Chapter 337 [Witch]

Jiang Lili flicked her sleeves, frowning, "Take Xiaolu with you. The envoy and I will go with you to see what's going on with this strange situation at the temple ruins."

When the Moon Clan members present heard that the goddess was going with them, they instantly felt more confident.

Lu Renjia was brought to Jiang Lili by Wen Qiao. She and Jiang Lili looked at each other and nodded to show that she was ready.

After Xin Che appeared, Jiang Lili raised her hand and said, "Let's set off."

Jedda blew the horn, and accompanied by the majestic sound of the horn, a group of people marched towards the temple ruins with great momentum.

Jiang Lili led the Moon Clan to the valley behind the temple ruins.

It was almost noon, but the sky was still dark.

There was a thick layer of clouds on the top of the mountain, and a drizzle was falling from the sky. However, the amount of rain did not affect the journey, but it made people feel a little depressed and irritable.

The Moon Tribe members who had left the tribe had already arrived a while ago. They had already placed various offerings and ritual vessels beside the large rocks that had fallen behind the temple. The most eye-catching of these was a large bronze cauldron.

More than ten people knelt in front of the fallen rocks, kowtowed to the ground and prayed, muttering something.

Yue Ning, whom Jiang Lili had met before, was standing aside with a spear in his hand.

Seeing them coming in such a large group, Yue Ning's gaze first fell on Lu Renjia, his brows full of worry. After hesitating for a moment, he said a few words to an old woman sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The old woman seemed to be the priest of this ritual. She had silver hair, a red mole between her eyebrows, and a dignified face.

After Yue Ning finished talking to her, she opened her eyes and glanced at Jiang Lili and Jida, then stood up with the help of her wooden crutch, and came to them with the help of Yue Ning and another young man from the Moon Clan.

Jiang Lili observed the mother-in-law's walking posture and found that her gait was abnormal, she walked with a limp, her steps were not very balanced, and her brows were severely wrinkled after every few steps. She guessed that she might have rheumatism, which was more obvious when it rained than usual.

The old woman raised her calm eyelids slightly and glanced at Lu Renjia: "Are you finally willing to bring the person here?"

Lu Renjia's hair stood on end when he saw her murderous look.

Granny Yan turned her gaze to Jiang Lili, her brows furrowed even more. She said to Jida in a blaming tone, "Who are these foreigners? How dare you bring them into our camp and easily expose our address? Aren't you afraid that she will bring her men to attack us?"

Jida explained to her in a gentle voice: "Grandma Yan, this is a goddess with great magical powers. My sister was bitten by a bamboo snake, and it was the goddess who cured her."

"goddess?"

Granny Yan looked at Jiang Lili with an increasingly unfriendly gaze: "She's a goddess, how come I didn't see that?"

"She looks more like a witch!"

She snorted coldly at Jida, "You said she cured the snake venom? Even I can't cure the venom of the bamboo leaf green snake. Are you sure she's not using some kind of witchcraft to keep Jiya alive?"

Jiang Lili knew very well that the people in these primitive tribes, especially the older generation, were very resistant to outsiders. "Whether he's cured or not, you'll know when you go back to the tribe and take a look."

She glanced at Granny Yan's knees: "I can help you relieve the pain in your knees now."

"Do your knees hurt when it rains, like ants biting them?"

Before Granny Yan could speak, Yue Ning nodded frantically, "Yes!"

Sure enough, his intuition was right. The first time he saw her, he felt that she had the same temperament as Xiaolu, and was different from all of them, so he gave her the bracelet made by Xiaolu. Now seeing Xiaolu following Jiang Lili closely, he guessed that the two must have a connection.

Yue Ning almost had the words "I am a friendly force" written on his face.

After being hit on the head by Jiang Lili, Granny Yan was slightly startled, then said unhappily, "This is an old problem that everyone in our tribe has in their old age. You can describe it so accurately, you must have already learned about it from Jedda and the others."

However, when Jida and Yue Ning heard that Jiang Lili had a solution, they hurriedly asked Jiang Lili: "Goddess, do you really have a way to relieve the pain in my mother-in-law's joints?"

Jiang Lili took out a plaster for rheumatic pain from her sleeve. It was the latest special ointment carefully selected by Xiaopang and distributed by the organization.

She had originally prepared it for Zhaoping Hou and his wife, intending to bring it to them on her return trip, but she didn't expect it to come in handy here.

Jiang Lili noticed that the young man named Yue Ning was leaning towards them, so she handed the plaster to him and said, "Just put this plaster on your knee and it will relieve the pain."

Yue Ning immediately said to her mother-in-law in a filial manner: "Grandma, please sit down and I will put it on for you."

Granny Yan immediately protested, "No! Who knows if this patch is poisonous?"

Jida earnestly advised: "Mother-in-law, you must believe that the goddess will not harm you!"

Yue Ning also assisted: "Granny, give it a try. With so many of us here, nothing will go wrong. They don't dare to do anything because they are too few in number. We can do something about it!"

Wen Qiao's mouth twitched at the side. Although she couldn't understand the chatter of these Yue people, she could tell that the mother-in-law thought Jiang Lili wanted to harm her.

There is no need for them to harm the old lady. What's the point? The old lady doesn't even have the minimum living allowance.

She couldn't help but sigh in the group chat: [My good intentions are being humiliated. Li Li, forget it. Let's get straight to the point and dig up the coal!]

@Jiang Lili: Don't worry. Xiaolu finally found this coal mine, so of course we need to maximize its effectiveness.

Those Moon Clan members who were praying had already noticed the movements on Granny Yan's side. They thought that Jiang Lili and Jida were bullying Granny Yan, so they all picked up their weapons, stood up, and rushed towards Jiang Lili in a menacing manner.

"What are you doing?"

Yue Ning and Ji Da hurriedly explained to everyone: "It's raining, and Grandma's knees hurt badly. The patch given by the goddess can cure it. Let's persuade Grandma to try it."

"Goddess? This goddess seems to be in cahoots with that demon girl Xiaolu. How dare you use her things?"

One of the tall and strong middle-aged men immediately tried to snatch the plaster from Yue Ning's hand and destroy it.

The scene became noisy, and Jiang Lili spoke up at the right time, asking Xin Che to stop everyone.

Her voice was detached and calm: "Since mother-in-law doesn't want to use this plaster, then I will find another way to relieve your pain."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili snapped her fingers, and the rain that was originally drizzling in the sky stopped instantly at the moment she snapped her fingers!
