When I returned to the team, it was dinner time. Smoke was rising from the roofs of every kitchen. There were not many people walking around outside, but the rice mill was bustling with the sound of people and machines.
"Da Zhuang, what are you doing?"
On the way home, I saw two young boys, Wang Dazhuang and his cousin, working in the fields with their butts sticking out. Both of them were carrying a small wooden bucket.
The two brothers looked up and saw that it was Lin Zhiqing and her group. They grinned and replied, "We are catching eels."
"How many were caught?" Lin Shan asked casually.
"Seven or eight."
They are good at catching eels and loaches. Although they are young, they are as cunning as loaches. They have a good catch every day and can often have a meat dish at home to satisfy their cravings.
Yun Huaying likes to eat eels, but she hasn't eaten wild eels in a long time. In her previous life, the eels she ate were all fed with various hormones. She asked, "Da Zhuang, do you want to sell eels?"
"Ah, Yun Zhiqing, you want to buy eels?"
Wang Dazhuang had never seen anyone buying eels. People who had money would buy eggs and meat.
"If you sell it, I will buy it." Yun Huaying answered him.
"Sell."
Wang Dazhuang had made money from her twice, and she was very generous with her money. She said, "Let's catch some more. We have a few more at home. We'll send them to you later."
"Okay, if you have loaches and snails, send them to me too." After Yun Huaying said that, she waved at him and went back with everyone.
After they left, Wang Daming next to him said, "Da Zhuang, my mom said Yun Zhiqing is very fierce and even beats her dad. Aren't you afraid that she will steal your eels, not give you money, and beat you up?"
"Brother Daming, her father is a bad guy who killed her grandfather and mother. Such bad guys deserve to be beaten."
Wang Dazhuang was young, but he knew right from wrong, and he looked at him with strange eyes: "How could your aunt say such things to you? Yun Zhiqing is a very good person. She beat up the bad guys. The last time she beat Liu Xiu, it was because that woman's mouth was too foul. She deserved it. The first time she beat Liu Xiu, she asked me to find a rag, gave me ten cents, and some candy. The last time she beat Liu Xiu, she gave me fifty cents. Another time, she went to the well to fetch water, and when she saw me on the road, she shared half of an orange with me. She is a good person. My mother said that she just looked cold and hard to mess with because of her family background."
When Yun Huaying was beating up Fang Ziqiang yesterday, most of the kids in the team were not there. They only heard what their elders said. Wang Daming didn't know the details either. He only heard from his mother that Yun Huaying was very fierce and beat her father and brother.
"Da Zhuang, do you really want to sell the eel to her?"
"Sell it, Brother Daming. Come with me later. Yun Zhiqing won't steal our things. We caught these eels together. We'll split the money evenly."
Wang Daming thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
When they got home, they put all the things they bought today into the cupboard. Since they didn't need to work in the afternoon and had nothing else to do, Jiang Yuan immediately took out the wool and started knitting a sweater.
Yun Huaying took a small cloth bag and put two green apples grown in the space, five or six oranges, and a bag of sesame candies that she had just bought on the black market in it. She planned to pay a formal visit to the Han family and ask Grandpa Han about the Yun family's past.
"Jiang..."
Just as I was about to say something to them, I heard footsteps outside, so I had to put down what I was holding and go out.
"Yun Zhiqing, you're back." The person who came was Yang Min.
"Just got back." Yun Huaying noticed that she seemed to have come to see her specially, so she asked, "Sister Yang Min, is there anything wrong?"
"Several people at the Youth Institution have been feeling unwell. They've been suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pain since last night. They've all been so exhausted they can't even walk. I know you're a good doctor, so I'd like you to come and see them."
"It's been so long, why don't you go to the clinic to see a doctor?" Yun Huaying frowned slightly.
"I reported this to the team leader this morning. He went to the clinic to call Dr. Zhang Liangzhi over, but he said he was too busy. He gave them some oxytetracycline and asked the team leader to bring it back for Wang Huiyu and the others. They felt a little better after taking oxytetracycline. Seeing that their condition had improved, I went to the county town. But when I came back, I found that they were still suffering from severe diarrhea. I wanted to send a tractor to take them to the hospital, but they said they would wait for me to come back."
The educated youth believed in her medical skills, but Yun Huaying was not very happy. She turned and went into the house to get the small medicine bag she made, carried it and followed her, asking: "How many people have diarrhea? What did they eat last night?"
"We all had dumplings yesterday, cooked in the same pot. It can't be the dumplings that are the problem."
"Six people have diarrhea. Among the female educated youth, Wang Huiyu and Tao Jiao are the ones suffering. All the male educated youth are feeling unwell, except for Qiu Shiyan and Xu Ruike, who work at the rice mill."
Seeing that the educated youth institute needed help, Jiang Yuan and Lin Shan, who originally wanted to knit sweaters, immediately closed the door and hurried over.
The captain had just finished his meal when he saw Yang Min had invited Yun Huaying over. He also came to see what was going on. "Yun Huaying, can you check on them? Did they eat something that upset their stomachs?"
Yun Huaying nodded and followed Yang Min to the female educated youth. Although two of them had diarrhea, the room was ventilated and they usually kept it tidy and clean, so there was no peculiar smell in the room.
Wang Huiyu was usually quite energetic, but today she was so exhausted she looked dehydrated. Her once healthy complexion had turned sickly pale. Seeing Yun Huaying approach, she and her good friend Tao Jiao struggled to sit up and spoke to her in a friendly manner, "Yun Zhiqing, we're sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
Yun Huaying nodded, took her pulse, and then asked, "What have you eaten since last night? I heard that you cooked together, but Sister Yang Min and Qiu Zhiqing didn't have diarrhea. Think about what you ate alone."
"After we finished our meal, we only drank water," said Tao Jiao next to her.
Wang Huiyu pointed to the thermos on the opposite cabinet and said, "Each of us has a thermos. The water in the kettle is boiled in the same pot. We use our own enamel cups to make tea and other things."
After Yun Huaying examined her, she went to examine Tao Jiao and quickly confirmed: "You were poisoned by a laxative."
"ah?"
Everyone present was shocked.
Zhao Xuelin didn't go in, but waited outside. When he heard her words, he stood there and asked her, "Yun Zhiqing, you said they were drugged?"
"Yes," Yun Huaying replied, then turned and left. "I'll go check on the male educated youth first. Sister Yang Min, find the kettle and enamel cups that they both used separately. I'll check them later."
"good."
Being poisoned by a laxative is no ordinary matter.
Wang Huiyu and Tao Jiao, who were originally in a depressed mood, looked at each other, and their expressions were extremely grim as they guessed: "It must have been Liu Xiu who did it."
They had a quarrel with Liu Xiu last night about dinner, and the male educated youth also joined in. They had disliked Liu Xiu for a long time, and because Yun Huaying threatened Liu Xiu before the meeting, they used this incident to warn her.
