Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1073 - 1075: Is That Herb Easy to Find?

Besides being highly skilled in medicine, Xue Zhiyi was also an expert in poison-making, which was why the Empress Dowager sought him out.

This was also the most regretful thing he had done in his life; he believed that An Ping’s death was a retribution for his poisoning others.

Since then, he never made poison again and gave up his medical practice, moving to the mountain to become an outlaw.

However, he unexpectedly encountered the Second-in-Command and his group on the mountain, who seemed to be avoiding something and accidentally intruded on his territory. He initially wanted them to leave but unexpectedly discovered that they were poisoned. Coincidentally, the poison was one he had created. He mocked himself for wondering how many people he would end up harming.

So he gave them the antidote and let them stay on the mountain.

After they stayed, he increasingly realized that these people were not ordinary, as they seemed highly trained, far from common folk. Although he guessed about their identities, he did not question them too much because since everyone was hiding their identities, he did not want to pressure anyone.

Xue Zhiyi stood there, his expression very solemn, and his thoughts drifted further away.

Yang Ming could roughly guess Xue Zhiyi’s intention to check his wife’s pulse. He suspected whether Little Liufu was truly the son of his wife. He thought that this matter could not be hidden from the famous Divine Doctor Xue, and he might have to tell the truth. Just as he was about to speak, his wife’s anxious voice interrupted, "Why are you checking my pulse? Can my son be saved?"

Xue Zhiyi’s thoughts were pulled back by Xiaoxiao’s words. He released the pulse and said, "He can be saved."

These two words made Xiaoxiao so emotional that she was on the verge of tears. Her two months of effort were not in vain; her son could finally be saved. Perhaps this was not retribution but a test from the heavens.

She looked at Xue Zhiyi with genuine eyes, eagerly hoping he would save Little Liufu immediately, "Then hurry and save him."

"Don’t get agitated, there is no rush."

"No rush? How can I not be anxious? The child is already unconscious, and there’s no time left!" Xiaoxiao was indeed desperate, desperate enough to start cursing, "I don’t know which bastard made this deadly poison, but if I find out, I’ll make them pay."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi couldn’t help but shudder. If the girl knew the poison was made by him, wouldn’t she tear him apart? This is something he could never admit.

At this time, An’an spoke up, reprimanding, "Sister is already so anxious. This is an urgent matter, and you’re still saying there’s no hurry? Hurry up and treat him."

"..." Xue Zhiyi was helpless. He didn’t say he wouldn’t treat him, did he? Ever since An’an arrived, she has had this attitude towards him. He thought he needed to find a way to change An’an’s perception of him. "We should first go back to Anyi Village. The herbs to make the antidote aren’t available here; we have to collect them from the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao became worried and hurriedly asked, "Is it easy to find those herbs?"

If they could not be found, wouldn’t the child be beyond saving?

"Easy to find. Let’s hurry; there isn’t much time left." Xue Zhiyi promised, but he was also uncertain in his heart. Those herbs weren’t actually easy to find, and they could only try their luck.

With only ten days, time was indeed tight for them. The journey back to Anyi Village would take several days, and then finding the herbs would take even more time. It truly was not much time.

Just like that, Xiaoxiao and the others, who had just arrived at the Grand Theater not long ago, hurriedly set off back again.
