n leave her alone there."Brother, you needn't blame yourself, it's all in the past. I'm fine, aren't I" Xiao Yuge wore a calm expression, as if she had already turned the page on this matter, yet it s...Xiao Yu Ge checked each of them one by one, and found that their symptoms were all the same, but it wasn't like a plague. It was more like they had been poisoned by something.

Wang Dafu, standing nearby, looked at the several people and still had a bewildered expression: "What kind of illness is this This old man has been practicing medicine for decades and has never seen such a strange situation. Could it really be some kind of epidemic" He then asked Xiao Yuge who was beside him: "Second Young Master, have you figured out what illness they are suffering from"

"This is not a plague, looking at their appearance, it seems more like they were poisoned!"

>

"Poisoned!"

Not only was Dr. Wang astonished, but even the officials who followed him were very surprised.

"Second Young Master, are you certain that this isn't a plague but poisoning" To be frank, even Wang the doctor, who had been practicing medicine for decades, couldn't tell. And Xiao Yuge was just a girl of barely over ten years old. Naturally, what she said was met with suspicion.

"Haven't you all noticed, most of them have black palms and a foul odor. But this symptom is much milder in infants, some almost showing no signs at all. Logically speaking, if it were a plague, infants would be the most severely affected group because they have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to infection. Yet, the current situation is the opposite. This can only mean that infants didn't directly contact the poison, but rather through adults, or even through their mothers. Therefore, the infection rate is slower than in adults."

After hearing this, Dr. Wang also suddenly realized.

How could all the villagers in the entire village be poisoned at the same time if they don't all live in the same house

"The well!"

Xiao Yuge and Wang Daifu almost spoke in unison, pointing out the problem.

Thus, under the village chief's lead, everyone arrived at the old well that villagers usually used. However, when they drew up the water to look, it was crystal clear and didn't seem poisonous at all. Furthermore, after testing with a silver needle, there was no reaction on the needle, indicating that there was no poison in the water.

Could it be that I'm mistaken

Xiao Yu Ge stared at the well, lost in thought. After a long while, she asked, "Village Head, has there been any gathering or event held in the village these past few days"

Here is the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The village head nodded. “Yes, a few days ago, it was our Dumb Woman Village’s annual sacrificial festival.” After saying that, he suddenly remembered something: “By the way, I also remember now, it was from the day after that that people started experiencing this situation one after another.”

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's song, she immediately perked up and asked, "Where will the sacrifice be held"

"At the Temple of the Silent Women."

"Can you take us there to have a look"

"Come with old man!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

A hundred years ago, Dumb Woman Village wasn't called Dumb Woman Village. Later, a major incident occurred in the village. A mute woman saved everyone with her own life. The villagers didn't know her name, but they were grateful for what she did for them. So they built a temple for her, the Temple of Dumb Woman. It received incense from generations of villagers and held a grand sacrificial ceremony once a year to ensure the safety of all men, women, and children in the village.

After arriving at the Temple of the Mute Woman, everyone looked around, but it seemed perfectly normal.

Xiao Yu Ge came to the Silent Woman Statue and observed it carefully. She discovered a tiny bamboo tube in her palm, leading straight to the top of her head. Just as the old village chief gently pressed beside it, a stream of water as thin as a silk thread flowed down.

The village elder said, "This is the divine water from the mountaintop. Every villager who comes to the temple for peace will drink a small cup of it, seeking the protection of the goddess."

>

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, she took out a silver needle from her body and dipped it into the water. As expected, the silver needle immediately changed color. Everyone gathered around and was stunned!

"I think the problem lies with this water." Xiao Yuge pointed to the top of the towering statue of the mute goddess: "There should be something up there."

However, for the villagers, this towering statue was impossible to climb. Xiao Yuge could easily ascend using her light skills, but doing so would reveal her martial arts secret.

The officials standing nearby were all just mediocre in their martial arts. It seemed unlikely that they could jump onto the statue.

People suggested using a hook to climb up, but the statue had been around for years and climbing on it with just a hook might be too much stress. It could possibly break and cause an accident.

>

"I have some fist and foot skills, let me try it out."

At that moment, a young man of about twenty years old stepped out from the crowd. He lightly tapped his foot and leaped into the air, instantly reaching the top of the statue's head. Then, he was seen bending down to take something, then with a light spin, returned to the ground.

Here is the translation of the provided text:

"A snake!" everyone exclaimed when they saw what he was holding.

It turned out that the young man was holding a dead venomous snake!

“Blue blood snake!” Xiao Yuge immediately recognized the venomous snake in that person’s hand. No wonder the doctors couldn’t figure it out. This snake itself is rare. Although its venom is strong, after being diluted by water, its toxicity is greatly reduced. Therefore, for a while, it didn't take those villagers' lives. But it would make them feel as if they had contracted a plague, extremely uncomfortable and unbearably itchy.

Knowing what kind of poison it was, detoxification became much easier. Soon, Xiao Yuge and Dr. Wang, along with the help of the young man, quickly concocted a large pot of antidote based on the snake's venom.

After the villagers drank the antidote, the itchy symptoms on their bodies began to gradually disappear.

The village head was extremely grateful to them and insisted on having them eat a meal before leaving. Despite his persistence, Xiao Yuge wanted to go home but couldn't resist the villagers' enthusiasm, so she stayed with Wang the physician and the others.

After the meal, seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yu Ge scanned the crowd and her mind moved. She turned to the village head beside her and asked: "May I ask, Village Head, was that young man just now a villager here" Although the young man dressed like the villagers, she always felt something was off.

"Oh, you're talking about that Ah Cang He's not from our village. About five days ago, he was injured and fainted at the village entrance. It was Ah Niu and his mother who found him and brought him back to the village to nurse him."

"Ao Cang" Xiao Yuge frowned slightly, glanced at the crowd, and said in a pretended surprise, "I didn't seem to see him just now, did he leave"
