After being silent for a while, Xiao Nan slowly opened his mouth under the anxious eyes of several other people: "Since you want her to die, why did you come to beg me to save people?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xing Longchao's body trembled violently, and he staggered back half a step.

"I'm not lying." Xiao Nan slowly stood up, glanced at Xing Kexin, who had a dull expression, and then looked away, and stared at Xing Longchao, whose face was pale, "The last time I treated my aunt, I felt that something was wrong. Her illness was mainly caused by the stagnation of qi and blood caused by physical weakness, and in essence, it was not a serious illness. As long as I have been treated, carefully recuperated, and kept in a happy mood, as short as three months or as long as a year, I should have recovered almost, never. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Nan frowned tightly: "But..."

Xing Kexin hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

Xiao Nan turned around and looked at Feng Xiu, and then spoke: "When I was just checking my aunt's pulse, I found that her breath in her body was unstable, so that her breathing was heavy and her heartbeat was slow. And the nails are blue, and there is faint purple bruise under the skin..."

Xing Longchao snorted: "Just tell me directly, what does this mean!" ”

Xiao Nan stared at him with a calm expression: "This is a symptom of chronic poisoning, and it has been poisoned into the bone marrow." ”

"What!" Xing Longchao's eyes widened sharply, "You are talking nonsense!" How could my wife be poisoned! ”

Xing Kexin also hurriedly rushed to Xiao Nan, stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm: "Little sir, are you mistaken?" ”

Xiao Nan turned his head and asked Feng Xiudao: "Auntie, have you always felt dizzy and nauseous lately, your memory is getting worse and worse, you are often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and the bones in your body hurt as if they had been sawed with a blunt knife?" ”

Feng Xiu's body was stunned suddenly, and then he couldn't help but nod: "Mr. Xiao is not bad at all." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Nan answered, and sat down on the chair again, "If it means harming people's lives, it's best not to invite me Xiao Nan to come to see you." ”

Xing Kexin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the dull-eyed Xing Longchao, shouting excitedly: "It's all you!" It's all you! Why do you want to hurt your mother! Why..."

Xing Longchao let his daughter's fist hit him in the chest, his body swayed backwards, and finally he stood unsteadily and sat down in the corner.

"Kexin! That's your dad! Feng Xiu snorted, "You stop me!" Are you going to me off alive! ”

Xing Kexin froze her body, turned her delicate body to look at her mother, and two lines of tears rolled down: "Mom, he has already treated you like this..."

"Kexin, your father and I have been husband and wife for decades, and no one in this world knows him better than me." Feng Xiu reprimanded with red eyes, "We are a family, and you are his daughter." Anyone can doubt him, but you can't. ”

"Mom, I..."

Feng Xiu cried: "You are doing this to stick a knife in your father's heart!" ”

Although Xing Longchao sat in the corner and didn't speak, he blinked hard, and the tears that he wanted to hold back still flowed irrepressibly.

There were only four people in the room, and now there were three crying, Xiao Nan couldn't stand such a scene.

He got up and went to the window, his eyes looking through the clean glass window at the courtyard below.

"It's good, it's good for the family to quarrel and shed tears." Xiao Nan thought to himself, he didn't even remember what his parents were like, and even arguing with them was a luxury...

Xing Kexin hugged Feng Xiu, still crying. Xing Longchao stood up with one hand on the wall, wiped the corners of his eyes, and walked behind Xiao Nan: "Little sir, as long as I can save my wife's life, I will give you whatever you want." Even if you want Xing Longchao's life, you can take it. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, you don't know about Auntie's poisoning at all?" ”

Xing Longchao frowned tightly, looking excited: "I have been married to her for decades, and we have suffered so much together, how could I do such a beastly act?" Little sir, I dare to swear to the heavens, if I Xing Longchao really has the intention of harming his wife, let me be thundered to the top, shattered my bones, and I will not die well! ”

"But..."Xiao Nan turned around slowly, "Auntie is chronically poisoned, it must be caused by taking some kind of toxic substance for a long time, and it is definitely not overnight." ”

Xing Long shrank his pupils: "What do you mean... Someone secretly poisoned her? ”

Xiao Nan said: "I first need to know what kind of poison my aunt has before I can think about how to treat it." Her condition is serious and she is in danger of dying at any time, so let's not stand stupidly and check it out quickly. ”

Xing Longchao hurriedly asked, "Where to start first?" ”

Xiao Nan replied: "Something to eat, something to drink." ”

"It can't be." Xing Kexin let go of Feng Xiu, stood up and looked at him, "I have been taking care of my mother all these years, and many times I can't even take care of school. We ate almost every meal together, and my mother had a bad appetite, so I often ate more. If she had been poisoned, I should have been poisoned even deeper. ”

Xiao Nan frowned tightly, and then slowly stretched it out again: "The range is much smaller, let's check what medicine she has taken." ”

As soon as he said this, several people in the room froze again, looking strange.

Xiao Nan looked puzzled: "What's wrong?" Is there a problem with my language? ”

Xing Kexin clenched her silver teeth and stared at her father: "Mom's medicine was the first you to get back." ”

"Kexin." Feng Xiu scolded again, "Can't you hear what your mother said, don't doubt your father anymore!" ”

"But..."Xing Kexin's pretty face changed color slightly, "I can't think of any other possibilities other than the medicine he prepared for you." ”

Xing Long blushed face, turned around and walked quickly to the cabinet in the corner. He opened the drawer, took out a small wooden box more than 20 centimeters square and put it on the table, looked up and said to Xiao Nan: "Little sir, all the medicine my wife takes every day is here. ”

Xiao Nan walked to the table, gently covered the wooden box with his palm, and asked lightly, "What is the origin of these medicines?" Is it a doctor's prescription? ”

"It's not." Xing Longchao replied, "When Feng Xiu was seriously ill a few years ago, he went to many hospitals but it didn't work, and Mr. Zhong Guotao, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in our city, said that my wife's illness fell during confinement and was an incurable disease. Even if you can survive with proper conditioning, you will be riddled with serious illnesses for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to cure it. ”

Xing Longchao felt a little uncomfortable behind him, and turned his head to find that his daughter Xing Kexin was staring at him without blinking.

His expression was a little embarrassed, and he paused slightly, before nodding his head slightly: "It's mainly because of me, I've been too busy with work over the years, even when Kexin was born, I didn't take good care of their mother and daughter, that's why Feng Xiu is so sick." It was my dereliction of duty as a husband and a father. ”

Xing Longchao felt that the gaze behind him seemed to soften a little, and then continued: "Mr. Zhong Guotao's medical skills, even if you look at the whole country, should be outstanding. When I heard him say this, I was already in despair. But at this time, a doctor took the initiative to come to the door and demanded a sky-high price, claiming to be able to save my wife's life. ”

Xiao Nan opened the wooden box, picked up a small transparent bottle from it, and stared at the crystal clear light cyan pill inside: "So you agreed?" ”

Xing Longchao's face was full of bitterness: "We were already desperate at that time, and there was no room for choice. I was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and with the idea of giving it a try, I let Feng Xiu take his medicine. At first, the effect was indeed quite significant, but then the effect became worse and worse, and even a kind of dependence was faintly generated. ”

Xiao Nan asked, "Didn't you ask the doctor why?" ”

Xing Kexin suddenly said: "I asked when I took medicine for my mother, and he said that with his own ability, he can continue my mother's life, but he can't completely cure it." As time goes by, the toxins in the body accumulate more and more, and the effect naturally gets worse and worse. The response he gave was to ask his mother to increase the dose, initially one pill every three days, and then gradually became one pill a day. ”

Xiao Nan glanced at her: "What about now?" ”

Xing Kexin hesitated slightly, and then replied in a low voice: "Nine grains a day." ”

Xiao Nan couldn't help but sigh: "Drink to quench your thirst." ”

Xing Longchao's face changed suddenly: "Little sir, is it really a problem with this medicine?" ”

"I don't know yet, but I guess eight or nine is not far from ten." Xiao Nan unscrewed the medicine bottle, sniffed it lightly, and then raised his head and said to Xing Kexin, "Excuse me, find me a candle to light it." ”

"Okay, I'll get ready right away." Xing Kexin nodded hurriedly, and ran out of the house with a turn.

After a while, she ran back in and placed a white candle on the table: "Little sir, are you lighting it?" ”

Xiao Nan nodded: "Let's do it." ”

Xing Kexin struck a match and leaned over to light the candle.

When she lit the candle, Xiao Nan deliberately looked away, not looking at her slightly open chest.

Xiao Nan focused his eyes on the candle as much as possible, but with a casual glance, he saw a long scar on Xing Kexin's wrist.

The scar was like a hideous centipede, stretching from Xing Kexin's wrist into the sleeve of her coat, in stark contrast to her white skin, which seemed to be congealed.

As if noticing Xiao Nan's gaze, Xing Kexin hurriedly withdrew her jade hand after lighting the candle. Her eyes shone slightly, and she pulled her sleeves a little shyly.

Xiao Nan stared at the jumping flames, and asked casually, "How did you do it?" ”

Xing Kexin pursed her lips: "When I was very young, no one cared... Cooking is scalded with hot oil..."

Xing Longchao lowered his head, and a thick guilt flashed through his eyes.
