After drinking the antidote given by Zhou Ruo, the villagers gradually recovered from the poisoning.

As dawn broke, most of the villagers had dispersed.

As dawn broke, Zhou Ruo had a dream.

In her dream, the kind of spirit insect she hated and feared most in her previous life jumped out of the water and chased after her.

It wasn't that Zhou Ruo couldn't cure the spirit insect, but she felt disgusted and afraid just looking at it.

The spirit insect relentlessly pursued Zhou Ruo in her dream until it forced her out of the dream.

Zhou Ruo woke up from her dream with a start, crying loudly.

Along with Zhou Ruo's crying, a voice echoed in her mind.

"Spiritual power restored to 60%!"

"The power of the Spiritual Eye is activated!"

Zhou Ruo's mind was filled with the terrifying image of that spirit worm, and she couldn't be happy about her spiritual power increasing to 60%.

Zhao Jinzhong was discussing matters with the guards not far from the carriage when Zhou Ruo's sudden crying startled him.

He ran quickly to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw Zhou Ruo, who was already in tears, huddled in a corner of the carriage in fear.

Zhao Jinzhong felt heartbroken and guessed that she must have had a nightmare.

He climbed onto the carriage, pulled Zhou Ruo into his arms, and whispered words of comfort to her.

After a long while, Zhou Ruo wiped away her tears and choked out to Zhao Jinzhong:

"Brother, my spiritual power has recovered to 60%, I should be able to see that strange thing now."

Zhao Jinzhong's feelings were somewhat complicated after hearing this.

He gently patted Zhou Ruo's back to comfort her, "Ruo Ruo is really amazing. When we get back, will she be able to treat the Dowager Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruo instantly forgot about the spirit insect in her dream.

"Not only my grandmother, but also the villagers here—they all have strange things about them!"

As she spoke, Zhou Ruo jumped off the carriage, her disheveled appearance from being disturbed by the nightmare long gone.

"Brother, let's go treat the villagers' illnesses!"

The person who was just crying with tears streaming down their face is now smiling like a little sun.

Zhao Jinzhong shook his head and smiled helplessly; he really couldn't do anything about his younger sister.

As Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong walked into the village, they saw several villagers from afar who had been cured of their poison by Zhou Ruo the previous night.

They carried steaming bowls of soup and grains as they hurried toward the village entrance.

After the villagers recovered, remembering that their savior had worked hard all night, they all cooked some hot food together.

Seeing the villagers walking towards her, Zhou Ruo suddenly stopped.

As the villagers drew closer, Zhou Ruo could see more and more clearly the strange thing on their bodies.

As the villagers drew closer, Zhou Ruo's breathing gradually became rapid.

She rubbed her eyes, then calmed herself down and used all her spiritual power to sense it.

But the next second, Zhou Ruo turned around and ran back as fast as she could.

She ran, cried, and shouted, "Go away! Don't come any closer! Go away! Waaaaaah!"

Zhou Ruo was finally able to clearly sense that the strange things on the villagers were none other than the spirit insects from her dream.

Every villager had it on them, which made Zhou Ru's scalp tingle.

By the time Zhao Jinzhong realized what was happening, Zhou Ruo had already run to the front of the carriage.

An Changben was resting in the carriage when he heard Zhou Ruo's cries and was startled awake, so he jumped off the carriage.

Unexpectedly, An Chang had barely stepped off the carriage and hadn't even stood up properly when Zhou Ruo threw him into her arms.

Zhou Ruo hugged An Chang's neck tightly, trembling all over, unable to speak, only crying incessantly.

An Chang was caught off guard by Zhou Ruo's sudden hug.

It's so hard for her to call him "brother," so how come she suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him so tightly?

Although she couldn't understand it, An Chang was very happy.

Zhao Jinzhong ran up to An Chang, saw this scene, and said sternly to An Chang, "Let her go!"

An Changmo said, "I..." He opened his arms, and Zhou Ruo clung tightly to him, her legs wrapped around his waist.

The little head was buried deep in An Chang's neck, and the whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Ruo Ruo?" Zhao Jinzhong gently patted her back and called her softly.

After calling her name several times, Zhou Ruo finally stopped crying and moved her head out of An Chang's neck.

Turning her head, Zhou Ruo saw Zhao Jinzhong and realized something was wrong.

She turned around and saw herself being held in An Chang's arms. The crying that had suddenly stopped started again.

While crying, Zhou Ruo turned to Zhao Jinzhong and opened her arms, saying, "Brother, hug me!"

She was so frightened that her mind went blank. Seeing that the person in front of her didn't have any spirit insects, she pounced on him without caring who he was.

Just to get a safe embrace.

"Ruo Ruo, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhao Jinzhong asked anxiously, trying to comfort Zhou Ruo.

"That thing on them...it's a spirit insect!"

Zhou Ruo sat up straight on Zhao Jinzhong's arm and pointed to the villagers in the distance.

Zhao Jinzhong: "Spirit insects? What are those? Can't you handle them?"

Zhou Ruo shook her head; it wasn't that she couldn't handle it.

Rather, she lost the courage to confront the spirit insects the moment she saw them.

This kind of spirit insect was Zhou Ruo's greatest "natural enemy" in her previous life, and she didn't know why there was such a thing in this village.

Zhou Ruo sobbed twice before saying, "The spirit insect is so ugly and disgusting, I'm scared! Waaaaaah..."

The villagers, still holding food in their hands, stood at a distance, looking at each other in bewilderment. Seeing Zhou Ruo's reaction just now, none of them dared to approach.

Zhao Jinzhong was at a loss for what to do.

"Brother, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go home! I want to go home!" Zhou Ruo struggled violently in Zhao Jinzhong's arms.

Zhao Jinzhong thought that the poison in the villagers' bodies had been neutralized.

Although some people experience a relapse of their old ailments, Zhou Ruo's current condition makes it impossible to treat them.

The villagers of Little Sheep Village had no choice but to leave it to fate and do their best.

After explaining the general situation to the village chief, Zhao Jinzhong hurriedly took Zhou Ruo back to the capital.

Zhou Ruo returned to the general's mansion and did not leave the house for several days.

Every day he just sits in the yard basking in the sun, as if trying to wash away the gloom in his heart.

Patients lined up at the stalls in the city every day, but after waiting for several days, the little miracle doctor never set up his stall.

Someone came to the general's mansion to inquire about the situation. After Zhao Jinzhong found out, he asked Wu Jia to go to the stall and inform everyone.

They said the little miracle doctor had something to do and would be closing his stall for a few days.

Zhou Ruo woke up from nightmares several nights in a row, and Ji Ping was very worried about her.

When the Dowager Princess heard about Zhou Ruo's situation, she sent Granny Li to visit her several times.

Granny Li brought many snacks and children's toys, but Zhou Ruo was not interested in any of them.

Every time she came, Granny Li saw Zhou Ru holding a lemon and munching on it.

She no longer has the lively spirit she showed a few days ago.

Zhao Jinzhong has been going to Xiaoyang Village for the past two days. He wants to find out how there could be poison in the reservoir water.
