Chapter 58: Chapter 58: What Is a Goblin?

Yin Cheng ignored the others’ inquiries and asked Qi Manman, “Little girl, where did you find the thing you just ate?”

Qi Manman used her chubby little hand to point.

Beside her, Yi Meng quickly added, “Right there. Doctor Yin, what exactly is wrong with Manbao? Could you please give us a hint?”

If the other party weren’t so much older, she would have grabbed his collar to demand answers.

Yin Cheng noticed that everyone was very concerned, sighed, and said, “Don’t worry, the little girl is fine and healthy! Let me see what good stuff she found.”

Hearing the child was fine, everyone finally felt relieved.

Mrs. Qi wasn’t concerned about what the child had eaten, as long as her granddaughter was okay.

Now she also perked up and urged, “Don’t crowd around here. Old Fourth, take Manbao back to the carriage quickly.”

“Oh dear, my darling, you cried so bitterly. Grandma will give you a couple more candies to sweeten your mouth.”

Then, Mrs. Qi leaned on her eldest son as a human crutch and walked toward their wooden cart.

Others looked at each other and, without lingering, followed them back.

“Waa!”

Just a few steps away, the sound of a child crying again jolted everyone’s nerves.

Looking back, they saw Qi Shilang struggling to pull up his pants, exposing his little bottom and front while crying.

Only then did Ai Zhaodi remember her son’s pants were not pulled up.

She had been so worried about Manbao that she completely forgot about her son.

Ai Zhaodi hurriedly went back to help her son up, pulled up his pants, and then picked him up to walk back.

No one said anything about Qi Shilang’s situation.

A pesky kid, not as precious as Manbao; if he falls, he falls, it’s not like he broke an arm or leg, no reason to be distressed.

Unlike the others, Qi Ercai and Qi Dalang didn’t go back but followed Yin Cheng to a patch of wild grass with a few remaining red berries.

Watching Yin Cheng keep gasping as he squatted there, Qi Dalang nudged his second uncle’s arm, “Second Uncle, what’s up with Doctor Yin?”

“This…”

Qi Ercai thought for a moment before uncertainly replying, “Probably discovered some herbs!”

Doctor Yin is a doctor, so finding something that makes him react like this must be related to medicine.

Qi Dalang nodded knowingly and asked, “So what do we do?”

Qi Ercai was also a bit puzzled.

They didn’t recognize herbs either, so what could they do by staying?

Just then, the uncle and nephew saw Yin Cheng roll up his sleeves.

Without sleeves obstructing, they noticed Yin Cheng’s wrist was wrapped with several red threads.

They then saw Yin Cheng untie the ends of the red threads and began carefully tying them around a… wild grass.

“Doctor Yin, are you…”

Qi Ercai chose his words carefully before saying, “Going to pull the grass?”

Yin Cheng didn’t answer him but urged, “Go call Qin Minglang! Tell him to bring the tools for digging herbs, say there’s a goblin.”

“What’s a goblin?”

Qi Dalang asked.

Qi Ercai kicked him, “Why ask, go find him!”

Even though Qi Ercai didn’t know what a goblin was, anything that could make Doctor Yin so concerned must not be ordinary.

He had to stay and see for himself what a goblin was.

Qi Dalang wasn’t upset after being kicked. He scratched his head and ran toward Qin Minglang’s cart.

After the Qi Family brought Qi Manman back to the group, they went straight to Qin Minglang.

Although Doctor Yin had checked her, everyone was still not at ease and wanted Doctor Qin to take another look.

Qin Minglang carefully examined her and found nothing unusual.

“Doctor Qin, my daughter keeps saying her mouth is bitter. Did she eat something wrong? Will it upset her stomach?”

Qi Quanjin still couldn’t shake off his worries.

Doctor Qin looked at Qi Manman, who was enjoying her candy so much that one cheek was slightly puffed out, and laughed as he patted her head, “It’s nothing, many wild vegetables have a bitter taste. We adults may not notice it much, but for children, it’s very bitter.”

Everyone agreed, stating this was indeed the case.

Even some of those wild vegetables were too bitter for the adults to handle, let alone the children.

At this moment, Qi Dalang came running over hurriedly.

As soon as he arrived, without waiting for others to question him, he said, “Doctor Qin, Doctor Yin found some herbs, and he wants you to bring the herb digging tools over. He also said he found something — a goblin, yes, a goblin!”

“What?”

Qin Minglang jumped off the carriage and quickly approached Qi Dalang, “Did you say my senior brother found something? A goblin? Are you sure?”

“That’s what Doctor Yin said!”

Qi Dalang was startled by Qin Minglang’s excitement but nodded vigorously.

Such a short distance, he wouldn’t have misremembered it.

Qin Minglang pushed Qi Dalang aside to go find Yin Cheng, but remembered the tools, quickly searched his cart, finally grabbed a basket, and rushed toward where Yin Cheng was.

The young attendant hurried after him.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

What is going on?

What’s a goblin?

Someone’s imagination ran wild, tentatively asking, “Goblin? Is it a spirit monster in the ground?”

“What?”

“It can’t be!”

Everyone else was startled.

Oh my, if Doctor Yin really caught a spirit monster from the ground, wouldn’t the other spirit monsters come to seek revenge on them?

Thinking of this, everyone became uneasy.

“No way, we absolutely can’t catch a spirit monster, we can’t outdo those monsters!”

“Yeah, hurry and stop him!”

Now more people rushed toward Yin Cheng.

With a flurry, the whole caravan was left with only the elderly with limited mobility, and the very young children.

Qin Minglang almost ran all the way to Yin Cheng, “Senior Brother, there really is a goblin?”

“Stop talking, bring the tools over!”

Yin Cheng was half lying on the ground, still pulling the red rope in his hand.

Seeing the red rope, Qin Minglang realized it was real and hurried forward.

The two white-haired old men lay on the ground, carefully digging the soil.

The young attendant watched anxiously from the side.

He knew what a goblin was, and if they really dug one up, it would be worth a lot of silver!

“Doctors, you can’t dig it up!”

The villagers who rushed over shouted, “If you offend the spirit monsters underground, we’ll all be in danger!”

“Yes, please let go!”

Some overly eager villagers rushed forward, wanting to intervene.

Afraid they might hurt the two older men, Qi Ercai quickly stood in front of them to block the villagers.
