Chapter 34 - Chapter 34. Face Painting

Hearing that, Hao Chu nodded. "So the only thing we can do now is investigating the mastermind behind the attack that night," he said.

Feng Ming, Wang Xiumin, and Xue Yen glanced at each other then nodded.

"He is the only clue left, take good care of him, Grandma Chiyo," Hao Chu said to the old woman before him.

A few moments later, the village chief came with a paper and an inkstone in his hand, he then gave it to one of the men in the room.

"May I ask you one thing?" Xue Yen asked the village chief.

"Of course, Sir. Tell me."

"This village is very far from the center of the royal city, I wonder how the villagers fulfill their daily needs here?" asked Xue Yen.

"Regarding that, it's very easy, Sir. Some of the merchants in this village would travel to the royal city to shop for many goods for the benefit of the villagers. Although the population in this village is very small, the needs of the residents are very large. Do you need anything, sir?"

Xue Yen shook his head slowly. "May I know when they will depart for the Royal Capital?" Xue Yen asked again.

"If I remember correctly, maybe tomorrow, sir. And they'll be back a few days later."

Xue Yen was silent hearing that, he thought for a moment before saying again, "Say that I want to meet them before leaving." This is a very good coincidence. Yue Ahn would finish painting the girl's face tonight, and he would enlist the help of the merchants to spread the image of the girl's face in the Royal Capital and elsewhere.

Xue Yen was the son of the Xue family, His father was a big merchant in the Qin Kingdom and had connections to many places outside the Qin kingdom, with his father's reputation, he can ask the merchant alliance for help in finding the girl's whereabouts, it was easy for him.

"Alright, sir. I will ask them to come and meet you tomorrow," replied the village chief, bowing slightly.

While grandma Chiyo, the old woman did not move an inch from her place. Everything that became the conversation of the people in the room sounded very clearly in her ears.

It was late afternoon, after Grandma Chiyo had done all the things she needed to do, she said goodbye to go home. It felt like the day had gone by so fast, treating some seriously injured men made her a little tired.

Healing injured people is different from finding firewood and other physical work. For she must do so with great care and calculation, for if she makes the slightest mistake, the consequences will be dire. Grandma Chiyo never underestimated other people's health conditions.

Until nightfall, the old woman returned to visit the village chief's house. She has some potions in her hand. If she hadn't run out of one of the ingredients for the potion, maybe she will visit tomorrow morning.

When she arrived at the village chief's house, she immediately checked the condition of Zhang Jiangwu and the others, then she handed the potion she brought to the village chief, the potion was special for tomorrow. And for the day after tomorrow, she needed to produce it again for them.

"Their condition has started to improve, you only need to ask them to drink this, and for this one, you only need to apply it to the wounds on their bodies," said Grandma Chiyo then put a few bottles of potions on the table while explaining their respective purposes.

Currently, there was only Granny Chiyo, the Village chief, Zhang Jiangwu, and Bai Jun in the room. The others are now in the living room. Seems to be talking about something important.

"I want to go somewhere tomorrow," said Grandma Chiyo after explaining everything.

"How long?" asked the village chief.

"Not long. I just want to take some raw materials to make potions. Don't worry, I won't leave them in this condition," Grandma Chiyo replied.

"Okay, do you need help? I can ask a few people to go with you."

"No need, sir. I can do it myself," Grandma Chiyo replied.

While on the other hand, Xue Yan and the others were now focused on a face painting on the paper that was on the table right in front of them.

"Your abilities are not to be underestimated. Seeing this picture, I feel like I'm seeing the girl in person," said Feng Ming, the man grabbed the paper and brought it closer to his face.

Just a moment ago, Yue Ahn had already finished painting Xiao Ara's face. The man-made three sheets of face painting, each for a different person. One face painting for the village chief, and another to give to painters to imitate in large quantities to be distributed throughout the kingdom, as well as for the merchants who will visit the royal capital tomorrow.

Xue Yen believed that just by mentioning his father's name, merchants would do anything to help him, including making large numbers of face paintings for themselves.

Yue Ahn smiled proudly as he crossed his legs. "Be careful not to tear it. I can't draw it anymore. My hands are tired," he said as he took a deep breath, one of his hands stroking the long hair that fell on his chest.

"You should draw it more, as a backup in case one of these is damaged," said Wang Xiumin.

"That is enough. My hands are tired. Look! My nails are almost blistered," Yue Ahn stroked his hand gently as she let out a tired sigh.

"I've thought of everything. Three sheets are enough, if one of them breaks, there are still other pictures left," he added.

Right after he said that the village chief and Grandma Chiyo walked out of the room where Zhang Jiangwu and Bai Jun were.

"Good evening, Grandma Chiyo," said Feng Ming and Xue Yen almost at the same time.

Grandma Chiyo smiled, "Good evening, Sir," she replied.

"Grandma Chiyo is going somewhere tomorrow, and she won't be visiting for a while. The potions and all the things needed have been given to me," the village chief explained.

Previously, when Granny Chiyo arrived at the village head's house, Feng Ming, Xue Yen, Yua Ahn, Wang Xiumin, and Hao Chu were busy talking about the night the foreigners attacked and didn't notice the old woman's arrival.

"Grandma Chiyo has also checked their condition," added the village chief again.

The men exchanged glances, "Is that true? Are you going to visit somewhere tomorrow?" Feng Ming asked.

"That's right, sir."

"Ah good, then come here. I want to show you something," Feng Ming said again. Although there was no guarantee that Grandma Chiyo would run into the girl by accident. He still intends to show the face painting to her.

"Take a look and pay attention to this picture, Grandma Chiyo," said Feng Ming as he handed the paper in his hand to the old woman.
