Shen Hua approached the little girl, patted her on the shoulder, and said.

"Don't worry, I'm just looking, I won't charge you."

"Really? Thank you."

Zhongwazi happily led Shenhua inside, but upon seeing the thin, frail old man who was barely breathing, Shenhua was at a loss for words.

The little girl looked to be about six or seven years old, so her grandmother shouldn't be too old. But to my surprise, the old woman had gray hair and a face full of wrinkles; she was almost ninety years old.

Shen Hua even wondered if the old man might pass away before she could even examine his health.

"Hey kid, how old is your grandma?"

Shen Hua decided to find out the age first! If it was someone who had died of old age, there was no need to look at it, and there was no point in forcibly saving him, since his age was already there.

Even those who cultivate, if their appearance becomes like this and they still haven't broken through, can only perish.

"Sister, Grandma is forty-six years old this year."

Chen Hua: ...

She was so young before, it's really abnormal that she looks like this now.

After learning the old man's age, Shen Hua went to take his pulse.

"Little girl, what are you doing with Zhongwazi?"

The old man asked weakly.

Given their situation, she couldn't let others be implicated, so she persisted, simply because she couldn't bear to leave her child alone.

She was afraid that if she left, some people in the village would try to take advantage of the child.

However, she was also acutely aware of her physical condition and felt extremely powerless.

"Nanny, the older sister is a good person. She's here to check on you. Don't talk for now, conserve your energy."

The boy held the old man's hand and kept talking.

Shen Hua gently placed her hand slightly above Zhongwazi's grandmother's wrist. As soon as she probed with her spiritual energy, she sensed the old woman's dilapidated body.

If she hadn't seen it herself, she would have seriously doubted that the old man would have lived more than a month. The fact that he had lived this long truly showed that the old man had an extremely strong will to survive.

Her heart was not functioning well; it was beating very slowly. However, after examining her, Shen Hua felt that this condition did not seem like a common illness.

No matter how tired you are, it's impossible for you to become like this.

The old man looked as if something had drained his life force.

However, this was just her guess; she did not find any other traces of something else touching the old man.

After injecting a little spiritual energy into her body, Shen Hua stood up.

"Sister, how is my grandma's health?"

"Children, I know my own body. You don't need to worry too much. Don't waste your time on me."

“It’s alright if I leave, but Grandma is worried about you, Zhongwazi. Villagers aren’t allowed to leave the village, and many people are still single. You’re so young, Grandma is worried about you.”

These words successfully brought tears to the eyes of both of them.

Shen Hua watched from the side, waiting for him to finish catching up and see how they viewed the matter.

Shen Hua, however, felt that the old man might not necessarily die. As long as the source of the village's strangeness was found, there was still a glimmer of hope.

However, they are native villagers, and if I were to speak directly, I might alert them.

“Zhongwazi, your grandmother’s condition is not good. It would be best for her to rest and recuperate, and perhaps she can live a little longer.”

After Shen Hua finished speaking, she walked out. She didn't need them to make any promises to her, after all, it was their business, and she was just a stranger to them.

"Sister, wait a minute."
