Chapter 515 Defense
"I didn't expect to encounter thieves who blocked my way and robbed me. I had some medicine and a few pieces of silver on me, and now they've all been taken away." The young man looked embarrassed.

If this girl kicked him back into the water again, he would not be able to get back alive.

"According to our route, we will dock in Jiazhou in four days, and you can leave on your own then." Yu Linlang said calmly, "There are no more rooms in the cabin, so you will have to squeeze in with the boatmen for a few days."

"This is a privately chartered boat. We don't provide food or clothing. You have to figure it out yourself."

The young man said hurriedly, "I can treat you, brothers, but I only ask for a bite to eat to fill your stomach."

Several boatmen looked at each other, seemingly distrustful of each other.

The young man hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my massage technique is also very good. If you have any problems with muscle and bone pain, you can come to me for treatment."

Sailors who sail all year round suffer from some muscle and bone pains.

After hearing what he said, some people were willing to give him a chance to try.

Yu Linlang ignored it and was about to leave, but the young man caught up with her a few steps, rubbed his hands and smiled shyly, "Girl, young lady, you are docking in Jiazhou, are you going to Jiangnan?"

Yu Linlang turned her head to look at him and raised her eyebrows, "What do you want to say."

"No, no. I, I'm from Jiangnan."

Yu Linlang said calmly, "It's impossible for our ship to turn back just for you and take you back to the place where you fell into the water. We have our own schedule, and saving you is just a matter of convenience."

"I know." The young man nodded in agreement. "Miss, you misunderstood. How could I make such an impolite request? I just wanted to inform you that there has been some unrest in Jiangnan in recent days. You should be careful when you go there."

"What do you mean, little brother?" Zhan Shaohuang stepped forward and spoke.

The young man sighed, "Brother, you don't know, half a month ago, there was a huge explosion on Taihu Island, and no one could tell what happened. Three days later, the dam broke, and the lake water flooded many houses and the land was also severely flooded."

"Some farmers who had made plans early on have moved their families north. You guys should be careful and cautious when you go south now."

"It's been very chaotic there lately, with robbers on the road and starving people on the way. Sigh."

Several people looked at each other.

After letting the boatman take the young man away, the group returned to the dining room and cabin on the first floor and sat down around the long table.

"Do you think what that kid said is credible?" Yu Linlang asked.

Mu Feng shook his head vigorously. "How is that possible? He said that half a month ago there was a huge explosion and a dam burst, and there were starving people everywhere. Then why didn't the court receive this news? There was no movement in the capital at all?"

"That's possible." Mu Zhao said calmly after a moment's silence, "There are so many unknown things in the capital. If local officials try their best to suppress the matter, it is very likely that they will not report it. But the timing may not be right..."

Yu Linlang nodded, "I think so too. It probably happened ten days ago."

More than ten days is unlikely. She would receive a piece of intelligence from all directions every ten days. If the explosion happened more than ten days ago, she should have received the news long ago.

Calculating the time, even if there was a big explosion on Taihu Island, it would definitely not exceed ten days.

"Jiangnan has always been prosperous. As for the rumors that there are starving people everywhere... I don't think this is very reliable." Zhan Shaohuang said with a frown.

"Sister-in-law, do you think there is something wrong with that boy?" Mu Feng asked when he didn't understand.

Jiu Jin curled his lips, "There must be something wrong. How can there be no problem for someone who doesn't even dare to reveal his real name?"

"Yes." Mu Feng nodded. "Flame, Flame, it's obviously a fake name. Who has this name?"

The mute girl knocked on the door and pushed it open, holding a tray and making tea for each of them.

Ba Liang stood up, took the things in her hand, and pushed her to sit down, "Aunt, don't worry, I'll do it."

The mute girl touched her head, stood up, and gestured twice.

Yu Linlang smiled and said, "It's okay, just eat something at night, hot pot is simpler."

Ya Gu nodded repeatedly, gestured and walked out again. Yu Linlang was helpless, "She said she was going to prepare, but she really couldn't spare any time."

"I'll keep watch at night." Zhan Shaohuang volunteered.

Mu Feng scratched his head, "This... He is just a sickly scholar. Should we be so vigilant?"

"It's okay, I'll catch up on some sleep during the day." Zhan Shaohuang's stiff face was full of seriousness, "It's better to be careful."

Mu Zhao nodded and glanced at his stupid brother, "Learn more."

Look at that young man, he is tall and mighty and looks reliable, unlike my stupid brother... But recently my stupid brother seems to have grown a lot stronger, so it is good for him to train in the military camp.

Mu Feng quickly straightened his attitude, "Well, I'll guard it tomorrow!"

"He is a doctor." Yu Linlang slowly took out a package from her bag and opened it.

There are small packages of medicine powder and liquid inside.

She asked Jiujin to distribute it to everyone present.

"Better safe than sorry. The powder is poisonous. Once sprinkled, you will get dizzy."

"The liquid medicine is an antidote. Drinking a small sip will protect you from being poisoned for three days."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they happily took it. Mu Feng nodded happily at Jiu Jin, "Thank you, thank you."

Jiujin gave him a look of amusement and anger.

Yu Linlang thought for a moment and said, "His drifting story makes sense for now, but I feel like he... must have had acupuncture and held his breath before entering the water."

And this method is a bit like...

Mu Feng was shocked and lowered his voice to ask, "So this person really came close with a purpose?"

"What's the matter?" Chang Qing's voice, neither loud nor soft, came from outside the cabin door, and Yu Linlang and others immediately fell silent.

"No, sorry, I went the wrong way." The young boy was so flustered that he almost cried, "Brother Chao said the toilet is at the stern."

Chang Qing looked at him strangely, "This is the inner cabin, it's blocked. Go to the railing and go straight to the back."

"Okay, okay, thank you."

After a while, the voice died down. Chang Qing opened the hatch and poked his head in. "My Lord, Miss, that man is really suspicious."

How big a distance can a boat take? It's too far-fetched to say it took the wrong path.

No one believed that the boatman Hua Chao could give him the wrong directions?
Everyone knows it.

After the meeting, Mu Zhao accompanied Yu Linlang back to the teahouse on the second floor. He looked out of the wooden lattice window and saw the child sitting under a parasol, concentrating on writing and drawing, so he did not disturb him.

"Lang'er, can you tell who the young man learned his medicine from?"

Yu Linlang smiled, "Looking at his acupuncture and breath-holding techniques, he really looks like someone from Wonderful Medical Valley."

"Miao Yi Valley?" Mu Zhao had heard of it.

He has been ill for so many years, and his family has spent a lot of effort looking for doctors and medicine for him.

"It's okay. A kid with ulterior motives can't create any huge waves no matter how hard he tries." Yu Linlang pulled her into the house.

"I'll give you acupuncture once every three days. After three times, the toxins in your body will be completely cured."

"it is good."
