Chapter 706 The Building Where a Murder Occurred
The aunt and niece then went into the bathroom to do their thing, leaving Ye Wanxi and the other woman outside to receive a feast of delicious food.
Sitting next to Ye Wanxi, Feng's mother's eyes didn't linger on the large table of dishes in front of her. Instead, she kept craning her neck to look towards the bathroom.
It felt like a kitten had entered my heart, scratching and scratching with its paws, I was incredibly curious.
"Wanxi, does your ointment really work?"
"It really works, you'll see in a moment."
Unlike the medicinal mud she had made before, the ointment Ye Wanxi had just given out was a genuine healing medicine.
The types of medicinal materials used are more numerous than those used in the previous medicinal mud, and most of them are now extinct, meaning that if you want to use them again, you can probably only rely on planting your own spiritual plants.
However, this thing is simple to make and is used quite often. In her previous life, she would make some to give to her senior brothers and sisters who went on missions when she was bored. Her third senior brother would sometimes make some and give them to her as well. Right now, she estimated that she still had about a thousand or eight hundred bottles in her storage ring, and she probably wouldn't need to replenish them in the short term.
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, a gasp came from inside the restroom.
Mrs. Feng jumped to her feet, rushing forward while shouting, "What happened? What happened? What's going on?"
Feng's mother's exclamation stopped abruptly as she stared in astonishment at the healed scar on Qiu Linshan's hand.
Just a few minutes ago, she had blisters on her hands that looked like they could burst and ooze pus at any moment. Now, although she still has ugly burn scars, at least they're not so... disgusting anymore.
Ye Wanxi walked behind Feng's mother, arriving a step later. Upon seeing this, she only asked, "Is it all applied?"
"……not yet."
"Try to apply the ointment to all areas that can be covered, and don't miss any, so that any areas that haven't been treated can then spread the infection to areas that have already been treated, and all your previous efforts will be wasted."
"OK!"
After Ye Wanxi finished speaking, she pulled Feng Mama away. Madam Qiu hurriedly picked up the ointment that she had dropped on the ground in her surprise.
Fortunately, the cap closed automatically when the ointment hit the ground; otherwise, she would have been heartbroken to have spilled this "miracle drug."
Because of Ye Wanxi's instruction, the two lingered in the restroom for another ten minutes before coming out.
At this moment, Ye Wanxi and Feng's mother had finished their bowls of sweet soup outside and were each eating a bowl of claypot rice.
When the aunt and niece came out, the two were stunned for a moment, because Qiu Linshan was no longer wearing a headscarf, revealing her face covered with burn scars.
Fortunately, although Qiu Linshan had burns on her face, she must have had timely post-operative repair. Her face shape and features were not distorted by the burns, and you can still vaguely see her original appearance. However, such a large area of scars is still a bit scary at first glance, and it is basically impossible for her to be a star now.
The two were stunned for only a moment. Ye Wanxi casually pushed the rock sugar bird's nest she had ordered earlier in front of Qiu Linshan and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Qiu Linshan shook her head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Let's eat something to fill our stomachs first. This restaurant's cooking skills are really good, and everything is quite delicious."
Qiu Linshan stared at the bowl of bird's nest soup for a long time before picking up her spoon and eating it bite by bite.
With each bite, her eyes reddened, not from sadness, but from joy.
Since her injury, even eating has become an ordeal for her. No matter how delicious or tender the food is, once it enters her throat, it feels like burning embers, roasting her internal organs.
To this end, Qiu Linshan also tried intravenous nutrient solution, but the effect was even more disastrous than eating it directly.
She would die if she didn't eat, but eating made her life a living hell. If it weren't for the things she still cared about in this world, Qiu Linshan probably would have long since succumbed to this long suffering and ended her life in despair.
This was the sweetest and most delicious soup she had drunk in recent years. There was no tormenting pain, no unbearable suffering, only familiar sweetness and fragrance, enough for her to savor for a lifetime.
After Qiu Linshan finished her bowl of soup, Ye Wanxi put down her chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "Now, let's talk about the fire from back then, and the injuries on your body."
"You just mentioned the punishment of evil spirits. Why would the crew suddenly bring up ghosts and gods? Before the fire, did anything else happen on your set?"
After eating, Qiu Linshan calmed down considerably. She carefully recalled what had happened and nodded, saying, "Before the fire, the crew did experience several strange incidents."
"for example?"
“An extra was going up the stairs alone when he suddenly missed a step and hit his head, almost killing himself. When he woke up, he kept saying that someone had pushed him from behind.”
"One of the props staff members finished packing up the props at night and was about to go home when he found that the door to the prop room was locked. He was trapped all night and almost froze to death. But in fact, the door was not locked at all. When the other staff members arrived the next day, they pushed it open."
"And then there were a few times when the crew filmed late into the night. The last crew member to leave always said he heard strange footsteps on set, which terrified him. Later..."
The two women listening nearby felt a chill run down their spines, but couldn't help asking out of curiosity, "What happened next?"
"Later, the crew went around asking around and eventually found out that a murder had occurred in the old building where our crew was filming."
Mrs. Feng gasped: "What murder case?"
"It's said that a professor in his early forties suspected his wife of having an affair, leaving early and returning late every day. During an argument, he beat her to death and then bricked her body into the wall. It wasn't discovered until almost ten years later. After that, the people in the building gradually moved out, and the building became an empty building. And the movie we were filming at the time just happened to need such an empty building."
Mrs. Qiu's face turned ashen: "Didn't your director learn about the building before buying it? How dare you use a building like this!"
Qiu Linshan's expression was somewhat subtle: "This building has been vacant for many years. The owner probably didn't inform us beforehand in order to sell it. In addition, it's said that the asking price was very low at the time..."
It would have been better if Qiu Linshan hadn't brought this up; the mention of it only made Madam Qiu angrier: "He'll buy it just because the offer is low? Doesn't he ever think about why the offer is low? Why would a perfectly good company sell you a building for charity? Do you think it's so easy to get a bargain in this world? He's always thinking about easy money, but in the end, it's his own people who will suffer."
“That makes sense,” Mrs. Feng chimed in. “The person in charge of your film crew is too short-sighted. He only saw the low price of the building and didn’t even know the ‘secrets’ that you could ask people in the neighborhood. Yet he dared to take you to that place so casually. It’s ridiculous.”
