Chapter 94

I hung up the phone and said to Lin Feiyu, "I'm coming down, Old Lin. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to treat you."

"Alright, Xia, I'll tell you the truth. Don't go. I didn't have anything with the Miao girl. The one who did this to me is a bug master from a neighboring county, not a Miao poisoner! I've already called your senior brother and Yao Long. They'll be here soon. I won't die," Lin Feiyu, fearing that I would go to the Miao people and cause trouble, quickly stopped me.

I was stunned and looked at Lin Feiyu.

"Actually, we old men had already discussed this. Since we're going to save you, things will definitely get out of control. So Brother Hai said that no matter whether the review by the Xuanmen family is favorable or not, we have to send you away from the county. This is the best way. We'll handle everything that happens in between. They won't dare to do anything to us old men, at most they'll just give us a lesson," Lin Feiyu said helplessly.

"Leave?" I looked at him in shock. If I were to leave, I really didn't know where to go. These old men were trying to help me bear the wrath of the families and calm things down.

"Leave the county. Senior Brother Hai has already found a way out for you. Come back when you have the strength. You've caused too much trouble, and there are too many wasps ready to sting you. If the Xuanmen family can't handle it, they'll find others who aren't part of the Xuanmen family to deal with you," Lin Feiyu explained.

"Alright, if they're not from the family, I won't have any qualms about dealing with them. I need to give them a lesson," I thought it was time to teach the families a lesson. Otherwise, they might think I'm easy to bully. They didn't dare to bite me directly, so they sent a dog.

"Sigh, why don't you listen? I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd cause more trouble. Now that I've told you, are you going to cause more trouble?" Lin Feiyu shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, Yao Long and Senior Brother Hai rushed in.

"Senior Brother? Are you okay?" I was a bit worried about his injuries when I saw Senior Brother Hai.

"I'm fine. I've already taken some medicine. Let's check on Little Lin first. The thing in his stomach is life-threatening, much worse than mine," Senior Brother Hai, seeing Lin Feiyu's ashen face, took out a paper figure, drew some spells, and then lit it. He mixed it with a strange oil and gave it to Lin Feiyu to drink.

With a matter of life and death, I couldn't stop Senior Brother, so I let him perform the ritual.

Lin Feiyu didn't ask why. After drinking it, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Yao Long seemed to have discussed with Senior Brother Hai. He recited some spells, placed his palm on the back of Lin Feiyu's head, and then slapped him awake.

When Lin Feiyu woke up, he made some strange sounds and looked like he was about to vomit.

Senior Brother Hai immediately took out a paper figure with Lin Feiyu's birth date and placed it under a urine pot, then put it in front of Lin Feiyu and recited some spells.

Lin Feiyu's eyes widened, and he started vomiting. I looked at the urine pot, and my face darkened. Some filthy things, including red bugs that looked like ants, were vomiting into the pot, biting the paper figure.

Zhao Qian, standing nearby, turned pale. She had never seen such a bizarre thing.

"In just half a day, they grew so big. Hmph, it's a warning, I guess," Senior Brother Hai said coldly, but his face was still flushed and uncertain.

"Is it solved?" I looked at Senior Brother Hai with some surprise and then at the small ant-sized bugs.

"Yes, basically. The mixture Lin Feiyu swallowed included the paper figure and a mix of corpse oil. It made him appear dead, and the bugs in his stomach loosened their grip. They discovered the paper figure and came out to bite it. These things are tiny, they fly into the respiratory system," Senior Brother Hai nodded and explained in detail.

The mixture included corpse oil, which was terrifying. I almost ran to the toilet to vomit when I heard that.

Lin Feiyu woke up and, seeing my actions, immediately glared at me: "Quick, get some water."

I quickly got water and handed it to him. Lin Feiyu drank a few sips and then vomited again, this time expelling more filthy things. I held the urine pot, enduring the stench.

"That's enough. The bugs are mostly out. I'll call the doctor," Senior Brother Hai said, pressing the call button on the bed.

Seeing that Zhao Qian and I were still standing there, Senior Brother Hai said, "Junior Brother, take the books I gave you back to the Four Small Immortal Daoist Temple. Yao Long and I will handle things here."

I nodded, knowing that Senior Brother Hai wouldn't tell me about the bug master, probably fearing I would seek revenge.

I could only leave with Zhao Qian. As I was about to leave, I heard Senior Brother Hai's slight cough, indicating that his injuries were still severe, and he was just holding on.

Before I could take a step, Han Shanshan's call came in: "Hey! Xia Yitian! Save me, my stomach hurts so much. Is something wrong with me?"

"What happened?" I frowned. Why was Han Shanshan calling me about her stomachache instead of a doctor? I was already troubled.

"Didn't you tell me to find the Miao people? I stopped them, and they got angry. I pulled them, and then my stomach started hurting. They must have done something to me. It hurts so much! Save me! It's all your fault!" Han Shanshan shouted on the phone.

"Did you eat something bad?" I was a bit skeptical.

"No! I've been on a diet! I haven't eaten anything today!" Han Shanshan screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Tell those Miao people you found the wrong person and have someone else follow them. I'll be there soon. If they don't let you go, I'll take action," I said, my expression dark. It seemed the Miao people I questioned earlier had given Han Shanshan a hard time.

I started the car and rushed to the Longcheng Hotel. Before I reached the hotel, I saw Han Shanshan squatting on the street, holding her stomach and crying.

Three Miao women were standing there, looking innocent. Two police officers were questioning them.

Zhao Qian wanted to get out of the car to check on Han Shanshan, but I stopped her, leaving her in the car. After all, the more people involved, the more likely something could go wrong, and I didn't want Zhao Qian to get hurt.

The two police officers, who had met me at the morgue, immediately came over when they saw me: "Brother Xia, look, these Miao women pushed our Sister Han, and now she's in pain."

"They act innocent, but it's infuriating," the other one added.

I walked over and looked at the three women, my face dark. "Is her stomach pain your doing? If so, fix it now, or I won't be lenient."

The three Miao women were in their twenties. One was a bit plump, one was a bit slim, and the other looked very innocent.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. What does her stomach pain have to do with us?" The plump Miao woman was carrying a wooden rack with silver jewelry.

It seemed the three women had come to the county to sell jewelry. I had seen many Miao women in small southern counties, selling decorations on market days. But these three had clearly given Han Shanshan a stomachache, probably by using a curse.

"Are you going to be lenient with the police? What do you mean by not being lenient?" The slim one sneered, acting quite fearless.

"The police pushed my sister, and now her stomach hurts. Are you blaming us?" The youngest Miao woman looked at me, feigning innocence.

Why am I dealing with bugs today? Lin Feiyu just got hit by a stomach bug, and now Han Shanshan has encountered real Miao women. I'm overwhelmed.

"Do we need to say it outright? I don't know how you cursed her, but I'm not in a good mood. If you push me, I won't let you off easily." I touched the soul jar and called out Xijun.

Appearing during the day still affected the ghost general, as the sun was still high in the sky.

However, not everyone could see Xijun. Two of the three Miao women couldn't see her, but the youngest one clearly trembled, as if she had noticed Xijun suddenly appearing beside me.

Xijun's fish-scale teeth were visible. She was not in a good mood, being called out in broad daylight, and she stared at the youngest Miao woman, baring her teeth as if ready to pounce.

The Miao woman who could see Xijun broke out in a cold sweat, looking incredulous.

"It seems you're the one who cursed her. Since you can see me, quickly retract the curse, or I'll take your soul," I said coldly. I was fearless even in front of people like Wu Zhenghua and Wang Cheng, let alone a Miao woman.

"Hmph, fine, so you're a ghost master," the Miao woman sneered, walking over to Han Shanshan and waving her hand in front of her before returning.

"You have a lot of nerve to mess with the police!" After the curse was lifted, Han Shanshan's pain disappeared, but she was still upset. She walked over and took out handcuffs.

"Sister Han! We don't have evidence."

"Sister Han, calm down! Random arrests will require you to write a report," her colleagues quickly intervened.

"So, can the police just arrest people randomly?" The Miao woman shrugged, denying the fact, then looked at me and whispered, "I've given you face. She pulled my sister, so I gave her a little punishment. If you put me in jail, I can't guarantee I'll be so lenient next time."

"You're threatening me?" I was unhappy. This young Miao woman was quite bold, daring to threaten me in front of Xijun.

"Water doesn't mix with water. I'm not threatening you, just saying. That's all," the young Miao woman said, then spoke in a dialect to her two sisters, who nodded without saying anything.
