"Really? That's great!" The villagers who were waiting quietly on the side immediately cheered.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "That's great. If we find an antidote, no one will die from the epidemic this time."
"Thanks to Doctor Shang, Doctor Shang is truly a miracle doctor!" The villagers exclaimed sincerely.
“This is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.”
Shang Shuyao said modestly.
***
It was late at night, but the villagers were abnormally not asleep.
Apart from the New Year and Reunion Festival, this was the first time that the villagers of Kimura lit a bonfire late at night, illuminating a corner of the village as bright as day.
Every household opened their doors and flocked to the end of the village.
They stared at the bronze tripod in the central open space at the end of the village, whispering to each other. Although they were excited, they kept a suitable distance and did not get too close rashly.
From a distance, the healthy villagers witnessed the men, women, and children who were infected with the plague drinking the antidote brewed in the bronze tripod one by one.
Even though the effect of the medicine had not yet begun to take effect, everyone who drank the medicine sincerely felt that they had gotten much better due to the psychological effect.
They were waiting with rosy faces for the medicine to take effect.
Shang Shuyao reminded:
"Remember to prepare toilet supplies. There may not be enough toilets in the middle of the night, and you may need to go outside to relieve yourself."
The old man has told the patients ten times how he felt and how the disease went.
Hearing the doctor's reminder, they nodded and said, "Okay."
In the middle of the night, the villagers really felt the urge to defecate. After defecating to their satisfaction, they planned to see a doctor for pulse check the next day.
Their bodies really felt a lot more relaxed, and tonight would be the most peaceful sleep they had ever had since the outbreak of the epidemic.
In the middle of the night, Chu Qi slept restlessly for some unknown reason.
She opened her eyes on the bed and listened carefully to the breathing sounds of Lin Yue and Shang Shuyao next door. It was normal. Maybe she was overthinking it.
She thought to herself that killing someone by memory was indeed different from killing someone personally, and she would definitely go to the temple to worship Buddha when she had time.
Feeling a little thirsty, she got up and poured herself a glass of water.
I opened the window and the bright moonlight shone in.
She was wearing a crescent-shaped white robe, her peach blossom eyes raised, she looked at the moonlight for a while, and suddenly said, "Come out."
After a long while, there was no movement. She frowned and was about to close the window and continue sleeping.
Just then, a woman wearing a blue quicksand skirt with hollow tassels came from outside the window.
Her face was a little blurry.
Chu Qi's excellent eyesight allowed her to see clearly that it was a woman with a somewhat weathered face.
She had an extremely dignified and beautiful appearance, with her hair tied up in a bun. Her steps seemed slow, but in just two breaths, she came close to Chu Qi from twenty meters away.
Chu Qi's pupils shrank slightly. This woman's martial arts skills were definitely above those of a top-notch master.
Even with his top-notch martial arts skills, he couldn't tell her depth.
Chu Qi suspected that the reason why she could feel the other party's presence was because the other party deliberately exposed himself.
"Number 7... maybe I should call you Qi'er?"
The middle-aged woman spoke slowly:
"Zhuang Ya should have told you that you have a mother."
Although Chu Qi seldom looked in the mirror, she remembered her appearance in this life quite clearly, and she was indeed 80% similar to the middle-aged woman in front of her.
"How can you be sure that I am your child?" Putting aside her initial surprise, Chu Qi calmed down.
So what if the woman in front of her is the mother of her body?
Anyway, it’s not her Chu Qi’s.
It's sad to say that in the original plot, the original owner had no chance to meet Zhuang Ya at all. He died after failing the mission and being punished.
"He has a butterfly birthmark on his back. I remember it very clearly. You have one on your back too, and you look so similar to me. There is no such coincidence in the world."
The middle-aged woman explained calmly.
"You were peeping at me." Chu Qi's lips straightened.
The woman was somewhat speechless after hearing this: “I’m just observing.”
Over the years, there have been many people who have coveted the wealth and power of Wujian Villa behind her.
There were also many times during this period when someone tried to impersonate her lost son.
She had experienced the transition from initial ecstasy to subsequent anger and numbness too many times.
So much so that when Zhuang Ya came to tell her that her son was found, she was not happy at first.
Instead, there was a hint of anger mixed with numbness.
After so many years, the person pretending to be her son still refuses to stop?
She simply announced that she was currently living in Wujian Villa, waiting for the impostor to come and claim to be her relative so that she could expose his tricks.
Unexpectedly, no matter how long I waited, the counterfeit goods never showed up.
Hope suddenly surged in her heart. Perhaps, this time, it really was her child?
So she followed Zhuang Ya's instructions and came to Yucheng.
Then he found Chu Qi's hiding place and secretly observed the birthmark on Chu Qi's back.
After discovering that the size and position of the birthmark were perfect, she believed that Chu Qi was really her long-lost son.
"Then what? Are you going to take me back to inherit the family business?"
Chu Qi leaned her hands on the windowsill, her posture relaxed.
"It's not that easy to inherit a family business," the woman lowered her eyes slightly, untied a brocade bag from her waist, untied the brocade bag, and took out a contract:
"This is part of Wujian Villa's assets. I am giving it to you in my personal name. You just need to put your handprint on it, and the assets inside will be yours."
Chu Qi took the contract and looked at it carefully.
I found that the industries there are all very profitable.
There are brothels, inns, bookstores, and even a large restaurant.
