Facts have proved that Li Zian's keen sense that day was completely correct.
When Guo Xianglei arrived in Huaihua, several incidents of injuries and robberies by refugees had already occurred around Huaihua.
After investigation, Guo Xianglei soon discovered that these refugees were not so much driven from their homes by the Wuman people and had to come to Huguang to survive, but rather were instigated by thoughtful people.
Not only that, but even behind the several incidents of injury and robbery, someone seems to have been adding fuel to the flames.
After the refugees left their homes, they originally felt that they were unlucky and had a bad life. When they came to Huguang, they found that the people here in Huguang lived a prosperous life and felt that they were content with being rich. This was in stark contrast to them.
It is inevitable that people will have jealousy. At this time, if some thoughtful people fan the flames, some brainless refugees will easily act impulsively.
Fan Bingrong's trip to find Qi Zihao did not go smoothly. When he rushed to the bandit's village based on the information in the letter, Qi Zihao had already left with his people.
Fan Bingrong found a secret letter left by Qi Zihao in the village. The letter stated that there was news in Juzhou City that someone had doubts about the identity of Mr. Yan. The ghost master used witchcraft to judge whether Mr. Yan was telling the truth. , if the result of the divination is not good, it is very likely that Mr. Yan will be executed on the spot.
After getting the news, Qi Zihao naturally couldn't wait any longer and took people directly to Juzhou City to rescue Mr. Yan.
"Isn't this nonsense!" Fan Bingrong was really angry with this brat, but he had no choice but to lead his people to continue heading towards Juzhou City.
Although Fan Bingrong led his people to rush around day and night, they still could not stop Qi Zihao before he entered the city.
He then ordered people to station themselves on the hilltop opposite Juzhou City, and sent people to Juzhou City to deliver a message, asking to see Qi Fei.
Qi Fei is not having a good time in the city these days.
Although he gained the trust and respect of the ghost master, several elders in the clan criticized him.
Fortunately, the Wuman tribe is basically the master of ghosts, so his life in the tribe is quite comfortable.
But since the Ghost Lord listened to his words, led his tribe to leave the mountains and forests, and occupied Juzhou City, the elders' opposition became unprecedentedly fierce.
After he ordered to arrest Mr. Yan, the condition of the ghost master's youngest son suddenly worsened. Several elders took the opportunity to attack, saying that it was precisely because the ghost master blindly listened to the words of the foreigners and left the forest that such consequences occurred. He hoped that the ghost master would The Lord can lead the people back to the village.
Qi Fei tried his best to temporarily put the blame on Mr. Yan, and persuaded the ghost master to ask for good or bad luck.
At this time, Qi Zihao and his men also dispersed and used various methods to enter the city, preparing to wait for the opportunity.
The day before the ghost master performed the divination, Qi Fei suddenly received news that Mr. Yan's family members had come to Juzhou City with doctors and medicinal materials, and he immediately told the ghost master the good news.
Compared with Mr. Yan, the ghost owner was more concerned about his son's safety and immediately agreed to let the doctor bring medicinal materials to the city to treat his younger son.
The doctor Fan Bingrong brought this time was surnamed Yan and given the name Heming. He was also one of the secret guards of the palace. He was selected because of his talent since he was a child. He practiced martial arts while studying medicine. After completing his studies, he stayed in the palace and worked exclusively for the secret guards. Wei and the spies treated patients and healed their wounds.
He and Mr. Yan grew up together. When they heard that he was trapped in Juzhou City, they volunteered to Li Zian and followed Fan Bingrong.
Yan Heming took his medicine boy and followed the people sent by the ghost master into the city, while the others stayed where they were and waited.
When he entered Xie's house and saw the patient, even though Yan Heming was used to seeing the various injuries of secret guards, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Lying on the bed was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was unconscious and naked. His right leg and thigh were obviously swollen and his skin was shiny. The flesh at the wound was rotten and black, and broken bones were vaguely visible. There were maggots swarming around and the house smelled very bad.
Qi Fei explained: "Jia Lin was injured in the right leg by the Xie family and returned to the village. The ghost master used witchcraft to heal his injury and ordered people to smash herbs and apply them on the wound. However, the broken bone never improved. On the contrary, One day is more important than the other.
"Later I came to Juzhou City and saw a doctor in the city for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor reset the broken bone and applied medicine to the wound. He fixed the wound with a bamboo board and said that he would remove it and change the dressing after seven days.
“But within seven days, the injured leg became more and more swollen, pus leaked from the splint, and gradually began to smell bad. Only when we took off the splint did we find that maggots were already growing in the wound.
"The ghost master once again used witchcraft to treat him, but he still didn't get better. Instead, he began to fall into a coma."
Yan Heming stepped forward to check the injured and found that the right foot was not only swollen, but also faintly black.
He touched it a few times and found that not only could no blood pulse be felt on the instep and popliteal fossa, but he could not even feel any pulse in the groin.
Yan Heming frowned, and after diagnosing the patient's pulse, he said solemnly: "The patient's leg bone was not properly treated from the beginning. Not only was it not reset and fixed correctly, but the medication was not symptomatic, and the inside of the village was damp and full of insects. , affecting wound recovery.
"After arriving in Juzhou, I guess you met a quack doctor. Not only did he fail to properly reset the bones that had not grown properly, he also bandaged the wounds that were already bleeding and kept them stuffy for several days. Not to mention it was so serious. The injury is serious, even a small wound will not heal!
"Now the pus and poisonous blood has spread all over the body, so people will fall into coma. If you give up this leg, you may still have a glimmer of hope, otherwise you probably won't be able to hold on for long."
"No, the leg cannot be amputated!" Qi Fei immediately objected when he heard that he wanted to give up the leg.
Yan Heming frowned and asked: "Is a leg more important than a human life? Although the process of amputating a bad leg is also very dangerous and may lead to death, at least there is still a third of life. But if this leg is not abandoned, the person will die within half a month. No doubt."
Qi Fei sighed deeply and said, "Doctor Yan, you don't know something. Anyone with any disability or defect in the Wuman tribe cannot be a ghost master."
"Ghost Lord?" Yan Heming didn't expect this to be the reason. He was about to die, so he still wanted to hold on to his power?
He couldn't help but taunted: "According to what you said, can you become the master of ghosts if you are completely dead?"
Qi Fei turned to look at the young man lying on the bed, his brows full of worry, and after a while he said: "For him, if he can't become the ghost master, then there is only one way to die.
"Because no matter who becomes the next ghost master, he will not be allowed to continue to live in the world."
