The Junior Martial Sister Has a Spatial System

Chapter 7



Chapter 7

After bidding farewell to their master, Su Yue and Xuan Little Four prepared to leave the mountain. With the spatial bag given by Xuan Little Four, the two traveled light, feeling much more relaxed. Su Yue walked ahead alone, while Xuan Little Four and Aunty Chen followed behind, reluctant to part.

"Aunty Chen, since the master is in seclusion, you shouldn't stay on the mountain either. Go down and rest for a while, and come back after we return," Xuan Little Four said with reluctance.

"I know, I'll leave the mountain in a couple of days, then come back every few days to tidy up. You two be careful out there," the old woman said with teary eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry. With our skills, no one can bully us," Xuan Little Four boasted, patting his chest arrogantly.

"Still, you need to be cautious. The people outside are wicked, and you two have been on the mountain without knowing."

"We know, we know, the master has told us."

......

As they approached the foot of the mountain, Su Yue turned back and called out to Aunty Chen, "Aunty Chen, you go back now, we're almost at the bottom."

"Oh, yes, alright. Little Five, you're a young lady traveling alone, be very careful, you understand?" Aunty Chen said.

"Yes, I know," Su Yue replied, taking out two bottles of pills from her sleeve and handing them to Aunty Chen. "Aunty Chen, take these two bottles, one pill a day, they'll strengthen your body."

"Oh, you child," Aunty Chen didn't refuse, since this wasn't the first time Su Yue had given her pills. Especially after learning from Old Third about the preciousness of these pills, she cherished them even more.

"Alright, alright, this old lady will see you off here. You two hurry down the mountain," Aunty Chen said, wiping her tears.

"Mm-hmm, Aunty Chen, you go back. We're leaving," Xuan Little Four responded.

The two then headed down the mountain without looking back, while Aunty Chen kept watching them until they disappeared from sight before slowly walking back up the mountain. Ah, these children, one by one they all left, it's hard to let go.

At the foot of White Cloud Mountain, in Fengyun Town.

"Little Five, let's go to the Divine Medical Hall and find Uncle Xu first. Have him arrange two fast horses for us, then we should be able to reach Xuancheng City in three days," Xuan Little Four said, his words muffled by the candied hawthorn and green bean cake in his mouth.

"Mm-hmm," Su Yue simply glanced at him.

Having never been down the mountain before, Su Yue was completely unfamiliar with the outside world. Gazing at the ancient streets, the diverse people, she realized once again that she had truly transmigrated to an era she knew little about.

Xuan Little Four introduced her to the various shops, foods, and street performances along the way as he ate.

"Please, save my sister, aren't you a divine doctor?" A voice pleaded.

"Hey, kid, it's no use begging me, my medical skills can't save her," an old man in grey clothes with graying hair said helplessly.

A crowd had gathered around them to watch the commotion.

"That beggar must be dead, right?"

"Oh my, I think so, look, he hasn't reacted at all for half a day."

"Doctor Zhang of the Divine Medical Hall has exceptional medical skills. If he says he can't save her, then it must be impossible."

"Ah, pitiful."

"The boy kneeling and begging must be the brother, he looks only six or seven years old."

"They seem to be refugees from outside the city."

......

"Huh? Why is there such a crowd in front of the Divine Medical Hall? What's going on? Little Five, let's go check it out," Xuan Little Four said upon hearing the noise.

Su Yue had also noticed and followed Xuan Little Four to the crowd. She didn't intend to meddle, but she saw the signboard of the Divine Medical Hall from afar - it was her Third Senior Brother's territory after all, so she might as well take a look.

"Doctor Zhang, what happened?" Xuan Little Four managed to squeeze to the front and asked the old doctor.

"Ah, Fourth Young Master, why are you here?" Doctor Zhang asked in surprise.

"Never mind me, tell me what's going on," Xuan Little Four said.

By this time, Su Yue had also reached the entrance of the medical hall. She saw a young beggar boy lying on the ground, holding a two or three-year-old girl in his arms. The girl's face was purple, skinny and bony, with one foot unshod. Upon closer inspection, there were two black holes on her ankle - she had been bitten by a snake.

Su Yue immediately stepped forward, took the girl's pulse, and asked, "When was she bitten?"

The beggar boy stared blankly at this young boy who appeared to be around ten years old, too stunned to answer.

The bystanders also noticed this scene, and Doctor Zhang was the first to react, asking, "Young brother, are you a doctor?"

"Doctor Zhang, this is my little... junior brother. You can call him Little Five," Xuan Little Four introduced Su Yue.

Doctor Zhang's eyes lit up immediately. Junior brother? As far as he knew, the Divine Doctor Xuan only had one junior brother, Xuan Little Four, and another junior sister whose medical skills reportedly surpassed even the Divine Doctor's.

Doctor Zhang looked carefully at Su Yue, indeed, a girl disguised as a boy.

"Young Master Little... Five, this young girl was bitten by a venomous snake in an abandoned temple outside the city early this morning. As soon as the city gates opened, they rushed straight to our Divine Medical Hall, but too much time had passed, and I... I couldn't..." Doctor Zhang explained to Su Yue.

"Bring them inside," Su Yue instructed.

"Yes, yes, of course," Doctor Zhang immediately had a young servant bring the two siblings into the inner courtyard. It seemed she could cure the girl after all.

In the courtyard of the Divine Medical Hall.

Su Yue first fed the little girl a Detoxification Pill, then took out her medical kit, retrieved her tools, and treated the girl's wound. After administering acupuncture to expel the remaining venom, she bandaged the wound.

Doctor Zhang stared fixatedly at the bottle of pills and golden needles that Su Yue had taken out. Those... Those were the Detoxification Pills worth a fortune each, which he had the fortune to see when he was with the Divine Doctor Xuan. And she just gave one to a beggar girl? And those golden needles were also the ones that the Divine Doctor had searched for two years ago and gifted to his junior sister. They were all treasures.

Even Xuan Little Four was scared by Doctor Zhang's intense gaze and shifted away. That expression was just like Third Senior Brother's whenever he rummaged through Little Five's pharmacy for treasures - too terrifying.

"My sister..." the beggar boy's timid voice rose.

"She'll be fine after a few days of rest," Su Yue said gently, looking at the dirty, skinny little brother.

"Really? My sister won't die?" The beggar boy asked excitedly with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, she won't die, but she has been malnourished for a long time and needs to recuperate properly," Su Yue said.

The light in the beggar boy's eyes dimmed instantly.

Su Yue looked at him without speaking.

"But... But I have no money," the beggar boy said, looking at Su Yue. He had heard Doctor Zhang address her as Young Master Little Five, so this young master must be the owner. He immediately knelt down. "Please, please save my sister."

"I have already saved her," Su Yue said calmly.

"I know, I mean, could you please let my sister stay in the medical hall until she recovers?" The beggar boy pleaded anxiously. "I'll work as a laborer for you."

"I don't need laborers," Su Yue said.

"Then... Then I'll chop firewood, carry water... I'm strong..." The beggar boy sweated profusely in desperation.

"You can stay at the medical hall and do odd jobs then. No wages, just three meals a day. Whenever you've worked off the cost of the medicine, you can leave," Su Yue said.

"Good, good, I'll do odd jobs," the beggar boy said happily, kowtowing to Su Yue.

Xuan Little Four quickly helped the boy up. "Hey, kid, don't kneel. Hurry up and tidy yourself up if you're going to do odd jobs."

"Let me arrange it, let me arrange it," Doctor Zhang finally regained his senses and had a young servant take the boy away to clean up.

Then he stared at Su Yue with bright eyes. "So this must be the Young Lady, your medical skills are truly extraordinary."

Su Yue scratched her nose, unsure why the old man was acting so strangely.

"Doctor Zhang, just call me Little Five," Su Yue said awkwardly.

"Oh, alright, Little Five. Little Five, what pill did you give that little girl earlier?"

"Oh, that one," Su Yue took out the medicine bottle from earlier, "is the Detoxification Pill I made myself, and it works quite well."

"You made... a Detoxification Pill?" Doctor Zhang exclaimed.

"Yes... yes..." Su Yue was also startled by his reaction.

Then seeing Doctor Zhang staring intently at the medicine bottle in her hand, his eyes burning as if he wanted to bore a hole through it, he said hesitantly, "Do you... do you want some?"

With that, she handed the bottle over to him.
