Chapter 309: I probably know a little more than you do.
"Stop!" Si Nansheng shouted, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. It suddenly got foggy earlier, and I don't know why. I was in a daze, and when I came to my senses, I was already in thick fog."
Then, I tried to find my way back, but I couldn't find the way at all. It seemed like I was always wandering in the same place.
In my haste, I used up a lot of my spiritual power, which not only prevented me from escaping but also left me unconscious.
When I woke up, I saw my senior brother beside me. However, because my injuries were severe, he didn't bring me back immediately. Instead, he told me to heal properly before returning.
Si Nansheng earnestly recounted all the excuses she had prepared beforehand. Upon hearing that Si Nansheng was injured, Hua Lianyi rushed forward to take her pulse.
Si Nansheng didn't dodge or avoid it, and generously let Hua Lianyi examine her.
“The injury is indeed quite serious. Don’t use your spiritual power for the next couple of days, as your internal injuries haven’t fully healed.” Hua Lianyi withdrew her hand and took out a pill, handing it to Si Nansheng.
Wen Luoya and the others watched Si Nansheng nervously, knowing that Si Nansheng was injured, but they did not expect that Si Nansheng's injury had not yet recovered.
Under everyone's gaze, Si Nansheng turned her head somewhat uncomfortably.
How could the punishment from Heaven be restored so quickly?
My nose was bleeding before, and it's supposed to last for another month.
It's only been a few days?
"Junior Sister, does it still hurt?" Bai Ye looked at Si Nansheng with heartache.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Si Nansheng smiled at Bai Ye.
"Take a good rest these two days, leave the village affairs to us." Ye Yanqing rubbed Si Nansheng's head.
"Senior Brother, may I go out and run some errands by myself?" Si Nansheng looked up at Ye Yanqing, who frowned.
Something was wrong with this village; he was worried that his junior sister would be bullied if she went out on her own.
"Senior Brother, don't worry, Shaoyu will be with me, right? Shaoyu?" Seeing that her senior brother was about to refuse, Si Nansheng immediately pulled Shaoyu out.
"Yes." Shao Yu nodded.
"Alright then, but remember, don't go too far, understand?" Ye Yanqing compromised.
"Mmm, thank you, Senior Brother. I knew you were the best to me." Si Nansheng happily hugged Ye Yanqing's arm, and Ye Yanqing rubbed her head.
"Second Senior Brother, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with." Si Nansheng pulled Wen Luoya into the room, and after a while, Si Nansheng came out on his own.
While everyone was there, Si Nansheng shared some of her suspicions about the village and what Haiyang Lu Hai Rui had told her.
"So, you mean that the couple didn't leave, but are already dead?" Meng Feifei's eyes widened.
"I only have this suspicion right now. In the past few days, I have recalled the books I read before. Some books record that mermaids and merfolk have shorter gestation periods than humans, like to eat raw fish, and have scales on their bodies."
"Thinking back to what the village chief told us before, isn't the wife's condition after becoming pregnant similar to what's recorded?"
Si Nansheng looked at everyone expectantly, and after a moment's thought, they all nodded in agreement.
Indeed, what the village chief said was very similar to what Si Nansheng said, so the wife's true identity is very likely that of a merman or a mermaid.
"Junior Sister, you said before that the people in this village were strange. Could it be because of them..." After Ye Yanqing made a guess, she felt a chill run down her spine.
“Yes, senior brother, if you want to find out anything in the village, it’s best to ask the older people.” Si Nansheng nodded and spoke softly.
"Looking for older people?" Bai Ye asked, puzzled.
“There must be an innocent person in this village, right? People are good and bad, the whole village can’t be full of bad people.” Si Nansheng raised an eyebrow at Ye Yanqing, resting his chin on his hand.
“That makes sense. Let’s eat something first, and then we’ll go back to the village to ask around.” Ye Yanqing seemed to understand Si Nansheng’s meaning and nodded directly.
Ye Yanqing had already given the order, so everyone naturally went to prepare the food.
Si Nansheng turned and went back to her room, followed by Ye Yanqing and Mo Lie.
"Can your body handle it?" Ye Yanqing asked Si Nansheng with concern.
"Don't worry, no problem." Si Nansheng smiled at Ye Yanqing and slowly closed his eyes.
Last time, she simply scanned it with her divine sense; this time, however, she was going to examine it very carefully.
Just when her spiritual energy was severely depleted, she finally found two people who did not have the slightest strange aura.
After giving Ye Yanqing the address, Si Nansheng collapsed.
"Junior Sister!" Mo Lie reached out and caught her.
Ye Yanqing hurriedly checked, and only after confirming that Si Nansheng was alright did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"She's asleep. Let her get some rest. I'll take some people to investigate later."
"Okay." Mo Lie placed Si Nansheng on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then went out with Ye Yanqing.
After eating a quick bite, Ye Yanqing asked Shao Yu and Nan Qingfeng to stay behind, and then he led a group of people out.
Before they set off, they had agreed that they couldn't all go to the same place; they would split up.
Ye Yanqing and the other two went to find Si Nansheng to confirm the location, while the others went to ask other people in the village.
As for whether we can get any results, that remains to be seen.
When Si Nansheng woke up, Ye Yanqing and the others had already returned, but none of them looked very happy.
"Senior Brother, you're all back?" Si Nansheng walked to Ye Yanqing's side.
"Hmm, junior sister, did you already know this before?" Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng with a grim expression.
"Have you gotten any results from your inquiries?" Si Nansheng sat down and looked at everyone.
Everyone nodded, their faces still filled with disbelief.
Before Si Nansheng got up, Ye Yanqing had already told everyone the results of their questions.
Who would have thought that the seemingly kind village chief and villagers were actually such vicious people? This was something they found very hard to accept.
"How could they do such a thing?" Meng Feifei's stomach churned just thinking about it.
"So, when the village chief said he would prepare food for us, you refused. Did you already know something?" Hua Lianyi looked at Si Nansheng.
"No, I just don't want to eat the food they prepared," Si Nansheng said without any attempt to hide it. Everyone looked at her helplessly, and she chuckled.
There was nothing she could do; over the years, her taste had become too discerning, and she didn't believe the food these villagers cooked could taste that good.
Moreover, they are all cultivators. If they eat human food, that food will form impurities in their bodies, which will not be good for their future cultivation.
"Junior Sister Si, can you tell us what you actually know?" Meng Feifei looked at Si Nansheng with a half-smile.
I always felt that Si Nansheng knew much more than they did.
"I might have known a little more than you guys before, but now, it seems like what I know is about the same as what you know." Si Nansheng smiled at Meng Feifei, who rolled her eyes. She didn't believe him!
