Chapter 110 The Visitor
The two sisters, who were talking, immediately exchanged a glance after hearing the exclamation, and both of them saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Fan Xiaoxiao immediately washed her hands, stood up, and led Fan Shi towards the thatched hut.
"What happened!" Uncle Wang had obviously heard the commotion and rushed over from the backyard with a machete in his hand.
Fan Xiaoxiao shook her head. Just as they were about to go inside, Xiaobao burst out like a little cannonball. Seeing the group at the door, his face was full of anxiety: "Auntie! Auntie! That big brother in black is going to take Grandpa Fatty away! Come and stop him!"
"The big brother in the black clothes?" Fan Xiaoxiao frowned. Judging from what Xiaobao said, it seemed that he knew the person who came.
"It's that big brother in black who was looking for Sister Ye yesterday!" Xiao Bao was obviously anxious. After explaining to the others in a flustered manner, he pulled Fan Xiaoxiao and tried to walk inside.
Before they even went inside, they heard the old man yell again: "Kid! You better keep your mouth shut! I'm just out for a stroll! Why are you looking at me like I'm a criminal?!"
The sound was quite close, and it seemed that the people inside were also coming out. Fan Xiaoxiao quickly took a few steps forward and saw a young man in black grabbing the old man's ear from inside the thatched hut, trying to pull him out while constantly scolding the old man, "Hey! You old devil! You've been wandering around for two days! Get back here right now!"
"I'm not going back! If I go back, I won't have any food or water, and I'll be locked up!" The old man stubbornly stuck out his neck, his eyes glancing over to spot Fan Xiaoxiao and the others entering. Then, a thought struck him, and he pointed in Fan Xiaoxiao and Uncle Wang's direction, saying, "I took their consultation fee! They promised to provide me with food for seven days!"
After saying that, he pointed to Xiaoyu, who had just had her needles removed, and continued with an upright expression, "And this little girl, I also promised to examine her throat! Black kid, you know my rules! Why don't you let that guy come over himself? Anyway, I'm not going back!"
But to his surprise, Xiao Hei laughed instead of getting angry after hearing his words.
“Old man, of course I know your rules! Mr. Lu and Xiaoyu will be coming back with us later. As for your consultation fee…”
Xiao Hei paused, then slowly glanced at Fan Xiaoxiao and the others. His eyes were filled with a chilling, sinister light, making everyone tremble.
The old man was startled and instantly understood what the boy was trying to do. He stopped struggling and slapped the boy hard on the head, yelling, "Don't you dare mess with me! These kids are good ones! They're still feeding and drinking! You dare touch them and see what happens! I'll poison you right now, you brat!"
"Ouch!" Little Black was in pain from the beating. He rubbed his head and yelled at the old man, somewhat speechless, "What's your hurry! What I wanted to say is, I'll take your consultation fee!"
"Pah! Keep dreaming!" The old man spat in his face and wriggled free from Xiao Hei's grasp like an eel. He darted behind Fan Xiaoxiao and poked his head out, making a face at Xiao Hei.
"I'm not going back with you no matter what! I'll have no food or water if I stay with you. I think you're trying to starve me to death! That guy won't die in a day or two. If you're really in a hurry, bring him here to find me!"
"Oh? Are you sure?" Xiao Hei glanced at the figure that flashed by not far away, a half-smile on his face.
"Of course! You go back and find that guy! I'm not going back anyway." The old man didn't notice his gaze and nodded with a choked voice.
That guy? Fan Xiaoxiao frowned. Could the guy the old man was talking about be the Ye Niangzi she was thinking of? Recalling the way the other person killed people and chopped vegetables, Fan Xiaoxiao shuddered.
If it really is Lady Ye, this guy would better go back to treating patients as soon as possible; she doesn't want to be targeted by Boss Ye.
"Old man, why don't you go back and treat the patient? You can have this young hero take the food back for you."
To everyone's surprise, after hearing Fan Xiaoxiao's words, the old man scoffed, glanced at Xiao Hei from head to toe, and said, "Him? He's more like he ate for me. He ate like a starving ghost being reincarnated. I don't care! I'm not going back!"
After saying that, the old man put his hands on his hips and sat down on the ground like a child, throwing a tantrum.
Fan Xiaoxiao glanced at him helplessly, and was just about to squat down and try to persuade him again when she suddenly saw a flash before her eyes, and then a gleaming dagger was placed against the old man's neck.
Then a voice with a hint of laughter rang out: "Old ghost, long time no see, you still look the same."
Startled by this sudden turn of events, Fan Xiaoxiao fell to the ground with a thud. At the same time, she realized that behind the old man stood someone who seemed to be...
"Ye...Madam Ye?" Madam Fan called out the name that was in Fan Xiaoxiao's heart, looking at the man in front of her who was obviously much taller...? A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, and then, as if to correct her, she called him again: "Uh? Young Master Ye?"
The blindfolded man nodded and smiled in their direction: "I apologize for bothering you all."
Fan Xiaoxiao felt like that smile almost blinded her. Holy crap, they were just talking about a big shot, and here he is!? But wait, this Ye big shot in front of her... what's wrong? He seems to be a man!?
The old man was also startled by this sudden turn of events, but after hearing the voice behind him, he shrank his neck and slightly dodged the dagger at his neck.
"Well, it hasn't been that long, just over a year."
He moved swiftly, and the dagger moved even closer.
"Didn't you ask me to come over? Now that I'm here, can I trouble you to treat my illness?"
"See, see! I think that's enough!"
The old man sighed resignedly, stood up, and waved to everyone: "Alright, you all go about your business! Oh, by the way, kid, I still want the same spicy beef as yesterday! And little girl, could you get her some minced meat or something? She can't speak for a while."
"Beef!?" Xiao Hei became interested and excitedly stood up, moving closer to Fan Xiaoxiao and asking, "Are you having beef for dinner?"
The old man gave Xiao Hei a wary look: "What are you trying to do! There's not much meat there! Don't even think about it!"
"Tch, I'll go buy it, okay!" Xiao Hei pouted, his movements somewhat resembling the old man's. With that, he actually asked Fan Xiaoxiao and the others where they bought the beef, then disappeared after saying "I'll be right back."
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, everyone prepared to go back and continue with their own tasks. Xiaoyu seemed a little angry. When Xiaobao tried to go find her, the child only glanced at Xiaobao before walking towards the backyard, seemingly heading to find her grandfather.
Left behind by his friends, Xiao Bao could only sit next to the old man with his head down, watching him treat the patient. Fan Xiaoxiao, who was walking at the very back, heard Xiao Bao ask the old man, "Grandpa Fatty, what's wrong with Brother Ye... Brother Ye?"
She subconsciously slowed her pace, listening with some curiosity to the sounds behind her.
"I've been poisoned, and it's quite serious and troublesome."
"Then, can it be cured?"
"Yes, I can! It'll be a bit of a hassle. But he's the only one I can heal." The old man's voice was somewhat cold, and he still seemed a little reluctant.
"Grandpa Fatty, you're so amazing! Does that mean you can cure all the illnesses in the world?" Little Bao's voice, seemingly full of admiration, rang out. Fan Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, preparing to leave. At this moment, the old man seemed amused, laughing heartily and boasting to Little Bao:
"That's right! Who told me I'm the Yama, the Ghost Doctor!"
"!!!"
Ghost doctor! ?
