Chapter 77: Jiang Ying Arrives

Gu Yu remembered it best. When he mentioned Dragon Village to someone in Laifu Village, the first thing the villagers said was, “That place is haunted. Don’t go there.”

He continued to persuade Ning Yue. “I don’t believe in demons and ghosts, but since the villagers say that that place is haunted, it should be dangerous. You’d better not go.”

“Master, I have to go to that place. As for the reason, I don’t want to say it yet. If it’s not convenient for you, I can go myself,” Ning Yue said.

She had thought that Gu Yu had asked her not to go because he didn’t want to go either.

“What are you saying? I’m your master. How can I watch you go to that place? Besides, do you know the way? Do you know the direction to Dragon Village?”

Uh, she really didn’t know.

“I can ask the villagers on the way,” Ning Yue said.

“Those people aren’t even willing to mention that place. How can they give you directions?” Gu Yu rolled his eyes. “Alright, let me get ready. We’ll go together.” With that, Gu Yu returned to the medicinal room.

After a while, Gu Yu brought out a pile of bottles.

“Let’s go,” Ning Yue said.

As they walked, Ning Yue suddenly felt very strange.

Along the way, Gu Yu picked a small path. “Master, why are you so familiar with this place?”

“Many years ago, my master and I came to Dragon Village to treat someone. If that patient was still alive, he would have been in his fifties or sixties,” Gu Yu said.

He really missed the days when he traveled with his master. Gu Yu sighed with emotion. Those were the happiest days of his life.

When the two of them arrived at the intersection of Dragon Village, they were almost shocked by the scene.

“Master, are you sure this is Dragon Village?” Ning Yue looked at the messy ground in surprise.

It was just like the scene of an earthquake. The mountains and trees had all collapsed. As far as the eye could see, one could still see some buildings after they had collapsed.

“There was an earthquake here, and many people died. Those who worked outside the village were heartbroken when they returned and saw their home in such a state. It was said that a devoted man cried here for three days and three nights. Some people thought that the cries were the howls of ghosts, so this ghost story came about.”

Gu Yu explained the rumors about the village to Ning Yue. As he spoke, he pointed in a certain direction. “If you still want to enter, we can take a detour from there.”

Ning Yue nodded. Of course she had to go in. She had come to Dragon Village today for the sake of entering it. If she didn’t go in, wouldn’t she have come for nothing?

Moreover, this was also the Host’s request. She would take it as repayment for using the Host’s body.

“Doctor Gu, Miss Ning!” Just as the two of them were about to enter, a voice stopped them.

She turned around and saw that it was Jiang Ying and Uncle Su.

“Why are you here?” Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying.

“My subordinate told me that someone wanted to break into the Dragon Village. Uncle Su and I came to see who had the guts to do so. So it’s you,” Jiang Ying said with a smile.

“Now you know who the bold one is?” Ning Yue asked.

“Got it. There are often earthquakes here, and this place is no longer suitable for human habitation. Why are you here?” Jiang Ying asked.

“I must have something on. Why don’t I come and play?” Ning Yue said.

“Then I’ll go in with you,” Jiang Ying said.

“Prince, you can’t!” Uncle Su wanted to stop Jiang Ying, but Gu Yu used a silver needle to pierce his acupoints, preventing him from moving.

With his status as a prince, how could he come to such a place? He might even die.

Gu Yu snorted. “I’ll see if you continue to be noisy. Little Ying, you know that I hate people who interfere the most.” With that, Gu Yu led the way in.

Jiang Ying smiled and gestured to the secret guards hiding in the distance. He followed Ning Yue in.

Along the way, they saw collapsed houses and trees. Gu Yu had lost his patience. “Dragon Village is actually quite big. It’s like this everywhere. There shouldn’t be anything to see inside, right?”

“Master, persevere. Trust me,” Ning Yue said firmly.

Even if the dream last night was fake, she had to make a trip.

Taking advantage of her actions, she took out a few water bags from her space. They were all filled with ancient well water.

“Have some water first.” Ning Yue handed them some water.

After drinking the water, Ning Yue put the things into her bag again.

“Let me help you carry it. This bag looks quite heavy.” Jiang Ying extended his hand to Ning Yue.
