Chapter 287: The Truth
I said to those present: "Stand back, you will all understand in a moment." ใFine-Color-East-Fang-Literature-Learning M Hand-Hit]"
I asked Lao Yan's daughter-in-law to reheat the hot and sour soup in the pot, and told her to put some greasy raw meat in the soup.
Ouyang Deyuan pulled me back a few steps, and everyone subconsciously retreated when they saw my movements.
They didn't know what I was doing, but Ouyang Deyuan and I stared with bated breath at the messy firewood.
Listen quietly in the kitchen, even if a needle drops on the floor.
After a while, I saw a slight sound from the firewood, squirming, I don't know what it was, but everyone's attention was focused on it.
Suddenly, a red-fiery snake poked its head out, its pointed head had cunning eyes, and its black letter was long and thin, which made everyone feel chilled when swallowing.
A few brave women were so frightened that they almost screamed out, and the village chief hurriedly made a silent gesture.
The red snake seemed to enjoy the aroma of meat in the air, and it swam towards the beam on the stove with its head shaken.
I just swam to the top of the cauldron, and then poked my head out to drool at the hot and sour soup, and everyone saw with their own eyes that drop by drop of snake venom dripping from the beam into the broth.
At this time, all the mysteries of Yiqiฤ were solved.
I said to everyone: "This red snake is a highly poisonous red snake, it usually lives in the mountains, it must be when Lao Yan went up the mountain to chop wood, he didn't pay attention, and brought it home with firewood." The red snake is greedy, and it will drool when it encounters meat, and the snake venom in its saliva accidentally dripped into this soup, which will happen before Lao Yan drank hot and sour soup and died of poisoning. โ
Lao Yan's daughter-in-law knew that her grievances had finally been washed away.
She cried and took my hand: "Girl, if you didn't help me, I wouldn't be able to clear a hundred mouths, thank you." โ
Seeing that everyone had understood this matter, Village Chief Qiao put down the big stone in his heart.
"Alright, alright, now that everything is understood. Let's all go back. After a while, I asked the snake catchers in the village to catch this red snake, and Lao Yan's daughter-in-law buried Lao Yan well, and this matter will pass, and in the future, the big %โฎ%โฎ%โฎ%โฎ, โผ.coโ When chopping wood, be careful not to bring the snake home. โ
The village chief is like this. Everyone also sighed a few times. They went back.
Ouyang Deyuan and I were about to leave. was stopped by the village chief.
He was embarrassed: "The two of you have really helped us a lot, it stands to reason that I shouldn't force you to keep you, but ...... But I really have a reluctant request. โ
"The village chief. We're still on our way...... This ...... "I'm a little unhappy, what's the matter with this village chief, he did a favor and didn't let people go?"
I saw the village chief lift his robe and kneel down towards us.
Hey, this is really a kind of learning, this is how Lao Yan's daughter-in-law left us, and the village chief has learned this trick now, right?
Ouyang Deyuan rolled his eyes, helplessly helped him up and said, "Alas, if you have something, you can do it, whether you can help or not, it is still unknown." โ
The village chief looked happy: "Okay, okay, please come to my house and sit down, please come with me." โ
Along the way, Village Chief Qiao told us a thing.
It turned out that Village Chief Qiao had gone on a business trip half a year ago, and the only thing in the family was the six-year-old daughter Yaya, born to his current wife Yuan and his ex-wife.
According to Village Chief Qiao, before he went far away, his daughter Yaya was a lively and cheerful child who could understand the way, but after he came back from a long trip, the situation was very different.
His lovely and lively daughter Yaya suddenly became a mute, and she didn't care about people, and often hid in the corner of the room alone in a daze, and she no longer had the lively appearance she used to have.
Village Chief Qiao also invited a lot of doctors and gave her a lot of medicine, but not only did it have no effect, but Yaya's health was getting worse and worse, and she was bedridden for a while now.
Seeing her emaciated daughter struggling in pain on the bed, Village Chief Qiao's heart was like a knife again.
His ex-wife also died of a serious illness, and before she died, she repeatedly told him to let him take good care of his daughter Yaya, but now Yaya is terminally ill, and she has nothing to do.
Listening to Village Chief Qiao's words, Ouyang Deyuan and I glanced at each other, and intuitively told us that there was something strange about this matter.
When we arrived at his house, we found his wife, Yuan, boiling medicine for Yaya, and as I passed by, I quietly glanced at the medicine residue that had fallen on the side of the road.
Then he followed Village Chief Qiao and walked straight to the room where Yaya was.
When I came to the room, I smelled a strong smell of medicine and musty, so I hurriedly opened the window of the room and said, "Why is the room so smelly?" โ
Village Chief Qiao hurriedly said: "My wife is afraid that the girl will be more uncomfortable if the wind blows, so she rarely opens the window." โ
Ouyang Deyuan approached Yaya's bed and saw that her cheeks were sunken and her body was much thinner than that of children of the same age.
She looked at me and Ouyang Deyuan timidly, looking very scared.
I hurriedly walked up to her side and comforted her: "Yaya, we are not bad people, we are your father's friends, and we are here to treat you." โ
I also gave her a sweet orange, and she took it and smiled very happily.
Alas, what a poor baby, who has suffered so much and still smiles at strangers.
After a few words with her, I began to help her take the pulse.
Her pulse was very disorganized, which I expected.
I retracted my hand expressionlessly, helped Yaya pull the quilt higher, and said, "Yaya, we have something to discuss with your father, and we will come to see you later." โ
The girl kept stroking the orange in her hand with one hand, as if she couldn't put it down.
I glanced at Village Chief Qiao, he didn't quite understand, Ouyang Deyuan pulled him out of the room without saying a word.
As soon as the door closed, I glared at Village Chief Qiao: "How do you do your father?" Don't you have long eyes? Your daughter Yaya is dying of illness, haven't you ever suspected that there might be something strange in the middle? โ
"What's the doctor you usually invite?" Ouyang Deyuan asked.
Village Chief Qiao stammered: "It's nothing, it's just that Yaya is weak, prescribe some warm and tonic medicine, and slowly recuperate and it will get better." โ
I sighed deeply: "It's true, Yaya was originally upset and injured her body, and she will get better after a few days of slow recuperation, but you gave her so much medicine, do you think she is getting better?" โ
Village Chief Qiao shook his head: "So I'm also strange, Yaya's health seems to be getting worse and worse, and I don't dare to stop those medicines, so I can only boil them for her every day, thanks to my wife Yuan, who is not only working hard every day to make medicine for Yaya, but to take care of Yaya, if it weren't for her...... I'm afraid Yaya has ...... long ago."
Before he was finished, I snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's really thanks to her ruthlessness, if it weren't for her, Yaya would have healed a long time ago." โ
Village Chief Qiao was shocked, he pointed at me and asked, "Are you ...... What do you mean? โ
Ouyang Deyuan felt that there were many confused people in the world, but such a confused father was really rare.
