I stared intently at Master Jin again and shouted sternly.

"Tell me, how exactly do we wake Brother Luo up?"

Jin Ye's face instantly turned extremely ugly, turning pale and then flushed, and his eyes darted around.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally stammered out his words.

"You... go and get a black cat that has just died, take its heart, use the black cat's blood to draw a Bagua diagram on Luo Tianhe's forehead, then put the heart on his chest, and he will wake up in an hour."

Sure enough, this old man wasn't honest before! He was completely different from what he said before.

Fortunately, I was prepared and avoided his trick.

I immediately pressed further, "What would happen if we did it the way you initially suggested?"

Jin Ye's eyes darted around, his pupils darting about, and his lips murmured, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.

Big Bear was already furious.

Seeing that Master Jin was stammering, and knowing that there was a problem with the method he had mentioned before, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and raised the iron rod to strike Master Jin directly.

The iron rod struck Jin Ye squarely on the back.

Jin cried out in pain, nearly falling to the ground.

After being hit twice with a stick, Master Jin became completely obedient.

With a mournful face and a trembling voice, he said, "If you do as I say, he... he will fall into an even deeper coma, and after forty-nine days, his soul will be scattered!"

Upon hearing this, Big Bear's eyes instantly turned red with rage, like a raging bull, and he was about to swing his stick again.

I quickly reached out to stop him: "Don't be impulsive, the most important thing now is to save Brother Luo."

I looked at the unconscious Luo Tianhe, then turned to look at Master Jin, who was tightly chained up.

"Now, tell me honestly, how exactly are you going to save him! If you try anything funny, you know what will happen!"

Jin Ye's face was gloomy, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Damn it, I'll teach you to talk!"

Big Bear swung the stick at him again.

"Oh! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Jin Ye winced in pain: "Go get a bunch of fresh mugwort and find a clean earthenware pot."

I dared not delay for a moment and sent Big Bear and the others to search the nearby wilderness.

"I'll go! Let Big Bear guard here, just in case this old man isn't honest."

Swallows rushed out the door.

Soon, the swallow returned, panting, carrying the mugwort.

Is this it?

I handed it to Mr. Jin.

Jinye looked at the mugwort and nodded: "Put the mugwort into an earthenware pot, add well water, and then simmer it over a fire."

I started to worry. Where could I find well water now? There might not even be a well in the village.

I mean, where am I supposed to get well water in this short time? Is there anything that can replace well water?

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin shook his head without hesitation, his face showing no sign of wavering, and said firmly.

"No! This well water comes from deep underground and has absorbed the earth's spiritual energy. The water is clear and cold, and it cannot be replaced by any other water. Only by using it to boil the mugwort can we bring out the mugwort's maximum efficacy, which is crucial for saving your brother."

At this moment, the monkey scratched its head and quickly said, "My grandma's house is not far from here. There is a well in her house, which is usually used to pump water to supply solar energy. I can drive there and it will only take about ten minutes round trip."

I turned to look at Master Jin and asked him with my eyes if this method would work.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Jin nodded slightly: "As long as the water is drawn from underground, there's no problem."

Although Mr. Jin spoke eloquently, I always felt that the old man had ulterior motives and was subtly trying to stall for time.

Just in case, I quickly walked over to Jin Ye, snatched his cell phone and other communication devices from the side, and put them in my pocket.

Then he squatted down and carefully inspected the chains binding Master Jin, checking every single link to ensure there was nothing loose or abnormal.

Even so, I still felt uneasy, and images of Jin Ye possibly cheating kept flashing through my mind.

After hesitating for a moment, I gritted my teeth, turned around and gave instructions to Da Xiong and A Biao.

"Strip this old bastard naked!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ye's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What are you doing? There are women here! You can't treat me like this!"

Big Bear didn't care about anything else. He already hated Master Jin to the core. When he heard my order, he grabbed the iron rod next to him without saying a word and lashed Master Jin's leg hard.

"You old fool, stop talking nonsense!"

Yanzi stood to the side, arms crossed, a cold smile on her face, her expression full of disdain.

"I've probably seen more men than you've ever held chopsticks, so stop pretending!"

Despite Jin Ye's resistance, he was eventually stripped naked by the crowd's firm stance.

Ah Biao showed no mercy, not even leaving Jin Ye his underwear.

Jin Ye sat in the chair, feeling both ashamed and angry, his face flushed red.

I reckon he's even contemplating killing me right now.

Twenty minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and the monkey ran in, covered in sweat, carrying a transparent jar filled with clear well water.

"I'm finally back. This well water should be usable, right?"

I took the jar, looked at the well water inside, and then at Jin Ye, who was in a sorry state in the corner.

"Can this be used?" I handed it to Mr. Jin to look at.
