Medicine Practices the World: The Evil Doctor Arrives

Chapter 10 Red Spring Village

"Isn't it okay to pass by?"

"Su Xi, do you still dare to show up?" The door opened, and Su Miaoqing glared at Su Xi with gritted teeth, wishing to chop her up and feed her to the dogs.If it wasn't for her, how could she fall into the hands of the kidnappers and her reputation would be damaged.

"I didn't do anything wrong, why didn't I dare to show up?" Su Xi smiled slightly.

"You won't be proud for long. Let me tell you some good news. I'm going to Qingcheng Shuiyue Nunnery to pray for my grandmother."

"Congratulations." This is a good way to save your reputation.

"I congratulate you too."

Su Xi remained silent.

"In order to take care of each other, I specifically asked my father to let you go with me to the nunnery to pray for my grandmother." Su Miaoqing's eyes were filled with strong hatred.

"Thank you." Su Xi smiled sincerely.Qingcheng was exactly where she was on this trip.

One morning five days later, there was a thin drizzle of rain in the sky, and the chill of late autumn invaded the earth.

At the gate of Su Mansion, two carriages were parked one in front and one behind.

Su Miaoqing got into the carriage in front, and Su Xi had no choice but to sit in the slightly broken carriage at the back. Anyway, when she reached the gate of the city, she could just change into the carriage she specially ordered to prepare.After all, it would take five days to travel from Qindu to Qingcheng, and she didn't intend to wrong herself.

Qingcheng is located in the north of Qindu.After leaving the North City Gate, they walked northward for two days, and when they reached Hongquan Village, night had already fallen.

"Master, the Red Spring Village is right in front of you. I heard that there is a spring in the Red Spring Water that contains the aura of the heavens and the earth. If you drink it, you will live forever. It's getting dark now, should we stay in the Red Spring Village tonight?" Bai Shu asked.

Su Xi raised the curtain of the carriage, the vast night sky was starless and moonless, and the whole land was dark.Such a night is not suitable for traveling.

After Su Xi agreed, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Hongquan Village.

After getting off the carriage, Su Xi stood at the entrance of the village in a light purple dress, looking at the brightly lit Hongquan Village, frowning slightly.

"This village is weird, we have to be careful when we go in." Su Xi reminded.Along the way, the other villages are dark at night, and occasionally one or two families light oil lamps at night.Only Hongquan Village is different, and every household is lit with lights.

Bai Shu nodded in agreement.

At this time, Su Miaoqing came lightly in a green dress, followed by the maid Xiangyu.

"Why don't you continue on your way?" Su Miaoqing asked coldly.She just wanted to live in a hotel, not a farmhouse overnight.

"No one is stopping you, you can continue on your way." Su Xi was not used to her.

"you……"

Su Xi didn't bother to pay attention, and led Bai Shu into Hongquan Village.When the villagers saw the stranger coming, they packed up their things and hid in the house in fright.Some were a little bolder, watching them carefully and secretly through the crack of the door.

"We are not a plague, why are we hiding?" Bai Shu wondered.

Su Xi remained silent, quietly observing the surroundings.A little girl came into her sight.

The little girl tilted her head and hid herself behind the door. There was a hint of gray in her dark eyes, and she looked at them timidly and curiously.

The corners of Su Xi's lips curled up slightly, showing a friendly smile, and beckoned to the little girl.

The little girl hesitated for a while, then bravely walked up to Su Xi, "Beautiful sister, my aunt is sick, can you help me find a doctor to save my aunt?"

"What's your name?" Su Xi asked in a gentle voice.

"My name is Lele, safe and happy Lele."

"Lele, it sounds so nice." Su Xi smiled slightly, like a spring flower blooming, "I am the doctor."

"Great, Mommy is saved. Sister, come with me." Lele led Su Xi and Bai Shu into the house.

In the humble house, an oil lamp was lit, emitting a dim light.Lele's mother, Liu Ying, was lying on a pine bed, covered with a patched quilt.

Su Xi moved slightly to the side of the bed, looking at the woman lying on the bed, her face was blue, her hair was withered and yellow, and she was as thin as skin and bones.

"Mother, wake up, wake up quickly. Lele has found a doctor." Lele, five years old, shook her sleeping mother.

The woman struggled to open her gray eyes, and looked at Su Xi carefully.This girl looks really juicy, with black hair and fair skin like a freshly peeled egg. She must come from a rich family and should be able to take her daughter out of this village.

"Girl, our Hongquan Village has been cursed, and many villagers have suffered from strange diseases. You'd better leave quickly." Liu Ying advised kindly.

"Auntie, I'm a doctor, I'm not afraid. Don't talk, I'll take your pulse first."

After saying that, Su Xi stretched out three fingers to rest on Liu Ying's slender wrist to diagnose the pulse quietly.

"Stick out your tongue." Su Xi frowned.

Liu Ying stuck out her tongue, and the part of her tongue close to her throat had black veins.

"Auntie, do you have black veins growing on your body?" Su Xi asked.

Liu Ying shook her head, "I didn't see it on my body, but after I got a strange disease, my back itched from time to time."

"Baishu, take Lele to the door to play for a while."

After Bai Shu took Lele out of the house, Su Xi said with a serious expression: "Auntie, I need to check your back?"

Liu Ying took off her clothes, and her entire back was covered with black veins of varying thickness.

Looking at the weird black veins, Su Xi fell into deep thought, recalling the past that happened in the previous life in his mind.

In her previous life, at the age of 15, she had not yet become the evil master of Youyue Palace.Traveling with Master, passing through Songxing County, I found that at least half of the people in the county are suffering from this strange disease.

After a month of unremitting efforts and investigation, it was finally discovered that the source of the strange disease was caused by drinking water from an old well in the town.

"Auntie, let me ask you, since when did Hongquan Village get sick?" Su Xi asked, thinking that Hongquan Village also had a hundred-year-old spring.

"About September two years ago, people in the village got sick one after another. The old people in the village said that God wanted to punish us. First, the earth dragon turned over, and then people got sick." Liu Ying said.

"When did Dilong turn over?" Su Xi asked.

"April two years ago." Liu Ying recalled.

"That's right." Su Xi thought to himself.

"Auntie, are all the sick villagers in the village afraid of light?"

Liu Ying nodded, "Yes. You can't see the sun, and when you see the sun, you will have a stomachache, which makes life worse than death."

After listening, Su Xi became even more certain that the strange disease suffered by the villagers of Hongquan Village was the same disease that the people of Songxing County suffered from back then.The source of the strange disease is likely to be the century-old spring in the village.

Of course, all this is just Su Xi's guess, she must go to Laoquan to confirm it.

Su Xi asked Liu Ying where the old spring was, leaving Bai Shu to take care of their mother and daughter, and walked towards the old spring alone.

"Master, I heard that drinking the spring water in Hongquan Village can make you live forever. Would you like to have a sip?"
