Massacre of a Village

The medicinal herbs in this greenhouse are growing quite well. Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Continue to accelerate their growth. I want to see how much time we can save."

Seeds are readily available in the market; they are commonly sold at pharmacies and seed stalls in markets.

Zhou Wanwan planted a lot of dandelions, houttuynia cordata, indigo leaves, forsythia, mugwort, atractylodes lancea, isatis root, honeysuckle, licorice, bupleurum, scutellaria baicalensis, perilla, and mint, all of which are good for fighting the epidemic.

These things are worthless now, but during a real pandemic, some of these medicinal herbs could increase in value several times or even dozens of times.

Zhou Wanwan grows these medicinal herbs to make money, but she doesn't intend to make money unethically. She'll double or triple her profits without any problem.

She sat down, her body adorned with various jade bracelets. Lingbao lay directly in her arms and said, "Wanwan, we can begin now. Tsk tsk tsk... this energy is really strong."

Zhou Wanwan closed her eyes and soon felt a surge of air rushing into her.

Then she dispersed the spiritual energy again. In fact, this spiritual energy only had a small effect on her, unlike in cultivation novels where spiritual energy can be absorbed.

It only has a health-strengthening effect, but it's different for these medicinal herbs.

Zhou Wanwan sat in the greenhouse for two hours before stretching and looking at the medicinal herbs inside. "They've grown this big already? A couple more rounds of ripening will be enough to harvest them."

Lingbao felt like she was floating on air. "Wanwan, this is amazing, so comfortable! What are all these things? I feel like I don't even need a medicinal bath anymore."

Zhou Wanwan patted its head and said, "Alright, go back to sleep..."

As soon as the shed was opened, footsteps could be heard outside.

Could it be that her family has come looking for her at this hour?

She usually tells her family before she goes out, and they don't usually come looking for her unless there's an emergency.

She went straight outside and squatted down next to a big tree, where she heard the tree say, "Where did those bastards come from?"

"They sneaked in from the village entrance, I wonder what they're up to? They're all carrying weapons!"

"It's over, it's over, Liu Family Village is probably finished."

"Tsk tsk tsk... These people from Liu Family Village are always cutting down trees; they're bound to get into trouble sooner or later."

Zhou Wanwan scoffed coldly, "You're quite the talker. We do cut down trees all day long, but we also replace them with many saplings."

Zhou Wanwan doesn't have that many spirit stones right now, but she will use them to help these trees grow when she has the opportunity in the future.

She wasn't high enough in rank yet, and the trees were startled. "You... you can actually hear us?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"That's right! Have you noticed that I never cut down you trees? I always go to the mountains to cut them down."

I can hear you all, so you must protect our Liu Family Village well from now on.

The Old Scholar Tree shook its branches and said:

"Wow, you're really amazing, you can actually understand what we're saying!"

Don't worry, we'll definitely let you know as soon as possible if anything happens in the future.

"Yes, yes, we old folks have plenty of time. But could you give us some water to drink? I heard your village even has a well?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Those people are leaving. I have to follow them and see what they're up to."

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "These people look like bandits; they're definitely up to no good..."

Zhou Wanwan followed the group into the village and saw them head straight for the well.

Zhou Wanwan sneered. These people really know a lot about things. I wonder what their background is.

Someone whispered, "Third Master, is this going to work?"

"Why not? They've already found out that the whole village drinks from this well. If they just spill poison in here, the entire village will be in big trouble tomorrow."

"What kind of poison is this?"

"It's highly poisonous. Anyone in their village who drinks a sip of water from this well will die."

Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly. Before they could even take out the medicine powder, they smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers and then all collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Wanwan opened the powder in their hands, her expression immediately changing. "Gelsemium elegans powder, these people are really vicious..."

Gelsemium elegans, also known as heartbreak grass, is extremely poisonous. Ingestion can cause abdominal pain and difficulty breathing within a short period of time, and a large amount can indeed kill an entire village by adding it to water.

Zhou Wanwan laughed immediately, "Good, good, you've got guts."

She went straight back and called her three older brothers, and soon dozens of strong men from Liu Family Village were summoned.

They simply tied these people up, Zhou Wanwan woke them up, leaving the bandits completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the third leader with a half-smile and said, "You guys are really bold, actually trying to poison the people in our village. Who gave you permission to do this?"

The third leader sneered:

"You think you can just tell me because you're asking? Release us right now, we're not your average bandit group."

"If you dare to attack us, our bandit leader will definitely avenge us, and we'll massacre the entire village."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"Massacre of a village? Isn't that what you're doing right now?"

If this powder were put into this well, our entire village would probably die tomorrow, wouldn't it?

Does this medicine powder taste good? Look, I had someone make a Manman cup; we can't waste it, can we?

The third leader trembled with fear. "No... this powder is absolutely forbidden! It'll kill you!"

"Oh! You want to kill people? So you know everything? But what does this have to do with me? Aren't you trying to kill us too?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Just feed them the medicine powder, then bury them..."

Just as the people from Liu Family Village were about to feed them the medicine powder, the third leader immediately prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy. "Heroine, spare our lives! We know we were wrong, but they paid for it, and we were just doing what they said."

Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "Then tell me, who exactly ordered you to do this?"

"We... we have an agreement..."

"Um?"

"According to the rules, we can't say it, but that doesn't mean I can't write it! I can write it down."

Zhou Wanwan asked someone to bring her a charcoal pencil and paper, saying, "Well, you're quite principled!"

"I just think you're amazing. I don't know how you found out we snuck in."

"We, Azure Dragon Mountain Stronghold, have never made a mistake in completing a mission." The man simply wrote down a single character.

Zhou Wanwan understood:

"Jiang? Hey! This Jiang Wu is really something, keeping an eye on our village every day. Alright, so he likes using poison, huh?"

I am the progenitor of poison, and you too! If I don't kill you, it won't quell the hatred in my heart. So kill you!

"More than 50 people, it's quite a hassle."
