Chapter 718 Not an Ideal, Butcher's Knife
Even if Lu Yangyang didn't understand, she knew that it was difficult for horses to run in the desert for a long time, but when she arrived that day, she had already noticed that the horses in the caravan were somewhat different.
These horses are much stronger than ordinary horses, even warhorses, in terms of physique alone, which means they have much greater endurance. Therefore, even in harsh environments like the desert, these horses can still run at high speeds.
Caravans are indeed difficult to deal with!
Once they are sent into the desert, it will be very difficult to find their traces.
As Lu Yangyang pondered these things, she became somewhat absent-minded. Just as she was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Tu Jiuying easily passed by her.
Lu Yangyang then came to her senses and sped up.
Lu Yangyang's horsemanship was naturally inferior to Tu Jiuying's, who had grown up on horseback. However, she was fearless in her ignorance. Because she was unfamiliar with the terrain, she could only charge blindly in a straight line. Although she almost fell several times, she arrived at the finish line at almost the same time as Tu Jiuying.
Compared to her, who had swallowed a mouthful of sand and was covered in it, Tu Jiuying looked refreshed, as if she had truly gone on a picnic.
Lu Yangyang spat a few times, raised her hand to wipe her face, and touched a handful of sand.
Tu Jiuying laughed heartily to the side.
"Little girl, you're the first girl who dared to race me on horseback and even held your own. I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Tu Jiuying jumped off her horse and lay down on the sand dune.
Lu Yangyang was covered in sand. She jumped off her horse and hopped around on the ground, trying to shake the sand off.
Tu Jiuying chuckled and tossed her a wine sack: "It's just some sand. No matter how much you jump around, you can't shake it all off."
Lu Yangyang took the wine flask, took another swig of wine, and felt that the wine she swallowed was mixed with sand. This was really not a good experience, so she simply sat down on the ground and let out a breath.
"What is Medicine God Valley like?" Tu Jiuying also sat up, took another wine flask, took a sip of wine, and chatted with Lu Yangyang like an old friend.
How could Lu Yangyang know what Medicine God Valley was like?
If asked to describe it, Wen Qingqing would only say how many kinds of poisonous insects and herbs she discovered in Medicine God Valley.
"The air is humid, there isn't much sand, the sky is very blue, and flowers and plants bloom in all four seasons. It's like a paradise, isn't it?" Lu Yangyang made up on the spot.
Tu Jiuying scoffed, "How naive! There's no such thing as a paradise on earth."
Lu Yangyang remained silent.
There is no real paradise in this world, and a paradise may not be as wonderful as imagined. For Lu Yangyang, being able to live earnestly in a relatively stable environment is a paradise.
Those who disrupt stability should be expelled.
For example, bandits who plunder everywhere.
"If you think Medicine God Valley is a paradise, why leave?" Tu Jiuying looked at her.
“A paradise on earth doesn’t need so many doctors,” Lu Yangyang blinked. “To improve one’s medical skills, one needs to travel the world, right, Sister Jiuying?”
"It seems you really enjoy being a doctor!" Tu Jiuying remarked with great interest.
Lu Yangyang nodded: "Love what you do."
Tu Jiuying laughed again, then raised the wine bag to her: "I grew up in a caravan since I was a child, surrounded by rough brothers. I never had any close playmates. The old women in the caravan all liked me, but the girls were all afraid of me. Looking at them, I felt extremely bored."
"The moment I saw you, I knew you were different from everyone else. You certainly didn't disappoint me; you're so much more interesting than the others," Tu Jiuying took a few big gulps of wine and sighed contentedly, "Awesome!"
"It's my honor that Sister Jiuying likes me." Lu Yangyang's eyes crinkled, her face looking completely harmless.
"Then why don't you stay and let's do something big together!" Tu Jiuying suddenly looked at Lu Yangyang seriously.
Lu Yangyang paused for a moment, then blinked lightly, "What big undertaking?"
"If this world can be ruled by men, why can't it be ruled by women?" Tu Jiuying's eyes were bright, and her heroic features were particularly clear in the moonlight. Her voice seemed to have a magical quality. "From the moment I killed those uncles and brothers who wanted to seize power from the caravan, I thought, how could a mere caravan be enough? I have horses, and if I have soldiers and money, I don't need the world. This Northwest should also have a place for me!"
Lu Yangyang's gaze towards Tu Jiuying became serious.
Tu Jiuying noticed the change in her expression and burst out laughing, "Women have always been playthings of men, but I'll make those men my playthings!"
"How about it, little sister? Come with me, and I can find you any kind of man you desire!"
Lu Yangyang looked at her quietly, then shook her head.
Tu Jiuying's expression changed.
Lu Yangyang said, "You're right. If this world can be a man's world, why can't it be a woman's world? Sister Jiuying, I admire you, but I am a doctor. In a doctor's eyes, there is no distinction between genders. If I refuse to treat someone because they are a man or a woman, then I lose the meaning of being a doctor."
"Haven't you ever thought about making something of yourself?" Tu Jiuying was initially a little unhappy about being rejected, but hearing her affirmation made her curious again.
"Of course there are. I hope there are more doctors in the world," Lu Yangyang replied sincerely.
She hopes there will be more doctors in the world, and that ordinary people will be able to afford medical care.
Tu Jiuying frowned and muttered again, "Naive."
As expected of the little miracle doctor from Medicine God Valley, he is unaware of the dangers of the world.
But she really couldn't help but like this little girl; even though she was naive, she wasn't a downer.
The two finished the wine in the wine bag, and Tu Jiuying shouted, "That was great!"
Then he stood up and extended his hand to Lu Yangyang, "I've never had any friends in my life, it's so nice to meet you!"
Lu Yangyang took her hand, stood up, and smiled at her.
But the moment he mounted his horse, his eyes held a complex expression.
She admired all the passionate women in the world, but she could never agree with Tu Jiuying, a woman who held power yet turned her blade against innocent women.
What difference is there between Tu Jiuying, who treats innocent women as playthings, and the men she wants to defeat?
What she picked up was not ideals, but a butcher's knife.
……
It was already late at night when Lu Yangyang returned to her residence. She first went to see Lin Wuji.
Lin Wuji was still unconscious. Tu Jiuying came over to take a look, gave instructions to the doctor and maid who were taking care of him, and then left.
Tu Jiuying kidnapped more than a dozen doctors and had no intention of releasing them. So the task of taking care of them and preparing their medicine fell to these doctors.
The doctors were relieved, at least Lin Wuji had come back to life, saving them from being implicated.
Fearing that something might happen to Lin Wuji again, they took great care of him.
The doctor on night duty tonight is Huang Sumu's father, Dr. Huang.
After Tu Jiuying left, Doctor Huang knelt on the ground, looking nervously at Lu Yangyang, hesitant to speak.
Lu Yangyang got up and helped him up, saying the words he most wanted to hear, "Your mother is still alive."
Dr. Huang's eyes widened with excitement, and he hurriedly bent down to thank Lu Yangyang, but Lu Yangyang stopped him.
"You can stay here and watch over him. I'll come back tomorrow."
Dr. Huang, afraid of being overheard, dared not say much and nodded hastily.
Lu Yangyang was covered in sand and felt terrible. After giving instructions to Doctor Huang, she was about to leave when Lin Wuji, who had woken up at some point, called out to her, "Stop!"
