Kapitel 8: Saving A Life (1)
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
"Father, wait for me," Ning Yue said to Ning Guang.
Ning Guang nodded and stood guard with his knife.
Ning Yue half-knelt on the ground and took out her first aid kid. Then, she gave the two people on the ground emergency treatment. Fortunately, the two of them had not suffered from heat stroke to the point of no return. However, their bodies were seriously dehydrated and they had been hungry for a long time.
Then she looked at the five-year-old boy. Although he was dressed in rags, there was still flesh on his face and his cries were louder. The couple must have saved whatever they could eat and drink for the child.
Poor parents. Ning Yue now had two babies herself and could understand the painstaking efforts of parents. She was very touched and pitied the two of them. After the treatment, she took another bag and placed it beside them.
The man woke up first and knew that Ning Yue had saved him. He pulled the child to his knees and kowtowed to thank her. "Thank you, Bodhisattva. Thank you, Bodhisattva. You saved our family. You will definitely be rewarded. If our family of three can survive this calamity, we will definitely repay you in the future!"
"I have children of my own. I just don't want him to survive in this chaotic world alone at such a young age. Sigh." Ning Yue sighed. "I gave you guys some food. Take the food and think of a way to escape."
With that, she left with Ning Guang without saying anything else.
After she left, the woman woke up. The couple opened the bag and looked at each other. Tears rolled down their faces as they knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction where Ning Yue had gone. "Thank you! Thank you!"
There were more than ten steamed buns, some white flour, and salt in the bag. Most importantly, Ning Yue had left a lot of water for the family of three. They were all filled in bamboo bottles.
If they ate sparingly, they could endure it for a while, greatly increasing their chances of survival.
The couple quickly put their things away, afraid that someone would see them, then pulled the child in the other direction.
Ning Yue and Ning Guang walked for a long time before they finally saw a withered forest. However, they could at least rest for a while. She could take it. The children were also extremely hot and had to drink water and milk.
After entering the forest, Ning Yue found a more secluded place and put the child down. At the same time, she took two steamed buns and a bamboo bottle of water for Ning Guang to eat and drink quickly.
Ning Guang did not know where Ning Yue got the food. He thought that it was all from the bad guys who kidnapped them, so he ate it all in one go.
"Father, I want to feed Xiaobao and Xiaobei. Watch over them and don't let any strangers approach." Ning Yue made it clear that she was talking about the strangers.
If he encountered the Ning family, he could not chase them away.
"Alright, I'll guard Yueyue!" Ning Guang nodded vigorously and walked to the side to be her guard.
Ning Yue opened the swaddling clothes. As expected, the children were all sweating from the heat. However, they were very obedient. They seemed to know that their mother was very tired, so they did not cry. They even looked at Ning Yue with sparkling eyes and revealed cute and obedient smiles.
Ning Yue kissed the two little fellows on the cheek, then changed their diapers and fed them before taking out food to replenish her strength.
In the gray surroundings, there was no sound at all. She did not know if the Ning family was still in the forest. They should be. In the Host's memory, the Ning family was so united and loving. It was impossible for them to abandon the Host and Ning Guang so easily.
After resting for a moment, Ning Yue gritted her teeth and carried the children on her back again. Then, she called out to Ning Guang to continue walking deeper into the forest.
"Yueyue, someone… Shh!" Suddenly, Ning Guang heard a sound. He gestured for Ning Yue to hush.
Ning Yue realized that her silly father's hearing seemed to be very good. Even she didn't hear them.
After a while, sure enough, there were the sound of hooves approaching.
Under the night sky, a carriage appeared on a path in the forest. Ning Yue looked at the carriage flying over and pulled Ning Guang aside.
Although she could not see the situation in the carriage, Ning Yue did not sense any danger.
In this day and age, everyone was starving. Those who could still drive their carriages out would definitely not be at their wits' end, nor would they rob refugees who looked very poor.
At that moment, the carriage came to an abrupt halt. The coachman was in his early forties. He was bearded and tall and burly.
"Let's rest here for a while, Uncle Su." A weak-sounding man's voice came from the carriage, ethereal and clear.

"Yes, Eldest Young Master," Uncle Su replied, then got out of the carriage and lifted the curtain.
A man in a white brocade shirt poked his head out, then bent down to get out of the carriage. He was carrying an unconscious boy.
Ning Yue originally didn't want to be a busybody, nor did she want to look at him too much. However, the man under the moonlight was actually very handsome. The moonlight seemed to have plated a layer of soft light on him. His face was like jade, and his figure was tall. He only revealed a sense of weakness, as if his body wasn't well.
The man was holding a four- or five-year-old boy in his arms. He looked unconscious.
After he got out of the carriage, he walked to a tree and sat down. He leaned against the trunk and stared down at the child in his arms. Ning Yue could not see his eyes, but her intuition told her that they were worried.
Her head suddenly ached, as if a worm had bitten her in the brain. In a split second, the man's face flashed into her mind, but he wasn't wearing the clothes she was seeing.
It was strange. This was the first time he had seen this man. How could this image appear? It was as if he had seen him before.
"Yueyue, aren't we leaving?" Ning Guang asked when he saw Ning Yue stop.
Ning Yue turned back to look at the man again. Under the white moonlight, his figure moved. He seemed to sense her gaze, so he looked over.
The moment their gazes met, Ning Yue immediately turned her head. She did not want to cause trouble. That man clearly had a noble status.
"Let's keep going." Ning Yue shook her head and continued walking, but behind her, she heard the child crying out in pain. "It hurts… Boohoo…"
She couldn't help it. She stopped again and turned back to find that the man had risen to his feet. The boy in his arms was crying in pain. Soon he was still.
The attendant, Uncle Su, was anxious. "Young Master's condition is getting worse. Eldest Young Master, what should we do now? The old divine doctor has already left. Other than him, who else can save Young Master?"
He was almost afraid to continue.
In the past, it had been easy to find the old divine doctor, but now that there was a drought, the place where the old divine doctor lived was already empty. They had made a trip but could not find him.
The court was also in chaos now. The Eldest Young Master was facing a lot of pressure to deal with various political enemies and still had to find a way to treat the Young Master.
"No, I'll find a way to cure him!" Jiang Ying hugged the boy tightly and said firmly.
Ning Yue hesitated. Saving lives was her former duty. Even if she had transmigrated now, she could not bear to see a child die in front of her.
She looked at the boy in Jiang Ying's arms. Although she couldn't see him clearly, his purplish-black lips were really eye-catching.
He must have been poisoned by a very powerful poison. But whoever had poisoned him had been ruthless. How could they do that to a child who was only a few years old?
It was a miracle that the boy was not dead. Presumably, he had been treated at great cost, but he was now unconscious. If they could not find the miracle doctor, he would not live for more than a few days.
Ning Yue thought quickly. From the man's carriage, clothes, and temperament, he must be rich and noble. If she could save that child, she might be able to form a good relationship with him and cozy up to him.
After all, the Ning family did not have any very impressive figures. In this kind of society, power was everything.
Furthermore, doctors were benevolent. Ning Yue could not bear to see such a young child poisoned to death. She had already saved one today, so she did not mind saving another.
With this thought in mind, Ning Yue approached the man. She wanted to take a closer look at the boy.
Jiang Ying was so worried about his nephew that he did not notice Ning Yue's approach. When he sensed that there was someone beside him, he had already stood up at lightning speed and grabbed Ning Yue's neck.
He was so fast and ruthless that he was definitely not a novice.
"Young Master, please show mercy! I want to save that young master!" Before Ning Yue was strangled to death, she quickly spoke with difficulty and went straight to the point.
Ning Guang raised his electric baton and wanted to hit Jiang Ying. He shouted, "Don't bully Yueyue!"
In the end, Uncle Su kicked the electric baton away and he fell to the ground.
These two people were not weak in martial arts. A simple electric baton and machete attack was useless.
Hearing Ning Yue's words, Jiang Ying subconsciously loosened his grip, but his cold phoenix eyes were still filled with suspicion. "Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Was this the key point? The key was that she could save that little boy!
Ning Yue took a deep breath. "I heard it by accident. I happen to know some medical skills, so I wanted to try to save him. Let me try. I'll try my best."
