Chapter 342: Chapter 341: What you want is in the hands of your ex-husband Chapter 342: Chapter 341: What you want is in the hands of your ex-husband After all, with the Racecourse opening, Nangong Heng still had plenty of things to keep busy with.

He said to Ming Yao, “You can go have a look by yourself, but Chasing Wind is very difficult to tame, you mustn’t let it out.”

Ming Yao nodded, “Alright.”

Ming Yao arrived at Chasing Wind’s stable.

Chasing Wind was tall and majestic; though already old, it still looked imposing.

Ming Yao leaned on the railing, smiling as she greeted it, “Hey, Chasing Wind, I am Nangong Xiao’s daughter Ming Yao.”

Chasing Wind had been making a ‘he he’ sound from its mouth upon seeing someone approach, but upon hearing Ming Yao’s words, it seemed to show intelligence and looked toward her.

Ming Yao and it locked eyes for a few seconds.

Suddenly it walked over to her.

Most people would feel somewhat scared when facing such a tall and fiery steed.

But Ming Yao didn’t back down at all.

She extended her fair little hand and stroked Chasing Wind’s mane.

Chasing Wind didn’t resist, instead, it stretched its head closer to her hand.

Looking at Chasing Wind, Ming Yao felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.

She really wanted to ride.

Thinking so, she acted on it.

She let Chasing Wind out, and instead of running wildly, it stood quietly by Ming Yao’s side.

Ming Yao grabbed the reins, her foot pressed against the stirrup, and she mounted neatly onto its back.

Chasing Wind, carrying Ming Yao, immediately broke into a gallop.

Despite its age, Chasing Wind’s speed and strength were still quite remarkable.

Nangong Heng had been entertaining guests when he suddenly saw Ming Yao riding Chasing Wind out, and his face drastically changed.

“Yao mei, how could you…”

Nangong Heng didn’t finish speaking when Chasing Wind had already run far away.

Nangong Heng cursed inwardly, he immediately mounted a horse and chased after Chasing Wind.

But the speed of Chasing Wind was not something ordinary horses could catch up with.

The Racecourse was located in the suburbs; once it ran out of the Racecourse, it disappeared without a trace.

Ming Yao didn’t bring her phone, so there was no knowing where to find her.

Gu Siting, having ridden around a few circles, suddenly saw a tall and majestic horse speed past him, and when he recognized the figure on the horse, his face drastically changed.

Where is she going riding so fast?

Before he could get a clear look, however, the horse had left the Racecourse.

Gu Siting pulled on the reins and immediately turned around, chasing in the direction where Ming Yao had disappeared.

…

Ming Yao, riding on Chasing Wind’s back, felt none whatsoever.

Leaving the Racecourse behind, Chasing Wind galloped freely on the road.

It seemed like it wanted to take her somewhere.

The wind swept past her ears as she galloped freely through the vast expanse; it was a uniquely wonderful experience.

She didn’t ask Chasing Wind to stop.

Not knowing how long they had run, Chasing Wind suddenly arrived in front of a simple bungalow.

Chasing Wind stopped in the yard.

Ming Yao got off its back and patted its head, “I’ll go in and have a look.”

Ming Yao walked to the door and knocked.

But there was no response for a long time.

Ming Yao pushed the door, found it unlocked, and walked straight in.

The house was very simple, a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom.

Ming Yao walked to the bedroom door and glanced inside; through the dilapidated door, she saw a frail elderly person lying on the bed.

The elderly person seemed to be uncomfortable, emitting faint moaning sounds.

Ming Yao pushed open the door and quickly walked in.

The old man was still in a coma, and she hurried to take his pulse.

Her delicate brows knitted together.

After checking his pulse, the door was suddenly pushed open.

An auntie came in with a bowl of porridge.

Seeing Ming Yao, she was a bit taken aback, “Who are you?”

“I am a doctor. I was passing by and saw that the elder was unwell, so I wanted to take a look at him.”

The auntie glanced at the old man on the bed, “Uncle Hua is a pitiful person. He must have offended someone, as he has been hunted repeatedly. His throat was poisoned mute, and he had been living quietly in the mountains for years.”

“But the mountains are too dangerous. He had no choice but to live here. Who knew that he would be found and beaten half to death while hunting in the mountains a while ago? My son and I searched for nearly a day before we found him barely alive. The hospital wouldn’t even take him in!”

Hearing the name Uncle Hua, Ming Yao’s heart skipped a beat.

Is this the Uncle Hua mentioned by Ning Shu?

Uncle Hua was Nangong Xiao’s most loyal servant before his death. Chasing Wind must have known he was here, hence it brought her here, right?

At that moment, Uncle Hua opened his weak eyes and, upon seeing Ming Yao, there seemed to be a glint in them.

Ming Yao quickly squatted beside the bed, “Uncle Hua, don’t worry, I will save you.”

Uncle Hua’s body was severely damaged, and even if he was saved, his lifespan might not be long, but Ming Yao would do her utmost to save him.

Since she hadn’t brought anything with her today, Ming Yao couldn’t help Uncle Hua much. She comforted him, “Uncle Hua, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Uncle Hua’s body needed more than acupuncture; it also required medicinal herbs for treatment.

Among them was a very rare herb, Snow Ganoderma.

Ming Yao didn’t even have her phone with her, so she borrowed the auntie’s phone to call Jing Hang.

“Last time you said you saw a hundred-year-old Snow Ganoderma at the auction. Do you know who bought it?”

The hundred-year-old Snow Ganoderma was a rare medicinal material that was priceless.

It grew in environments with temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius, on steep cliffs and precipices.

Nowadays, it’s rare to see a hundred-year-old Snow Ganoderma on the market.

“Senior Sister, why do you suddenly need Snow Ganoderma? That thing is really expensive. Last time someone bid Fifty Million for it!”

Ming Yao frowned, “I urgently need it now. See if we can spend more to buy the Snow Ganoderma from that person. If possible, I can also offer to treat their family for free!”

Jing Hang hesitated, “Uh…”

“Speak plainly.”

“Senior Sister, the one who bought the Snow Ganoderma is your ex-husband.”

Ming Yao, “…”

Ming Yao turned to glance at Uncle Hua’s condition inside the house, her brows deeply furrowed, “Then can you see if it can be found through other channels?”

“It’s definitely possible to find it, but it will take time. If you’re in a rush, I’m afraid it won’t be possible to find it in two or three days!”

Ming Yao pursed her red lips tightly.

Uncle Hua’s condition was critical and could not be delayed for too long.

“You keep an eye out for me. I will also think of other solutions on my end.”

Ming Yao found some herbs on a nearby mountain to brew a medicinal concoction for Uncle Hua. After feeding it to him, she rode Chasing Wind back to the racecourse.

Nangong Heng and his men were scouring the area searching for Ming Yao.

But with many mountains in the suburbs, finding someone immediately was not an easy task.

As the sun was about to set and they still hadn’t found Ming Yao, he feared for her safety and was nearly at the point of calling professional rescuers.

The sound of horse hooves clattered.

A lithe and graceful figure in red gradually came into Nangong Heng’s view.

The young girl rode atop a tall and robust horse, holding the reins in her hands as she galloped swiftly towards them, emanating an arresting brilliance that dazzled the soul.

Seeing that she was unharmed, Nangong Heng let out a slight sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was a bit annoyed.

He had told her not to touch Chasing Wind, but why wouldn’t she listen?

“You knew to come back?”

“Big Brother, Chasing Wind truly lives up to being my father’s treasured steed, very perceptive. When I get back, I must bring you a bottle of medicine.”

Nangong Heng, “…” Knowing that he relied on her medicine now, she had his lifeline in her grasp!
