Chapter 569: The Test of the Old Poison
Shi Wuyue chuckled, picked up a dead branch on the ground, dipped some mucus on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
This is the juice of black konjac, which is more toxic than ordinary konjac. Once this juice hits the skin, it can be unbearably itchy.
Probably this is a prank by the old poison.
Seeing this, Shi Wuyue chuckled, and saw that there was water in the small pool not far away, so he dodged the poison at the water's edge, scooped up some water, cleaned up the rattan mat simply, and wiped it clean with banana leaves.
After doing all this, Shi Wuyue finally had a place to rest, so he lay down on the rattan mat and wandered. Shi Wuyue didn't dare to sleep, presumably Qing Ran was still sick at this time, and he was very worried.
Shi Wuyue opened his eyes like this and said that it was dawn, and he heard the footsteps coming from the poison doctor's room, and he knew that the poison doctor had woken up.
Sure enough, not long after, Shi Wuyue heard the door creak open. The old poison came out with a sieve filled with dried poisonous flowers, and was a little surprised to see Shi Wuyue sitting on the rattan mat and smiling at him.
"Yo, young man, you're still alive!" The old poison doctor quipped.
is obviously full of silver hair and white beard, but he is in good spirits, and he speaks with a bit of unruly momentum. It is such a person who will be disgusted with the world and escape from this inaccessible place.
"Thanks to your old man, your old poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds did not poison me." Shi Wuyue said.
The poison doctor glanced at the rattan chair under Shi Wuyue again, and saw that Shi Wuyue was not itchy all over, so he was a little unhappy. It has been so many years since I made such a stumbling block, but I didn't expect that person to be fooled.
"Do you always wonder why last night's black konjac didn't make me feel itchy?" Shi Wuyue said, smiled and raised his hand again, shaking it towards the old poison doctor. His hands had already been bandaged with the fabric on his body.
"Last night I was unprepared at first, so I touched it with my hand, and because the itch was unbearable, I cut off all the flesh in the itchy area." Shi Wuyue looked at the poison doctor with a light smile: "Old man, you are so scheming." ”
"You little brat, you're still a sycophant." The old poison doctor listened to Shi Wuyue's words, and his expression was much more relaxed: "I failed to poison you, it's because I don't have the ability, you don't have to pretend to be good." ”
"Sir, you know why I came to see you. If you don't have the ability, is there anyone in this world who doesn't have the ability? ”
The sycophant seemed to be very useful, and the old poison doctor put the dried flower sieve on the stone table beside him: "Are you eating?" ”
Since he came out of Shijia Villa yesterday, Shi Wuyue has not eaten for a long time; Besides, how dare he disobey the old poison doctor's request. So Shi Wuyue nodded.
"Come in." The old poison doctor said again.
Shi Wuyue followed the old poison doctor into the house, and saw a pair of dishes and chopsticks, a plate of pickles, and a wooden plate with a few steamed buns on the table in the room. The old poison doctor turned around again, scooped a bowl of white porridge from the pot, and put it in front of Shi Wuyue's eyes: "Eat." ”
"You sons and brothers, you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, if you dislike it, you can not eat it." The old poison doctor said, sat down himself, picked up a steamed bun and nibbled on it, and then drank a mouthful of gruel.
"How can you not accept the kindness of the old gentleman?" Shi Wuyue said, picking up the porridge: "Besides, coarse tea and light rice are the most nourishing, but others don't understand." However, he was slow to speak.
After a while, he also picked up a steamed bun and took a bite before taking a bite of porridge.
The porridge was poisoned by this old urchin, and there was an antidote in the steamed bun. Shi Wuyue ate breakfast with trepidation, and he didn't dare to be careless about the old poison doctor in his heart.
But no matter how weak his medical knowledge is, I am afraid that he doesn't know how he was killed by the old poison doctor today.
"Is it delicious?" The old poison doctor asked.
"It's delicious." Shi Wuyue replied unceremoniously: "Xiaosheng has come all the way, and he is already hungry, so he has to eat a few more bowls." ”
"Although this porridge has an antidote, eating too much is enough for you to feel uncomfortable. I'm fine, I've tried all kinds of poisons for so many years, and I've long been poison-free. But you, with fine skin and tender meat, tsk! Will it work?! The old poison doctor said, shaking his head at Shi Wuyue.
"Yes, sir, so can I." So, Shi Wuyue said, and took another sip of porridge.
"You like her so much and care about her, she must not have you in her heart, right?" The old poison doctor asked again. Hearing the old poison doctor's words, Shi Wuyue raised his head, froze and glanced at the poison doctor a few times, then lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of gruel.
"I'm right." Seeing Shi Wuyue's expression, the old poison doctor clasped his hands together and clapped his hands gloatingly: "I think you are so stupid, if she doesn't love you, you will let her die, why bother to practice yourself like this?!" ”
After a long time, Shi Wuyue swallowed all the things in his mouth and said, "A long time ago, I think she also loved me. Only later, I came too late. ”
"It's my fault."
"Fool!" The old poison doctor looked at Shi Wuyue again and sneered: "Is it worth it for a woman who doesn't have you in her heart?" ”
"There is no worthiness or not, only willingness." Shi Wuyue said: "For her, let me risk my life." ”
"She's all over the country?"
Shi Wuyue shook his head.
"She's in a high position?"
Shi Wuyue shook his head.
"She's got a lot of troubles?"
Shi Wuyue still shook his head. After a long time, the old poison doctor let out a breath of turbidity: "You stupid boys, when you were young, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for one person. As everyone knows, maybe it is because you are so good that she feels indebted to you, so she can't bear to refuse, and she is unhappy. ”
"Have you ever asked her what she wants? Does she want you to be like this, risking your own life for her? ”
Shi Wuyue raised his head again, glanced at the old poison, and after a long time, he said lightly: "As long as she is well, I can do anything." ”
"I know it's not me anymore. But if I could save her, I'd rather she didn't know that I was the one who saved her. Shi Wuyue said lightly, and seemed to have an idea in his heart.
"Fool!" The old poison doctor looked at Shi Wuyue, but still shook his head helplessly. It's just that he looked at Shi Wuyue with a little more distress in his eyes, as if he saw another person through Shi Wuyue-the self he used to be.
Shi Wuyue didn't answer, because he didn't know that this was the first time the old poison doctor had scolded him for being a fool today. He only pretended not to see the eyes of the old poison doctor, picked up the pickles in front of him, and was about to roll them into the gruel.
"Don't eat it." When the old poison doctor saw it, he snatched the pickle plate in Shi Wuyue's hand: "This is poisonous." ”
