"The Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder live on the east side. Let me take you there."
Seeing Xu Nian's determination, Nilu felt genuinely grateful and immediately offered to help.
“No problem, but I need to talk to them first before that,” Xu Nian said after a moment of contemplation.
She got up and went out to the house where the village chief and others lived.
"Sister!"
Da Bao and Er Bao immediately rushed over and clung to Xu Nian's legs, refusing to let go.
Xu Nian patted their little heads, smiled, took out some snacks, and patiently instructed, "Sister has to go to work later, so you have to be good here and behave well."
Seeing this, the two children were not surprised at all, and patted their little chests to assure them, "Don't worry, big sister, we are very good!"
The village chief approached, "Master, are you going out to work again?"
Xu Nian looked up and nodded in reply, "That's right, I'll have to trouble you to look after them for a while. If you run out of food, just let me know."
Upon hearing this, the village chief quickly put on a smile, "How could I trouble you like this? This is all I should do. You just go and do what you're supposed to do, Half Immortal."
Xu Nian looked around and saw that the villagers still had plenty of grain in their bags, so he turned and left.
Nilu had been waiting outside for quite some time. Xu Nian smiled apologetically, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, I just arrived too."
As Nilu spoke, she took a step forward and explained in detail, "The Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder have always been neutral. Even when I personally requested it, they never took sides. This matter is indeed quite strange."
Hearing her words, Xu Nian roughly guessed what was going on, and then nodded to indicate that she understood.
Could it be that the two elders have some kind of secret that the Prince has discovered, which is why he agreed to his request?
I think it's very possible, or perhaps Baylor gave them something extraordinary.
[Grain, treasure? What does the host think?]
Xu Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
After walking for about 15 minutes, the two arrived at a yurt. Nilu pointed inside and explained, "This is it. It's not convenient for me to go in. You'll have to go in by yourself from here on out."
Hearing the sound, Xu Nian did not investigate further and turned around to knock on the door.
Who is it?
An aged male voice came from inside the house, and then the door opened slightly, revealing the face of an old man with white hair, who was none other than the Sixth Elder.
He looked at Xu Nian with suspicion and wariness. "Who are you, and why are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian spoke frankly and openly, "I am Princess Nilu's friend, and I have something to discuss with you today."
Upon hearing Nilu's name, a hint of panic flashed across the Sixth Elder's eyes, followed by a stern rebuke, "What does the princess's friend want with me? Go wherever you want, don't bother me."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, completely disregarding Xu Nian's expression.
Seeing this, Xu Nian couldn't help but crease her forehead and click her tongue.
[Hahaha, so even streamers get turned away!]
Xu Nian ignored the comments mocking her and looked around.
This place isn't far from Nilu's house, just a few miles away, and the environment is pretty much the same.
As she observed, she suddenly caught a faint scent of herbs in the air.
Out of professional ethics as a doctor, Xu Nian closed her eyes to feel, then suddenly looked up.
inside the house.
The Sixth Elder closed the door, his expression slightly unnatural.
Although she had never met Xu Nian, the other party claimed to be Princess Nilu's friend. Could it be that he had discovered some clues?
Thinking this, the Sixth Elder's heart involuntarily clenched.
He leaned against the door, listening intently to the sounds outside.
It wasn't until Xu Nian's footsteps sounded that the Sixth Elder dared to push open the door to see what was going on.
He looked around, seemingly relieved.
Before he could close the door, Xu Nian's resolute voice suddenly rang out.
"Your room is filled with the scent of Mingcao (a type of herb), has someone been injured?"
The Sixth Elder looked up in horror and met Xu Nian's eyes not far away.
She stood ramrod straight, her expression calm, her words incisive and to the point.
"How...how did you know?"
The Sixth Elder was clearly flustered and took several steps back, leaving the door slightly ajar.
Xu Nian glanced inside without leaving a trace, and saw a teenage girl curled up on the bed in the room. She then continued speaking.
“Using Mingcao usually indicates organ damage and severe internal injury. Your dosage is too high, and the situation is not optimistic.”
Xu Nian made an accurate judgment and kept a close eye on the Sixth Elder's expression.
She noticed that although the other person concealed it well, a fleeting look of surprise and worry crossed their eyes.
In an instant, Xu Nian understood and said seriously, "I can save her."
These four short words made the Sixth Elder extremely hesitant.
He pondered for a long time, then finally let out a long sigh, stepped aside, and said, "Come in."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian smiled and followed him into the house.
The room was small, and the only eye-catching thing was the little girl curled up on the big bed.
She was pale, her body was wrapped in bandages, and her eyes were tightly closed.
Xu Nian immediately frowned and looked at the Sixth Elder, "Her injuries are very serious, what happened?"
Faced with such questioning, the Sixth Elder was not angry at all. Instead, he lowered his head in self-reproach, "This is my little granddaughter. She went out to play by herself and was attacked by a pack of wolves..."
Xu Nian pressed on, exasperated, "She looks no more than eleven or twelve years old, how could you be so comfortable letting her go out on her own?"
The Sixth Elder was speechless, his face pale.
Seeing this, Xu Nian sighed almost imperceptibly, and ultimately did not continue to criticize.
The Sixth Elder was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with hope, "You just said you could save her?"
Xu Nian didn't say anything, but took a step forward and checked her pulse.
The Sixth Elder immediately fell silent, nervously watching Xu Nian's movements, afraid of disturbing her.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, focused her mind and patiently investigated the girl's situation.
a long time.
Xu Nian opened her eyes and turned to meet the Sixth Elder's concerned gaze.
"There is hope." She parted her thin lips slightly and slowly uttered the two words.
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder trembled for a moment with surprise, then his eyes dimmed again. "If you mean taking Mingcao, Zhaozhao has already tried it."
Seeing his reaction, Xu Nian shook her head. "No, I have another way to easily cure her."
This is no exaggeration. Xu Nian is a legitimate doctor, and with the help of talismans and magic, he can handle any difficult or complicated illness.
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder's face instantly lit up with excitement. "Really? Then could you please help my little granddaughter?"
Xu Nian nodded casually.
Immediately, an excited expression appeared on the Sixth Elder's wrinkled face.
“However,” Xu Nian continued.
"Before that, you have to promise me one thing."
