Late at night, several assassins came to Mo Chen and his guards' room, poked a hole in the window paper, and blew in a sleeping potion. Yan An had been extremely sensitive to scents since childhood, and she was already conscious when someone came. She quickly took the antidote given to her by Granny Qi.
Just as Yan An was about to feed Mo Chen an antidote pill, the assassins entered. Seeing that it was a little girl in front of them, they didn't think much of it and relaxed their vigilance, thinking that they could just get rid of her. Unexpectedly, Yan An used her small and agile body to use silver needles to pierce the fatal acupoints that Granny Qi had mentioned. In no time, all four assassins fell to the ground.
Although Yan An's medical skills were not excellent, he immediately grasped the vital acupoints taught by Granny Qi, and just now, Yan An inserted the needles with perfect accuracy.
Yan An immediately fed Mo Chen an antidote pill, but it didn't seem to have much effect. Yan An took Mo Chen's pulse, and it was erratic, not like the reaction after being drugged. "Could it be that Brother Mo Chen has been poisoned? But I can tell that it was a drug just now."
The antidote given by Granny Qi was somewhat different from the antidote Yan An later developed, because Yan An added a special ingredient.
"Could it be that Brother Mo Chen already has poison in his body...?"
Yan An didn't have time to think. She couldn't save Mo Chen now. He was the best person she had met since she came down the mountain. She didn't want this handsome older brother to die, so she left all the antidote pills she had with Mo Chen, left a letter, and disappeared into the night.
About fifteen minutes later, the guards woke up and realized they had been tricked. They all ran towards Mo Chen's room and saw the assassin on the ground and Mo Chen lying on the bed. They were filled with regret; they should have stayed with the manor lord.
Over the years, Qianfeng had followed Mochen and had learned some medical skills. He took Mochen's pulse and said, "This is bad. The poison in the Master's body has flared up... Quickly send the Master to Jiugu."
“Qianfeng, look.” Another guard saw the letter Yan An had left behind.
“Brother Mo Chen, you’ve been poisoned. I gave you Granny Qi’s antidote pills. Wait here for me for a day, and I’ll go and call Granny Qi to save you. Granny Qi is very powerful and will definitely be able to cure you. I’ve left all the antidote pills for you. Take one whenever you feel pain; they’re very effective.”
Qianfeng glanced into Yan An's bedroom but didn't see Yan An. Could it be that Yan An had dealt with the assassin? But she was still just a child.
"We can't delay. We must set off tonight for Jiugu. Peng Liang, stay behind to deal with these assassins. Once you're done, catch up with us immediately." Mo Chen was still unconscious, and Peng Liang did not wait there after dealing with the scene.
Yan An used his lightness skill to run all the way, in a great hurry. The journey that should have taken a whole day by carriage was completed by the six-year-old Yan An before dawn.
Old Man Bai Qing and Granny Qi were very anxious when they discovered that Yan An was missing. They had just returned from looking for Yan An outside when they happened to see him at the foot of the mountain, covered in dust and dirt.
"An'an, where have you been?" Granny Qi looked at Yan An with concern. Yan An had many wounds on her body from traveling.
"Seventh Granny, please go and save Brother Mo Chen. He's been poisoned and is dying. I told him to wait for me at the inn. Seventh Granny, please go and save him, okay? The inn is in Ledu..." Yan An gave the inn's detailed address and then fell into a deep sleep.
It seems Yan An has suffered a lot these past two days and has also met someone named Mo Chen. Granny Qi placed Yan An in Old Man Bai Qing's arms, "I'll go check out that inn."
When Granny Qi arrived at the inn, she found the bedroom empty and the signs of a struggle cleaned up. Granny Qi checked the surrounding area again but found nothing unusual, so she turned and went back to the valley.
When Yan An saw that Granny Qi had returned, she ran to her without even putting on her shoes, asking, "Granny Qi, how are you? Have you seen Brother Mo Chen?"
Granny Qi shook her head. "When I went there, the bedroom had already been cleaned up, and I didn't see anyone." The situation at the inn was consistent with what Yan An said, so there was no possibility of going to the wrong address.
"But I told Brother Mochen to wait for me there, how could he have disappeared?" Yan An's voice trembled slightly, terrified that something had happened to Brother Mochen.
"Don't worry, An'an. There were no signs of a struggle in the inn. Besides, didn't you say he was going to see a doctor? The guards must have taken him to the doctor. And didn't you give him a lot of antidote pills? Don't you trust Granny Qi's antidote pills?"
"Grandma Qi's medicine must be the most powerful!" Yan An was still young at the time, and Grandma Qi's words made Yan An stop thinking too much, but she was still very worried about her brother Mo Chen.
To prevent Yan An from sneaking out again, Bai Qing reinforced the mechanisms for descending the valley. Yan An tried many times to no avail, so he gave up.
Mo Chen and his group also headed towards Jiugu, arriving at Jiugu at noon the next day.
"Divine Doctor Jiugu, please save my master! His poison has relapsed." Qianfeng gently placed Mochen on the bed.
After examining Mo Chen's pulse, the Divine Physician Jiu Gu took out his golden needles and, with a fluid and seamless motion, suppressed the poison in Mo Chen's body.
"Did you give him an antidote pill when he came?" When the Divine Physician Jiugu took Mo Chen's pulse, she found that the poison in his body was being suppressed, so he must have been given medicine, and it was probably only she who had this medicine.
Qianfeng handed the antidote pill left by Yan An to Physician Jiugu, "Physician Jiugu, is this the one?"
The divine physician Jiu Gu opened the bottle, poured out a pill, and smelled it closely. It was her medicine, but why didn't she save the child?
"Who gave you this bottle of medicine?"
Qianfeng recounted the whole story to Doctor Jiugu. "I didn't expect you to have taken on a disciple as well. We must have them compete to see whose disciple is more skilled!" Doctor Jiugu muttered to himself, looking at Su Jingzhan beside him with admiration.
At that time, Su Jingzhan was only ten years old. He was particularly fascinated by medicine since childhood and had followed the divine physician Jiugu since he was a child. He could be called a genius.
