The team leader rolled his eyes at her and replied: I only went to school for one year. My family was poor and couldn't afford to continue my studies, so I came down to work with my father and others.

An Ran said: Old man, the way you look and the words you say make me feel like a college student, very cultured.

The captain said with a smile: This is all learned, accumulated bit by bit by interacting with others.

If you act stupidly, you will be bullied!

Fu Xiaoxiao ran over and shouted: Ranran, it’s time to eat.

Captain, come in and eat with us.

The captain waved his hand and said: No, your aunt has already done it, I will go back first.

Then he patted Anran and said: Go back and eat, then turned and left.

Anran stood up, brushed off the dirt on her body, and followed Fu Xiaoxiao back to eat...

Lying in bed at night, Anran tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

I looked at the time, it was past eight o'clock, so I got up and got dressed.

He climbed out of the window and headed straight for the cowshed.

When I arrived at the house next to the cowshed, I saw Cao Kun sitting at the door, looking at the sky.

Anran walked over and asked: Why are you sitting here?

Cao Kun didn't say anything, nor did he look at her, and continued to sulk alone.

An Ran tugged at his clothes and said: Am I talking to you?

Did you hear that?

He still didn't speak. An Ran tugged at her clothes again and said: If you don't speak again, I'm leaving, really leaving.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, couldn't he just comfort himself?

Anran let go of him and turned to leave, but was pulled back and fell into his arms.

He tightened his arms and said sullenly: Do you want me to die?

If I die, will you care about me?

An Ran raised her hands and hugged him, whispering: I don’t want you to die, I want you to live well.

He asked again: Can't you just coax me?

I ignored you because I wanted you to coax me, but you turned around and left.

An Ran leaned close to his ear and called softly: Brother Kun, please don’t be angry with me, okay?

He was trembling all over as if he had been electrocuted.

He found her lips accurately, lowered his head and kissed her, clasping his hands on the back of her head to prevent her from escaping.

After a long time, when the heat in his body subsided a little, he let her go and said in a low, hoarse and magnetic voice: "Little devil, I will either be pissed to death by you, or tortured to death by you."

An Ran touched his face and asked: Are you willing to continue to be tortured by me?

He rested his head against her forehead and replied: You can only torture me, no one else can.

Ranran, promise me that you won’t say those two words again, okay?

She nodded, kissed his face and said: I'm sorry, I promise I will never say it again.

As soon as I said it, I regretted it and said I was sorry.

He hugged her tightly and said happily: Remember, if you say it again next time, I will bite you hard.

Leaning safely in his arms, looking at the sky, enjoying the tranquility of the moment...

Thinking of the medicine in Yang Sheng's house, she asked in a depressing tone: Brother Kun, was your grandmother a medical student?

Did she study Western medicine or Chinese medicine?

He replied: My grandmother studied Chinese medicine, but not long after she started studying, the government no longer promoted Chinese medicine.

My grandmother gave up her traditional Chinese medicine practice and focused on work and taking care of the family.

What made you ask this?

An Ran didn't answer and continued to ask: Are they asleep?

He shook his head and said: No, they were talking inside.

Anran stood up, pulled him and said: Come on, let's go in, I have something to ask your grandma.

When the two of them walked in, the Yun and Jin families saw An Ran and turned their eyes to her.

An Ran took out a small box, placed it in front of Cao Kun's grandmother, and said: "Old lady, could you please show me the medicine here?"

Old Mrs. Jin didn't refuse. She nodded, opened the box, put it to her nose, smelled it carefully, and frowned.

He put it down and thought about it, then picked it up and smelled it.

Then he put it down, looked at An Ran and asked: Child, where did you get this medicine?

An Ran did not answer, but asked: What kind of medicine is this?

Old Lady Jin didn't ask any further questions and replied: This is the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

This small red pill contains dormant corpse worms, which attack regularly every Dragon Boat Festival. If there is no antidote, the corpse worms will drill into the brain of the person who takes it and eat his brain marrow.

The brain marrow and corpse worms will slowly eat away at it, and the poisoned person will die in agony.

After hearing this, An Ran clenched her fists tightly. Yang Sheng was so cruel that he actually used such a vicious method.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: Old man, what kind of medicinal materials are needed to prepare this kind of medicine?

Also, the person who created this poison, must he be a master of poison techniques?

Old Lady Jin replied: This poison is made from three kinds of insects. The first is the bone-eating corpse insect, the second is the marrow-eating corpse insect, and the third is the heart-boring corpse insect.

I have seen corpses before when reading books about traditional Chinese medicine. I thought they were all legends, but I didn’t expect that such a sinister thing actually existed.

An Ran thought of the word Dragon Boat Festival and asked again: Old man, you just said that this thing will break out every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, right?

Old Mrs. Jin nodded and said: Yes, this thing will break out on the Dragon Boat Festival. As for why, it was not mentioned in the book I read, so I don’t know either.

Anran closed the box, put it in her bag, turned around and was about to run.
