Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"From what I overheard them talking earlier, it doesn't seem like a coincidence!" Chen Huo said deeply. "I have a feeling they're all here for something!"

"This trip to Leishan is probably not as simple as it seems. I wonder what exactly happened there?"

"I have a feeling something big is going to happen!" Murong Bingyun said, looking outside. "Chen Huo, promise me, our purpose in coming here is to find a way to cure Qingran of the Gu curse. As for everything else, we won't concern ourselves with anything else!"

"I know!" Chen Huo nodded. "The fog hasn't lifted yet, and it's a bit early. Why don't you take a nap a little longer?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore!" Murong Bingyun glanced at him. "But you, you've been driving all the way, you should rest!"

Chen Huo suddenly grinned: "I'm a bit picky about my sleeping conditions, I need a pillow!"

Murong Bingyun understood his meaning: "What, do you want me to be your pillow?"

"If you're willing, of course I have no objection!"

"bring it on!"

Murong Bingyun, unusually, did not refuse; instead, she patted her thigh.

Looking at those firm and slender legs, Chen Huo swallowed hard and, without any hesitation, pressed his head down onto them.

The soft, bouncy texture and the fullness suspended above make it feel like you're sinking into a pile of cotton, which is exceptionally comfortable.

Murong Bingyun tensed instantly, not daring to look at Chen Huo: "Go to sleep!"

Chen Huo smelled the faint fragrance of her body, and sure enough, he felt sleepy.

"Hey, are you asleep?" Murong Bingyun asked tentatively when there was no movement, and then let out a long sigh.

She silently studied the face, thinking to herself that she had once believed the legendary Dragon Head must be an incredibly brave and powerful man.

Now it seems it wasn't so mysterious after all!

snort!

You even used my legs as a pillow? You're getting off easy!

However, this guy's sleeping posture is really not good.

Lazy and casual, even snoring.

There was even drool coming from the corner of his mouth.

Like a child!

A hint of disdain welled up in Murong Bingyun's heart, yet she also found it amusing.

I secretly took out my phone and took a few unflattering photos of him.

"Hmph, at least I've caught you red-handed!"

"If you dare to talk back to me again, I'll make you look bad!"

"You're drooling all over my pants, honestly..."

Murong Bingyun muttered to herself, took out a tissue, and carefully wiped him clean.

Chen Huo felt that he had slept very soundly.

When he woke up, it was already daylight.

The thick fog has mostly dissipated.

The once quiet town has become unusually lively.

Men, women, and children dressed in brightly colored clothes, carrying bamboo baskets, came and went.

The streets were already lined with all sorts of stalls.

There are vendors selling food, toys, and local products.

Bustling and crowded!

"So many people?!" Chen Huo rubbed his eyes.

"This is the only small town nearby. The residents from the mountains probably all come here for the market!" Murong Bingyun said. "Let's go!"

"Okay!" Chen Huo reluctantly moved off those thighs, stepped on the gas, and drove towards Leishan.

The mountain road winds its way up, with no end in sight.

The higher you go, the more rugged and narrow the road becomes.

Every now and then, groups of three or five villagers would emerge from the side path, clearly heading to the market.

As we drove to the end, the number of forks gradually increased, and the road even turned into a mountain road, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.

Chen Huo stopped: "Looks like we'll have to hike into the mountains!"

"Do you know the way?" Murong Bingyun asked, looking at the towering mountains.

Chen Huo had never been to Leishan, so he naturally didn't know the specific route.

Just as I was about to ask, a commotion suddenly broke out behind me.

"Stop right there! Stop right there!"

"You little beggar, you dare to play us for fools? You're asking for it!"

Then a slender figure appeared, darting back and forth in the crowd.

She was wearing a hat and her clothes were tattered. As she ran, she shouted, "Come on, if you've got the guts, come and catch me!"

"A bunch of ignorant fools, daring to mess with me, your grandma!"

Behind her were five or six men dressed in Taoist robes.

They were all red-faced and indignant, but looked quite disheveled.

"You little brat, you're asking for trouble! I'll teach you a lesson today!" one of the men shouted angrily, suddenly leaping into the air and flicking his horsetail whisk at the little beggar.

The sharp force created a whistling sound.

The little beggar's expression changed, and he rolled away to avoid it.

Seeing that she was about to be grabbed by the man, she immediately ran behind Chen Huo, crying out, "Help! Big brother, help me!"

"These old Taoist priests are bullying a little girl like me! It's outrageous!"

"You little beggar, you're talking nonsense! You were the one who tricked us first, and now you're spouting lies!" the leader yelled, pointing at him. "You led us on a roundabout way, and then you threw feces at us!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"Tch, you bunch of Taoist priests from the Central Plains, why aren't you staying in the Central Plains? What are you doing in Miao territory? If you want to go to Leishan, go find it yourselves. I didn't say I was going to take you there!" the little beggar said righteously.

"You..." The leading man was so angry that his breathing was heaving. He wanted to grab the man directly, but suddenly realized something was wrong and subconsciously looked Chen Huo up and down.

He frowned slightly: "Fellow Daoist, you must also be from the Central Plains, right?"

"Don't let this little girl fool you; she's got a lot of bad intentions!"

"Fellow Daoist, since she's just a little girl, why bother with her!" Chen Huo clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Are you also heading to Thunder Mountain?"

"Exactly!" the man replied. "But we didn't know the exact route. We wanted to ask this little brat for directions, but not only did she eat and drink for free, she also made a fool of us, taking us on a huge detour. It's really infuriating!"

"These little beggars from western Hunan are truly untrustworthy!"

"Bah! You Central Plains people are cunning and shameless. What are you all doing here in our Miao region for no reason?" The little beggar spat. "If you want to get to Leishan, find your own way!"

"But this guy and girl are much more pleasing to the eye!"

"I'll take them, but not you!"

"Young lady, if you're willing, I'd like to trouble you to lead the way!" Murong Bingyun's eyes lit up.

"Oh, no problem, no problem, just don't let those old foxes follow us!" the little beggar said with a sidelong glance.

"You..." The Taoist priests were even more furious.

Why should I?!

Although they were from the Central Plains, they were still from a reputable and respectable family.

This little girl tricked them first, and now it's their fault!

"Fellow Daoists, I apologize!" Chen Huo said with a half-smile. "I have important business to attend to at Thunder Mountain. I'm confident that you can find me with your abilities, so please don't make things difficult for the little girl!"
