Chapter 036: Gu Poison
"Grandmother, I'm Su Wen, are you feeling better?"
Yan Suwen didn't look at the people standing in the room anymore, but fell all his eyes on the old lady Yan who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Mrs. Yan loves her, she knows it.
It was precisely because she knew that the old lady loved her that she couldn't see the old lady suffer this pain. The Yan family is not an ordinary family, even if this person outside wants to poison the old lady, he has to weigh it. In other words, the person who poisoned him must be a member of the Yan family, and a person close to the old lady.
The big family seems to be glamorous, but in fact, the people are dirty, which is also one of the reasons why Yan Suwen is unwilling to stay in the Yan family for a long time.
In addition, the old lady is the backbone of the Yan family, and she has stood in the Yan family for decades, if someone really wants to harm her, she will not choose this time. At this time, it must not be for the old lady, but for her who was sheltered by the old lady.
Yan Su asked that she had a spectrum in her heart, but she had no evidence.
"Did Grandmother eat or use anything before she became ill, or was anyone who came to see her?"
Wangqiu nodded, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the old lady's look.
She first asked Wangqiu to summon Yan Baishu over and asked him to take out the person who was standing in the room. After the room was quiet, he beckoned Yan Suwen to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Listen to grandmother, don't ask, don't pursue."
"Grandmother—"
"Grandmother knew in her heart, grandmother knew why the man had come, and she knew that the purpose of the poison she had placed was not to poison her grandmother to death. I called you over, not to let you worry about your grandmother, nor to ask you to pursue this matter and seek justice for your grandmother, but to tell you that you are safe and healthy, and do your own things in a down-to-earth manner. ”
"Grandmother—"
"Well, stay in Ningxinzhai well, and prepare a dowry for yourself when you are empty. Don't worry, my grandmother has already explained that no one is allowed to spread this matter. Someone wants to hinder my granddaughter's marriage by poisoning me, and my old lady will never ask her to start this wishful thinking. ”
The granddaughter also knows it. Grandmother rest assured that in this family affair with the Gu family, only the granddaughter is willing or not, and there is no room for others to interfere. Yan Su asked and put his hand on Mrs. Yan's wrist: "Let the granddaughter diagnose the grandmother's pulse and see the disease?" ”
"It's as if you can really see a doctor yourself. That's it, whoever told my grandmother to rush here will accompany you to play. Mrs. Yan said, closing her eyes.
Yan Su asked that the old lady was asleep. Because of her weak body, her spirit was much worse than before.
"How? What kind of disease is this ancestor suffering from? Wangqiu whispered on the side: "The eldest lord and the eldest prince have shown it to the old ancestor, saying that judging from the pulse of the old ancestor alone, it doesn't look like he is suffering from an emergency. The ancestors had some old diseases, but they had always taken medicine to control them, and they would never make the disease so serious. Second Miss, you may see what kind of disease the ancestor is suffering from? ”
"It's not like a disease."
"Doesn't it look like a disease?" Wangqiu pondered for a moment: "What kind of poison is that?" ”
"It's not like poisoning."
"It's neither like illness nor poisoning, then the ancestor is ......"
"Grandmother seems to have been hit by Gu."
"What is this Gu?" Wangqiu hadn't heard of it, but seeing Yan Suwen frowning, she knew that the "Gu" in her mouth must not be a good thing.
"This Gu, how can I tell you, it is a kind of witchcraft that can make people sick." Yan Su asked to think of the real Zhong Gu incident he had seen in his previous life.
It was the first time she had followed the captain on a mission, in a small mountain village in Yunnan near the border. In addition to her and the captain, there were three other people who accompanied her, namely the old ghost, the mountain cannon and the vulture.
She was a military medic whose main duty was battlefield ambulance, but that mission did not require war. Not only does it not need to fight, but it is not even equipped with decent weapons and equipment. Until she arrived at the place, she was still wondering why the captain had to apply to the top and let her go. She even suspected that the captain was targeting her, and he had to let her go to the mountains to experience her experience.
Later, she knew, because they were facing a more terrifying Gu technique than a clear knife and a clear gun—a term that seemed to exist only in stories. And what they wanted to arrest was a seasoned Gu refiner hiding in the mountains.
She didn't want to recall the process of arresting the Gu Refiner anymore, and what existed most clearly in her mind was the situation after the old ghost was hit by the snake Gu.
He would vomit strange foam like a snake, followed by vomiting and diarrhea for no apparent reason. Then there is a fishy mouth, not wanting to eat, the skin of the whole body is red, and the ground writhes like a snake.
Occasionally, when he was conscious, the old ghost would beg them to kill him, because he was afraid that he would turn into a monster controlled by Gu. As teammates, they could only watch until the old ghost's life was consumed little by little by the snake Gu in his body.
It was the first time she had been on a mission, the first time she had sent her teammates away, and the first time she felt incompetent, so helpless in the face of her teammates' pain.
After that mission, she locked herself up for a whole year without seeing anyone. Later, she learned how to make Gu, refine Gu, release Gu, and solve Gu, and fully understood what this "Gu" was. But even if she understood, she was not completely sure that she would be able to save the old ghost when it happened all over again.
It is precisely because of this lack of confidence hidden in her heart that she fell into the trap of others when she performed her last mission, and once she was pierced, she arrived here.
Yan Su asked that she could save her grandmother, but it was unknown how long this process would last and whether her grandmother's body could survive. She wanted to save it, she could save it, but she couldn't control the tension that came from the depths of her soul.
Her palms were full of sweat.
"Sister Wangqiu, please fetch two things for me."
"Second Miss, please command."
"Soybeans, and a hard-boiled egg."
Although Wangqiu didn't know what Yan Su wanted to do with these things, she didn't hesitate at all.
"Grandmother, I'm sorry!" Yan Suwen held Mrs. Yan's hand: "My granddaughter will listen to you in the future, and she will listen to you very much, but this time, my granddaughter saved you." ”
"Your temper is very much like your father."
Mrs. Yan didn't know when she woke up again, but she was not in good spirits and her eyes were always closed. Hearing Yan Suwen talking beside him, he shook his head lightly and sighed.
Yan Suwen smiled sadly, she said, "Does grandmother want to repay the debt?" The granddaughter's temper is clearly the most like yours. ”
Old Lady Yan shook her hand and did not speak again.
Wangqiu brought a bag of soybeans over, and Yan Suwen only selected a few of them of the same size, with smooth bean skin and no wormholes in his palm.
"Grandmother, these are a few soybeans, and granddaughter needs you to hold them in her mouth. The granddaughter knew that it was raw beans, which were not tasty, and she could not eat them, and it was not comfortable to hold in her mouth. But can you bear with it? The granddaughter has to verify whether you have really fallen for the Gu. ”
Old Lady Yan nodded lightly.
"Wangqiu!" Yan Suwen gave Wangqiu a look, and at the same time leaned forward and helped the old lady up.
Mrs. Yan took soybeans in her mouth, and after a while, she spit out the soybeans, and the bean skin was swollen and fell off.
Yan Suwen's floating heart sank.
"Second Miss?"
"Grandmother has indeed been hit by Gu."
"The slave knows who it is, and the slave and the maid are looking for her."
"Wangqiu!" Yan Suwen pulled Wangqiu, who was angry and was about to rush out: "You also heard what your grandmother said to me just now." We all know in our hearts who that person is, but none of us have any proof. In this case, it would be useless for the grandmother to speak or for the sister to tie up the man. She wouldn't admit it, let alone take out the antidote to save her grandmother. ”
"That's her grandmother too!" Wangqiu stomped his feet angrily.
"If she really has a grandmother in her heart, she won't give her grandmother a trick." Yan Suwen let go of her hand: "Perhaps, her original idea was not to harm her grandmother. But now, it is a fact that my grandmother is in Gu, and it is also a fact that things are getting bigger. At this time, if she admits it, if she takes out the antidote in front of us, she will have no place in the Yan family. Sister Wangqiu thinks, will she admit it? ”
"I can't help but admit it!"
"I know who it is, keep it in my heart, the days are still long, and there will always be a day when justice will be brought back." Yan Suwen opened the small medicine box and carefully selected them one by one: "Right now, the most important thing is to save my grandmother!" ”
Outside the courtyard, Yan Muyun stood there with the maid Cardamom, her face was as usual, but her heart was like a drum, pounding and dancing.
"Miss, aren't we going in?"
"Didn't you see the man standing all over the yard?"
"It's just that there are a lot of people, so we can't help but go in." Cardamom persuaded in a low voice: "The big guys are here, only the young lady is not there, and the young lady thinks what they will think." ”
"You won't blame me for harming my grandmother like this, right?" Yan Muyun wrung Jinpa hard: "I just gave my grandmother some laxatives, how did she become like this." ”
"You still need to ask about this, it must be that country girl." Cardamom swept Yan Muyun with the corner of her eye: "Those in the countryside must know some unsightly methods." It must be that she wants to please the old lady and invite credit in front of the old lady, so she poisons first, and then pretends to be a good person to come over to detoxify. Miss will have to be on guard in the future. ”
"I'll go in and expose her."
"Miss no!" Cardamom grabbed Yan Muyun, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "Did Miss forget?" Now the old man and the old lady are the most favored country girls, we have no evidence, how can we make people believe that what we say is the truth. If Miss opens her mouth like this, we will be self-defeating, and we will be covered in dirty mud. ”
"So what do you say?"
Yan Muyun was flustered in her heart, and she had no idea at all.
"As it used to be, it is today." Cardamom slowly let go: "Miss came to this Baifutang to visit the old lady's condition. ”
