Chapter 52: Lifting the Curtain

This kind of "treatment" lasted for three full days. During these three days, Anthony and Alina were like the most dedicated doctors. When the sun rose every day, they spread out the table and began to receive patients until the sun went down.

They only put it away when the time comes, and they don’t take any money from medical expenses.

Almost all the townspeople were moved by the professional ethics of these two foreign "doctors". Every day someone would come to give them some food or clothes to keep out the cold.

Although Anthony was very moved by these things, he finally waved his hand and rejected them righteously - at this critical point in the planning, he would never allow any problems to arise.

But the price of this was that he and Alina could only rely on their extraordinary abilities to steal food from the houses of some slightly wealthier townspeople every night.

This was the first time Anthony had experienced this kind of life, but the only thing that comforted him was that on the second night they finally found a fire and lit the stove in the house, making the nights no longer so cold.

And just before dawn on the fourth morning, with a loud shout, the door of the house where Anthony and Alina lived was actually kicked open!

Anthony opened his eyes in a haze and looked out the window. There were crowds of people everywhere in his field of vision. Almost everyone walking on the street had a weapon or a torch in their hand, surrounding this small house.

The water is blocked.

"Damn quack doctor, come out quickly!"

Amidst shouts and curses, several strong townspeople rushed into Anthony and Alina's bedroom.

Fortunately, Anthony woke up, raised his hands high and walked out of the room amidst the beating and scolding of everyone.

Alina, who had not yet woken up, was not so lucky. She was almost dragged out of the room by her hair, and the heart-rending screams she made along the way made Anthony tremble.

Neither of them was wearing coats, and they were left on the snow outside by the townspeople. They could only stand back to back and shiver.

"Dead! Dead!" Someone pointed at Anthony's head with an iron stick: "Three people died this morning! More than a dozen people fell one after another! They were all after taking what you called 'special medicine'

Dead!"

"You two damn guys are not doctors at all! You are murderers!"

...

The townspeople surrounded the two people. They were furious and cursed Anthony and Alina. Some people spat at them, and some even raised their weapons at them, wanting to kill them directly.

Die here.

After a brief silence, Anthony stood up unsteadily and said loudly: "Everyone, although I don't know what happened, please think about what we are here for before you do anything."

He cleared his throat and looked around: "First of all, you should be aware that during the medical treatment, we did not get anything."

After Anthony's words fell, the crowd around him fell silent instantly, because in the past few days, everyone had seen what these two "doctors" had done, and they really did not get anything from this.

At the same time, a low cry came from his legs, it was Alina.

The "frail female doctor" was inexplicably treated unfairly, so she cried. Her low cry made all the townspeople present sober up and began to think about what had happened before.

A leader walked out among the many townspeople. He frowned and said: "A dozen people who were injected with the 'special medicine' by you have died, and before they died, they had the same symptoms as you."

It’s exactly what the notice says!”

Anthony raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said solemnly: "Dear townspeople, I think I can assure you that all the special medicines we use are effective, and each one is from the palace pharmacist.

Hands, and human experiments have been conducted. Nana, the daughter of the law enforcement officer Aite, was already infected with the plague and was cured by the special medicine, so there is absolutely no problem!"

"Then how do you explain what happened to those who died?!" one of the townspeople holding a hoe asked angrily.

Anthony first looked like he was thinking, then shook his head repeatedly and said in a low voice: "Impossible, this is impossible..."

"Doctor, don't worry about it. If you think of something, just say it." The leader saw that Anthony's mood was not right, and he immediately thoughtfully gave Anthony a chance to answer the question.

After being silent for a long time, Anthony sighed again and said hesitantly: "I believe you have also seen that we only brought very little luggage when we came here, and those 'special medicines'

It is a very precious thing. It will be transported from the imperial capital by a special person later. The person responsible for the handover is the mayor of your town, Sykes and the Aite law enforcement officer..."

At this point, Anthony's voice became even smaller: "I wonder if something went wrong during the process?"

"That damn guy Sykes must have secretly taken the special medicine!"

As soon as Anthony finished speaking, some townspeople immediately roared: "No wonder I haven't seen that damn guy these days. He must be hiding in the castle now, waiting to come out after we are all dead! That way

Then he can embezzle all of our property!"

"He must be with that damn woman of his! And Suili's family!"

...

In a short moment, the direction of the wind changed, and the man standing on the cusp of the storm became Mayor Sykes, but what the townspeople didn't know was that he had been dead for a long time.

The corner of Anthony's mouth curved slightly, but soon he spoke again: "Everyone, I think it's better not to speculate about the mayor like this, he..."

But before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by a town citizen. The man said excitedly: "That guy Sykes should have died a long time ago! He will only try his best to plunder our property, and he will

He should go to hell with his woman!"

"And the Suili family who has been hanging out with him!"

It seems that Mayor Sykes's prestige in this town is indeed not very high.

Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke again: "In this case, as far as I know, there are more than two thousand potions sent from the imperial capital. If Sykes secretly hid these potions, then we will go now

How about he come over and use it directly?"

"Yes, take our families with you!" one of the townspeople shouted loudly.

On this cold morning, these people who had been frightened by the dead finally lost all order. In order to use the "real special medicine" early, their whole family went out, everyone holding a weapon, and headed towards
