Chapter Seventy-One: Visiting the Blind Aunt
Zhao Bingyu comforted Li Yiyao that his master and other doctors were busy helping the villagers to treat their illnesses, and when everyone was better, they would go home to accompany him. The simple Ichiya was appeased, and he regarded his master as his pride, and Akamatsu admired him more and more for his firm mind at a young age.
Knowing that Zhao Bingyu was going to find the blind aunt, Li Yiyao took the initiative to lead the way and took them to the blind aunt's house.
The village has long been in a state of decay, but the blind aunt's residence is even more shabby to the villagers next to her.
It is a remote and inconspicuous place, the house pattern of Jufang Village is very exquisite, unified according to the order of status, with the altar as the center to build outward, the closer to the altar the bigger and more elegant, like Fan Zeng, the identity of the leader of the villagers is relatively respectable, naturally live in the center, and like the blind aunt, the old and weak, the sick and the disabled live in the dilapidated and remote peripheral area.
From a distance, the body of the house has been tilted at an angle, like a candle in the wind and rain, if it is hit by a landslide and debris flow in summer, there is no high outer courtyard wall of Jufang Village to block, this house will definitely collapse.
According to Li Yiyao, the blind aunt's family originally had six people, the blind aunt's husband Qiusheng accidentally fell into the abyss when the blind aunt was just pregnant with Brother Sheng, and there were two brothers above Brother Sheng, who also passed away two years ago, and now there is only one elderly mother-in-law left in the family, a weak child, the blind aunt is blind, and can only exchange some objects and ingredients with the mother-in-law in the village by doing a handiwork, the family is living in poverty, and it is a miracle that they can barely survive in recent years.
A few years ago, some warm-hearted villagers often lent a helping hand to her family, but in the past two years, the plague has caused the family to take care of themselves, so they can still take care of them.
There were no strong pillars in the house, so it was no wonder that the roof was so dilapidated and no one repaired it. Zhao Bingyu suddenly understood the blind aunt's indifferent attitude towards them, it was not easy for a woman to carry a child alone and take care of her elderly mother-in-law.
No matter how good a person is, it is estimated that he will be polished off the surface of suppleness by the hardships of life.
The door of the stone house was closed, and Li Yiyao looked through the crack in the door and saw Brother Sheng playing with stones in the yard alone.
He buckled the knocker and shouted into the door, "Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, can you open the door for me?"
Brother Sheng turned around and found that it was his little friend, "Brother Aya."
First happy and then stiff and hesitant, he slowly approached the courtyard gate and looked out, and saw the strange Zhao Bingyu and Chi Song, nervously hiding behind the door, not daring to open the door.
Li Yiyao said, "Brother Sheng, don't be afraid, the eldest brother and uncle are good people and will not hurt you.
"Are your aunt and grandmother at home? We have something to look for you, Auntie."
Brother Sheng cautiously moved to the crack of the door, carefully looked at the strangers outside the door, and finally chose to believe the words of his little friend, and moved a small bench from the yard to cushion his feet, ready to open the door for them.
Just as he was about to remove the deadbolt, the blind aunt came out of the house to stop his movements and said sharply: "Brother Sheng, how many times has A-Niang said that you are not allowed to open the door to strangers, why don't you remember it for a long time."
Brother Sheng immediately jumped off the bench and hid behind the blind aunt, obviously a little afraid of her.
"Ah Niang, it's Ah Yao's younger brother who is here." He explained in a chatter.
The blind aunt was still with an indifferent face, staring at the outside with nothingness, and at first glance it was very creepy.
"A few people, please go back, my mother-in-law is lying on the couch, my man died early, it is really inconvenient to entertain guests, I hope you will forgive me."
Zhao Bingyu said, "Blind aunt, please stay, I have some questions I want to ask you below."
"I am an ignorant woman or child, so you should look for them separately."
After she finished speaking, she dragged Brother Sheng to turn around and walk into the house, Zhao Bingyu didn't start asking, he just ate the closed door, and in a hurry, his mind turned sharply, and he called out the small poem on the painting that Li Qi treasured.
"The beauty upstairs is beautiful, and the moon is shining on the horizon."
The blind aunt's body stiffened and paused.
"Are you familiar with this poem?"
Brother Sheng raised his head and looked at the blind aunt suspiciously, but the three people outside the door couldn't see the expression on the blind aunt's face at this time.
After a while, the blind aunt replied: "I haven't heard of it, I am a mountain village woman, I can't read or understand poetry, if you want to appreciate poetry, but you may go to Village Chief Fan, he may know better."
There wasn't even a hint of a ripple in her voice.
Zhao Bingyu was unwilling, "I didn't see you go to the altar today, so I guess you don't know that your village is not infected with the plague."
The blind aunt was silent and listened to him quietly.
"Today, Dr. Li Qi and Dr. Li personally admit to everyone that he has been poisoning the villagers for the past two years and deceiving you that you are infected with the plague."
He continued, "I wonder what you think about this?"
At this time, there was a sudden call from Brother Sheng "Ah" from inside the door, everyone didn't know what was going on, Zhao Bingyu looked carefully into the crack of the door, only to see the blind aunt picked up Brother Sheng on the ground, and said to them while walking towards the house: "The wicked have their own retribution, please go back, our family just wants to live in peace, and we don't want to participate in these things."
Judging from the blind aunt's performance, she didn't seem to know Li Qian before, and she didn't care about his life and death.
Several people had to temporarily return to the thatched hut.
Li Qi was held in a stone hut in the village, guarded by Shi Li's men, and Liu Xuanhe instructed them to take care of them and not to be executed without permission, after which he returned to the thatched hut to meet Zhao Bingyu and exchange information obtained this time. jj.br>
After Jin Jiaojiao vomited half of the toxin, she rested for another afternoon, her body was already much better, Chi Song prepared the antidote medicine in the pharmacy, and he planned to go to Nanmu Miasma Forest tomorrow to take a trip to collect two medicines, Ji and Jing, to detoxify Jin Jiaojiao and the villagers.
Several people gathered in the thatched hut to analyze Li Qian's motives for poisoning.
Jin Jiaojiao actually suspected that Aunt Blind and Li Qian had a lot of relationship with each other early on, even if it was out of politeness and gratitude, she didn't let her own children wear tattered old clothes, and made exquisite new clothes for other people's children, isn't it a matter of passing to make two sets of clothes?
At that time, she vaguely felt that Aunt Blind obviously preferred Li Yiyao, and even boldly guessed in her heart that he was the illegitimate son of Aunt Blind and Li Qian. But in the past few days, they have lived in Jufang Village, and they have never seen any intersection between the blind aunt and Li Qian, one of them is blind, the other is dumb, and even basic communication is very difficult, how can there be other sparks.
But after listening to the information provided by Zhao Bingyu today, she had another guess, Li Qian pretended to be dumb, maybe he was not pretending to be dumb to them or the villagers of Jufang, and in order to prevent the blind aunt from recognizing his voice, he would pretend to be dumb to everyone. Jin Jiaojiao has also seen that painting, and she is 80% sure that it is the portrait of the blind aunt when she was young.
However, the woman in the portrait has beautiful eyes and is not a blind girl.
And the background of the painting is obviously not Jufang Village, more like the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, is the blind aunt not from Yuzhou, married here from other places?
Zhao Bingyu agrees with Jin Jiaojiao's opinion, the blind aunt seems to be bland about Li Qian's poisoning, but in fact she is hiding her true emotions in her heart, when he reads out the poem in the afternoon, the blind aunt obviously reacts, although the attitude is calm, but it is too calm, but it is unbelievable, her two sons died at the hands of Li Qian, will normal people be so calm after learning the truth?
No way!
What made him guess the most in his heart was that he saw the red marks on Sheng Ge'er's wrist through the crack in the door in the afternoon, when the blind aunt was holding Sheng Ge'er's hand, when he spoke, Sheng Ge'er screamed, and the red marks on his wrist must have been unconsciously dragged too crowded by the blind aunt.
Despite being well disguised, she exposed herself.
