After spending a night in fear, Wan Ning leaned against a tree trunk and barely closed her eyes for a while. She suddenly opened her eyes and immediately stood up by holding a pole beside her. She didn't feel at ease until she saw Doctor Hu still lying there snoring peacefully.

"Fortunately, you didn't sneak away." Wan Ning felt a little relieved and grabbed his arm to wake him up. Doctor Hu was sleepy, hummed twice, and turned his back to her.

"Doctor Hu has sent people to arrest you!" Wan Ning whispered in his ear mischievously.

This small sentence was like a thunderclap in Hu Youyi's brain. He immediately sat up, and his messy hair was like a sword piercing his brain. Wan Ning pressed his hair down, looked at his angry expression and said, "No, the prince and princess of Tumo are leaving today. We should go and wait for them on the road they must pass by, otherwise we will miss the trip."

Doctor Hu slid down the shop with his butt sticking out. Halfway through, he came to his senses and turned around to ask, "How do you know Doctor Hu?"

Wan Ning had already stuffed all the remaining things on her body and threw the eye-catching package by the river, creating the illusion of contentment. The coarse cloth clothes on her body were almost tasseled, and her face was covered with dust. The only thing that remained unchanged was the enthusiasm and drive in her eyes.

"Hey, you said that your master taught you and your junior brother the antidote to Huitouwu. I happened to have heard Doctor Hu's disciples mention Huitouwu. What's more, you both have the last name Hu and are both miraculous doctors."

Doctor Hu picked up his things and hurried after him, correcting him in a vexed but not angry way: "Don't do that. I'm the only genius doctor among Master's disciples. He's just an imperial physician, and I look down on him. When the Emperor personally came to invite me, I didn't even look at him straight in the eye. Otherwise, how could he, a half-baked one, be the chief imperial physician? I tell you, his level is not even a fraction of mine!"

The two of them walked and talked, unconsciously quickening their pace. Wan Ning turned her head from time to time to look at him and agreed, "Hey, hey, empty words are not enough. Whoever can cure Wan Tao's Huihui Wudu is the real miracle doctor!"

At this point, Doctor Hu was so anxious that he could only scratch his head. He walked forward angrily, and suddenly turned back and asked, "Let's go find Miss Wan Tao right away and show you my strength."

"Do you know where she is?" Wan Ning asked.

Doctor Hu showed a mysterious smile on his face and started to brag: "I don't know."

Wan Ning was expecting a satisfactory answer, but was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water. She almost wanted to hit someone: "I don't know why you are so cocky."

"Although I don't know where he is, I met an old man when I passed by a vegetable field yesterday."

“Oh, I’m planting vegetables.”

"Not very good, just had a chat with the old man."

"At this age, people just love to chat. What did you talk about?"

"The old man said that the Ma Er family in the village recently had a daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law had a strange disease and was looking for a doctor to treat her. He asked me if I could go."

"Hey, can you go? What does this have to do with Wan Tao?"

"Don't worry, he said that the daughter-in-law is slim, well-educated, but extremely ugly. His description is consistent with the symptoms of back black disease, so I guess it is most likely Miss Wan Tao."

"Then what are you waiting for? Why did you say it just now?" Wan Ning grabbed Doctor Hu's arm and walked forward quickly.

Doctor Hu was frightened by her impetuous attitude and quickly explained: "Don't worry, the person is still here, he won't be lost! The situation wasn't critical yesterday, so I forgot about it for a moment, but I promised them that I would give it to Qiaoqiao today. You just need to wait by my side later, but don't get excited. Remember!"

Wan Ning said she remembered it, but in fact, she had seen too many news reports about women and children being trafficked in the news in today's society. Especially when she was young, there was a TV program during lunch that loved to broadcast news about criminal cases. Sometimes, they would broadcast the experiences of these abductees. Some of them were locked in caves, tied up with iron chains, and even often beaten and starved. She still remembers that when some of them were rescued, their eyes were dull and their expressions were wooden and terrified.

From then on, every time she went out, her grandmother would remind her to be careful and to be more cautious in everything. Now she didn't dare to think about how much she would hate herself if Wan Tao encountered such a thing, because she was the one who implicated her.

Thinking of this, she wished she could fly to Wan Tao immediately, and without caring about the time when Prince Tu Mo would leave the city, she grabbed Doctor Hu and urged him to lead the way.

After many twists and turns, we finally found a farmyard. In summer, the sun rises early, and farmers usually get up early to work before the heat rises, and then go to eat! But strangely, the door of this farmyard was closed, and there was no smoke rising.

Wan Ning and Hu Youyi exchanged a glance, and Wan Ning hid aside and instructed Hu Youyi to knock on the door. He received the order, swallowed his saliva, raised his magical hand that looked like a "roll-up banner", walked to the door and knocked three times.

"Who?" A strong male voice came from the room.

"I met an old man yesterday who told me that there was a patient in your family who needed a doctor, and asked me to come and see him when I am free. Is it convenient for you to watch over the door?" asked Doctor Hu.

The person inside was a little impatient and urged through the door: "No, no, no, you've got the wrong address."

It seemed that the person inside was unwilling to open the door, which was even more strange. Wan Ning gave a look, asking Doctor Hu to continue knocking on the door until he was forced out.

Doctor Hu had no choice but to continue selling, "You're right. Isn't this Ma Er's house? You're not sick. It's just that your new wife has some problems. You don't open the door. Are you worried that I'm a liar? Don't worry. I'm honest and fair to everyone. If I can't cure you, I won't charge you. If I make it worse, I'll pay you. No, I'm a miracle doctor who can cure any disease. I will never make it worse. Otherwise, open the door and let me take a look."

The person inside was getting more impatient, and his voice became higher, which made him more suspicious. Wan Ning took off the hairpin from her head and hid it in her hand, signaling him to continue knocking on the door with her eyes. Doctor Hu had no choice but to do as he was told: "Look, I'm here now, so at least let me see the patient before I leave? After all, I've come such a long way to see you. If you don't want me to see the patient, you have to pay for it. Even if you don't want to pay, at least let me drink some water before I leave, right..."

Perhaps he was tired of being told off, and was worried that if he continued like this, he would be discovered by others, which would increase the risk. So, the person inside opened the door a crack, stretched out his arm and handed a few copper coins to Doctor Hu. Doctor Hu was also smart, pretending that he didn't hold it firmly, and dropped all the copper coins on the ground!

Doctor Hu quickly squatted on the ground to pick it up, and said with a shameless smile: "I'm old. Look at me, I can't even hold it. Please forgive me."

Although the man was unhappy, he didn't say anything, so he supported himself with one hand against the wall and the other hand against the door, standing in the middle and anxiously watching Doctor Hu pick up the things slowly.

At this time, Wan Ning, who was hiding on the side, seized the opportunity, stepped forward with one foot, held the hairpin against his throat with his right hand, and blocked his way with the other hand. Standing behind the man, he whispered:

"If you don't want to die, don't make a sound!"
