A good night's sleep.
The next morning, Wan Shufang accompanied Caixia to clean up the shop, while Chen Changli went out to trace the source of the plague. After investigating for a whole morning, they finally found something wrong with the well water.
"Master, the well water has been poisoned." An Yi stepped forward to report. They had checked all the things in the town that could cause large-scale illnesses, and only this well water was poisonous.
Hearing this, Chen Changli's eyes darkened and he whispered, "Just stay by the well. Those people will probably come again."
"Yes."
After An Yi gave the order, the group hid in the dark, waiting quietly. Sure enough, not long after, they saw a furtive figure approaching the well.
He poured a packet of medicine powder in, muttering to himself.
"Die quickly, and when you die, all those things will be mine."
The man had an excited look on his face. After pouring a packet of medicine powder, he looked around to make sure that no one had left. As soon as the person left, Chen Changli and his men followed.
He followed the man all the way, but when he reached the outskirts of the city, the man disappeared. Feeling the strange atmosphere around him, Chen Changli immediately became alert and grasped the hilt of the sword.
"There's something strange here, An Yi, let everyone pay attention."
"Yes, master."
The group was cautious and searched carefully, and unknowingly they were separated. Suddenly, they heard a fight. Chen Changli turned around abruptly and was about to rush over to help, but was blocked by a man in black.
"Finally you show up!" Chen Changli shouted in a low voice and drew his sword to fight the enemy. More and more men in black appeared around him. Knowing that he was ambushed, his face turned ugly.
But judging from the skills of these men in black, they were no match for him at all. It seemed that the other party had underestimated him.
Thinking of this, Chen Changli shouted to An Yi: "An Yi, try to keep them alive."
After saying that, he quickly joined the battle, using fierce moves and pressing step by step, making the man in black almost unable to resist. When he was forced into a corner with no way to retreat, the man in black sneered, raised his hand and threw out a black ball.
With a "bang", the black ball exploded and the surrounding area was immediately filled with dust. When Chen Changli could see clearly again, those people had already run away.
There were many dead bodies lying on the ground, but no one alive.
Chen Changli checked them one by one and stopped in front of a killed secret guard. Looking at the thing tightly held in his hand, Chen Changli squatted down and pried open his fingers.
A token came into view, and the big word "Chu" on the token made Chen Changli tremble with fear.
"The Chu family's token?"
"Isn't Chu Yaozu already dead? Who is behind this and why is he using the Chu family to kill him..."
With a lot of doubts in his mind, Chen Changli put away the token, told An Yi to clean up the scene, and rushed back. He told Wan Shufang what he had found out.
Upon learning that the well water was poisoned, Wan Shufang's eyes widened with shock: "These people really deserve to die. In order to harm those women, they chose to harm the entire town."
"The most urgent task now is to detoxify. Shufang, I have brought some well water. Can you try to develop an antidote to save these people?"
Hearing this, Wan Shufang nodded. Even if the people were pedantic and superstitious, their crime did not deserve the death penalty. They needed to be saved. Taking the well water handed to her by Chen Changli, Wan Shufang went straight into the space.
With the help of the laboratory, Wan Shufang quickly prepared the antidote. The two of them put the antidote into the well water, drew water out and distributed it to everyone in the town.
"Everyone, drink this water, and the plague in the city will be cured."
After she finished speaking, the people looked at each other, hesitant for a moment, not knowing whether they should trust Wan Shufang. It was the neighbor aunt who took the lead and spoke well of Wan Shufang.
"Ma'am, we believe in you. Your medical skills have been witnessed by all of us for so long. You will definitely be able to cure everyone."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and drank the water in the bowl. Everyone looked at her with curiosity. Soon, the red spots on the aunt's body disappeared.
The slightly swollen face has also subsided...
"It works, everyone drink it."
The people were overjoyed and each of them picked up their bowls and drank the antidote.
Soon, the poison in everyone's body was cured, the symptoms of the plague disappeared, and the people cheered and thanked Wan Shufang.
Wan Shufang nodded gently, not wanting to say anything to these ignorant people. She turned to look at Chen Changli and said, "Changli, let's go back. To be on the safe side, the people in the charity hall also need to take medicine."
"it is good."
Chen Changli agreed, and the two turned and left.
After taking the antidote, the plague came to an end, but Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not relax and continued to track down the murderer behind the scenes.
But before the two men found any clues, something happened in the city again.
"Master, Madam, it's bad. The women you saved earlier have all died suddenly. Now the people in the city are in a panic again." An Yi said anxiously, gritting his teeth, "These people really deserve to die. They won't stop for a moment."
"Chen Changli, it seems that someone doesn't want us to investigate the case anymore and is deliberately causing trouble."
Wan Shufang said indifferently. After so many twists and turns, she had long since developed a calm mentality. Guiyun Town had been in trouble again and again, and it was obvious that they didn't want them to have time to rest and trace the person behind the scenes.
Chen Changli frowned and tapped the tabletop with his slender fingers: "How many people are left now?"
Hearing this, An Yi knew that Chen Changli was asking about the rescued woman. He fell silent for a long while before he stammered, "My Lord, people started dying last night. Now, only Caixia is still alive."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang immediately became anxious. Caixia was the only person left alive, and she was sure that those people would also attack Caixia.
Worried that Caixia would be ambushed, Wan Shufang did not care about anything else and quickly went to call Caixia back. When Caixia returned to the charity hall, Wan Shufang quietly brought her into the room.
"Caixia, you should have heard what happened outside. You don't know martial arts, so it's too dangerous to expose yourself to those people. Now I will disguise you and exchange identities with you."
"No, ma'am." Caixia refused without thinking and shook her head vigorously: "You will be in danger."
"Silly girl, of course I have ways to protect myself. I'm a doctor, a healer. I have antidotes and poisons. It's no problem to protect myself. Stop talking nonsense and come now."
She forcefully pulled Caixia to sit down, took out the human skin mask that had been prepared long ago, and put it on her.
At the same time, she put on another mask. In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged identities. Looking at her own face, Wan Shufang warned: "You will follow An Yi out later. Don't talk. He will take you to a safe place."
"Ma'am, but..."
"I'll be fine. Chen Changli has already made arrangements. We need to lure the snake out of its hole and catch the turtle in its jar." As she said this, she pushed "Wan Shufang" out.
Caixia was reluctant, but in the end she did not dare to go against Wan Shufang's wishes and left obediently.
