Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yunnan Poisonous Mushrooms

These shepherd's cabbage, cucumbers, grapes, and so on from the Yuan'er report are all the same.

But when she mentioned a fungus, Wei Shu became vigilant, and maybe the answer was here.

Wei Shu immediately said to Lord Chen, "I wonder if there are any mushrooms left over from the old lady's kitchen in your mansion?" ”

Lord Chen frowned, he has always disliked eating these things, and the dishes he usually eats in the house are given by some ordinary people except for the people who go to the market to buy, and he really doesn't know if there are any leftovers.

So he asked Yuan'er, "Let me ask you, is there any fungus left in the kitchen?" ”

Yuan'er looked hesitant and didn't dare to answer, and then another maid on the side preemptively said, "Back to the master, the fungus was just enough for the old lady to eat two meals, but the slave maid saw that the thing was so good-looking that she left a plant to keep in her room, if the master needs it, the slave and maid can get it now." ”

When Lord Chen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then you hurry up and get it!" ”

"Yes, sir."

The handmaid was commanded to leave in haste.

After a while, he came over with a delicate little potted plant in his hand, and inside it was a colorful mushroom.

Wei Shu looked at the mushroom and then at the old lady Chen who was lying on the bed, and suddenly realized.

Sighed secretly, to say that this old lady is really, she is still learning from Yunnan people to eat poisonous mushrooms when she is old....

Touching the sweat on his forehead, Wei Shu said, "In this way, it makes sense why the old lady saw those ghosts." ”

Hearing this, Lord Chen and Daoist Wuchenzi were both puzzled and looked at her.

"What do you mean by that?"

Wei Shu smiled, "Let me detoxify the old lady first, and I'll talk about this later." ”

Chen Xianling also nodded hurriedly, "Ao, yes, yes, please also ask Miss Wei to treat the official's mother first." ”

Then Wei Shu asked for a silver needle and a bowl of salt water, and first used the sterilized silver needle to pierce the old lady's ten fingers one by one, and each squeezed out ten drops of black blood.

It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the old lady can feel pain even though she is in a coma, and her face, which was already full of wrinkles, is wrinkled even more at this time.

Master Chen couldn't bear to see his mother's suffering, so he hid his face and stepped aside.

When Wei Shu was done, he came to him again, squeezed out the poisonous blood old lady and woke up slowly, and Wei Shu fed her a bowl of salt water.

Although there is not much poisonous blood that was squeezed out just now, the old lady is old after all, and her body is very weak, and this salt water can have a certain alleviating effect.

After taking a few sips of water, the old lady felt that the scene in front of her was much clearer, and the blue-faced and fanged ghosts she had always seen before had also disappeared.

"This girl, are you...?"

The first thing the old lady saw when she woke up was a little girl's delicate and unfamiliar face, so she was a little puzzled.

Seeing that his mother was awake, Master Chen hurriedly threw herself in front of the bed and cried, "Mother, you are finally awake, thanks to Miss Wei." ”

Lord Chen is really worried that his mother will not be able to survive this pass, and now that his mother has passed the danger, he is also crying with joy.

Wei Shu smiled indifferently and got up and left the old lady's bedside and stood aside.

After a while, the old lady wiped her eyes and thanked her, "Thank you, girl." ”

"The old lady is not polite, just raise your hands." Wei Shu smiled slightly, thought about it and asked, "May I ask if you still see those demons and monsters?" ”

Hearing this, the old lady shook her head.

Wei Shu asked again, "Then are all the monsters you saw before some villains who are no more than a foot tall?" ”

"You... How do you know? The old lady was startled, "Did you see that too?" ”

Wei Shu covered his mouth and smiled, and said lightly on his lips, "Actually, there are no ghosts, and the reason why you see those messy things is because you ate a poisonous and hallucinogenic mushroom. ”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then followed Wei Shu's gaze to see the poisonous mushroom in the handmaiden's hand.

"This thing doesn't look like a Qingcheng specialty."

Master Chen said after looking at the mushroom for a long time.

Wei Shu also nodded, "That's right, the little girl has seen it in the book, this thing is a specialty that grows in the south of Caiyun, and the taste is extremely delicious, but the only fly in the ointment is that people will hallucinate after eating it, especially when you see many villains in front of you,

Therefore, it is rumored that if you eat this poisonous mushroom, you can see ghosts and gods, but..."

"But what?"

Lord Chen and the old lady were listening energetically, and when they saw her suddenly stop, they couldn't help but ask.

"But Yunnan is still thousands of miles away from our Qingcheng, how can you get to your mansion?"

After Wei Shu finished speaking, he began to think about it in his heart.

What kind of person would poison the old lady, thinking about it, there are only two kinds at this juncture, the first is to have a grudge against Lord Chen.

But as we all know, although Lord Chen, the dog official, has no achievements for the people, he is not a common man.

It can be said that he is a good official who does not offend the powerful and does not oppress the people.

Then there is only the second possibility, which is for her.

It's like that Huiren monk forced Lord Chen to dispose of himself through the matter of Mrs. Chen.

The spearhead of all this is directed at her Wei Shu.

No matter how mediocre Chen Da's mind was pointed out by Wei Shu, he could understand it immediately, and immediately sank his face and said solemnly, "Where did these mushrooms come from?" ”

frightened, including Yuan'er, several maids who served the old lady on weekdays quickly knelt down, "The old man is angry!" ”

There are two sources of food for the county's grandfather's mansion on weekdays, one is that the maid goes to the vegetable market to buy it, and the other is that it is sent by the people.

So soon Lord Chen sent the mother-in-law who was purchased from the kitchen on weekdays to come over, and in the process, Wei Shu noticed that fine beads of sweat began to appear on the corners of her forehead when she heard that she was going to pass on the kitchen mother-in-law, but her face was still forced to calm down.

At that moment, I roughly understood what was going on, and after a while, the mother-in-law in the kitchen walked in.

"I've seen the old lady and the old man."

Master Chen nodded and pointed to the poisonous mushroom and asked, "Do you recognize this?" ”

The mother-in-law looked at Lord Chen's hand, frowned and said, "Isn't this what Madame ate two days ago, I thought it was gone, but there is still it here." ”

Hearing this, Lord Chen's face sank, and then asked, "The official asked you, who sent this thing to the kitchen?" ”

The mother-in-law's eyes swept around the house, and finally fell on Yuan'er, "It was the girl who brought it, and she specially explained that the old lady likes to eat..."

At this point, her face is already like ashes.

Master Chen stood up and strode in front of her, so angry that he kicked the person to the ground directly.

"Good! How dare you murder your master! Who instructed you? ”

"Slave and maid, don't have it, your lord will spare your life," Tyre cried as she crawled on the ground.

Mrs. Chen knew that the person who poisoned herself was her favorite personal girl, and she was also very heartbroken.

said bitterly, "Yuan'er, where am I sorry for you, you want to harm me like this?" ”

Wei Shu also wanted to know who instructed her, but this girl's tone was too strict, and she only said that the people outside gave her death, but she couldn't say the person's name.

In the end, Master Chen had no choice but to send the person to the prison and hand him over to the jailer for interrogation.
