Even though Grandma Chiyo was curious about the men, the old woman didn't ask anything about them. Looking at the soldiers guarding the village head's house and the way the village head treated them, already gave her a pretty clear picture that the men weren't ordinary people as depicted in the clothes they wore.
On the way home, the atmosphere around was very quiet. Some of the torches and lanterns that illuminate the house appear to have been extinguished, indicating that the owner is asleep.
Walking alone in the middle of the night, Grandma Chiyo's steps didn't slow down in the slightest. As the only healer in the village. This kind of thing was normal for her.
Until the next day, when the sun has begun to trace its axis. Granny Chiyo visited the village head's house again to check and give potions to the injured people.
"How are they doing?" asked the village head after seeing Grandma Chiyo finish examining the wounds on Zhang Jiangwu's body and on Bai Jun's body.
"They are better now. Do you have any other purpose after this, Sir?" asked Grandma Chiyo, glancing at everyone in the room.
"Ah, I'm sorry if I ask like that, sir. If I may give you a little advice, stay here a few days until the wounds on your bodies dry. Because if you go on a long trip with injuries like that, I'm afraid your condition will worsen," said Grandma Chiyo again when she didn't get a response.
"Alright, thanks for your treatment. You can leave now and come back later," Wang Xiumin said with a smile on his lips. Although he hates women, there is an exception in him. Anyone from any circle who has expertise in medical science is entitled to receive respect from him.
And this was the first time he had shown respect and kindness to ordinary people. In the royal palace and his family residence, all healers were men.
Last night when Grandma Chiyo arrived at the Village head's house, the Crown Prince and the others felt a little doubtful when they saw the appearance of someone who would treat their wounds. But because at that time, they had no other choice, and thanks to the faith the village chief gave them, Zhang jiangwu and Bai Jun finally allowed the old woman to touch their bodies.
To be honest, during their lives, this was the first time they had seen a woman possessing medical abilities in the Qin kingdom. The freedom, authority, education, and rights that only men had made the position of women in the Qin kingdom very low and even worthless.
"Wait!" said Hao Chu when he saw Grandma Chiyo wanted to leave.
"Are you a native of this kingdom?" he asked in a soft and polite voice.
At the same time, a commotion sounded from outside. And that caused everyone's focus to shift.
"Let me check it out," Hao Chu said, immediately walking out of the room. Choosing to forget his question to Grandma Chiyo.
"Tie him up and take good care of him. Don't let him run away."
Hao Chu's ears faintly heard a voice that was so familiar to him.
It turned out to be Xue Yen, He was with a man who was wearing all black clothes, there were many wounds all over his body.
"I thought you were back in the palace," Hao Chu said as he approached the man.
"With him? Rather than going back to the palace with him, I'd rather catch up with you guys. I don't have any explanation for the palace," Xue Yen replied.
"You can tell everything that happened."
"Then, I will become my Father's fugitive for abandoning the Crown Prince?" Xue Yen replied.
Hao Chu chuckled, he then looked at the man in black that Xue Yen was carrying. "Is he still alive?" asked Hao Chu appraising the man.
"Do you think I dragged a corpse on the way here?"
Hao Chu smiled widely in response to the man's words.
"How are the Crown Prince and Bai Jun doing? Where are they? I want to see them," Xue Yen said, the man walked into the house, past Hao Chu who was still standing at the door.
"He is in that room, come in," Hao Chu replied as he pointed to the room in question.
Xue Yen nodded and entered the room.
Looking at the Crown Prince and Bai Jun who were leaning on the bed, a wide smile formed on his lips, Xue Yen quickened his pace while spreading his arms, looking like he wanted to hug someone.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Xiumin stepped up and held Xue Yen, one of his index fingers held the man's forehead so he wouldn't go any further.
"The wounds on their bodies haven't dried, you can't do anything to them," he added.
Hearing that, Xue Yen pouted and then took a few steps back. Canceled his intention to approach the Crown Prince and Bai Jun.
"Did you find anything?" Zhang Jiangwu asked Xue Yen.
"Of course, don't call me Xue Yen if I disappoint you," he replied confidently.
"Then say it," Zhang Jiangwu asked.
Xue Yen glanced at the two unfamiliar figures for a moment before saying, "After examining all the corpses, I found someone who is still alive. The wounds on his body are very severe and he is still unconscious, it looks like he lost a lot of blood."
"We can dig up information from him," he added.
"Then where is he now?" asked Wang Xiumin.
"I asked the soldiers to tie him outside," Xue Yen replied, sounding enthusiastic.
Even the corner of the village head's lips twitched at Xue Yen's explanation. The man had lost a lot of blood, the wound was very serious, and he said he asked the soldiers to tie him up and just leave him outside?
Did He want to hasten that person's death? Even though the village chief didn't understand their problem, if he wanted to dig up information from someone who was seriously injured and lost consciousness like that, shouldn't he have to treat his wound first?
At the same time, Hao Chu appeared at the door.
"Grandma Chiyo, can I ask you for a favor again? I want you to treat the wounds on his body too," Hao Chu said as he tilted his body, giving anyone access to see the two soldiers who were supporting a man in black clothes.
Without any explanation, everyone already knew to who Hao Chu was referring.
"Hey, hey, wait. Why did you bring him in?" Xue Yen protested, approaching Hao Chu at the door.
"He is the only clue for us. We have to treat his wounds and keep him alive. Yeah, until he could answer all the questions that were directed to him later," Hao Chu explained.
"Unless you understand corpse language, then I'll let it go," he added.
