Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1960 The Dangers of Lies

The woman was sobbing uncontrollably and in a very bad state. I quickly helped her into the tent and brought her a bowl of ginger and jujube tea. She took a sip and tried to express her gratitude, but I stopped her, saying, "It's nothing valuable. Besides, we'll just hold the child for a while, and then we'll have some medicinal food. You just mentioned that relatives and friends want to stay away; this is perfectly normal. Even we've encountered this before." The woman then placed the child in Lin Zhenfei's arms. Lin Zhenfei massaged a few acupoints on the child, and the child began to cry incessantly. The woman was initially heartbroken, but later she made up her mind. Since they trusted them, they should continue to trust them. After all, the child in the hospital was in a hopeless situation. After the long journey, the child's breathing had become very weak. It was already a miracle that the child could cry again. Guan Xixi took the child from Lin Zhenfei: "Go check if the medicine is working. I'll massage the child's acupoints. By the way, sister, does this child have any congenital disease? It doesn't feel that simple. Even if there are evil spirits, they wouldn't specifically target children. Anyone who is weak would be found." The woman suddenly froze and burst into tears again: "You're so right. In my case, I was tricked into marriage. Before the marriage..." I never mentioned that the man had a history of genetic diseases or that his parents died young. They even claimed it was an accident to facilitate the marriage, but that's not true at all. They all died from illness. My man's parents were related by blood, which resulted in our child having a congenital disease. Our child, whom he had after we got married, has had problems since birth. Our relatives knew all along, yet they still pressured us to have more children, just wanting to see us suffer. After my man passed away, our child's health deteriorated further. Instead of helping, those relatives kicked us while we were down, saying our child was sickly and might die any day now. They even said that since there were no male heirs in the family, the house would eventually go to his uncle's family. It was truly outrageous! Luckily, I knew a friend... A friend who knows a little about law helped me get some money. We even sold our house, but after spending all our savings on my child's medical treatment, there's still no improvement. I never expected so many problems to arise. Lin Zhenfei brought in freshly brewed medicine. "The medicinal soup is here. Drink some of this soup first, then heat it up when you're ready to eat and take the medicine on top." Just as Lin Zhenfei fed the child the medicine, the child vomited it all up. Guan Xixi, seeing the child crying incessantly, was very anxious. She quickly picked the child up, adjusted the position, and comforted the child. She then gave the child a conspicuous toy, which attracted the child's attention. Taking advantage of this, Guan Xixi fed the child the medicine. After drinking the medicine, the child's crying gradually stopped. Xi Xi smiled slightly: "The child is almost better. A few more doses of medicine should do the trick. I won't demonstrate the exorcism method here; I'll teach you when we get back." The mother thanked her repeatedly. Zhou Chuyuan's spirits had returned, which put her at ease. She naturally loved children and adored them. Everyone took turns comforting and cuddling the child, which strengthened his body. Although everyone's spiritual energy was different, and the medicine had worked its magic, the mother then recounted the aftermath: those annoying relatives took advantage of their misfortune. Knowing their family's plight, they not only ignored them but also tried to divide up their property. Luckily, someone knew the law, preventing everything from being taken away. Hearing this, I felt a sense of inadequacy. Why, with such advanced technology, are there still many areas in villages without corresponding laws? Are there still abandoned villages? Many people didn't even have identity cards or household registration. After listening to Wu Luansen's explanation, I roughly understood. Wu Luansen said, "Although development is good now, many places haven't developed directly. These places are sparsely populated, and often the principles of development cannot be fully utilized. The development principle of big cities is to make the city denser and build high-rise buildings. But in those sparsely populated places, we can only try to mobilize people and concentrate them in county towns. Later, with the development of technology, many isolated villages were discovered and some changes were made. However, many mountain villages still rely on their traditional ways, which takes many years." After listening, I roughly understood: county towns become cities, rural areas become county towns, and mountainous areas become rural areas.
