Chapter 211 Departure
Wei Yu had done a lot of work involving opening his mouth to buy on credit, so he felt no psychological burden at all.
Although he didn’t understand medicine, he could copy from the tablets!
Of course, this work was different from the books he had sent out before. Wei Yu couldn’t immediately tell the usefulness or uselessness of the knowledge at a glance, so he could only summarize while copying, learning some traditional Chinese medicine knowledge at the same time, and removing parts that were outdated…
So really, if heaven could grant him a printer that worked however he wished, that would be great!
Always copying like this, his hands were about to break!!
Tan Lin was an obedient and good child.
No matter what Wei Yu said, he didn’t argue, always listening quietly and nodding silently. Only when it came to those free books and medical knowledge did Tan Lin try to argue a bit for himself.
“His Highness, what is recorded in the ‘Thousand Gold Prescription’ related to?”
“His Highness, what do you mean by internal medicine and surgery?” “His Highness, I…”
Good questions, but next time don’t ask again.
As the medicine was about to be boiled, Wei Yu signaled that the child could go take care of other things.
“Lord Tan, your medicine should be ready now, right? Why don’t you go ahead and get busy, we can talk later?”
Wei Yu smiled and stood up, under his calm and easygoing demeanor was the pain that made him want to run away immediately!
For the sake of the people of the world, he had really suffered grievances.
When he went back, he definitely had to ask the old man for compensation for mental distress!
Tan Lin snapped back to reality, and when he saw the medicine pot bubbling on the fire, he immediately remembered he was still boiling the medicine.
“Oh no!”
Tan Lin got up annoyed and quickly checked the pot, “It was my mistake, I actually forgot the medicine was still boiling…”
Wei Yu comforted him: “Lord Tan is also dedicated to the development of medical knowledge for the world, which is why you are so focused. It’s okay, it’s okay, I fully understand.”
Tan Lin looked at him gratefully, “Thank you, His Highness, for your consideration. Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to treat the disaster victims and not disappoint your expectations!”
Sigh, what words these were.
Wei Yu looked at him seriously and said earnestly, “No, it is not about not disappointing me, but you should not disappoint your compassion as a doctor, nor the earnest hope of all those suffering from disease throughout the world, nor the responsibility you bear after these years serving at the Imperial Medical Institute, do you understand?”
Tan Lin was stunned again.
He was so moved by Wei Yu’s words that warmth rose in his heart, and a feeling of shame rose from the bottom of his heart.
Looking back, he seemed to have been wasting time, doing nothing all along. Now, hearing this from His Highness, he really felt he had disappointed in every way.
Whether as a doctor or as an Imperial Physician, he really had not succeeded anywhere.
Truly ashamed.
Tan Lin pursed his lips, got up solemnly, blushed, and saluted Wei Yu, “Thank you for your teaching, His Highness! I will never forget your instructions in this life, will always keep them in my heart, be cautious in speech and behavior, and not disappoint myself or the people.”
Admitting mistakes and resolving to improve—that’s a good child!
With this attitude, it seemed like in the future he could be persuaded back to serve as Dean of the People’s Hospital…
Wei Yu was gratified and helped Tan Lin up: “Lord Tan, get up quickly. Now the disaster victims in Huzhou are all counting on you and Left Court Judge. I believe you’ll do well.”
“Thank you for your trust, His Highness. I will definitely give it my all!”
“Oh, you’re too polite…”
The two looked quite cheerful chatting here. Not far away, Fang Sheng, who had come over, stood under a tree watching, silently counting time in his heart.
A quarter of an hour, right?
It had been a quarter of an hour already, so just how much longer would His Highness keep fooling around?
Not taking a break?
One could only say that Fang Sheng was truly a good subordinate, having followed Wei Yu around for a year and fully understanding his master’s temperament.
Wei Yu just talked a bit more with Tan Lin, and Fang Sheng immediately understood what he was doing, not the least bit curious, only wanting to see if Wei Yu still remembered the plan to travel at night.
After parting with Tan Lin, Wei Yu indeed did not run around anymore, but first took a nap in the carriage.
Not long, just two hours.
Upon waking, the sky was already dark. Wei Yu yawned and got off the carriage. Fang Sheng, who was resting on the carriage shaft, reminded him:
“His Highness, the others are all ready. Shall we set off immediately?”
Ah?
Just woke up and leaving?
Looking around but not seeing his Third Brother, Wei Yu asked Fang Sheng where his Third Brother was.
Fang Sheng replied: “Third Highness took people to the mountain to hunt.”
“Oh, hunting.”
Wei Yu sighed, “Fine, since they have gone hunting, let it be. Fang Sheng, do we have food? Let’s eat before we depart.”
Fang Sheng: “Everyone else has eaten; only you haven’t.”
Wei Yu: …
Well, that really is embarrassing.
–
Since the guards were already ready to go, Wei Yu didn’t linger any longer.
Stuffing two baked cakes into his meal pack, Wei Yu instructed one person to inform the Third Prince later, then he mounted his horse and led two hundred men to set out.
Two hundred people galloping on the official road, the sound of hooves resounding, kicking up clouds of dust. From a distance, the group looked fierce and intimidating—obviously not to be trifled with.
Wei Yu led the group for more than two hours.
From dusk to the moon hanging high in the sky, the group encountered no obstruction. Except that riding by torchlight made it inconvenient, the journey was truly smooth.
“Hoo—”
At dawn’s first light, the group stopped intermittently overnight, finally stopping in front of the county border marker of Linxi County.
Wei Yu sat on his horse, looking at the stone marker carved with “Linxi County.” After three seconds, he couldn’t help but ask Fang Sheng behind him, “Are you tired?”
Fang Sheng: …
Not very eager to answer that question.
Galloping a horse all night, of course one is tired, but as soldiers used to marching and riding, it was just a bumpy ride, not a battlefield with fighting, so the two hundred guards behind him really did not feel much.
But.
He could not say that outright.
Fang Sheng clearly knew what His Highness meant by asking this.
He closed his eyes, “…Reporting to my lord, I am tired.”
Wei Yu nodded satisfactorily, “Good, since you are tired, let’s find a village to rest first.”
At this hour, even the county city wouldn’t be open yet, better to find a village.
Finding a village wasn’t hard. Wei Yu soon found an abandoned village.
Why abandoned? Because half of the village showed signs of having been ruined by floodwaters.
Broken wooden boards were scattered on the ground along with various utensils. Wei Yu sent people to scout the village but found no one, so he understood that the villagers must have moved away after the floods.
Though ruined, there were still some intact houses where people could rest.
Wei Yu was exhausted and as long as he could lie down for a while, he didn’t care about the condition of the place.
He dismounted and signaled his men to rest here first.
