Chapter 387: Farewell

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After MO Ruyue finished speaking, her eyes swept over the crowd around her. However, those evasive eyes were destined to disappoint her.

After nearly ten days, MO Ruyue and Gu Ying finally returned to the county.

However, the county no longer existed. The entire city had been hit by a dense number of meteorites, and all the houses had been destroyed in the sea of fire.

The original ruins of the city were only left with craters of various sizes.

As for the mountain range where the Qin Village was located, two of the mountains had their peaks cut off. The continuous fire had almost destroyed the entire mountain forest. Fortunately, the mountain range had a lot of water, so some trees and vegetation were preserved.

When MO Ruyue saw the county, she could not even say a word. She could only let out a gasp.

She had already mentally prepared herself for the tragedy that she had witnessed along the way. However, when she saw the center of the catastrophe, she could only be glad that she had a cheat.

No matter why that senior chose her and Gu Ying. MO Ruyue was already extremely grateful that she could predict such a natural disaster in advance and survive it.

‘Gu Ying, if I didn’t suddenly have that illusion, I might have turned into ashes like the others in this city.”

“Don’t even think about it, Bing ‘Er, you are the one chosen, that’s the best reason.”

Gu Ying saw this scene and was also deeply shocked. He couldn’t help but reach out and pull MO Ruyue into his arms to confirm her existence.

“Lady Qin, you are… Lady Qin?”

A voice came from behind him, filled with disbelief and bewilderment. MO Ruvue turned around and saw a man in razzed clothes with a Dair of crutches. One of his legs had been broken from the base of his thigh to the foot of his other leg. The other foot was also turned outward as if it had grown crooked before it could be restored.

The man looked like he had just escaped from a sea of fire. His face was so blackened that it was impossible to tell what he originally looked like. Half of his face was covered in scars left behind by blisters that had burst from the

“And you are?

Even if she had an eidetic memory, she still couldn’t tell who he was when faced with such a completely disfigured face.

“It’s me, Doctor Li from Huichun Hall!”

That person’s emotions became even more agitated. He was in a hurry to rush to MO Ruyue’s side, but his walking stick tilted and he fell to the ground.

“Doctor Li? It’s you!’

MO Ruyue immediately went forward to help him up.

Doctor Li’s character was good, and he treated the poor and the rich equally. His medical skills were naturally excellent to be able to enter Huichun Hall.

MO Ruyue only nodded to him and was not as close as Imperial Doctor Tian and her little followers.

Originally, she thought that there was no one alive here. She didn’t expect that not only was there one, but it was also an acquaintance. However, when she saw this acquaintance’s unrecognizable appearance, she really didn’t know what to say.

“Lady Qin, you suddenly left the county before, where did you go? Imperial Doctor Tian and the others have also left together. You, do you know something?”

Doctor Li grabbed MO Ruyue’s arm tightly and reproached her.

“Doctor Li, what are you talking about? I left to find a new school for my babies. What can I know?”

Of course, MO Ruyue would not admit to Doctor Li’s accusation. Besides, even if he had doubts in his heart, he had no evidence to prove it.

“A new academy? Yes, your babies don’t have Du Zhongheng as their teacher, they have a master that is despised by all the students in the world. It will be difficult to find a suitable academy.”

Doctor Li seemed to have accepted this reason. Although he was still a little skeptical, he couldn’t find any more faults.

“What happened that day? How did you become like this? Where did the others

This time, it was MO Ruyue’s turn to ask.

Although she knew what had happened, she had not experienced it personally and did not know what it was like when a natural disaster really came.

“That day… The sky was on fire that day…”

Doctor Li’s memory was brought back to that day, and the nightmarish scene seemed to play out in front of him again.

“Countless fireballs fell from the sky. We didn’t even have time to react before many of us were hit. Some were even burned to death in an instant.”

“I-I was out of the city for a house call when a carriage happened to arrive, so I ran as fast as I could. The cries and screams from the city could even reach my ears.”

“That’s hell, a living hell!”

Even if he didn’t go into detail about what happened next, MO Ruyue could roughly guess.

It was nothing more than being hit by rocks or trees from meteorites during the escape and being burned, but in the end, they were lucky enough to escape death and survive.

Doctor Li’s answer confirmed her guess, but he didn’t know what happened to the others. After all, he was outside the city when the natural disaster occurred, so he was lucky enough to escape.

“How did you manage to slip away during this time? Did you see anyone else?” MO Ruyue continued to ask.

She still had a glimmer of hope that there might be others who would be as lucky as Doctor Li.

“I’m a doctor, so I bring my medicine box with me when I go out to see patients. There are even medicinal herbs borrowed from Huichun Hall in the car. If it weren’t for these, I would have died long ago.”

“As for the others, I’ve seen some escapees. Although I asked them to take me with them, they couldn’t take care of themselves and left me behind in the end.”

“I’ve only managed to survive to this day by relying on the charred animal corpses in the mountains.”

After Doctor Li finished telling her his experience, he fell silent. There was still a lingering fear in his eyes.

MO Ruyue had just moved a little when he grabbed her arm tightly again and said, “Lady Qin, you’re leaving, right? Please take me with you. If you don’t care about me, I’ll be dead!”

“I won’t leave for the time being… I still have to search for other survivors. In addition, I have to go into the mountains to see what the Qin Village is like now. I’m afraid it won’t be convenient.”

Although Doctor Li’s encounter was very pitiful, MO Ruyue would not take him away just because of this.

There were too many pitiful people. Even if she wanted to save them, she couldn’t.

“Lady Qin, please do me a favor. Look at my current state, how many more days can I live? Please save me, for the sake of our past work in Huichun Hall!” As Doctor Li spoke, he fell to the ground and slammed his head against the ground, wanting to kowtow to MO Ruyue.

“How about this, I can send you to the nearest town with people and leave you some money for your own protection. I can’t do anything more than that. If you can’t accept it, then well part ways here.”

MO Ruyue said decisively.

Doctor Li looked at MO Ruyue with his mouth wide open. After a long while, he said dejectedly, “Then we’ll do as Lady Qin says.”

Doctor Li had unhealed burns all over his body, so it was obviously unrealistic to ride a horse.

Although they were fast enough, the process of running would wear down his wounds again, so in the end, he had to let Gu Ying drive the carriage to send him away.

MO Ruyue was also very kind and gave him some men’s clothes, silver, and some special burn treatment medicine.

“Lady Qin, I can’t repay your great kindness. If there’s a next life, I will

definitely….”
