"Yes, it's all fake, including your curse."
Shi Qinghuan stepped forward and stood side by side with Bailiheng.
"We are not lying to you. It is because you have lived in the fog for too long that your body is damaged and you will not live past forty. There is no curse. As long as you leave here and receive treatment, you will get better."
The truth was revealed, there were no ghosts or curses, and the illness could be cured. Everyone began to calm down, and hope and smiles appeared in their eyes.
Only the couple sat on the ground, crying.
When Shi Qinghuan rescued the girl, she had already fainted. Shi Qinghuan didn't say anything, so the couple thought that their daughter was dead.
The pain was excruciating at the moment.
They had to do this to their daughter because of the safety of the entire town.
But I didn’t expect that it was all a scam.
Their daughter died in vain.
It was they who took their daughter's life with their own hands.
"My miserable daughter!"
The woman cried and reached out to slap her face hard several times.
The big man turned to look at Sun Peng who was being held in custody, and rushed over as soon as he got up.
"You fake Taoist priest, you have deceived us all. If I kill you, you will give my daughter's life back!"
The big man ran over, but was stopped by officers and soldiers. Many people came forward and looked at Sun Peng angrily.
When the truth was revealed, they naturally knew that it was all Sun Peng's fault.
Having been deceived for so long, even if Sun Peng was cut into pieces, he still deserved it.
"Kill him, kill this stinky Taoist priest!"
"Yes, kill him!"
For a time, the crowd was excited, and Sun Peng was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Shi Qinghuan looked on and couldn't help but sneered.
"What a turn of events!"
With a look from Bailiheng, the prefect spoke, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter impartially."
Seeing that the situation was under control, Shi Qinghuan looked at the woman.
"Who said she was dead?"
One sentence made everyone stunned.
"She just fainted from being choked. She will wake up naturally later."
As Shi Qinghuan spoke, he also helped the girl administer the injection and treated her other illnesses.
The woman had already seen what Shi Qinghuan was capable of. She climbed up to the high platform to make sure her daughter was still breathing, and she cried with joy.
Pulling the big man to kneel down directly in front of Shi Qinghuan, he kowtowed to her several times.
"Thank you girl for saving my life."
"Get up quickly, but aunt, and all of you, life is precious. Not everyone has a chance to live again. I hope you can understand and don't lose your life if you are easily instigated."
"Yes, yes, we will never do this again, absolutely not again!"
Everyone looked guilty, and Shi Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they really understood.
"The girl just said that we can't live to be forty because of the perennial fog, but we can't dispel this fog. What should we do?"
Shi Qinghuan looked at Bailiheng, who nodded and walked forward, "It's very simple. You choose some people to come out and follow me up the mountain later."
Bailiheng said, before anyone could ask, Shi Qinghuan also spoke, "You have to choose some medicinal materials and help me buy medicinal materials and start brewing them. I will diagnose your pulse again for all of you."
As soon as these words came out, the prefect hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am willing to mobilize officers and soldiers to cooperate with you two."
The prefects all spoke, and the people naturally had no other concerns and stepped forward to help.
In this way, the personnel were divided, one wave followed Bailiheng up the mountain, and the other wave stayed in the town to help Shi Qinghuan.
Ultimately, the source of this heavy fog is the terrain.
The terrain cannot be changed easily, so the best solution is to leave and change places.
Bailiheng discussed with the mayor, and together with the advice provided by the prefect, they chose a sunny place not far from here.
It is both suitable for living and conducive to farming.
After choosing a place, it’s time to build.
Although no one in the town lived past forty, there was still no shortage of men. With the help of officers and soldiers, new homes soon began to be built in an orderly manner.
As for Shi Qinghuan, he set up a medical hut in the town to take pulses from the townspeople and treat them one by one except for the same illness.
Her medical skills were superb, and even though it only took a few days, the people felt the changes in their bodies and praised her.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the arrangements in the town were steadily progressing.
Sun Peng was also sent to prison in a neighboring city because of legal regulations.
It's a pity that he was very strict. No matter how they interrogated him, they didn't reveal any information about the mastermind behind the scenes.
It was night again, and Shi Qinghuan was sitting outside the window, leaning on the railing, looking not far away with a gentle expression.
The people's new residences were not yet completed and they could not leave the town, but they lit bonfires here every day, which not only made the whole town as bright as day, but also dispelled part of the dense fog and made it very warm.
There were footsteps behind him, and as soon as Shi Qinghuan turned around, a cloak fell on Shi Qinghuan.
Bailiheng handed the hot tea to Shi Qinghuan, and then sat down next to her.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, I just feel very happy to see what they look like now."
"Yes, the ones I fought against before were all those who were killing people in the court, but I never thought that in these places I have never seen, there are such seemingly insignificant crises with serious consequences. .”
"Yes, it is indeed more terrifying to have people's hearts deceived and distorted than those openly killing people."
Speaking of this, Shi Qinghuan thought of Sun Peng again, "By the way, what should we do about Sun Peng?"
I have been busy with things in the town these days and haven't been able to go to the neighboring city yet.
But in fact, even if you go, you may not be able to ask anything.
Bailiheng naturally understood this.
"Sun Peng is more strict than we thought. Maybe there is a bigger secret behind the scenes than we guessed, so that even in this situation, he can't... no, he doesn't dare to tell the truth behind the scenes. The chief envoy."
"How about we try in another direction? There's nothing wrong with Sun Peng..."
The two looked at each other and smiled, "But his things may not have no clues."
Without any hesitation, the two went back to the inn.
The inn was still brightly lit, and as soon as he entered the inn, he saw a familiar figure standing inside.
It's Bainiang.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen her in the past few days.
Shi Qinghuan stepped forward, "Bainiang?"
After tentatively asking, Bainiang turned around and said, "You are finally here."
finally come!
"Are you waiting for us?"
"follow me!"
Bainiang didn't say much, just picked up the oil lamp and walked towards the backyard.
Although Shi Qinghuan looked confused, he still followed along with Bailiheng.
"Thank you both for your help these days. I've heard about it."
"This is what we should do, but I haven't seen you in the past few days. I'll check your pulse again when I get back."
"No need, I know my body myself."
After speaking, he coughed a few times. Shi Qinghuan wanted to step forward, but Bainiang waved her hand and pointed to a house not far away.
"That's the woodshed there. There will be what you want."
After saying that, Bainiang turned and left.
Shi Qinghuan wanted to ask something else, but was stopped by Bailiheng.
"That's all, she has good intentions, but she doesn't want to say more, so just let her be!"
Seeing Bainiang's figure disappear into the thick fog, Shi Qinghuan felt an inexplicable sadness and uneasiness.
But he didn't think much about it and entered the woodshed with Bailiheng.
