The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

Chapter 411: Three Little Black Eggs (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ah Wei spoke casually.

The old man could only find the main point in his words himself. Coupled with his deduction, he had a rough idea of what had happened—Yan Jiuchao had been poisoned by the poison curse and the Fragrance of Hundred Miles. The two poisons restrained each other and had been peaceful all these years. However, the poison curse had been resolved not long ago, and the poison of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles had completely erupted.

The old man knew better than Ah Wei why the poison curse was cured.

If the first time was an illusion, then after interacting with Yu Wan so many times, his senses would not be wrong. Coupled with the fact that they had resolved the Southern Xinjiang poison curse, the old man was almost certain that the Gu King in Yu Wan’s hand was the holy artifact they had given to Nanzhao as a betrothal gift.

Therefore, fate was really a strange thing. In order to obtain the holy artifact, the Nanzhao Royal Family did not hesitate to sell the Eldest Princess. In the end, the holy artifact actually fell into the hands of the Eldest Princess’s daughter.

Perhaps this was the retribution of the heavens. The old man suddenly wanted to see the expressions of those guys after learning the truth.

“Grandma, are you listening to me?” Ah Wei asked him.

The old man did not answer him. Instead, he called Qing Yan over.

“Grandma, you called me.” Qing Yan entered the house.

The old man asked him, “How much money did we earn?”

Qing Yan thought for a while and said, “Fifty taels.”

Ah Wei earned thirty taels, and the remaining twenty taels were earned by the three of them. Their monthly salary was three taels, Ah Wei’s monthly salary was ten taels. They did part-time mining too (Ah Wei dug the most).

Qing Yan said, “Grandma, we can earn a hundred taels in two months. That should be enough for us to go home.”

The old man said, “No need. I’ve thought of a better way.”

Fifteen minutes later, Yu Wan was invited over by Ah Wei.

Ah Wei’s family worked for the Yu family. The old man was a teacher from the village school, Ah Wei was the master of the little black eggs, Qing Yan was the accountant, and Yue Gou was a little expert at mining. Yu Wan trusted this family very much, so she came without asking why Ah Wei invited her.

She never expected that the first thing the old man would say to her was, “The poison of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles is not so easy to detoxify.”

Yu Wan was stunned and looked at the four of them strangely.

Ah Wei said seriously, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. You guys are too loud!”

Therefore, Shadow Thirteen’s vigilance was not unreasonable. It was not only her sons who appeared outside the house, but also Ah Wei. However, the other party was so honest that Yu Wan did not know what to say.

The old man’s expression did not change as he said, “To be honest, we’re not from the Central Plains. We infiltrated the Central Plains because we had a mission. Please forgive me for not being able to reveal what mission it is. I know how to detoxify the Fragrance of Hundred Miles. If you don’t mind, I can help you, but I need a reward.”

Yu Wan had long seen that this family was not simple, but they were all good people, so Yu Wan, like Yan Jiuchao, did not mind their background. Compared to the shock brought by their honesty, Yu Wan was even more stunned by the last two sentences. “Can you really detoxify the Fragrance of Hundred Miles?”

The old man said seriously, “I can’t detoxify it, but I know how to solve it. Your prescription might be right, but the prescription isn’t the only one for Fragrance of Hundred Miles. It needs a medicinal primer.”

No wonder Lady Wan of Bright Deportment had obtained the prescription from that group of people so easily. It turned out that the other party knew that it was useless even if she took the prescription.

Yu Wan gathered her thoughts. “May I know what kind of medicinal primer you need?”

The old man said indifferently, “There’s no harm in telling you. Saintess’ blood, Sorcerer King’s tears, Fire Lingzhi, Snow Toad.”

Yu Wan muttered, “It’s really these few things?”

The old man frowned. “You’ve heard of it? This is a secret of the Ghost Clan of Southern Xinjiang.”

Yu Wan held her chin and said, “It’s spread throughout the teahouse.”

The old man, who still wanted to show off: “…”

Yu Wan thought of something and frowned. “However, I heard that the first two can’t be found anymore.”

The old man who wanted to fool her: “…”

Why did this girl know everything? Was it so difficult to lie these days?! The old man took a deep breath and said earnestly, “Everything depends on the person. If we don’t look for it, how do we know that we won’t be able to find it? Perhaps you really have such an opportunity.”

These words almost touched Yu Wan’s heart. That’s right, how would she know if she didn’t try? Even if she really couldn’t find it, there was no worse outcome. Yu Wan felt her confidence was unprecedentedly encouraged. She looked at the old man and said sincerely, “Grandpa, you’re the best!”

The little girl was so gullible. The old man was secretly happy, but his face was calm. “These things are all in Southern Xinjiang. We need to go to Southern Xinjiang.”

Yu Wan sized him up. “Are you going personally?”

“Of course.” How could he go home if he didn’t go? The old man said, “The terrain of Southern Xinjiang is complicated. I have to bring you there personally to find it. Other than that, we need two things in case of emergencies. One is the Worryfree Grass in an extremely cold place, and the other is the sulfur firestone at the peak of extreme flames. These two things aren’t difficult to find. Your husband’s two guards can take on this big responsibility.” I was too smart to send Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six away in one go!

Yu Wan felt that it was feasible.

The old man asked Yu Wan for a thousand taels of silver as remuneration. She would pay after the job was done. If she could not find the four herbs, he would not take a single cent.

One had to know that back then, the Southern Xinjiang Gu Master had offered a hundred thousand gold in one go. They had even paid fifty thousand gold before he treated the illness. However, Ah Wei’s family would accompany her across the mountains and rivers without charging a single copper coin. They were simply too kind.

If it were anyone else, Yu Wan would have suspected that they had ulterior motives. However, Ah Wei and his family were all good people. They must really want to help her!

The old man: You’re thinking too much. We just want to freeload some money and kidnap you to the Ghost Clan. Then your mother will be ours…

“Alright, it’s decided. I’ll go back and discuss the date of departure with my husband.” With that, Yu Wan turned around and left the room.

Qing Yan asked in confusion, “Grandma, are we really going to help them find the herbs?”

The old man said, “Anyway, we’ll pass by Nanzhao on the way back to the clan. We’ll also find the Fire Lingzhi and the Snow Toad for them. When we find these two things, they’ll definitely believe us even more firmly. At that time, we’ll say that the inheritance of the Saintess and the Sorcerer is in the Ghost Clan. They’ll definitely follow us without hesitation.”

Qing Yan clapped. “Wonderful, really wonderful!”

That night, Yu Wan came again and told them that the day of departure had been decided. It was in three days. The few of them hurriedly began to pack their things.

The old man stopped Ah Wei. “You don’t have to pack. You stay.”

Ah Wei was puzzled. “Why?”

The old man said, “Guard the house.”

Ah Wei was speechless.
