Chapter 94 Mysterious Woman

Chapter 94 Mysterious Woman

Jiang Lingyin observed the expression of the man in front of her.

She turned to look at Ye Wenjing and whispered, "I don't think their symptoms are like being possessed by evil spirits, but rather like being poisoned."

Ye Wenjing nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Jiang Lingyin said to the man, "Can I take their pulse?"

The man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

After taking the pulse, Jiang Lingyin said with certainty.

"You are... poisoned."

The man was a little surprised: "Poisoned? The older generation in our village said it was cursed by a witch."

Jiang Lingyin said confidently: "It is indeed poisoning. Moreover, this poison is not difficult to cure. I can treat you."

The man's eyes suddenly showed surprise.

"Two great doctors, please come in and diagnose the rest of my family!"

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were invited into the house.

The other people who came with Jiang Lingyin did not enter the village at all, but secretly lurked to investigate.

After Jiang Lingyin entered the room, she carefully took the pulses of the five people present in Old Li's family and became more certain of her guess.

She said to Ye Wenjing, "They are both poisoned, the same kind. This poison is somewhat similar to the Wu Ye Ti that Su Wanyin used, but it is not exactly the same."

Jiang Lingyin asked again: "Does someone in your Xiangyun Village get poisoned every month? Has it been going on for twenty years?"

"The Wu Ye Ti will not last for twenty years and still be alive." Ye Wenjing said.

Ye Wenjing frowned: "Is there any hidden story behind this?"

Jiang Lingyin thought for a moment and said, "Let's first find a way to detoxify them, and then find out the situation."

So, the two began to look for the herbs needed for detoxification in the mountains around the village.

In the afternoon, they returned to Lao Li's house.

Jiang Lingyin personally prepared the antidote and gave it to everyone.

After a while, the poisoned person's condition gradually improved.

Ye Wenjing took the opportunity to ask the oldest man in the Li family: "Uncle Li, how did you get poisoned?"

The man recalled: "Twenty years ago, a mysterious woman with magical medical skills came here, and our village has become like this since then."

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were startled. Could it be that this mysterious woman was Su Wanyin?

But it is impossible for Su Wanyin to poison the entire village for no reason.

What’s more, the poison lasted for twenty years.

Jiang Lingyin was surprised, this matter was too weird.

Su Wanyin's nickname is Xiaoxiao.

What happened when she came to Xiangyun Village?

Why does everyone in the village mention her...even now, whenever they see outsiders, the villagers are so panicked?

The villagers were also very secretive about Su Wanyin's affairs and were unwilling to say more.

There must be some unknown secret behind this.

In order to further clarify what happened to Su Wanyin in Xiangyun Village twenty years ago.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing decided to stay.

But Xiangyun Village never allows outsiders to stay overnight.

So, Jiang Lingyin had an idea.

Jiang Lingyin smiled and said to Old Li: "Uncle Li, this antidote needs to be taken for three consecutive days to finally detoxify, and it is different every day, so we have to stay here for the next few days to observe everyone's condition and adjust the antidote."

Old Li looked embarrassed and said, "Girl, it's not that we don't want to, but our village never allows outsiders to stay overnight."

Ye Wenjing hurriedly said, "Uncle Li, we are also trying to completely cure everyone's poison and ensure that it does not recur. You see, this concerns everyone's life."

Old Li hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at his family, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, in order to detoxify and save your life, I will clean up the house for you."

Jiang Lingyin quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much, Uncle Li for your hard work."

Old Li's wife said, "I'll prepare lunch for you, but we don't have much good food in this rural area."

Ye Wenjing replied: "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. It's okay if you have a stutter."

After a while, lunch was ready and everyone sat together.

Jiang Lingyin asked: "Uncle Li, can you tell us more about what happened in the village back then?"

Old Li sighed: "Alas, that was twenty years ago, and it was a big fuss at the time."

Ye Wenjing then asked: "What is the specific situation?"

Old Li said as he ate: "That girl insisted on looking for our ancestral treasure. We tried to stop her, so she got into a conflict with us."

Jiang Lingyin asked again: "What exactly does the treasure look like?"

Old Li shook his head: "We haven't seen it either. It's just a rumor passed down from our ancestors that only the village chief has seen it. It concerns the lives of all our villagers, so we can't let it go unnoticed."

Ye Wenjing thought thoughtfully: "Is it because of this that she poisoned everyone?"

Old Li was silent for a while: "We don't know the reason, but our village chief said that she came here for the village treasure."

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing looked at each other and knew that they had to continue investigating in order to find out the truth.

After lunch, Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing began to discuss the next investigation plan.

Jiang Lingyin whispered, "I think we can't just listen to what Old Li's family says. We have to ask other villagers."

Ye Wenjing nodded in agreement: "That's right, but the people in this village seem to be very taboo about this matter, I'm afraid it's not easy to ask."

Jiang Lingyin thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we start with some older people? Only they can know more. We can ask them first and then verify each other's information."

Ye Wenjing said: "Okay, let's go to the village first."

The two came to Uncle Liu's house, and Uncle Liu was basking in the sun in the yard.

Jiang Lingyin said politely: "Hello, uncle, we want to ask you something."

Uncle Liu looked up at them and said nothing.

Ye Wenjing quickly said, "Master, it's about the woman who came to the village twenty years ago."

Uncle Liu's face changed and he waved his hand: "Don't ask me, I don't know."

Jiang Lingyin said hurriedly: "Uncle, we have no ill intentions, we just want to find out what happened back then."

Uncle Liu was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "That was a past that I cannot bear to look back on. Why do you have to dig into the details?"

Ye Wenjing said sincerely: "Uncle, this concerns the safety of many people. Please tell us. As long as we find out the whole story of that woman, I promise to cure the curse of Xiangyun Village and detoxify everyone. You will never have to suffer from illness again."

Uncle Liu sighed, "Well, that woman came here for the treasure. It is said that the treasure can make people immortal."

Jiang Lingyin was surprised and said, "Immortality? How is that possible?"

Uncle Liu shook his head: "Who knows? Anyway, everyone in the village spreads this message, and our village chief also said so."

Ye Wenjing asked: "What happened next?"

Uncle Liu went on to say: "Later, the woman had a conflict with the villagers and injured several people. Then she ran away. Later, I heard that everyone in the village was poisoned. The village chief said that she had cursed our village."

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing frowned as they listened. Things seemed to be more complicated than they had imagined.

Jiang Lingyin asked doubtfully, "So this woman never came back after she ran away?"

Uncle Liu shook his head: "I haven't seen him since."

Ye Wenjing pondered for a moment and asked again: "Master, did this woman come alone or with a companion?"

Uncle Liu tried to recall: "It seems that she was alone at the beginning, but later she was not alone. There was a man with her, and his surname seemed to be Jiang."

Jiang Lingyin guessed that the man with the surname Jiang might be her adoptive father Jiang Yuanchan who was far away in Beijing.

Jiang Lingyin continued, "Master, do you know where this woman came from?"

Uncle Liu sighed: "I don't know, I just know that she suddenly appeared in our village."

Ye Wenjing bowed and said, "Thank you for telling me this, sir. Sorry to bother you."

The two left Uncle Liu's house and continued visiting the village.

Ye Wenjing said: "This matter is getting more and more confusing. A woman clashed with the entire village for a treasure that could make people immortal, whose authenticity was unknown. She also poisoned the village and then disappeared."

Jiang Lingyin nodded and said, "Yes, there must be some information in here that we don't know."

At this time, a young villager passed by, saw them, looked nervous, and hurried away.

Jiang Lingyin hurriedly called him: "Young man, wait a moment."

But the villager ran even faster.

Ye Wenjing said: "It seems that this villager has something to hide."

Jiang Lingyin said: "Let's follow and see."

The two men quietly followed the villager and saw him enter a dilapidated house.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were outside the house listening to the noise inside.

All I heard was the villager saying, "Dad, those two people have been asking about what happened 20 years ago. What should I do?"

An old voice said, "Don't worry about them. What happened back then must never be told to anyone."

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing looked at each other.

Something fishy...
