And the man came out from the stone statue.

How can a normal person do this? Only a true god can do this.

"Apart from these, did you see anything else?" Shan Li continued to maintain his patience.

"This..." The little boy scratched his hair, trying hard to recall the scene he saw that day.

But I couldn't remember it no matter how hard I tried.

“It doesn’t have to be what you see, what you hear, or what you smell.”

Shan Li continued to guide him.

Children generally do not lie, but they may mix up some memories.

"That's right! I remember now! It smells like meat!"

The little boy couldn't eat a proper meat meal for many years. But what child doesn't crave meat?

"What's that meaty smell?!"

"It was the smell of roasted meat. Even though it was only for a brief moment, I really smelled it. It appeared together with the land god."

"When he's gone, the smell of meat is gone."

The little boy was very sure.

Shan Li thought of something. He stood up and touched the top of the little boy's head. "You did a great job. Thank you for the clue. This is for you. It's a reward for you."

As he said this, he took out a large piece of silver from his pocket.

It weighs about a few taels.

I could have given him more, but thinking about his family's current situation, giving him too much would only bring disaster.

This is great. Once things are settled, it won’t be too late to find an opportunity to repay you.

Shan Li ordered someone to send him back safely.

Then he and Zhang Quanhe came to the back court together and said directly, "Now the people in Jingzhao Prefecture should put aside their current work and focus on guarding the major drug stores and clinics. Those hiding in the dark should be monitored by more people."

Zhang Quanhe was puzzled, "Why is this?"

"That person was injured, and it should be a very troublesome burn. Even if ordinary people have medicine to treat burns at home, they probably don't have much in stock. Burns are not a disease that can be healed in a few days."

Zhang Quanhe wondered if he was too old and why he couldn't understand what was being said.

Seeing the suspicious look on his face, Shan Li explained, "The child said he smelled the smell of roasted meat. Lord Zhang, near the land temple, not many people would even cook and eat, let alone roast meat. But when someone appeared in the land temple, he smelled meat. That can only mean that the person was actually burned by the fire."

"We have all fallen into a misunderstanding. We always think that the person who deliberately set the fire will definitely ensure his own safety. However, there is a word in this world called accident."

"He must have encountered an accident while escaping, so he was burned."

"According to what the kid said, he could smell it from such a distance, so he must be seriously injured."

"So, now all major drugstores and clinics must be checked. I'll ask Doctor Xiao for a list later. Anyone who has recently purchased a large amount of the herbs on the list will be under close observation."

After listening to this, Zhang Quanhe understood what he should do next.

Shan Li's analysis was not wrong. On the contrary, he really found the right path.

In a private house far away from the land temple, the entire back room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

"Your injury is too severe. If we can't find enough medicinal herbs, the consequences will be very serious."

The person on the bed was lying on his stomach, with his entire back exposed.

Unfortunately, it was not the white skin of a normal person, but a red and yellow rotten color. The person who saw it frowned.
