Along the way, they encountered far fewer suffering people.
The closer you get to the city lord's mansion, the fewer people there are; it seems everyone around is particularly worried about heading that way.
It's unclear whether it's because the city lord is seriously ill in the city lord's mansion that those people don't want to get close to that area.
"Sister, don't you think the area around the City Lord's Mansion looks strange?"
Why is this area so quiet, forming a stark contrast with other places?
“We’ve only seen this place a few people come here on our way.”
Xia Sen suddenly felt that something was very strange about the area, and he had a feeling that it was very dangerous.
The little princess chimed in, "Yes, I also think this area is really strange. Why is there hardly anyone here?"
"Is this place particularly dangerous? They don't dare to come here."
"Is it because the city lord is particularly domineering and violent that those people dare not come here?"
Xu Yuehuai was unaware of the situation here before, and now she was unable to answer them.
"When we finally get a good look at the city lord, we might find out the real reason."
After hearing this, the little princess and Xia Sen nodded.
They hurried towards the city lord's mansion, and then arrived outside the Chen lord's mansion.
They sent men off the carriage to knock on the door of the city lord's mansion.
"Is anyone here? We've come to treat the city lord's illness."
"Hurry up and send someone here! We have some really good doctors."
"After our doctors' treatment, your city lord's illness will surely improve soon."
"Someone come open the door right now!"
The servants of the city lord's mansion rushed over to open the door after hearing the sound.
They had closed the gates because the city lord was ill, not wanting the virus inside the city lord's mansion to spread outside.
The main problem was that the city lord's condition was extremely serious, and despite their immense efforts, they were unable to cure him.
Therefore, I am particularly worried that Chen's illness may affect other people, and if everyone in the group gets infected, that would be terrible.
"They're here, they're here. Which one of you is the doctor? Doctor, come in with me."
The servant quickly came over and waved to them, but they only opened the door a little bit, not the whole door.
"I am a doctor."
The Ghost Doctor stepped forward and then said to the group, "These are my apprentices and assistants."
The servants did not refuse them when they saw that the group of them wanted to come in together.
After all, they only wanted the doctor to come in, mainly because other people were less willing to come in.
"Okay, then you can all come in together."
Then they went into the city lord's mansion together.
In the city lord's mansion, following some servants, we walked around the courtyard for a long time before finally arriving at a particularly secluded place.
That place had a small thatched hut that looked completely different from other places; it was particularly dilapidated.
It seems to be drafty and is quite dilapidated.
Xu Yuehuai was somewhat surprised. Did their city lord really live in such a place?
The weather is rather cold these days, and I don't know if my condition will worsen if I just stay in this dilapidated thatched hut.
When the Ghost Doctor saw this, he said to them, "Isn't your city lord sick? Why are you putting him in a place like this?"
The servants quickly said, "This wasn't something we arranged on purpose; the group leader himself told us to do it this way."
"Hmm, what's the problem? Is your group admin experiencing a persistent fever?"
Even the Ghost Doctor found it a bit strange.
Upon hearing this, the men nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Our city lord has a fever, so he deliberately asked us to arrange such a well-ventilated place for him."
"The group leader has been in this room for a long time. Many doctors have come to treat him, but none of them have been effective, so he has not left."
"I just hope you really have the ability to heal the city lord, after all, the city lord is a good person."
The servants desperately wanted their city lord to return to normal. This group leader had been exceptionally kind to all of them, and if the city lord died, they didn't know if they would ever find such a good organization again.
Therefore, they all tried their best to find a doctor who could save the city lord as soon as possible.
However, despite bringing many doctors to the city lord's mansion over the past few days, none of them were able to cure the city lord.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to treat the city lord, then you won't have to worry so much."
"Hurry up and take us to see the city lord."
"The sooner the city lord and group leader are treated, the less pain they will suffer."
The ghost said to those frightening figures.
Upon hearing this, the men nodded and quickly led them toward the thatched hut.
When they arrived at the thatched hut, they went around the outer door and went inside.
They saw the seriously ill city lord, whose face was bluish-purple and looked very unwell. His breathing was very weak, as if he was about to die.
The city lord has been unable to get up for many days and can only lie in bed, unable to move.
Standing beside her was the city lord's wife, who also looked extremely haggard, as if she had aged considerably in just a few days.
The city lord's wife searched everywhere for renowned doctors but to no avail. When she saw Xu Yuehuai and his group, she felt as if she had found a lifeline.
"Are you doctors? Can you save the city lord?"
"If you can save my husband, you will be richly rewarded."
"That's what the lady pleaded."
Xu Yuehuai and the others originally came to the city lord's mansion to save the city lord, but now that they saw how polite the city lord's wife was, they were even more willing to save the city lord.
"Yes, Lady City Lord, please rest assured, we will definitely do our best to save the City Lord."
"You should wait here for a while. We need to give the city lord a thorough examination."
Xu Yuehuai and the others naturally did not refuse, and the Ghost Doctor immediately spoke to the City Lord's wife.
Upon hearing these words, the city lord's wife quickly nodded and immediately ran to the side to sit down quietly without disturbing them.
The Ghost Doctor then stepped forward and carefully examined the city lord's belongings. After that, his expression became serious.
"After careful diagnosis, I discovered that the city lord has been poisoned, and the poison is exactly the same as that inflicted on the common people."
"This poison is particularly difficult to cure. The group leader is already deeply poisoned. If there is no antidote, he probably won't live much longer."
"I hope you can be mentally prepared, because I may not be able to solve this puzzle."
The Ghost Doctor told them the truth.
When they learned about this, they had some suspicions, but they never expected it to actually happen.
