Chapter 970: Chapter 968: Here, Take This Fake Pill
Half an hour later, the miasma passed, and Wufu opened her eyes, pushed aside the thin mist in front of her, and silently counted the people around her.
One, two, three, four… soone is missing.
Wufu’s heart sank slightly. When her vision cleared completely, she quickly checked on everyone.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Ah Jiu asked her. That cloud of vapor was too thick, even denser than the fog they had encountered before.
Wufu shook her head. Seeing everyone else either sitting or standing with sowhat listless expressions, but looking alright, she asked, “Where’s Ding Qu gone?”
The crowd was startled, looked at each other, and indeed found Ding Qu was no longer there.
“Master.” Ding Lai looked at Master Gui in horror. They hadn’t noticed when Ding Qu went missing, nor did they hear any noise.
Of this group, Ding Qu was the last to take the dicine pill. Could it be related to that? Even if he accidentally inhaled the miasma, he should have collapsed right here. But where is he?
“Go search.” Master Gui ordered coldly and sternly.
“Yes.”
Wufu carefully examined the surrounding traces and pointed towards a thicket, saying, “This way.”
Everyone looked over and indeed saw traces of soone passing through the thicket, and hurried over.
On the way, Ding Lai picked up Ding Qu’s usual weapon.
“He’s here.” Chi Er shouted loudly.
Approaching, they indeed saw Ding Qu, but his face had changed dramatically. He had his back to them, and at his feet was a cliff. He was about to step out with his arms wide open.
“No!”
“Ding Qu!” Ah Qi pointed his toes downward, flinging his body like an arrow. In the instant before Ding Qu jumped, he managed to grab his hand and hoist him up.
Wufu was filled with admiration: “Such wonderful Qinggong.”
Ding Qu landed on the ground heavily but was frenzied, punching and kicking at Ah Qii.
“W-What’s going on?” Ding Lai was dumbfounded.
Wufu walked over, drew a fine needle from a bracelet she wore, and said, “Hold him down.”
Once Ding Qu was pinned, she used the needle to prick the nail bed of his middle finger and squeezed out a drop of blood, doing the sa with the other hand.
It’s said the ten fingers are linked to the heart, and the fingertip blood is like heart’s blood, the quickest way to wake soone up.
Ding Qu gradually cald down and after a mont looked at everyone: “W-What happened to ?”
“You almost went to et Lord Yama, you know?” Chi Liu pointed to the cliff, “We’re the ones who want to know what happened to you and how you got here.”
“I-I heard my mother calling .” Ding Qu was sowhat dejected, his eyes moist.
“…” Everyone was silent.
Ding Qu was an orphan, which everyone knew, but before he beca one, he was already old enough to rember his mother.
“Young Master Wu, everyone else is fine, why only him?” Ding Lai asked, his face full of worry.
Wufu said, “It was miasma, after all, a cloud of gas. Who can guarantee not even a tiny bit was inhaled if they covered their nose and mouth? Perhaps he inhaled so before taking the preventative dicine, which led to hallucinations.” She paused and added, “Or maybe Bai Xiaobai’s dicine was fake.”
Chi Yi and several others coughed and said, “Young Master, we’re all fine, so there shouldn’t be any fake dicine.” If the Ghost Doctor heard that, he might explode!
Moreover, even if it were fake, they had all taken it!
Wufu rolled her eyes: “Are you unaware of the possibility of one slipped through the net? Maybe there’s that one-in-a-million fake pill!”
Alright then, let’s hope the Ghost Doctor never learns you doubted his dical skills.
Ah Qi had already checked Ding Qu’s pulse and said, “The pulse is sowhat chaotic, but there’s no serious harm.”
“Shall we continue on then?”
