Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“After the passage of time, the blessings produced by the treasure mountain are almost gone.”
“However, it is still enough to protect your village so you can live a carefree life.”
“A Feng Shui master coincidentally noticed your land.”
“The owner of an entertainment company hired this Feng Shui master to find the best Feng Shui place for his father’s corpse.”
“Unfortunately,” Chen Yu said, “the barren mountain in your village has become the target of these people’s illegal activities.”
“Dr. Chen, there’s something I don’t understand.”
Li Xiuhua’s mind was in a mess.
Even if the Li Family Village was a treasure trove and the owner of an entertainment company wanted to bury his father there, they could’ve discussed it openly with the person in charge of the village.
Why the sneaking around?
“Do you think the villagers will agree to his proposal to bury his father’s remains in your Li Family Village’s ancestral grave?” Chen Yu asked with a smile.
“This…”
Li Xiuhua paused, knowing everyone would definitely not agree.
The people buried on the mountain were all relatives of the Li family.
How could they agree to bury an outsider inside?
“Of course, the owner of the entertainment company understands this,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile.
“No matter how much money he offers, he might be unable to convince your village.”
“Even if your village chief and secretary agree, the other villagers might not agree.”
“Once someone sabotages him, it will ruin his plan.”
In this day and age, a treasured land with great Feng Shui is extremely rare.
Even though the Li Family Village’s Feng Shui was declining, it was still a treasure trove.
The owner of the entertainment company knew very well that the Li Family Village would not agree to him burying his father’s bones in the barren mountain.
Thus, he played a trick to deceive everyone.
With the excuse of filming, they sent a construction team to build a secret tomb on the mountain.
Then, he buried his father’s body in this grave.
He asked the Feng Shui master to set up an array to absorb the blessings from the Li Family Village continuously.
It was an extremely vicious plan.
Unless it absorbed all the blessings around the Li Family Village, the array wouldn’t stop working.
It was akin to the infamous scavenger fish, with no other fish in any pond where it lived because it would devour every other species.
Chen Yu secretly cursed the entertainment company’s owner for being so blackhearted.
Through this evil technique, one could devour luck for their own use.
Once the luck was completely absorbed, it would become a dead land.
There would no longer be any life to speak of, and the residents living there would have their luck plummet.
Everyone in the vicinity would be jinxed, have no luck, and suffer from endless disasters.
The luck gained from occupying the magpie’s nest would bless the entertainment company’s owner with riches and fame and ensure that his descendants could continue flourishing.
The absence of luck would not only affect people’s lives, but also the land.
If the balance of Yin and Yang were destroyed, plants on that land would also be implicated.
After explaining the story, Chen Yu said, “You’ve planted vegetables at the foot of the barren mountain and are feeding your daughter the vegetables that grow from a dead land. Over time, her body will naturally be affected.”
“As the array on the mountain continues to operate, it won’t be long before the other people in your village will be affected.”
“Even if you don’t eat or drink anything grown in that village, you will still feel inexplicably tired and uncomfortable.”
“When all of the Feng Shui blessing is gone, anyone living there will develop a deathly energy.”
“It will make your village a dead land.”
Li Xiuhua was so shocked that her face turned pale.
She had brought her daughter here to seek medical advice and did not expect to hear such a shocking revelation.
“Are… Are you lying to me…”
Li Xiuhua asked, trembling.
“After you return,” Chen Yu said in a genial voice, “tell my words to the people of your village.”
“Tell them to go halfway up the mountain and find a gigantic rock. With the rock as the center, walk six steps west and then dig down.”
“Dig about 1.55 meters, and there will definitely be something there.”
“If you want to verify what 1 said, you just have to go over and dig a shallow pit.”
Li Xiuhua went silent for a while before she replied, “Alright, 1’11 go find the village chief when 1 get back.”
“But my daughter’s illness…”
“Wait a moment.”
Chen Yu walked up to the shelf and brought back a bottle of AD calcium milk in his hand.
“Thank you, Dr. Chen. But Miaomiao doesn’t take snacks,” Li Xiuhua declined.
“This isn’t a snack,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “It’s a medicine to treat her illness.”
Li Xiuhua was stumped yet again.
It was clearly a bottle of milk. How could it be medicine?
The letters A and D were written in bold on it.
Even if she never went to university, Li Xiuhua had at least finished high school and was literate.
“100,000 yuan?!”
Li Xiuhua had yet to recover from her daze when she saw the price tag on the AD calcium milk.
There were five zeros before a one.
Chen Yu tore off the price tag and handed the AD calcium milk to Li Xiuhua.
“When you return home, feed it to her three times in the morning, afternoon, and evening.”
“The child’s condition will be completely improved.”
“But… 1 don’t have 100,000 yuan.”
Li Xiuhua didn’t dare to reject Chen Yu directly.
She could only say that she would not be able to fork out 100,000 yuan even if she sold everything.
“One yuan.”
“Just one…”
Li Xiuhua was stunned for a moment before she understood the reason for the price.
Chen Yu pitied her and Miaomiao, who had lost her father when she was young.
It was the only reason he would lower the price to one yuan.
“Dr. Chen, if it really can…”
“Don’t say anything. You pay, and I treat the patient. We don’t owe each other anything.”
He took one yuan from Li Xiuhua and asked them to return.
On the way back, Li Xiuhua skeptically gave her daughter a few mouthfuls of AD calcium milk.
After drinking three mouthfuls in a row, Miaomiao’s condition improved significantly.
Seeing that her daughter was much more energetic, Li Xiuhua no longer hesitated and rushed back to the village.
She immediately found the village chief and the old secretary and recounted everything she had heard from Chen Yu in detail.
After they saw that Miaomiao’s condition had indeed improved and that Chen Yu’s words sounded as if they were true, the village chief and the old secretary were also a little afraid.
They immediately found a group of young and strong villagers. They began to dig down after rushing to the gigantic rock halfway up the mountain.
“Village chief, secretary, there really are a coffin and bones down there!”
Twenty minutes later, the villagers dug out a coffin.
The coffin was painted red and had all kinds of strange patterns.
They pry open the coffin lid and find a decayed skeleton inside.
“Bastard!”
The hot-tempered village chief was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked the coffin.
“It seems that Dr. Chen is indeed capable,” said the old secretary with a gloomy face.
“Fortunately, Xiuhua went to look for him. Otherwise, our entire village would have died without knowing.”
“Uncle, tell me, what should we do? Everyone will listen to you.”
The village chief looked at the old secretary beside him.
The old secretary frowned and looked at the white bones in the coffin.
“Third Brother, bring some people to prepare firewood and get some gasoline!”
