"Miss Lu, it's so good to have you here!"
“My older brother is about to cut himself with a knife. Everyone in the village says he’s been possessed by an evil spirit after going down into the deep pool. You should go and check on him.”
When Zhao Xiaodong saw Lu Qiqi, he ran over, panting heavily, and said a lot of repetitive things.
"It's like one problem after another," Lu Qiqi said. "Take me to see."
Outside the ancestral hall.
Lu Da held a dagger in his hand and was about to slit his own throat when several young villagers rushed to stop him.
Soon, the group was lying on the ground, wrestling with each other.
Several hands held Lu Da's hand tightly, preventing him from hurting himself.
Even though Lu Da was the strongest among them, he couldn't fight off four opponents in one round, and soon the dagger he was holding fell to the ground.
The dagger struck the ground with a clang.
When Lu Qiqi arrived, she witnessed this scene.
"Get me a rope and tie him up!" Lu Qiqi shouted.
The villagers who were standing outside the ancestral hall and dared not step forward to stop him heard Lu Qiqi's words and some of them ran back to the ancestral hall to get ropes.
With the rope found, and with the help of several villagers holding Lu Da back, Lu Qiqi quickly tied him up.
Several villagers released Lu Da, who was bound by ropes and unable to move, but still struggled fiercely.
"Let me go, let me go, let me die... Please let me die!"
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
Finally, Lu Da began to shout to the sky, his piercing voice resonating in everyone's ears.
When Lu Da had completely run out of energy, a middle-aged man came out of the ancestral hall.
Lian Ge, holding a basin in both hands, strode towards Lu Da.
As I passed by Lu Qiqi, there was a small basin of dark red liquid that emitted a strong smell of blood.
Lu Qiqi instantly realized what was in the basin!
Before she could even speak to stop him, Brother Lian raised the wooden basin and splashed it hard at Lu Da.
In an instant, Lu Da was splashed all over his head and face, and his whole body turned red.
Lu Da, splattered with dark red dog blood, had blood trickling down his head and dripping onto the ground, a truly horrifying sight.
Looking at the bloodied Lu Da, Lu Qiqi felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through her heart.
Then, Sister-in-law Lian took out a wooden basin.
Lu Qiqi almost reflexively went over to the wooden basin as soon as she saw it.
Fearing that one bowl of dog blood wouldn't be enough for Brother Lian, he prepared another bowl to replenish Lu Da's blood.
This time, however, the contents of the basin were quite different. It contained only some clear water, steaming from the top, and a pomelo branch.
"Young lady, don't block my way!" Sister-in-law Lian said anxiously as Lu Qiqi blocked her path.
Seeing that things were not going well, Li Changlong quickly pulled Lu Qiqi aside. Taking advantage of the gap, Sister-in-law Lian bypassed Lu Qiqi and walked to Brother Lian's side.
"Qiqi, they are performing an exorcism; you mustn't interrupt them," Li Changlong quickly explained, fearing that Lu Qiqi would try to stop them again.
Lu Qiqi was speechless. Lu Da had just gone down into the deep pool last night, and his disease had not yet healed, and he was also greatly weakened.
Now they're even using dog blood and grapefruit juice, smearing it all over him.
Are you sure this isn't someone seeking revenge?
Brother Lian put down the blood basin and picked up the pomelo water basin.
Just when Lu Qiqi thought that Brother Lian was going to splash some water on Lu Da to wash off the blood,
Lian Ge took a pomelo branch from the basin, dipped it in some water, and sprinkled it on Lu Da.
Then, while sprinkling grapefruit juice, he muttered to himself.
Lu Qiqi strained her ears to listen carefully before she could understand what Brother Lian was saying.
"Demons and monsters, leave quickly! Demons and monsters, leave quickly!"
Lu Qiqi, "..."
Lu Da was already stunned by the bucket of dog blood, and sat there in a daze. Fortunately, Brother Lian finished his 'ritual' quickly.
"Alright," Brother Lian handed the wooden basin to Sister-in-law Lian and said, "Xiao Dong, just help your brother wash up and he'll be fine."
"Yes!" Zhao Xiaodong responded and quickly loosened Lu Da's rope.
Lu Qiqi almost laughed in anger when she heard their conversation.
If every disease in the world could be solved in this way, then what would be the point of having doctors?
Lu Da was pulled away by Zhao Xiaodong, and Lu Qiqi was exhausted after watching the farce.
But now is not the time to rest; the revised prescription has not yet been sent out of the village to be handed over to the soldiers.
The letter I sent with Wangcai last night has still not received a response.
What happened to the nine people who dived into the deep pool – are they dead or alive?
What was in the deep pool that caused Lu Da such a terrible headache, almost costing him his life?
A series of unpleasant things piled up, and Lu Qiqi could only tackle them one by one.
Doctor Luo prepared the prescription last night, and I originally intended to have Zhao Xiaodong deliver it today.
Watching Zhao Xiaodong help Lu Da walk away, Lu Qiqi knew that she had to go herself to handle this matter.
"Second brother, go help Zhou Yi. Without Zhao Xiaodong and the others to help with the medicine preparation, the remaining few people might not be able to handle it."
"I'll go to the village entrance and deliver the prescription there."
After giving her instructions, Lu Qiqi headed towards the village entrance, running in the opposite direction from Li Changlong.
Upon reaching the village entrance, Lu Qiqi blew her whistle again, and soon after, Wangcai darted out from the bushes.
As Wangcai approached, Lu Qiqi noticed that Wangcai was carrying a letter in its mouth.
Could it be that Wangcai failed in his mission last night and didn't deliver the letter to the soldiers?
Where did the dozen or so villagers who escaped from Tianxin Village go?
Lu Qiqi took the envelope from Wangcai's mouth.
There was nothing on the envelope. Lu Qiqi raised an eyebrow and looked down at Wangcai, whose big, bright eyes were wide open. This was not the letter she had asked Wangcai to deliver.
When I opened the letter, there was only a blank sheet of paper inside, with no writing on it.
Looking at the blank paper, Lu Qiqi understood that the person she had entrusted with the task would help.
She can rest assured now.
"Good job, Wangcai! You did a great job. Here's your reward: go into the space to catch fish and roll around in the grass."
After Lu Qiqi finished speaking, she put Wangcai into her spatial dimension and let it run wild inside.
There was still one important thing to do: to hand over the prescription to the officers and soldiers.
As required, all that was needed was to place the prescription downstairs at the gate, and soldiers would come to collect it themselves.
Of course, this is the official statement. Lu Qiqi knew that Lu Da and the others definitely did not do it that way, otherwise the medicine would never have arrived so promptly.
Lu Qiqi had no idea how they delivered the prescription.
The previous course of treatment was only halfway through, and the ingredients for this course of treatment also need some time to be prepared; it can't be rushed.
Lu Qiqi placed the prescription under the gate tower at the entrance of the village and took the opportunity to look over the fence, hoping to find some clues.
Unfortunately, apart from the addition of armored soldiers, the area outside the fence was no different from usual.
After arranging the prescription properly, Lu Qiqi did not see the person she was looking for, so she did not linger and returned to the village.
