Chapter 755: The head of the village of Hiki, is this the new "divine word"?

"before……"

Choji finally couldn't help it and began to tell the story.

"Before everything happened, the city's masters would come to buy ore from time to time and give us orders. But we resolved our own affairs by holding meetings. City people have their own rules, and Lord Ogosho also arranged his own rules for us..."

He watched the patients who came after hearing the news exchange their crystallized bone marrow with Jiang Yi for wheat and poultry.

"If it weren't for the war, I would have to attend the meeting as an 'auditor' in two years, but I don't really understand it. They say it's an 'obligation'... But I don't like being crowded together with a group of adults. It's too boring."

“But now everyone is gone.”

"I want to leave."

There was darkness, light, and hesitation in Choji's eyes that had never appeared before.

A patient sat carefully in a chair waiting for Jiang Yi's treatment.

"My mother...left."

"My mother passed away on the tenth day after it started raining on the island."

"Neither a letter nor a note, nothing was left behind..."

"I don't know why, but I felt she would leave a long time ago. Especially on the day when the uncles and aunts from the mine erected a tombstone for Dad..."

The sound in the rain seemed vague. Jiang Yi, who was originally prepared to listen, only had a trace of his mind left. Most of his energy was focused on devouring the "evil spirit" aura from the patients and soothing their spirits.

"Mom was very angry that day. I had never seen her so angry...Mom believes that Dad is still alive, and I believe it too." Changci didn't care. He just wanted to say it in front of others, talking about the dream hidden in his heart.

"I work hard to save money so that I can leave Bayun Island, eat more delicious food, and make delicious food for more people!"

"I heard that there is only one round-trip route to the East Country that has not been closed on the outlying islands... Maybe I still have a chance. I heard from the adults that as long as there are enough Moras, even the Lord of the Magistrates will open his eyes and let us go to sea."

Ying and Paimon sighed as they thought about the situation on the island.

"I'm going to Ta'ersha, where my mother used to work. Maybe someone can tell me if she passed by there." Long counted the rent Jiang Yi gave him today, "Then... I will find a way to go to Ming Shen Island, and then take a merchant ship to the East Country... What happens next will be dealt with according to circumstances."

"Wait a minute, when we came here, there was still a war going on. It was very dangerous." Paimon said, "Besides, you are such a young child, going out to adventure alone, do you know what you will face?"

Choji showed a bravery that was not suitable for his age: "If you don't do it just because you don't know what kind of risks you will face... there will be no such profession as adventurer in this world, right? Right, you are adventurers too."

Ying and Paimon were speechless.

After a moment of silence, Changci rubbed his face to get rid of the sleepiness and cheer himself up.

"I also have some 'crystallized bone marrow' here. Can I exchange it with you for wheat and poultry?" Changci ran over and took out a crystallized bone marrow from the corner of the house.

In his opinion, Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng were in the same group. They were also helping to exchange wheat and poultry for crystallized bone marrow with the patients, and they should not refuse his request.

Although I feel that the ore is sold a bit cheap.

"On Bayun Island, these ingredients... if you calculate it, they are indeed more expensive than these inedible minerals. I only exchange them for food for the next two days."

"If you still want minerals, buy them with Mora." Changci looked at Jiang Yi who was feeding the patient medicine. "I've always thought...if mom and dad were like everyone else and got the disease brought by the 'evil spirit'...maybe these crystals can be used to make medicine. Because they are also born from the skeleton of a giant snake...so, I have hidden several of them at home."

Paimon held his forehead with his hand and said, "They have switched to buying ore again. Now they are adding the ability to cure diseases to the ore to increase the price. If people are exposed to this stuff for a long time, it is obviously one of the culprits that cause strange diseases."

"No! This is what Mr. Baoben said." Nagaji said, "The other party is a student of the former doctor in our village, and now he is a traveling doctor. This is the hypothesis we speculated before you came, the hope of treatment. We know that minerals can make people sick, but we also think that minerals can heal people."

"Another hope is to go to Xumi. Some people say there is a way to cure this strange disease there. But the village chief rejected it. He said: The heartless country of sand and the ignorant beggars hiding in the rain forest who claim to be wise cannot protect you or cure you at all."

Paimeng shook his head: "This is totally wrong. Jiang Yi didn't even use these minerals to treat people. But why does Xumi look like this in the eyes of your village chief? Isn't it a land of wisdom?"

"A heartless, ignorant beggar...a very bad evaluation." Ying nodded.

"I don't know." Hearing Paimon's question, Choji shook his head.

Jiang Yi finished treating another patient and turned back to ask, "Want to exchange ingredients? I allow it."

Choji smiled.

"Oh right..." Paimon discovered something, "Jiang Yi is here to treat people. Where are Mr. You Yiben, the one you mentioned, and your village chief? Do you want to come and take a look?"

Changci spread his hands and said, "Everyone thinks Baoben is a liar. He only knows how to make soup with violet melon and sugar for them to drink, which can't cure anything. A few days ago, he seemed to have run out to collect Mingcao, hoping to use Mingcao to treat the patients."

"If you guys hadn't come, I would have gone out to look for someone. I'd have looked for mom on Bayun Island first. After all, it's hard to walk outside, and it's very likely that mom is still on the island."

"I will go find Dr. Bao Ben first and ask him...but he seems to hate me. Every time he sees me from a distance, he avoids me..."

"I'm also planning to look for my dad's co-worker... I heard from the adults that he's still on the island and might know something about my mom."

"...We can also ask for help from the pirate uncles... Although they don't get along with the adults in the shogunate, they are still quite friendly to us. Maybe they will agree to take me out to sea."

Ying looked at Changci and said, "You are thinking about leaving again."

"Kid, that's what I mean. We've gotten off topic." Paimon sighed, "You said you wanted to break even. Where's your village chief? Tell us now!"

Changci showed a little uneasiness: "The village chief, the village chief... is very scary."

"Scary?" Ying wondered.

"Yes!" said Choji, "The chief of Himiki Village, Washizu... He used to be a very good person, but now... he is very strange."

"He's scary. He always stares at my house from afar and talks to himself. I always feel like he's going to do something bad to me... or to mom."

"I hope the mother who left never met him."

"Why does the village chief make you feel scared? Where is he now?" Paimon asked.

"Hmm..." Choji thought for a moment, "Washizu built some shrines on the island in the past, originally to appease the spirit of the snake with offerings..."

"After all, we have to come into direct contact with the snake bone crystal ore. It's inevitable that we will get sick after a long time. But since the mine was closed, Washizu has become more and more abnormal and more and more terrifying... The way he worships the shrine is also becoming more and more... crazy."

The sound of the wind at night was like the howling of ghosts, and the thick fog brought by thunder and rainstorms made the areas outside the lights dim.

"Later, the adults who made such comments about Washizu disappeared one by one..." Choji said in a low voice.

Paimon shuddered. He felt that everything in the distance seemed to be baring fangs and claws. The houses looked like man-devouring monsters, and the tree trunks looked like thin and hideous backs.

"Bah! Jiang Yi is here, all demons and monsters should leave quickly." She stomped her feet fiercely, and after looking at Jiang Yi, she relaxed a little.

This is Jiang Yi, who is even more terrifying than Chongyun's pure yang body and is feared by all evil spirits.

"I don't know where Washizu is, but I have a guess." Choji thought for a moment and said, "Before, Washizu kept saying to us: 'Now, the only thing we can do is pray, hoping that our thoughts can be conveyed to His Majesty the Great Palace and end this war...'"

"He hopes everyone can gather around the shrine and pray together."

“So, I guess he might be near some shrine right now!

"That makes sense." Ying and Paimon nodded.

Changci lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I have told you so many things, can you two do me a favor?"

"What favor?" Ying looked at the kid who was unwilling to suffer any loss.

"Mom used to go to the nearby shrine to pray for Dad and me, and offer petals of hydrangeas. I want to go to the shrine to see if she has left any messages... but I'm afraid of meeting Washizu, so I can't get close to that place." Choji's eyes were full of the desire to live. His creed was that only by not doing anything dangerous could he find his mother.

"Okay! I understand!" Ying looked at the night, "We'll go check it out tomorrow."

"Thank you!" said Changci.

"It's too late. If you want to rest, go and rest first!" Jiang Yi supported a patient, lay down on the bed, and spoke to Ying, Paimeng and Changci.

"Then... I'll go to bed first." Changci hesitated and walked towards the house.

"I want to sleep too." Paimon felt very tired.

"Then Paimeng should go to sleep too!" Ying said, "I'll stay with Jiang Yi for a while."

"No need." Jiang Yi waved his hand.

"I can't sleep..." Ying said to Jiang Yi, her golden eyes reflecting the lights.

"Okay then!" Jiang Yi sat on the chair, waiting for the next patient.

Ying sat in the back, holding her chin with her hands, just watching.

Time passed little by little.

Jiang Yi stood up, turned around and picked up the dozing Ying. Ying woke up and said, "Sorry, my biological clock has come. Put me down and sleep here."

Ying pointed at the wooden board.

"Why bother... Never mind." Jiang Yi smiled, looked at Ying's eyes, and spread a mattress for her. "Cover her with a quilt, whatever you want!"

It's autumn now, and it's raining all the time, so we still have to cover ourselves with double quilts.

Oh! Let's cover those patients with a few pairs of quilts, Jiang Yi looked to the side.

After finishing, sit back in your original position.

Ying looked at his back, and he seemed to be blending into the light.

"Doctor, why don't you go and rest first? We can continue the treatment tomorrow." Several adults who came over stood up and suggested.

"If we delay for one more night, the situation will get worse. How can we rest while saving lives?" Jiang Yi stood up. "There are some crazy people locked in the room. It's hard to bring them here, right? I'll go there myself..."

He waved his hand in a gesture that did not admit rejection, inviting patients one by one.

"I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I don't want treatment!" The madman, who was full of hallucinations and whose face was smeared dark red with blood, saw the patients sleeping peacefully under the shed and sitting there drinking medicine, and shouted frantically.

In front of me, there seems to be a dead body, as if it is drinking poison.

Someone was holding a knife and laughing fiercely. Was it... was it the Kairan ghost? Was it... was it the village chief?

A look of fear appeared in his eyes.

Those bad rumors in my ears turned into nightmarish hallucinations.

"Quiet!"

A great and compassionate will directly soothes his spirit.

"I accept your hatred and your karma."

As those vague words came out, something seemed to be pulled out of my body, the illusion before my eyes was shattered, and the slightly bitter-sweet medicine liquid nourished my body.

A golden tree protected him, and a man in white swept away his filth.

"Is this... the new 'God's Word'?" He fainted. "It doesn't seem painful."

one night

Jiang Yi did not sleep. He healed all the people who were currently staying in Feimu Village, and helped those who were too tired to fall asleep and were afraid of the nightmare words to fall asleep.

Extracts filth, soothes the spirit, creates sweet dreams.

The six stars of the Southern Dipper shine faintly in the sky. Within the barrier, cause and effect, fate, life and death are controlled. I say... life is determined and disasters are overcome. The "evil spirit" cannot be contained.

Wisps of black air grew on the land and turned into ominous snake shadows that hated all living things. Eaves, pools, big trees, pottery jars... the "evil spirit" was everywhere.

Jiang Yi stood in the center of the village, and everyone was asleep.

Bodhi tree, lapis lazuli light, and golden light scattered.

In the earth, dragons and snakes hissed, and huge wings spread out on their bodies. Yinglong stretched out its dragon head to devour the hateful power of the "evil god" that had settled here and affected the earth's veins.
