Kong Wu knew that Ji Baiqing's life was tied to Cui Fangzheng's life. Seeing Cui Fangzheng getting anxious, he was frightened and spoke quickly.

"Li Zheng, this has nothing to do with me. How would I know he was so weak? His wife is fine. It's his own fault. You can't blame me."

Cui Fangzheng didn't have time to chat with Kong Wu about trivial things, so he rolled his eyes at Kong Wu and asked.

"How is he doing now?"

"Oh no! When I arrived at his house this morning, I saw him lying on the kang like a cricket pupa. I don't know what he went through that night. His eyes were red and he was tossing and turning. He couldn't even lie down. It was so painful to see him. I think he's probably dying."

"What the hell? He's dying? He can't die!"

Cui Fangzheng became so anxious that he raised his voice.

Kong Wu forced himself to ignore the gazes around him and he tried to persuade him.

"Don't worry, Li Zheng. He's not dead yet."

He looked around and then whispered into Cui Fangzheng's ear.

"Li Zheng, I don't think he is tired. He doesn't look that tired."

Cui Fangzheng's expression suddenly changed and he asked.

"what do you mean?"

Kong Wu nodded and said in a low voice.

"I think he's possessed."

Bewitched?

Cui Fangzheng's eyes suddenly widened.

But Ji Baiqing has only been here for a few days, how could he be possessed?

As he was thinking, Wang Xiu'e suddenly pounced on him and knelt down in front of him with a limp body.

"Village head, I beg you to help my uncle, Lao Ji. I noticed something was wrong with him after the meeting. He felt uncomfortable all day yesterday and vomited several times. Last night he was in even worse condition. He tossed and turned all night. He said his stomach hurt so much and he felt like something was crawling on his body."

Wang Xiu'e cried with tears and snot.

She didn't know that Ji Baiqing's death would implicate Cui Fangzheng, and Cui Fangzheng was more afraid than she was that something might happen to Ji Baiqing.

She knelt down and begged.

"Li Zheng, now only you can save my old Ji. I can't live without him. He can't die. Otherwise, the four of us mothers will not survive. Wuuuuuu..."

As Wang Xiu'e spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked up and said to Cui Fangzheng.

"By the way, Li Zheng, my man said that it must be Xiao Yunfei and that little bitch Su Miaomiao who did this. He didn't realize something was wrong until he returned from Xiao Yunfei's house. And that Zhang Xing, yes, the problem must be with Zhang Xing! Zhang Xing also had close contact with my man that night."

Xiao Yunfei, Zhang Xing......

Hearing these two names, Cui Fangzheng recalled what happened that night.

At that time, he saw Xianzhan and Xiao Yunfei talking in the house, so he waited outside for a while, and only went into the house after Zhang Xing came out.

He remembered that Zhang Xing said at that time that he wanted to go and see if Ji Baiqing had left.

Zhang Xing was in a hurry at that time, and seemed a little excited?

Moreover, because of Zhang Xing's help in finding the child, the news that Zhang Xing can tell fortunes has spread in the village.

Everyone thinks Zhang Xing is amazing.

Thinking of this, he felt that Zhang Xing was indeed suspicious.

He looked down at Wang Xiu'e, then walked towards Xiao Yunfei.

"Brother Yunfei, come with me."

Xiao Yunfei had been paying attention to Wang Xiu'e and heard everything they said just now.

He was not surprised that Cui Fangzheng found him, so he told everyone.

"Keep practicing and don't be lazy. I'll be back soon."

After he said that, he followed Cui Fangzheng to the side.

Avoiding the crowd, Cui Fangzheng spoke tentatively.

"Brother Yunfei, does Ji Baiqing's inability to get up from the kang have anything to do with your family?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yunfei admitted it frankly without any hesitation.

Cui Fangzheng thought that it would take some effort to get the answer he wanted, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He was stunned for a moment, then asked with a frown.

"why?"

"You know I have a grudge against him."

"Well, I know, but you promised me that you wouldn't kill him. You know that the higher-ups gave me a death order, I..."

"I knew that, so I didn't kill him."

"But Kong Wu said Ji Baiqing is dying!"

Cui Fangzheng's tone was a little anxious. After all, it concerned him and he really couldn't remain calm for the moment.

Xiao Yunfei's tone became a little colder and he spoke very calmly.

"He won't die. If you're really worried, take Zhang Xing with you to see him."

Cui Fangzheng realized that Xiao Yunfei was a little unhappy, so he reflected on it and apologized immediately.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yunfei, I was too anxious just now and didn't pay attention to my tone."

He then softened his tone and continued.

"I know you can't hurt me, I'm just afraid of something unexpected happening. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, what if...right? So I decided to let Zhang Xing accompany me. If Ji Baiqing is okay, I'll be relieved. Don't be unhappy, brother."

Seeing Cui Fangzheng so scared, Xiao Yunfei patted Cui Fangzheng on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, I won't be unhappy."

Cui Fangzheng felt relieved after hearing these words. A light flashed in his eyes and he pointed behind him and said.

"Brother Yunfei, I'll go then." He was about to leave but then stepped back, frowning and asking, "But what if Brother Zhang Xing doesn't want to go with me?"

Zhang Xing is indeed not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others, and ordinary people really cannot order Zhang Xing around.

Cui Fangzheng's worries were not unnecessary.

Xiao Yunfei narrowed his eyes and said.

"If he doesn't go, tell him I asked him to go."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Cui Fangzheng called Wang Xiu'e and walked quickly towards Xiao Yunfei's house.

At this moment, Zhang Xing was sitting in the yard making soup.

In front of me was a row of small clay pots, steam rising from them.

The yard was filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which made people frown.

When Cui Fangzheng walked to the door, he turned and said to Wang Xiu'e.

"Stand here and wait. Don't go in and upset anyone."

"Okay, I'll just stand here and wait for you. I won't go anywhere."

Wang Xiu'e said this with a flattering look on her face.

Cui Fangzheng glanced at her and walked into the yard.

At this time, Wang Xiu'e called him, but hesitated to speak.

"Upright."

"What's wrong again?"

"Li Zheng, my husband's survival depends on you. As long as you help my family through this difficult time, I will repay you with my services. You can repay me in any way you want."

He understood the implication in Wang Xiu'e's words.

He didn't have any extra thoughts and just felt sad seeing a woman fall into such a situation.

A woman who is penniless and even has her freedom restricted is afraid of losing her husband who she can rely on, but she has nothing to offer.

Only that body is left with hope of being exchanged for something.

But whether it can really be exchanged for something, and whether others are willing to accept it, are not things she can decide.

Now she has reached a situation where she can't grasp anything.

Cui Fangzheng paused, sighed, and then strode into the yard.

When he saw Zhang Xing, he immediately smiled.

"Brother Zhang Xing, are you boiling the medicine? Why are you boiling so much?"
