Chapter 863: Chapter 865: Suggestion to Go to Medicine King Valley
Xiaoxiao’s sudden roar made the scene immediately quiet, and everyone looked at Xiaoxiao with fear in their hearts.
"There’s clearly a cure, but you insist on waiting for death. I think that man on the rack over there laughing at you couldn’t be more right. You’re just stupid and foolish, and you’ll be laughed at by the whole dynasty."
As Xiaoxiao spoke, she glanced at the man tied to the rack. Hearing Xiaoxiao agree with him, he nodded at Xiaoxiao frantically, and Xiaoxiao gave him a stern look.
Xiaoxiao was still angry and swore, "If it weren’t for your unreasonable actions, blaming this strange illness on us, do you think I would care whether you live or die? Your life or death has nothing to do with me."
Seeing Xiaoxiao’s angry face and hearing what she said, the villagers became dispirited and didn’t know what to do, turning to look at the Village Chief. This time, the Village Chief finally showed some understanding and said, "She’s right. There’s a possible cure for everyone’s strange illness. We can’t just wait to die, so no one should argue anymore and listen to what she has to say."
Upon hearing the Village Chief’s words, the villagers turned to look at Xiaoxiao, waiting for her to continue speaking. Xiaoxiao looked at the villagers and asked, "Are you willing to listen to what I say now?"
The villagers nodded, indicating they would not interrupt her anymore.
Xiaoxiao was truly at a loss. These people couldn’t just talk properly without yelling.
She continued, "Since it’s like this, I’ll go ahead and say it. No one outside is treating your illness, so you can go out and find a doctor."
"People outside know about the village’s strange illness and won’t come. If everyone goes out, there might be no one to treat us," the Village Chief said with disappointment. He had considered this proposal before.
"Village Chief, if you don’t try, how would you know? Going out to find a doctor gives you a chance to live; not going means definite death. Which would you choose?"
Xiaoxiao’s words undoubtedly gave everyone a choice, and no one wanted to wait for death.
This time, aside from the Village Chief speaking, the other villagers obediently did not interrupt, which made Xiaoxiao somewhat satisfied. So she continued to say, "Everyone should have heard of the Medicine King Valley."
"Medicine King Valley?"
"Even though it’s a remote area here, you should have heard of it. Medicine King Valley produces Divine Doctors, and the doctors there all have excellent medical skills. Medicine King Valley isn’t far from here, only a five-day journey. If you quickly head to Medicine King Valley, you can survive."
But Xiaoxiao’s words made the Village Chief shake his head. He sighed and said, "We can’t go to Medicine King Valley."
Xiaoxiao was very surprised, "Why? As long as you go to Medicine King Valley, there is hope for everyone’s illness."
Although it can’t be guaranteed that Medicine King Valley will surely cure everyone’s strange illness, it’s still a hope. How would you know without trying? Perhaps it’s everyone’s last chance; knowing there’s an opportunity but not going, isn’t that foolish?
Only to hear the Village Chief regretfully say, "Medicine King Valley is indeed heard of, but you may not know, Medicine King Valley has a rigid rule that requires a letter of recommendation to enter. Where could us countryside folks find a letter of introduction? Going is useless."
"Village Chief, you might not have gotten the news in this remote area, but Medicine King Valley recently changed that rule. You don’t need a recommendation letter anymore to get medical treatment."
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, the Village Chief was incredulous. "How could the longstanding rule of Medicine King Valley possibly change?"
