Chapter 62 Witch
After dealing with all the fairy spider worms, Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou returned to the manor and headed towards the place they had agreed upon with the old patriarch.
The children had already been taken home by their parents when, as they passed a house, a pretty girl carrying a basket called out to them.
"You two adults, please stay."
Yun Qingyi looked over and recognized the girl who had stopped them earlier; her name seemed to be Xiao Wei.
She smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Wei, is there something you need?"
When Xiao Wei heard Yun Qingyi call her name, she was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect the adult to remember her name. She blushed and handed the basket in her hand to Yun Qingyi.
Yun Qingyi took the basket, lifted the red cloth covering it, and found a whole basket of eggs inside. The eggs were of different sizes, but they filled the basket completely.
"Thank you for saving those children, sir. These are eggs laid by my old hen. They taste delicious, please don't find them offensive."
After speaking, Xiao Wei paused, her eyes filled with guilt and apology as she looked at Yun Qingyi: "Also, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I didn't expect that you and that vixen really had nothing to do with each other. I just thought you looked so much like her, and in my haste, I did that kind of thing. I'm so sorry, sir!"
Yun Qingyi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I didn't care, don't worry about it."
“But…” Yun Qingyi looked at the egg in her hand, her face showing hesitation.
"These eggs must be very valuable to your family. We'll just take a few; you don't need to give me so many."
After saying that, Yun Qingyi handed the basket back to Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei stopped Yun Qingyi's actions and shook her head firmly: "My lord, there's no need to be so polite. Although these eggs are very precious to me, they are nothing compared to what you two have done. If you don't accept them, it means you haven't forgiven me yet."
"And..." Xiao Wei's eyes looked somewhat forlorn as she said this.
"I can't eat that much by myself."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi stopped insisting and accepted the eggs.
"Thank you, Xiaowei."
Seeing that Yun Qingyi had accepted the eggs, Xiao Wei smiled and said, "I should be thanking you two."
"Qingyi! Qingrou!" Aunt Zhang called out to the two of them with a big smile from not far away.
"Here, take these zongzi that your auntie made." Aunt Zhang ran over with a smile and handed a package to Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou.
Yun Qingrou hesitated for a moment and looked at Yun Qingyi.
Yun Qingyi hesitated for a moment: "Aunt Zhang, this..."
"I just saw it. You girls accepted Xiaowei's eggs. Qingyi, you can't be biased. You must accept these zongzi."
"Okay." Yun Qingyi didn't say anything more and put the eggs and rice dumplings into her storage bracelet.
Aunt Zhang and Xiao Wei were amazed when they saw the rice dumpling and egg suddenly disappear, thinking how many amazing abilities the adults possessed.
Ever since they accepted the gifts from Xiaowei and Aunt Zhang, people have been bringing gifts for Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou along their way.
Most of the food was homemade, along with a few old hens, which they said were for making soup for the two of them.
Yun Qingyi was both amused and exasperated. Although these things were of no use to them, she accepted them all and expressed her gratitude to the villagers.
They continued collecting as they went, and soon reached the exit of the village, the place they had agreed upon with the old clan chief.
The old clan chief was already waiting there, surrounded by some villagers.
Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou walked over quickly.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Upon hearing this, the clan chief quickly waved his hand: "No, no, we won't keep you waiting. Even if we had to wait a long time, we would be willing to."
Yun Qingyi took out the prepared medicinal herbs, as well as several hundred taels of gold and silver, and said to the old clan chief, "Take all of these."
"My lord, we do need the medicinal herbs, so we'll accept them. As for the gold and silver..." The old clan chief looked at the wealth he had never seen in his life, and was very excited and shocked. He composed himself and looked away.
They couldn't accept it; the two adults had already helped them too much.
Just as the old clan chief was about to refuse, he heard Yun Qingyi say, "You cannot refuse these gold and silver."
Yun Qingyi said solemnly, “Moreover, I want you to move out of this village as soon as the children are feeling better. This gold and silver is the travel money I’m giving you. With it, you can settle down well in other places.”
Upon hearing this, the old clan chief no longer refused and obediently ordered people to put away the medicinal herbs and gold and silver. The elder must have her reasons for doing so.
"By the way, clan leader," Yun Qingyi said to the old clan leader, remembering something, "Could you tell us more about that demoness?"
Yun Qingyi is now basically certain that the so-called demoness is Yun Yu'er, and that both the immortal cockroach and the immortal spider insect originated from the Kuntian Domain of the Southern Spirit Continent.
And the Moon-Holding Valley is located in the Kuntian Domain.
She wanted to know why Yun Yu'er had crossed half a continent to come to the mortal realm of the Northern Spirit Continent to collect life essence.
The old patriarch fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "We don't know much either. Since those four people came here, the black spots on the children's bodies have gotten much worse."
“At first we didn’t really believe those people, but the supernatural powers they displayed were unlike anything we’d ever seen in our lives.”
"Especially that girl, she was able to break trees several miles apart with ice blades, which we all found incredible at the time."
"The girl claimed to be a goddess from heaven, and told us to venerate her, saying she could heal children."
"But this is not how you cure an illness!" The old clan chief gritted his teeth in resentment at this thought.
“She’s just harming people! At first, the children did seem much healthier, but after a couple of days, their eyes went glazed over and the dark spots on their bodies started to reappear.”
“We were very anxious to see the children like this. This situation lasted for a month, and the children’s condition was getting worse and worse. Some villagers couldn’t bear it anymore and took the children to demand an explanation.”
"As a result..." At this point, the old clan chief's eyes dimmed, and the surrounding villagers also showed a sorrowful expression.
"As a result, all those people, including the children, were killed by that witch. They hung the severed heads on the trees as a warning to others."
Let's not bother her unless it's absolutely necessary.
As he spoke, the old clan chief choked up.
“We were all shocked and angry at the time, and wanted to avenge the villagers, but the reality was that the families who went to seek revenge were also killed. Xiao Wei went with them, but I stopped her and she survived by chance.”
"Xiao Wei?" Yun Qingyi was slightly taken aback when she heard the name.
“Yes,” said the villager standing next to the old clan chief.
"Xiao Wei's parents, her five-year-old brother, and her infant sister were all killed by that witch."
