Chapter 327: Waiting
Ignoring Luo Ziran's advice, Qin Xiusheng walked through the townspeople and leaned over to the cauldron. Luo Ziran had no choice but to follow.
Seeing the two approaching, the townsfolk standing by the pot cast hostile glances.
"What do you two want to do? This is the holy water that the Lord gave us, and you will never be allowed to destroy it!"
Some people took the lead, and the other townsfolk chimed in. Looking at that posture, if Qin Xiusheng insisted on approaching, he would be driven out of the town on the spot.
Seeing the excited appearance of the townspeople, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but frown. He said in a deep voice, "Listen to me, there is definitely something wrong with the liquid in this pot, and you have all been deceived by this woman!"
Qin Xiusheng's words drew unanimous opposition from the townspeople, and the angry townspeople kept approaching him.
Luo Ziran, who was following behind Qin Xiusheng, hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him down, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qin, otherwise, forget it." Look at the way they look, if you keep talking, you won't necessarily do anything. ”
Qin Xiusheng bit his lip vigorously, he also knew very well in his heart that the mood of the villagers had reached the most tense time now. If he continues, there is a good chance that he will do something that hurts them.
Faced with danger, Qin Xiusheng gritted his teeth vigorously. He didn't choose to back down, and the doctor's sense of mission told him that he couldn't just watch the townspeople being mutilated by women with drugs no matter what.
Just when Qin Xiusheng was about to persuade again, the woman who had been watching suddenly spoke, "Since you suspect that there is something wrong with the liquid in the pot, then you can come over and take a closer look yourself." ”
After saying that, the woman clapped her hands vigorously to stop the quarrel among the villagers, and then said loudly, "Don't stop him, let him confirm it with his own eyes." ”
With the woman to speak, although the townspeople were full of reluctance, they still got out of the way and let Qin Xiusheng get closer to the pot.
Walking to the side of the pot, Qin Xiusheng sniffed and couldn't help frowning slightly. Contrary to what he imagined, judging by the aroma of the liquid in the pot, it was not a drug, but a variety of herbs that are beneficial to the human body.
Seeing Qin Xiusheng's appearance, the woman smiled softly and said, "If you still don't believe it, then try it yourself." Of course, if you're worried about the poison in there, I'm not going to force you. ”
Hearing the woman's words, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning deeply. He hesitated, picked up the spoon and filled it with some liquid, put it to his mouth and licked it shallowly.
In addition to the strong medicinal fragrance, there is no other suspicious smell in the mouth. And after just a small sip, Qin Xiusheng suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and even the fatigue accumulated along the way had subsided a lot.
Luo Ziran leaned over to Qin Xiusheng and whispered in his ear, "How is it, is there a problem with the liquid inside?"
Qin Xiusheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "In my judgment, these liquids are not only not harmful to the human body, but are very beneficial. ”
Luo Ziran's face also flashed with doubts, although he didn't doubt Qin Xiusheng's judgment, he really couldn't believe that a person who fooled the villagers would actually boil a pot of Chinese medicine soup for the sake of the villagers' bodies.
Walking to the side of the pot, Luo Ziran also tasted the liquid in the pot. After tasting it, Luo Ziran showed the same expression as Qin Xiusheng. Although the pot is a medicinal soup, it is very delicious after boiling. Moreover, under the nourishment of the medicinal decoction, the fatigue accumulated in the body magically subsided.
Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of the two, the woman couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "What's the matter, do you still think that I added something to the soup that shouldn't have been added?"
Although they were very unwilling in their hearts, Luo Ziran and Qin Xiusheng both shook their heads at the same time.
The woman chuckled, she slowly walked to Qin Xiusheng's side, and whispered in his ear, "If you still have any questions, wait for me here after the festival is over." ”
With that, the woman turned straight away and continued to preside over the ceremony.
Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran stepped aside, they thought that there was definitely something wrong with the liquid that the woman took out, and they wanted to expose her in public. But they didn't expect that after tasting it, instead of finding a problem, they were impressed by the taste and efficacy of the decoction.
"Brother Qin, what do you think about this matter?" A flash of doubt flashed in Luo Ziran's eyes, after this incident, he was no longer sure that the woman was fooling the townspeople.
Qin Xiusheng frowned slightly, he shook his head, and said softly, "I'm not sure either." It's too early to say anything, we're waiting and seeing. ”
Luo Ziran suddenly remembered what the woman whispered in Qin Xiusheng's ear just now, and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Brother Qin." What did that woman say in your ear?"
Qin Xiusheng hesitated for a moment and replied, "She asked me to wait for her in the square after the festival ended, saying that she had something to tell me." ”
A flash of doubt flashed in Luo Ziran's eyes, and he couldn't figure out what the woman was going to say to Qin Xiusheng.
"Brother Qin, do you really want to wait for her here?" A flash of worry flashed on Luo Ziran's face, they didn't know anything about women and this town, he didn't want to see Qin Xiusheng take risks, "What if this is a trap she set?"
Qin Xiusheng thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a trap. If she wants to deal with us, as long as she gives the townsfolk an order now, we won't even have a chance to escape, so why bother?"
Luo Ziran lowered his head and thought about it, what Qin Xiusheng said was right. With the status of a woman in the eyes of the townspeople, as long as she said it, the townspeople would definitely implement it without hesitation, and there was no need to set a trap for them.
"Brother Qin, why don't you wait with you later?" Luo Ziran's eyes flashed with hesitation, and he whispered in Qin Xiusheng's ear, "I always feel a little uneasy about letting you wait for her alone." ”
Qin Xiusheng shook his head, he stretched out his hand and patted Luo Ziran on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry, "Don't worry, if I guessed correctly, that woman has no ill will towards us." She might have something important to say to me, and if you're there, she'll have some scruples. ”
Luo Ziran hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly. He glanced at Qin Xiusheng deeply and reminded, "Brother Qin, it's okay for you to wait for her alone, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
Qin Xiusheng nodded and said, "What's the matter, you just have to say it." As long as I can do it, I will never postpone it. ”
Seeing Qin Xiusheng agree, a solemnity flashed in Luo Ziran's eyes.
