When it came to business, Ah Xiu's brows fell slightly.

A pair of eyes, a little embarrassed, secretly looked at Lin Mengya.

"What's wrong? Or do you find this difficult? It's okay, anyway, I know that this matter is not urgent, if you feel embarrassed, let's talk about it later. ”

Lin Mengya said understandingly, but Ah Xiu shook her head desperately, as if she was afraid that Lin Mengya would misunderstand what she meant.

"No, actually, I just heard my uncle talk about it unintentionally. The poppy, although it is a harmful thing in your eyes, is also a good medicine that can save people on our side. I hope you don't hate us. ”

Watching Ah Xiu finish speaking cautiously, Lin Mengya was a little dumbfounded.

Although she is a modern medical graduate student, after arriving here, she has studied under the supreme poison master Bai Li Rui.

Speaking of which, the poison she handled was more toxic than the poppy, but there were quite a few.

Presumably because Ah Xiu heard some rumors outside, he felt that he would hate her because of the poppy.

is really a simple-minded girl, but it makes her feel commendable.

"You're right, poppy is originally infallible, and if used well, it can also have an analgesic and antidiarrheal effect. But for some people, if they are used to harm people, the poppy will become poison. In fact, the most terrifying thing is not the poppy itself, but the human heart, right? ”

Lin Mengya's soft words, in an instant, made Ah Xiu feel like she had met a bosom friend.

nodded busily and took Lin Mengya's hand, which opened the conversation.

"My sister is right, in our hometown, the poppy is just a medicinal herb. But when I began to travel around the caravan with my uncle, there were many people who insulted me and my uncle. I was very angry and thought that we were just strangers, so why did we speak so badly to us. But then I learned that many of them had lost their families because of the poppy. Although opium poppy is produced in all countries, only we, the Lieyun country, can be sold legally. That's why they hate us. It's just, Sister County Lord, are we really wrong? ”

Ah Xiu's words exhausted her grievances and confusion.

Lin Mengya was also slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Indeed, just like Ah Xiu said, it is good for poppies or all kinds of poisons. They weren't born to harm people.

It's just that later people discovered their medicinal properties, so there will be all kinds of rights and wrongs coming out.

Touching Ah Xiu's hair, Lin Mengya could only use her own understanding to try to get rid of the doubts in Ah Xiu's heart.

"The most terrible thing in this world is not poison, but the human heart. However, a person has a person's idea. We can't influence other people's thoughts, the only thing we can do is to try our best to have a clear conscience. ”

Ah Xiu looked at Lin Mengya as if she didn't understand, and finally, nodded lightly.

Although she didn't quite understand what the county lord's sister meant, what the county lord's sister said was always right.

In my heart, I will no longer be so unhappy.

pulled Lin Mengya and talked about what she had seen and heard in the Kingdom of Heaven in the past few days.

"By the way, Sister County Lord, I was on the street a few days ago and saw that Su Mei. However, I saw that her face was not very good, as if she had been injured in some way, and she was a little pale. ”

Ah Xiu said it casually, but it attracted Lin Mengya's attention.

Wounded? Probably not, right?

Su Mei, isn't she already reunited with her sister. Since those people are the backers behind her, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be embarrassed.

"Could you be mistaken? Are you sure it's her? ”

Ah Xiu's eyes widened, and she tried hard to recall her memory. Finally, I said in the affirmative:

"You can't be wrong, it has to be her. I'm not sure if she's hurt. On time, I had some bloodthirsty poisonous insects on me, and when I saw her, there was some commotion. Although it is said that the geranium on the woman's body is also a kind of blood, my poisonous insect will definitely not be restless because of this. So I think she must have been hurt in some way. Moreover, I saw that she was pale, and she should have suffered a very serious external injury. But the strange thing is that her actions have not been affected in any way. You say, is it strange? ”

Ah Xiu is astute, so he looks carefully.

At this moment, it was Lin Mengya who fell into deep thought.

Although Su Mei is not the head of that group, at least, she should be regarded as their own family.

Now, she has a good past, but she has suffered a lot of trauma. And it doesn't affect the action in the slightest.

This is a little strange.

"Are you sure it's the smell of blood that makes your poisonous insects restless?"

Ah Xiu had at least thirty highly poisonous insects and poisons on him.

Of course, she naturally has her own way to prevent herself from being victimized.

Among them, there are three or five kinds of insects, which are extremely fond of eating fresh blood.

Therefore, since Ah Xiu said that the poisonous insect was sensitized, it should be true.

"Well, I'm sure. Later, it was I who fed a few drops of blood to calm these little guys down. ”

Ah Xiu's words, Lin Mengya did not doubt it at all.

After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya felt that this might be an important clue.

"Let's ask someone about this. I always feel that this Sumei is not simple. ”

Fortunately, Long Tianyu and the others were all in the reception room.

After a few words, Ah Xiu told the other two people what he had seen and heard.

Suddenly, the four of them fell silent.

"I wondered, could it be that Sumei wasn't hurt at all? Is the blood on her body someone else's? ”

Lin Mengya rubbed her forehead and said faintly.

This answer is the one that they have speculated to be the most in line with the situation.

Long Tianyu looked at Lin Mengya, nodded slightly, and then said:

"It's possible, but, according to Ah Xiu, the blood must be fresh in order to cause the restlessness of poisonous insects. If it's just a few dots, I'm afraid I can't even sense the poisonous insects. Ah Xiu, have you ever smelled any strong smell of blood on her? ”

Ah Xiu thought for a moment, then shook his head gently.

She is also sensitive to the smell of blood, although she is not as sensitive as Lin Mengya's nose, but at worst, her sense of smell is stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, when the blood is thick to a certain concentration, the smell of fishy smell cannot be concealed.

This, it seems, is unreasonable again.

I had a little clue just now, but now, it's broken again.

The four of them all turned their brains, Lin Mengya sat there, inadvertently, but saw the window, the bronze mirror used for decoration.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed.

"Ah Xiu, when you saw Su Mei, was her skin white, but her mental state was not very good?"

Grabbed by Lin Mengya's hand and suddenly asked, Ah Xiu also thought about it carefully before answering in surprise.

"That's right, that's it! I still remember that day, she wore a blood-red robe. Moreover, her face is so white that she doesn't look like a normal person! ”

Perhaps, it will be as she guessed.

"Cousin, what exactly did you come up with?"

Seeing Lin Mengya's face sank, Zuo Qiu Yu couldn't help but ask.

But Lin Mengya's face was a little strange. Some are unbearable, and more are disgusting.

"If I'm not mistaken. They didn't just catch those girls for training and trafficking. More, it may have other cruel uses. For example, the blood of a girl is used to maintain the beauty of a woman. ”

As soon as these words were said, not only Ah Xiu, but even Zuo Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu felt a chill above their heads.

"No... No way. Besides, using human blood to maintain eternal youth should be, it is just a delusion. ”

Zuo Qiu Yu said in a somewhat empty tone, this kind of evil and crooked thing, they have only heard of it in the story.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya guessed like this.

"The efficacy of human blood is not as simple as it seems. As Ah Xiu said, if the blood of these girls used to bathe is all produced by the bodies of girls who eat good medicinal herbs all year round. Well, most likely, most of the fishy smell will be suppressed. However, the poisonous insects on Ah Xiu's body are not bothered by these smells. That's why it's restless. ”

There is a deeper point, after the digestion and transformation of the human body, it is very likely that the medicinal materials will be more delicate and effective than simply taking them.

In modern times, I heard that some people use Chinese medicinal materials to feed chickens and pigs, and the same is true.

Only now, it's replaced by people. But it makes people shudder.

"Su Mei is just a pawn. There's no need, it's necessary to sacrifice so much, right? ”

Although Zuo Qiu Yu felt that this method was outrageously terrifying.

But he still felt that Su Mei, a pawn like Su Mei, would not have such treatment at all.

"Don't forget, what Su Mei wants to be the most is Long Tianyu's woman. Moreover, she prides herself on her beauty. After being with us for so long, I dare say that the next time we meet, she will definitely surprise us. And, if she is using, test it, this method, is it useful? ”

Lin Mengya's eyes were scorching, but it made people inexplicably feel that her guess was not far from ten.

This method has been proven before.

She also remembered that there was once a noblewoman named Bloody Mary, who used the blood of a maiden to wash her old age.

I heard that when the man was fifty or sixty years old, he was as beautiful as a girl.

Although in the story, there will definitely be an element of apocryphal composition. However, since ancient times, such bloody and strange things have definitely happened.

If so, I'm afraid that the people behind Su Mei must be planning a bigger conspiracy.

What is it, exactly?
