
“There are. Previously, Yuan ‘Er took away more than a dozen people. There are still about thirty guards left in the carriage, waiting for Lady Qin’s orders at any time.”
Although the Bai family had been keeping a low profile, they still needed a sufficient number of guards to ensure their safety when they were forced to migrate due to natural disasters.
Therefore, Bai Jinshang pretended to hire a few bodyguards from the bodyguard agency to be his guards. In fact, they were all private assets of the Bai family, and the bodyguards were all private guards of the Bai family.
“Ten people will be enough. Also, bring stretchers and three carriages. The faster, the better!”
Before MO Ruyue’s voice fell, she was already outside the tent.
‘Quickly go, follow Lady Qin’s instructions!”
Although Madam Bai didn’t know what had happened, she instinctively listened to MO Ruyue’s arrangements and unhesitatingly sent out half of her guards.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, seven or eight horses surrounded three carriages, following behind a black horse, and galloped away from the Bai family’s campsite.
“Aowu!”
The howls of wolves could be faintly heard from the distance, which attracted more responses.
A guard whipped his horse and moved closer to MO Ruyue.
“Lady Qin, there are wolves in the distance. It sounds like the scale of the wolf pack is not small and they are blocking our way.”
Food was already scarce in the mountains during winter. Now, with the addition of natural disasters, it would lead to the appearance of hungry wolves. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they had to be on guard.
“It’s okay, just follow me.”
MO Ruyue said and continued to rush forward.
The guard could only follow after her. Although he knew that she was stronger than the group of them, he did not dare to be slow.
After running for another thirty miles, the traces of natural disasters became even more obvious. They even passed by the ruins of a village that had been completely destroyed by a heavenly fireball.
Everyone looked at the huge pit that appeared out of thin air and the scorched earth. They didn’t dare to imagine what was inside.
“WUwUwU… Aowu!”
The wolfs howl sounded very close. Strangely, it was as if it was guiding the way. MO Ruyue also adjusted her direction every time the wolf’s howl sounded.
Just as the guards were in shock, they suddenly saw a few people and even a few horses lying on the ground at the foot of a slope not far away.
“That is… That’s the young master!”
There were some guards who were specially trained as scouts and had extraordinary eyesight. They immediately saw the familiar clothes of the person lying on the ground.
After he carefully identified it, he immediately shouted.
MO Ruyue was already increasing her speed. The distance of nearly a hundred meters was covered in an instant.
She did not wait for the big black horse to stop. She flipped and jumped off the horse. The tip of her foot touched the ground lightly and she flew over the flat ground.
By the time she knelt down beside the white-robed young master, the other guards had also arrived.
Taking a closer look, the unconscious person was indeed Bai Shiyuan. However, out of the dozen or so people that she had originally taken away, only six or seven were left, and all of them were unconscious.
“Stretcher, quick, get everyone onto the carriage.”
MO Ruyue immediately took out a small porcelain bottle and dripped a drop of the liquid into Bai Shiyuan’s mouth before letting the guards carry him into the carriage.
The others were treated equally, and after a while, everyone was carried into the carriage.
“Okay, I need two people to stay in the other two cars and keep an eye on the unconscious people. If someone vomits while unconscious, make sure to control him face down in time. Don’t let him choke on the vomit.”
After MO Ruyue’s instructions, the guards quickly finished their work. They immediately got on the carriage and galloped back in the direction of the campsite.
This time, MO Ruyue didn’t follow immediately. Instead, she used the excuse of checking the surrounding environment to find out the reason and stayed for the time being.
She didn’t leave any guards behind to help, only saying that she would catch up in a while.
After making sure that the carriage had left, she walked around the surroundings, waiting for the wolves to come and meet her. Then, she stored them in the space at the first moment.
Now that there were refugees everywhere, the people who lacked food would inevitably be tempted by the wolves. No matter how smart and cunning they were, how could they escape from the starving humans?
Just as MO Ruyue was about to leave, she suddenly noticed that not far from where Bai Shiyuan and the others were lying, some strange fungi had broken out of the ground and had gathered into a small patch. It was obvious that they had been picked.
Could this be the reason why they were unconscious?
MO Ruyue dug out all the fungi and placed them in a jade box. Then she mounted her horse and chased after the carriage that had left.
No matter what the fungus was for, she would find out through various experiments.
The big black horse was extremely fast. Even though it was a long time late, it caught up with the carriages before they returned to the camp.
“Madam, Lady Qin has saved the young master!”
A guard came back to report in advance. At that time, Madam Bai was feeding Master Bai medicine. When she heard this, the spoon in her hand tilted and fell to the ground. It was the maidservant at the side who caught it quickly, so that the medicine bowl did not break.
“Mother, I’ll stay here and take care of Father. Quickly go and see brother!”
Bai Shijiao was also waiting on him. Although she was also surprised and happy, she did not forget that her father was still lying on the hospital bed.
Madam Bai immediately came back to her senses and turned to Master Bai, who was still unconscious. “Master, our son is back. I’ll go take a look. I’ll be back soon.”
Master Bai seemed to have heard this. A tear suddenly fell from the corner of his eye, and his eyeballs rolled under his eyelids, as if he was trying to wake up.
“Don’t worry, with Lady Qin here, Yuan ‘Er will definitely be fine!”
Madam Bai consoled her with tears in her eyes and nodded at Bai Shijiao.
Then, she lifted her skirt and jogged out of the tent.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she bumped into a few guards carrying a stretcher and a simple wooden bed running toward her. The person lying on the stretcher was Bai Shiyuan!
“Yuan ‘Er!”
Madam Bai saw her beloved son’s face covered in blood and unconscious appearance. She cried out in pain and her body swayed. The maid behind her caught her in time..
