“The same thing will happen to the other people in our village?”
Li Xiuhua couldn’t believe it.
Then, Li Xiuhua seemed to have thought of something and blurted out, “Could it be… that my daughter’s illness is contagious?”
“About that.”
“You can understand it that way,” Chen Yu replied after pondering for a moment. “However, the contagiousness you’re thinking of and the one I’m talking about are not exactly the same.”
Chen Yu’s words confused Li Xiuhua.
“Master Chen, I’m not well-educated, so I don’t understand what you’re saying. Please cure my daughter. She’s all 1 have.”
“Miaomiao lost her father when she was young, so she relies on me for survival.”
“If anything happens to her, I… 1 really can’t live anymore.”
Li Xiuhua hugged her daughter and was about to kneel.
“Please don’t kneel!”
Reaching out to support Li Xiuhua, Chen Yu said firmly, “No one in this world is worthy of you kneeling to them, even me.”
“Besides, 1 never said 1 wouldn’t save your daughter.”
“What I’m just trying to say is that you should be mentally prepared. I didn’t mean to scare you. Get up, and let’s start the treatment.”
“Master Chen, I’m sorry. I…”
Li Xiuhua sat back in her chair and apologized.
Chen Yu raised his hand and interrupted her.
“You didn’t do anything wrong, and you don’t have to apologize to me. It’s natural for a mother to care about her child.”
“Also, can you change the way you address me?”
“You can call me Dr. Chen or Chen Yu, but don’t call me Master.”
Li Xiuhua quickly nodded and spoke carefully, “Yes, Master Chen, oh, Dr. Chen.”
“How did my daughter get sick? What is the root of her illness?”
“As the saying goes, you’re what you eat,” Chen Yu said. “Your daughter’s illness comes from what she eats.”
“Miaomiao’s food, this… that’s impossible.”
Worried that Chen Yu didn’t understand her worries, Li Xiuhua hurriedly explained.
Like all parents, Li Xinhua’s daughter’s health was a top priority for her.
Over the past few years, various food safety issues have frequently been exposed to the public, which made Li Xiuhua deeply worried.
About three years ago, Ji Xiuhua decided to start a small farm and grow vegetables independently.
She started a small vegetable field behind the village at the foot of a barren mountain.
As for their water intake, Li Xiuhua fetched it from a well and boiled it for her daughter to drink.
She also forbade her daughter from eating any snacks.
“Dr. Chen, I’m also a young woman and know what to give my child.”
“It’s impossible that her illness stems from her food.”
After weaning, Li Xinhua’s daughter drank boiled water and ate plain meals.
It was impossible for her to get sick because of her food.
However, Chen Yu already knew what had happened to Li Xiuhua and her daughter when he saw them standing beside the trash can.
Li Xiuhua was right.
She was definitely a competent mother when it came to taking care of her daughter.
However, some things were beyond Li Xinhua’s control.
“A film crew came to your village not long ago, right?”
Li Xiuhua looked at Chen Yu in confusion.
Weren’t they talking about her daughter’s illness? Why did the topic change to talking about a film crew?
“A film crew did come to our village not long ago and stayed in our village for two months.”
Wait, food? Li Xiuhua seemed to understand why Chen Yu had asked this question.
“Dr. Chen, if you want to learn about the gossip in the production team, I’ll tell you whatever you ask after the treatment.”
“Can we treat my daughter first?”
Li Xiuhua was getting a little impatient.
“I’m treating your child now.”
“Before the production team entered the village, the village chief held a meeting with the villagers,” Chen Yu said calmly.
“He said that the production team wants to build some filming scenes outside the village and hopes you villagers will cooperate.”
“During the construction period, every household will receive a subsidy of 10,000 yuan. Am 1 right?”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s true.”
Li Xiuhua nodded and asked, “Dr. Chen, have you visited our village? How do you know so much?”
“I haven’t been to your village before,” Chen Yu answered with a smile. “I just simply analyzed the situation.”
“Analyzed it?”
Li Xiuhua was about to ask for more details before recalling the kind sir’s reminder.
Chen Yu’s way of doing things was somewhat baffling.
No matter what Chen Yu says, just follow his words.
Thus, Li Xiuhua swallowed the rest of her words.
“With the authorization of your village, the construction team began construction on a barren mountain after entering your village,” Chen Yu added.
“The reason why your daughter is sick is all because of this construction.”
“What does construction have to do with my daughter’s illness?” Li Xiuhua asked incredulously.
“Dr. Chen, please don’t beat around the bush and tell me what’s happening.”
“Do you know there are graves buried halfway up the mountain behind your village?” Chen Yu asked.
“Yes, the barren mountain behind our village is also known as Grave Mountain,” Li Xiuhua replied without hesitation.
“Because of the scarcity of land in our village, the dead are buried there.”
Li Xiuhua wasn’t sure how Chen Yu knew about these things, but she could only continue to answer Chen Yu’s questions.
Their village was called Li Family Village.
8o% of all villagers have the surname Li, and every family has ties of kinship with each other.
The barren mountain behind them was both a grave mountain and the ancestral grave of the Li Family Village.
Sighing, Chen Yu said, “You’ve all been deceived by the person in charge of the film company where the production team is located.”
“They claimed that they were going to shoot a horror movie and build some props on the mountain, but in fact, they dug a hole and built a grave.”
“They buried someone’s ancestors in your ancestral graves.”
Li Xiuhua was completely dumbfounded.
What?
Why would they spend so much effort to bury someone’s ancestors in someone else’s ancestral grave?
Li Xiuhua shook her head.
No matter how she thought about it, it didn’t seem real.
“This film and television company is very influential, with the owner having a net worth of tens of billions. With so much money, he can find any grave he wants. Why would he bury his ancestors here?”
“What does this have to do with my daughter’s illness?”
Li Xiuhua was thoroughly confused.
There were more than 200 households in their village.
Each family received 10,000 yuan as compensation, which equates to more than two million yuan.
This money was enough to buy a mountain, so why did he have to do such a thing secretly?
“Isn’t your village a well-off village?” Chen Yu asked.
Li Xiuhua nodded subconsciously.
The village relied on raising good-quality poultry and cows; each family had tens of thousands in savings.
Chen Yu saw what happened to Li Xiuhua through his Heavenly Secrets Strategy.
From the memory fragments in her mind, he saw the appearance of the barren mountain clearly.
Among the countless people Chen Yu had met, the owner of this entertainment company was one of the most black-hearted bastards he had met.
For his selfish interests, he treated the future of an entire village as a stepping stone.
“Your village is located in a treasured land with great Feng Shui,” Chen Yu explained.
“The core of such a treasured land is that barren mountain.”
“Your daughter’s illness and the disaster about to befall your village originated on this mountain..”
