Chapter 2236: Medical Treatment

The elderly master awkwardly smiled and said, "That’s good. I was worried they had offended the Prince and were killed by him!"

It’s no wonder the elderly master thought this way; Long Rui has always been known for his decisive and ruthless actions. Anyone who crosses him is bound to meet a bad end. The villagers were possessed, oblivious to the severity of their actions, and offending the Prince; it seemed reasonable for the Prince to kill them in a fit of anger.

Long Rui glanced at him and asked, "Are there any more patients like this in the village?"

The elderly master nodded and replied, "Yes, some are hiding inside their homes and haven’t come out. I dare not provoke them. They are incredibly strong, and I, being old and frail, am no match for them. I’m just afraid of accidentally getting injured by them. Pan Family Bay is unmanaged."

Long Rui nodded and said, "Master, do not worry. I will send someone to handle this matter shortly. For now, take these people back to the village first."

The elderly master, slightly fearful, asked, "Prince, they’re possessed. If we bring them back to the village, I’m afraid within a few days, the whole village will be possessed."

Long Rui: "Master, rest assured. I will send someone to deal with this matter. You go back to the village and find the largest, most secure house. I want to gather them together to make it easier to manage."

The Prince had spoken, and the elderly master had no choice since there were still possessed people in the village, and he dared not go back alone. Therefore, he called two strong young men to accompany him back.

Shortly after the elderly master had left, a bird call echoed from the sky.

"Coming, coming, we’re coming!"

Everyone looked up and saw a colorful little bird flying toward them.

The villagers were amazed: "Oh my, this bird can actually talk human language. We’ve never seen this before, truly a marvel."

Some young people picked up stones and mud from the ground and threw them into the air, wanting to hit it down.

Xuexue quickly stopped them, saying, "Everyone, don’t act rashly. It’s my little bird."

Upon hearing this, the villagers were startled. Oh dear! It was the bird raised by Madam Situ. If they attacked it, they would be courting death. So, they quickly dropped the stones and mud in their hands.

Xiao Jiu swooped down from the sky and landed on Xuexue’s shoulder, shouting at the villagers, "Bad guys, bad guys are all bad!"

"Ah hahahaha...!"

The villagers were amused, letting out a burst of joyful laughter, temporarily forgetting the worries brought by possession.

Although they were very interested in this smart little bird, they were wary of Xuexue and Long Rui, so they simply stood quietly from afar and watched.

"What happened? Did you call for help?" Xuexue asked softly.

It turned out that when they encountered the possessed villagers earlier, Xuexue had sent Xiao Jiu to call for help.

Xiao Jiu screeched, "They’re coming, they’re coming, Long Yi is bringing people from behind, they’ll be here soon."

As soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, a hurried sound of hoofbeats came from the front. Everyone turned to look and saw dust rising on the road, with a large troop of cavalry galloping toward them.

"Halt...!"

"Neigh...!"

The cries of people and the neighs of horses overlapped. Long Yi pulled his horse to a stop, skillfully dismounted, and shouted toward them, "Prince, madam."

Long Rui turned to look at him, pointed at the villagers lying on the ground, and said, "Long Yi, you’ve arrived just in time. These are the possessed people. We’ve sealed their acupoints. Take them back to the village, gather them in one house, and have them watched day and night. Don’t let them escape to harm others. I will spare no effort to invite the doctor back to help treat them."
