Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Outside the door, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, and Xu Tong finally heaved sighs of relief when they saw Master Chi come out not long after. Yang Kun walked up to Master Chi first and couldn’t help but murmur, “Master, I now feel that the people in this village are each stranger than the last! How can such a strange person raise such a soft and cute child?”
Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong told Brother Kun not to talk nonsense. They were still outside the door. It would be very awkward if the other party heard them badmouthing her.
Chi Shuyan’s face softened a little. She glanced at Yang Kun, who immediately shut up obediently.
“Let’s go!” Chi Shuyan said. She paused and glanced at the liniment in Yang Kun’s hand, then asked to take a look at it.
Yang Kun immediately gave the bottle to Master Chi and said that he just had minor injuries; if Master Chi needed it, he would give it to her.
!!
Chi Shuyan didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she unscrewed the cap and took a sniff. She realized that the smell of medicinal alcohol was very strong. This meant that the medicinal effects of this liniment were probably very good. It wasn’t something ordinary doctors who knew herbs could concoct.
In particular, she thought of the variety of herbs in Aunt Miao’s courtyard just now. Her skills were simply too good. She felt that Aunt Miao’s ident.i.ty was probably not simple, and this person knew a lot in particular about herbs.
She had once heard that some minority clans had skills which were pa.s.sed down through the generations. For example, some were very good at using poison, medicine, and the Gu bug. Although she didn’t know which particular clan Aunt Miao belonged to, Chi Shuyan had some guesses. However, she was more curious about how Aunt Miao, who was so skilled with herbs, had entered Dashan village and married into the Xu family.
Just from the way Aunt Miao spat out the words “the afterlife” as she swept Chi Shuyan out the door, she probably knew a lot. Chi Shuyan felt that if she wanted to know the secrets behind the village, the only breakthrough would be with Aunt Miao.
Moreover, from what Aunt Miao said, she didn’t believe much in the True Buddha in this village, and even seemed to know some of the specific secrets related to it.
It wasn’t strange that Aunt Miao would know something of what happened in the Xu family back then, but Chi Shuyan was surprised that Aunt Miao didn’t believe in the True Buddha like the rest of the village.
The biggest breakthrough now would be with Aunt Miao, but thinking of her strange temperament, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but sigh.
“Master, what are you thinking?” Ruan Shenglin and his wife couldn’t help but ask when they saw Master Chi sigh repeatedly.
Chi Shuyan replied, “In the future, be careful not to call me ‘Master’ in front of everybody else in the village. You can use my name!”
Ruan Shenglin, Xu Tong and Yang Kun hurriedly waved their hands in shock.
Chi Shuyan explained, “This village is too strange. I can’t say for sure what will happen in the next second, so if we can keep some things quiet for now, we should. By the way, apart from being a Master, I’m also a freshman at Yanjing University this year.”
Chi Shuyan also wanted to get closer to Ruan Shenglin and the others.
Sure enough!
When Chi Shuyan mentioned how she was a freshman at Yanjing University, she closed the distance slightly with Ruan Shenglin and the others, so they were able to better accept calling her by name. Xu Tong and Chi Shuyan got along well to begin with, so the former was the first to get used to it. She giggled and asked her how old Chi Shuyan was, and the two drew close and talked in low voices together.
