Be the Mayor From Today

There was a knock on the cabin door, and then there was a voice, "Miss Darlene, please let the witch doctor on board take a look at Miss Catherine's condition."

"No, I saw it yesterday, but it's more serious. I have to wait until I go to Xiyang City to find a witch doctor." Darlene refused.

"Miss Darlene, how could there be a powerful witch doctor in a small town like Xiyang City." There was a little bit of anger in an old voice.

Darlene knew who the owner of this voice was. It was an old witch who was on the boat, er, an old witch doctor, who seemed to be sent by the fourth prince. Yesterday, she got some black concoction for Catherine to drink. Today, she is sick. aggregated.

Therefore, Darlene didn't dare to let the other party watch it any longer. She would rather go to Xiyang City to try it, because she really couldn't trust the old witch.

The other party waited for a while, but did not wait for Darlene's response, and then continued to persuade, "Miss Darlene, we can't delay any longer. If something happens to Miss Catherine, we will all be to blame."

"..." Darlene pursed her lips and looked at Catherine's painful face. She knew that the other party was right. Once Catherine, the daughter of the duke, had an accident, everyone would be held accountable by the grand duke.

And the owner of her fleet, her father, and the entire caravan family will definitely be destroyed by the wrath of the Grand Duke.

Catherine is the crown jewel of the grand duke and the pride of the grand duke.

How many people like Catherine, a talented musical girl, if 10% of the men in the capital, then at least 30% of the men like Catherine, which is a little worse than Princess Lucy.

"Boom bang bang..."

There was no response, so the knock on the door was louder this time, which made Darlene's face sank, she stood up and opened the door, her blue eyes angrily looking at the few people standing outside.

"Do you think Katherine's illness is not serious enough? Why are you making a fuss here?"

Darlene pointed to an old woman and scolded coquettishly, "What are you trying to do with a knife and a wooden basin? Bloodletting?"

"Yes! Bloodletting can let the demons intruding into the body discharge some, which can reduce the pain of Miss Catherine."

The old woman witch doctor raised her head proudly and said, this is her ultimate treatment method. She saved a lot of people with this trick. Two out of ten people were rescued, otherwise all ten people would die.

"Don't even think about it."

Darlene slammed the door shut again, and a voice came out, "If you make any more noise, leave my boat."

This made the people outside look at each other in dismay. They stood for a while before leaving with a gloomy face. They prayed that Catherine would not have an accident, otherwise some minor nobles who had no status would definitely be dragged by the Grand Duke to be buried with them.

"Ta Tata..."

Darlene leaned her back against the door and was relieved when she heard the footsteps go away. This bloodletting therapy was nonsense in her opinion.

She had read some records of cases of illness, and then compared some cases of civilians after getting sick. She found that 90% of the people who had been treated by bloodletting died, and 70% of the people in this 90% did not need to die, but they were killed again and again. Bleed to death.

"Catherine, don't worry, I will never let anyone bleed you." Darlene stared at Catherine in a daze. This friend went out with her but fell ill, which made her blame herself.

"Come on, come on, Xiyang City is coming." Darlene went to the window and looked out through the gap.

She urgently needs a backbone, such as her father Solo, Darlene is a little bit at a loss now, she doesn't dare to think badly, for example, what if there is no good witch doctor in Xiyang City? What if the witch doctors in Xiyang City also used bloodletting therapy?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy and heavier her mood became. Smart people think a lot. For example, Darlene is like this. Some things didn't happen, and she has made up her mind a lot.

"Huh?" Darlene was stunned, looking not far outside, there were nearly 300 people, who were running slowly with big logs on their shoulders. Far away, she couldn't hear it clearly.

"What are they doing? More than 300 people are carrying wood in the winter? Are they building a house?" Darlene guessed.

"..."

On the other side of the shore, Niu Da rode a horse, looked at the dozen large ships on the Youshui River, and frowned, "Why are so many ships coming to Xiyang City this winter?"

"Second, take the soldiers back and make them ready. Once there is any change, you will immediately lead someone to defend Xiyang City. The safety of the young master is the first priority."

Niu Da said to Niu Er on the side, "I'll take some people to see it first."

Today, I brought the recruits to the field to practice physical strength, and by the way, practice cold tolerance training.

"Okay!" Niu Er took over the command.

"Drive!" Niu Da rushed to the alley with dozens of veterans. He hoped that the other party would not be a bad visitor.

Regardless of whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, some early warning arrangements are required, even if the other party is someone they know.

Chapter 0291 Can the mortal be rescued?

"Xiyangcheng Alley is here!!"

"Rewind! Rewind!!!"

With a loud shout, the sail was pulled up, the speed suddenly slowed down, and it leaned towards the pier by inertia.

Darlene's eyes brightened, and she held the table to avoid being shaken. She moved to the side of the bed, looked at Catherine's pale face, and said softly, "Catherine, we have arrived in Xiyang City, and soon you will be sick. will be fine."

She immediately went out to arrange for the maids to prepare a stretcher, and put a thick animal wool blanket on the stretcher before carefully moving Catherine onto the stretcher, and then covering it with two layers of quilts, and then began to disembark.

"Whoosh..."

Darlene tightened the animal fur coat on her body and looked at the vast white land. It was much colder here than in the capital, so it was no wonder that Catherine was sick.

She looked back at the stretcher, and glanced at the people who were following, especially the Viscount named Jesse, whose face was full of anxiety. After all, it was the fourth prince who sent him to follow Catherine, with the meaning of supervision and protection.

"Heh~" Darlene sneered on the corner of her mouth. These people must regret coming. Now that Catherine has a problem, everyone will suffer. Those noble children who have been courteous to her have not come for the past two days, for fear Being implicated by her, after all, Darlene is the main person in charge.

"Go, be careful." Darlene said to the six maids carrying the stretcher.

These maids were brought by Catherine, and they would not let strangers approach them. There were also some knights around, all of whom were sent by the Grand Duke to protect their daughters.

"Ta Tata..."

After getting off the boat, the group saw a dozen or so well-armed knights approaching with long bows in their hands, which made Darlene and the others nervous.

"Who are you? Where are you from?" shouted a soldier captain guarding the pier.

"We are from the capital, and one of my companions is sick. Is there a witch doctor there?" Darlene shouted anxiously.

"Royal capital? Merchant?" The soldier captain didn't let his guard down.

"Yes, it's a businessman." Darlene replied quickly.

"Damn, do you want to die? The one who is sick is the daughter of the Grand Duke." Jesse roared, putting her arm on the hilt of the sword around her waist.

"Shh!"

This action immediately made everyone nervous. The soldiers immediately aimed their bows and arrows at Jesse. As long as there was a change, they would shoot an arrow. They wouldn't care about the daughter of the grand duke or something. Here Just follow their rules.

They only caught a few businessmen pretending to be nobles a while ago, and now they are staying in the small dark room of the Guard Division.

"Don't, don't let the arrows go." Darlene was anxious, and quickly blocked in front of Catherine, shouting, "My father is Solo, he is in Xiyang City now, and my good friend Catherine is ill, she Truly the daughter of a duke."

This made the captain of the soldiers frown, stepped forward and looked at the stretcher, glanced at the crowd, and said coldly, "You leave the knight's spears, bows and arrows, and only long swords."
