When Gu Sanniang heard this, she immediately said helplessly, “daughter, what do you think we should do then?”

After she finished speaking, she immediately felt itchy all over. She scratched her body unconsciously and said nervously, “daughter, why do I feel itchy all over?”

When Gu Sanniang said that, Ying Zi felt her entire body itching as well. She immediately widened her eyes, which were filled with fear and uneasiness.

She thought of what Lin Yuelan had said yesterday. The malignant sores would grow on the buttocks on the first day, then on the second day, they would grow all over the body, and on the third day, they would grow on the face. Then, they wouldn’t be able to hide it anymore.

Ying Zi was terrified.

She grabbed Gu Sanniang’s sleeve and said, “let’s go!”

Gu Sanniang was stunned. “Where to?” she asked, puzzled.

“Take your medicine, and we’ll find Doctor Zhang!” Ying Zi said with determination.

There wasn’t enough time to go to town. To prevent disfigurement, they had to rely on Doctor Zhang.

Gu Sanniang and Ying Zi hurriedly put on their clothes, took medicine from yesterday, and went to the west side of the village to find Doctor Zhang.

When they arrived, Xiao Tong told them that Doctor Zhang had gone up the mountain to pick herbs.

Ying Zi was shocked and started to feel uneasy.

She asked the child anxiously, “Xiao Tong, when will Doctor Zhang be back?”

Xiao Tong shook his head. “I don’t know. I think master will come back after he has picked all the herbs.” That was a non-answer. Who would know when that’d be?

Gu Sanniang asked anxiously, “Ying ‘Er, what should we do? What should we do?”

Ying Zi’s small face was also filled with uneasiness. She bit her lips and was angry. She thought to herself. ‘Do I really have to go to that bitch to beg her? No. I can’t do that!’

Ying Zi smiled at Xiao Tong and said, “I’ll go back with my mother first. When Doctor Zhang returns, can I trouble you to come and inform us?”

Xiao Tong thought for a while and nodded. “Okay, okay!”

Ying Zi thought for a while, then took the medicine bag from her mother. After opening it, she handed it to the child and asked, “Child, can you help me take a look at what medicine is in here?”

After all, Xiao Tong grew up by Doctor Zhang’s side, so he was familiar with some medicines.

He picked up the medicinal herbs in the medicine bag, put them under his nose, and sniffed. Then, he said, “this is the prescription for treating sores!”

Ying Zi was shocked. She asked anxiously, “Xiao Tong, are you sure?”

Xiao Tong’s cheeks puffed up from being questioned by Ying Zi. He said angrily, “Hmph, since you don’t believe me, then please go back. When my master comes back, he’ll be able to tell you for us.” Then, he slammed the door shut.

Ying Zi and Gu Sanniang looked at the tightly shut door. They were so angry that their faces turned green.

However, at this moment, it wasn’t appropriate for them to argue with Xiao Tong because they couldn’t afford to offend him, and they had a favor to ask of him.

As soon as Xiao Tong closed the door, he immediately ran into the hall and said happily to the people sitting in the hall, “sister Lan, how was it? Did I do well?” As he spoke, he stared at Lin Yuelan with bright eyes.

Lin Yuelan smiled and nodded. “Yes, you did well. I’ll make you your favorite sweet osmanthus cake today. ”

Xiao Tong immediately said in high spirits, “really? Then I want one at least this big!” Xiao Tong drew a big circle with his hand.

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “alright, I’ll make it as large as you want!”

As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, she heard a cold snort.

“Hmph, you have forgotten about your grandmaster so easily!” Doctor Zhang said unhappily, “You’re making his favorite food, but you’re not making mine? I helped you to lie to that mother and daughter too.”

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “yes, thank you, Grandmaster! Don’t worry. I’ll definitely cook you a big pot of pig’s trotters and let you eat to your heart’s content!”

Doctor Zhang was satisfied, but he glared at Xiao Tong.

A moment later, Lin Yuelan said to Doctor Zhang, “Grandmaster, I’ll have to trouble you some more.”

Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and said sternly, “Ying Zi is too black-hearted for her age. She needs to be taught a lesson.”

Ying Zi and her mother hid at home for the entire morning. In the afternoon, they came out to find Doctor Zhang again. They were wrapped up tightly.

Doctor Zhang checked the mother and daughter’s pulse through a layer of gauze. Finally, he said, “You don’t have sores. Instead, you’ve been poisoned!”

The mother-daughter pair looked at each other and shouted in disbelief, “what?!”
