Chapter 846: Chapter 848: News of Divine Doctor Xue at Last
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao say she was going to find Divine Doctor Xue, Shitou’s mother quickly looked up and instinctively retorted, "Divine Doctor Xue?"
"Sister-in-law, do you know Divine Doctor Xue?" Xiaoxiao was surprised by Shitou’s mother’s reaction, and at the same time, she felt a glimmer of hope. How could she have forgotten to ask this sister-in-law about Divine Doctor Xue? She was truly confused by the actions of these villagers.
Shitou’s mother nodded slightly and spoke calmly, "Well, I’ve heard a bit about Divine Doctor Xue, but I’m not sure if the information is accurate. After all, this is a remote area, and whatever happens outside might have changed by the time it reaches us."
Shitou’s mother’s words excited Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming immensely. This was the first time they had heard anything about Divine Doctor Xue.
They had traveled a long way and passed through several villages, yet no one knew anything about Divine Doctor Xue. If not for Medicine King Valley confirming his existence, Xiaoxiao would almost doubt that Divine Doctor Xue didn’t exist at all.
Although Shitou’s mother said the information might not be accurate, to Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming, it was incredibly good news. Xiaoxiao was thrilled and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, it doesn’t matter if it’s not accurate. We haven’t found even a trace of information throughout our search. Sister-in-law, to be honest, my son is very ill, and only Divine Doctor Xue can cure him, which is why we have come this way."
Xiaoxiao’s words were urgent, and Shitou’s mother could tell there was no mother who wouldn’t worry about her child, so she nodded in agreement, "That’s fine."
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Xiaoxiao said promptly in gratitude.
"This is also what I’ve heard, from eight or nine months ago. Divine Doctor Xue went up the mountain to gather herbs, accidentally fell down, and was rescued by a girl from Anyi Village. The girl helped him down the mountain and was seen by her fiancé’s family, who said she was shameless and getting too familiar with another man, leading to the engagement being called off, which was not a good thing. No girl can accept that, including her, so she was despondent and wanted to hang herself, but Divine Doctor Xue stopped her. Divine Doctor Xue even promised to marry her. I’m not sure if this is true, but you could go to Anyi Village to inquire; maybe you can find out Divine Doctor Xue’s whereabouts."
Upon hearing this news, Xiaoxiao was absolutely thrilled. She initially thought the sister-in-law would only have a little information, but she hadn’t expected such detailed words, even with a place name. This way, they could go and ask, perhaps they could find Divine Doctor Xue. "Thank you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, how do we get to Anyi Village, is it far from here?"
"Anyi Village is even more remote than here, surrounded by mountains. Head south, you’ll probably pass through about a dozen villages."
Although it was unclear how Shitou’s mother heard such distant news, Xiaoxiao deeply believed in her words. As long as they went to Anyi Village, there was hope. She excitedly looked at Yang Ming, "Husband, let’s hurry to Anyi Village."
"Okay." Yang Ming was also excited about this news; heaven didn’t disappoint those who kept their efforts, finally receiving information.
"Sister-in-law, we’ll be leaving then." Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Shitou’s mother and Little Shitou, then climbed onto the carriage with her child.
Yang Ming also jumped up to the driver’s seat, intending to drive away, but suddenly noticed something was amiss.
A large crowd of people suddenly appeared on the road, heading toward them. Yang Ming hadn’t had time to react when these people surrounded their carriage layer upon layer, "You are not allowed to leave."
