The oil seller was hurt and angry in his heart, he was distressed that Erniang was crazy and stupid, and he couldn't even take care of himself, and he was angry that he had no ability, and he couldn't let her eat and dress her every day when she went out early and returned late. The oil seller put down his flat burden and hurriedly coaxed her, "Erniang, let's go into the house, it's too cold outside, Niuniu will get sick!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's cold outside, Niuniu, my mother will carry you into the house!" Erniang didn't even look at the oil seller, and walked in with a pillow. The stove in the house was cold, and there was not much rice and noodles left, so he sighed, lit the stove, the water in the pot boiled, and put a small handful of rice into it, which was his and Erniang's dinner.

Looking at the raging flames in the stove, the oil seller's eyes almost bleed. He hated that man, and he hated himself even more. When her daughter was bullied by Wu Liang and committed suicide, Erniang went to the Wu family to theorize in anger, not wanting Wu Liang to hide in the Li Mansion.

It snowed heavily that year, and the oil seller was infected with the wind and cold, and he couldn't eat enough, so he couldn't talk about going to see Langzhong. Li Chenghe met him by chance, gave him ten taels of silver casually, and told him to recuperate well, and if there were still difficulties, he could go to him at any time.

Because of these ten taels of silver, the oil seller survived, and Erniang and the children also survived. When the man came to find the oil seller, he told him that Li Chenghe was worried about this matter, and took out gold, silver and jewelry, saying that it was to compensate him and Erniang. The oil seller was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and he didn't leave any of the gold and silver, and told the man that he would persuade Erniang not to go to the Li Mansion to make trouble again. The man left a prescription, saying that it was for Erniang to calm her nerves. But after taking it for a while, he realized that there was something wrong with the medicine.

At first, Erniang was indeed a lot quieter after taking the medicine, and the oil seller could also go out to do business. Half a month later, he found that Erniang was demented all day long, and she didn't even speak. Give her water and she will drink, and give her food and she will eat. At this time, the oil seller realized that the problem was the prescription.

He went to look for the man, but he didn't find it for a long time, and the oil seller was annoyed, so he had to stop the medicine, but the smart and clever Erniang couldn't come back. Every time he saw Erniang's stupid appearance, he couldn't wait to break that person's body into thousands of pieces, and he hated Li Chenghe for assassinating himself and Erniang for his brother-in-law.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the oil seller stood up to open the door, and found that the person standing outside the door was the person who gave him the prescription back then! He grabbed the man by the collar, pulled him in, and scolded, "You still dare to come, I will kill you to make Erniang angry!" ”

The man was not in a hurry, raised a hand to block between himself and the oil seller, he held a small medicine bottle in his hand and said, "I am here to deliver medicine today, eat this, Erniang will get better." ”

As soon as the oil seller hesitated, the man had already broken free from his hands, straightened his robe and said, "Back then, I was dedicated to you, and I didn't want you to be caught between Master Li and Erniang. Unexpectedly, the medicine was heavier, and I felt guilty! He turned his hypocrisy into sincerity, and the oil seller was faithful, and when he heard that it was good for Erniang, he was suddenly less wary of that person. But this time, he had to test the medicine first.

"Bring the medicine!" He reached out and snatched the bottle of medicine, poured out a small black pill from it and threw it into his mouth. After the hard work of the meal, he didn't feel anything else, but felt better in spirit. He asked, "Does this medicine really work?" The man nodded very affirmatively, "Haven't you already eaten it, why don't you give Erniang one too, I think the effect will be more obvious." ”

The oil seller hesitated, but after all, he still felt sorry for Erniang, and took one and fed it to her. The rice porridge in the pot had been cooked, and the oil seller went to serve a small bowl, cut a few slices of pickles, and prepared to feed Erniang.

He opened the curtain and called "Erniang", Erniang turned her back to him, sat on the kang, and the person who delivered the medicine was gone. The oil seller's heart suddenly cooled, and Erniang sat stiffly at this moment, not moving and making no sound. He walked over and patted Erniang lightly on the back, but the person leaned to the side and fell!

With a "bang", the porridge bowl in the hand of the oil seller fell to the ground and shattered, and black blood flowed out of Erniang's mouth and nose, and the person was out of breath. The oil seller wanted to cry loudly, but there were no tears, let alone crying. At this time, there was a sound of talking in the courtyard, it was Old Man Yu who came with Fang Langzhong and Yichun.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Erniang who was lying on the kang, Fang Langzhong hurriedly went to check her snort and pulse, and after confirming it, the old man Chongyu shook his head gently. Yichun rushed over and pushed the oil seller, and asked loudly, "Although Erniang is crazy and stupid, she is also your wife, how can you kill her!" ”

The oil seller turned around slowly, his lips twitched twice, and he didn't say anything. Fang Langzhong noticed the medicine bottle on the edge of the kang, picked it up and poured out one and smelled it, his face immediately changed. Old Man Yu asked, "Fang Langzhong, is that poison?" Fang Langzhong Zhengse said, "This medicine is indeed a good medicine, but in the prescription that Erniang took before, there is a medicine that clashes with this medicine, and the combination of the two is extremely poisonous!" ”

"I, I've taken this medicine too, but I, I'm fine." The oil seller trembled, and Fang Langzhong helped him sit down beside him. Old Man Yu said to Yichun, "Pour him a glass of water, poor thing, he is also frightened." ”

Yichun knew that he was reckless, so he hurriedly went out to boil water and poured a bowl of hot water for the oil seller. The oil seller shuddered for a while, and then he barely cheered up and said, "Just now, that person came to deliver medicine again." I was also suspicious, so I tried it myself and then gave it to Erniang. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......"

Fang Langzhong frowned, "The medicine giver you are talking about, is it the same person as the person who gave you the prescription before?" The oil seller nodded, but did not speak. Yichun said, "This scum, it's not enough to hurt Erniang once, and it's a second time!" Oil seller, do you remember what he looks like, maybe I can help you draw it! ”

That face, even if it turns into ashes, the oil seller remembers it. Under his description, Yichun kept revising, and finally, the face of a strange man appeared on the drawing paper. The man had a square face, two sparse eyebrows, and a missing piece on the right side. And the black mole on the chin is very recognizable.

Old Man Yu looked at it for a long time, but he didn't remember where he had seen this person. Fang Langzhong said, "I don't have to look at it, I can be sure that this person doesn't live in the town." The old man snorted coldly and said, "Naturally, you have to choose a raw face that harms people, otherwise you will be recognized at a glance, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" Yichun asked the oil seller, "This man is eye-catching, why do you believe him?" The oil seller wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "At that time, he came with Master Li's money bag." I recognize that money bag, it is indeed Master Li's, that's why I am credulous! ”
