Chapter 34: The Fire in the Middle of the Night
"Why?" Pei Chenzhou said in surprise, and Wu also looked puzzled.
Qin Rong analyzed, "The problem lies in the soil under the bed of my aunt, there is a natural poison hidden in it, which will continuously affect people's bodies, and over time, the bone marrow and blood, and the internal organs will be hit hard." β
"What kind of poison is that, I'm going to dig it up and throw it away." Pei Chenzhou said angrily that in the past three years, the money he got from hunting and doing coolies has been spent on hiring doctors and buying medicine, but it has not improved, and it turns out that he has not solved the fundamentals.
"You can't dig it, buried in the soil has such a big impact on people, digging it out and people come into contact with it, and it is possible to affect their lives."
Moreover, this natural radiation is generally hidden in the rock layer under the soil layer, and it takes a lot of effort to dig it out, and it is not pleasing to dig it up.
Then there is only one way to move, Pei Chenzhou thought for a while, and said, "Mother, this time I have been picking stones, in addition to the medical expenses, I have also saved one or two halves of silver to build a simple thatched house, which is enough." β
Wu was silent for a moment, and said with tears in his eyes, "Zhou Lingzi, my mother looks like this, even if she survives, it doesn't mean anything, you, you still save money to marry a daughter-in-law, it's useless to be a mother, it can't help you, and it drags you down." β
Her body, even if she is far away from poisons, still has to take medicine every day, and she doesn't know when the toxins in her body will be cleared.
"Mother, where is this, without my mother, what hope do I have for my life, the reason why I work so hard every day is to cure my mother and let my mother live a good life." Pei Chenzhou said resolutely.
Wu's face was full of relief, this son was not raised in vain, but it was a pity that she couldn't give him anything.
"Zhou Yanzi, I have already said what I should say, you know how to do it, I will go back." Qin Rong got up, in modern times, she was also interested in natural science, and she watched a lot of popular science videos to understand these, otherwise, on the day she died, not only the Wu family, but even those doctors with good medical skills would not know what the problem was.
Pei Chenzhou sent her to the door, with gratitude on his handsome face, "Rong girl, thank you." β
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Qin Rong said, suddenly thought of something, "That's right, those Houttuynia cordata in the field have a certain effect on detoxification, you go to find it mixed with soy sauce, garlic, chili oil, salt, pepper oil, sugar, vinegar seasoning, eat every meal, you have to eat it too, live here for a long time, those natural poisons, how much has an impact on your body." β
"Hmm." Pei Chenzhou wrote it down, even if Houttuynia cordata is unpalatable, he has to eat it, only by taking care of his body can he be able to provide backing for the Wu family.
He didn't expect that after this time, Houttuynia cordata, which he never wanted to look at before, would become his favorite ingredient.
"As for other medicinal materials for detoxification, just find a doctor, of course, you have to be more skilled in medicine, you can't be careless, my aunt's health is not good, and I will eat more meat to make up for it in the future." Qin Rong said again.
Pei Chenzhou can go up to the mountains to hunt and go down to the river to fish, these are not a problem for him, but he has to squeeze time, but he is willing to do anything for the sake of his mother.
Seeing Qin Rong leave, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in Pei Chenzhou's eyes.
This girl is real, smart.
At this time, the old Qin family had already exploded.
When I came back to eat at noon, in order not to affect the mood of the men, Feng and the daughters-in-law did not talk about the incident of the previous day, and in the evening, after eating, everyone was free, and Zheng said the matter, which immediately aroused the public anger of the men, and the women tacitly saved the matter of getting back one or two silver, and also made an extra half of the money.
The men were like angry bulls, their fists clenched loudly.
In order to drive away the terrible evil luck on the broom star, he invited the master with silver, but before the law was finished, it was interrupted because of the obstruction of the dead girl, and a tael of silver was wasted.
"Dad, it's time to take some action, that dead girl, ride on our heads now, and you will have it later? I think she just wants to make the old Qin family unhappy, and she is willing to destroy the old Qin family. Li Zheng Qin Wuhua said.
"Dead, I don't want to live anymore, I'm going to clean her up." Qin Wushi scolded, and was about to get up and walk out of the door.
"Fourth, be quiet, this girl is not easy to clean up now, I think your daughter-in-law is right." Old Qin's face was solemn, and he knocked the dry tobacco stick on the table leg.
Chen was a little uncomfortable, "Dad, if you want to talk about such a thing as killing people and setting fires, it is best for men to come, I am a woman, where can I do it?" β
She also looks forward to the death of that mourning star, but there are so many people who are jealous of her and hate her, if she lets people catch the handle, they will be afraid in the future.
"Can't do it? I see that the fourth brother and sister are usually very majestic and not afraid of anything, this kind of thing is not as simple as killing a chicken in your eyes. Zheng said with a look of disdain.
Zhou also said, "Yes, fourth brother and sister, you are the mother of the dead girl, no one will suspect you, this tone of our old Qin family can only be made by you, otherwise the chickens and dogs will jump, and everyone's life will not be easy." β
Chen was so angry that he almost said that he had earned half a tael of silver, but when he received a warning look from Feng, he swallowed what he wanted to say mixed with a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"I won't do it anyway, you can do it yourself, if there is anything you need to help, I can help." Hate said hate.
A big family, not only her, but also a few big men, other daughters-in-law, including Feng, are also thicker than her, why should she be allowed to do that kind of hurtful thing, she takes the risk alone, they sit back and enjoy it, bah, there is no door.
He added, "Just when I didn't say it." β
Qin Wushi hit him with a big ear scraper, "Who told you to have this batch of mouths that you don't know what to do, and you don't want to do it, don't say it easily, see who refuses, what can you do?" β
He is also angry, why should he be counted on Chen's head, if something goes wrong with Chen's, he will buy another daughter-in-law to use.
"I, I'm just proposing." Chen covered half of his swollen cheeks and said with red eyes.
It seemed that the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he sobbed, "Yes, blame me for this mouth, I don't dare to make up my mind if the old Qin family has anything in the future, don't rely on me, I don't care about the old Qin family." β
Old Qin Tou said unhappily, "Okay, what are you crying about, the most important thing hasn't been solved yet, and the family has started to mess up again, this is to make people see jokes." β
Inside the hall, there was silence all of a sudden.
"Water, I want to drink water, bad woman, where did you die?" In one room, Qin Wu's voice came out.
Zhou pouted, reluctant to stand up, just now she gave this foot a good meal to serve, and now she wants to drink water, why don't you die let her be quiet.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, if it weren't for Qin Rong, she wouldn't have fallen into such a field, and a cold light flashed in Zhou's eyes.
Chen was unwilling, and the others couldn't pack up tickets in front of everyone and say that they were going to kill someone, which was tantamount to planting a bomb for themselves, and tonight's discussion broke up unhappily, and everyone went back to the room with a heavy heart.
"Iniquity." After Feng Shi washed Lao Qin's head and feet, he sat on the side of the dirty wooden bed and turned her Buddha beads, "A big family, no one really thinks about Lao Qin's family, only cares about the chewing of one mouth, and sells bad things selfishly." β
Old Qin Tou was worried, "Don't mumble, you have been fasting and chanting Buddha for a few years, and it has no effect at all, I don't know how to reflect on yourself?" β
After Bai's death, a fortune teller came, saying that Qin Rong was a broom star of heaven and earth, and if the Qin family was not destroyed, he would not survive, and Feng would have to cross every day, he was originally going to oppose it, once Feng took this road, he would definitely have to do a lot less work in the future, but he felt that these miraculous things would rather be believed than not trusted, so he turned a blind eye, and after a few faces, Qin Rong's nemesis life became more and more vicious.
Feng's face changed slightly, "Old man, what's the use of you blaming me, doesn't this mean that the nemesis of the broom star is too hard, and it needs to be toughened, what is destined to happen, I can only slow down the progress of the attack a little, what should come is still coming, didn't I protect the old Qin family for the past few years?" β
"Hmph, what you say is better than what you sing, when it comes to the end, they are useless one by one, I can't see the day I die, you will scourge the old Qin family to the scum." Old Qin Tou lay down, but he couldn't sleep at all, a pair of cloudy old eyes stared at the top of the broken mosquito net with a black hole.
Feng Shi was still chattering very sadly, "Ouch, I lost four taels of silver before, the third child has to lie down for two months, ninety copper plates a day, two months, that's five taels of silver, and today I lost one or two pieces of silver, and half of the fourth daughter-in-law's hair can be worth one or two silver miles, the old Qin family can't go on, can't live anymore." β
In fact, there is still half a month to pick up enough stones at the construction site, at most a tael of silver.
In order not to affect tomorrow, the men have to force themselves to sleep if they can't sleep, and the daughters-in-law in several rooms are all open-eyed, and their mood is difficult to calm down, what they are afraid of is to be the sinner, and the hateful thing is why the old Qin family has Qin Rong.
Qin Rong had a dream.
She walked under the scorching sun, her mouth was dry, the sun was so hot, the flowers and trees around her were burning, the world formed a sea of fire, boundless, she ran desperately, trying to break through, but the tongue of fire licked her back, lit her clothes, burned her skin, sizzling, thick smoke lingered around her, her body hurt hotly, her heart was suffocated, a near-death experience surrounded her.
Qin Rong sat up suddenly, her heart was beating rapidly, the scorching feeling had not disappeared, something was crackling in her ears, she took a hard breath, but she inhaled a large puff of smoke, she noticed that something was wrong, and when she opened her eyes, the tumbling flames came into view.
There was a fire, and her entire room had been swept away by the fire, and at the end of the bed, it was also burning.
