Don't panic, don't panic. Xixi has secretly replaced the antidote; the uncles will be fine.
Xixi noticed that Grandma Zhu looked a little flustered, so she quickly reached out and grabbed her clothes, letting out a soft, babbling laugh.
When Grandma Zhu sensed Xixi's little movements, she looked down curiously and a doting smile appeared on her face.
Even the anxious and frustrated Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Xixi had replaced the antidote.
A moment later, Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang came out of the isolation room and sat down in front of the fire with a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhu quickly asked the two men, "Lord Chen, Manager Wang, how is the situation now?"
"After taking the antidote, the team members' complexions improved. However, the fact that the team members were poisoned before even entering the city raises the question: should we investigate the cause of this?"
Chen Xiang pretended to be troubled and sighed repeatedly, clenching his hands tightly as he expressed his worries.
The reason he said this was that after learning about the problems in Hengyang Town, he did not intend to go to the city.
The situation inside is still unknown; if one blindly goes in, one's life may be in danger.
Grandma Zhu knew the cause of the poisoning, but she couldn't reveal it, otherwise it would surely arouse suspicion from others.
So she could only sigh and nod in agreement with Chen Xiang, "Could it be that we accidentally ate something?"
"Could it be a problem with the well outside the courtyard?"
Wang Haocheng was still thinking about how to persuade Grandma Zhu and the others not to go to the city when he overheard their discussion.
He also pretended to look serious and nodded as he joined in.
"Could it be related to Hengyang Town? I suggest we observe the entry and exit situation in Hengyang Town tomorrow."
"If everything is normal, we will follow the people into the city. If something is strange, then we will need to discuss the next steps."
Chen Xiang had been waiting for Wang Haocheng's words to support his suggestion, and he had no choice but to clap his hands in agreement.
"I agree, Manager Wang's suggestion is excellent."
Grandma Zhu nodded with her lips pursed. Now all that was needed was an opportunity for everyone to discover that something strange was going on in Hengyang Town.
"Okay, everyone get some rest. We'll see how things go tomorrow and decide on the next step."
Having decided on tomorrow's plans, everyone prepared for bed, each with their own thoughts on the matter.
Grandma Zhu, also preoccupied, carried Xixi back to her room and curiously looked around the room in search of the white tiger.
"Honey, have you seen the white cat? It's still injured. Why is it running around like that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white tiger jumped out of the Xixi Space and slowly walked out from the dark corner.
Hearing the sound, Grandma Zhu turned around and saw the white tiger making a meowing sound. She pretended to be angry and picked it up.
He took a blanket from beside him and covered it with it, stroking its fur as he spoke.
"Are you hungry? Grandma will make you some mutton."
The white tiger frowned in disdain and let out a protesting meow.
"Oh, Grandma, the White Tiger is a mythical beast that only eats vegetables and not meat."
If you feed it meat, its divine power will disappear.
Grandma Zhu dared to put two pieces of meat in her bowl, and then she heard Xixi muttering to herself, especially after she learned that the kitten in her arms was a mythical beast.
Her expression changed drastically instantly. She nervously swallowed and looked down at the white tiger rubbing against her.
Is this white cat a mythical beast? Or even a deity?
Their ancestors have shown their power; it must be because their family is blessed with great fortune that so many gods are protecting them.
Thinking of this, she quickly put the meat into the pot and pulled out a few potatoes from the fire.
After peeling the potatoes, place them in a bowl. Then, on the ground, respectfully carry the white tiger to the bowl.
Seeing the white tiger's flattered expression, Xi Xi's eyes crinkled with joy as she yawned and laughed.
She drifted off to sleep again.
Once back in her space, Xixi began planning to move all of Zhu Yanyan's important belongings over.
However, as she stared at the projection wall, she noticed a strange black dot flash by in Zhu Yanyan's space.
The more she looked, the more curious she became, so she leaned closer to the screen, and ended up practically leaping into it.
After entering the scene, Xixi's body became light and floated in mid-air.
She stared blankly at the familiar space before her, her mind a complete void.
Is this Zhu Yanyan's space?
Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Zhu Yanyan's footsteps all around her.
Just as she was about to run away, she heard Zhu Yanyan's terrified screams all around her.
"It's you? Zhu Xixi, so you're the thief who stole my supplies?"
Xi Xi nervously turned her head slowly to look at Zhu Yan Yan, and met her face full of scars.
She was instantly terrified and burst into tears.
Hearing her daughter scream and cry, Liu, who was still asleep, quickly got up from her bed to check on her.
Xixi, who was originally in the space, left the space instantly after crying, looking around at everything with a flushed face and sobbing.
Old Mrs. Zhu was also startled awake by Xixi's crying. She quickly got up from the ground and went to Liu's side to check on her.
"What's wrong with Xixi?"
"It's nothing, maybe you were just having a nightmare."
After Liu got up from the haystack, she gently swayed her body and answered softly.
Just as she turned her head, she saw a hideous and terrifying face outside the window, and she immediately screamed.
"Mother, outside the window."
Hearing the sound, Old Lady Zhu turned around and looked out the window, only to find that there was no one there.
Just then, Chen Xiang suddenly entered the room, looked at Old Lady Zhu, and whispered something.
"Grandma Zhu, an old woman says she's looking for you."
"An old woman?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhu immediately became alert, took off her cotton-padded coat, and quickly walked outside.
She went outside and opened the door to check. There stood an old woman with a full head of white hair and a face covered with yellow spots. She was smiling and greeting her.
"Girl, you're awake?"
Old Mrs. Zhu walked around behind Granny Wang and saw a little girl with her head wrapped in a towel standing behind her.
The girl's height and build were similar to Zhu Yanyan's appearance, recalling Xixi's earlier reminder.
She smiled and walked out from behind the door, coming to Wang Pozi and saying...
"Hey, big sister! So early, what's up?"
"I just want to ask you what time you're going into the city, so I can bring my granddaughter with me."
Wang Pozi did not notice the wary look on Zhu Laotai's face and asked in a gentle tone.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhu looked up at the sky and realized that it was already noon, but the city gate of Hengyang Town, not far away, was still tightly closed.
Thinking of this, she could only point to the city gate and say, "The city gate is not open. We'll have to see when it opens."
These words instantly turned Granny Wang's face cold. After a moment of contemplation, she smiled and offered her suggestion.
"Girl, why don't we sneak into the city? After all, we don't have any food supplies outside, and the poisoning of those young men is very strange. It might be related to the well outside the courtyard. What if everyone gets poisoned and I don't have the antidote?"
