#268 - The poison disaster is solved!
"Quick!"
"Everyone out here now!"
"Follow me to kowtow to Lady White!"
With a deafening rumble of thunder, a bloody mist soared into the sky.
The stench instantly wafted several miles away.
Had a great demon just been blasted into nothingness?
From behind the door, Master Zhang witnessed everything clearly, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Then, with a loud yell, he shouted for people to quickly open the main gate.
He didn't know the exact strength of the great toad demon.
The toad was clearly silenced before it could finish its sentence, and such methods were beyond ordinary mortals.
Even if Xu Chengxian no longer mentioned building a temple for Lady White, he would have to make it a certainty!
Without the protection of Lady White, if an even greater demon than the toad spirit came, wouldn't they be devoured whole?
His loud shout carried far in the silence.
It wasn't just to summon his own family but also the people of Song Family Village.
The Zhang family and Song Family Village had been in cahoots for many years.
They still had some understanding, considering they engaged in robbery.
As soon as he called out, Song Family Village hesitated slightly before responding immediately.
They had fallen out before for their own survival, but now, working together was also for survival!
"Everyone, come out quickly!" Song Dayou shouted.
"Don't be afraid; the demon is dead!" Zhang Yun'er added. "Our Lady White killed it!"
This old woman, capable of becoming a respected figure and one of the most influential voices in Song Family Village as a woman, relied on more than just her age and husband.
Her words were incredibly effective.
She immediately set the tone for what had happened and what was to come.
The demon was killed by Lady White.
Lady White is part of our family.
Those who understood immediately crowded around the two elders and hurried out.
Those who didn't understand followed suit when they saw this.
Soon, a crowd of people gathered again at the village entrance.
They shouted:
"Greetings, Lady White!"
"We kowtow to Lady White!"
"Lady White, we kowtow to Lady White!"
While shouting, they tried to move forward.
Regardless of the toad demon's flesh and blood on the ground, they knelt down to kowtow.
However, they were still a little late and had to kneel behind Master Zhang's family.
Of course, Master Zhang's kneeling in front wasn't for nothing.
As soon as this man finished kowtowing with his rear in the air, he straightened up and quickly cupped his hands towards Lady White in the sky: "My Lady! Lady White is merciful! You must have known we were in trouble and came specifically to save us! This old one was blind and didn't recognize your true form, I am guilty, I am guilty!"
"You don't need to be like this; I live in your home, and you have never mistreated me," Lady White said with a smile.
As soon as she spoke, silence fell below.
Everyone listened attentively, not daring to make a sound.
"My Lady doesn't hold it against us; it is a testament to My Lady's magnanimity!"
As soon as Master Zhang heard Lady White respond, he became even more energetic and immediately raised his voice, saying, "My Lady is gracious to us, and I am willing to offer my family fortune to build a temple and sculpt a golden statue for My Lady, seeking blessings for generations and offering sacrifices for generations!"
"It's just the elimination of a demon; it's not a great favor," Lady White said indifferently.
"This…" Master Zhang was stunned, as if not knowing how to respond.
Xu Chengxian thought, 'It's my turn to step in now.'
"My Lady," he said, "Eliminating a demon is nothing to My Lady. However, I see that these people still have a difficulty, why not take care of it together, My Lady?"
As soon as he said this, Master Zhang's eyes lit up immediately.
The originally apprehensive villagers of Song Family Village were also invigorated.
Song Dayou quickly bowed and said, "My Lady! Lady White! If My Lady can resolve the poison disaster and save the lives of all 463 people in Song Family Village, we are also willing to build a temple and erect a statue for Lady White, contributing money and effort!"
"Oh, you old man, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Yun'er immediately spat at him and scolded, "Lady White has eliminated the demon, and we should offer sacrifices; how can we bargain with My Lady, it's disrespectful!"
"It doesn't matter. I am not an unreasonable being. I know why you worship me," Lady White suddenly smiled, "Besides, resolving the poison disaster is just a small matter."
"My Lady?"
"What does My Lady mean?"
"Can the poison disaster be resolved?"
Song Dayou and Zhang Yun'er looked delighted and surprised.
They thought, 'Could this Lady White really be so powerful as to resolve this poison disaster that almost forced them to their deaths with a wave of her hand?'
Thinking again that the toad demon who cast the poison disaster had no room to dodge in front of Lady White, they felt that perhaps it really was so.
"Please save us, My Lady!"
"Please save us, My Lady!"
"Please, Lady White, save us!"
In an instant, everyone knelt down, kowtowing and begging Lady White to save them from suffering.
Whether they were from the Zhang residence or the villagers of Song Family Village, their hearts were burning with hope.
Especially the latter.
Having food was only a temporary solution.
Being able to resolve the poison disaster and continue planting food was the fundamental solution.
"Very well, I will help you resolve the poison disaster first," Lady White said.
"Thank you, My Lady!"
"Thank you, Lady White!"
"Lady White is greatly compassionate!"
Knowing that there was hope for salvation, some people were already weeping with joy before Lady White even cast her spell.
"I don't know how My Lady will cast the spell?" Master Zhang asked eagerly, "Do you need us to build an altar? Prepare paper money?"
"None of that is necessary," Lady White shook her head. "This evening, there will be a light rain. I will use this spring rain to resolve the poison disaster."
"However, it's best if you avoid this rain."
"Tomorrow morning, you can go and check and verify for yourselves."
After saying that, she raised her hand.
Auspicious clouds surrounded her, obscuring her and the girl beside her.
Amidst the shining light, they descended into the courtyard of the Zhang residence.
… …
In the evening.
As expected, the wind picked up.
"The wind is blowing!"
Someone shouted.
The people of Song Family Village were eagerly waiting.
As the wind rose, clouds gathered in the sky.
Then, the sky darkened.
After that, there were sporadic raindrops falling.
"It's raining!"
"It's really raining!"
Everyone shouted, but they didn't dare to go out in the rain.
Lady White had said to avoid it.
Some people smelled a faint fishy smell in the rain.
However, they didn't think much of it, assuming it was the smell of the toad's flesh and blood that had been soaked by the rain.
Spring rain was undoubtedly something farmers liked.
But this rain made everyone even happier.
They waited almost impatiently for the entire night.
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Seeing that the rain had stopped, many people quietly gathered at Song Dayou's home.
Someone went to the well to draw water.
"Give it to me."
A middle-aged man reached out to take it, but Zhang Yun'er stopped him.
"Fifth Nephew, I'll drink this water," she said, taking the ladle without question and drinking it clean.
Then, supported by Song Jue, she went inside.
Then there was another wait.
After waiting a full hour.
"It's okay! Everything is fine now!" Song Jue ran out, his eyes shining brightly, "Grandma is fine! Nothing at all!"
The poison disaster was resolved!
Soon, everyone in Song Family Village received the news.
The village immediately became lively.
The news quickly spread to the surrounding villages… …
