Chapter 253: Gotta Ask Him

This statue is recognized by Xie Zijin, which is a statue of the god of agriculture used by the people to pray for a good harvest.

Is the statue carved here to pray for a good harvest every year?

The clues in Xie Zijin's mind were disorganized, and he couldn't figure out a clear idea for a while.

She stood and wandered beside the idol for a while, and suddenly, a wave of dizziness came to her heart.

Xie Zijin's heart was cold, and he moved the fire fold to his calf, only to see that the wound had been swollen in large areas, and the bruises had spread to his ankles.

I didn't want Shen Huaijin to give her the gold sore medicine to be ineffective, it seemed that this poison could indeed endanger her life.

But now that she finally has some clues, how can she leave easily?

Enduring the sharp pain in his ankle, Xie Zijin moved the fire fold up again. By the faint light of the fire, she examined the idol carefully, trying to see some mystery.

She suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and it wasn't until her eyes fell on the right pupil of the idol that she suddenly came to her senses.

What Xie Zijin saw just now was only half of it, but now that she got a glimpse of the whole picture, she found that it coincided with a certain thought in her mind.

In this idol, there must be a mystery.

Xie Zijin stood on tiptoe and barely touched the right pupil, only to find that the right pupil was a hole deep enough to penetrate his arm.

She reached inside, but felt a hot and humid air. After touching all the way along the entrance of the cave, Xie Zijin found a hidden groove, she pressed it hard, and sure enough, the stone statue burst open, revealing a passage for only one person to walk.

This time, the snake didn't reappear. What appeared in front of Xie Zijin was a salt lake with a glowing white luster. The salt lake was steaming hot, gurgling and foaming.

Xie Zijin's expression became more and more obsessed, she never thought that a small cave would have such unique conditions - a salt lake could actually be formed here.

If this is not a salt lake but a freshwater lake, it is a natural hot spring.

However, the pain in her calf made her realize that since she knew what the truth was, she should leave as soon as possible.

Relying on the remnants of Qingming sanity, Xie Zijin carefully checked whether there were any traces left before retreating from the cave, and then he was relieved to put the statue in its place.

When she left the salt cellar, the snake came out of the hole again, staring at her at the door of the salt cellar.

Xie Zijin didn't care about anything else, and limped out.

Before he reached the entrance of the cave, it was dark in front of him, and then he fell into a coma.

When she woke up, Xie Zijin slowly glanced around and found that it was her house.

She tried to resonate, and then she remembered that she had been bitten by a poisonous snake in the cellar yesterday, and the poisonous hair caused dizziness, and she did not know who had found her and brought her back.

She glanced down at the wound on her calf, and was surprised to see that all the bruises had faded......

From time to time, there was a soft knock on the door.

Xie Zijin said, "Come in." ”

Lin Nanke walked in with a porcelain cup, and when he saw Xie Zijin leaning lazily on the side of the bed, he put the porcelain cup next to her bed.

"Xie Guard," Lin Nanke smiled slightly, and walked towards her bedside, "I called someone to come to look for you yesterday, but I didn't want you to be in the house. I thought you had snuck out again, but the man who went to the cellar to get salt told me that he had met you at the mouth of the cave...... I don't know why Escort Xie went to that place? ”

Xie Zijin didn't want to faint in such an embarrassing place, so he had to stubbornly say, "Miss also knows that I like to run around like this...... After coming to the Lin Mansion for so many days, I have walked up and down the Lin Mansion, and I forgot that there is a cellar. ”

Lin Nanke deliberately said the word "salt", wanting to observe Xie Zijin's reaction, but who knew that he only saw her with remorse on her face, "Who knew that when I went in, I saw a snake, I was afraid of such things since I was a child, I was bitten, and I barely walked to the entrance of the cave, and fainted." ”

When Lin Nanke saw her demeanor, she didn't look like a person who knew the secrets of the cellar, and the person who took the salt also said that there was no trace in the salt cellar.

Thinking that Xie Zijin had really strayed there, he softened his face and said, "It's cold and damp in the cellar, and it's not uncommon for snakes and insects to exist. The people who go in on weekdays carry snake powder and gold sore medicine that specializes in treating snake venom. ”

"Escort Xie is really fateful, fortunately he was seen in time this time, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed," Lin Nanke looked at her worriedly, "If you want to go anywhere in the future, you have to greet the people around you in advance, so as not to worry everyone." ”

She pointed to the porcelain cup on the pear flower cabinet at the bedside, "Aunt Zhang heard that you have been poisoned by snakes, so she specially asked me to bring this to you." This lobelia is a grain and grass for the treatment of snake venom, you have to pick two taels of fresh lobelia, mash the minced juice, add a tael of sweet wine to concoct, and the production process is particularly complicated. ”

Xie Zijin was flattered to take the porcelain cup, and the fragmented white petals floated on top of the black medicinal juice, as if dotted with small flowers, which looked particularly good, "If you want to take fresh lobelia, it is now late autumn, how to pick it?" ”

Lin Nanke didn't seem to expect her to ask this question, but he still replied without thinking: "There is an ice room in the cellar, and there are a lot of out-of-season crops. Because of my poor health, I had to take some herbs every month, and these herbs could only be cultivated outdoors during certain seasons, so my brother ordered someone to try them in the ice room, and I was able to feed a lot. ”

Xie Zijin nodded, but he had another thought in his heart.

Lobelia is used to detoxify, since the herbs that Lin Nanke needs to take also contain lobelia, is it ...... Lin Nanke's weak body is not because he was born like this, but because he was poisoned?

But Lin Nanke is the sister of Jing Zhaoyin, a dignified rich lady, how could she be easily poisoned?

Since receiving Si Yuan's letter, questions have broken into Xie Zijin's mind one after another, making her sleepless day and night. Since she learned that there was such an unusual place in the Lin Mansion, and Si Yuan entrusted her to investigate this matter, she thought that something big must have happened to the Lin Mansion.

Thinking of this, Xie Zijin's eyes did not move, but his heart turned a thousand times. The bell must be tied to the bell, and the lady has to be asked about this matter to know the cause and effect.

Seeing that the toxin on his leg dissipated to the point that only a cyan mark remained, Xie Zijin smiled and said, "The gold sore medicine given by Miss is really a panacea, and it has worked so quickly." ”

She knew that the golden sore medicine must have been directed at the snake, so it must have been bitten by the snake before, and according to this reasoning, the snake must have been deliberately placed in the cellar.

Otherwise, if you really wanted to get rid of this snake as soon as possible, someone should have done it a long time ago, instead of making a corresponding gold sore medicine to deal with it.
