Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Feng Jiu accepted it and thanked him joyfully: “Thank you Senior Brother Hu.”

“Well, leave then!” He waved his hand and motioned for Feng Jiu to leave.

“Then I shall take my leave.”

After she had spoken, she turned to leave. As she walked away from the front of the cave dwelling, she couldn’t help but look back longingly thinking in her heart: I wonder what mother is doing? She wanted to go and take a look. Then, she heard the voice of the man named Hu again.

“Why are you still standing there? The Eighth Peak is where all the Martial Uncles live and you are just an errand boy. Don’t offend them, once you’ve delivered the medicinal herbs you should leave immediately.”

“Yes.” She replied in a loud voice and left.

On her way back, she had reached the Seventh Peak when she heard a strange voice headed her way.

“Oh? Aren’t you called? Feng something?”

When she turned her head to look, she saw Chen Dao. Hence, she stepped forward immediately and bowed respectfully: “Feng Jiu gives her greetings to Senior Brother Chen.”

“Yes that’s right, Feng Jiu.” Chen Dao chuckled and looked at Feng Jiu up and down then asked: “Where have you been to deliver medicinal herbs? Have you gotten used to the job yet?”

Feng Jiu’s eyes crinkled up as she smiled at him and replied: “Yes, I’m used to it now.”

“That’s good.” He nodded. When he saw that Feng Jiu’s medicine basket was empty, he asked: “Have you finished delivering the medicinal herbs? Do you still need to go back?”

“The manager has told me to be solely responsible for the medicinal herbs for the deliveries for the Eighth Peak. I’ve just been to the Eighth Peak to deliver the herbs and I’ve got nothing else to do now.” She paused and then asked: “Is there something you need Senior Brother Chen?”

“Yeah.” He nodded, and said: “Since you are free then you will come with me to pick some herbs!” As soon as he had spoken, he stepped forward and motioned for Feng Jiu to follow him.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu followed without asking any questions. It was not until she saw that they had stepped out of Third Sun Peak and walked around to the back of Third Sun Peak and walked towards the back of another mountain when she got curious and asked: “Senior Brother Chen, where are we going to pick the herbs? We are walking along the back paths of the mountains aren’t we?”

She felt like they were being sneaky somehow.

“Don’t ask so many questions, just follow me.” He replied without even looking back and continued walking along on the path ahead.

As she looked at his posture, Feng Jiu thought back to her initial evaluation of Chen Dao and felt like she was being taken on a detour. Was he going to do something bad and had taken her along?

As she thought about this, she hugged her stomach and called out: “Ouch!”

When Chen Dao heard her, he turned around and asked: “What’s wrong?”

“Senior Brother Chen, my stomach hurts, can I….” Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.

“Your stomach hurts? Then relief yourself on the spot, I will wait for you up ahead.”

Relief herself on the spot…..

The corners of Feng Jiu’s mouth twitched, she was speechless as she saw him look at her with a smile. She sighed in her heart and said helplessly: “Well, I don’t need to.”

“No need? Are you sure? I thought you have a stomachache? It’s okay. Besides, it’s still early, I can wait for you.” He smoothed down his moustache as he spoke.

“Uh…. I really don’t need to. It doesn’t seem to be hurting now.” She said softly.

“Alright then! But if your stomach hurts again or if you need to go back first, you can tell me and I can help you solve it.”

Several lines streaked across Feng Jiu’s forehead and her expression stiffened. She knew that Chen Dao was not easy to deal with. She had no choice but to bite her tongue and continue to follow him.
