The expression on his face was still very serious.
"Where did you get the money?"
The woman coughed twice while asking.
The little boy lowered his head slightly and refused to answer.
"Of course it was stolen."
There was no emotion in Ye Xingchen's tone.
When the little boy heard this voice, he immediately turned his head and saw the three of them.
Suddenly he fell to his knees in fright.
The little boy knelt down to Ye Xingchen step by step and grabbed his trousers.
"Please, this money is certainly nothing to you, but to me it is saving my mother's life."
the little boy said.
There was a bit of choke in the voice.
The woman on the bed used her last strength to sit up.
"Gouzi, give them the money back."
The woman said that she must be too angry and started coughing again.
The little boy hurriedly ran to the woman's side.
"I know, I know, I will return the money to them now, please don't get angry."
As the little boy spoke, he quickly took out the complete bag of money from under the pillow beside him and handed it to Ye Xingchen's hand.
"I'm really sorry, there's really nothing I can do."
the little boy said.
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly and gave the bag of money to Bai Yanran.
However, Bai Yanran felt compassion.
Although this little boy's behavior is very abominable, his original intentions are good.
Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was just as he had guessed.
That woman was indeed like this because she was possessed by evil spirits.
Naturally, ordinary medicine cannot cure it.
Ye Xingchen walked slowly to the woman's side, and the little boy immediately used his thin body to approach the woman.
"I know it's wrong for me to steal money. If you want to beat or scold me, just take it all on me. Don't do anything to my mother."
When the little boy said this, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.
He never likes to explain to others why he does this.
Just when he saw the little boy's expression.
But he couldn't help but explain.
"Your mother was possessed by something, and the resulting drug cannot treat her. If you really want to save him, let me try."
Ye Xingchen said.
Bai Wuchang on the side said immediately.
"Yes, yes, just leave it to him. He is an alchemist."
When the little boy heard the three words Bai Wuchang said, alchemist, his eyes instantly lit up.
Indeed, during this period, he tried countless methods and gave his mother countless medicines, but there was still no improvement.
On the contrary, the situation is getting worse day by day.
If the person in front of him is really an alchemist, maybe he really has a solution.
The little boy knew that he had nothing of value left in him.
Ye Xingchen didn't need to lie to him at all.
The little boy pursed his lips slightly and looked at the woman lying on the bed.
The woman coughed twice, then raised her head slightly and said to Ye Xingchen.
"Then leave it to you, thank you very much."
the woman said.
Ye Xingchen nodded slightly and said to the people on the side.
"You all should go out first."
Bai Yanran nodded, then pulled the little boy and Bai Wuchang out of the house and closed the door.
The woman coughed twice and asked softly.
"This young man, am I hopeless? You just said that just to make my child feel at ease, right?"
the woman said.
However, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly.
"I am indeed an alchemist, and I do have some certainty about your illness, as long as you trust me enough."
Ye Xingchen said.
The woman lowered her head slightly.
After thinking for a while, he slowly raised his head.
"Okay, I do."
Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.
"Where has your mother been before?"
Bai Yanran asked, he could see that Ye Xingchen's expression changed slightly when he saw the woman just now.
What comes to mind when you think about it
The little boy frowned slightly. "
"I have been to the city lord's place once before."
the little boy said.
Bai Yanran frowned slightly and continued to ask.
"Did it become like this after going to the City Lord's Mansion?"
The little boy thought for a while, then nodded solemnly.
Then he added.
"Because there is a long-term drought in our city, food is very scarce. Common people like us cannot afford food, so the city lord's palace will distribute food to us people every month."
the little boy said.
Bai Wuchang's eyes turned slightly.
"So after your mother went to collect the food, she came back like this?"
The little boy nodded slightly.
"But the leader of the group is a good man. We refugees are alive today thanks to him. He is our great benefactor in our city."
The little boy seemed to admire the city lord very much when he talked about it.
"Can you take us to see the city lord?"
A voice suddenly came from behind.
Ye Xingchen walked behind the little boy at some point.
The little boy asked excitedly when he saw Ye Xingchen.
"How is my mother?"
Ye Xingchen touched his head and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong anymore. I'll probably be able to recover tomorrow."
When the little boy heard this, the tears in his eyes could not help but flow out.
He hugged Ye Xingchen.
"They really didn't lie. You are really an alchemist."
The corners of Ye Xingchen's mouth raised slightly.
He had just carefully examined the marks on the woman's body.
as expected.
Really demonic.
Is it true that the demonic energy in the Heaven Realm is already so rampant
But if that's the case, why do those sects ignore it
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.
He said slowly to the little boy.
"Your mother needs some time to rest now. Can you tell us where the City Lord's Mansion is first?"
Ye Xingchen said.
He frowned slightly.
Maybe this evil spirit has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion.
He must investigate this matter clearly, if it is really spread into their bodies through food.
So now the whole city is in danger.
The little boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Then I'll take you there."
As the little boy spoke, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly.
"No, you can take care of your mother here. Just tell us where she is."
Ye Xingchen said looking for it.
The little boy nodded slightly, pointed to the bamboo forest, and said slowly in that direction.
"It's just in the north. If you really can't find it, just ask people on the street and they will tell you."
Ye Xingchen nodded slightly and left the bamboo forest with the two of them.
"Brother Ye, do you suspect that these things have something to do with that city lord?"
Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.
"I just took a closer look at the problem in the woman's body, and I found that he was affected by evil spirits."
Ye Xingchen said.
