The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 88 - 88 88 Poisoned and Sick at the Same Time

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Poisoned and Sick at the Same Time Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Poisoned and Sick at the Same Time Who could explain to her, why this blood was both poisoned and diseased at the same time?

Was it making a fool of her?

Taking a deep breath, she emptied the contents of both bowls onto the ground. She then cleaned the bowls with Qingshui and filled them again, deciding to try one more time.

This time, she chose a different person, thinking that the illness might have already been in that man before.

And yet, she was disappointed. Both bowls of blood turned out the same – one green, one black. It indicated that the people of this town were both poisoned and sick at the same time.

Or perhaps it could be said that the strange contagion they had contracted itself consisted of this peculiar poison, with disease and poison coexisting.

“Immortal, is there any hope for us?” the old woman asked, looking at Lin Caisang with hopeful eyes.

“You all…”

“Where is the physician who issued the public announcement? Is she here?”

She was just about to speak when she heard several voices simultaneously. Looking up, she saw dozens of people approaching the straw shed, dressed in rich clothing.

“I am the one who posted the announcement. You are…”

“Oh, Doctor, I am Old Master Hong from the Hong family. I heard about your announcement. I was hoping you could stay with us first. We have already prepared a room for you.”

A plump middle-aged man piled on the smiles and stepped forward towards Lin Caisang.

“Old Master Hong, this is none of your business. Do your family members have more severe symptoms than mine? Doctor, you should come to my house…”

“Doctor, come to my place. I have already ordered a meal to be prepared. You must be hungry after your long journey?”

“Doctor, come to my place. My family runs a pharmacy and we have all the necessary medicinal herbs ready for you to use. If there’s something you need that we don’t have, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do my utmost to find it for you.”

“Doctor, please come to my place. We are the closest, and our situation is the most severe…”

The patrons all argued, but it was the speaking up of one skinny middle-aged man with a thin face that drew all their attention to him.

“Shut up, Gong. What has this got to do with you? Scram!”

“Who would dare to live in your cursed home? No one wishes to get poisoned and killed by your wicked schemes. And you have the nerve to invite the doctor to your place? What are you up to?”

“Your family deserves its fate. Even if all my family’s medicinal resources were thrown into the water, I’d still not sell them to you Gong family!” The old patron who had claimed to run a pharmacy angrily refused Old Master Gong.

“You all…”

Old Master Gong trembled, intending to retort, but recalling his deeds that caused so many innocent lives, he simply wilted and fell silent.

“Doctor, you…”

“Honorable patrons, there is no need for further discussion. I will stay here in this straw shed. If anyone in your homes falls ill, they may come here.” Lin Caisang cut them off, their squabbling giving her a headache.

“And, since there is an official notice here, there must be representatives from the government, right? Please inform them that I am here and if there are any matters, they can discuss them over here.”

“This…”

The patrons, observing her assertiveness, could not deny her request and simply nodded their heads.
