Chapter 21: Poison
Looking at the dozen or so herbs that looked almost the same, Tianya was dumbfounded: "Master, why did you divide an herb into more than a dozen parts and put it here?" ”
Lin Bai glared at Tianya, turned to Wen Jing and said, "You might be able to distinguish these herbs?" ”
Wen Qi Niang picked it up and looked at it, and smelled the taste: "Polygonum multiflori, wild mint, plantain, prunella, honeysuckle, dandelion, lantern grass, Xanthium, Angelica dahurica, Radix indigo, this is the most reluctant."
Wen Qi Niang looked at the herb in her hand and smelled it left and right, looking up and down, there was no way to match any of the herbs in her mind, so she wanted to put it in her mouth and taste it.
Lin Bai's eyes lit up, grabbed Wen Qiniang's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that if you are one second late, you will die in Huangquan." ”
Wen Qiniang put down the herbs and smiled lightly: "It seems that this is the famous broken intestine grass, that is, the hook kiss." ”
Seeing Wen Qi Niang's calm and calm appearance, and seeing her say the name of the Broken Intestine Grass, knowing that it was a poisonous weed, she categorically would not put it in her mouth, Lin Bai's eyes were a mi, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she seemed to smile and said: "It turns out that Qi Niang knew that this was a hook kiss early on." ”
"Ah, senior sister, you are not small, you dare to tease Master!" Tianya said speechlessly, secretly sighing in his heart, he usually jokes about his master in words at most, and he never dares to "tease" his master like this! Looking at Lin Bai again, there was a smile hidden in his eyes, which made Tianya even more surprised.
"That's also the master's 'teasing' of the apprentice first, and this hook kiss is not in that "Hundred Herbs" at all." Wen Qiniang said, she had been exposed to a lot of knowledge of medicinal herbs in her previous life, the environment around the corpse, plants, may also become the key to solving the case, even in modern times, there are cases of plant poisoning, if necessary, forensic doctors can be part-time plant experts, biological experts, etc., she initially suspected that this was a broken intestine grass, but she couldn't be sure, so she pretended to put it in her mouth, and Lin Bai stopped it, and determined that this was indeed the hook kiss, but there was no record of this highly toxic herb in that herbal book, and the dozen or so herbs before were common herbs, This bowel-breaking grass was clearly meant to test her.
Lin Bai took out another book with the words "Poison Pharmacology" written on it, and handed it to Wen Qiniang: "This book records all kinds of poisons, remember them well, you may often deal with them in the future." ”
Wen Qiniang naturally understood what Lin Bai meant, in ancient times, it was quite common to kill people with poison, infighting in the house, the thief ship in the black shop, and even in the palace, poison usually plays an important role in it, even if the autopsy is not performed, if you encounter a poisoned person, if you can quickly judge what poison is in it and find the antidote in time, you can save people's lives.
"Hold your hand out." Lin Bai said suddenly.
Wen Qiniang was stunned for a moment, and obediently stretched out her hand.
Lin Bai's slender fingers were placed on Wen Qi Niang's wrist and began to take the pulse, for some reason her face became more and more gloomy, Wen Qi Niang was startled, thinking that Lin Bai saw that she was not the original owner of this body.
"Have you changed your diet lately? Or change the prescription? Lin Bai raised his head and asked.
Wen Qiniang thought about it, she couldn't remember the original owner's previous diet, but after she entered this body, her diet did change a lot, this was known through Wu's mother's mouth, she only said that she wanted to change the taste, and Wu's mother didn't ask the bottom of it, when it came to the prescription, it seemed that from the bowl of medicine that Qingshuang gave her to drink for the first time, she secretly poured the medicine in the flower pot in the future, it was a three-point poison, and she didn't want to become a medicine jar.
"I haven't taken medication for nearly a month, and my diet is no different from everyone else."
Lin Bai nodded, as if he had an understanding: "Your pulse is disordered, your pulse is weak, and there are signs of degeneration in your internal organs, before I saw that your face was yellow, your eyes were blank, and your body seemed to be seriously ill, but now, it is much better than before, from the pulse, your body is healing, but you said that you have not taken medicine for a month, then there is only one possibility left, there is chronic poison in the medicine you took before, you can be regarded as escaping, if you take it for another month, I am afraid it will be your turn to be autopsied." ”
Wen Qi Niang's heart trembled, thinking that she was lying in the cold morgue, being touched from head to foot to check the cause of death, she suddenly felt shuddering, it seems that the previous owner of this body was not entirely because of heart disease, but chronic poisoning, so who caused her to die?
"But why is that pot of flowers blooming more and more?" Wen Qiniang continued to ask.
"The efficacy of the drug varies from person to person, and all things in the world are mutually restrictive, the original non-toxic two things are put into a person's body, but because of the nature of each other, over time it will produce toxins, causing irreversible damage to the body, and the autopsy can not detect signs of poisoning at all, because it is chronic poisoning that causes kidney and other organ failure, not overnight poison death, this person should be extremely pharmacological." Lin Bai said solemnly, and then added, "It's really well-intentioned." ”
Wen Qi Niang's eyes were cold, who took the trouble to think that "Wen Qi Niang" would disappear?
Every time the medicine is fried by Wu's mother, and then Qingshuang gives it to her, these two usually behave very normally, and get along for many days, Wen Qiniang has treated them as family, if the two really have bad intentions, she doesn't dare to think about it, she would rather believe that they don't know at all, but are used as gunmen.
"Purr"
Suddenly remembered the sound of snoring in her ears, Wen Qiniang heard the sound and saw that Tianya had fallen asleep, and the medical book in her hand had been covered on her face at some point, and she suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder this senior brother didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he was idle all day long.
Lin Bai glanced at Tianya, who was snoring rhythmically, and sighed.
"I also ask Master not to disclose this matter to anyone for the time being, not even my father." Wen Qiniang said.
Lin Bai nodded, even if Wen Qi Niang didn't say it, he was not a person who chewed the root of his tongue.
Bursts of firecrackers suddenly rang out outside the door.
"It's on fire?!" Tianya rolled off the table and chair in fright.
"Shut up!" Lin Bai glared at Tianya again.
"It should be the new magistrate who has arrived." Wen Qiniang said.
As soon as Tianya heard that there was something lively to see, he immediately cheered up: "Master, I'll go out to see what's going on." ”
Without waiting for Lin Bai to speak, Tianya rushed out of the county like a monkey, Wen Qiniang said goodbye to Lin Bai, and also followed Tianya out of the city, she was not curious about the new county magistrate at all, she just wanted to see Wen Qiran, everyone felt that he should replace the dead Zhou county magistrate and become the new magistrate, but I didn't expect that the document issued by the ministry clearly indicated that there would be a new magistrate soon, although Wen Qiran looked calm on his face, but Wen Qiniang could see how much he cared about this matter.
Wen Qiniang thought that the new magistrate would be a middle-aged man with a lot of beard about the same as Zhou County, but she never thought that from a distance, the new magistrate turned out to be a white-faced scholar, wearing an official uniform, but she also looked magnificent, and a little lady shyly put the garland made of flowers in her hand around the neck of Xinzhi County, and then ran away shyly.
Wen Qiran greeted him at the gate of the county office, and then the two entered the government together.
"Although she looks like a little white face, it's a little worse than me and my master, junior sister, do you say yes or no?" Tianya said unconvinced.
"Naturally, if Senior Brother Tianya wears that official uniform, the little lady who will give you flowers will definitely line up to Jiming Temple." Wen Qi Niang is colorful.
"That's nature." Tianya said complacently, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and then said: "Am I such a superficial person? I'll be jealous that he has a little lady to send flowers? ”
Wen Qiniang smiled and ignored him again.
