By this time, the area outside was already crowded with people, all of whom knew that the treatment would take three hours.
Judging by the time, the leader should be coming out soon.
If the head of the household doesn't come out for a while, then something must have happened.
The moment the door opened, the underlings exclaimed in surprise... the boss's hair had turned black.
Seeing the amazed looks in the eyes of her underlings, Li Fengying was genuinely happy.
Every woman loves beauty!
"I'm so happy today, I'm having a feast tonight, with plenty of food and drink!"
Then, she put her arms around Su Yujiao's neck and said, "Miss Su, your medical skills are quite good."
"From now on, stay in our village and work as a doctor. I won't treat you badly."
Su Yujiao shook off her hand, feigning anger: "You broke your promise!"
Li Fengying laughed heartily: "Didn't you say that one dose of medicine wouldn't cure it completely? Once it's completely cured, I'll definitely let you go."
Knowing that Su Yujiao was truly capable, Li Fengying didn't dare to offend her too much.
So Su Yujiao was locked up again, but this time not in a dungeon, but in the small courtyard where the medicinal herbs were processed.
Bang! The door was kicked open, and a man rushed in carrying a chubby little boy.
"Madam Su, do you know how to cure snake venom? This child has been bitten by a poisonous snake."
The chubby little boy cried loudly, constantly shouting that he was in pain, which gave everyone a headache.
"Let me take a look first."
Su Yujiao checked and indeed saw two red needle marks on the little chubby boy's chubby, fair ankles, which were still bleeding.
Su Yujiao pointed to the water vat next to her: "Fill it with water, and bring a big iron pot. I want to boil medicinal herbs."
"good."
After the man left, the two looked at each other, and the chubby boy took out a wooden bracelet from his pocket.
Su Yujiao took out a few black pills from inside and dissolved them in hot water.
After filling the water tank, Su Yujiao sent someone to fetch firewood, saying that they were running out of firewood.
The man put down the bucket and left in a hurry.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yujiao applied the medicine to the inside wall and bottom of the wooden barrel. To be on the safe side, she took out a pill, crushed it, and forcefully stuffed it into every crevice inside the barrel.
She has been observing this wooden barrel for a whole day.
Both processing and cleaning medicinal herbs require a lot of water, and the people carrying water use this wooden bucket with a rope attached to it to go in and out.
This indicates that the village's water source is well water, not river water, and ropes are only needed when scooping well water.
Tonight, the village is going to have a big feast, and a lot of water will be needed for everything from cooking and washing vegetables and dishes.
Therefore, all she had to do was tamper with the wooden tub, and the kitchen's water supply would be compromised.
As night deepened, the noise in the village gradually subsided, and soon it fell into a deathly silence.
Su Yujiao picked up a stone and threw it outside the yard, but nothing happened.
The two climbed over the wall and, using the moonlight, hurriedly left, crouching low.
Before leaving, Su Yujiao also took a large knife, a torch, and a tinderbox, since walking on mountain roads at night was an extremely dangerous thing.
The mountain path was indistinguishable at night, so Su Yujiao dared not wander off and could only hide in a cave with the little chubby boy to wait for dawn.
As dawn broke, Su Yujiao determined the cardinal directions based on the direction of the sunrise.
"This way, we'll be home soon, just hang in there a little longer."
"Sister, I can't walk anymore," the chubby boy said weakly.
Su Yujiao then noticed that his complexion was off, and when she touched it, it was alarmingly hot; he must have been chilled last night.
"Come on, I'll carry you on my back."
"Don't carry me, I'm tired too."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. We need to leave quickly, otherwise the bad guys will come after us when they wake up."
Su Yujiao struggled to carry the chubby little boy on her back and walked with difficulty along the steep mountain path.
When she saw the official road, she suddenly felt an urge to cry. She had escaped, but what should she do next?
If Lu Ziqian wants to kill her, she definitely won't be able to go back to her husband's family.
Her family home... the situation is very complicated, she can't go back and cause more trouble.
This world is so vast, it seems there is nowhere for her to find refuge!
"Miss...Miss."
Suddenly, Xiao Tao's loud and excited shout came from behind.
Su Yujiao turned around abruptly and saw Xiao Tao and Gu Heng leading their horses, running up to her one after the other.
Xiao Tao suddenly rushed over, hugged her, and cried her heart out.
Gu Heng was unable to step forward due to etiquette, but he could not hide his excitement.
"Miss... Waaah... Where have you been these past two days?"
"This servant thought she would never see you again."
Su Yujiao handed the unconscious chubby boy to Gu Heng, while she and Xiao Tao rode together on a horse.
"Let's talk as we walk, I'm afraid the bandits will come after us."
"Bandits?"
Both of their expressions changed, and they quickened their pace.
The four men rode their horses at breakneck speed until they reached the city gate before stopping.
On the way, Su Yujiao recounted what had happened in the past two days, and the two then realized how difficult it was for her to escape death.
Gu Heng's eyes were filled with heartache, although she spoke calmly about Lu Ziqian abandoning her.
But he could still sense her despair and grief at the time.
After all, she deeply loved Lu Ziqian!
The deeper the love, the deeper the hurt!
"Lord Gu, this child has caught a cold and is delirious with fever. Please take him back for treatment."
"Also, go and inform the Prefect of the Capital. If the bandits are still asleep, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"By the way, find someone you trust. I suspect those bandits are colluding with the government."
Hearing the title "Lord Gu" brought a pang of sadness to Gu Heng's heart. Back in the Su family, she had always called him Brother Gu...
