Chapter 369: Suspected of Poison
The old crow ghost is definitely not a good person, maybe he gave the poison in the first place.
As for that Mr. Xiao, Qin Muyao guessed that it might be the latter two medicines he ordered.
His original intention should have been to save these villagers, but his strength was not as good as that of the old ghost, so he caused the current situation.
It's just that Qin Muyao can't understand one thing, why did these two people come to this Xiaopo village, and why did the old crow ghost poison the villagers?
Just as Qin Muyao was pondering, she suddenly felt that the hem of her clothes was being pulled.
Qin Muyao's heart was shocked, and she subconsciously became vigilant.
I don't know what's going on lately, but her vigilance seems to have dropped a lot, and she didn't even notice that someone was approaching.
When I turned around, I saw a little boy of eight or nine years old pulling the hem of her clothes, and his emaciated face looked very pitiful.
"Brother, give you a drink!" the little boy handed her a large bowl in his hand.
There is still water in this bowl, which looks quite clear, but there are still those unclean things in it.
Looking at the little boy's clear big eyes and his emaciated face, Qin Muyao's heart softened.
She squatted down and gently rubbed his head, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty." ”
Seeing such a soft and cute little boy appear in front of him with a haggard face, Qin Muyao suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
In fact...... She can help this little one. She has heavenly holy water, and she only needs a drop...... No, half a drop, just half a drop and that's it!
She looked at the bowl in the boy's hand......
She always had a cold face, and just now she suddenly frowned, thinking that this child was frightened.
Qin Muyao pursed her lips and gently pinched his face: "Brother is fine, let's go back first!"
The child's heart is like this, Qin Muyao smiled lightly, he naturally didn't take the worry just now to heart.
Qin Muyao held the bowl for him, and the two held hands and walked slowly towards the village.
Along the way, she chatted with the little boy and found out that the well was the only one in their Xiaopo village.
Back where they had been separated from the other two, they were already waiting.
Seeing that she also brought a child back, both of them were a little stunned: "Where did this child come from?"
Isn't everyone waiting inside at this time?
Qin Muyao's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "This kid is from the village, and I met him by the well at the entrance of the village just now. ”
The two didn't say anything, and just walked back.
Qin Muyao walked behind the two of them, silently glanced at the bowl in her hand, and seemed to hesitate to speak: "Anorexia is not an infectious disease, how can it be contracted in every village?"
One of the people in front of her suddenly turned his head to look at her: "What were you talking about? Did you find something?"
"No, no, no!" Qin Muyao shook her head, "I'm just very confused, anorexia is not like an infectious disease, the whole village has the same strange disease, but it is a bit like poisoning......"
She muttered the last sentence, as if it was casually mentioned, but the other two could hear it clearly.
The two looked at each other without a trace, but neither spoke, as if they did not take her words to heart.
Qin Muyao lowered her eyes, and didn't seem to notice the eye contact between the two of them.
Maybe it's such a coincidence, these two people are fellow villagers from a place, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, so the three of them walk together as if Qin Muyao and the other are outsiders.
The three of them walked silently for a while, and one of them spoke: "I looked around just now, did you find anything?"
Qin Muyao shook her head: "I went to the entrance of the village and met this child, and I didn't find anything else." ”
Hearing this, the man didn't ask any more questions.
The other person opened his mouth and pointed to her holding the big bowl: "What is this on your hand?"
"This?" Qin Muyao explained, "It was this kid who sent me to quench my thirst and drink, that is, the water in the well at the entrance of their village, and this kid said that there was only this well in the whole village." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two people lit up instantly. But neither of them moved, and did not ask anything more.
After walking for a while, the two finally opened their mouths again: "Bring the bowl and we will hold it for you, you just take the child well." ”
Qin Muyao pretended not to see the hint in the eyes between the two of them, handed the bowl to the two of them very cooperatively, and bent down to pick up the little boy who had some difficulty walking.
Soon, the three of them will be at the place where they had just eaten, and everyone is waiting for their answer.
Qin Muyao was still the one who walked at the back, but her action of walking in with the child in her arms made many people look over.
The man who thought he was the leader looked at them with an arrogant look and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Muyao didn't speak, and the other two naturally preemptively helped him speak: "We didn't find anything, we just felt that the strange disease in this Xiaopo Village didn't look like an infectious disease, so we suspected that someone had poisoned it." ”
Another person also hurriedly spoke: "We went to check just now, and there is a well used in the entire Xiaopo Village, but we don't know about it, so we brought a little water back to have a look." ”
The man just now hurriedly added: "This is just our guess, and I don't know if it's right or not." ”
The two were clever enough not to say anything to death, and they were always referring to "us" instead of just the two of them, so she couldn't say anything.
But I'm afraid that everyone present will feel that this matter was discovered by these two people and has nothing to do with her.
Qin Muyao didn't have the intention of competing with them for credit, otherwise she wouldn't have said those words on the road.
Seeing that he didn't mean anything to stand up and say anything, the two of them subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing their words, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Poisoning, how is this possible!"
"That's right, our Xiaopo Village has never had such a deep hatred for anyone. ”
"Could this be wrong? We have never had any enemies in our village!"
“......”
While everyone was talking about it, the person in charge of the temple stood up again: "Don't worry, everyone, our temple will definitely find out about this matter!"
"Thank you, Holy Envoy!"
"Thank you, Holy Envoy!"
The villagers knelt on the ground again and kowtowed in thanks.
Qin Muyao still didn't have any expression on her face, but a trace of disdain quickly flashed in her eyes.
Surrounded by everyone, the person in charge of another temple walked towards the well with a group of people, and Qin Muyao was still walking at the back of the crowd.
Just a few steps away, a woman suddenly came out of the side: "Little cow, come down quickly, how can you let the Holy Envoy hold you!"
There was obvious nervousness on her face, and she wanted to step forward but didn't dare to do so.
Eight or nine-year-old children are not small, but Qin Muyao has been hugging her for so long, but she doesn't feel tired at all.
She put the child on the ground, and as soon as the little boy hit the ground, he hurriedly ran to the woman: "Mother......"
The woman held the child tightly in her arms, looking at Qin Muyao's gaze a little nervous: "Holy envoy, don't be surprised, the child is young and collides with you, don't take it to heart!"
Qin Muyao looked at her, and then at the little boy: "He is very well-behaved." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, but she heard Qin Muyao continue: "I'm not a holy envoy, the people sent by the temple to help you haven't arrived yet, we just arrived in advance to help." ”
The woman was visibly stunned, as if she did not quite understand what she meant. But Qin Muyao didn't mean to explain, so she raised her feet and left directly.
When Qin Muyao arrived, a group of people were surrounding the well, almost enclosing the well.
Qin Muyao didn't go up to join in the fun, but stood under the locust tree and waited.
Along the way, although he doesn't know all about these people, he knows a rough idea.
Some of them have a little medical skills, but they are only scratching the surface, and it is probably impossible to check whether there is poison in this well.
Sure enough, a group of people studied there for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason.
However, there is a person with a water attribute, whose strength is at the peak of the ninth level of the Yellow Order, which is not low, and he can feel that there is something different in the water, but he can't tell what the difference is.
But this alone is enough to prove the statement of the two people just now that there may be a problem with the water.
Qin Muyao didn't care what they had studied, but suddenly remembered another thing.
Just now they were eating the food prepared by the villagers of this Xiaopo village, and this well is the only well in the village, and the water ......
Qin Muyao looked at the group of people not far away, and couldn't help but twitch.
These people ...... I'm afraid no one has thought of it yet.
Just as Qin Muyao was looking at those people, there was also a person in the crowd looking at her.
At that moment, the two looked at each other, and the other suddenly nodded gently at her.
Qin Muyao was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be always greeting her along the way.
It seemed that every time she looked at the team without a trace, the person would often look at her, and then smile and nod his head, and greet him very kindly.
This person has never spoken to her, and she naturally will not be the kind of person who takes the initiative to talk to her.
The other party obviously had no hostility towards him, so Qin Muyao didn't take any action.
After an unknown amount of time, the temple leader finally gave up.
"Guys, I'm afraid this is a bit tricky. His expression was a little serious, which made those villagers who didn't understand anything subconsciously, and their hearts were raised to their throats.
"But don't worry!" Seeing that the pause was almost over, he spoke again, "We are just here to find out the news first, the real personnel to be sent by the temple have not yet arrived, and all the problems can be solved by then!"
As soon as these words came out, they gave the villagers infinite hope.
In the days that followed, they lived in Xiaopo Village, and the well was also sealed by the villagers, but it was ......
Without anyone, eating naturally became a problem, but fortunately, these people brought their own dry food, and they would not starve with the people of Xiaopo Village.
Everyone else is idle, loved by the villagers of this Xiaopo village, Qin Muyao is okay but wandering around the village.
She has been asking about "Mr. Xiao" from many people, and finally came up with a portrait of him.
I have to say that this Mr. Xiao has a kind face, especially when he laughs, people can't help but want to get closer.
She asked Xiaohuo to take the portrait to the person in Zhushenlou to check the details of this person.
After two days of waiting, the people of the temple finally came. Not only the villagers of Xiaopo Village breathed a sigh of relief, but even those of them who came also breathed a sigh of relief.
