Chapter 571 Together We _1
Cleaning up skeletons was a time-consuming task. Glancing at your left hand to check the time, you turned to Hu Qing and Xian Qianling and said, "These people must be the victims of Xu Minjiao and Xu Tonghua, originally buried under the soil. The rain caused the mountain slope’s mud to collapse, exposing their skeletons. If it were just the resentful qi of a single skeleton, it wouldn’t be enough to affect such a large area, but with so many, the collective resentful qi lingered, gathered by the stream into the reservoir, and then entering the village. The villagers drinking the mountain water tainted with different degrees of resentful qi naturally showed such conditions."
"What should we do next?" Xian Qianling asked.
After some thought, you said, "Retrieve all the skeletons from this place, identify them and the grudge between the Xu sisters, then take revenge for them—that should do it."
"This case must be many years old by now, whether the parties involved are still alive is another question."
Hu Qing sighed lightly; she had been most affected from the beginning. Always skeptical of ghosts and spirits, she never imagined she would witness them in her lifetime.
"Whether you can solve it, that’s up to you detectives, I’m not responsible for this part," you shrugged.
"What about the villagers?"
"The source of the resentful qi has been eliminated. The villagers will soon start to recover. For those with more serious conditions, you can steep mugwort in water, let them bathe in it daily, and then let them bask in the sunlight for a few days. There shouldn’t be any problems after that."
Sun Mingyu approached, asking a question that had been puzzling everyone, "Chairman Li, may I ask a question on behalf of everyone?"
"Um?"
