Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 290 - 268: Must Meet Today (Bonus at 750 Monthly Tickets)

Qian thought all night about how she should save herself. The terrain she observed when she arrived was etched in her mind, combined with some of the information Shi Yu mentioned in a previous life, she had a bold idea.

"Shi Yu, I have a bold idea. If we succeed, we can escape. If not, our lives might be at risk. What do you think?"

"I’ll follow your lead completely."

"Great, we’ll do this..." Qian muttered in Shi Yu’s ear, and Shi Yu nodded, understanding everything clearly.

Qian reached out her hand, "Though I don’t know what consequences our actions may have, I do know that if we don’t act, what awaits us certainly won’t be good."

Shi Yu placed her hand on hers.

"Live together as comrades, die together in the same tomb. I’d rather risk it all for a noble death than lose myself and be reduced to a tool for reproduction."

Growing up happens in an instant, and Shi Yu has now grown up.

"Will doing this make you feel guilty, especially since if we succeed, it will impact many people?"

Shi Yu’s previous personality was relatively soft, sympathetic to many people.

But at this time, she had been transformed utterly by Qian.

Shi Yu shook her head firmly.

"When they chose collective apathy when they didn’t respect our lives, when they didn’t treat us as humans, why should I care about them? If I sympathize with them, who will sympathize with me? Without you, Qian, I now..."

The consequences, no one dares to imagine.

Qian grasped her hand, "When we get back, there are many ways for you to express your gratitude, but not now. Good sisters, Qian will definitely bring you out safely and alive!"

"Yes, we all have to get out alive!"

The two girls exchanged a wise glance, and everything starts now.

Halfway through roasting the large roasted pheasant, some villagers had already come over.

"Da Gen, can your Xian’er see things today?"

"I’ll go ask!"

Da Gen ran inside, Shi Yu agreed to see them, that person brought incense inside, Qian took out two broken bowls, the person pressed a one-yuan note under the bowl, and the other bowl was filled with dirt as an incense burner, then lit the incense and began to speak to Shi Yu.

"Huang, my grandson’s head was feverish as soon as he got home, please use your Divine Skills."

Shi Yu and Qian recognized this old lady as the one who fed her child in public with a bun yesterday, treating her own child as a treasure while not treating the girls bought as humans, publicly pushing away the pitiable girl.

In Qian’s heart, she knew that it was the influenza virus she brought back from the city that infected people, yet she still pretended to whisper in Shi Touyu’s ear with sincerity.

Imitating an immortal, Shi Yu looked the part, sitting cross-legged, fingers on her knees, forming a posture as if flicking something. Those who knew better would see this as the aura of Huang Xian, while those who didn’t might think it was something divine.

"Bring water!" Shi Yu said to Qian.

Qian immediately understood, fetched a scoop of water, and Shi Yu made some gestures in the air, then uttered the word ’open’, handing the scoop to the old lady.

"Go back, divide this water into two portions, mix one half with two scoops of water, bring to a boil, and when warm, give it to the child to drink several times a day until they consume two and a half scoops of it. The frequency of urination should increase, and use the other half to moisten a cloth and wipe the body. This is the method to remove my Divine Skills. Then find a doctor and get herbs like Banlangen to take, the fever will surely subside within three days!"

"Thank you, Huang, for your miraculous intervention!"

The old lady thanked her, carefully carrying the water out.

Qian showed a thumbs-up to Shi Yu.

Great, just like that!

What Holy Water, it’s just plain water. What Shi Yu said is just a physical cooling method for children. A child’s viral cold with recurring fever won’t last more than three days.

Fortunately, the child had been feverish all night, and when his grandmother went out, the fever hadn’t subsided. By the time she came back, it had just gone.

The bed was hot, covered in sweat, how could the fever not subside? But when the old lady came back and dabbed the Holy Water on the child, touched him and found the fever gone, she immediately believed in Shi Yu’s divine skills, went out and spread the word, saying Huang’s powers were incredibly efficacious, the Holy Water she gave was truly spiritual.

In this secluded place, things spread quickly, and soon everyone knew.

When villagers came one after another, Da Gen and another man were both kneeling down burning incense, influenced by Qian and Xiaoyu’s trickery, while Qian and Shi Yu leisurely gnawed on chicken legs, which only reinforced the villagers’ belief in the magic.

Da Gen got everyone to line up outside, Da Gen urgently asked Xiaoyu about matters of offspring.

Xiaoyu had rehearsed her lines with Qian, scooped some water, told him to take it home carefully, close the doors and curtains, entertain no guests, wash critical parts with this water for three days straight without eating or drinking, keep a chamber pot handy, and relieve himself only indoors, absolutely avoid the sun and moon. Wash then drink a mouthful each time until all the water is gone, and it will be fine.

Da Gen was overjoyed, firmly believing and immediately took the water home. Qian’s intention was more than just to disgust him.

She and Shi Yu were about to run away. Someone as powerful as Da Gen couldn’t be allowed to interfere, so they had him at home busy washing himself, and Shi Yu told him that if he heard noise or shouting outside while secluded, it was all ghosts trying to confuse him, he must not open the door, or he’d never have a son.

Leave him hungry for three days, and after drinking water used to wash himself for three days, even if he isn’t exhausted from hunger, he would suffer diarrhea, thus neutralizing the threat of the village bully through the trickery of Qian and Shi Yu.

As for the remaining ones seeking counsel, some asked about life and death, some about illness, and others about childbirth.

When Shi Yu saw a man, she would deceive him into locking himself inside for a whole day or instruct him to drink water without eating. If it was a woman, she would concoct nonsense on the spot with Qian’s help, fabricating tales to fool them.

It is foreseeable that the fighting capacity of this village was at least partially neutralized by Qian’s scheme; the rest would depend on luck from the heavens!

A civilian helicopter was quickly advancing towards the mountainous area where Qian was located.

In recent times, Yu Minglang had been exerting himself to the utmost, using every possible connection, and finally had a clue.

Committing a crime across provinces severely hampered rescue efforts.

In an era where surveillance wasn’t widespread, and real-name systems weren’t implemented, finding someone was extremely difficult. Some people disappeared and were never found again in their lifetime. For Yu Minglang to discover a lead in this time, it was the best he could do.

"one, how much longer do we have?" Qiao Zhen asked anxiously.

"I’m even more anxious than you, but if nothing goes wrong, we’ll get them out today!" Yu Minglang rapidly scanned through all the feedback from various regions in a short time, one hand secured on his shoulder, performing actions with one hand.
