Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2123 Release of Poison Gas

The old woman sneered, and it was unclear whether it was mocking or regretful. She said in a contemptuous voice: "But, after all, the people suffer in war."

"Girl, this is what I know." She looked at Wan Shufang, her eyes shrewd, "I hope it will be useful to you."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang was slightly startled, then she thought of something and nodded: "Old lady, you are kind-hearted, I will definitely live up to your trust."

“What’s good or bad? I’m just telling a story that I know.” The old woman waved her hands, gently coaxed the child in her arms, and slowly closed her eyes.

Listening to the old woman humming a ballad, Wan Shufang's thoughts gradually drifted away. She had tested the ores and found that they contained special metals, which caused the villagers to be poisoned.

But she had overlooked one point before. That kind of metal seemed to be able to be refined into sharp alloys for making cold weapons, but the refining process would release poisonous gas.

This way, everything makes sense!

Wan Shufang was so excited that she couldn't help asking, "Old lady, can you tell me in detail about the government's weapons forging?"

"How can I know the specific details?" The old woman glanced at her and said calmly, "However, the imperial court once closed the mine, but in recent years, some people have secretly mined the ore and traded it."

"Alas, those miners died one after another. It is said that they all turned into zombies. It is very scary."

After hearing this, Wan Shufang understood that these villagers must have spread rumors that the miners' bodies were suffering from poisoning and turned them into zombies.

Now that she knows the truth, she will not let the people continue to misunderstand and panic.

Thinking of this, Wan Shufang's eyes flickered slightly, and she took the initiative to move closer to the old woman, and said with her red lips: "Grandma, you all misunderstood. Those corpses did not turn into zombies, they were just poisoned."

"The corpse has white hair because of a skin disease caused by some kind of toxin. It's not haunted." Wan Shufang was worried that she wouldn't understand, so she deliberately used words that people of this era could understand, and did not use professional terms like heavy metal poisoning.

At this moment, the old woman's arms around the child tightened, and it was obvious that she believed her. She said excitedly, "Are you serious? If so, then we are all saved."

The old woman was very happy. There was always an antidote for poisoning. In her mind, as long as it was not haunted, everything could be saved.

As if she could see the old woman's expectation, Wan Shufang smiled and nodded, and made a promise: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, they will all be saved. I will definitely take care of this matter to the end and do my best to ensure that the people are safe."

"Good, good, good, you are also a good child." The old woman used the words that Wan Shufang used to praise her, and then praised Wan Shufang in return. Her simple look made Wan Shufang feel a little embarrassed.

Touched, she looked at the old woman and the child and gently reminded them, "Grandma, although there is no ghost here, the poisonous gas is rampant. You should move out quickly."

"If you are exposed to this poison for a long time, it will make you mentally ill. The longer you stay here, the worse it will be."

Hearing this, the old woman hugged the child tightly in her arms, and couldn't help but rub the child's head with her chin, her eyes were full of nervousness: "Really? If we stay for too long, we will also be poisoned?"

"Yes." Wan Shufang nodded vigorously, holding her old hand, and said earnestly: "So, mother-in-law, you and your family should move out as soon as possible, and persuade the neighbors who can leave to move out as well."

"Okay, okay, let's move. I'll go back and tell my daughter-in-law that she must move."

The old woman looked anxious and was about to get up and go home with the child in her arms. Seeing that the old woman had taken her words to heart, Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief.

Before leaving, she still stuffed the silver into the old woman's pocket and gave her a lot more.

"Mother-in-law, you will need money for many things after you leave the village. Take these silver coins as a token of my appreciation."

As she spoke, Wan Shufang took out her own purse, indicating to the old woman that she still had some, and urged her to accept it: "I still have a lot of silver here, you should accept it, it will be useful."

As soon as she finished speaking, the silver had already been stuffed into the mother-in-law's pocket. Seeing this, the old woman was hesitant, but she was holding the child and could not compete with Wan Shufang.

Thinking that they would need silver during the move, and seeing that she was not short of money, he accepted the silver: "Thank you very much, thank you benefactor."

"I should thank my mother-in-law." Wan Shufang smiled and waved goodbye to the old woman.

If she hadn't met the old woman, she wouldn't have known the predecessor of Crow Ridge, and wouldn't have been able to make a better judgment. The two watched the old woman leave.

Just as Wan Shufang returned to the inn and made a plan to deal with the radiation, a group of martial arts masters had gathered in the mine, ready to fight for the spirit stones.

When the news reached Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, the martial arts masters had already entered the village and went up the mountain, and were about to reach the mine. The two of them did not have time to work on their half-formulated plan and hurried over.

At this moment, in the mine.

Under the dark sky, a large group of people stood in front of the mine.

Looking at the spirit stone glowing faintly underground, everyone showed excited smiles on their faces.

"Great, we finally found the spiritual stone. This is the most powerful black iron in the world. It can definitely be used to make the sharpest sword."

"So this is the spirit stone." The man took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly: "It is definitely not an ordinary thing, even the smell is so intoxicating"

"With the spirit stones, our sect will definitely be able to rank among the top sects and become a major sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the people around suddenly became greedy. They were wearing different clothes, naturally representing various sects.

Soon, the group of people took the initiative to disperse and formed several teams to confront each other.

"You ignorant boy, this thing should belong to our Emei Sect. Who do you think you are?"

"Bullshit, this is from our Wudang."

"The Emei Sect and the Wudang Sect are just relying on their age to bully others. Let me tell you, we small sects are not weak either."

"Yes, we are not weak at all."

In an instant, several sects were confronting each other, the atmosphere was high, and the spiritual stones in the mine were still shining, tempting people to fight for it.

The battle was about to break out. At the same time, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang finally arrived.

Looking at the tense group of people, Wan Shufang frowned, put on a protective mask, rushed into the crowd, and broke the solemnity. With a cold face, she raised her voice: "Everyone, stop arguing."

"This is not a spiritual stone at all, but a highly poisonous substance. Do not touch it, otherwise you will be poisoned and your life will be in danger!"

Wan Shufang deliberately emphasized her tone in order to prevent these people from rushing to snatch the spirit stones without knowing what was going on and causing irreversible consequences.

She hadn't rescued the common people yet, and didn't want to rescue another wave of people. But even if she explained the pros and cons, those people were still wavering. Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring into the deep pit, as if they were determined to find out the truth no matter what.
