As Xie Qiao spoke, she suddenly waved her other sleeve in front of Xie Congshan.
Instantly, a white powder was released. Xie Congshan did not notice it and he breathed in the powder.
The crossbow was only used to divert his attention.
Xie Qiao pursed her lips. “You bought medicine, can’t I purchase some self-defense powder as well? Third Uncle, I’ll show you something fun today.”
Xie Congshan choked and coughed twice before he was done. He felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.
A cool sensation came from his eyelids before he fainted.
Xie Qiao stretched her hand and rubbed something on his eyelids.
Then, he saw Xie Qiao take out two talismans and mumbled. With a puff, the talismans floated in the air and burned.
Xie Qiao took out a water pouch and a white porcelain bowl from the bamboo basket. After the talismans burned, the ashes fell directly into the bowl and turned into talisman water.
Xie Congshan had already fallen to the ground.
There was no one around. Xie Qiao got off the carriage and poured the talisman water into his mouth.
After doing all that, Xie Qiao rummaged through Xie Congshan’s body and indeed found a small medicine bag. She did not know what kind of medicine it was, but she guessed that it was something bad. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the medicine bag and dragged Xie Congshan into the small courtyard.
The courtyard should have been rented by Xie Congshan, and this person should have been extremely poor. Otherwise, he would not have chosen such a remote and rotten place.
A person walked out of the house hearing the commotion.
It should be that Young Master Cao.
He looked… rather delicate. He was a little chubby, he looked fair and tender. If one only looked at his face, he looked rather harmless.
Never judge a book by its cover. He would rather be an animal than a man.
Seeing that Xie Qiao had dragged Xie Congshan in, Young Master Cao was shocked. “Y-You’re Young Lady Xie? What did you do to Third Uncle Xie?”
Xie Qiao sneered. “I killed him.”
In an instant, Young Master Cao’s face paled.
Xie Qiao raised her crossbow, aimed at Young Master Cao, and approached him step by step.
That Young Master Cao was so scared that he fell to the ground and retreated on his butt. He was so scared that he was out of his mind. “I-I didn’t mean to…. I was just obeying my parents… P-Please spare me, I wouldn’t dare to do it again…”
Good-for-nothing.
With this merely ability, he dared to harm others.
“Do you know what my Father does?” Xie Qiao asked.
Young Master Cao nodded.
Xie Qiao put down her crossbow. “It’s good that you know. I’ll leave this Xie Congshan to you. Tonight, the two of you are to stay here and are not allowed to go anywhere. If I find out that you secretly ran away, I’ll have my Father hang you alive and cut you into pieces.”
Young Master Cao gulped.
Third Uncle Xie was so good at lying!
He clearly said that the first daughter of the Xie family was a beautiful and graceful young lady, but this person in front of him… How was she what he described?
She was clearly a hag!
She got him to stay with a dead person!
“My people are watching this area. Remember, be a good boy.” After Xie Qiao finished speaking, she shot a glance at Young Master Cao and left the courtyard directly. She closed the door and returned to the carriage.
Earlier, she had wiped some cow tears on Xie Congshan’s eyelids.
It was not much, but enough for him to admire the ghouls for the next few days.
Xie Qiao looked at the small bottle containing the cow tears with heartache and sighed.
It was not easy to obtain those cow tears. They were tears of an old cow that had worked hard for its entire life before it died. They could only be obtained together with some other things. She had not saved much in the past ten years. Usually, she would try to use them sparingly.
Now that she had used them on Xie Congshan, the effect had to be satisfactory..
