Chapter 168: Counting the Counts (1)
Of course, Lu Yishou didn't know what Jiang Ping was thinking, but seeing that his wife, who usually didn't touch an inch of land, was working so hard for Ye Xiaoyu, although the probability of finding the antidote was extremely low, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.
"This dead girl not only hides a lot of clothes, but also purses, sir, look at this bulging girl, isn't it money?"
Jiang Ping found a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water under Ying'er's pillow, took it in her hand and looked at it, seeing that the workmanship was fine and very weighty, she planned to untie it and look at the contents inside.
"Madam, in my opinion, it must not be simple for a little girl to hide so much money......"
Due to Lu Yishou's eyes, the fifth child didn't dare to go in, but just stood outside the door of the bedroom and poked his head out. Because he saw the appearance of important "props" in his backup plan, he was afraid that Jiang Ping would not open it to see, so he hurriedly said something.
Usually Jiang Ping treats the fifth child very well, but when something like this happened today, she didn't bother to think about whether it had anything to do with him, but she felt that he was very annoying inexplicably.
Hearing Lao Wu's voice, Jiang Ping didn't care about him, just untied the elastic red rope on the purse, and poured all the contents on the table where the bronze mirror was placed.
A puff of dust rose on the table, and after retreating, what was left on the table made Jiang Ping and Lu Yishou startled.
A small pile of gray-black powder was poured on the table, a bit like sesame powder, among this powder, there were a few stones shaped like broken silver, I don't know what was corroded, the originally smooth surface of these stones became pitted, but even so, you can still see the blood-red "Ye Xiaoyu" on one of them.
A gust of wind blew. The oil lamp on the table went out, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became eerie.
"Don't touch those powdered ......"
Although the Zhuang family is most afraid of dealing with ghosts and gods, Jiang Ping's courage is greater than that of ordinary people, at this time she is afraid, but her hands are uncontrollable, and she wants to touch the black and gray things. But as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was frightened by the sudden sound and retracted her hand, and when she looked up, she found Qing Lang standing in the doorway, sweating profusely, looking at her with his bottomless dark black eyes.
"Sunny, why are you here. Didn't you look at that? ”
Lu Yishou saw that it was sunny and ran over alone. Asked with some surprise. Didn't you tell him to take Ying'er to the West Chamber and lock it up? Ying'er is so scheming, leave her there alone, what if she runs away?
"Don't touch that, it's poisonous."
The situation is urgent. Qing Lang didn't answer Lu Yishou's words. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ping and said again.
"Huh??"
Listened to the sunny words. Jiang Ping hurriedly took a few steps back and walked to the side of Lu Yishou.
Is this poison?
No wonder the stone inside the purse has been eroded like that.
"Sunny do you recognize this thing? So is this something that poisons Xiaoyu? Is there an antidote? ”
If it's clear, it's like a burst of light. Shot directly into Lu Yishou's brain, making him seem to have caught a glimmer of life.
Turning his head to look at the old five who was standing at the door and poking his head out, Qing Lang did not speak.
"Ahem...... Old Five, there's nothing going on here, you go back and rest first. Also, tomorrow you go to Dae Village to help me collect last year's land rent......"
Lu Yishou understood and said to the fifth child.
Having said that, no matter how much the fifth child wants to stay there, there is no reason to stay. Although this incident started suddenly, the ending still went according to his own plan, anyway, things are almost over, and it is easy to be suspicious if he insists on staying here. And after what Ying'er said just now, he didn't know if Lu Yishou suspected him.
After such consideration, he said two polite goodbyes and withdrew.
"This thing is called a stone mullion, and it contains highly poisonous, and the poison in the ground and Ye Xiaoyu is this."
After confirming that the fifth child had gone away, Qing Lang spoke lightly, even when he was sweating profusely, his tone was still indifferent, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him.
"So, the ghost in the field is also Ying'er? Forget it, I don't want to mention that, I remember that you found the antidote in the field before, right? ”
Over there, Ye Xiaoyu was still lying on the bed, unconscious, and he didn't know if he was out of breath, Lu Yishou was not in the mood to reason about the situation in the ground at the moment, but he just thought that if it was the same poison, would Ye Xiaoyu's chances of being rescued be greater.
"Hmm."
Sunny replied.
"It was just the sudden thought that there might be poison hidden in the house and rushed over."
Wiping the beads of sweat that kept popping up on his forehead, he added a sentence in a sunny and stiff voice.
Growing so big, he never explained his actions, even when everyone didn't understand, but tonight, he had to stubbornly organize jerky words to explain, for a reason he couldn't explain himself.
"Hurry up, hurry up ......"
Hearing that there was an antidote, Lu Yishou's eyes became concentrated, and he didn't ask Qing Lang if he had brought the antidote with him, so he grabbed his sleeve and dragged him to Nanyuan.
The situation was urgent, Jiang Ping didn't say much, and followed closely and quickly.
God willing, you must not let Ye Xiaoyu choke.
The August sun is blazing, and it's the hottest time of the year. In the sweaty season, only the cicadas on the tree are still chirping tirelessly, as if they are about to have a hoarse final before the end of their short life.
When Ye Xiaoyu opened her eyes, there was such a scene outside the window.
When she realized that she was still covered with a thin layer of sheets, she was so frightened that she kicked it away, on such a hot day, even if she didn't wear clothes, she would cramp hot, not to mention covering the quilt while wearing clothes, she was suddenly a little glad that she was so lucky that she didn't suffer from heat stroke.
Hearing the movement in the bedroom, Hong'er ran in like a frightened rabbit, and when she saw Ye Xiaoyu who was staring at her with her eyes open and smiling, Hong'er couldn't stop crying again.
It's good that all together are over, and they are all back to their original state.
It was as if someone told him that the end of the world had passed as soon as he woke up, which made Ye Xiaoyu feel refreshed.
In fact, when Ye Xiaoyu woke up, she already knew that Qinglang had already helped her get a qiē, although she didn't know the details, but judging from Hong'er's intermittent statement, Ye Xiaoyu's plan should be considered a success.
That's right, part of this incident is Ye Xiaoyu's plan.
However, the poisonous chicken soup that Ying'er sent to her was of course not included, this was Ying'er's plan.
And Ye Xiaoyu's started by accepting Ying'er's chicken soup.
Ye Xiaoyu has an advantage, or a disadvantage, that is, the feeling of believing too much in herself, in other words, being too suspicious. When Ying'er brought her chicken soup that day, even if it was normal on the surface, she was confirmed by Lu Qian, but there was still a stalk stuck in her heart, and she always felt that something was wrong.
After thinking all the way, she still had no clue when she returned to Lujiazhuang from the field. happened to see Qing Qing who had just returned from transporting goods from Yuejing in the courtyard, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't care so much, and directly pulled him aside and told him about the situation and his doubts.
It was late afternoon, and Hong'er and Liu Mei'er finished eating and took a nap in the hall. Ye Xiaoyu tiptoed in, took the crockpot on the table to the small kitchen in the yard and showed it to Qinglang.
Sunny and not a fairy, just looking at the things in the crockpot, except for chicken soup is chicken soup, you can't see anything unusual. Ye Xiaoyu never admitted that Qinglang was smarter than herself, even after this incident, she thought that the reason why Qinglang was able to quickly analyze the pros and cons of things was because he had many "props" on him.
That's the way it was at that time, Qinglang glanced at the chicken soup, and when he realized that he couldn't distinguish the difference, he took out a small silver needle from his arms, which was about the same size as the embroidery needle used by Liu Meier to embroider handkerchiefs, but the color was not so bright and white. He pinched one end of the silver needle with his thumb and forefinger, and plunged the other end into the chicken broth and gently probed it, and just like that, the small silver-white needle suddenly turned black, as if it had been smoked by thick smoke.
Ye Xiaoyu was a little frightened, turned her head to look at Qinglang, and saw that there was still no special expression on that delicate and indifferent face, just wiped the silver needle with a handkerchief and put it back in her arms.
Next, Qing Lang took a bowl and poured the chicken soup into the bowl just like the last time he decomposed the toxins in the soil of the silver plate, and this time, without waiting for the contents to settle, he could clearly see the faint particles floating on the soup, which were exactly the same as the toxins in the ground last time. Although it is very small, if you look closely, you can still see it clearly with the naked eye.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu was inexplicably afraid, killing two birds with one stone, Ying'er or Lao Wu's trick was really clever. Sending chicken soup to herself in the name of Lu Qian, even if she had an accident after drinking it, it had nothing to do with her, and she drank it all the way with great fanfare like Ying'er, and everyone knew that this chicken soup was given by Lu Qian. In view of Lu Qian's attitude towards others on weekdays, Ye Xiaoyu drank the chicken soup sent by Lu Qian and had an accident, even if she didn't dare to say it openly, don't think about Lu Qian's name in Quanxiu Village, although her current reputation is not much better. But there is still a difference between killing people and being brutal and willful.
I haven't gossiped because I've been busy with things in the field recently, but this doesn't mean that she Ye Xiaoyu is a soft persimmon, anyone can pinch it.
Since they have made a "good start", Ye Xiaoyu can't bear to sweep their interest like this. simply planned and accompanied them to perform this big play. Thinking that tragedy can make people remember it harder, Ye Xiaoyu decided to write the ending of this drama more tragically.
But now it seems that the ending of this play is not as sad as she expected.
The afternoon sun was even more violent, and the heat wave from the kitchen roof made Ye Xiaoyu's face flush. At that time, she had a preliminary plan in her mind, but she needed someone to cooperate. The most suitable person was already standing in front of her, but Ye Xiaoyu didn't know how to speak.
"There is an herb that is very similar to the symptoms of poisoning after eating, but as long as you take the antidote beforehand, you can wake up after three days."
Just as Ye Xiaoyu was rubbing her hands and sweating crampedly, Qinglang put down the bowl in her hand, as if she had seen through what she was thinking, and opened her mouth lightly. (To be continued......)
