Bai Zhi asked: “When the little boy coughs, is there a crackling sound? Is his sputum yellow in color? Does he have other symptoms like fever and dry mouth?”

Doctor Song was shocked, but then he nodded quickly: “Yes, there are these symptoms. He is also restless and always crying. How did miss know this?”

Bai Zhi only guessed inside her heart. She smiled and said: “Children are afraid to take medicine. This is normal. When I was a child, I also hate to drink medicine. At that time, my niang will give me a bowl of pig lung soup, although the taste is not necessarily delicious, compared to the bitter concoction, it tastes much better. After drinking the soup several times, you will see its effect. If you believe what I said, you can try this method instead.”

Doctor Song busily asked: “Is your niang the person who wrote this prescription?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, this pig lung soup is just a dietary prescription. It’s not a medicine prescription. Well, we still have something to do, we will leave now.”

Even after Bai Zhi and Hu Feng left the pharmacy, Doctor Song was still in a daze. He felt like he had discovered a secret, but he doesn’t know what exactly it was.

Bai Zhi still couldn’t accept it, she and Hu Feng visited a few more pharmacies in the town. But just like what Doctor Song said, there are no leeches and pangolin in the town. Some of them didn’t even know the two drugs… …

On the way back to the Huangtou Village, Hu Feng saw Bai Zhi was still relaxed and at ease as ever. There was no trace of worry on her face.

His worry also disappeared instantaneously: “It seems that you have another way.”

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: “Why do you think so?”

Hu Feng slowly drove the carriage and looked at the far distance: “Although I don’t know what this leech is, seeing you look confident, it must be something not difficult to get.”

Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “The leeches are not difficult to get, it can be found in the paddy fields, but the pangolin can only be found in the mountain. It seems we have to go to the mountain again. I hope this time we don’t encounter a white tiger.”

Hu Feng said: “I’m not afraid to encounter a tiger. I also need to try my new sword and see how sharp it is.”

Last time, when they first encounter the white tiger, he had a hard time because he has no weapon in his hand. If he has a weapon in hand, he would have killed that whiter tiger in an instant. For him, killing a tiger is not difficult.

Their carriage went around the mountain road and stopped near a grove.

Bai Zhi looked outside and asked: “What’s wrong? Are you going to the bathroom again?”

Hu Feng didn’t answer her question, his eyes fell on the mud in front.

Bai Zhi also looked in there and saw a man lying on the mud. The man was facing towards them, he was dressed in black, but she couldn’t see him clearly. He looked like a young man.

Bai Zhi was about to jump off the carriage to see the man, but Hu Feng pulled her back: “Don’t go!”

Bai Zhi doesn’t understand but seeing Hu Feng’s eyebrow tightly knitted. She knows that things may not be as simple as she thought. She quickly took a step back and asked in a low voice: “What happened?”

Hu Feng replied: “It’s an ambush.” His eyes then swept towards the woods.

Hu Feng’s words just fell, but suddenly, a rain of arrows come out from the direction of woods.

Hu Feng subconsciously pushed back Bai Zhi inside the carriage: “Get down.”

Bai Zhi obediently lies down, her body was flatly lying on the carriage. And she didn’t dare to move.

It’s not that she is afraid of death. It’s just if she doesn’t listen to Hu Feng, she will only increase his burden. After all, she has no experience of evading flying arrows.
