Chapter 8: The Poisonous Woman
The injury of the dream note gradually scabbed and recovered, and half a month passed, and Huanshi, who had already gone to the ground, was injured in the waist and couldn't stand the fatigue, so he had to run back and forth every time he took water for watering.
After the beginning of spring, the weather becomes warmer and warmer, and the cabbage seedlings sprout scattered, and the tender green leaves are very attractive. Li Dazhuang's family has two acres of land, and now it is the busy season for farming, and the Li family is very diligent, almost every day before dawn to get up, until the sun sets, they do not return home.
Lin Dai Mo saw that Zhong'er only gnawed on a piece of leftover dry food at a young age, and he couldn't even drink a sip of hot water, so he forcibly dragged him to his home. Although the Lin family is now poor, Aunt Li and her neighbors are willing to help if they have a stutter on weekdays, but they are not hungry.
That day, Lu Mengjian saw a few green shepherd's cabbage in the yard, and suddenly remembered the shepherd's cabbage soup he had eaten, and the gluttonous insects couldn't control it, so he went out with a basket and dug a basket. When I returned home with back pain, I found that it was noon to eat.
I finally chose to wash it, only to find that there were no other condiments at home except for a small jar of salt, fortunately, Aunt Li sent an egg to replenish the body, and the dream note was not willing to eat and kept it. After a while, a pot of steaming shepherd's cabbage and egg soup was brought out, and a few "four dislike" nests steamed yesterday were steamed, and a lunch was baked.
As soon as the pot was brought to the stove, I heard Zhong'er's crisp voice outside, "Master, we're back!" Before I walked to the door, I could already smell the aroma of the food, "Master, what is this, it smells so good!" "
Mengjian smiled and pinched Zhong'er's nose, "Little glutton, the nose is really smart, you're hungry, wash your hands and sit down, and the master will bring you food." Ignoring Lin Daimo on the side, he went straight back to the kitchen and brought out three bowls of green soup, and took a few ugly nests, Lin Daimo frowned when he looked at it.
But what made Lin Daimo most angry was that this woman shamelessly sat down directly at the dinner table, and even though he was not seated, she ate and drank with Zhong'er, but it was really bad to have Zhong'er present.
"Why don't you eat, sir?" Zhong'er took a bite of soup, saw that most of it had been in, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Mr. had not yet moved, and he also put the dishes and chopsticks. Mengjian knew that Lin Daimo's face was uncertain, and he still took a sip of soup to himself, "Zhong'er, Mr. may not be hungry, when he is hungry, he will eat it naturally, you eat it quickly, this shepherd's cabbage is pure natural and pollution-free, and many of us can't eat it if we want to." It's a pity that there is a lot of seasoning in this soup, otherwise it would have been better......"
Lin Daimo was confused when he heard it, but when he saw that Zhong'er refused to move his chopsticks, and his stomach had already sung about the empty city plan, he stepped off the stage and sat at the table. Lu Mengjian glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that he was still hesitating, he sneered and said, "What, are you still afraid that I will poison my rice?" "
"Gollum", Lin Daimo still wanted to insist, but he was resolutely betrayed by his stomach, and he couldn't help but pick up a piece of nest and chew it. Since the two lived under this roof, Lu Mengjian has challenged Lin Daimo's limits more and more, not only often flipping through his only poetry book, but also becoming more and more rude, and dare to eat at the same table with him today.
Ever since he learned about Lu Mengjian's life experience from Aunt Li, the contempt in his eyes has become even more obvious, from a wild girl who sells her relatives to a slave who wants to climb the master's bed, both of them are extremely despicable, and now they still want to be on an equal footing with him, it's just wishful thinking! Although he is no longer the eldest young master of the Lin family in the past, even in the homes of ordinary people, women must abide by the three obedience and four virtues, which is like her, regardless of dignity and inferiority, and casually transgress.
Lu Mengjian was not used to eating the food here, and he ate very little, so he quickly finished eating and served Zhong'er a bowl of soup. Hearing the spring thunder outside the house, he suddenly remembered the cabbage seedlings that had just been unearthed, so he got up and walked out of the house.
The bean-sized leaves were close to the ground, looking extremely delicate, and Lu Mengjian was worried that the vegetable seedlings would not be able to withstand the raindrops, so he found a rotten basket from the corner of the yard and covered it.
Then I washed my hands and walked into the house, but I heard a bang, as if the rice bowl fell to the ground, and then I heard Zhong'er's cry, "Sir, sir, what's wrong with you, don't scare Zhong'er......"
Mengjian quickened his pace, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Lin Daimo lying on his side with a pale face, his hands tightly covering his stomach, his lips turned purple and blue, and a trace of blood slowly flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Zhong'er stood aside at a loss, a smiling face turned pale with fright.
"Zhong'er, go and call Uncle Seven to come over, and then go to the field to call your father and mother, quick!" Seeing this scene, Lu Mengjian knew that something was wrong, and asked Zhong'er, and before he had time to wipe his hands, he had to reach out to help Lin Daimo go to bed, but he remembered the first aid method he had learned in his previous life, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to kneel on the ground to test his snort.
Lin Dai Mo barely had the strength to breathe, and Lu Mengjian tried to breathe more and more faintly and panicked, "Although this person has the name of husband and wife with himself, and he doesn't even know his name, and he humiliated himself in every way that day, he really can't swallow this breath if he doesn't take revenge, but after all, human life is at stake...... Get out! "
Pinching Lin Daimo's jaw, Lu Mengjian took a sharp breath, broke Lin Daimo's mouth and went over. After several times in a row, Lin Daimo's face was still pale, but his breathing gradually eased back.
Uncle Seven stood at the door, watching the woman's actions right, and seeing Lu Mengjian bending down again, he stopped and said, "Girl, the old man is here, what's wrong with Mr. Lin?" "
Lu Mengjian was still holding back his strength, but when he saw Uncle Seven, he instantly relaxed, and his legs and feet fell to the ground weakly, "Uncle Seven, you can show Mr. what's wrong, how can I say that I fainted while eating this well." "
"Girl, don't worry, help my husband to the bed with me first," the seventh uncle saw that Lin Daimo's lips were bruised, but his hands were pressed against his abdomen, he knew that something was wrong, he held Lin Daimo with one hand, and put the other hand on his wrist, and then looked at Lu Mengjian's eyes began to be a little subtle.
Finally put Lin Daimo to the side of the bed, Lu Mengjian's hands were out of strength, and Lin Daimo accidentally opened back, but fortunately, Uncle Seven had been secretly working hard to hold Lin Daimo firmly in his hands.
"What do you think Mr. Lin is sick today?" Uncle Seven suddenly asked, and Lu Mengjian, who was squatting on the ground to take off his shoes for Lin Daimo, raised his head in a daze, "Maybe it's acute inflammation, how do I know, Uncle Seven, you are Lang Zhong." "
"Well, it's okay, you go boil the water," Uncle Seven glanced at her with deep meaning, and after speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Daimo, who had a distorted expression on the bed, and took the pulse again, and finally confirmed the original conjecture.
When Li Dazhuang and his wife heard the news that Mr. Lin was sick, they threw away the hoe in their hands and ran home, while the village chief also heard the news and called Li Zheng and several old people in the village to hurry over. Zhong'er informed the children of the village middle school hall one by one that classes were suspended in the afternoon.
Soon the news of Mr. Lin's illness spread throughout Shita Village, and the stone mill at the east end of the village had always been a place for women to hold gossip meetings.
"Tsk, what's wrong with our village this year, the earlier gentleman couldn't keep running errands, and finally invited a new gentleman and now he is sick again, is it because the water and soil in our village are not good?"
"That's right, I heard my dog say that this gentleman teaches well, and he hardly beats people with a ruler. My dog said that he was afraid when he saw Mr. before, but now he is cute in this gentleman's class, and after listening to what Mr. said, he remembers the book quickly. "
"the damn, no matter how good Mr. is, he's sick, isn't he sick, how can he teach, we also gave a month's bundle in advance, it's only a few days before it was lost, hey, you shouldn't have listened to my family's words, you have to let your child go to school, or you can make money for the family early."
"Hey, have you heard, that old Li Tou's loyal son was eating at Mr. Lin's house at noon, and I saw him crying and running to the village chief's house. I also heard him say to the village chief...... "The horse-faced woman with her back against the locust tree pretended to lower her voice mysteriously and sold the guanzi, but everyone pricked up their ears when they heard it."
"He, sister-in-law Liu, your family lives in Daxitou, but the village chief's house is in the middle of the village, why did you suddenly run to the village chief?" The woman who was not far from the village chief's house couldn't help but ask, but the horse-faced woman ignored it as if she hadn't heard it.
"Guess what I heard? I heard Zhong'er's kid crying and saying that it was his sister who poisoned Mr. Lin, which caused Mr. Lin to suddenly fall ill! The horse-faced woman looked at everyone's reaction with a smug face, and looked at everyone's stunned expressions, and her smile became stronger and stronger......
In her previous life, Lu Mengjian was known for her calmness in the laboratory, and she would not hesitate to remedy it even if the alcohol lamp burst in front of her, but today she couldn't wipe out a trace of spark with the flint, and finally lit the fire, and Aunt Li had already arrived.
It is said that Lu Mengjian, as Mr. Lin's insider, should stay in the room to take care of him, but the village chief and Li Zheng sat at the door, stopped Lu Mengjian at the door, and only allowed Aunt Li to send hot water and other items into the room.
"Lin family lady, don't be sad, Uncle Seventh is trying his best to treat it inside, I saw that Mr. had several needles on his head, and the village chief was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it......" Aunt Li was silent when she saw the dream, so she kindly persuaded her.
Seeing that the village chief was not paying attention, he pulled Lu Mengjian to the corner of the kitchen and whispered: "I heard Uncle Seventh mention two sentences, Mr. is afraid that it is caused by poisoning, Mrs. Lin, Mr.'s meals have always been prepared by you, I'm afraid that the village chief and Li are suspicious of you, and now if Mr. can be saved, it's okay, I'm afraid that Mr. has three long and two short, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out of it." But Mrs. Lin, I believe you won't do such a thing, but you haven't been in the village for long, so I'm afraid of ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the village chief ask, "Where did that poisonous woman go?" "
