Chapter 53 An An knows what poison her mother was infected with!
On the way, Pei Ci followed An An and Gu Yi in a lurking manner, which made the accompanying servant unable to bear it and teased: "Sir, you are hiding like this. It doesn't seem like you are trying to protect them, but rather to harm them."
"Go." Pei Ci sneered, his eyes fixed on the carriage not far ahead.
Inside the carriage, An An held the small fish tank and kept muttering, "Little Koi, Little Koi? Can you hear An An talking?"
"Little Koi, why aren't you awake yet?"
Although he knew that it would not be easy to recover from the damage to his soul, the little girl still held on to hope every day.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I hoped to see a familiar boy.
Little Tuanzi became listless again. Seeing this, Gu Yi had no choice but to silently hug Little Tuanzi tighter.
Pei Ci looked at the carriage with tenderness in his eyes. He wondered what Yi'er and An'an were talking about in the carriage now.
Suddenly, Pei Ci's eyes became stern: Something is wrong!
Jiang He, who was guarding outside the carriage, silently grasped the hilt of the sword.
"Swoosh--" a sharp arrow came through the clouds and shot straight towards the carriage.
Jiang He blocked it and shouted seriously, "Protect Madam Gu and Miss An An!"
The scarred man rushed over with a group of bandits, and the flashing of swords and sabers was dazzling.
Inside the carriage, Gu Yi's eyes revealed panic, but he still held the little girl tightly in his arms and comforted her, "An An, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
The little dumpling stayed beside Gu Yi obediently, turned his eyes around, and put the little koi aside carefully. Most of the water in the fish tank spilled out due to the bumps.
Reaching out and touching the scales of the little koi, the little dumpling said in a baby voice: "Little koi, don't be afraid, brother Jianghe will protect us!"
If Jin Li were still here, he would probably complain in his heart: Only this little grass would worry that it would be afraid.
"Mom, mom, I did it secretly!" The little girl's eyes were sparkling, and she held a handful of medicine powder in her hand.
"No, what if..." Gu Yi was still very worried. What if An An was hurt?
"It's okay, it's okay, mother~" Little Tuanzi secretly sprinkled the powder while Gu Yi was still not reacting, and shouted: "Brother Jiang He, close your eyes!"
Jiang He closed his eyes immediately. Pei Ci, who came over from the other side, heard Xiaotuanzi's voice and also closed his eyes.
The scarred man and his group were unable to react in time. The moment their eyes came into contact with the powder, they felt a burning pain and began wailing.
"Ah!" The scarred man covered his eyes and became angry.
"Useless thing! I'll do it myself!" He immediately jumped up and chopped at the carriage with a machete.
As soon as Jiang He opened his eyes, he saw a horrifying scene and shouted, "No!"
Just when he was about to fall onto the carriage, Pei Ci suddenly appeared and started fighting with the scarred man.
Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to kill the remaining bandits.
As the two were fighting, Pei Ci had just cut off the scarred man's hands and feet and was about to put away his sword when he heard the little dumpling's scream from inside.
"Mother!" An An lay beside Gu Yi, her face red from crying. She did not forget to rummage through her small cloth bag to find a small pill and feed it to Gu Yi.
Looking at the blood oozing from her mother's shoulder, An An gave her a pill to stop the bleeding.
However, the arrow was coated with poison, and the blood that seeped out was faintly black and purple.
"Yier!" Pei Ci rushed in.
"Uncle Pei!" Little Dumpling shouted in surprise.
Pei Ci looked at Gu Yi who had fallen into a coma with a distressed look on his face. After Jiang He outside the carriage killed all the remaining bandits, he immediately drove towards the nearby town.
As for the man with the scar, he was thrown behind the carriage and was sweating and bleeding profusely in pain.
Pei Ci walked up to the scarred man and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who sent you to hurt Yi'er?"
The scarred man was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"Tell the truth and I'll spare your life."
The scarred man slowly uttered a name: "Yang Yan."
Pei Ci sneered: If it really is this man, when he returns to the capital, I will make Yi'er suffer a thousand times the pain she has suffered!
Pei Ci then killed the scarred man with a single blow and kicked him off the carriage.
Soon we arrived at the nearby town.
After Pei Ci settled Gu Yi, he saw the little boy squatting beside him, holding the long arrow that had been poisoned, and studying it with his head tilted.
"Ah! An An knows!" Then he took a step forward with his calves and was about to run out.
"Come back!" Pei Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately picked up the little girl.
"Where are you going, An An? Uncle Pei will go with you." Pei Ci naturally wouldn't let this little kid run away alone.
An An twisted around in Pei Ci's arms, and when she realized she couldn't get down, she had no choice but to nestle in Pei Ci's arms.
"Uncle Pei, I know what poison my mother was poisoned with!"
This poison was not a rare one, and the antidote was also very easy to prepare. However, Little Tuanzi scratched his head: there was only one medicine missing from his small cloth bag, called Bai Er Lan, so he thought of going to a nearby pharmacy to buy some.
Pei Ci nodded: "An An is really amazing, let's go, Uncle Pei will go with you."
The little dumpling nodded.
"Please take good care of Yier." Pei Ci instructed Jiang He.
Jiang He nodded, feeling somewhat guilty: It was all his fault that he had not protected Madam Gu well. Now he must take good care of her.
When they arrived at the pharmacy, Pei Ci put the little boy down. The little boy looked up and asked the doctor, "Grandpa, do you have any white-eared orchid?"
The old doctor looked for a long time before he realized that the sound came from below. He looked down and found that it was a little kid.
"Oh, kid, you came at an untimely time. This white-eared orchid was still there yesterday, but it's gone today!"
"Oh, okay." Little Tuanzi said to Pei Ci dejectedly, "Uncle Pei, we can only go to the next one!"
"Oh, this white-eared orchid, I'm afraid you two can't buy it today." The old doctor twirled his beard.
"Why, old man?" Pei Ci was a little surprised.
Xiaotuanzi said that the antidote is not difficult to prepare and it is not a rare medicinal ingredient. Why don’t all the clinics have it?
"Well, there is a wealthy man named Qian in our city. He said his daughter had a strange disease and needed this white-eared orchid to cure her!" The old doctor shook his head, "So he bought all the white-eared orchids from all the clinics in this city."
"But my mother still needs Bai Erlan to treat her illness!" The little girl was so anxious that her eyes turned red, and she didn't know what to do.
Pei Ci picked up the little girl and comforted her, "It's okay, An An, let's go see the rich businessman and buy the Bai Er Lan even if we have to pay more."
This is Yier's life-saving herb. They only need a little bit of it. I'm sure the rich man will agree.
When I found out about the rich man's house, I saw a group of people dressed as doctors or even some traveling sorcerers surrounding the rich man's house, chattering and doing something unknown.
The onlookers noticed the newcomers Pei Ci and An An and said, "You two are new here, right? The Qian family is looking for a miracle doctor! They said that as long as you can cure their young lady, you can ask for any conditions!"
When An An heard this, her eyes lit up.
