After receiving the list, Jiang Qiao checked each entry and confirmed that everything was correct before speaking.
"I know all your addresses. If anyone still doesn't give up, try and see if I'll come knocking on your door. If I do, it won't be as simple as it is today. Think about it carefully. Killing a couple of people is nothing to me."
What could those lying on the ground say? They couldn't say anything. They were outmatched, and they couldn't refuse to admit defeat. They had already been given the drug, and if they didn't obey, they wouldn't get the antidote. Their lives would be over. They couldn't refuse to obey either.
Jiang Qiao kicked and rubbed each of them a few times, and well, those who couldn't move were able to get up immediately.
"Don't just stand around. Didn't you say you were here to help with the harvest? Hurry up and make the most of your time. Treat it like your own work. I'll be watching from the side. If you don't listen, those pebbles in my hand aren't just for show."
Jiang Qiao acted like a lord, having the young girl bring out a chair from the nunnery. She leisurely sipped her tea, watching the people work like a wealthy landlord.
The masters helped out on the side, carrying the corn cobs into the yard and drying them.
"Work hard, and there'll be plenty of water!"
Unfortunately, they didn't mention providing meals. What meal? These people had taken all the food from the nunnery, leaving them with nothing to eat.
However, these people were not unprepared. They had planned ahead and brought dry rations, intending to rob the temple of its food and take it home.
Who would have thought that encountering Jiang Qiao would be such an unexpected event? They could only eat their own dry rations and work hard. It wasn't that their bodies weren't in pain, but Jiang Qiao was watching from the side. If anyone tried to slack off, Jiang Qiao's pebbles were no joke. They would fly over in a flash and hit people, causing them a sharp pain. They didn't dare to cry out, otherwise, they would be hit by pebbles.
In fact, Jiang Qiao had already shown mercy. If it had been an animal, it would have been dead long ago. Otherwise, wouldn't all those years of hunting have been for nothing?
Wen Xueyi heard about what was happening outside while she was in the nunnery, but Jiang Qiao wouldn't let her go out, so she didn't. She could handle the child, and she wouldn't be that villain.
Once under Jiang Qiao's command, she knew very well that these people wouldn't get any advantage. The reason why her brother had to let Jiang Qiao contact her out of all the children in the family was because this child was sure to satisfy her brother in every way. So, she was quite at ease drinking the honey and royal jelly that Jiang Qiao had brought in the room.
To be honest, I've had this stuff before, but compared to what Jiang Qiao brought, it's nothing.
After eating, she felt warm all over, and the feeling of heaviness and coldness she had felt before seemed to disappear all at once.
She had no idea where her grandson had found such a wonderful product; the effects were truly remarkable. At first, she thought she wouldn't survive this year, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and she felt much better.
Jiang Qiao cooked lunch. Everyone was working, so she went back and made rice porridge. Wen Xueyi continued to drink soup, while the others ate stir-fried vegetables.
Jiang Qiao hadn't expected that the large amount of rice she had prepared would be completely devoured by the women, who were all still wanting more.
"It's so delicious! I haven't had such a good meal in a long time. Mingxin, thank you for your help again. We've benefited a lot from your visit."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "There's also soup. Each of us can have a bowl to help us recover. After I'm gone, I'll have to trouble you all to take good care of me."
The masters didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Qiao when it came to the soup. It was for the nun to nourish her body, so it must be something good. Everyone shared a bowl and then went back to work, with Jiang Qiao keeping an eye on them.
Jiang Qiao only let the people leave after they had finished their work in the field efficiently.
However, before leaving, those people looked at Jiang Qiao hesitantly and asked, "Um, Master, when can we get the antidote?"
Jiang Qiao snorted. "You can only take the antidote after it takes effect in the middle of the night. So come over tomorrow morning and let your master give it to you. However, it's best to drink the water here, as it will speed up the detoxification process."
The medicine won't be given to you all at once, but once a month. When the effects will be completely gone depends on your behavior. I'm entrusting the safety of this nunnery to you. You are not allowed to disturb the monks' meditation here.
If anyone else disturbs you, you are responsible for handling it. If you can't handle it, tell the monks in the nunnery, and I will find a way to resolve it. Alright, everyone, hurry back.”
As long as they can get the antidote, they won't be able to argue. What if the other party gives them other drugs? Wouldn't their lives be ruined?
One by one, they nodded obsequiously and left, while the masters looked at Jiang Qiao with admiration.
"Mingxin, you're amazing! If we had known it would be this useful, we would have brought you over sooner."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Even if I'm not here, you can still manage. As long as you become strong, who dares to do anything to you? The stubborn are afraid of the ruthless, and the ruthless are afraid of the reckless. That's the gist of it. You're already threatened with your survival, so what's there to be afraid of?"
"Can we really do this?"
Jiang Qiao nodded encouragingly, "Of course, no one is born knowing how to do this. Those thugs weren't born thugs either, so if they can do it, you can too. Being good at it won't hurt."
After all, there are only a few women in the nunnery. If you don't protect yourselves, how can you expect others to help you?
Alright, let's hurry back and pack up—"
Jiang Qiao didn't know what these masters would become in the end. She had said what she needed to say. They were all adults and should be able to understand this principle.
After hearing Jiang Qiao's words, Wen Xueyi gave a bitter smile. "If they had just followed your advice back then, they wouldn't have been forced into such a desperate situation. I hope your words will have an effect on them."
"By the way, did you really feed them poison?"
Jiang Qiao shrugged. "Of course. What do you think? I'm not just a doctor who treats people; I can also subdue them. You don't think I'm just trying to scare them, do you?"
Can you really scare those people with mere threats? They might behave for a day or two, but if it goes on for too long, they'll surely turn against you.
You didn't see their family members. Knowing full well that this was land belonging to the nunnery, they shamelessly came and blatantly robbed it. It's clear that their families aren't much better. Anyone with a conscience would have advised them against it. To put it bluntly, these people's current situation is inseparable from their families.
When those people took the food back, why didn't they ask them anything? They just shamelessly ate it without thinking about where it came from. What about the others if they ate it?
So these people deserve to be taught a lesson. Their reputations in their respective villages are probably not good either. Perhaps I've done something to vent everyone's anger."
