Divine Doctor Abandoned Girl

Chapter 47: Saving a Person Poisoned by Ants

When the Ye family learned that something had happened to the Song family’s mine, they were secretly rejoicing.

Although the Song family had a new mining area under their possession, they were all insignificant mining areas and only had a slight chance to become something great.

This time, it was really like the old saying, ‘What goes around comes around.’

The Ye family had refined several dark irons of 60% purity during that period, and that made Ye Gu and the Ye family brothers in high spirits.

On the next fair, they had decided on selling a batch of 60% dark iron to buy some pills and equipment for the younger generation of the Ye family who had potential.

“Fengcheng, I have one more thing for you to do. During this time, you have to gather your best ironsmiths to do more smelting. There will be a smelting conference coming up and the Ye family must win no matter what.” A strange look flashed in Ye Gu’s eyes.

The military… He did not expect that after so many years, the Ye family finally had a chance to work with Great Xia’s military. This time, the Ye family could not miss such an excellent opportunity. Whether the Ye family could recover its prosperity depended on how they would act this time.

Ye Gu’s expression was imposing and nobody knew what he was thinking.

They hadn’t announced the smelting conference yet, and neither Ye Gu nor Song Wanshi disclosed it, so Ye Lingyue wasn’t still aware of it.

After the ice poison incident, Ye Lingyue stepped up on her cultivation as per Ye Fengyu’s instructions. She tried to break through to the ninth level of body tempering.

Besides cultivating, Ye Lingyue would massage her mother with the cauldron breath every few days.

Under Ye Lingyue’s treatment, the cauldron’s breath had swallowed most of the black spots in Ye Fengyu’s body, and the only thing left to repair were the channels.

With the help of the spiritual fruits and herbs from Hongmeng Sanctuary, Ye Fengyu’s complexion looked better day by day. Ye Lingyue felt that it would not take long for her mother to recover completely.

To prevent the emergence of frozen grass, Ye Fengyun asked Ye Lingyue to visit the Seven Northern Hill mine now and then.

Ye Lingyue was wandering around in the mine as usual. After the incident of the ice poison, the Song family had behaved themselves.

Everything was normal in the mine. After looking around, Ye Lingyu was about to leave when suddenly, she heard a mine worker cry out in pain.

Ye Lingyue immediately went towards that direction.

Deep in the mine cave, ores, carts, and shovels were scattered everywhere. At the bottom section of the cave, there was a half-opened wellhead.

Ye Lingyue saw several miners. One of them was holding his leg and crying out in pain. His swollen leg was as thick as his waist; his face was purple and it seemed like he was poisoned.

“What’s the matter?” The miners seemed to have seen a savior as soon as Ye Lingyue appeared, and they quickly gathered around her.

“Zhou Fu found a sealed underground well. When he opened it, a tiny insect crawled out of it and bit him. He became like this afterward!” The miners were all talking at the same time.

The miner who was bitten was holding his leg, and he was slowly losing his consciousness.

Ye Lingyue ordered the people to lift him to the side where there was enough light. Looking into his eyes, she found that he was still responsive with the way his pupils constricted. She then looked at his injured leg.

There was a minor wound on his ankle, and it looked like ant bite marks.

Ye Lingyue quickly took out the flying dagger and made a gash at his wound. Bluish-purple blood flowed out from it and the blood smelled terrible. As soon as it flowed, a layer of frost appeared on the ground.

It was an amazing poison! Were there such poisonous insects in this area?

It shocked Ye Lingyue. She was much more sensitive to this kind of Yin and Yang energy than others because of her Qing cauldron.

“Look after him first, I’ll be back soon.” Ye Lingyue’s eyes swept around and then she went in the direction of the well.

She noticed several ants climbing out the well. They were three to four times the size of ordinary ants, and they had a pair of sharp mandibles at the corner of their mouths.

Whoever started the trouble should end it. Hongmeng’s letter showed that if one was poisoned, he only needed to find where the poison came from. Blood from insects and snakes or powder made from ants and scorpions could cure poison when placed on the wound.

Looking at the ants, they should have crawled out from the well that was not too far away.

Ye Lingyue waved her fists and emitted a blue flash of light. The ants immediately died.

After pinching up a few ants, Ye Lingyue quickly used the Qian cauldron to refine them into ant powder. She then returned and scattered the ant powder on the miner’s wound.

As soon as the powder touched the wound, the bluish-purple swollen part faded away. After several minutes had passed, there was less swelling on the miner’s leg and his breathing became stable.

The miners who had gathered around Ye Lingyue looked at her in a unique light after they had seen her cure the miner with ease. This young lady of the Ye family could be called a saint.

“Take him out and let him drink some saltwater. Go to the accountant’s room to get a silver tael and don’t do any heavy work for ten days.” After telling them this, Ye Lingyue asked the other miners to carry the injured miner out.

“Little Miss, should we seal that well?” Several miners took Ye Lingyue to the underground well.

It was obvious that it was the Song family who had left the well there. Perhaps it was because there were poisonous ants below the well that the Song family sealed it with a big iron cover that weighed about 25 to 30 kilograms.

The miner named Zhou Fu accidentally broke the well, hence there was a crack on the cover.

“It’s fine. I’ll take a look at it first.” Ye Lingyue squatted down and put her right hand on the crack.

As soon as she was near, Ye Lingyue felt Qian cauldron move and a cold and piercing air blew up from the bottom of the well. It was as if there was an ice chamber below.

And the longer she had her hand over the well, the stronger the chill was.

This chilly air would damage a martial arts practitioner’s muscles and bones even if they were of the Postnatal level. No wonder the Song family would seal it up.

But Ye Lingyue was different. She had a cauldron that could swallow all kinds of Yin and Yang energy, and she had taken the Bright Sun Ginseng before. According to her estimation, she could stay in this well for up to four hours.

“Open up the well and then get out of here. I’m going down.” Ye Lingyue suspected that there was something strange underground, so she decided to have a look.

When the miners heard this, they all urged Ye Lingyue not to go down the well. They knew that the head of the Ye family valued this young lady.

Ye Lingyue said nothing else. Waving her hands, she motioned for everyone to leave. She gathered some elementary force on her feet and stomped heavily. She then kicked the iron manhole cover away, which roughly weighed over 20 kilograms.

Arching her back, she burrowed into the well.

When the miners saw this, they were afraid that something might happen to Ye Lingyue, so they immediately went to inform the Master and Ye Huangshu.
