"Grandma, if you hadn't taken us in, we would have definitely gotten sick!" Bai Ying sat on a small stool, holding a slightly hot porcelain bowl, her eyes full of emotion.
The old lady lowered her voice and said, "Alas, little girl, don't blame the people in our village for being cruel and not taking you in. In fact, we had no choice but to do this."
"Grandma, can you tell me?" Bai Ying asked curiously.
"Logically speaking, our village cannot take in outsiders..."
"Why?"
"That's a long story..."
The old lady said mysteriously, "Because everyone in our village is worried that if the news about the Goddess gets out, she will stop treating the people in our village."
"Uh...ah?"
Bai Ying's expression was hard to describe.
What is the Goddess?
Didn't we destroy this thing during the "Four Olds" campaign a few years ago? How can we still use this to deceive people?
"Grandma, who is the goddess you are talking about...?" Bai Ying asked tentatively.
"The Goddess is the Goddess, I can't say it!"
Although the old lady was old, she was very smart. When she realized that Bai Ying was trying to trick her, she quickly shut her mouth and refused to speak again.

"My husband passed away a few years ago, and my son went to the mountains to serve the Goddess as a high official!"
Speaking of this, the old lady seemed quite proud of it, and her face was full of joy.
Bai Ying: “…”
No matter what you ask the old lady, she will always bring up the magical "Goddess", but when you ask her what the "Goddess" is, the old lady will keep silent.
Is this a ghost wall?
Bai Ying didn't say anything, but the old lady became excited, as if she had thought of something.
"By the way, your sister hasn't woken up yet. She must have been possessed by an evil spirit!" the old lady muttered.
Bai Ying's mouth twitched. "What should we do? Grandma, do you have any ideas?"
"It's okay to be possessed by evil spirits. Once the evil spirits are driven out, everything will be fine..."
The old lady suddenly smiled mysteriously at Bai Ying. "It just so happens that I have a cup of holy water in my room that was given by the goddess. Hurry and give it to your sister!"
