Chapter 92: On The Train
Translator: Tim Editor: Tehrn
Although Yu Erhu was very vigilant before, he was sleeping like a log now and didn't even realized what had happened.
As though she was feeling guilty for Ye Mo, Wang Yan actually gave him two hundred dollars and said, "Brother, I know you had your money stolen before. This 200 is not much, but at least you can save it for an emergency."
Ye Mo looked at this Wang Yan in surprise. She actually felt guilty for what happened before, and still had some conscience. At this moment, Yu Erhu also woke up. He looked at Ye Mo and Wang Yan obviously not knowing what was going on.
Ye Mo pushed the money back and smiled: "No need, I have money, I don't need yours."
Wang Yan didn't expect Ye Mo to reject her offer. In her opinion, although Ye Mo was a bit better than Yu Erhu, he didn't really wear any famous brands either. It could only be said he was neat and tidy. Perhaps he would have an urgent use for his money later, but he just didn't know now.
However, she became worried for Ye Mo rejecting her money: "I really saw your money being stolen, but I didn't dare to say anything at the time because I was scared of him taking revenge on me. Take these 200 dollars; otherwise, I would really feel guilty," she was speaking the truth this time because she had seen too many accounts of people reporting thieves and getting stabbed.
"I said his money was stolen, but he didn't believe me. Now look, you saw it too. You have no money now right? I'll give you 100 dollars too. I'm still a student, so I don't have much money," at this moment, the girl who came over before had a bowl of noodles in her hands, and hearing Wang Yan's words, she also started to take out money.
Hearing these two people's words, Yu Erhu seemed to understand that this young man had his money stolen. He didn't back out and also took out something covered in layers and layers of paper. Eventually, he took out 50 and said, "Brother, I don't have much money either, so I'll help you with fifty. My grandpa said there were a lot of thieves outside and told me to be careful; looks like that Jin Jibing was a thief."
Ye Mo saw these three people were warm-hearted. Although he was a bit frustrated, he was still grateful. This world wasn't completely cold, especially Yu Erhu. Ye Mo saw that although he had a thick stack of money, they were all 50's. Although this person was slightly simple-minded, he was a great person.
Ye Mo saw the situation and could only take Wang Yan's 200 dollars and said to the other two, "I'll be fine with 200, take back your money."
He could tell this girl was a student — she even said so herself — and Yu Erhu was obviously not wealthy. Although this woman in her 40s didn't wear any pricey brands and bought a bed ticket, she had obviously bought it purely to rest, meaning that she wasn't a wealthy person.
Seeing Ye Mo accepting her money, Wang Yan was obviously relieved. She felt extremely guilty for simply watching the thief taking tens of thousands from Ye Mo but didn't dare to call him out.
After Ye Mo had taken the money, he took our three herbs from his bag and gave them to Wang Yan: "I won't take your money for free, take these three herbs."
The two women look stunned at Ye Mo, wondering why she would want his herbs; however, Yu Erhu stared at these herbs that he had never seen before and wandered off in his mind.
"Big Brother, you're also a Chinese doctor!" Yu Erhu said astonished.
Ye Mo shook his head: "I'm not really a Chinese doctor. I just have some understanding of herbs and like to collect them."
At this moment, Wang Yan reacted and quickly pushed the herbs away. "Big Brother, I don't have any use for these things, take them back."
Ye Mo smiled: "Other people might not have a use for these three herbs, but you do."
"Why?" the girl asked astonished. She had already been confused when Ye Mo gave the three herbs to Wang Yan, but now, she was even more confused when Ye Mo said this.
Seeing that another person asked the question for her, Wang Yan didn't talk and wanted to see how Ye Mo would answer.
"Because you still don't have children, you should know your condition better than anyone else. Take back these herbs and boil them three times. Remember not to add anything else, just these three. It would be best if you drink the crumbs too, then you would be fine." Ye Mo could tell that Wang Yan had some problems with her body. Not only was she not able to give birth, but in the long run, she would barely be able to live for another 20 years at most.
He found these herbs in the borderline of Vietnam and still had some remaining. Normal people wouldn't know its use because these three had to be consumed at the same time. To be honest, he was missing a herb that replenished the essence of the body, but Ye Mo saw that Wang Yan's body was quite sturdy, so although she may suffer a little, it shouldn't be a problem. However, before she could drink this, he still needed to use his Chi to help wash her meridians.
Ah! You really can tell that I have..." Wang Yan took the three herbs excitedly with her hands shaking. Suddenly, she bowed down many times to Ye Mo but still couldn't say anything.
She had been married more than ten years but just wasn't able to conceive a child. Not only was his mother in law's family looking down on her, but even her neighbors were insulting her. Even though she had looked at many places and spent a lot of money, she still couldn't solve the problem, and although her husband still loved her, she didn't feel good herself. The frustrated Wang Yan spent all her time on business running day and night tirelessly.
Now that someone said her disease could be cured so simply, how could she not be happy? She was so excited that she couldn't talk anymore. She was already 39, and after another two years, she would truly start to feel hopeless.
But soon she reacted and took out a card from her bag, "This is a bank card, there aren't much inside, but it's my way to thank you, the password—"
Ye Mo couldn't say anything, so he stopped the conversation: "Keep the card, I have enough money; besides, how do you know that I'm not trying to cheat you?" Then, Ye Mo with extreme speed grabbed Wang Yan's wrist and helped her unlock her meridians without anybody noticing.
At this moment, Wang Yan still hadn't realized what was happening, so she just took back the card and suddenly thought, "Yeah, what if he's a fraud? But then, why would he say it out loud? However, the frauds nowadays have a lot of tricks, and some even pretend to be generous. Who knows..."
After thinking for a while, Wang Yan took back the card: "Big Brother, how about you leave your number with me. If this can really cure my condition, I must repay you."
Ye Mo waved his hand: "I don't have a phone, and there's no need for repayment. Furthermore, since you have already paid for these three herbs, there's no need for anything else."
"Big brother, your medical skills are so great, you don't even need to check her meridians, and you could tell her condition. Even my grandpa isn't as skilled as you!" Yu Erhu suddenly said.
Ye Mo said, "Erhu, you are a Chinese doctor, and I think that you're quite a good person. Would you like to pursue a career with me in Luo Cang? I plan to open a clinic, and if you want you can help me out."
"Of course, I do! I don't have any good place to go anyway," Seeing that Ye Mo invited him, the lost Yu Erhu agreed without hesitation.
At this moment, Wang Yan also calmed down. She looked at Ye Mo and then at Yu Erhu, but couldn't be sure if Ye Mo was a fraud. However, Ye Mo helped her before, so although she didn't know if these few herbs were real, she couldn't say much.
The girl saw that Ye Mo was a doctor as well and admired him. Now that Ye Mo said he was going Luo Cang, she immediately said, "I'm also going to Luo Cang, we can go together then! Wait, I'll carry my stuff here."
"Fine, we can help each other with more people." Ye Mo didn't mind this girl taking the train with them. Although this girl wasn't very pretty, she had a good heart, and she looked decent too. Besides, she had wanted to help Ye Mo before.
"I'll help you carry things!" Yu Erhu was a very gentle person, and now that they were familiar with each other, he actually just left his bag on the bed and was going to help the girl carry her things. Just then, he had said that his grandpa told him that there were a lot of thieves outside, yet now just after one conversation, he was already very trustful toward Ye Mo.
Ye Mo nodded and said, "Just go, I'll look after your stuff."
However, Wang Yan looked complicatedly at the three and went back to her bed. She didn't talk anymore but was contemplating whether she should boil the herbs Ye Mo gave her or not.
Soon, the girl moved her stuff over; it was just a case and a bag. This girl was very talkative and enjoyed a conversation with Ye Mo and Yu Erhu. However, Wang Yan didn't talk much, as if something was on her heart.
From their conversation, Ye Mo learned that this girl was still studying in Luo Cang at the Jiang Nan Medical University. Her name was Yang Yi, she was in her third year and was specializing in practical medicine.
The three enjoyed a good conversation and soon, the train had reached Beijing. Wang Yan bid the three farewell and quickly got off the train.
After the train had arrived at Zheng State, the three got off the train and changed their train to Luo Cang. However, believing that Ye Mo had lost all his money, Yang Yi insisted on buying a ticket for Ye Mo. In the end, Ye Mo had no choice, but to take out a stack of 10 thousand telling her that his money wasn't stolen. Only then did Yang Yi backed down.
There weren't any accidents when buying the tickets, and the three only used about half an hour time to get on the train from Zheng state to Luo Cang.
This time, there were no beds but only chairs, and Yu Erhu had insisted on paying his own ticket, so Ye Mo didn't stop him.
"Brother Mo, I heard that you need some certificate to practice medicine in the big cities. If we start a clinic in Luo Cang, will we be checked?" Yu Erhu seemed to not know how the world worked and had been simply instilled some simple knowledge before he had left.
"Of course, you need a certificate; otherwise, you would be judged as a fraudulent doctor," before Ye Mo could reply, Yang Yi answered.
Ye Mo knew that he needed this, but now, as long as he had money, any certificate was easy to make and wasn't too worried.
"Brother Mo and Erhu, you both don't have a phone. How will I contact you later on?" Yang Yi got along well with Ye Mo and Yu Erhu, but she was the only one to have a phone out of the three and saw that Ye Mo was definitely someone who wouldn't take the initiative to call another, so she asked.
"When Brother Mo and I have found a place to stay, we'll call you!" Yu Erhu had a good impression of Yang Yi.
"Okay, Erhu, you must remember to call me. I don't have any people I know in Luo Cang. Knowing you and Brother Mo will make things easier when I need help in the future," Yang Yi said half-jokingly. For Yang Yi, although Ye Mo looked a little ugly with a mark on his face, she felt comfortable talking to him and stayed with him.
The three got to know each other better and better as they traveled and, after a few hours, the train finally arrived at the Luo Cang Station. Ye Mo and Yu Erhu arranged to meet up in the future with Yang Yi and separated at the station.
Chapter 93: Do You Think You Can Leave?

Ning Hai.
For a few days, Ning Qingxue, who couldn't rest properly, finally calmed down. Whether it was the TV or the online news, they showed that the perpetrator of the case a few days ago had already fled Ning Hai, and now, the police patrol in Ning Hai had obviously calmed down. All these signs had meant that Ye Mo had really left Ning Hai.
"Xu Wei, I want to leave a few days. Can you look after the flowers I had planted here, especially this smallest one," Ning Qingxue was just talking to Xu Wei when Li Mumei came from Su Jingwen's place.
Hearing Ning Qingxue's words, Li Mumei was immediately rejoicing: "Qingxue, you want to go back to Yu state?"
However, Ning Qingxue shook her head, "No, I just want to go out by myself and ease my feelings, and it's too boring staying at Ning Hai all the time," she didn't even tell Li Mumei where she was going.
"Qingxue, aren't you going back to Yu state? How about I go with you?" Li Mumei immediately felt things weren't right after hearing Ning Qingxue's words. After all, Ning Qingxue had never been to other places alone, so where would she be going?
Xu Wei already knew that Ning Qingxue's identity wasn't ordinary, and she seemed to have something weird going on with Ye Mo, and although she never asked about it, she was still able to tell. And now, Ning Qingxue wanted to go out and even asked her to look after the flowers.... It was not that she had a problem with it, and besides, she knew that this grass was very important to Ning Qingxue; as for why she had no idea.
Li Mumei saw Ning Qingxue didn't want to say where she was going, so she could only sigh and stopped asking.
Two days later, Ning Qingxue was finally ready to go and just reminded Xu Wei again to look after the grass for her before she left Ning Hai. It wasn't convenient for her to carry Ye Mo's case, but she didn't feel safe leaving it at Ning Hai, so she could only put the contents in a bag.
As for those three beads, Ning Qingxue hadn't been able to find a string good enough to connect them, so she could only put them in the bag. She wanted to find the prettiest string and connect these beads before putting it on her wrist. But now, she wasn't able to find one, so she could only store it away.
The reason she left Ning Hai was that the last time Xiao Lei came, she said that she had met Ye Mo in Flowing Snake.
So, Ning Qingxue wanted to check there since, in her opinion, Xiao Lei saw Ye Mo in Flowing Snake, so it meant that Ye Mo could quite possibly go back there again. She had done her research, and Flowing Snake was a place close to the border, a very chaotic location and good for escaping.
Although she had thought more than once that Flowing Snake was too dangerous, she reminded herself that if it hadn't been for Ye Mo, she would have been long dead. So what if she died again? Besides, she also understood that if she didn't actively look for Ye Mo and just stayed in Ning Hai, perhaps she wouldn't be able to see Ye Mo in her lifetime. She had a feeling that Ye Mo wouldn't come looking for her.
Although she didn't know why Ye Mo came back to Ning Hai last time, she was sure that Ye Mo didn't come for her.
She noticed that her feelings for Ye Mo were getting more and more complicated. Initially, she had only wanted to use him, then she felt guilty and wanted to apologize and compensate him. However, afterward she was hurt while protecting the grass, and it was Ye Mo that treated her. She felt grateful toward him and even wanted to live with him like this for the rest of her life. But she felt that the more she understood him, the farther away she was from him. She was becoming a stranger to him, yet she wanted to understand him more.
There wasn't a direct trip to Gui Lin from Ning Hai, but there was a flight to the Xian Mountain, and from there, Ning Qingxue could go directly to Gui Lin.
Nothing troublesome happened from Ning Hai to Gui Lin. However, after arriving there, Ning Qingxue realized that she couldn't even find a ride to Flowing Snake. No matter how much money she offered, no one wanted to take her to Flowing Snake, and most of them even tried to persuade her that a girl like her shouldn't go to Flowing Snake by herself.
However, Ning Qingxue was determined to go there, so in the end, she had no choice but to go to a rental company and rent a Volkswagen, she was ready to drive herself to Flowing Snake.
Although a ride to Flowing Snake was very hard to find, the route could be easily asked for.
After two hours, Ning Qingxue's car had gone into the twisted mountain paths, and she realized that she hadn't even gone half the way through, but it was already 5 pm.
After another bumpy two hours, Ning Qingxue realized that the roads started to become flatter, and it was more desolate around; the howls of beasts could be heard from time to time, and the wind was blowing crazily on the trees.
Being anxious, Ning Qingxue drove faster and faster.
"Big Brother, I didn't think there would be a car this late, should we move?" In a patch of forest that Ning Qingxue could not see, a few pair of eyes were already gazing at her.
The man called "Big Brother" waved his hand and said, "No need, we still have other business tonight. Plus, a person who drives this model probably doesn't have much loot anyway. And, that Fang Nan's reach is really extensive now, there's no need to expose us for this type of car."
Ning Qingxue would never imagine that she had avoided a disaster just because of the model of car she was driving.
When she finally arrived in Flowing Snake, it was already around 9 pm. The fatigued Ning Qingxue carried her bag and prepared to find a place to stay for the night and look for Ye Mo's news tomorrow.
Flowing Snake was not without its hotels, but they were mostly for those bandits or merchants at the borderline, and those who are able to do illegal business here weren't normal people. These hotels not only had a place to live but also provided a bar for people to drink downstairs.
So as soon as Ning Qingxue walked into the nearest hotel, she immediately attracted the eyes of almost everyone in the hotel.
Flowing Snake did have a few women, but this was the first time that a girl who was as white, young, and beautiful, came. Those who could survive in Flowing Snake had their heads in their hands, and these people were drunk almost every day. So as soon as they saw Ning Qingxue, all the people set their gazes on Ning Qingxue's body, even the two women that were there.
Ning Qingxue looked at the countless eyes of hungry wolves and felt cold shivering uncontrollably.
As though seeing Ning Qingxue shiver, a 30-year-old man sitting at the bar had lights shining out of his eyes. He carried a cup and walked over, "Girl, you're staying overnight? Don't worry, with me here, no one would dare to hurt you. Boss, get me the best room for this girl, it's on me."
As soon as this man came over and talked, a lot of people immediately went quiet. Their lustful eyes also had some sympathy. Everyone knew that this person was called Shi Wei. In fact, he has another title: Echidna. Not only was he cruel, but very hard to deal with because even Fang Nan couldn't do anything about the power behind him. Most importantly, this person was extremely lustful, and countless girls died at his hands.
"No need, I'm going to another place." Ning Qingxue turned back and was about to leave.
"Do you think you can leave? Girl, don't get cocky with me!" Shi Wei saw Ning Qingxue with a pale face wanting to leave, so he immediately threw his cup on the ground and folded his arms, standing at the door staring coldly at Ning Qingxue.
