Chapter 173 Mr. Wu
Xiao Qing looked at him incredulously, "You want me to tear my clothes off?"
Modan looked puzzled. "Can't I tear it?"
Xiao Qing held back, feeling that getting the prescription was more important than arguing with him, so she stopped talking nonsense.
As she bent down to tear a piece of fabric from an inconspicuous part of the hem, Modan laughed again.
"Alright, stop tearing it. Just put your hand over and memorize the prescription."
He reached out to take her hand.
Xiao Qing avoided his hand and instead spread her own hands out, saying, "Write it down."
After teasing her enough, Mo Dan picked up the little pen and actually started writing in her palm.
Xiao Qing had a good memory. She thought Mo Dan would write down the names of many herbs, but in the end, she found that Mo Dan only wrote four characters on the palm of one of her hands.
Hot water bath.
Xiao Qing blinked. "That's it?"
"That's it?" Modan lazily put down his pen.
Xiao Qing began to feel that this unserious Mo Dan was making fun of her.
"Is it because my answer didn't satisfy you?"
Mordan looked at her in surprise, "Why do you think of me like that? I really did get better using this method back then."
Xiao Qing twitched her lips. "If you follow your method, the wound will bleed from soaking."
Mo Dan laughed too, "You yourself are a member of the Tanghua tribe, yet you don't even know the habits of the Tanghua? I thought I had met the last member of the Tanghua tribe, but it turns out you're an imposter?"
Xiao Qing felt a headache coming on.
What are the habits of the Chinese tallow tree?
“Even if a wound infected with Tanghua poison is soaked in water, the wound will not open. However, once Tanghua poison is exposed to heat, it will slowly dissipate, and its effect is not much different from your herbal pack.”
Xiao Qing was skeptical, but then she thought that this man looked like a dashing young gentleman and shouldn't be with the men in black. He had no reason to lie to her.
So he decided to say goodbye and go find Xiao Yuan, and then quickly return to the bottom of the valley to see Fu Mingyi.
But Modan followed.
"Why are you still following me?"
"I am not satisfied with your answer, so naturally I will follow you. When your answer satisfies me, I will not stay even if you beg me."
Xiao Qing was extremely helpless.
Her eyes widened, and she was about to speak when she suddenly saw Mo Dan's expression change, and in the blink of an eye, she retreated five steps away.
Where he had just stood, five finger-length silver needles were neatly stuck into the ground.
Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
It's Mr. Wu! He got Fu Mingyi's letter, and he's nearby!
Xiao Qing looked at the direction where the silver needles had been inserted on the ground, then leaped onto the roof of a house next to the alley and looked around.
Just as Mo Dan was about to give chase, another row of flying needles whizzed past, clearly warning him not to follow.
Mo Dan smiled and slightly raised her hands. "Alright, alright, I won't chase after them."
When he looked up, Xiao Qing had already flown over several rooftops and gone far away.
He shook his head with a smile, "They really run fast."
The smile on his lips gradually faded.
It wasn't that he was meddling; things had been unusual in Liuyi County lately.
Many outsiders entered Liuyi County. The county's defenses were lax on the outside but tight on the inside. Some people would even follow any young man they saw on the street.
They are looking for someone.
The entire Tanghua ethnic group was wiped out within the last five years.
The Tanghua tribe didn't originally live in Liuyi County, but now one of them has appeared. If they're looking for her...
These people look like they're from the west.
At this moment, Xiao Qing finally found someone in a dark corner of a mansion.
The person stood in the shadow of the wall, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see him at all.
But Xiao Qing knew that the person was Mr. Wu.
He arrived and was waiting for her.
She jumped happily to his side, "Mr. Wu!"
Mr. Wu slowly turned his head.
“Mr. Wu, it’s great that you’ve come. Fu Mingyi is currently in the abyss. I’ll take you there now.”
But Mr. Wu shook his head, "You go back first."
Xiao Qing wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that this Mr. Wu was a bit strange.
Although Mr. Wu has always been indifferent, he often speaks in a rigid and monotonous manner, without any emotional fluctuation.
But this Mr. Wu...
Xiao Qing became alert.
"Where is Mr. Wu going?"
"I need to take care of something."
"What's up?"
"It's not convenient to tell you. You should go back first."
After saying that, he took a step and quickly jumped onto the roof, disappearing in a few leaps.
Although she had doubts, Xiao Qing couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she put it aside for the time being.
Mr. Wu helped her get rid of Modan, and she needed to hurry to find Xiao Yuan and then return to the valley.
But as soon as she arrived at where Xiao Yuan was waiting for her, her heart sank again.
The once quiet and narrow alley was almost completely filled with people.
She saw Xiao Yuan standing in the middle, her arms tightly wrapped around... two scorpions.
As she got closer, she heard the woman's loud shouts.
"What's wrong with you? You're so young, yet you're so malicious that you sent a scorpion to bite me!"
Xiao Qing climbed onto the roof and looked down from there.
"I don't."
"You're still lying through your teeth! Look at my hands, they've been bitten!"
Xiao Yuan clung tightly to the two scorpions, repeatedly saying, "I didn't!"
But the woman did have two bloody holes on her hands, which looked like scorpion bites.
Xiao Qing started to feel a headache again.
She couldn't abandon Xiao Yuan.
"What's going on?" She looked down at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan looked up and saw it was Xiao Qing. She happily raised the scorpion and shouted, "Catch it, Sister Qing!"
Then he actually pinched the tails of Little Red and Little Black, swung them around in one hand, and used the momentum to throw them hard towards Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief, instinctively reaching out to catch it, but as soon as she got it, she screamed in fright.
Although she had seen two large scorpions while climbing the mountain together, and was no longer particularly afraid, she still couldn't hold them in her arms like Xiao Yuan!
Xiao Yuan probably thought Xiao Qing's voice was too loud, so she covered her ears and shouted, "Sister Qing, run!"
Without a second thought, Xiao Yuan rushed into the crowd.
Now that his two beloved scorpions were gone, he rampaged through the crowd, ignoring the woman chasing and shouting after him, as long as he could get out.
Xiao Qing, holding the tails of the two scorpions, instinctively ran across the rooftop.
Xiao Yuan is being too naughty; how could you give her two scorpions?
Seeing this, Modan burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" the person next to him asked, clearly annoyed. "You wouldn't let me come along earlier, and now you're doing this weird thing. What are you trying to do?"
Mo Dan laughed. "She also said she wasn't a member of the Tanghua tribe. If she wasn't, why would she let the scorpion get close to her?"
"Is she related to you in some way?"
"You don't understand. You just need to prepare what I need."
"Everything is ready. When are you leaving for Nanhua?"
"It can take as little as one day, or as long as five days."
