Chapter VIII Poison to Poison
"Weiwei, how long have you been here?" The master sat at the table, playing with the teacup in his hand, and looked preoccupied.
"Hmm...... Wait for me to think about it. "yes, I've been here for a long time, I can't remember exactly......
"Miss, it's almost three years in a few months." Nian Nian reminded me that Nian Nian was much more careful than me.
"The master has been around for almost three years, and these three years are thanks to the care of the master." Yes, it's been three years, and the days have gone by so fast, I haven't been back to see my sister for a long time, and I don't know how my sister is.
"There's one thing, I don't know if it's the right thing to do." The master touched his beard and was a little tangled.
"Master, you say ......" I looked at the master fixedly and added a cup of tea to the master.
"Although the healer is benevolent, but you are a girl after all, I think I should teach you something about self-defense." The master drank the tea I had poured and suddenly made up his mind.
"Master, you say, I will definitely study hard and will not disappoint the master." Although I didn't know what the master was going to teach me, I was still secretly determined to live up to the master.
"In this life, I have read all the medical books, tasted all the herbs, saved countless people, and knew countless poisons, but I have never had any thoughts, but now I am like a daughter to you, I can't accompany you all my life, it's time to teach you some methods of using poison, and I have prepared for self-defense." The master looked at me with a firm look in his eyes, full of love.
"Master......" Tears rolled in my eyes, and I looked at the white hair on my master's head and the wrinkles on his face, and my heart was sad.
The master's words pierced my heart deeply, since my father left, everyone wants me to grow up, and only in front of the master can I be like a child. At the master's place, I felt the warmth of my father again.
"Silly boy, what are you crying about?" The master reached out and touched my head to comfort me.
"Master, I promise you that you will protect yourself in the future, and you will never hurt any innocent people." I don't want the master's original intention to become a killing method, and I don't want to disappoint the master.
"There are many poison uses and antidotes recorded in this book, you can go back and take a look." The master handed me the book.
"Thank you, master, I will definitely watch and learn with my heart." I looked at the master with a determined look in my eyes.
"Go ahead, go back and think about it." The master waved his hand and motioned for me to go back.
I went back to my room with my master's book, sat down at my desk and opened the book, which contained many things that I had never seen or heard, and it took me three days to memorize the usage, pharmaceutical and antidote methods in the book.
Although I have a master and a brother to protect me, I still want to see if I can make it myself, just in case I need it.
"Miss, what is this?" Nian Nian looked at me holding all kinds of medicine and pondering, asked me curiously, and reached out to touch it.
"Stop!" I immediately pulled the herbs to my side.
"It's poison." I looked at her in horror, she would dare to touch anything.
Hearing what I said, Nian Nian's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately withdrew his hand and hid it behind him.
"Miss, what are you doing with all this poison?" Puzzled asked.
"This is what the master taught me to use for self-defense, if you want to see it, eat this." I gestured to the small bottle on the table.
"......" Niannian looked at the bottle, a little afraid to do so.
"This is the antidote." I said helplessly.
"Oh!" Hearing me say that it was an antidote, Nian Nian immediately picked it up and poured one and ate it.
"The master gave me this book, which records a lot of poisons, I plan to make one first, the toxicity is not strong, it will only make people itchy and unbearable, I added a lily, there is a faint lily fragrance, it is not easy for people to find, I plan to call it lily powder." I said as I carefully put the poison into the bottle.
"Then why aren't you afraid?" Nian Nian asked me cautiously.
"You stupid! I must have made the antidote before making the poison, otherwise we would both have to go and ask the master to save us now. I looked at this silly girl helplessly.
"Oh, okay." Nian Nian was a little angry with himself.
"Let's go, call Senior Brother and let's go to the town to buy delicious food." In the past few days, I have been endorsing day and night, and I am almost suffocating.
"Yes, yes! I'm bored to death if you read all day! Nian Nian suddenly became interested.
Yunmeng Town
"Niannian, senior brother, look!"
"This ......"
"And this ......" There was an old man who drew candy figures on the side of the street, and the painting was so similar that I was excited like a child.
"Wow! Miss, what a painting! It's so delicious to look at! Nian Nian looked greedy, and her saliva was about to come out.
"Boss, let's get three!" Seeing Nian Nian's greedy face, I had to buy three, in fact, I like it very much, haha......
"Okay! What animals do you want! The boss asked with a grin.
"Rabbit, rooster, pony......" the three of us said.
"Mine, yours, brother's." After a while, the boss made a candy man, and we took the genus we chose and began to eat.
"Tastes good! Next time we'll come here to buy it! Nian Nian turned to look at me, and the corners of his mouth were pale yellow sugar stains.
"Hahaha......" I smiled and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Be careful that no one wants you in the future." I deliberately teased her.
"You don't have anyone to want!" Let's have a joke.
"Hungry! Let's go to the stall in front to eat a bowl of noodles and stop by the way. "Senior brother saw us running around and proposed.
"Okay!" Nian Nian and I responded in unison, looking at each other and smiling.
"Boss, let's have three bowls of noodles!"
"Okay! Wait a minute! ”
The owner's noodle stall is not big, but there are still a lot of people, and it looks like it tastes good, otherwise there would not be so many customers.
"Come on! Guest officer, your noodles, eat and drink well. "The owner happily brought the noodles to our table.
"Wow! Yes yes! "I'll just say, with so many guests, it must taste good.
"Mmmmmmmm......mmmm
"Huh! You haven't paid yet, guest officer! The boss shouted and chased after him. All the guests looked up to see what was going on.
"Get out! Lao Tzu has never given money for dinner! Several of the guests stopped, one of them stout, with his upper body exposed, and a scar on his chest like a strange-shaped worm. The fierce-looking man pushed the shopkeeper to the owner.
"I have a small business, and my family depends on me to support them! Big brother is gracious! The shopkeeper was lying on the ground and begging them for money.
"Didn't you hear my eldest brother say! We never paid for our meals. ”
"That's it, hahaha......" The big men laughed and planned to leave.
"What are you doing? How can there be a reason not to pay for food! I couldn't stand it, so I rushed up and pulled up the boss.
"Miss......" Nian Nian called me anxiously.
"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in your business!" The big man looked at me with a fierce face.
"Don't dare, don't dare, you take this money, I'll give you your money, let the boss go!" I instantly became cowardly, and handed over a silver ingot with a flattering face.
"That's pretty much it!" The big man shook the silver in his hand and walked away satisfied.
"Big brother, this chick is not a fool!"
"Whatever! Hahaha......"
"Girl, you ......" The boss saw that I was so afraid of them, and gave them the silver, shaking his head. Thinking about it, this side should be fed to a few wild dogs.
"It's okay, boss, I'll give them their face money, and the bad guys won't be rewarded." With that, I sat back in my seat.
"Senior sister, what are you doing here?" Senior Brother and Nian Nian looked at me strangely, not understanding why I was giving them the silver.
"You guys look at it, there's going to be a good show right away." In fact, after I went to pick up the boss, I quietly sprinkled the lilies on the silver in my sleeve, just in time to test the medicinal properties.
"Itchy, itchy......" After a few steps, the big man was full of itching and unbearable, like thousands of ants gnawing, his whole body was red from fingers, lying on the ground and turning over and over, calling loudly.
"Quick, take the boss to the doctor!" It took a lot of effort for several of his men to drag the stout man up and run in the direction of the pharmacy.
"Hahaha......"
"Deserved ......"
"I really deserve it......" The guests clapped their hands.
"Hahaha...... Miss, you did the right thing! Nian Nian laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and she lay on the table and pointed at me, she had seen me make this medicine.
"Naughty! Let's go, he'll find out later that you won't be able to eat and walk around! "Senior brother put silver on the table, pulled me and Nian Nian and ran away.
"Stop! Brother, I can't run......" I gasped and stopped.
Hahaha...... "The three of us, you look at me, I'll see you look up and laugh."
"Where did you learn this?" Senior brother asked me curiously.
"The master gave it, and she said let me learn it and use it for self-defense." I looked at my brother.
"Master Ke is really eccentric, what's the matter, don't I need to defend myself?" The senior brother was a little angry, and the master had never taught him.
"The master thinks you're a boy, the big husband stands up to the sky, why do you want to learn this!" I deliberately said it to my brother.
"Humph!" The senior brother turned his head pretending to be angry.
"Don't tell the master when you go back!" I looked at my brother vigilantly, Nian Nian was standing with me, I knew.
"Then I'll see what conditions you get in exchange for me." The senior brother smiled wickedly.
"Go back and I'll teach you how to do it, okay!" I looked at my brother.
"No! With such a little carving insect skill, you want to buy me? "He's not so easy to deceive.
"Then I'll secretly show you this book, so that you can learn the content of it!" I also pretended to be angry, I knew that my brother was most afraid of me.
"Okay, okay, tease you, I won't say it." When my brother saw that I was angry, he didn't dare to joke anymore.
"Poof......" Seeing that my senior brother thought I was angry, I suddenly couldn't hold back my laughter!
"You tease me......" Senior brother stretched out his hand to hit me, and I ran out in fright.
"Miss wait for me ......"
"I don't dare......"
In this way, the three of us made a noisy journey home, back to the home that belonged to us.
Maybe this kind of relationship is the same as family affection, although we are not related by blood, but we all cherish each other, take care of each other, every day together, mine is full and happy!
