Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1058 I am a doctor

Lin Feng said with a smile.

"We came looking for someone, but couldn't find them. We were almost killed by pirates."

The tall, burly man scrutinized him, his face grim.

"How did you get here?"

"We came by boat."

"I've heard that the people of the eight prefectures in Zhenxi are very wealthy. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. Everyone in our area has a house to live in and land to cultivate. The government provides grain and seeds, and we are exempt from taxes for three years."

The group of bandits who had been shouting quieted down, looked at each other, their faces filled with doubt and a hint of longing.

The tall, burly man narrowed his eyes: "With such a good life, why would you come here to die?"

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I'm looking for someone. If I had known this place was so chaotic, I wouldn't have dared to come here."

Lin Feng pretended to look worried and sighed as he spoke.

"Whom are you looking for here?"

"Uh...it's my wife..."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the group of bandits burst into laughter.

"Hey kid, what's your wife doing here?"

They all stared at Lin Feng curiously, waiting for his explanation.

"Because my wife's father brought her here to stay with some relatives, who said they were a wealthy family in the area."

"You two aren't married yet, are you?"

"Did you secretly start dating him?"

"He definitely doesn't have the money to propose marriage."

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Lin Feng could only bury his head and watch the flickering flames on the fire.

"Speaking of women," one of the bandits exclaimed.

"Hey, Xu Qi's wife must be suffocating, let her out for some fresh air."

At this point, someone got up and ran towards the warhorses.

One of the warhorses had a long sack on its back, which looked very much like a human body.

Sure enough, the man put down the bag, opened the mouth, and revealed a woman whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouth was gagged.

His face was pale and he was still unconscious.

The man pulled the gag out of the woman's mouth, patted her back, and checked her breathing from time to time.

After working for a while, he looked dejected.

"Oh no, all that work for nothing, it's dead..."

He gave up on treatment and sat down on the ground.

"That was a huge ransom, and you've ruined it all."

Some people were complaining.

"Master Duan of Luocheng is known as the God of Wealth. He cherishes his daughter like a precious jewel. Now that we've killed her, what are we going to do?"

"I'm not afraid of him seeking revenge, but the loss of a large ransom is infuriating."

The tall man frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Erhu came running back from the riverbank, carrying two large fish and soaking wet.

"Come on, come on, the big fish is here, hurry up and grill it, let the men have a treat."

He went to the fire, put down the big fish, and looked excited.

At this point, no one cared about the big fish anymore; everyone looked dejected.

"Xu Qi, the woman you stole is dead."

A man said in a low voice.

"Shut up, I can see you."

Xu Qi's face turned ashen as he frowned, pondering how to save the woman.

The next moment, he gritted his teeth and bent down to look at the woman lying motionless on the ground.

He reached out and lifted the woman's upper body, pounding her chest and patting her back. After working on it for a while, the woman still wasn't breathing. Exhausted, Xu Qi collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn it, that's a huge ransom..."

Xu Qi turned his head to look at the tall man.

"Boss, someone's dead, what do we do?"

"It's good that he's alive, but if Master Duan finds out he's dead, he'll probably fight us to the death."

Some people said with concern.

"We'll deal with it after we get the money. At worst, we'll just move to another place to make a living."

Some people don't care.

The tall man shook his head: "I, Song Chen, do not do anything without integrity. If I am dead, I am dead. There is nothing more to say. We cannot stay here. Let's head east to Peng County."

“Yes, the boss is right. If it doesn’t work, we should continue east to Qi County. That’s the territory of the Seven Heroes of Yan. We can go there and cooperate with them.”

Someone echoed.

Among the dozen or so bandits, there was an older man who tapped a stone twice with his saber.

The bandits fell silent and turned to look at the middle-aged man.

"Master Duan has a very close relationship with Prime Minister Miao Changfeng of the Great Zheng Dynasty. Miao Changfeng can mobilize tens of thousands of troops in the Great Zheng Dynasty and can also gather countless heroes in the martial arts world. Our operation this time has stirred up a hornet's nest. Not only have we lost our wives, but we will probably also lose many brothers."

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the bandits fell silent, each wondering where things had gone wrong in their business.

A moment later, a man shouted.

"Xu Qi, I told you back then not to touch the Duan family's property, why were you so impulsive?"

Xu Qi was furious: "Suo Laosan, stop spouting hindsight. You've become a mute now that you see how much money the Duan family has."

Song Chen shouted angrily, "Shut up, all of you!"

He glanced at everyone and said, "Even if Master Duan is powerful, how could Miao Changfeng listen to him completely? Besides, the leader of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan is an inner disciple of a hidden sect, and Miao Changfeng can't afford to offend him."

Will the seven powerful families of Yan accept us?

Someone asked in a low voice.

"We're all just trying to make a living in this world. Having more friends means having more options. If we go and seek refuge with the Seven Heroes of Yan, they certainly won't turn us away."

The middle-aged man said thoughtfully.

"They're all from the underworld, and I've heard Yan Xiaoyi is quite straightforward."

"That's right, Yan Xiaobing is also a forthright hero."

"Yes, Yan Xiaoding is also incomparably beautiful."

"What the hell are you thinking about? That's none of your business!"

"What's wrong? Can't I even compliment someone's beauty?"

The group of men instantly became lively again. Men who roam the world can't keep things to themselves; they live for the moment and don't care about tomorrow's fate.

However, Lin Feng glanced at the woman lying on the ground and saw that she was not dead, but rather, like himself before, barely breathing.

Although he hasn't died yet, he's almost dead.

Watching someone die is something Lin Feng has never done before.

She wasn't an enemy, but an innocent woman who had been abducted by bandits and suffered this undeserved misfortune.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng raised his hand.

"Heroes, I am a physician. May I examine this woman's condition?"

A group of men were discussing the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan when they heard Lin Feng speak. They immediately shut up and turned to look at their leader, Song Chen.

"But really?"

Before Song Chen could speak, Xu Qi jumped up, his face full of excitement.

He was the one who initiated the kidnapping of Master Duan's precious daughter from Luocheng, and he was the one who carried the hostage all the way here, only to have her die.

This directly led to a major disaster for the entire team, and I felt guilty.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't rush, let me take a look first, shall I?"

Song Chen nodded: "That would be excellent. If this woman's life can be saved, I will repay you handsomely."

"You're too kind. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda; I was simply doing a good deed..."

As he spoke, he got up and came to the woman, squatted down, and took her pulse with his hand.

A dozen or so men surrounded Lin Feng, glaring at him.

Xu Qi asked anxiously, "Sir, can he still be saved?"

Lin Feng frowned, nodded slightly, and remained silent.
