Chapter 364: Arrest First, Report Later

After finishing speaking, Suo Jiatai looked at Xu Xiang for a long time, before saying, "Even the first elder couldn’t find out about the poison. How could you find out about the poison in just a few hours?"

Xu Xiang looked into her eyes and knew that Suo Jiatai was suspicious of her. After a few seconds of silence, Xu Xiang said, "Elder, you don’t have to worry about how I know about this poison. I’m only here to inform you, because you are the person in charge of the hospital."

After speaking, Xu Xiang stood up and said, "Thank you for the water."

Leaving this sentence, she left the building. Seeing the door closed behind Xu Xiang, Suo Jiatai narrowed her eyes.

Outside the building, Xu Xiang took a deep breath to cleanse her lungs while thinking: ’They couldn’t find out about the poison, but she dared to doubt me. Does she think I’m the culprit for the water and food poisoning? What a foolish person.’

After the stench in her nostrils disappeared, Xu Xiang walked back to the hospital. Once there, she went to find Hede Gezu directly.

As far as she knew, this Hede Gezu was Suo Jiatai’s disciple and the best physician of Yishi’s tribe. Although he is young, he has a calm and kind personality, and he treats patients wholeheartedly. Giving the antidote to him to distribute to the patients is the best arrangement at present.

After searching for a while, Xu Xiang finally found Hede Gezu in the inner room of the hospital. She went straight in and found that the conditions of the patients in this room were worse than those in the front yard.

Sensing someone approaching, Hede Gezu said, "Please go out. This is a restricted area, and no one can enter without my permission."

Seeing that he did not stop treating the patient while talking, Xu Xiang said, "Physician Hede Gezu, I am here to deliver the antidotes for the patients."

When Hede Gezu heard this, he looked back and saw Xu Xiang standing a few steps away behind him. After a few seconds of silence, he continued to treat the patient.

After he finished, he stood up and asked, "Does my master approve the use of the antidote?"

Hearing his question, Xu Xiang rolled her eyes in annoyance and thought: ’I think he is different from those people. But it seems that he is indeed Suo Jiatai’s disciple.’

Thinking like that, she said, "Nevermind. I will let A Lu Zhi handle it."

After leaving this sentence, Xu Xiang left before he could say anything. Coming out of the hospital, Xu Xiang looked at the patients thoughtfully, then at the busy physicians before leaving to find A Lu Zhi.

Half an hour later, Xu Xiang found A Lu Zhi in the village square. Seeing her coming, A Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Have you sent the antidote to the hospital already?"

Hearing his question, Xu Xiang looked annoyed and said, "When I went to Elder Suo Jiatai, she didn’t want to distribute the antidote, but wanted to find out how we found out about the poison instead. As for Hede Gezu, at first I thought he was a good physician who only cares for his patients. But who knew that when I told him that I was going there to deliver the antidote, he didn’t help me distribute the antidote, but asked me if his master had approved us to use the antidote or not."

After hearing her explanation, A Lu Zhi sneered, and said, "It seems that they haven’t learned the lessons from the past."

Xu Xiang looked at his sneering face and asked, "Did something happen before?"

"Mhm. They are trying to use their prestige as physicians to take control of this village while you are away. It’s unfortunate for them that they failed in their attempt and suffered humiliation instead, because their saintess was an idiot who only cared about love and oracles." He said with a mocking smile.

When Xu Xiang heard this, she suddenly remembered the expressions of those Yishi tribe elders, and thought: ’No wonder... When they heard me tell them to let Aojie Lei’er act as God’s messenger to control the refugees, they looked like they were eating flies.’

Thinking of this, she remembered her conversation with Aojie Lei’er in the dry river. At that time, she felt that what Aojie Lei’er said didn’t make sense. But now, after hearing A Lu Zhi’s words, she finally knew where Aojie Lei’er got her news from.

’It seems that she can indeed see the lifespan of people. If what A Lu Zhi said is true, then this Aojie Lei’er should know something about the future too. No wonder she is so determined to snatch Yucheng from me. Is it because of the so-called oracle?’

Seeing her lost in thought, A Lu Zhi smiled and said, "You don’t have to worry about this. Just give me the antidote, and I will deal with those people."

Hearing A Lu Zhi’s voice, Xu Xiang recovered from her contemplation. She nodded and said, "All right."

Thinking that it would be dangerous to store the antidote carelessly, A Lu Zhi said, "Let’s go back to the barracks. I will let Xiuluo warriors guard the antidote. As for those patients, I will send the antidote to the hospital in small batches, to lower the risk of those spies tempering with the antidotes."

Hearing his plan, Xu Xiang nodded, and then A Lu Zhi turned his head to look at the Xiuluo warriors there, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, please watch those women. If you find anyone suspicious, arrest them first and report later."

The Xiuluo warriors knew the importance of this matter, so they all nodded, and the captain said, "Leave this matter to us. We will ensure that no one can tamper with the food."

After he said that, Xu Xiang nodded, then walked to the temporary small warehouse and took out enough cooking materials for two days and more than forty barrels of water.
