She swung the peach wood sword inscribed with the talisman incessantly, then suddenly stopped, spitting water at the talisman, which instantly burst into flames. She then held the burning sword to Su Xingran and said, "Put it away." After the talisman on the sword burned out and turned to ash, He Ergu took out a packet of powder from her pocket, picked up some talisman ash from the ground, and mixed it with the powder.
One of you two go find a bowl, pour in some hot water, add the medicine powder, mix it, and feed it to this girl. The wandering spirit that was possessing her has been subdued and driven away. When this girl wakes up, she will be the same as before, but her mind will likely be impaired. After all, she was possessed by a wandering spirit, which damaged her own spirit.
"Second Aunt He, do you mean the evil spirit is gone and won't come back? And this girl will be a little foolish after she wakes up, right?" Old Mrs. Su asked hurriedly. As long as the evil spirit was gone, she didn't care whether Su Xingran was foolish or not after she woke up.
Yes, the ghost is gone. It has gone where it wants to go, so you don't need to worry. It won't come back or harm your family again. As for the girl, her spirit was severely injured, so she will probably become mentally impaired and unable to understand the ways of the world, just as you said.
Old Mrs. Su and Zhao Xiaohua were overjoyed upon receiving the answer. How wonderful! As long as their family wouldn't be tormented or harmed by evil spirits in the future, that would be great. They both automatically ignored the fact that Aunt He was certain Su Xingran would become mentally impaired; after all, she wasn't their child, so they didn't need to take care of her. The second son and his wife doted on this girl so much; they would take care of her in the future.
Hearing He Ergu's assurance that Su Xingran had drunk the medicinal powder and would be mentally impaired upon waking, a chill ran through her. This so-called sorceress was probably no good; the powder was definitely tainted. Her hands, which had been bound behind her back, were already untied. The knots Zhao Xiaohua had tied were easy for her; she could break free quickly.
Su Xingran was still holding back. She had agreed with her parents that they shouldn't make any rash moves until they received her signal. The signal they had agreed on was the sound of smashing an earthenware cup on the ground. She was going to wait for them to feed her the medicine before she made her move.
A little worried, Su Xingran thought, "My parents, because we haven't received a signal for so long, might lose their temper and rush into my room." Now that the deadline is approaching, she hoped her parents could restrain themselves and not act impulsively. Su Xingran prayed silently that everything would proceed smoothly until the very end.
Mr. and Mrs. Su were also very anxious. They opened the door a crack and kept a close watch to see if Su Xingran could send a signal. Some time had passed since those people entered, but they hadn't received a signal, and they were terrified that their daughter might be harmed. Mr. Su had witnessed a sorceress performing rituals when he was a child, and the person being manipulated suffered greatly. Therefore, he was very worried that Ranran might suffer the same fate.
Zhao Xiaohua went outside, found a bowl, rinsed it with hot water from the thermos flask in the corner, then poured half a bowl of hot water into Su Xingran's room. "Aunt He, I brought the hot water and put it on the table for you."
Aunt He poured the medicine powder into a bowl. Seeing a pen on the table, she picked it up and put the end without chicken blood into the bowl to mix the powder. After finishing everything, she picked up the bowl, walked to the bound Su Xingran, stretched out her withered hand, grabbed Su Xingran's chin, and lifted Su Xingran's head.
She tried forcefully to open Su Xingran's mouth and then force the medicine down her throat. Su Xingran cooperated by slightly opening her mouth. Seeing that Su Xingran's mouth was open, Aunt He placed the bowl next to Su Xingran's mouth with the hand that was holding it, about to pour the medicine down. Suddenly, Su Xingran opened her eyes and stared at her.
