A cry of alarm suddenly emanated from the crowd, and Jiang Li focused her gaze to see an elderly person had fainted.
The old timer had just arrived in Fufeng County after a long journey, thinking they could finally escape hardship, only to be greeted by the unexpected disappearance of the river water. Unable to withstand the shock, they had collapsed, exhaling far more than inhaling and looking as if they might breathe their last at any moment.
"Make way, quickly make way!"
A middle-aged man, dressed in a long robe and looking like a doctor, squeezed through the crowd to take the elder's pulse and check their eyelids. Then, instead of employing the methods expected of a doctor, he took out a piece of talisman paper.
"Bring water."
As soon as the talisman paper touched the water, it was dyed, and in the blink of an eye, a bowl of rune water was ready.
