Chapter 99: The Early Death
Chen Chunxing was a little surprised.
She didn't expect Jiang to come to her house to seek medical treatment. In her expectation, even if the other party wanted to find one, he would be looking for someone to take care of his child, and definitely not for a doctor.
She knocked on the door. "Are you really asleep? There's still some steamed rice left in the pot. If no one wants to eat it, I'll give it all to Old Yang."
"No, I'll eat it!"
The door opened in response.
Wang Youcai hadn't fallen asleep at all and had heard the noise in the yard a long time ago.
"What are you doing?" Chen Chunxing was very confused.
Based on the old man's personality in his two lives, even if he really had a conflict with Doctor Chang, he should not have behaved so childishly.
"Well, I'm just trying to avoid Old Chang..."
Wang Youcai glanced at the children in the yard, and before he finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen to get some rice. Seeing Chen Chunxing following him in, he continued.
"That old lady Jiang, I'm afraid she's not going to make it."
"I know." Chen Chunxing raised his eyebrows. "Is this the reason you're unhappy with Doctor Chang?"
"How did you know?" Wang Youcai turned around in surprise. Seeing the little girl's indifferent expression, he slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, with your status, how could you not know?"
"When Hu Zi came today, I felt something was wrong. The child's face was full and plump, but he was haunted by yin energy, which was a sign of an unjust death."
"I was curious and thought about going to take a look. But when I got there, I saw that Old Chang had been invited out by Jiang. He said that he had no money to see a doctor and didn't want to bother him."
"Will Old Chang agree to this? I tried to persuade him, even offering to pay for her medical treatment, but he still didn't budge. I only tried to persuade him to come back for his own good, but he still got upset and gave me the cold shoulder..."
"I'm not mad at him, I just don't know how to explain it! Do you think I can tell him the truth? What if I scare Old Chang to death?"
Having said that, Wang Youcai threw his chopsticks in dissatisfaction.
"That Jiang is like a living corpse. If Old Chang were to clash with her, even ten lives wouldn't be enough."
When the soul leaves the body, it becomes a corpse. The so-called living corpse is a person whose life span has come to an end. Some evil method is used to trap the soul inside the corpse. The pain one has to endure during this period is comparable to having one's heart and bones gouged out, which is the most intolerable thing in the world.
"This matter is under the jurisdiction of your underworld. Whoever is causing this chaos, you must catch him quickly before he harms someone else."
Chen Chunxing remained silent.
"Not all evil is due to evil thoughts. Perhaps, it could also be due to true love that cannot be let go?"
Wang Youcai was stunned and even stopped eating. He thought about it carefully, his heart beating fast. He had already thought of a possibility and couldn't help sighing.
"Is there really someone in the world who can do this?"
Chen Chunxing didn't answer. She stood up, carried a hoe and went out.
Wang Youcai finished his meal in a few bites and hurriedly followed behind.
The two of them turned a few corners and stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched house.
Even after renovations, this small courtyard still looks lifeless.
Hu Zi was sitting at the gate, sulking. When he saw the two, he was delighted at first, then he looked back cautiously, and pleaded with a mournful face:
"Sister Chunxing, please try to persuade my grandma. She's coughing up blood, but she still refuses to take medicine! I know our family is poor, and my grandma doesn't want to take advantage of us, but I, I, I will definitely be able to earn money in the future! I will pay back the medical expenses!"
Chen Chunxing said a few words of comfort and handed him the hoe: "If you want to make money, don't miss the good opportunity. Every household is digging and selling vegetables right now, but you didn't show up today. This is very wrong."
"But grandma is sick and can't leave me..." Under the gaze of those black eyes, Hu Zi couldn't explain. He gritted his teeth, took the hoe and ran towards his own field.
He should go make money!
The Shen family not only bought the vegetable seeds on credit, but also taught everyone the secret recipe that could be passed down from generation to generation. It would be wrong to let them down.
"Your methods of getting rid of people are becoming more and more hardcore." Wang Youcai's praise was not very sincere.
Chen Chunxing ignored him and entered the yard. He immediately saw a house emitting a rotten smell. The smell was so strong that even the old ghost Wang Youcai dared not approach.
He had a lot of experience but not much skill in Taoism. After looking at it for a few more times, he suddenly felt dry in the mouth and wanted to drink blood. He was so scared that he immediately retreated three meters away.
"This is a very dangerous place! If you don't get rid of it today, there will probably be a whole new group of evil spirits around here!"
"You're the only one making noise."
Chen Chunxing waved her hand, and countless black silk threads spread out from her wrists, quickly forming an invisible large net that wrapped the entire yard.
She pushed open the door and sighed to the old lady who was half leaning on the bed: "Actually, I've been waiting for you to come to me."
Jiang raised her eyelids with difficulty. Seeing that it was her, she was not surprised at all. She smiled and said, "I have guessed a lot, but I never thought that the young lady was of this status."
The Yincha is responsible for seducing souls.
People who are about to die can sense something in the dark. She had long felt that there was something strange about Chen Chunxing, and now she understood it clearly.
"Life has eight kinds of suffering. If you can be free from them, why not leave them? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You've given everything for a moment of protection, but have you ever considered that such a blessing might be a burden to Hu Zi?"
Chen Chun walked into the house very quietly, as if afraid of disturbing something.
"I know that if I keep him, it will definitely harm his future destiny, but if I don't keep him, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him grow up."
Jiang's face was pale, and her dry lips looked like they were about to grow fangs. She looked scary, but her expression was still calm.
Everything has its trade-offs. She chose to keep her grandson alive, even if it meant sacrificing herself for it.
Chen Chunxing sighed again, his expression of indifference turning into helplessness: "You know, those who are transformed into zombies have only one way out: their souls will be scattered. Even as a ghost messenger, I have no other way."
"I know." Jiang smiled calmly and actually comforted him, "Don't feel sad for me, young lady. In this life, I have loved, been loved, and had children. That's enough. As for the next life, I dare not have any extravagant hopes. One should not be too greedy."
"Now that Narrow Village has you and the elder sister of the Shen family, I think Hu Zi will have something to eat, and I feel at ease."
After learning about the Shen family's plan to sell vegetables together, Jiang knew it was time for her to leave. She had held on until now only to repay the favor.
"Last time I heard you say that Zhixia was kidnapped as a child. From the look of her face, it seems she's been poisoned by several things. I'm afraid she's suffered a lot. Now the poison has penetrated deep into her bones and is difficult to remove. If she wants to live long, she must find a unique way!"
Jiang took out a booklet from under her pillow, rubbed it a few times with her dry and rough hands, and then handed it to Chen Chunxing.
"This thing should have been buried with me, but now that I've found it, there's no reason not to save it. I trust you, so I'm not afraid of someone using it for evil. But you must remember this. If you ever meet someone from Miaojiang, don't reveal anything to them. Otherwise, you might not be able to protect the Shen family."
There is endless depth in this brief explanation.
There were traces of wet ink on the cover of the book, which was made of yellow paper stitched together.
Written on it were two extremely concise words - Poison Sutra.
