Su Fuliu chuckled dryly, then, as if remembering something, pointed in the direction he had come from and said, "I... I saw a tree over there that was entirely crimson..."
Before Su Fuliu could finish speaking, a rustling sound came from all around...

A note from the author:
My lovely readers~~ Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Mwah!
Chapter 131 Um, excuse me.
Su Fuliu was taken aback.
Then four or five people jumped out of the bushes, and two others jumped down from the trees.
Su Fuliu looked at these people and felt a little uneasy.
He hasn't done anything wrong or offended anyone, so he probably isn't here to see him, right?
Then one of them said, "Lu Chimo, we've finally found you."
Su Fuliu looked at the man carrying the medicine basket in front of her with a surprised expression: "You are Lu Chimo?!"
Lu Chimo smiled and said, "Am I that famous already? You've heard of me?"
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes, I've heard of him. Who doesn't know the name of Doctor Lu? There's a saying that goes, 'In the south there is Xiao Shijing, and in the north there is Lu Chimo.'"
"This is also an overestimation by the world."
"Don't you two respect us? You're still chatting at a time like this?" the man said again.
Su Fuliu awkwardly shut her mouth.
Then Lu Chimo said to those people, "Did Marquis Dingyuan send you to find me again?"
The man raised an eyebrow: "It's good that you know. The Marquis has been looking for you for a long time. Come with us."
Lu Chimo shook his head: "I'm sorry, I already told your Marquis that I can't help him with his illness."
"If you can't do it, then no one can."
"Didn't the Marquis go to see Xiao Shijing? Xiao Shijing must have a way to cure the Marquis's illness."
The man replied, "You're so focused on gathering herbs that you're oblivious to the world around you. Xiao Shijing is already dead."
"Dead? How is that possible..." Lu Chimo frowned. He was planning to meet Xiao Shijing next and exchange medical skills with him.
"Alright, Doctor Lu, whether you have a solution or not, come with us. The Marquis ordered us to bring you back; we can't leave empty-handed."
Lu Chimo shook his head and said, "It's no use taking me back. I really can't help the Marquis's illness. Even if you kill me, I still won't be able to help."
The man's eyes darkened: "The Marquis said that if you don't come back with us, we'll have to take your body back with us."
Lu Chimo shrugged: "It seems that today, either you die or I die."
At this moment, Su Fuliu weakly raised one hand: "Um... excuse me, I... I'm just passing by, may I leave?"
What incredible luck he has, running into this as soon as he steps out of the village gate.
Unfortunately, Qin Shi wasn't nearby, otherwise he wouldn't have been afraid.
With the leader of the assassin organization Qin Shi around, these small fry are no match for them.
Oh dear, he regretted it.
Why run? If he gets caught up in this and gets killed by these people, how wronged he would be!
It's going to snow in June.
Lu Chimo's lips twitched.
The man's lips twitched, then he waved his hand and said, "Get lost, get lost, get lost."
Su Fuliu's eyes lit up: "Hey, okay, but this mountain road is bumpy and hard to roll on. Can I walk instead?"
The man felt as if he had been hit on the head, and glared at Su Fuliu: "Hurry up and go."
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving now." After Su Fuliu finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Chimo and gave him a helpless look.
He has no martial arts skills, so staying behind wouldn't be of any help and would only cost him his life. There's no need for him to stay.
Then he took off running, like a rabbit, disappearing in a flash.
"Phew, luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would be dead. I just don't know if Lu Chimo can beat those people. Should I go back and ask Qin Shi for help?" Su Fuliu stopped and muttered to herself.
Just then, the bushes rustled again, and Su Fuliu felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that those people had changed their minds and were going to kill him to silence him?

Chapter 132 Are you trying to split the mountain to save your mother?
Su Fuliu swallowed hard, then casually picked up a dry branch from beside her feet.
If those people really come after him, he'll have no choice but to fight them.
Although, he was fighting a losing battle.
As the sound drew closer, Su Fuliu clenched her hands tighter and tighter.
When a figure rushed out, Su Fuliu immediately swung the dry branch in her hand and struck at it.
Just as he raised it, before he could swing it down, he heard the person shout, "Su Fuliu!"
Hearing the shouts, Su Fuliu looked closely and realized that it wasn't those people who had come, but Qin Shi.
He stood there awkwardly, holding the withered branch.
Qin Shi looked at his posture and asked, "Are you trying to split the mountain to save your mother?"
"..." Su Fuliu threw away the dry branch in her hand speechlessly. "I... I thought bad guys were coming."
"There is indeed a fight ahead. Are you alright?" Qin Shi asked.
Su Fuliu shook her head: "I'm fine. There are indeed people fighting ahead. Can you go and help? Some bad guys are bullying Doctor Lu."
"Dr. Lu...Lu Chimo?"
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes, yes, you know the name of Doctor Lu, right? You should go and save him quickly."
Qin Shi smiled and said, "I should go and help out. That way, Doctor Lu will owe me a favor, and I can ask him for help if I ever need it in the future."
"You really know how to calculate everything perfectly." Su Fuliu rolled her eyes at him.
"Of course, these days, you have to calculate everything carefully. Besides, what I'm doing isn't a bad thing; I'm just looking for what's most beneficial for me to do," Qin Shi replied.
Su Fuliu knew that Qin Shi was telling the truth: "Well, let's hurry over and take a look!"
He was afraid that if there was any further delay, something might happen to Lu Chimo.
Then, the two of them went back to where they had been.
Lu Chimo was still dealing with those people; he wasn't losing, but he hadn't won either.
Su Fuliu straightened her back and said, "Dr. Lu, I'm back!"
Lu Chimo and the others were all taken aback.
Su Fuliu put one hand on his hip and pointed ahead with the other, saying, "Qin Shi, go!"
Qin Shi glanced at Su Fuliu; this kid was too good at abusing his power.
He chuckled softly and stepped forward.
With Qin Shi joining the fight, they quickly routed those people, who fled in disarray.
Lu Chimo glanced at Qin Shi and Su Fuliu, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both for your help."
Su Fuliu smiled and said, "I didn't help much; it was my subordinate who did the work."
"..." Qin Shi was speechless for a moment.
After glancing at Qin Shi, Lu Chimo said to Su Fuliu, "I didn't realize you had such a capable subordinate. You must be someone important, right?"
Su Fuliu laughed awkwardly: "Ah, haha, it's alright, it's alright. I'm just an ordinary person, but I'm lucky to have found such a capable subordinate."
“However, it was Marquis Dingyuan who came to cause me trouble. You helped me, and I’m afraid you’ll have no shortage of trouble in the future,” Lu Chimo said worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu couldn't help but frown.
But Qin Shi snorted: "What is Marquis Dingyuan? I'm just a... idiot, what's there to be afraid of!"
Su Fuliu looked at Qin Shi, thinking that Qin Shi was both the head of Xuanyuan Pavilion and the head of Yulong Village, with great power, and should be able to contend with Marquis Dingyuan.
That's why Qin Shi was so confident, even calling the Marquis of Dingyuan an idiot.
Meanwhile, the long-term ailing Marquis Dingyuan, who was far away in Xiangyi, suddenly sneezed and immediately said with displeasure, "Who is talking badly about me behind my back!"
Lu Chimo smiled and said, "It seems you are not worried about these things, so I am relieved. I will remember your help today, and I will not refuse if needed in the future."
"You're too kind, Dr. Lu," Su Fuliu replied.
Lu Chimo shook his head, then said, "Well then, I'll take my leave now."
But before he could turn around and leave, he saw a figure rushing over...
Chapter 133 Breathing became a little difficult
The man clasped his hands and said, "Chief, I've finally found you. Something's happened. Aunt Xu went out to buy supplies and on her way back, she was ambushed by the people from Eryang Village. They couldn't defeat her, so they used hidden weapons to injure her. Aunt Xu is now poisoned and is dying."
"What?!" Qin Shi's eyes widened. He was about to leave, but then stopped and looked at Lu Chimo. "We may have to trouble Doctor Lu now."
Lu Chimo nodded slightly: "Of course."
Then, Qin Shi looked at Su Fuliu and said, "Let's go."
Su Fuliu nodded: "Okay."
He watched as Qin Shi hurried away nervously.
