Things have been really strange in the Qingshan Team lately.
Several of the local loafers had all fallen ill at the same time, and with the exact same symptoms. They were all weak and pale—anyone who didn't know better would have thought their yang energy had been drained by some demoness.
Of course, no one actually knew what a person whose yang energy had been drained by a demoness looked like. It was just that these men looked exactly like the scholars from the old folks' stories who had suffered that very fate.
Feng Ergou's parents were at home discussing this very matter.
Feng Ergou was paying attention at first, but then his mother remarked, "I heard that all those loafers only ended up like this after getting close to Xu Wenwan. Now everyone's saying she's a jinx!"
As a man, Feng Ergou's father knew a little more about the situation.
He'd heard that all the men who got sick had tried to climb over the wall into Xu Wenwan's yard.
