The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2423 2423: Hope They Intercept Them on the Way

Luo Ziling spent more than an hour with Lin Lan on that hillside.

They visited many places and talked about many things before Lin Lan prepared to leave.

“If there’s a chance, I’ll come back here to find you!” Lin Lan said, looking reluctant as she prepared to leave.

“Alright, go ahead, you can report back now.” Luo Ziling patted Lin Lan’s pretty little face, “I believe this time you will surely be rewarded.”

“The reward is not important. What’s important is that we all return safely.” Lin Lan gripped Luo Ziling’s hand firmly in hers, “We’ll rest for a while at a nearby military camp. If there are still enemies, we’ll strike again. If not, we’ll return to the Capital in a week.”

“I hope nothing happens!” Luo Ziling smiled and said, “We’ll be here for the entire summer. The movie sponsored by Lingyun Film and Television will be shot here for over a month. The crew is expected to arrive in Wushi today and here tomorrow. In the days to come, we’ll play and shoot the movie. However, my grandpa and I will conquer Tianshan to gather herbs; we need to collect many medicines. Here, take these with you, just in case you need them.”

As Luo Ziling spoke, he pulled a bag from his pocket and handed it to Lin Lan: “These are high-efficiency hemostatic drugs and fast-acting heart stimulants that can save lives in critical moments. Of course, I hope you’ll never need to use these medicines.”

Lin Lan reached out to take it, put it in her pocket, and smiled back at Luo Ziling.

“I’m off then!” Lin Lan said softly.

“Mm!” Luo Ziling nodded.

But Lin Lan didn’t leave immediately; she gazed deeply at Luo Ziling before suddenly jumping towards him.

Luo Ziling quickly extended his arms to embrace her.

Lin Lan also tightly embraced Luo Ziling.

After standing in a tight embrace for a while, they eventually let go.

“I’m leaving!” Lin Lan stepped back two steps, waved at Luo Ziling, then strode away.

She didn’t look back, walking resolutely in a certain direction.

It was only after Lin Lan disappeared at the end of his view that Luo Ziling withdrew his gaze.

Sitting alone on the hillside for a while, Luo Ziling then returned.

When he got back to the village, most of the game they hunted last night had already been cooked.

Seeing Luo Ziling return, Ling Ruonan, who was eating with several other women, hurriedly called him over.

Ling Ruonan didn’t tell others that Lin Lan had visited; after Luo Ziling sat down, she didn’t ask about it either, just invited Luo Ziling to eat. “Hurry and eat, after that take us for some fun nearby, I’m leaving tomorrow!” Ling Ruonan smiled, handing a piece of roasted lamb rib to Luo Ziling, “Eat something, it tastes really good. Tian Shan Blue Sheep, never heard of it before. And the venison, it tastes great too.”

Luo Ziling took the lamb rib and started devouring it, grinning, “I haven’t eaten much after getting up, really hungry.”

It was already past 3 PM, well past lunchtime.

Having accompanied Lin Lan for several rounds on the hillside, Luo Ziling was quite hungry after the physical exertion.

Luo Ziling suddenly realized that Lin Lan didn’t eat lunch before leaving either, feeling a bit regretful for not bringing her some food. But considering Lin Lan’s special forces background, she should be quite capable of surviving in the wild, and they should have food with them, he decided not to worry.

Luo Ziling, holding the lamb rib, sat next to Yang Qingyin, smilingly asking if she slept well last night.

“Didn’t sleep enough, a bit sleepy.” Yang Qingyin yawned discreetly, then handed the half-eaten skewer of mutton in her hand to Luo Ziling, “Ate too much meat, can’t finish it. By the way, did you find any lion’s mane mushrooms yesterday? They were truly delicious, really good.”

“Maybe we’ll find some in the mountains these days, but don’t get your hopes too high. Wild lion’s mane mushrooms are as rare as gold, finding them would be pure luck.” Luo Ziling smiled and continued devouring the meat, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had this Blue Sheep meat, it tastes great. Last night’s effort paid off, the game we hunted can last us several meals. The flavor of the snow chicken is also excellent, far better than the regular chicken we usually have.”

“Are there any protected species?”

Luo Ziling paused for a moment, then laughed, “Wolves are protected too!”

Yang Qingyin softly asked again, “Did Lin Lan come by?”

The abruptness of Yang Qingyin’s question caught Luo Ziling off guard.

Seeing Luo Ziling looking at her surprised, Yang Qingyin smiled lightly, “Did you meet up with Lin Lan last night?”

“Who said that?”

“I guessed it myself!” Yang Qingyin smiled again, “Last night, you went to intercept people who intended to harm us, right? And brought back some game incidentally. Am I right?”

“Let’s not talk about that, it’s all in the past,” Luo Ziling changed the subject, “In the coming days, besides filming, we’ll be playing around. My grandpa and I are going deep into Tianshan for herbs, how do you plan to arrange your schedule?”

“We’ll go into the mountains with you!” Yang Qingyin replied without hesitation.

“You can’t go deep into Tianshan, it’s dangerous!” Luo Ziling shook his head, “At most, you can stay at the camp we set up at the foot of the mountain; you definitely can’t handle going above the snowline.”

“They all want to go!” Yang Qingyin pointed to Luo Yuqing, Ouyang Feifei, and Fang Dongxun.

“It depends on physical condition, you can go as far as you can handle, but above the snowline is off-limits.” Luo Ziling insisted, “How about this, we’ll all go into the mountains, but when my grandpa and I go deep into Tianshan, you all wait at the camp. We won’t stay overnight on the mountain, we’ll come back to the camp before dark. We’ll finalize the arrangements after we discuss in detail.”

“Alright!” Yang Qingyin didn’t push Luo Ziling further, took some vegetables with her chopsticks, and started eating slowly.

Wuyue approached Luo Ziling, and Yang Qingyin tactfully stood up, smiling at Luo Ziling, “I’ll chat with your mom!”

Luo Ziling didn’t say anything, nodded at Wuyue, then patted the spot next to him, “Sit and talk!”

“Young master, the filming crew will arrive in Wushi by evening today and here by tomorrow afternoon. The vehicles are arranged, and when they arrive in the town, accommodations will be set for them.” Wuyue first reported the crew’s situation.

The crew shooting here will not stay in Qingfeng Village but in the town instead.

The conditions are relatively better there, with easier access to horses and hiring of extras.

“Alright!” Luo Ziling nodded, “You go and make the arrangements.”

Wuyue continued, “All the people we captured have been settled, and we’re preparing to send them to the county tonight. The police will escort them back to Yanjing.”

Luo Ziling thought for a moment and then solemnly reminded Wuyue, “Be wary of an ambush; I think the Chen Family won’t just let us take these people back to Yanjing.”

“I’ve made preparations, hoping they attempt to intercept midway.”
