Chapter 223: In the High Priest's House
Su Xi was confident: "If that person is really Fujun, Fujun is also a person from outside the village, is it possible that you will let people from outside the village be the high priest's helpers here?"
"As long as it is ordered by God and admitted by the high priest himself, why not?" The witch doctor looked a little excited, and his voice was raised a lot, I don't know if it was because he was forced by Su Xi's stalking.
Su Xi was taken aback, and at the same time, the stone door that was closed when the shopkeeper Wang went out opened, and the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly walked in, looked at Su Xi, and then looked at the witch doctor, and found that there was nothing unusual, and the tension on his face gradually relaxed.
"Uncle Wang, take this person away. The witch doctor regained the indifference in his original tone, and said calmly to the king's shopkeeper.
Su Xi hurriedly spoke: "You haven't told me if there is a mole behind his ear?" I don't ask you to help me bring people out, but I beg you to give me an answer." ”
The witch doctor had already turned his back, and the shopkeeper Wang came over, stepped forward and grabbed Su Xi and walked out.
Su Xi struggled, and the shopkeeper Wang didn't expect that a thin and thin little old man would have such strength. After a little carelessness, Su Xi took advantage of the loophole, broke free of his hand, quickly returned to the witch doctor's side, and asked with a pant: "Okay, it's okay if you don't answer, then you tell me how to get into the patriarch and the high priest, and I will find a way to meet him." There are some things, if you don't try them, how do you know that there will be no hope?"
Su Xi didn't say who "he" was, but the witch doctor knew it.
Shopkeeper Wang came over to pull Su Xi again, Su Xi shook his hand and wanted to struggle, but this time Shopkeeper Wang would not be negligent, and increased his strength more and more.
"Uncle Wang, let her go. The witch doctor finally spoke, turning his head to look at Su Xi.
Shopkeeper Wang let go of his hand, and Su Xi stood up, staring into the eyes of the witch doctor, knowing that he was ready to help him, but only the question he had just asked.
"In a few days, it will be October 15th, when people will be in full swing to draw lanterns, and in the evening, the patriarch will start from Zhongyuan Street, pass through all the main streets of Wucun, and welcome the blessings of people after lighting the lanterns, which is a lantern festival that we hold every year in Wucun. The witch doctor looked at Su Xi meaningfully, "If you can shine at the Lantern Festival and get the attention and attention of the patriarch, after being summoned by the patriarch, you will be able to enter the patriarch's house, and the man who was rescued is in the courtyard of the high priest of the patriarch's house." There's only so much I can help you. ”
When Su Xi was leaving, she said two words "thank you" to the witch doctor, but in her heart, she scolded the witch doctor for being bloody.
Bastard, this information can be obtained from Zheng Dazui's mouth, let her run this trip in vain, and become a rare person in this area, as soon as she goes out, the people walking on the street, to be precise, are those who watched the excitement at the door of Qingde Pharmacy just now, and they all stared at Su Xi with concerned eyes.
"Old man, are you okay, your waist was healed by the witch doctor?"
"Is it really the witch doctor who healed you? It's unbelievable that the witch doctor actually treated you!"
"Old man, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!"
In order to avoid many explanations, and not wanting to give them the impression that he was a liar, Su Xi nodded his head indiscriminately, but he didn't expect that after they thought that it was the witch doctor who healed Su Xi's back injury, they had a look of surprise on their faces, and their eyes were full of envy, as if it was a very lucky and rare thing to be treated by a witch doctor.
Later, Su Xi came to his senses, yes, the witch doctor here is like an old man to the people in these witch villages, and it is definitely a lucky and rare thing to be treated by the old man to the people in the rivers and lakes.
In short, the "blessing in disguise" in their mouths is true, although Su Xi did not get some other valuable news from the mouth of the witch doctor, but because of the sentence "the witch doctor cured the old man's back injury", Su Xi has become the object of more and more respect and respect of the people.
Thanks to the witch doctor.
No, why should she thank him, these are all things she fought for, if she hadn't been cheeky and scoundrel first, so that the king's shopkeeper had no way to deal with it, she had to ask the witch doctor, and successfully gained the witch doctor's interest and curiosity, presumably she would not have been able to meet the witch doctor, and after coming out, she was successfully envied by everyone, sought after and respected by everyone.
Along the way, presumably because the rumors spread too quickly, Su Xi didn't expect that he would gain the envy of many people. It's just that although her identity has been exposed in front of the witch doctor, she still has to act like an old man in front of everyone.
"Witch doctor, this old man, there is no threat to you, right?" Su Xi left, and the shopkeeper Wang walked in and asked the witch doctor, "Do you want to drive him away?"
Outsiders and people in Wu Village have different beliefs, and there has been such a disturbance in Wu Village, and in the end, after alarming the high priest, everyone in Wu Village was mobilized to drive away the nonsense.
The witch doctor waved his hand: "No, she can't be a threat." ”
"However, the people outside think that you healed his back injury, and he confessed it in front of everyone, I am afraid...... It's not good for your reputation. ”
The shopkeeper continued, his words tinged with concern.
The witch doctor knew that this woman, not to say that he had cured her, could it be that he had to admit in public that she had lied? That would be unfavorable for her future situation in Wu Village.
"No, if it's nothing, stand down. The witch doctor's words were a bit stiff, and it was clear that he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
The shopkeeper looked at the witch doctor, stopped talking, and finally retreated.
The witch doctor didn't dare to think deeply about his decision, the reason why he wanted Su Xi to stay, was it because he wanted her to enter the patriarch's house and take away the person named Abang, or because he wanted to threaten the priestess's retention of Abang through her appearance, and wanted to see who was important in the priestess's heart between himself and that Abang?
He was looking forward to it, but he was also nervous.
When Abang was rescued, he was unconscious, with many sword wounds, scratches and scratches on his body, which could not be saved, but the priestess insisted on letting the witch doctor save the man, and the witch doctor did not know the origin of this person at the time, and thought that Abang had great use value for the priestess.
However, it turned out that the priestess kept Abang behind, and it was a very dishonorable measure.
