Fujian 006

  The beginning of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is the destruction of the Lin family in Fujian. As a newcomer to Jianghu, Lin Heng doesn't know where to go, but fortunately, this is The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, so he just thinks for a moment and decides to head towards Fujian to see if the plot has started.

  All the way here, Lin Heng has seen the elegance of ancient times. The scenery here is very beautiful, no need to say more, you can see a mountain with lush green trees and flowers everywhere, which cannot be seen in later generations. However, although the scenery is good, the place to live and the food to eat are too simple. After sixteen years, I still don't like it here!

  In a small restaurant, Lin Heng made an unpleasant sound with his mouth, then put down the wine jug in his hand.

  The first time he drank, Lin Heng was very satisfied with the degree of wine here. The highest is only twenty or thirty degrees, and most are around ten degrees, which won't make people drunk. And probably because of the backward brewing techniques, the wines here mostly have a sweet taste, just like the drinks in later generations. So he got drunk very happily. Until the next day, he found himself on the street, and the silver on his body was unfortunately gone.

  Thrown onto the street, without money or food, and even his sword was gone, this absolutely made Lin Heng very unhappy. So he turned around and went back to that small restaurant where they had drunk wine before, then very rudely stole a large amount of silver coins.

  This behavior is absolutely unacceptable, but for an otaku, if you make me unhappy, I'll make you unhappy. So, he continued on his way without any psychological pressure. All the way until today, he arrived at a small town and coincidentally caught up with the local market.

  The ancient market was very lively, the streets were almost packed with people coming and going, which is comparable to modern shopping malls. In fact, if you think about it, the village market is just as crowded.

  "Fu Wei Escort Bureau!" Outside an inn, Lin Heng unexpectedly saw several large carts, with boxes piled on top of them. The boxes were covered with blue flowered cloth, and the four characters were written on it.

  It was quite unexpected, just thinking of Lin Heng from Fujian, and then I saw people from Fuwei Escort Agency.

  "Quickly, quickly, quickly..." Just as Lin Heng was muttering to himself, a big man pulled an old man over at a quick pace. Lin Heng noticed that the big man had a box on his back, which looked like a medical kit.

  "Is anyone hurt? This seems too coincidental!" Lin Heng muttered to himself, then quickly walked into the restaurant. However, in the hall, he didn't see anyone from Fuwei Escort Agency. It was expected, after all, Fuwei Escort Agency was so wealthy that even if they were staying outside, they would definitely book a private courtyard, how could they be in an ordinary room?

  Shaking his head, Lin Heng found a place to sit down and started ordering some food. Just as he was about to start eating, he saw the big man rush out again, hurrying away. Not long after the big man left, the old Chinese doctor also shook his head and walked out, looking like he had failed to cure the man's illness.

  Looking at the dishes on the table, Lin Heng frowned and walked towards the backyard. Soon, he saw a group of people walking back and forth in the backyard of the inn. Lin Heng approached them without hesitation, cupped his hands and asked: "Are you all from Fuwei Escort Agency?"

  Those people were stunned for a moment, and a middle-aged man frowned at Lin Heng: "That's right, I don't know who the young brother is?"

  "Down here is a doctor, I just saw you looking for a doctor, so I came over... " Lin Heng smiled, but his words were not very convincing because he was too young.

  For traditional Chinese medicine, this industry is absolutely getting better with age. A young man of his age saying this really can't be believed.

  "Little brother, don't make fun of us..." The big man didn't know Lin Heng's background, but he also had some insight and saw that Lin Heng's footsteps were heavy, knowing that he had skills on him. So although he was angry, he didn't speak ill words.

  Lin Heng smiled wryly and shook his head, saying again: "This brother, I'm really a doctor, and a very skilled one at that. In terms of treating illnesses, I don't dare say, but in terms of treating injuries, I am absolutely better than the doctors here."

  "This..." The big man also understood Lin Heng's meaning, these Jianghu men were more likely to be injured than ill. Lin Heng said this, it meant he was a Jianghu doctor who could treat injuries. After thinking for a moment, the big man looked at the brother who had gone out earlier and hadn't returned yet, then nodded reluctantly: "Alright, since little brother insists, please come in and take a look."

  Dahan led Lin Heng into the small courtyard next door, and in the house, Lin Heng saw the injured person. This was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old, relatively young compared to their group of escorts. However, this young man didn't look well at all; one glance at his face made it clear that his complexion had turned dark as coal.

  It's obvious that this person has been poisoned.

  Lin Heng looked seriously at the young man who was unconscious on the bed, and after a while, he had a bottom in his heart. Then he sat down beside the bed, put his hand on his pulse, nodded his head, and said to the big man beside him: "He was bitten by a snake, right? Did you catch that little thing that bit him?"

  Dahan quickly nodded his head. He knew that Lin Heng had two brushes as soon as he asked, because the old Chinese doctor just now couldn't see what kind of poison was in the young man.

  Immediately, the big man had someone bring in a small insect. This was a dead snake, its body as thick as a finger, about the length of an arm, not very long. Upon closer inspection, you would find that the snake's head was larger than its body, which is a characteristic of the Wu Tou Qing.

  Lin Heng took the Wutouqing, pulled out a thin dagger from his bosom, and with a light slash, he opened its belly. He carefully searched for a moment, and soon pulled out a snake gallbladder the size of a fingernail from inside the Wutouqing's body.

  "With this thing, you brother will get better quickly!" Lin Heng held the snake gallbladder and smiled proudly at the big man, then he asked the big man to bring paper and pen, wrote down a prescription, and told them to hurry up and catch the medicine.

  After the medicine was cooked, Lin Heng directly threw the snake gall into it and then mixed the medicine for the young man on the bed to drink.

  Lin Heng's medicine was very effective, and after the young man drank it, the dark color on his face receded a lot. However, because the young man had been poisoned for a relatively long time, he would need to take several more doses of the medicine in order to completely clear the toxins from his body.

  "Thank you, young brother, thank you...!" The big man saw that Lin Heng had really cured the youth's poison and immediately changed his expression, with a grateful face he bowed to Lin Heng. He let someone bring over a package and stuffed it into Lin Heng's arms, Lin Heng felt it and found that this package was full of silver taels, and there were quite a few.

  Lin Heng did not refuse, but smiled and accepted it. For an otaku, money is absolutely attractive to them, and getting this money is also what they deserve, so Lin Heng naturally would not refuse.

  "Haha…… Brother, you're too kind, please stay a while! " Lin Heng hugged the silver and returned to the inn's main hall with great satisfaction. Then he shouted loudly: "Little second, bring me all your best dishes and wine!"

  He's a nouveau riche, Lin Heng absolutely has the temperament of a nouveau riche, but you can't deny it, being a nouveau riche feels great.

  After eating a big meal, Lin Heng walked out of the restaurant with a satisfied expression and continued on his way to Fuzhou. But he didn't expect that after showing off his wealth, he would attract unwanted attention. Just as he had left the small town and not gone far, he was blocked by two men wielding knives.

  "Hey kid, we just want your money, hand over all the cash you have on you!"

  In front of them, two burly men wearing coarse linen shirts blocked the way. Each held a large knife in his hand, but the knives looked rather unimpressive, with one even having rust on it.

  "Damn, robbery is so unreliable!" Lin Heng muttered in frustration, then smiled and said: "Two brothers, although I have money, I'd rather have money than lose my life, you can kill me now!"

  "What's wrong?" The two big men were a bit stunned, wanting money but not lives, this was truly the first time they had seen such a thing. "Little rabbit, are you playing tricks on us!" One of the big men angrily shouted, and immediately kicked out with one foot, only to find that they had underestimated Lin Heng. He simply sidestepped and dodged the kick, then lightly grabbed hold of the big man's leg, and subsequently Lin Heng exerted his strength to pull forward, causing the big man to cry out in pain as he did a big split.

  Lin Heng smiled and looked at another person, who let out a loud cry when he saw Lin Heng, threw down the rusty big knife in his hand and turned around to run.

  "This is also too unprofessional!" Lin Heng muttered in surprise, then looked down at the man who was still wailing below. The man immediately began to chatter and told his own story of eighteen generations without waiting for Lin Heng to ask.

  To put it bluntly, these two big men were just thugs in the town and couldn't even be considered as people from the jianghu. They robbed Lin Heng simply because they thought he was a young boy, but they didn't expect to run into a tough cookie.

  Lin Heng lost interest upon hearing this, and with one kick, he sent the big fellow running, then continued on his journey.
