The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 12 Yanzhou Mansion

The weather in Laiyang County is smooth and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but other places are still full of chaos.

Three hundred miles away from Laiyang County, there is a state city that stretches across the plains. This place is called Yanzhou Prefecture.

There are many roads in the city, and there are countless taverns and shops. There are no less than [-] households living here.

The biggest official in the city is Su He, the state boss who went to Laiyang County last time to investigate the county examination!

He handled the county examination matter properly and was praised by the court. However, because the matter occurred within his jurisdiction, the court did not punish him.

Su He was okay with this. Anyway, as long as Wusha Mao was still there, the reward from the court was not worth mentioning at all.

It was the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Su He took his family to a mountain courtyard outside the city to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes. Life was happy and joyful.

But what he didn't expect was that when he returned home to the state capital the next day, his son suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and vomited a lot of black mucus with an extremely fishy smell.

Su He thought that the mooncakes he ate last night were not very clean, so he called a doctor in the city to diagnose his son.

But after the doctor came to see it, he shook his head repeatedly, and his brows almost knitted together!
Upon seeing this, Su He immediately urged: "Why do you keep shaking your head? You can tell whether my son is good or bad!"

The doctor glanced at Mrs. Su who was still wiping away tears in the room, and gestured with his eyes to Su He to follow him to a secluded place.

Su He has been in the officialdom for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions has long been perfected.

Even now that his son was still lying in bed, he could see what the doctor meant.

So he followed the doctor outside the house.

Standing under the eaves, the doctor said in embarrassment: "Sir, your young master may not be hungry, but he is fascinated by the wild charm of the mountains and forests!"

Hearing this, Su He's expression changed immediately. He looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping before lowering his voice and said: "Nonsense. Today's emperor is wise and powerful, and the divine capital of Luoyang is the place where dragons gather in the world. The dynasty We are prosperous, where did the wild charm of the mountains and forests come from to cause trouble? Only you and I know about this. If others hear about it, your life will be at risk tonight!"

Who doesn't know that today's emperor has always regarded himself as a sage and wise king, and if the news of wild charms appearing in Yanzhou Prefecture reaches his ears, they will all suffer.

There was a bitter expression on the doctor's face and he said: "You know that saying such words in front of others will cause trouble, so why don't I call you out alone to say it? I'm just doing my best." It's just my duty, I can't just watch your young master die just because of fear!"

Su He's expression softened slightly after hearing this, and then asked: "Okay, okay, I will keep this matter a secret for you for the time being. Just tell me how my son's illness should be treated now!"

The doctor thought for a moment and then said in a troubled manner: "There is a cure for the disease, but the villain may say something that goes against the holy will again!"

"But it doesn't matter, there are only two of us here!"

Su He waved his hand and signaled the doctor to just speak.

The latter then said hesitantly: "There is an old woman in Crock Alley in the city. She is proficient in heresy and has quite a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing. If you are interested, you can go find her!"

"You asked me to find a goddess?!"

Su He just wanted to get angry, but saw the fear in the doctor's eyes.

Expecting that he would not dare to lie to her, Su He suppressed his anger and said, "Can she really save my son's life?"

"I can't guarantee this, but I have personally seen her forcibly resuscitate a dying man for half a day. This cannot be faked!"

Su He lowered his head and thought for a moment. He really didn't want to go find this so-called goddess.

Once this matter is publicized, it will not do him any good, and he may be held accountable by the court.It would be understandable if a low-level official like the county magistrate made such a mistake, but he was already a high-ranking official in the state government, and there were countless pairs of eyes in Yanzhou staring at him.

Just as he was struggling, the sound of his son's vomiting came from the house again.

Su He couldn't help but trembled, a trace of determination suddenly flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand and said to the doctor: "Only you and I know about this, let's go!"

"Yes, thank you sir!"

The doctor, as if he had been granted amnesty, wiped the sweat from his forehead and left quickly.

After the doctor left, Su He did not go into the house to check on his son's condition, but went straight to the secluded backyard.

In a dark corner where the sunlight cannot shine, a slightly dull voice suddenly came out: "Sir, what are your orders?"

Su He said: "There is a goddess in Crock Alley. Find her quickly, but you must not be discovered by others, not even ordinary people. Do you understand!"

"Understood, don't worry, sir!"

The sounds in the corner stopped suddenly, and Su He knew that the people there had left quietly.

As a state official, it is not surprising that there are several skilled soldiers.

Only they were worthy of Su He's trust. In addition, even his wife, who had been sleeping with him for decades, was not enough to completely reassure Su He.

After the dead men were dispersed, Su He returned to the room, held his sleeping son in his arms and asked his wife to find all the doctors in the city.

……

But at this moment, in Crock Alley in the city, a shriveled old woman with a hunchback was sitting alone in a courtyard with crooked bricks and sloping tiles and flowing mud and water.

The old woman was concentrating on painting a clay sculpture in front of her.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the clay sculpture in her hand is actually a shriveled little man.

The villain has lost his life, and even his skin and flesh have been ripped off.

The colorful paint applied by the old woman fell directly on the villain's flesh and blood, and the dirty blood flowed all over the floor.

At this time, a small person the size of a palm suddenly jumped over the wall and rushed into the yard, shouting loudly: "Grandma took the bait, Grandma took the bait!"

The old woman was shocked by him. She shook her hand and the paint suddenly scattered on the floor.

She angrily put down the brush in her hand, grabbed the little figure on the ground, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it without even chewing.

"How many times have I told you to speak clearly? You idiot, no wonder you can't be a little fairy!"

As she spoke, she quickly put away the clay sculpture of the little man in front of her.

Several little guys who looked exactly like the little guy before rushed out of the house and helped the old woman clean up the blood and paint on the ground, as if nothing had happened.

Just when they finished all this, a black figure suddenly broke in from outside the door, looked at the old woman and said coldly: "Come with me!"

The old woman was not surprised at all by this person's arrival. She squeezed out a twisted smile on her withered face and said, "Let's go!"

Under the slightly surprised gaze of the dead man, the old woman walked out of the yard without forgetting to lock the door of her house!
