Yun Suiwan grabbed Lu Dongjue's hand and said hurriedly, "I don't want your life! This is my own business, I'll handle it myself."
There was some affection between her and Lu Dongjue, but it wasn't that deep.
She couldn't possibly repay such a huge favor.
Besides, what year is this? She can't possibly be dead, can she?
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
"Ah..." Yun Suiwan pressed her hands to her chest and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Yun Suiwan, what's wrong?" Lu Dongjue quickly hugged her.
"I feel terrible... my chest hurts, I feel like I'm having a heart attack..."
Yun Suiwan's face was contorted with pain.
"This is just the initial manifestation of the acacia poison. She must have sexual intercourse on the night of the full moon, otherwise she will bleed from all seven orifices and die," the mad old woman said from the side.
Lu Dongjue looked at the old man and asked, "Senior, what is the way to cure this poison completely?"
"If you are fortunate enough to meet a wandering old man, he will be able to cure her of the poison."
Listening to the crazy old woman's words, Lu Dongjue couldn't help but frown. Their chances of encountering that old man were comparable to winning the lottery.
"Senior, I am earnestly seeking your guidance, please do not joke with me. She is in unbearable pain right now, I beg you to have mercy."
Looking at Yun Suiwan, whose face was pale, Lu Dongjue could not hide his worry in his words.
“What I’m saying is true. Only that wandering old man can cure her poison. She only has angina right now, but if the poison isn’t eradicated within six months, her limbs will slowly rot until the bone is exposed.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
She stared blankly at the crazy old woman, hoping she was joking.
"The pain of a living person watching their limbs rot away bit by bit is a hundred times worse than angina."
Hearing the crazy old lady's words, Yun Suiwan suddenly felt that she was not so bad anymore.
She couldn't help but look at her hands.
"Alright, if you want to alleviate her pain, you can feed her your blood, but remember, if she drinks your blood, your family's hereditary disease is very likely to be passed on to her. If you are not the one she loves, then you might become an ill-fated couple. Moreover, drinking blood can be addictive, and who knows, one day she might drain all your blood."
After saying that, the crazy old woman chuckled, shook her tattered black robe, and left.
Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan exchanged a glance, and he asked in a deep voice, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Yun Suiwan nodded blankly, and said with a forced smile, "I'm completely healed, it doesn't hurt at all anymore."
After saying that, she struggled to stand up.
But heaven knows, she's really in pain right now.
Lu Dongjue held her hand tightly. In fact, if she just said one word, he would let her suck his blood.
He could clearly see that she was in excruciating pain, but she said she was fine.
Is she herself the one she loves?
In Yun Suiwan's heart, however, she did not want to implicate Lu Dongjue.
Neither of them revealed their feelings to the other, after all, their relationship was not yet very strong.
Just then, Lin Zhibai walked over with several women who looked to be in their early twenties.
In the late autumn, they saw light in each other's eyes, a light that rekindled their hope for life.
They were abducted recently, and they urgently need help to leave this place.
However, the villagers disagreed. They argued that they had paid money to buy a wife, and she couldn't just leave like that.
"Stop them!"
Just then, dozens of villagers came running over, carrying hoes, shovels, kitchen knives, wooden sticks, and the like.
"Leave the people here, or you won't be able to leave this village!" the villager in charge shouted.
Lu Dongjue also had twenty or thirty bodyguards on his side. He stood at the front, blocking several women behind him.
Lin Zhibai stepped forward and said loudly, "Don't do anything foolish, the police are here too."
"So what if it's the police? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, we'd still have to reason with him! I paid for this woman myself, what right do you have to take her away like this!"
"Come on, folks, surround them! Whoever takes our women away, we'll break their legs. These city folks, they're all like gigolos, giving up their good lives to come and cause trouble for us. Let's fight them!"
The villager in the lead shouted something, and then the villagers behind him grabbed their weapons and charged forward.
Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky above the village.
The villagers were stunned for a moment, then someone shouted, "A big bird! A big bird!"
Lu Dongjue looked into the distance and saw four helicopters flying over.
The villagers had never seen anything like this before, and they were so frightened that they retreated one after another.
"What is that thing? Do they have guns? Who are these people?" Some villagers were already wondering.
"Could it really be the police coming to arrest us? This woman couldn't have been paid for, could she?"
The helicopter was getting closer and closer, and they could even see the people on board.
The people up there are incredibly impressive; they all wear sunglasses and look so smug.
The villagers who had been causing trouble stopped and all ran away.
"Who is this?" Yun Suiwan asked.
Lu Dongjue glanced at the markings on the helicopter fuselage. "The elders of the other four families already know about your situation. This is someone they sent."
"Oh." Yun Suiwan was surprised. "Where's Grandpa Lu?"
Lu Dongjue gave her a deep look. "If I don't bring you back safely, I might as well not go back at all."
Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan laughed.
"Dongjue, these are the only ones on the list who are willing to go back with us." At this moment, Lin Zhibai spoke up.
Lu Dongjue looked at the women; they were all pale and thin, and must have suffered a lot here.
"Okay, in a bit you'll coordinate with the police to make sure they get home safely."
"Um."
Then Lu Dongjue said to Yun Suiwan, "Let's go back too. We'll find out about that wandering old man slowly. You'll be fine."
Yun Suiwan nodded.
They returned to the village chief's house, bringing their two children with them.
When Yun Suiwan was about to leave, the village chief's wife chased after her.
"Heroine, heroine, could you please do me a favor? My son hasn't come back for three years. If you see him, could you tell him that his father has been arrested and that the village is no longer the same as before?"
It turns out that the village chief's son hadn't returned home for three years not because he thought the travel expenses were too high, but because he resented having such a father and his inability to change the situation.
Seeing the village chief's wife's anxious expression, Yun Suiwan nodded.
"What happened here will soon be on the news, and I think he'll find out about it too."
The village chief's wife wiped away her tears, waved to Yun Suiwan, and returned to the high-walled courtyard without saying another word.
"Do you think she bought it?" Yun Suiwan asked Lu Dongjue.
Lu Dongjue placed his large hand on her head, preventing her from looking anymore.
How it came about is no longer relevant.
