Chapter 255 The Witch Doctor Arrives in Jizhou City
Ye Chutang had already prepared the herbs needed for detoxification.
She just used buying medicine as an excuse to get away from everyone's sight.
Then she followed the route she had planned for Caesar to look for Ah Man who had failed to arrive on time.
Madam Qi held Ye Chutang's arm and said, "Tang'er, Zhou'er can't live without you right now. If you need any medicine, please write it down and ask He'er to buy it."
Qi Hean nodded quickly, "Second sister-in-law, let me do this kind of errand work."
Ye Chutang patted the back of Madam Qi's hand soothingly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Ah Zhou. My third brother doesn't know about medicinal herbs, so I have to go buy them myself to get the best."
The old lady had no way to refute this and had to let go.
"Then go and come back quickly."
"Mom, it may not be fast. I have to go find Nan Xiao first and ask about the situation."
Mr. Qi shook his head gently at the old lady and looked at Ye Chutang.
"Tang'er, we will replace the ice in Zhou'er's room in time, so you can go ahead and do your work."
He believed that no matter what Ye Chutang did, it was for the good of his son.
"Dad, I'll be back soon."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he quickly left the inn.
She hadn't walked far when she realized someone was following her secretly.
The other person was very skilled. She looked back several times but failed to catch him.
In the entire inn, there is only one person with such good hiding skills.
"Sun Chu!"
The man who was named appeared in front of Ye Chutang.
He touched his nose awkwardly.
"You look quite alert. What on earth are you going to do?"
"It has nothing to do with you. Don't follow me anymore, or I'll let you taste the sour taste of the poison."
"No, I'm leaving!"
After Ye Chutang made sure that Sun Chu had gone far away, he quickly walked to an empty corner and used his earth-related abilities to go to the door of the house where Nan Xiao was temporarily staying.
Nan Xiao lived in a mixed area in the north of the city and chose a relatively quiet place.
It is easy to gather information and entering and exiting will not attract attention.
Just as Ye Chutang was about to climb over the wall, Nan Xiao opened the door and came out.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
"Go inside and talk."
After entering the dilapidated house, Ye Chutang asked, "What's going on with Caesar?"
According to the distance and speed, we should reach Jizhou City at noon.
Nan Xiao looked at Ye Chutang who looked anxious, and hesitated to speak.
He remembered Qi Yanzhou's warning and finally chose to conceal it.
"Maybe he was delayed on the way. I was just about to look for him along the way when Madam came to find me. Did something happen to the master?"
Ye Chutang realized that Nan Xiao was not telling the truth.
But she knew Nan Xiao's character well. If he chose not to say anything, he would not open his mouth no matter how she forced him.
She could only exaggerate the severity of Qi Yanzhou's condition.
"Azhou's condition is very bad. I have tried my best. If the witch doctor can't get here before dark, I'm afraid..."
Nan Xiao's face turned pale, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.
"The witch doctor will surely come!"
After saying this resolutely, he unclenched his fist and said, "Madam, please take good care of the master. I will go find a witch doctor now."
Ye Chutang grabbed Nan Xiao's arm.
She asked confidently, "Do you know where the witch doctor is?"
Before Nan Xiao opened his mouth to deny it, she added.
"This concerns Azhou's life. If you know where the witch doctor is, tell me and I will take care of it."
"Ma'am, I don't know where the witch doctor is."
Ye Chutang let go of Nan Xiao's arm and stared into his eyes.
"Azhou's life is hanging by a thread. I hope you won't regret hiding this in the future."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Nan Xiao looked at Ye Chutang's back, his heart full of struggle.
In the end, he still didn't call Ye Chutang, to be honest.
After Ye Chutang came out of the house where Nan Xiao was temporarily staying, he hid underground.
She did not leave, intending to follow Nan Xiao quietly.
By the way, she checked underground to see if there were any galloping horses on the route she had planned.
There were not many people on that road, and the hot weather made it even less crowded.
If a horse is galloping towards Jizhou City, it is most likely a witch doctor.
But Ye Chutang explored all the way to a place a hundred miles away, and all he saw were only some pedestrians and a few horse-drawn carriages, but no horses coming in a hurry.
Something is wrong!
Even if Xize and the witch doctor got stuck on the road, the people Qi Yanzhou arranged to pick them up would quickly resolve the issue.
No matter how slow they are, they should be within 50 miles away from Jizhou City.
But there were no galloping horses on the road.
Then there are only two possibilities.
Either something happened to the witch doctor, or the witch doctor has already arrived in Jizhou City.
Just as Ye Chutang came to the conclusion, Nan Xiao walked out of the house.
He disguised himself as a rough man with a full beard and walked quickly towards the gathering place of poor people where all kinds of people lived.
Ye Chutang locked onto Nan Xiao's footsteps and moved synchronously underground.
She was now almost certain that the witch doctor was in Jizhou City at this moment.
But why didn't she go to the inn to help Qi Yanzhou get rid of the poison?
With doubts in his mind, Ye Chutang followed Nan Xiao through twists and turns, and it took him nearly a cup of tea to stop.
She was thankful that there were many poor people in the north of the city and the roads were all dirt.
If it is a bluestone slab, it is easy to lose people in crowded places.
She found a place with few people and came out from underground when no one was paying attention.
Then he hid in the dark and stared at Nan Xiao.
Just in case, Ye Chutang applied some medicinal powder on his body to repel poisonous insects.
Nan Xiao knocked on the door three long and four short times.
After a while, the door opened.
Ye Chutang took advantage of Nan Xiao entering the room, stepped forward, and followed him in.
Nan Xiao noticed someone behind him and attacked instinctively.
"It's me."
Ye Chutang spoke up in time and Nan Xiao stopped immediately.
He turned around and looked at Ye Chutang in shock, his face suddenly turning pale.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
Before he finished speaking, he pushed Ye Chutang.
“Go!”
Ye Chutang was caught off guard and was pushed, staggering. He had to step one foot out of the house before he could stand firm.
Suddenly, the clear and pleasant sound of a silver bell rang in my ears.
It was as if someone was wearing bell anklets and stepping on the ground to make beautiful notes.
Witch doctor A'man!
When this name appeared in Ye Chutang's mind, she immediately looked in the direction where the silver bell came from.
But Nan Xiao blocked her view and pushed her out of the door.
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut, blocking Ye Chutang from view.
"This is not the place for you, go!"
Nan Xiao's unhappy roar came from inside the door, revealing his unconcealable worry.
Ye Chutang knew that he was worried that the witch doctor would hurt her or put a curse on her, so he deliberately drove her away.
But now that she is here, she won't leave easily.
A faint groaning sound was heard.
She didn't want to make a big noise, so she didn't kick the door, but climbed over the wall to get in.
Nan Xiao blocked the door and was knocked away by the angry Ah Man.
Ye Chutang supported Nan Xiao's back in time to prevent him from falling down.
Nan Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood.
He quickly turned his head and looked at Ye Chutang, and almost vomited blood again.
"Ma'am, you...you shouldn't have come in."
