"Is there anything I can do to help you, sir?"

Villagers passing by took the initiative to inquire.

Jin Ting smiled slightly and said politely.

"I came to a friend and he sent me a letter asking me to come here to pick him up."

"May I ask which of your friends is called? Where do you live now? ”

"He's a doctor, his name is Paley."

The name of the village echoed again and again.

"Yes, yes, we did have a doctor here yesterday, and it turns out that he is your friend."

Hearing this, Jin Ting's smile deepened slightly, and he reached out and took out a silver coin in his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"Thank you for leading the way, I'll bring my friend back."

When the village name looked at the silver coin in his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly took the silver coin and carefully put it in his pocket, then turned around and led the way, walking along the path towards the depths of the village.

"Don't you know, our village is small and remote, no outsiders have come in all year round, and the nearest town is still five miles away, so I know all the more people and fewer people in the village!"

Soon after entering the village, she smelled a faint rancid smell mixed with the dirt and even in the wind, and the further she walked inside, the more disgusting the smell became.

When the villagers saw Jin Ting pick up a handkerchief and put it under his nose, they didn't care, they were still laughing.

"A few days ago, our village was not peaceful, most of the old people and children in the village had a disease, the disease was a cough and spitting with sores on the face, and many people died, and doctors came to the town, and the doctors were helpless. Hey...... What's the use of a doctor, this disease is brought by a witch, it's witchcraft, except for burning the witch, otherwise it's useless for anyone to come. ”

Witch.

This is the first time in a long time that she has heard someone talk about "witches".

He was not a man of many words, but he asked the villagers after they finished speaking.

"How did you know for sure the witch brought the disease?"

"A few years ago there was a plague in the village, a disease spread by witches, and many doctors came to the village, but then we caught a witch in the forest, and after she was burned to death, the plague disappeared! So, this kind of disaster is caused by witches, and no matter how many doctors come, it's useless. ”

Jin Ting pursed her lips, and couldn't help but think of that rainy night, standing in front of the door with an injured and desperate Ding Bao.

"So, did you catch the witch?"

"Hey...... To tell you the truth, I almost burned her to death, but I didn't expect that girl to have a big life and let her run away! ”

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Jin Ting's mouth had disappeared, replaced by a touch of loneliness.

He stopped talking, and the villager quickly took him to the place.

"See, the room in front of you is the village chief's house, and your friend is recuperating at the village chief's house."

"He's hurt?"

"Well, the injury is not light, and I have a fever, but don't worry, the daughter of the village chief's family is also a doctor, and she has always had friends who take good care of you."

Jin Ting bowed slightly, did not speak, and raised his feet to the low and simple small courtyard in front of him.

He wore sunglasses, and everything in his eyes was dim.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, and soon, there was a light footstep sound from inside the door.

"Who are you? Who to look for? ”

The one who answered the door was a young girl, wearing a simple and clean long dress, walking lightly, and she was also enthusiastic and generous when facing Jinting, with a smile in her eyes.
