Chapter 410: Divine Doctor Chu
After Chu Luo and Li Yan returned, Li Yan gave some instructions to the bodyguards and went to the living room to work.
With nothing to do, Chu Luo listened to foreign languages on her phone.
Not long after, Li Yan said to Chu Luo, “The Duanmu family is here.”
Chu Luo turned off her earpiece and asked, “Who’s here?”
“Third Master Duanmu and Duanmu Tian.”
“Where are the people from the Duanmu family staying?”
“In a town called Urala on the edge of the desert.”
“Are the Sun family here?”
“They’ll reach this afternoon.”
Not long after, the bodyguard suddenly came in and told the two of them, “Master, Miss Chu, a group of people from the west of the village has come to see Miss Chu.”
Li Yan didn’t even look up. “She won’t meet them.”
The bodyguard left.
After a while, Chu Luo heard the commotion outside getting louder and louder. She stood up and walked out alone.
It turned out that everyone from the west side of the village had come.
A group of bodyguards stood outside. Every bodyguard had a strong aura. Those people could only stand a little far away and didn’t dare to approach, but they weren’t willing to leave.
When those people saw Chu Luo come out, they immediately became excited.
“She’s out!”
“She’s out!”
Chu Luo asked a bodyguard, “What are these people doing?”
The bodyguard shook his head. “These people said that they wanted to see you as soon as they arrived. We couldn’t chase them away no matter what.”
Chu Luo looked at those people and walked over.
Those people stopped shouting when she walked over.
Chu Luo stood a distance away from them and asked, “What are you doing?”
An old man who looked like he should be very prestigious in the village stood up and bowed to Chu Luo. The others quickly followed suit.
The old man said, “Divine Doctor, thank you for saving our fellow villagers from the surrounding villages. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have known that the large fog every year was actually caused by that crazy woman Meng.”
Chu Luo didn’t say anything when she heard this.
The old man had a pained expression. “It’s a pity that crazy woman Meng has been a shaman here for decades. In these decades, she let us absorb so much poisonous fog. Us old people don’t mind. Divine doctor, you must save the young people and children in our village.”
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Luo.
The others also had expectant and pleading expressions.
Chu Luo looked at them and thought for a while before saying, “I can help you cure the poison in your bodies, but I have a condition.”
“Divine doctor, if we can do it, we’d be willing even if it means going bankrupt.”
“I don’t accept money.”
Chu Luo’s words made many people heave a sigh of relief. After all, it was a remote village, and many families weren’t rich.
Chu Luo glanced at them and continued, “But since I’m giving so many of you the antidote, it’s impossible for me to not take anything.”
Sometimes, people’s hearts were like that. The more you didn’t ask for anything in return, the more others would think that it was only right and proper. Perhaps in the future, they might even bite you instead. Therefore, Chu Luo had conditions for curing or treating people.
“Divine doctor, please speak.”
Chu Luo said seriously, “What you’re poisoned with isn’t ordinary poison, but a baleful aura. That’s why each of you must do ten good deeds in your lives.”
At this point, her hand shook and a red light flashed. “Everyone, you can look at the black mark on your wrist. Every time you complete a good deed, the black mark will disappear a little. When you finish the tenth good deed, of course…
“If you think the black mark on your hand hasn’t disappeared after doing something good, that proves that you’re not sincere.”
Some people were originally hoping to do it the easy way. ‘It’s so easy to do good deeds. I’ll just send some of my things to XX and help someone carry a load of water.’
When those people heard Chu Luo say that, they immediately dismissed the idea.
Only then did Chu Luo take out a medicine bottle and say to one of the bodyguards, “Split it up. One pill per person.”
After the bodyguards distributed the medicine, one of them suddenly said, “Divine doctor, besides us, many people in the other villages have looked for the crazy woman Meng. Can you also give them this medicine?”
“How many people are there? Go and tabulate them. Come over before noon and tell me. There won’t be any after this.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The nearby villages were all intermarried. They either had a relative in this village or that village. Once Chu Luo finished speaking, everyone dispersed and spread the news.
Chu Luo turned around and walked into the courtyard.
The bodyguard behind her asked in confusion, “Miss Chu, aren’t you worried that those people will deliberately falsify the number?”
“It concerns their lives. Do you think they can think so much at a time like this?”
Rural people had many thoughts, but their nature was still simple.
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment. He felt that it made sense and didn’t say anything else.
Chu Luo took out two more bottles of medicine for the bodyguard.
“After they’re done, distribute the medicine.”
“Okay, Miss Chu.”
When Chu Luo walked into the living room, Li Yan was issuing orders via his communicator.
When he saw Chu Luo enter, he said to her, “We’ll leave after lunch.”
Chu Luo nodded and sat beside him. She took out her phone and quickly browsed the Internet for a while.
Unexpectedly, the news of the Sun family sending troops to look for her was spreading like wildfire online.
Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “The Sun family definitely won’t publicize this matter themselves. Could it be that the Duanmu family or the Qin family did it on purpose?”
“It’s the Qin family,” Li Yan said. “The Qin family wants to divert the Duanmu family’s attention to the Sun family.”
Chu Luo sneered. “I don’t believe that the Duanmu family didn’t guess this.”
However, even if they had guessed it, the three families would definitely restrain each other when they came.
“By doing this, those people who came from abroad won’t dare to brazenly have designs on that tomb. That’s not bad.”
“Mm.”
The morning passed quickly.
Before Chu Luo and the others ate lunch, the people in the neighboring village had already calculated the total number of people. Those who came were the village heads of every village. They wanted to see Chu Luo, but they were stopped by the bodyguards.
In the morning, Li Yan sent people to the edge of the desert in batches. After dinner, when Lu Feng arrived, the two of them left with everyone.
In the car going to the edge of the desert, Lu Feng, who was sitting in the same car as Chu Luo and Li Yan, told them how many sandstorms would appear in XX Desert in a year and when the sandstorm would be the most serious.
“Other than the sandstorm that appears in the desert, there’s also the situation that we will encounter after entering that Karst landscape. That Karst landscape is a rectangular maze. Even I can’t guarantee that I will bring you out quickly.”
Chu Luo asked, “Other than this terrain, what else will we encounter in the middle?”
“We’ll also encounter quicksand.” When Lu Feng said this, his expression became especially serious. “If we encounter ordinary quicksand, I still have experience hiding from it. If we encounter large-scale quicksand, we can only leave it to fate.”
At this point, he added, “But don’t worry. This kind of situation is very rare. Besides, this isn’t the season for large-scale quicksand activity.”
Chu Luo nodded and asked some other questions about the desert.
The car drove for more than three hours before arriving at the town at the edge of the desert.
This place was at least ten kilometers away from the desert. Even so, there was barely anyone around.
Lu Feng still had a house here. He brought Chu Luo and the others to his house.
On one side was the town, and on the other was the Gobi desert. There were actually quite a lot of people in the town. Lu Feng told them, “Every year, a lot of people come for the desert scenery in the Gobi desert. Our town can be considered a very famous attraction.”
Chu Luo found it a little strange. “Living here should earn you money. Why did you move away?”
“Although there are many people in this town, there aren’t many who can enter the desert to be a guide. We all moved away because we were tired of living like this.
At this point, he sighed. “Sigh… I didn’t expect someone to find our current place. Zhang Ziqiang even agreed to lead the way.”
“Don’t worry. As long as he’s not dead, we’ll definitely be able to find him.”
“Mm.”
The weather by the Gobi Desert was no different from that in the desert. Here, women basically wore veils and masks and men also wore masks.
Lu Feng went to prepare the things to enter the desert.
Chu Luo and Li Yan were staying in his house.
At two in the afternoon, Li Yan told Chu Luo, “The Sun family is here too.”
There were only two small towns near the desert. Coincidentally, the Qin family and the Duanmu family avoided the people brought by the Sun family and stayed in the small town where Chu Luo and Li Yan stayed. The Sun family stayed in another small town.
“These people should enter the desert soon.”
Li Yan was right. Lu Feng, who had gone to town to buy things, returned quickly.
He said to the two of them, “There seem to be a few more batches of people in town today. These people are looking for a guide. I was worried that they would find their way here. I came back before I could buy anything.”
“What do you need? I’ll get someone to buy it.”
Lu Feng told them what they needed.
Li Yan immediately got someone to buy it.
Li Yan asked Lu Feng to go out and find out who those people finding a guide to enter the desert were.
At around four in the afternoon, Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “There’s a bonfire party at the Gobi desert tonight. Do you want to participate?”
Chu Luo nodded with anticipation. “It will snow in the Gobi desert tonight. I wonder if the Gobi desert is beautiful.”
Li Yan got someone to make preparations.
