This actually came in handy for Bai Ying.
"Thank you."
Bai Ying raised her eyebrows, took the kettle handed to her by the old lady, took out a painkiller from the medicine box, and put it into the kettle.
The tablets turned into white sediment, and as Bai Ying shook the kettle, the clear water began to become turbid and white.
"It's done! Who wants to try it?"
Bai Ying looked at the people around her.
"this……"
Everyone was hesitant.
Just throwing something in there and making holy water is considered a success? Why are they so unconvinced?
In the past, when the goddess made holy water, she had to offer sacrifices to the heavens and perform rituals, which was a very grand ceremony.
Bai Ying's simple approach made them feel extremely overwhelmed.
Seeing that no one dared to drink the "holy water" she made, Bai Ying frowned slightly and looked unhappy. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and grabbed the man who wanted to beat her but was beaten back by her.
"No! Don't hit me!"
The man covered his head in fear.
Bai Ying found it a little funny and asked, "Does your leg still hurt?"
"Nonsense! I kicked you, doesn't it hurt?" the man complained angrily.
"It's okay as long as it still hurts."
Bai Ying nodded and handed the kettle to the man, "If it hurts, drink all the water in here."
"Who knows what you put in there? What if it's poison? I won't drink it!" the man said stubbornly.
Bai Ying didn't say anything, but just silently raised her leg and compared it with the man's other intact leg.
“…Don’t hit me, I’ll drink.”
The man slid to his knees in an instant, pretending to be ready to die a heroic death, and drank all the water in the canteen in one breath.
"B-and then?"
"Wait."
No matter how people around her questioned her, Bai Ying ignored them and just stood there with her arms folded and her eyes closed to rest.
After about ten minutes, the drug began to take effect...
The man released his hands from covering his legs and said in surprise, "It really, really doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Is this true?"
Everyone looked incredulous.
Without Bai Ying saying anything, the man began to boast to the people around him, "This is really the holy water! I've drunk holy water before, and the holy water this girl made is the same as the one I drank before, with a slight bitter taste, and the effect is the same as the holy water! No, this is the holy water!"
Seeing that Bai Ying could produce pirated magic water with the same effect as the magic water, the people around forgot their little unpleasantness with Bai Ying and shamelessly came to Bai Ying to ask for it.
"Girl, can you make some more holy water for us?"
"Well..."
Bai Ying thought for a moment, then took out the bottle of painkillers from the medicine box and distributed them to everyone. "Actually, it's not the water that's working, it's these pills. You don't need to soak them in water when you take them. Just swallow them directly with water."
"What kind of panacea is this?"
Everyone looked at the small round white pill in their hands in amazement.
Bai Ying explained, "These are painkillers. They reduce fever, relieve pain, and can relieve toothaches, headaches, and other body aches. Your 'Goddess' melts these painkillers in water, and it becomes a 'magic water' that cures all ailments."
"This is actually just the most common Western medicine. It's not some magic potion or gift from heaven. You can buy it with money."
Hearing this, everyone's hands holding the pills began to tremble, and they asked worriedly, "How much does such a powerful medicine cost? It can't be very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive, only a few cents a piece. The county hospital and the commune clinic sell it, and even the brigade clinic sells it. Logically speaking, your goddess used to be a barefoot doctor in the brigade, and the brigade would pay her to buy medicine, so the price would only be cheaper."
Bai Ying explained.
Fortunately, she had worked as a barefoot doctor and was familiar with the profession, otherwise she would not have been able to discover her father-in-law's tricks.
This time, I will definitely beat Yue Zu to death!
As expected, when the people looked at Yue Zu on the high platform, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.
The pills that cost a few cents each turned into a few dollars when the goddess sold them?
On the high platform.
Seeing that her cards were exposed so thoroughly by Bai Ying, Yue Zu said she was not panicking, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "She is lying to you! I prayed to God to send the holy water for you. Do you... believe me or her?"
"us……"
The people looked at Yue Zu and then at Bai Ying, unable to make a decision for a moment.
Bai Ying was not angry. After all, these people had been brainwashed for too long. If they turned around and believed her after she said a few simple words, it would only make things worse.
"Your goddess keeps saying that this is all for you, but open your eyes and look, every brick and tile here was built with your money! Is she enjoying her life for you?"
“…”
Most people pursed their lips.
Yes, they all tightened their belts just to make offerings to the goddess.
But when they went up the mountain, they found that they and the goddess lived in two completely different worlds!
They eat coarse food, while the goddess eats delicious food.
Is the goddess really so selfless?
However, some stubborn villagers still said, "So what! We willingly offer these to the Goddess!"
"Haha," Bai Ying couldn't help laughing, "Are you really willing to do this, or are you worried that if you don't make offerings, you won't get treatment?"
"this……"
After Bai Ying directly pointed out their hidden thoughts, everyone didn't know what to say.
