Chapter 212 - 212 Arrival
212 Arrival
“You little brat.”
Doctor Sun spat at Sun Jiyan with a rare look of embarrassment on his face.
“Don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense. Jiyan’s medical skills are only mediocre. It’s just that all these years, the Heart Hall has almost become a safe consistent haven for him. It’s not beneficial to the improvement of his medical skills.
“I’ve long wanted to take him out to gain some experience. He’s been stuck here for too long, if this goes on he’ll be stuck in his own ways.”
“It’ll be a blessing that you will be willing to travel with us,” Zhao Zhan said sincerely. “I’ll arrange your accommodation when we reach Wangshan. It’s just that we originally planned to set off tomorrow, so it may be a little rushed. Do you need help with packing anything else?”
“There’s no need. Jiyan has already packed up.” Doctor Sun waved his hand. “Jiyan and I don’t have much to bring. We’ve also prepared the carriage. Just wait for us to set off together tomorrow.”
“Zhao Zhan, you don’t have to worry too much. I will take good care of my master.”
Sun Jiyan’s tone was gentle, and Zhao Zhan and Jiaojiao felt more at ease after hearing that.
The original two-person journey became a four-person journey. Zhao Zhan paid the bodyguard agency extra silver to bring the master and apprentice along.
The weather was chilly and the ground was frozen. From time to time, they would encounter heavy snow on the road. If the snow melted, the wheels of the carriage would sometimes sink in.
Along the way, many people fell sick from the cold. If it weren’t for the two doctors on the way, the journey would have been delayed.
When they arrived at Wangshan Town, the houses on both sides of the street had already put up red banners as it was nearing the end of the year.
It was snowing heavily. Jiaojiao was wearing a thick traditional dress. Zhao Zhan held her hands in his palms and said, “We’re almost there. We can go shopping for thicker clothes later.”
Jiaojiao was shivering by the time they reached.
Although the carriage had some insulation measures, lying inside in this weather, she could still feel the cold wind blowing into her body.
Zhao Zhan was only wearing a jacket, and compared to Jiaojiao’s cold fingertips, his palm was burning hot.
During this period of time, Zhao Zhan had taken off his jacket and wrapped the blanket around her chest to sleep.
“We’re here.”
The wheels of the carriage stopped rolling. Zhao Zhan alighted from the carriage and paid the silver. Then, he carried Jiaojiao out of the carriage. “Hurry into the shop and stay inside. It’s cold outside.”
A thin layer of snow covered her hair while she walked in. Zhao Zhan followed behind as he carried something into the shop.
“Let’s go.”
Worried that she would catch a cold if she stayed outside for too long, Zhao Zhan simply picked her up and strode into the shop.
“Zhao Zhan?”
Fang Tianliu’s eyes widened in shock when he saw Zhao Zhan enter. He threw the rag aside and quickly walked up to him. “I thought you would be back by spring.”
“I’ll talk to you in detail after I’ve moved my things down and packed up.”
Li Xiangjun heard the commotion in the backyard and walked over to pat him on the back. “Fang Tianliu, are you st*pid? Can’t you see how tired they are from the journey? Go and prepare some food for them to warm themselves up.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go now.”
Zhao Zhan went out to pick up Doctor Sun.
“Doctor Sun, come into the shop and take a rest first.” Zhao Zhan stood in front of the two of them with the bundle in his hands. “There are two rooms in the backyard that used to be occupied by a martial arts master, but he moved out a few days ago. You both can stay there and make do with it for now.”
