Siji looked at the saltpeter and said, "This cannot be touched yet. However, if you want to make ice, we can dig some secretly, but no one must know.

Girl, ice is a good thing, especially in summer, but if you can’t protect it, it will bring you trouble.”

Gao Zhi heard this and hung his head.

She knew it would be like this.

This was also her concern.

Now that Si㙓 has said there is nothing we can do, we really can’t move for the time being.

Master Yan is okay in this area, but to be honest, Master Yan can only be one of the backers, and only a small backer at that.

"Where is the magistrate?" Gao Zhi suddenly asked.

Si Ke looked confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gao Zhi said bluntly: "Can we find a way to make the county magistrate our second backer?"

Siqi immediately shook his head, "Too small!"

Well……

That’s the highest official they can meet now, okay?

It’s a little small, but is it really unusable?

"I'll take you to the county tomorrow."

"Going to the county tomorrow?"

"Well, go back to your room and sleep. The secret cannot be revealed." Si Ka was being mysterious again.

Gao Zhi couldn't do anything to him.

…

The next day, Xie was at home, and Si Ke took Gao Zhi to the county.

Before leaving, Si Ke told Mrs. Xie that they might be away for a few days and asked her not to worry!

How could Mrs. Xie not be worried when she heard that he would be away for a few days?

But with Si Ke accompanying her, she couldn't say that she was worried.

She tried to ask, she would go along too.

Gao Zhi asked her to stay at home because the family was indeed very busy and needed someone to stay with them.

There are quite a lot of ingredients to prepare every day.

Although Xie didn't have to do it herself, she had to supervise the work, not to mention that there were people building the workshop.

When building a workshop in the past, the Xie family didn’t have to worry because Gao Shan was there.

Now that Gao Shan and Gao Ronghua are not at home, Xie can only keep an eye on it herself.

Xie had no choice but to stay at home.

Si Ke drove a ox cart and took Gao Zhi to the county.

They did not go to the shop, but went directly to the government office where the list was posted.

There are people watching there every day.

A new list was posted a few days ago, then taken down and posted again.

This is a list of people who spend a lot of money seeking medical treatment.

Si Ke stopped the ox cart and immediately went to take down the list.

The guard standing nearby saw someone take down the list and immediately came over, looking Si Ke up and down with sharp eyes, "Do you know medical skills?"

Siji nodded, "Yes!"

The guard didn't quite believe it. The old man was very thin, and his dark eyes gave people an indescribable feeling.

The guard reached out to take the list, but touched Si Ke's hand, and the guard was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand.

"Why are your hands... so cold?"

Siqi smiled calmly, "This has nothing to do with whether I have medical skills or not. Brother, aren't you in a hurry to save people? If you are in a hurry to save people, why don't you take us to see it.

If you delay any further, the illness will become more serious.

You can’t afford it, can you?”

The guard was silent for a while, "Come on, follow me."

"We have our own ox cart." Si Ke went back and got on the ox cart, and followed the guards' carriage slowly.

The carriage left the bustling area of ​​the county town, entered a country road, went up the mountain, and finally stopped in front of a villa halfway up the mountain.

Gao Zhi was surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a grand villa in the suburbs.

The guard got off the carriage, asked Si Ke to park the ox cart under a tree nearby, and then took them into the courtyard.

Gao Zhi felt strange.

Why didn't they try their medical skills when posting a notice seeking medical advice, and why didn't they ask about my identity?

Aren’t you afraid of people with ulterior motives?

After entering the gate of the villa, Gao Zhi understood.

Once you enter this door, I’m afraid no one can get out easily, right?

Not only are the servants in the courtyard obviously martial arts masters, but who knows how many hidden guards there are in the dark?

Whose villa is this?

Gao Zhi was a little curious.

At the same time, she understood Si Ke's intention of bringing her to the county.

The purpose of revealing the list is probably to find a better backer.

The magistrate said it was too small.

So, this...

It must be of great importance.

Gao Zhi suddenly became a little excited.

Could this person be a higher-ranking official than Gao Tairan?

"Wait here for a moment."

"OK."

The guard went in to report.

After a while, Prince Zhan came out of the house.

When he saw the familiar old man and child, surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.

Zhan Shisan came in from outside and saw Gao Zhi and Si Ke. He couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, why are you here?"

Gao Zhi looked back and immediately recognized Zhan Shisan.

"Big brother, do you live here?"

Prince Zhan looked at Zhan Shisan.

Zhan Shisan immediately explained: "Master, this little girl is from the stinky tofu shop on the street."

Prince Zhan gave Zhan Shisan a cold look.

I don’t know about this?

Zhan Shisan touched his nose and stood aside.

Prince Zhan looked at Gao Zhi and Si Ke and asked, "Have you revealed the list?"

Siji nodded: "Yes!"

"Do you know medical skills?"

"Yes!" Si Ke didn't waste any words.

He only knows the basics, but the little girl can do it.

Even the miracle doctor is not as good as her.

Prince Zhan turned and walked into the house, "Come in and take a look."

Si Ke held Gao Zhi's hand.

"Girl, go!"

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, but this smell could not completely suppress the fishy smell.

Several people walked to the bed.

Gao Zhi and Si Ke looked at the ** people, while Prince Zhan looked at the two of them.

Four. Skilled in mystification.

"Girl, show him. I want to see if you have made any progress recently."

"Yes, Master."

Gao Zhi did not call him old man in front of others, but respectfully called him Master, then walked forward with a serious face to feel the pulse of the sick old man.

The old man's hands were skinny and his face was so thin that his eye sockets were sunken.

He had kept his eyes closed since they came in, and even his breathing was weak.

Gao Zhi placed his small hand on the old man's wrist and took his pulse carefully.

Prince Zhan looked at Gao Zhi closely.

Let the little girl see a doctor?

This girl looks to be only about eight years old. How advanced can her medical skills be?

Gao Zhi has been well-nourished since she was a child. She is taller than other children, so she looks one or two years older than her actual age.

Moreover, she has a chubby face and has not fully grown yet, so her delicate facial features cannot be fully displayed.

After a long time, Gao Zhi let go, turned around, looked up at Prince Zhan with a serious face.

"He won't live more than three days!"

After they finished talking, the room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Zhan Shisan, who was guarding the door, was surprised.

The imperial physician that the prince brought from the capital also came to the same conclusion.

Ten days ago, I said he wouldn’t live more than ten days.

But how could his prince give up?

Although it was in such a remote area, a list was still posted to seek famous doctors.

If an old doctor said such words, Zhan Shisan would not be so surprised, but she was just a little girl.

Prince Zhan was also shocked in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.

"Since you said that, there must be a way, right?"

"You can give it a try, but..." Gao Zhi paused and kept the topic in suspense.

Lord Zhan asked, "But what?"
