Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Tang Wan was busy making cosmetics until she was exhausted and starving. Only then did she stop, go downstairs to drink a cup of spiritual spring water, and then continue her work.

Tang Wan only slipped out of the space when she realized it was getting late.

She pushed open the door and went out, only to see Wang Da chopping wood in the front yard.

"Master." Wang Da immediately put down his axe and bowed.

"You're back? Go and get ready to take me home," Tang Wan said with a slight nod.

When I came back before, Wang Da wasn't there; he must have gone to the consulting shop to study.

"Yes," Wang Da replied and immediately went to hitch up the carriage.

Tang Wan sat in the carriage and leaned against the side wall to rest with her eyes closed.

Wang Da drove directly out of the city. He had already been to the Tang family yesterday, so he naturally remembered the way.

……

The next day, after finishing her family affairs and saying goodbye to her parents, Tang Wan set off for the prefectural office to inquire about matters.

Inside the shop, Boss Wan had been waiting for a long time, while Mr. Zhou, who had come yesterday, had arrived even earlier and was now pacing restlessly in the hall.

Upon seeing Tang Wan enter, Boss Wan hurriedly greeted her, "Master, you've arrived! This must be Master Zhou!"

Upon hearing Boss Wan's introduction, Master Zhou looked at Tang Wan as if she were his savior. He immediately strode forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said urgently, "This must be the master. You've finally arrived!"

Tang Wan remained calm and returned the greeting slightly: "Master Zhou, there's no need for such formalities. I have a general understanding of the situation. Is your son at your residence now?"

"Yes, yes, I'm at home. The carriage is ready. Please come to my humble abode, Master Zhou," Master Zhou said hurriedly.

He had no choice but to focus all his attention on the person in front of him.

Tang Wan nodded and said to Boss Wan, "Boss Wan, let's go to the Zhou residence with Master Zhou."

“Okay!” Boss Wan replied with a smile.

Several people boarded the Zhou family's carriage.

Inside the carriage, Master Zhou remained deeply worried and sighed as he said to Tang Wan, "Master, my son was perfectly fine just a few days ago, but suddenly he's like this. Please, Master, save him! He loves reading. If his leg is ruined, what will become of him?"

The Zhou family were merchants who were counting on their son, who was good at studying, to improve their family's fortunes. They never expected their son to encounter such a situation.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, I will know once I have seen it." Tang Wan's tone was calm and her demeanor composed.

If it really is contaminated with something unclean, she naturally has a way to deal with it. If not, then she can only see a doctor.

However, it seems the doctor can't figure it out, so it's highly likely I'll have to do it myself.

Tang Wan's confident demeanor seemed to offer a glimmer of hope to Master Zhou's anxious heart, making him feel somewhat relieved.

Upon arriving at the Zhou residence, the group was immediately led to the courtyard of the young master Zhou.

Upon entering the room, a faint, gloomy atmosphere enveloped her. Ordinary people might not have noticed it, but it was exceptionally noticeable to Tang Wan.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Xiucai was pale, his eyes were lifeless, his lips were an unhealthy pale purple, and his legs were covered under the brocade quilt, looking lifeless.

He saw his father bring in such a young stranger and a hint of doubt in his eyes. He remembered his father saying that he had invited a master to the mansion to take a look at him today, but he did not expect the person in front of him to be so young.

Such a young master? Oh well, let fate decide. Although Young Master Zhou felt that there would probably be no progress today, he still tried his best to sit up and bow.

Although the person in front of me may not be of much help, he was, after all, someone my father had gone to great lengths to invite, so it would be somewhat impolite of me not to do anything.

"No need for such formalities," Tang Wan said politely, raising her hand to stop Zhou Xiucai's movement.

Tang Wan walked to the bedside and her gaze fell on Zhou Xiucai's face. She noticed a wisp of black energy swirling around the scholar's face.

Tang Wan then slowly shifted her gaze to his legs. Without even lifting them to examine them, Tang Wan could already sense that the life force in his legs had been almost completely eroded by a cold and filthy power. Moreover, his meridians were bound, and his blood and qi were stagnant. No wonder the medicine was ineffective.

Tang Wan stretched out her right hand, her fingertips slowly brushing across a spot an inch above Zhou Xiucai's legs, feeling the lingering malevolent aura.

This malevolent energy was not formed naturally, nor could it be left behind by ordinary wandering ghosts. It was insidious and showed signs of being manipulated by humans.

It's probably specifically targeting Zhou Xiucai's legs, or Zhou Xiucai himself.

Seeing this, Master Zhou rubbed his hands together anxiously and asked, "Master, what do you think of my son?"

He really wanted Tang Wan to give him a positive answer so that he could feel at ease.

But Tang Wan did not answer immediately. Instead, she said gently to Zhou Xiucai, "Young master, relax and do not resist."

After saying that, she stretched out her right hand, her index and middle fingers together, and hovered it about an inch above Zhou Xiucai's legs, moving it slowly.

A faint golden light flowed from Tang Wan's fingertips, and a wisp of spiritual power passed through the brocade quilt, directly entering Zhou Xiucai's legs, which were locked by the cold aura.

Zhou Xiucai began to feel a warmth coming through the quilt, and then, his legs, which had been numb and without feeling, came a very subtle tingling sensation.

Although the sensation was somewhat uncomfortable, it gave him a jolt – he could feel his legs again! You see, he hadn't felt anything in his legs for several days!

With a hoarse voice, Zhou Xiucai looked at Tang Wan excitedly and said, "I... I can feel it! It's tingling and numb!"

Tang Wan nodded slightly, her fingertips continuously channeling spiritual energy, temporarily forcing back some of the lingering malevolent energy.

A moment later, Tang Wan withdrew her hand, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

"How are you feeling?" Tang Wan asked.

"The tingling and numbness are more pronounced, and I can feel a slight chill." Zhou Xiucai tried to sense it, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation that he himself was unaware of.

He knew that although he couldn't move at this moment, the return of consciousness was already great news.

Upon seeing this, Master Zhou was overjoyed. He quickly bowed to Tang Wan and exclaimed, "Master! You are truly a miracle worker! It worked so quickly!"

Tang Wan waved her hand and said in a serious tone, "This method only temporarily relieves his pain and restores his senses a little. But the root cause has not been eliminated. The source of the evil energy is still eroding him. If it is not destroyed in time, the situation will soon relapse and may even become more serious."

Boss Wan immediately understood Tang Wan's intention, but he was still waiting for Tang Wan's instructions on how to proceed.

When Tang Wan's gaze finally settled on the corner of the wall inside the bed, Boss Wan followed her gaze. Although he couldn't figure it out, he firmly believed that the source of the evil energy the master had mentioned should be this place.

Boss Wan asked Tang Wan with his eyes if she wanted him to do anything, but Tang Wan shook her head almost imperceptibly.

Tang Wan then turned to Master Zhou and said, "Master Zhou, please have someone carefully peel off the plaster from this wall."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhou immediately ordered his servants to begin.

Boss Wan took a step closer to Tang Wan, assuming a protective stance, his right hand gripping a hidden weapon in case of any unforeseen circumstances. (End of Chapter)
