“Is there such a thing!” The young potato boy pondered for a moment, then said, “What if he asks for the patient’s life or makes them commit arson or murder?”
Upon hearing this, both Shang Bieye and Bu Yuchen were startled, looking at the young potato boy, because what he said wasn’t impossible. Who knows what the Medicine King might ask for? Seeing both of them staring at him, the young potato boy thought he had said something wrong, stammering, “Did I say something wrong?”
“No, you didn’t say anything wrong.” Shang Bieye smiled faintly because he was also wondering if he should agree if the Medicine King set such conditions. Fortunately, at this moment, Wu Yangfeng spoke up, alleviating his concerns. “Rest assured, the Medicine King won’t do that because his principle is not to harm anyone, but the giver must be willing.”
“Is that so!” The young potato boy nodded.
“Alright, young potato, hurry up and drive on!” Shang Bieye patted the young potato boy’s head, then lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage. Although the conversation ended there, this matter remained on the minds of Shang Bieye and the others.
Ten days later, they finally arrived at the entrance of Medicine King Valley. “Master, we’ve reached Medicine King Valley!” The young potato boy pointed at a stone monument at the valley entrance.
Medicine King Valley… Xinmeng, we’ve finally reached Medicine King Valley. Shang Bieye lifted the carriage curtain, his heart pounding with excitement at the sight of the monument. “Young potato, hurry up and drive in, don’t waste any more time.” Shang Bieye urged.
“Yes! Giddy up!” The young potato boy swung the reins hard. However, the horse seemed to be frightened by something, lifting its hooves and neighing restlessly. Bu Yuchen quickly jumped from his horse onto the carriage seat to help the young potato boy control the horse.
“What’s going on?” Shang Bieye asked, furrowing his brows.
“I don’t know, it just suddenly started acting up,” the young potato boy said, still shaken.
“If nothing’s wrong, let’s go inside!” Shang Bieye instructed. But at this moment, the horse simply refused to move forward, no matter how much Bu Yuchen and the young potato boy whipped it.
