Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 860: Chapter 854 Treating People_1

As Qin Xue prepared to take the old woman’s pulse by placing her hand on the woman’s wrist, the old lady’s eyes suddenly opened. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Qin Xue, a beautiful girl she had not seen before in her home. She wondered, “Did Da Lang bring her home?”

“Da Lang,” the old lady called out.

“Mum, I’m here,” Da Lang quickly responded to his mother’s call.

“Did you bring this young lady home?” Da Lang’s mother asked him.

“Yes, Mum, I brought this lady home to treat you,” Da Lang said, understanding his mother’s implication and quickly explaining. He hoped to avoid any embarrassments that might arise.

“Only to treat me? I thought…” Da Lang’s mother’s spirit seemed to dampen upon hearing this. She thought to herself, with their family’s situation, what young lady would even take a second look at Da Lang? She wondered if she would ever live to see him getting married and having children, blaming herself for being a burden to her child.

“Mum, what are you thinking? She is my friend’s wife, a doctor. I haven’t seen them since I got home, but when I saw them this time, I invited my sister-in-law home to take a look at you,” Da Lang said, a bit embarrassed, trying to explain to his mother, looking a bit flustered as he glanced at Qin Xue.

His mother admired strong women, being one herself. His father had passed away when he was young, which meant he had to rely on his mother. After he grew up, his mother sent him to serve in the army.

However, fate had played a cruel joke on them. After his mother fell ill, their life became a daily

Seeing that the opponent was about to grab his arm, he splashed the braised pork in his hand onto the other’s face, then smashed the bowl towards them.

“Ah!…” @@novelbin@@

The opponent’s face was covered in hot oil from the braised pork, and they instinctively turned around to cover their face.

Taking advantage of your illness to take your life!

Di Yelei swiftly swung the hand holding the broken bowl, hitting the opponent’s chest with a heavy punch. The opponent didn’t have time to react and was sent flying, crashing into a row of decorations and knocking them down, burying the general under them.

At this time, the soldiers standing on both sides of the tent finally reacted and rushed towards Di Yelei with loud shouts.

Di Yelei quickly grabbed a spear from behind and wielded it, pointing it at the soldiers with a series of spear movements. Soon, soldiers from another side also rushed over, encircling Di Yelei in the middle and fighting fiercely.

Inside the tent, wine and dishes were laid out at the moment.

Seated at the head was an official dressed in bright purple court attire, who was toasting to an old man in his fifties dressed in cloth clothing.

“Master, your student Zhang Liang pays his respects. It is an honor that you took the time to visit me while passing through this place. Today, I entertain you with light wine, hoping you will kindly impart your teachings.”

The old man waved his hand and sighed: “No harm done, no harm done! Today I just happened to pass by, heard that your troops were stationed here, and came with a chance, not expecting it to be really you. This is the fate of our master-student relationship.”

Zhang Liang also sighed inexplicably: “Isn’t it a fate? I just arrived here yesterday, and you happen to pass by today. Isn’t this a huge fate? I still remember when we first parted as master and student…”

Just at this moment, suddenly there was a violent noise outside, which made Zhang Liang frown and give a few instructions to his followers beside him.

Outside the tent, Di Yelei was in the midst of battling the soldiers.

Zhao Yuanlang and the elder Daoist saw that things were going badly and quickly dodged to the side.

Although this elder Daoist looked old, he was unusually good at escaping. While Di Yelei was fighting fiercely, he dragged Zhao Yuanlang to the southeast corner of the tent, eating the braised pork from the bowl without any concern for the battle happening outside.

Zhao Yuanlang was anxious: “Daoist, aren’t you good at prediction? Hurry up and calculate where we should go now!”

The elder Daoist was chewing on the braised pork, eating while his mouth was full of oil, without any concern.

“Your Majesty, rest assured. I have calculated it outside earlier, although our journey seems extremely dangerous with a slim chance to survive, the key to resolve it lies in your mighty general here!” While speaking, he pointed at Di Yelei with his greasy finger.

Zhao Yuanlang was anxious but didn’t know how to refute. Di Yelei was clearly his son-in-law, but the other party claimed he was his own general. Could this elder Daoist really be a scammer who cheats and eats?

However, at this point, there was no room for him to back down.

“Rest assured, Your Majesty. As the saying goes, every drink and meal are predestined, so let’s just sit here and enjoy ourselves while waiting. I believe that results will come out in a short while.” The elder Daoist didn’t care about the enemies surrounding him.

Zhao Yuanlang was burning with anxiety and wished he could rush up to help.

In front of Di Yelei, there were three layers of people surrounding him, and for a moment, there were earth-shattering sounds of shouting and killing. Although the crowd was dense, no one could get close to Di Yelei.

At first, Zhao Yuanlang couldn’t understand what was going on, but as Di Yelei fought more and more bravely, his suspended heart gradually calmed down.

It seemed that the Daoist was right. Di Yelei was indeed a fierce and brave general. It was a pity for him to be a general in a small place like Macheng County!

Just as the fighting was getting fiercer on this side, in the tent as well, there were “ping pang” sounds generated.

Seeing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Zhang Liang had no choice but to stand up: “Master, please wait for a while, and I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

The elder obviously understood the intention behind the other party’s move and casually nodded in agreement.

“Fine then, you may leave!”

Once Zhang Liang left the tent, the elder thought for a moment before stepping out of the tent as well.

Outside the tent, Di Yelei was still heavily surrounded by the crowd.

“Stop! Everyone, stop!”

Zhang Liang stepped forward and looked down condescendingly at Di Yelei, who was trapped in the middle.

“Who are you? Why did you kill my soldiers here and break into my residence without permission?”

Di Yelei looked at the other party, and the murderous intent on his face gradually faded.

“I am Captain Zhiguo Di Yelei. I came here today to find someone. I have no intention of offending you, General, or of killing anyone.”

Di Yelei? As soon as the elder heard this name, his expression changed immediately.

“Oh? So you’re actually a captain? All of you, back off.”

Zhang Liang casually waved off his soldiers, then looked intently at Di Yelei once again, the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed, and the better he felt about him.

“You said you came here to find someone? Who are you looking for?”

“Naturally, I’m looking for the Post-house Minister of this place!”

Di Yelei glanced slightly in the direction of Zhao Yuanlang. Zhao Yuanlang said that he wanted to find someone here, so it should be the Post-house Minister of this place, right? After all, the highest-ranking official in the hostel was the Post-house Minister.

“Then I’m afraid you’re too late. The original officials here rebelled and have been executed by me.”

Zhang Liang’s face changed instantly, pointing his finger at Di Yelei, “Humph! With your righteous demeanor, how dare you rebel as well? And even have the audacity to collude with these rebels! Bring this man to me! Whoever captures him and takes his head will be heavily rewarded by me!”

“Yes, Great General!”

The surrounding soldiers obeyed the order and gathered around. With his command, a series of clashing sounds rang out from the periphery, and dark shields quickly rose up all around. The powerful crossbows nearby were also pulled to their full extent, ready to shoot Di Yelei into a sieve and turn him into a hedgehog with just one order.

Di Yelei broke out into a cold sweat!

Although he had never seen the destructive power of such strong crossbows, even with the last two thunderbolt bombs in his hands, breaking through the encirclement of these soldiers would not be an easy task! Moreover, he couldn’t just abandon the others and escape on his own…

But now he had no other choice!

Di Yelei secretly gripped the last two thunderbolt bombs, silently assessing the situation around him and looking for a breakthrough.

Just as the tense scene was on the verge of exploding, a cry of surprise and joy suddenly rang out.

“Wait! Everyone, hold your fire!”

“Alright, thank you. But it’s probably going to be the same diagnosis. I’ve lived long enough. My only worry is leaving Da Lang behind,” she said, her face showing the guilt she felt towards her son.

“Mum, what are you talking about? You need to stay alive to see me get married and have kids. You have to help me raise them,” Da Lang replied, his heart aching at his mother’s words.

“Yes, Ma’am, you need to hold on to hope. You have a grandchild to hold in the future. How can you speak like that? Think about your son. He still needs someone to rely on, someone to speak for him. If you give up on yourself, what does he have to look forward to? What if he strays in the future? Don’t you want to watch over him to make sure he doesn’t go astray?” Qin Xue tried to lift her spirits while taking her pulse.

However, the more she felt the pulse, the tighter her brow furrowed. Seeing this, Da Lang felt his heart sinking. Could she not help either? He had thought that since she had the ability to control people’s health through medicine, there might be hope for his mother. But looking at Qin Xue now, he wasn’t so sure. He wondered if the heavens could be a bit kinder to them. Please, don’t take away his last remaining family member.
