Chapter 86: Identity Exposed
Epidemic!
Everyone was shocked. Miss Yi Han's expression changed slightly and her steps forward became cautious.
"Bah! What a dead air! Miss Kang, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You are cursing Fang Niang." Chef Miao said.
Shen Tingyu said seriously: “It’s not a curse, it’s true.”
Chef Miao became even angrier and put his arms around Fang Niang's shoulders: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my wife be infected with the plague?"
Doctor Yan, known as the 'most formidable doctor in Yunzhou City', said seriously, "Although this lady is coughing up blood, she only needs to be nursed back to health. She will recover in a few days. This is definitely not the plague. I'm not a doctor, so please don't talk nonsense."
After using the Transformation Pill, she becomes immune to diseases and everything will immediately return to its original form after the expiration of her usage period.
She took a few steps forward fearlessly and said calmly, "I'm serious. Fang Niang needs to be isolated immediately."
Everyone was silent.
Shen Tingyu's gaze swept across the faces of each of them, and his heart felt slightly cold: "You all don't believe me."
Finally, she looked at Xin Hongying calmly, "What about you? Don't you believe me either?"
Xin Hongying's eyes were deep, his brows slightly furrowed. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through Fang Niang's clothes into her internal organs. Finally, it fell on the scarlet blood on the handkerchief. His pupils shrank, "I believe you."
Chef Miao was stunned. "Master Kang! How could you believe such a ridiculous statement?"
Xin Hongying said nothing, took Shen Tingyu's wrist, turned around and left, deliberately leaving a sentence, "The doctor has been invited for you, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Miss Bai Feng's eyes moved slightly. She was outside the door, her eyes fell on their tightly clasped hands, and she frowned.
Are they really siblings?
"Brother Miao, I'll go boil some medicine for Sister Xiaofang." Miss Yi Han cautiously took a few steps back and left the room, intending to wait until everyone left before she quietly took Sister Xiaofang's pulse.
They left one by one, and Dr. Yan felt itchy and suddenly had the urge to leave.
Although Shen Tingyu's words are outrageous, it is better to believe it than not to believe it.
Chef Miao's eyes were dark and unclear. He put Fang Niang, who had fallen asleep in his arms, down and gently covered her with the quilt. He smoothed her forehead, which had been furrowed in her sleep. "Fang Niang, I don't believe it's... You're just sick. Get some sleep. Wait for me at home."
"I can't live without you."
…
It was raining continuously, and the two carriages stopped at the foot of Partridge Mountain.
They walked up the muddy mountain road, holding oil-paper umbrellas. The road was winding and steep, with occasional gravel and unstable figures.
“Be careful, follow my footprints and come up.” Xin Hongying supported Shen Tingyu with his big hands. Although they stumbled along the way, they were relatively safe.
Chef Miao stood in front of the stone wall with a complicated look in his eyes. He turned to look at them and said, "We're here. The sacred Wu Ni Xiang is inside."
He groped his fingers on the stone wall, and with a push of his big hand, he pushed a stone away, revealing a deep and dark cave inside.
He took out a tinder from his pocket, took down the oil lamp at the entrance of the cave and lit it: "Come with me."
Chef Miao walked in first.
Shen Tingyu and Xin Hongying looked at each other in confusion, then followed his footsteps and walked in.
The entrance to the cave was not spacious, only accommodating three people walking side by side. The sound of dripping water could be heard all the time, and the corridor was deep and damp.
After walking for a distance, the light became brighter. The inside of the cave was hollow, and there was a small hole on the top that let light through to illuminate the cave.
There is a tombstone inside with words engraved on it, far away from the small opening in the ceiling.
Chef Miao knelt down and kowtowed three times, his eyes red as he called out in a choked voice, "Mom."
Shen Tingyu looked around the cave, but couldn't find Wu Nixiang's whereabouts. He felt a pang in his heart, wondering if Chef Miao had lied to them.
Without disturbing Chef Miao's reminiscing with the deceased, he waited quietly for Chef Miao to calm down and stand up from the ground.
Xin Hongying's inky eyes gradually sharpened. He took a step forward and asked, "Where is the sacred object Wu Ni Xiang that you mentioned?"
Chef Miao wiped away his tears and pointed: "Isn't it right there...Ahhh!"
He screamed, rushed to a pile of weeds, knelt on his knees, his fingers trembling, "How could... this happen!"
The sacred object, the Wu Ni Xiang, that he mentioned had already bent to the ground, its branches and leaves all withered and yellowed, becoming no different from weeds.
Wu Nixiang was defeated.
"The goddess is furious and still refuses to forgive us!" Chef Miao, his body hunched over with a look of panic, made a gesture of kowtow to the goddess: "Goddess, please forgive me!"
As he was doing it, he suddenly laughed a few times and looked at his palms with a crazy expression: "Wrong, all wrong, even the gesture is wrong."
Chef Miao's reaction didn't seem fake at all.
After searching for so long, he only found a dead Golden Flame Resurrection Grass. His hope of removing the poison was shattered, leaving only disappointment in his heart. Xin Hongying clenched his fists in anger.
If they had found it earlier, this black osmanthus tree might have been saved, but now it's useless to do anything.
Shen Tingyu glanced at Xin Hongying with concern, tugged at his sleeve out of habit, and comforted him: "We still have time, we can look for it later."
The subtle sound of stones rolling when kicked by toes came from the dark corridor.
Shen Tingyu was startled, and a thriller scene from a horror movie popped up in his mind, and he suddenly felt creepy: "Who? Who is there!"
Hooked!
Xin Hongying's gloomy mood vanished as he said coldly, "Come out! I know it's you."
After the air was quiet for a few seconds, two figures revealed their true faces from the dark corridor.
Chef Miao's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why are you here?"
Miss Bai Feng sighed helplessly, and with a familiar look, she slowly approached Shen Tingyu: “Miss Kang, I didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon.”
Shen Tingyu was a little surprised, but she was not surprised to see them appear.
"You guessed we would come." Miss Yi Han looked at Xin Hongying with a wary look in her eyes. "No, you told us on purpose to lure us here."
Xin Hongying nodded: "That's right."
No one paid any attention to Chef Miao's shock. He simply repeated his disbelief: "Why are you here?"
"Of course, it's also for the sacred object Wu Ni Xiang." Xin Hongying raised her eyes leisurely and smiled.
The two of them agreed without saying anything.
Chef Miao was no fool. He reacted immediately after thinking it through and took two steps back in fear. "You deliberately used Fang Niang to approach me for the sake of my clan's sacred object, the Wu Ni Xiang."
"No wonder, despite all your repeated inquiries, Fang Niang and I were completely defenseless."
Xin Hongying concealed her disappointment and melancholy, "Unfortunately, you are also a step too late. This Wu Ni Xiang is already dead."
"You must be the legendary doctors in the world. I have heard of your great names for a long time, and today I finally meet you in person." Shen Tingyu's tone was very firm. His voice was not loud, but the news was heavy.
After they were discovered following, their calm expressions were shattered and their faces changed.
