Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 141 - 143: Mysterious Man

The moment her body fell, Feng Bailing grabbed the well’s rim with one hand, while the other executed a Grappling Hands move to latch onto the wrist of the person.

The person did not expect that, under such circumstances, Feng Bailing could still manage to overpower him.

Feng Bailing quickly concentrated her Pure Yang Qi into her fist and struck a heavy blow to the vital point of the opponent’s chest. The person only grunted and then plummeted straight down.

Feng Bailing, hanging onto the edge of the well with one hand, had difficulties exerting force; calling out at this time might not be heard by the villagers and would only waste her strength, which left her in a bind.

Then, a hand reached down, its fingers long and fair.

"Miss, are you alright?"

That hand was large and strong; with a forceful pull, Feng Bailing was dragged up out of the well.

Standing beside the well was a figure, a man who was thin and tall, his red clothes fluttering in the night breeze.

The man’s features were handsome, with a straight and pronounced nose and lips tinged with rouge smiling, his hair like a waterfall tumbling to his waist, and his skin as white as December snow, exuding a reckless and extravagant beauty all over.

In the distance, there were the voices of villagers and the childish tones of Feng Xiaoli.

Night had fallen, the sky dotted with stars.

Feng Bailing turned back to glance at the ancient well.

"That person pushed you."

The man in red looked at the well and noted the absence of any sounds coming from below.

"Thank you for saving my life. I am Feng Bailing."

Feng Bailing gave a bow of respect.

She took a glance at the man’s hand; his hands were white and soft, showing no signs of practicing martial arts.

"I am Hua Wushang, merely a traveler, currently residing in Qi Village."

Hua Wushang revealed an innocuous smile.

Seeing the man in red standing by the well, still holding the Queen Mother’s hand, Dugu Xiaojin was on guard and hastily ran to Feng Bailing’s side, clutching her hand and hiding her behind him, like a mother hen protecting her chick.

The man chuckled and released his hand.

"Mr. Hua, why are you here? We just heard loud shouting."

Lady Lai and several other village women had also come to look for Feng Bailing; she was a bit puzzled upon seeing the man.

Mr. Hua had arrived at Qi Village not long ago. He was alone and said he wanted to settle in the village. As he could read, the village chief allowed him to stay and teach the children literacy.

He was well-tempered and handsome, making him popular among the children.

He was somewhat reclusive, though. Apart from teaching the children to read and write every morning, he would mostly stay inside and rarely interacted with the other villagers.

"He saved me, just now someone pushed me down the well, it was a woman."

Feng Bailing pointed at the well behind her.

Hearing this, Lady Lai was visibly startled.

After she went back and informed the village chief, the chief immediately gathered all the villagers. After a headcount, the village chief’s expression turned grave.

"Tiezhu’s wife is missing."

From the village chief, Feng Bailing learned that Tiezhu’s wife had married into the village from outside three years ago, and shortly after, Tiezhu had passed away.

"Let’s go down and fish the person out."

Feng Bailing suggested, certain that the other party was definitely of the noble class, and had possibly disguised herself as a villager to infiltrate Qi Village.

"We can’t go down into that well; it is under the protection of the Earth God. If we go down, it would offend the Earth God, and the whole village would suffer bad luck. A few years ago, when the well first dried up, I sent people down, but none who descended ever came back up."

The village chief shook his head firmly.

Despite Feng Bailing’s repeated requests, the plan had to be abandoned due to the village chief’s opposition.

At night, after Feng Bailing had put Feng Xiaoji to bed, she saw Dugu Xiaojin tossing and turning, his eyes wide open, devoid of sleepiness.

The little fellow seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

"What’s wrong, Xiaojin?"

Feng Bailing had been paying attention to Xiaojin for a long time. Since returning from the ancient well, he had seemed very preoccupied.

Finally, Dugu Xiaojin mustered up the courage and pointed outside.

Upon hearing this, Feng Bailing turned over and sat up.

In the dead of night, Qi Village was enveloped in silence.

The moon was obscured by dark clouds.

Then they saw a figure quickly approaching the well.

Hua Wushang’s black hair and the striking red clothes he wore were particularly conspicuous.

He looked at the well and then, after a moment’s contemplation, leaped down into it.

Below the well, all was pitch black. Hua Wushang had descended halfway when suddenly, he furrowed his brows, sensing something, grabbing the well’s walls with his hands and pushing off with his feet to return to the opening. There was now a hint of alarm in his eyes.

This place below, live people simply cannot stay.

Hua Wushang felt disappointed; this wasn’t his first attempt to explore the well, each try ending in failure.

Hua Wushang’s figure disappeared into the night.

Outside Qi Village, the man’s voice was colder than the night itself.

"Where is the person?"

Several figures in black knelt before him.

The leader, with sallow skin and eyes full of darkness—if Feng Bailing were there, she would certainly recognize this person as Xiao Junci of Beiqi, with whom she once had a brief encounter.

What was Xiao Junci doing here in the dead of night with his subordinates?

"The Shadow Lady has been exposed and fell into the ancient well; I fear her chances are slim."

After one of the black-clothed men reported, Xiao Junci’s brows furrowed.

"So many days, so many people, not a single success—a bunch of useless trash."

They had set their sights on Qi Village for half a month. Every night, they sent people down the well, but not one living person came up.

Xiao Junci refused to believe such superstition.

Bringing his subordinates, he approached the well and plunged in, but in just a few breaths, Xiao Junci climbed back up, his expression dark and cursing under his breath. He and his men left, unwilling and discontent.

In the course of one night, two sets of people tried, and the ancient well stood silently, untouched.

Under the moonlight, rustling sounds could be heard.

This time, two figures, one large and one small, approached.

"Xiaojin, do you really have a way to get into the well?"

Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin followed the moonlight to the well.

As Dugu Xiaojin spoke, a blue light flickered at his brow, and suddenly, an ice-blue "Earth" character appeared at his forehead.
