Early in the morning, Shen Zhi asked the three little ones at home to call Qin Jiuan to come for dinner.
However, when they ran over, they found that Qin Jiuan was not at home at all.
"He's not home so early? Didn't he go back last night?" Shen Zhi wondered.
"Mother, we've looked everywhere, but Brother Nine isn't here. Did he go out to play?"
During the New Year holidays, if the weather is not particularly cold, many people will go out and play.
But these two days it has been windy and snowy, and there are almost no people on the streets.
Shen Zhi frowned, "Where can we go?"
Unable to think of anything, she gave up and said, "Then call him over in the evening."
"hold head high!"
However, Qin Jiuan didn't come back until evening.
Shen Zhi was a little restless. Could it be that he went to find Lan Yue?
But looking at how timid he was, it seemed like he didn't have the courage at all.
Shen Zhi was really worried, so she followed Chu Changfeng to the Lan family.
Qin Jiuan is still not here.
Lan Yue: "What are you looking for him for? Isn't he at home?"
Shen Zhi: "He was gone all day today. I don't know where he went. It's so cold, and he only has one arm. What if something happens to him?"
Lan Yue clenched her fists tightly, "Then... where can we go?"
"We don't know either."
On the other side, Qin Jiuan spent most of the day and finally found out the witch doctor's residence.
But he didn't live in the city. He lived on the grassland not far from Beiyang, in a sheepskin tent. This kind of tent is not particularly cold to live in.
Qin Jiuan walked the entire way, walking in the wind and snow for most of the day, until night fell, when he finally found the tent.
The witch doctor was the only one in the tent.
The sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent scared him to death.
He didn't open the tent until he heard someone calling him outside.
Looking at the young man outside, who was covered in snow and almost frozen into a lump of ice, he was stunned.
"This is... come in quickly!"
He didn't have time to ask any more questions and immediately pulled the person into the tent.
It is not easy to find a tent on the grassland. If there is no one to lead you, it is easy to get lost. Qin Jiuan went in the wrong direction several times and was shivering with cold.
It looked like he only had one arm. The witch doctor couldn't bear to see him. "It's New Year's Day. Why are you out here alone? There's not many people around here."
The witch doctor quickly boiled some hot water for him to drink.
Qin Jiuan's lips were a little blue from the cold, and he was still shivering, and his hand holding the cup was also shaking.
The witch doctor sighed and couldn't bear to watch.
After an unknown amount of time, but after drinking two cups of hot water and sitting by the fire for a while, Qin Jiuan finally warmed up.
Except for the snow that I shook off, almost all of it had melted.
"Are you...are you a witch doctor?" he asked.
The witch doctor nodded, "But what is the disease? But... I live so far away, you don't have to come to me, the old doctor in the Chu family pharmacy in the city is very skilled, you can go to him."
Qin Jiuan shook his head, "I want to ask the divine doctor to cure the disease, but he can't cure it either."
The witch doctor pursed his lips and said, "If he can't cure it, there's nothing I can do."
He is not someone who can cure the plague, and this young boy thinks too highly of him.
Qin Jiuan: "It's a scar. The old doctor said it was caused by a bite from a black-feathered unicorn. The scar is black and he said it can't be removed. That's why I wanted to come and find you."
The witch doctor listened and frowned, "This..."
"Witch doctor, I heard that you can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Have you never removed scars?"
The witch doctor hesitated for a long time before saying, "Scars from poisonous insect bites are almost impossible to remove, but... I haven't treated them before, so you can try the same scar removal method I used before."
Qin Jiuan was overjoyed, "Thank you! Thank you!"
The old doctor shook his head. "Now is not the time to be happy. Whether it works or not is not the point. The scar removal ointment still needs many kinds of medicinal materials, and I can't find them now."
The smile on Qin Jiuan's face froze for a moment, and then he said: "It's okay, there's some in the pharmacy! I'll go buy some tomorrow!"
"There is a kind of medicinal herb that is not available anywhere. The ones available in the pharmacy are all regular medicinal herbs. The kind I want has to be picked from the mountains dozens of kilometers away."
The witch doctor sighed, "It's snowing heavily now, and the mountain over there is full of strange rocks, making it difficult to climb. I'll go look for it when the weather is better."
Qin Jiuan pursed his lips and said, "It's snowing now, can't you find it? There's not much snow on that mountain. You can tell me what the medicinal herbs look like and I'll go find them!"
The witch doctor stared at his right hand, his face darkening, "Are you going to die? Not to mention in winter, even in summer, I wouldn't dare let you go with your hand. You'll fall if you're not careful."
"No, I'm a good climber and I usually exercise my hands and feet. Even though I only have one arm, it's no different from other people."
"no!"
The witch doctor refused to give in, and Qin Jiuan begged him for a long time, but he still refused to give in.
Qin Jiuan had no choice but to wait here.
Three days later, the New Year was over, the city became more and more lively, and people gradually appeared on the nearby grasslands.
And the snow on the ground began to melt.
On the morning of the sixth day, the sun even came out brightly.
Qin Jiuan has been out for many days. Now that the sun is out, he can't sit still.
"Witch doctor, can we pick the herbs now? I think the snow on that mountain has almost melted."
He wanted to go pick herbs as soon as possible, but he was not sure which day the weather would be good, so he shamelessly stayed here.
I know he is anxious every day.
The witch doctor clicked his tongue, "It's just a scar treatment, it's not a serious illness. He's almost dying, and you're worried about him. You can't give up your life just to treat a scar, right?"
He said this kind of words every day, but Qin Jiuan turned a deaf ear to him every time.
Knowing that he wouldn't listen, the witch doctor waited until after noon and watched the snow fade away from afar to reveal the original color of the mountain. He changed his clothes, straightened his cuffs and trouser legs, and set off with Qin Jiuan.
He originally didn't want to take his crippled little one-handed kid with him to look for medicinal herbs? He might not even be able to climb up.
But his eyes were too earnest and kept following him, so the witch doctor couldn't refuse him at all.
Five days later.
The Chu family was in a very low mood.
They have been looking for Qin Jiuan for almost ten days, but it was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth and they couldn't find him no matter how hard they tried.
They had already treated him as a family member, and now that he had suddenly disappeared, the little ones in the family had cried several times.
"Where did he go? Did something really happen to him?" Lin Zheng didn't dare to think about it. Qin Jiuan only had one hand. If someone broke into the house to rob or steal things, he would not be able to resist at all.
They wondered if someone had taken him from the house.
Otherwise, why would he suddenly disappear?
