Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Great Thief Guyang!

Qi Yue was in trouble!

She had landed in big trouble now!

Just as the sound of catching a thief came from outside, a person had leapt in through the ventilation window above.

The clattering sound of landing didn’t frighten Qi Yue, but it did draw next-door neighbor, Zhang Fang.

Qi Yue dealt with the outside Zhang Fang while observing the young man in front of her.

He couldn’t be older than fifteen, but he had a broad and sturdy stature, quite imposing.

She lived on the third floor, which, in addition to a large window in front, had a small ventilation window on the sloped roof.

The young man had rolled down directly from that window.

On one hand, Qi Yue didn’t understand why the people here designed windows like that, and on the other, she couldn’t figure out how this round-bodied boy squeezed through such a small window.

“Who are you? Why have you entered my room? If you don’t explain yourself, I might just treat you like a thief.”

Qi Yue spoke coldly, secretly readying her electric shock baton.

Earlier, when Zhang Fang had come knocking, the young man had immediately kneeled down, his round face filled with pleading.

She couldn’t bring herself to let Zhang Fang in at the moment.

“Kind sister, please save my dad, my brother, my big sister! Save them, and Song Gensheng is willing to work like an ox or horse to repay you.”

Qi Yue was momentarily startled, unconsciously looking down at herself.

Indeed, although disguising as a man, she hadn’t specifically hidden her feminine features, so it wasn’t strange that he saw her as a woman, but why ask her to save someone?

Could it be that this Song Gensheng actually knew she was a doctor?

But on this journey, except for one time when she had saved someone in a ruined temple, she hadn’t shown her medical skills.

“Kind?” she scoffed coldly, “I am certainly no savior! Since you are young, leave my room immediately, or I shall call for help!”

“No, you are a doctor. I saw you save my uncle that day, please save my dad, save my brother…”

Two streams of tears flowed from Song Gensheng’s round eyes as he began to kowtow.

One kowtow, two, three…

Qi Yue’s mouth twitched.

This child really was guileless. Such kowtowing would surely draw Zhang Fang next door.

Sure enough, Zhang Fang’s voice was heard again outside the door.

“Doctor Qi, I heard a noise in your room. Is everything okay?”

Being Hu Chengxuan’s personal bodyguard endowed Zhang Fang with extraordinary capacities, and knowing she couldn’t deceive him, Qi Yue promptly opened the window at the back, signaling Song Gensheng to leave.

Zhang Fang’s knocking was loud enough to shake the heavens, and Song Gensheng, realizing that Qi Yue wouldn’t intervene, finally left dragging two trails of tears behind.

At that moment, the noise about the thief outside grew louder, and Qi Yue heard that Song Gensheng seemed to have headed southwest.

Qi Yue opened the door, dealt briefly with Zhang Fang, and then learned that today Yongzhou was disturbed by thieves, the soldiers had already wounded several of their leaders. However, they had escaped, so the soldiers were still searching all around.

“Doctor Qi, my duty is to protect you. If anything happens to you, I cannot explain it to our young master,” Zhang Fang said, recalling the scene before they set out.

Before departing, Hu Keqing had specifically instructed him to keep Qi Yue safe, his demeanor making the implications clear to anyone.

And Hu Chengxuan’s implications were clear as well—that once they returned, he intended to make an exception and recruit Qi Yue into the military.

With these two important figures entrusting him, he dared not be negligent.

However, Qi Yue was unaware of his thoughts and assumed he was worried about retrieving the rhinoceros horn, promptly promising solemnly, “Please rest assured, Guard Zhang, I will definitely retrieve the item and help your master stand up.”

Once Zhang Fang had left, Qi Yue immediately changed into her night travel clothes, left through the rear window, and headed southwest as well.

By this time, it had already turned dark and, coupled with the rain and the thief scare, Yongzhou City’s streets were nearly empty, only a few people hurried by occasionally.

Qi Yue followed for two blocks and indeed saw Song Gensheng wander aimlessly in front of a pharmacy’s entrance, looking lost.

Two soldiers guarded the place, so he dared not enter.

Qi Yue already had a rough idea. This family was probably the thieves mentioned by Zhang Fang, who had been injured by the soldiers.

As for why she risked chasing after them, even she found it somewhat shameful.

She wanted to know what they had stolen that had caused such a stir in the entire city of Yongzhou. If possible, she also wanted to try her hand at it.

It had been so long since the last time she collected items in her space, remembering the excitement and satisfaction from that time made her itch for it again.

Now she believed she indeed had a bit of a collecting obsession.

Finally, Gensheng, with tears streaming, walked into a secluded alley, and Qi Yue quietly followed.

After several twists and turns, they finally stopped outside a very ordinary courtyard.

The place was densely populated with numerous roads, making it a perfect hideout.

Gensheng looked around before finally opening the door and going in. Qi Yue continuously teleported in and out of her space, following him into the courtyard.

Inside the main house, three people were lying on the floor, all covered in blood.

As soon as Gensheng entered the room, he embraced the man in the middle and burst into tears.

“Dad, don’t die, I don’t want you to die!”

This man, like the one they had rescued in the dilapidated temple, had a full beard but seemed older.

He was severely injured with several major wounds and looked like he wouldn’t survive.

The young man and woman, both about twenty years old, were not as severely injured, but they too had lost a lot of blood. Suddenly awakened, they both struggled to persuade the crying Gensheng.

“Gensheng, you should leave! Go home!”

“Go and tell Mom that we are here with Dad.”

No one noticed Qi Yue quietly standing there.

Seeing these people hadn’t noticed her yet, Qi Yue simply spoke up, “What did you steal?”

Gensheng immediately stopped crying and turned to look at her.

First shocked, then overjoyed, he exclaimed,

“Good sister, please save my dad!”

The other man and woman, seeing her for the first time, were shocked and stiffened up as if ready to fight her.

Ignoring Gensheng, Qi Yue continued, “What did you steal?”

Gensheng hurriedly introduced Qi Yue to the man and woman.

“Big brother, big sister, this good sister here saved our second uncle a few days ago. She can definitely save Dad too.”

Through his brief explanation, Qi Yue also understood the situation.

A few days ago, Gensheng had accompanied his uncle to scope out the place, but they were betrayed by someone within their group, and the uncle got stabbed.

Gensheng had carried his uncle to the ruined temple, originally going to fetch a doctor. However, upon exiting the temple, he saw Qi Yue and others arriving and hid, witnessing Qi Yue save his uncle.

At dawn, the foolish young man had made a mental note of Qi Yue’s features, thinking of repaying her later.

He had rushed to Yongzhou to inform his father and elder siblings but stumbled upon them being betrayed and in mortal danger. Unable to hire a doctor with the whole city after them, he hadn’t expected to accidentally spot Qi Yue in Yongzhou and sought her out.

Qi Yue was amazed. What kind of bizarre destiny was connecting her with this family? It was too coincidental.

After understanding the situation, the man and woman immediately pleaded with her to save their father, even offering the stolen gold as a consultation fee.

Seeing the three boxes of gold, Qi Yue directly performed her miraculous medical techniques—anti-inflammation and suture. After a busy ordeal, she finally managed to save the dying man.

During the rescue, Qi Yue overheard Gensheng’s elder brother and sister repeatedly mentioning a place—Guyang.

Considering their deeds, a name popped into her head—Guyang Thieves.

These people were the Guyang Thieves!
