Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Escape Famine, I Have a Treasure Chest So I Don't Panic

One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.

The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.

Before...

Chapter 293 A Blessing in Misfortune

"He started to become a little unconscious from the day before yesterday." Xu Ning had given him sleeping pills, and when he handed the man over to Pei Yongjun, the Minister of Agriculture arranged for someone to clean up the pills.

However, due to the excessive dosage of sleeping pills, some side effects were inevitable. At first, the martial artist experienced some common symptoms, such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, headaches, and dizziness. These reactions were normal, but over time, the problem gradually became more serious.

Later, the martial artist developed movement disorders. His muscles trembled and twitched from time to time, causing ataxia and an unsteady gait. The Minister of Agriculture realized that the situation was not good and quickly had him isolated to avoid affecting others.

Today, the Minister of Agriculture was surprised to find that he had developed more serious symptoms, including memory loss, confusion, and decreased judgment. The situation was urgent, so the Minister of Agriculture immediately asked Pei Yongjun to notify Xu Ning.

When Xu Ning arrived, the martial artist had already fallen into a state of uncontrollable anxiety. He seemed to be back on that terrifying cannibal island, his face filled with anxiety and fear. Sometimes he was nervous, sometimes he was frantic...

Xu Ning frowned and asked, "Is he the only one who has this problem?"

"He is the only one like this at the moment." The Minister of Agriculture frowned. This symptom clearly showed that he was infected with prions.

Pei Yongjun arranged for people to inquire and found out that among the martial artists who went to the island at that time, he was the most unlucky one to be splashed with blood. According to a martial artist, some brain matter was splashed on his face.

Xu Ning and the Grand Minister of Agriculture looked at each other, both of them with relief and sympathy for him in their eyes.

But it’s a good thing that only one person was infected, otherwise Xu Ning would be heartbroken if so many high-quality forces were wasted.

After all, I have used it once, so I won’t feel unfamiliar with it if I continue to use it.

Xu Ning asked someone to call Wang Lan over and told him that the martial artist was infected with prions.

Wang Lan watched in fear as the martial artist went crazy in the room, and his back was soon soaked with cold sweat.

During this period, Xu Ning did not confine him, and he could even move freely in Haicheng. However, he consulted many doctors to check his pulse, and everyone said that he was not poisoned.

Wang Lan couldn't believe it and became even more afraid of Xu Ning.

"Auntie, is there something you want me to come over for?" It's impossible that you just want to see this unlucky guy go crazy. He's already scared to death and doesn't need to be intimidated anymore, really.

"There is something I want to assign to you. You are familiar with this business, so you are the most suitable person to do it." Xu Ning turned his head, and Xu Yuan quickly brought a package over. Xu Ning handed the package to Wang Lan, and Wang Lan opened the package under Xu Ning's gaze.

The familiar meatballs inside came into view, and at a glance, Wang Lan knew what he was going to do.

Wang Lan's face was as pale as arsenic. He wanted to cry and beg Xu Ning to arrange other work for him.

Seeing that he looked like a bereaved family member, the Grand Minister of Agriculture took a curious look at it, but couldn't tell what the pill was. However, he didn't show anything and planned to look for Xu Ning later.

Wang Lan finally didn't let Xu Ning wait and accepted the job. Although he was filled with reluctance, he knew he had no choice.

This job is actually simple. Wang Lan only needs to tell those martial artists that the cannibals have a highly infectious disease. He then takes out the medicine given by Xu Ning and says it can prevent and relieve the disease. Most people will be willing to take it.

The rest depends on Wang Lan's eloquence and tactics.

Now all the martial artists have been detained by Pei Yongjun using special means. The danger is very low, but it does not mean there is no danger.

Wang Lan also knew in his heart that they had already offended everyone who came ashore. Since they had drugged them the first time, it would be the same the next time. Anyway, those people had already hated them to death.

If this mission is completed successfully, Xu Ning might even look upon them with a higher regard, and there is a greater chance that she will continue to work for her in the future.

Moreover, they had a secret thought in their hearts: since they were all controlled by Xu Ning with drugs, it would not be a bad idea for everyone to be controlled together. This way, they no longer had to worry about being the only victim and could face this situation together.

With this mentality, they gradually accepted the status quo and began to think about how to survive and develop under such circumstances.

Wang Lan respectfully took the medicine and left. The Grand Minister of Agriculture came over and asked Xu Ning curiously, "What did you give him? Why does he look like his whole family has died?"

Xu Ning smiled slightly and answered mysteriously: "Would you like a pill of Tianshan Tonglao's medicine?" Hearing this, Da Si Nong was shocked. He couldn't help but look at Xu Ning suspiciously, wondering if this guy was lying to him.

Xu Ning saw Da Si Nong's doubts and showed a smug smile. She did not deny that Da Si Nong was capable in pharmacology, but this pill was produced by the system. Xu Ning dared to bet that even if Da Si Nong lived another 60 years, he might not be able to research it, because the pill itself was a non-toxic powder and a kind of bacteria.

The real work is the bacteria hidden in the powder. Even if the great minister is very skilled, he can't see these things without a microscope.

"Where did you get these pills?"

Xu Ning smiled but said nothing. She would not tell Da Si Nong that the pill came from the treasure chest. So she pretended to be mysterious and said, "This is my secret. You want to know, but I won't tell you! Hahahahahahahahahahaha"

The Grand Minister of Agriculture saw the evil look in Xu Ning's eyes and said with disdain, "Do you think I look stupid? Humph! You bastard, are you trying to control them to work?"

Xu Ning chuckled and asked, "Why? Is it not possible?"

The Grand Minister of Agriculture rolled his eyes at Xu Ning and said unhappily, "Why not? These are martial arts masters. They can do anything easily, okay? Apart from forcing the emperor to abdicate, they can do anything."

Xu Ning nodded. These martial artists were quite capable, but it was a pity that a strong body did not come with a smart brain.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen into her hands twice.

Da Si Nong didn't know what Xu Ning was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely criticize her. "Are you a normal person, Xu Ning? You're just a little pervert!"

"Girl Ning, what do you plan to ask them to do?" Pei Yongjun was in the same boat after all. Since Xu Ning proposed to use these martial artists, he did not object.

The place where these martial artists are being held is Pei Yongjun's private property, and the people guarding them are all his own people, so he is not worried that the news will spread.

"Of course it's to cause trouble. Old Qin has suffered enough injustice because of these martial artists, so let's collect some interest first." Xu Ning believed that Jiang Yan was happy to cooperate with her on this point.
