The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 756 Who harmed you?

She told Xiao Jiu her request: "I'm looking for someone, a man in his early twenties, very good-looking. We were originally traveling together, but we got separated when we arrived at Chiyun City. I don't know if he has entered the city, can you help me find out?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jiu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked after a while: "Then, is that man your husband?"

Ye Wenyan thought about it and nodded, "He is a fiancé, so he should also be considered a husband!"

"You have a fiancé at such a young age? It's really early for your family to arrange a marriage for you. Okay, I'll go out and find out for you. No matter if there is any news or not, I will be back before dark, so that you don't get scared alone." He stood up and went to the window to bring the dried water. "Drink some water first. I'll go see if I can buy some food from other families. We have to eat too!" After he said that, he stood up again, said hello to Ye Wenyan, turned around and walked out.

Ye Wenyan drank a few sips of water, but she didn't feel any better. She knew she wouldn't get better, because this wasn't an illness at all, how could it be cured by just resting? Lying down only helped her relieve fatigue, not the root cause.

She didn't have much hope that Xiao Jiu would go find Shi Liyuan, but she had no other choice but to try her luck. After Xiao Jiu left, she stood up on the bed. Her weight was already very light, but the wooden board still creaked under her feet, as if it couldn't bear her weight.

Ye Wenyan knew that this was due to disrepair, so he wondered if the original owner of this house was too poor or too lazy? He didn't even replace the bed with a thicker one. If the bed collapsed when sleeping, it would be very dangerous if he fell.

She didn't dare to stand there any longer, so she went downstairs to look through the closet, and after carefully looking at the several sets of old clothes in the closet, she concluded again that this house must have been occupied by an old couple. Because the clothes were all very torn and had patches, there were both men's and women's clothes, not very big, the size that only the elderly could have. She sniffed the clothes again, but unfortunately her sense of smell was not working well, and she could no longer smell anything.

Young people would not live in such a house, nor would they wear such clothes. Although Chiyun City is not as good as Lin'an City, it is also a wealthy place. As long as young people have hands and feet, they will not let themselves be so poor. Those who can live like this are mostly because they have no one to rely on in their old age, and they are sick all year round, and it is difficult for them to survive, so they don't care about repairing the house and wearing good clothes.

There was also a bundle in the room, which contained neat and tidy men's clothes for young people, and the material was very good. She shook out the clothes and looked at the size and length, judging that it should be Xiao Jiu's. It seemed that only this bundle belonged to Xiao Jiu, but I didn't know if he had ever met the original owner of this small courtyard. Did the original owner leave after he came, or did he move in because the original owner left and the place was empty.

She analyzed that Xiao Jiu looked so clean, and if he had no other choice, he would not have chosen such a small, shabby yard to live in. It seemed that the heavy snowstorm had left him no choice but to live wherever he could.

She absolutely did not believe what Xiao Jiu said about grandpa and grandma. Xiao Jiu should have no relationship with the original owner of this place. In this case, Xiao Jiu's identity was very suspicious. Who was he? Where did he come from?

When Xiao Jiu came back just after dark, he was hit by a snowstorm as soon as he opened the door. The snow seemed to be heavier than during the day.

He shook off the snow on his body, and then said to Ye Wenyan with an apologetic look: "Yaoyao, I'm so sorry, I went out to ask around, but I didn't find out anything. There are indeed many refugees in Chiyun City recently, but there is no such good-looking man as you said. I even went to the government office to see that all the outsiders live there, and there is really no one who looks too good. But don't worry, I will continue to ask around tomorrow, and maybe there will be news."

Although she didn't hold out much hope that he would be able to get the news, Ye Wenyan still felt a little disappointed. She said thank you perfunctorily, and then said to Xiao Jiu, "No need for tomorrow. I'm going to leave the city tomorrow and take a look at Haixian Town." Her and Shi Liyuan's goal was both Wu'an Sea, so once the two of them separated, the best way would be to go to Wu'an Sea together. Maybe they would meet there.

When Xiao Jiu heard that she was going to Haixian Town, he immediately said that he could go with her without saying a word.

Ye Wenyan glanced at him and asked, "Don't you have your own things to do? Why do you always accompany me?"

Xiao Jiu scratched his head in embarrassment. "I really have nothing to do. What can I do in this blizzard? This house is empty, and it's not much warmer than outside. I'm afraid I'll freeze to death when I sleep. I might as well go to Haixian Town with you. If you're not feeling well, I can protect you or carry you on my back."

Ye Wenyan increasingly felt that her initial definition of Xiao Jiu as "very silly and naive" was wrong. This guy was not silly at all, let alone naive. He was using a kind and innocent appearance to cover up his true heart. It was just that she had no idea what was in his true heart. However, since this person had come to her, it should not be without reason. If she wanted to know the truth and expose his true face, she had to continue to stay with him, so that she would have a chance.

So she nodded and said, "Thank you very much. I do need someone to take care of me."

Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Jiu was very happy and said to her, "There is no need to leave in a hurry. I will ask a doctor to check your health tomorrow morning. We have to make sure that your body can hold on before we set off. It's okay for me to carry you on my back, but if you can't hold on and something happens on the way, that would be bad." After he finished speaking, he took out a roasted sweet potato from his arms and said, "I can't find anything else to eat, so this is the only one. It smells delicious to me. You can make do with it. After seeing the doctor tomorrow, we'll see if there are any open restaurants."

Ye Wenyan did not refute him. He took the roasted sweet potato, took a bite, thought about it, and gave half to Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu smiled and said that he had already eaten. There were originally two sweet potatoes, and they each had one. The half that was divided returned to Ye Wenyan, but she knew that Xiao Jiu had not eaten anything at all. But she still couldn't figure out why this person said that he had eaten. Was he trying to show his kindness to her? Was he trying to get her to eat more? Was this considered caring?

She thought, there is no love without reason in this world, this kind of concern might be poisoning. But this person must not know that even if her spiritual power is completely lost and she is half dead, she is still immune to all poisons and no one can harm her.

After eating the sweet potatoes, she fell asleep again. Xiao Jiu sat beside her for a while, listening to her breathing becoming even before leaving.

I slept till dawn. Although it was a light sleep, lying down was more comfortable than sitting or standing. When I woke up the next day, I felt better than the night before and I felt a little stronger.

Xiao Jiu asked for a doctor, and he actually did. The old doctor was very reluctant to go out in this weather, but Xiao Jiu didn't know what method he used to make him come. Ye Wenyan didn't ask, and honestly handed his wrist to the old doctor to check his pulse.

The old doctor was not vague. He pinched her wrist for a while, then looked at her with a puzzled look. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Miss, have you been harmed by someone? Were you poisoned or took some medicine? It's as if at least ten years of vitality have been taken away from your body. It's all supported by your will. Who is so vicious?"

Ye Wenyan was very surprised. He didn't expect that an old doctor in a border city could make such an accurate diagnosis.

Xiao Jiu was also surprised. His eyes widened as he looked at Ye Wenyan in disbelief. He stretched out one hand as if he wanted to grab her, but stopped halfway, as if he didn't dare to grab her. Finally, the hand fell on the old doctor's shoulder. He spoke with difficulty and asked awkwardly, "Are you serious? You are a doctor, you can't just say something you don't want to say."

The old doctor glanced at him and snorted, "I have been following my master to see patients since I was eight years old. I am fifty-eight this year. I have seen more patients than you have seen living people. How could I make a wrong diagnosis? Although I have never actually encountered such a thing as the loss of vitality, the ancient medical book left by my master describes the pulse condition that would be displayed in this case. I remember it clearly, and I can't be wrong."

Xiao Jiu clenched his fists, as if trying to suppress his anger, and asked the old doctor in a calm voice, "Can it be cured?"

The old doctor shook his head. "This is not a disease, how can it be cured? Her vitality has been taken away by someone. Even if we find the person who took her vitality, it is impossible to return it. This kind of thing is irreversible. Once it's gone, it's gone. It can't be brought back."

"Gone, gone?" Xiao Jiu was a little anxious. "A person can only live for 60 years. She lost 10 years? Then she only has 50 years left to live? Why?" He shouted at the old doctor, but after shouting, he knew that the old doctor could not give him any answer, so he asked Ye Wenyan, "Yaoyao, who hurt you? Tell me."

But what would Ye Wenyan say? She said that no one harmed me and I sacrificed myself? Who would believe that? Besides, even if someone believed it, why would she tell such a thing to a stranger?

So she shook her head and reminded Xiao Jiu: "You and I just met by chance. Even if we are friends, we have only been friends for less than two days, so there is no need for you to ask about everything, and there is no need to act so anxious. As for how many years I can live, that is my business."

"You..." Xiao Jiu was obviously angry, and even looked like he was going to scold her. He just opened his mouth, but in the end, no one swore. He just sighed heavily and said, "Forget it. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. It's me who is meddling in other people's business and I take myself too seriously." He took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the old doctor, "Thank you for making this trip. Since you can't cure it, please go back! This is the consultation fee. After you receive the silver, forget about it and don't mention it to anyone again. Just pretend you haven't seen us."
