“Crown Prince Consort, please follow my senile self.” Old Man Sun led the way, bringing the crown prince consort and the crown prince to one of the wells.
Old Man Sun ordered a sturdy lad to pull up a bucket of well water and bring it to Qiao Mu.
When Qiao Mu picked up the water dipper, Mo Lian reached over and rolled her wide sleeves up a bit for her.
Qiao Mu scooped up a ladle of water and leaned in for a sniff, while also scattering a pinch of medicinal powder in it.
A hiss rang out faintly, and the water inside the water dipper instantly turned into a thick black color. A noxious smell wafted out, assailing the people into stepping backwards.
Qiao Mu merely swayed her sleeves slightly, scattering a bit of medicinal powder in the water again to neutralize the noxious smell ing from it. She turned to Old Man Sun and manded, “Hurry and go inform everyone on the farm that they can’t drink the water here for the time being.”
“Qiaoqiao, what’s in this well water isn’t the edelweiss powder you mentioned?” Mo Lian asked gravely.
“No, it’s deadly poison.” Qiao Mu’s expression was also grave as she said with a sneer, “Feng Manyun must have put in another round of poison before she left. The water here has been poisoned with a strong poison that only takes one mouthful of water to make a person die unnaturally, with blood bleeding from all their orifices.”
Old Man Sun jumped in fright, and he hastily instructed those two sturdy lads who were also equally horrified to bring this news to everyone inside the farm’s forecourt.
“Isn’t Celestial Medicine Valley a place that treats and saves patients? Yet the poison they’ve developed is quite out of the ordinary. I need approximately a quarter of an hour to detoxify this poisoned water. Besides this well, are there any others?”
“Yes, yes, yes! There’s still one in the back. Also, there’s an irrigation ditch specially used for irrigating the field. That malicious woman wouldn’t have also tampered with it, right?”
“It’s very possible.”
Old Man Sun’s eyes bulged in rage as he couldn’t resist cursing, “This malevolent woman! She’s simply insane!”
“Alright, you people don’t need to acpany me here. Once I finish detoxifying the poisoned water, I will naturally summon you.”
When Qiao Mu finished speaking, she winked at Mo Lian. In reality, she didn’t require a quarter of an hour, such a long time, to detoxify this poison.
As she spoke, she had already restored the well water to its original state. After Old Man Sun and the rest left, she held Mo Lian’s hand and walked towards the well in the back.
“Mo Lian, I wonder if this bit of sacred earth, plus the sacred water’s efficacy, will be able to revive your patch of yellow shaft?” Qiao Mu took out a piece of wrapped-up cloth and revealed the small clod of soil inside.
Mo Lian exchanged a glance with Qiao Mu, after which he immediately revealed a smile on his face. “Hurry and try it out.”
“Let’s go.” The two first went to detoxify the poison in the other well before walking towards the irrigation ditch beside the embankment.
At the same time.
“Giddy-up!” Xiangqin cracked the whip to hasten the carriage forward. She looked down at her hands, which had bee slightly red and swollen from the reins rubbing against them, before turning her head sideways to glimpse inside the carriage.
“Miss. We’re about to exit the city.”
Feng Manyun had wrapped herself inside the quilt, and her limbs would be spasming intermittently. She hollered with a crooked grimace, “Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry and exit the city, exit the city!”
Xiangqin let out a sigh before quickly whipping the horse again, ushering the carriage to leave Beilan City.
Once they were out of the city, they naturally entered the disorderly tent district.
Formerly, Feng Manyun would still patiently greet these mon people or the like, but now, she was totally disinterested.
This was especially so when she recalled how she was forced to kneel servilely here in front of that little b*tch and under everyone else’s watchful gazes, her face filthy and her self humiliated. It felt as if her heart had been scorched, and it couldn’t resist burning up.
