Chapter 653: New Idea
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Qiniang had already given up!
After she saw her son safe and sound and killing her enemy, Jiang Qiniang already had the intention to die.
She no longer had any reservations. She only wanted to die and see her husband in the netherworld.
Jiang Qiniang had even thought about killing herself when Lin Ning wasn’t by her side.
Although she was weak now, it was easy for her to kill herself.
That was why she showed no emotions when facing her son.
If Shu Ruyue and Lin Ning’s conversation hadn’t let her know that her son was in danger, she really would have killed herself already.
When Lin Ning heard his mother’s question, he was about to say something when Shu Ruyue answered first.
“We don’t know what kind of tracking incense it is! Lin Ning has a sharp nose. After we saved you in the underground tunnel, we encountered a few people from Shatai Village digging for something. Out of curiosity, we went to take a look, but we were tainted by that soul-tracking incense. If not for Lin Ning’s good sense of smell, we wouldn’t have discovered it. When we came back, we tried, but we couldn’t remove the fragrance on our bodies at all. Therefore, I suspect that this thing is a kind of tracking incense!”
At this point, Shu Ruyue said worriedly, “There’s a large faction behind Shatai Village. If the soul-tracking incense allows them to find us, we’ll be hunted down no matter where we hide! Poor us. We’re still so young, but we’ll have to live a life of a fugitive!”
“What’s even more terrifying is that the person behind Shatai Village is skilled in martial arts. I wonder if we can hide from him twice!”
As Shu Ruyue spoke, she turned around and blinked at Lin Ning.
Lin Ning was a little confused, since he didn’t know why Shu Ruyue did this.
She didn’t seem to be wrong!
To be honest, things didn’t seem to be that bad!
When he turned his gaze to his mother and saw anger in her originally dull eyes, he understood something.
Lin Ning voiced his worries, “The most important thing now is to deal with the tracking incense. Only then can the few of us resolve the danger! However, we’ve tried all the methods we can think of, but none of them are effective. How can we get rid of the tracking incense?”
“What herbs did you use?” Jiang Qiniang was so focused on the tracking incense that she had completely forgotten that she was planning to kill herself. Shu Ruyue told her about the herbs Luo Cheng had used previously.
Jiang Qiniang immediately shook her head.
“These herbs are well matched. If it was an ordinary tracking incense, it could be washed away. Since that method is ineffective against this tracking incense, I’m afraid this tracking incense isn’t brewed from herbs at all, but from oil!”
Shu Ruyue was stunned when she heard Jiang Qiniang’s words. “Madam, do you know how to remove this tracking incense?”
After Jiang Qiniang nodded, she looked at Lin Ning and Shu Ruyue.
“Go and invite the doctor who made the medicine previously over. I’ll tell him how to get rid of this tracking incense!”
When Shu Ruyue heard this, she immediately ran out to look for Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.
Luo Cheng was worrying about this matter, so when he heard from Shu Ruyue that Jiang Qiniang knew how to remove this tracking incense, he immediately rushed over.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran naturally followed.
It was naturally better to get rid of this tracking incense, since she didn’t want to be tracked down.
After Jiang Qiniang saw Luo Cheng, she told him what she knew.
“Our family was originally a medical family. Although our medical skills weren’t very outstanding, they were pa.s.sed down from generation to generation for seven generations. When it came to my generation, I was the only woman left. I was interested in medical skills when I was young, so my father pa.s.sed them down to me! What my father didn’t know was that compared to treating illnesses, I was more interested in pharmaceuticals.” At this point, Jiang Qiniang stopped and looked at Luo Cheng.
“Later on, when I was making medicine, I accidentally discovered that when making incense pills, I could add some animal fat to make the fragrance last longer. I became interested and found a lot of animal fat and other materials to try. In the end, I made a kind of fragrant powder that once a person is tainted by it, the smell can remain for a long time!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he pondered over it.
“Madam, you mean that this thing is in one’s body and not on the surface, so the medicine I used to remove the tracking incense is useless?!”
Seeing that Luo Cheng understood what she meant, Jiang Qiniang immediately nodded with a smile. “You’re very smart. From just this little amount of information, you thought of the key point! That’s right, I used a kind of fragrance powder made from the fat in the stomach of a fish. As long as this fragrance powder touches your skin, it will seep into your skin and enter your body. This way, this fragrance can be emitted every time you sweat, so the fragrance will last for a long time!”
“In that case, we have to treat it from the inside!” Luo Cheng immediately found a solution.
“That’s right. You have to recuperate from the inside, and it will take a long time! Fortunately, I also studied how to remove this fragrance back then and finally figured out a prescription. You can take it to study and see if it’s useful!” As Jiang Qiniang spoke, she told him the herbs needed for that prescription.
After Luo Cheng received the prescription, he thanked Jiang Qiniang solemnly and quickly went to develop it.
Lin Ning stayed by his mother’s side while Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue stayed in the house they lived in.
Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but lament, “Sigh, why do I feel like there’s always trouble the moment I go out?! There’s no end to the trouble!”
When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought for a moment and agreed.
Li Xiaoran said gloomily, “We just came out to find some people who know how to make grilled fish or roast meat. Why do I feel like we’ve stirred up trouble?! Trouble came one after another! First, it was a coal mine, and now, it’s Shatai Village! I wonder what will happen next time!”
Shu Ruyue said, “You should worry about the matter at hand first! We have to deal with this soul-tracking incense first! Otherwise, we’ll be tracked down wherever we go in the future!”
Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Shu Ruyue and said, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. You make it sound so easy, as if you weren’t poisoned by the soul-tracking incense as well!”
Shu Ruyue said with a cheeky smile, “Heh, follow closely behind heavy-laden wagons! As long as you’re around, I don’t have to worry about this tracking incense being unable to be removed! Mr.. Luo cares so much about you, so I’ll just wait for the antidote!”
