As soon as Zhou Fangyu finished speaking, there were light footsteps. Then, two very tall men appeared. They were both dressed in green and emitted a strong aura. They were out of place in this remote mountain village.

Village Chief Zhou’s gaze swept across the two of them, and then he saw the handle of a dagger protruding from their boots. Coupled with the murderous aura on the two of them, he concluded that their identities were not simple.

He asked politely, “Who are you looking for?”

One of the men asked, “Have you seen any strange people in your village recently?”

Village Chief Zhou was a man of the world. Even though he was slightly intimidated by the other party’s aura, he remained calm. He shook his head. “I didn’t see anyone strange.”

The man increased his aura and asked, “You really didn’t see anyone strange?” “No,” Village Chief Zhou said. “Our village is surrounded by mountains, so it’s inconvenient to enter and leave. If there is really someone strange, you should have heard people talking about it when you entered the village.”

However, the two of them never expected that the entire village would be hiding it with the village chief.

The two men looked at each other. When they entered the village, they heard that a girl had helped the villagers find a water source. They were looking for a man, and this man might be seriously injured. How could he find a water source and become a woman?

The man cupped his hands at the village chief. “Thank you, village chief.” Then, he waved at the person beside him and turned to leave the village chief’s house.

Village Chief Zhou watched the two of them leave, but he did not relax. He walked around the central room. “They must be here to look for the injured man. No, I have to inform Miss Chu quickly.”

He stopped in his tracks. “Fangyu, call Xiping over. Tell him that I have something to ask him to do.”

Zhou Fangyu immediately replied, “Yes, Village Chief.”

Zhou Xiping was a dwarf. He was fifteen years old this year but he still looked like a child. Although he was short, he ran very fast.

He usually helped the county office deliver letters. The letters could always be delivered on time. The county magistrate liked him very much. Today, he happened to be at home.

Zhou Xiping quickly rushed over. “Village Chief.”

Village Chief Zhou also liked Zhou Xiping. “Xiping, did you see two strange men just now?”

Zhou Xiping nodded. “1 did.”

Village Chief Zhou instructed him carefully, “Hurry up and tell Miss Chu. If these two are bad people, we have to let Miss Chu know in advance.”

Zhou Xiping’s expression was serious. “Yes, Village Chief.”

Zhou Xiping ran to the Chu Village at once.

The two men walked out of the village and looked around before walking towards the mountain that was on fire that day.

“The servant said that Eldest Young Master fell down the mountain with the coachman and the carriage. Perhaps Eldest Young Master is still in the mountains.”

“Let’s go and take a look.”

The two of them quickened their pace and walked into the mountains.

“From the looks of it, the fire was huge. Do you think it’s possible that Eldest Young Master has already been burned to death?”

“Very likely.”

“If he wasn’t saved, he might have fallen into this mountain and been eaten up by the wild beasts.”

The two of them talked as they searched. After searching for a long time, they really found the remains of the carriage. However, most of it had been burned to ashes.

There were drag marks beside the carriage. They were long and extended into the depths of the mountains.

They looked at each other, then quickly scrabbled through the ashes.

After a while, a man pulled out a jade pendant from the remains of the carriage.

In this era, men usually wore jade pendants to show their identities. The front of the jade pendant was engraved with the patterns they liked, and their names were engraved on the back.

The jade pendant had been burned to a different color, but the patterns and name on it were still discernible..

The man’s thumb ran across the jade pendant, and his gaze landed on the bones. “It’s Eldest Young Master’s jade pendant. He always keeps the jade pendant with him.”

“Looks like he was burned to death.”

“Even if he wasn’t burned to death, he would be eaten by wild beasts. Let’s go back and report.”

The two men left from the other side of the mountain.

In Chu Village.

Chu Qingzhi was walking home with a basket of bamboo leaves on her back when she was suddenly stopped by a child.

Zhou Xiping said quickly, “Sister Qingzhi, two strange people came to the Zhou Village to look for someone. The village chief thinks that they might be looking for the person you saved. He wants you to be on guard.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself. With Ning Yuting’s status, it was not strange for people to look for him. “I got it. Help me thank the village chief.”

“1’11 tell the village chief.” Zhou Xiping was about to leave. “Sister Qingzhi, the message has been delivered. 1’11 go back first.”

Seeing that Zhou Xiping was sweating profusely, Chu Qingzhi stopped him. “You must be tired. Come home with me to drink some water before leaving.”

Zhou Xiping was very thirsty, so he did not refuse. “Thank you, Sister Qingzhi.”

When they returned home, Chu Qingzhi gave Zhou Xiping a bowl of water. “Drink it and rest.”

Zhou Xiping picked up the bowl and finished it. Then, he looked at the busy crowd and asked curiously, “Sister Qingzhi, what are they doing?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “They’re making rice dumplings.”

Zhou Xiping was very curious. He looked around and asked, “Can 1 take a look?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Sure.”

Then, Zhou Xiping swam into the crowd like a fish, running around in the crowd to see what was going on.

1 didn’t expect there to be dwarfs in ancient times… Chu Qingzhi glanced at Zhou Xiping and went to look for Ning Yuting.

When Ning Yuting heard that two people were looking for him, he panicked. “Have they left?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I don’t know. Zhou Xiping only told me that someone was looking for you, but the people in the Zhou Village said that they didn’t see you. Now, it’s up to you.”

Ning Yuting frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, “Miss Chu, I want to write a secret letter to my Grandpa.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Sure.” Then, she brought over a pen and paper. “Call me when you’re done.”

“Thank you.” Ning Yuting’s left hand and left leg were injured, but he could still write.

Chu Qingzhi walked out of the room.

Two villagers chatted as they cut the meat.

“Aiyo, my waist hurts again.”

“Ask Qingzhi to see if she can treat it. You know Chu Lanzhen’s father, right? He drank medicine prescribed by Qingzhi for a few days and can get out of bed now after being bedridden for nearly ten years.”

“I know. I saw him when I passed by his house.”

“Qingzhi is too powerful. Even the doctors in the city are not as powerful as her. She’s like a Divine Doctor’.”

“After I’m done, I’ll go look for Qingzhi. Otherwise, I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to work tomorrow.”

The words of the two villagers were heard by Zhou Xiping.

He didn’t expect Chu Qingzhi to be the Divine Doctor. He wondered if the Divine Doctor could treat his dwarfism..
