Volume 1 Chapter 119 Selling to a Pawnshop
Just keep an eye on it and don't let anyone die!
Next, I want him to experience the feeling of being a servant. Doesn’t that ungrateful person always beat and scold the servants?
Then go and experience the feeling of being a slave yourself. Only in this way can you empathize with others.
At present, Su Muyan only needs to keep an eye on this ungrateful person and make sure he doesn't die in a short time. She should focus more on the witchcraft that she is interested in.
This is a completely new field that I have never known before. Everyone is more or less curious about things they don’t understand.
Su Muyan is no exception. After all, her medical skills are now very advanced, and her martial arts are also very good. For the time being, she might as well learn some witchcraft!
Call another maid, this one was brought back from Wanchuan Sect, who had some knowledge of witchcraft.
"I'm quite curious about this witchcraft now, why don't you tell me about it!"
In this way, the maid was talking and Su Muyan and Shen Yinzi were listening carefully.
The art of witchcraft originated from the Nanzhao Kingdom. It is said that there was a mysterious Miao tribe in the Nanzhao Kingdom.
The women in this tribe are all very charming, and their eyes are so beautiful that they can captivate people.
But as the old saying goes, everything beautiful has two sides. This mysterious Miao tribe has cultivated many female poison masters.
They select poisonous insects from a variety of insects and then cultivate them. During this period, the poisonous insects will be fed with various medicinal herbs. In short, the process of cultivating poisonous insects is very long.
Take hundreds of insects and put them into a jar. After a year, open the jar and one of them will eat all the others. This is called a Gu.
Most of the people who raise Gu are women, because they have strong Yin energy, so they often keep them in secret rooms. If they poison people with poison without them knowing it, it is now called Gu poison.
Common Gu that are favored by Yi women include: golden silkworm Gu, stone Gu, snake Gu, epilepsy Gu, love Gu, etc.
There are many specific types, but most of them are exclusive secret techniques that are not easily seen by ordinary people.
"Then how can one poison someone without anyone knowing?" This was the question that Su Muyan was most concerned about.
As long as you know how the poison was cast, you don't have to worry too much.
Anyway, it’s always a good idea to know more about this mysterious matter!
The maid continued, "There are usually many ways to poison someone. Some require the person to eat the mother insect, some only require a little mucus, and some rely on the insect's feces."
In short, the poison of Miao Gu is extremely terrifying! To release the Gu, it is not necessary to use food specifically. Anything you breathe into or look at can transmit the poison to others. Using food is a further attack by the Gu!
Those who are poisoned by Gu may experience swelling of the throat and inability to swallow or drink; their faces may turn pale and yellow, and they may become thinner day by day; there may be accumulation of matter in the chest and coughing; their chest and abdomen may swell and their limbs may become numb, and they may die within a few days or even months.
Verification method: Let the person chew raw soybeans. If there is no fishy smell, then the person has been poisoned. In ethnic minority areas, the person holds a piece of duck egg white in his mouth with a silver needle inserted into it. If the duck egg white and the silver needle turn black, then the person has been poisoned.
Prevention and detoxification methods: Any house with spider webs and dust is suspected to be a place where poison is raised, so avoid visiting; if the host knocks on the cups and bowls with chopsticks before serving the rice, it is suspected to be a place where poison is cast, so be extra careful and avoid eating or tell the truth; when eating out, carry garlic with you to prevent poison, as poison is difficult to cure if it is mixed with alcohol, so avoid drinking when going out to prevent poison.
Methods for detoxifying and breaking the poison: taking a decoction of realgar, garlic, and calamus, or a decoction of pomegranate root, can eliminate the poison; it is also said that golden silkworms are most afraid of hedgehogs, so they can be used as medicine to treat the poison.
The little maid was talking until her mouth was dry, while Su Muyan and Shen Yin beside her were listening with fascination.
It has to be admitted that the vast majority of people in the Nanzhao Kingdom know how to use witchcraft, and Su Muyan believes that there are quite a few who are highly skilled in this art.
Moreover, the fact that Wan Chuanzong had spies and knew witchcraft alone made Su Muyan feel extremely uncomfortable.
This means that there is a bomb ready to explode next to you at any time. Who can feel comfortable with this?
The Nanzhao Emperor, whose treasury is temporarily empty, is unlikely to expand outward any further, but he does have a lot of evil intentions.
There is no guarantee that he will not take action against Wan Chuanzong. As of now, I am afraid that my understanding of Wan Chuanzong is not as good as that of the Nanzhao Emperor.
After all, with that spy there, no one knows how much information he has passed on over the years.
But the most frustrating thing is that we don’t even know who this person is?
After worrying for a while, I stopped dwelling on this matter and decided to wait until I returned to Wan Chuanzong before dealing with it!
After being nourished by my spiritual spring water over the past few days, that ungrateful guy should be able to move again.
Although he had become useless and a eunuch, this did not prevent him from becoming a slave and experiencing the kind of life he once despised the most.
How had he insulted his servants in the past? Why did he think they were worse than animals? Now Su Muyan was going to bring every last one of these things upon him.
The two maids fished out the ungrateful person. It seemed that everyone was in a hurry to find the ambergris and had no time to care about him.
After getting his household registration, Su Muyan walked directly into a dental clinic.
Before coming here, Su Muyan specifically inquired about it and found out that this dental clinic was the most torturous, so she took Chen Yin on a special trip!
For no other reason than to see with my own eyes how the steward here tortures people!
When the two saints brought that ungrateful man over and saw Su Muyan, Bai Si knew something was wrong.
But the pride he had accumulated over the years did not allow him to bow his head in front of Su Muyan.
So, even though he was covered in wounds and limping, he still held his head high with pride. Seeing this scene, Su Muyan didn't know whether she should laugh or what other mood she should feel.
But it doesn't matter, does it?
Anyway, he doesn't have to get himself involved, there will always be someone to ask him to do something.
Without saying a word, Su Muyan signed her name on the indenture and pressed her fingerprints.
He officially sold this ungrateful person to the pawnbroker, and sold him at the lowest price. Before leaving, he also told the manager to take good care of him and make sure he would not be clueless when he returned to the master's house.
Finally, he looked at Bai Si meaningfully. It was this look that made the ungrateful man and the head of the dental clinic feel something was wrong.
So in the following days, Bai Si lived a miserable life. Not only did he wear the roughest clothes, but he also did the dirtiest work.
In short, there is not a single day that is good.
