Chapter 99: Cut into pieces
Helian Zhi had indeed gone to the well to fetch water, and Xia Er Lao Ye's wife, Dong, had also gone to the well...
Rather than letting them believe that a young girl poisoned the people, they would rather believe that it was Helian Zhi, who had been on the battlefield, and Dong, the woman in the harem, who did it.
Xia Xing'er looked at their wavering appearance and kindly reminded them again: "You don't have much time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like the horn of impending death, making everyone's heart tighten, as if their lives were entering a countdown.
Helian Heng looked at his son with red eyes, "Zhi'er, did you do this? If you did, quickly get the antidote out."
Helian Zhi had never thought that his own father would doubt him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I have the ability to do this now?"
Helian Heng suddenly thought that his son and daughter-in-law did not drink the water just now. Apart from his unconscious old wife, he was the only one in the family who drank it.
Thinking of this, he now disregarded the father-son relationship: "Search him. If he did it, he must have the antidote on him. He didn't even drink a sip of the water just now."
When their lives were hanging by a thread, no one cared anymore about who was whose father, who was whose son, or who was whose wife. They just wanted to find the antidote and to stay alive.
Helian Zhi wanted to save his family members, but not anyone else's lives.
"Dad, stop talking nonsense. Brother Zhi would never do such a thing."
A group of people surrounded Helian Zhi and pushed him around, and Ye Qingyu felt heartbroken.
The group of people stripped Helian Zhi naked, but did not find the antidote. The crazy people turned their attention to other members of the Helian family.
Ye Qingyu and Helian Rong's faces turned pale. These people had gone crazy and would not listen to them at all. They didn't want to be stripped naked by everyone.
Ye Qingyu anxiously cried out in her heart: "System, system, please come out quickly, how quickly, please think of a solution for me quickly, I don't want to be stripped naked in public."
The Devouring System cursed frantically in its mind: "This host I'm bound to this time is really stupid. I have to blame it for everything. If it weren't for my lack of energy, I would definitely change the host immediately."
Ye Qingyu looked at the person getting closer and closer, her voice filled with tears, and she frantically called out to the system in her heart, "System, please find a solution quickly. If I'm not well, I can't help you complete the task. Please help me quickly."
Devouring System: "This is the medicine that can cure all poisons. Give it to them. You owe the system one thousand points. Earn them quickly, otherwise you will be punished."
Ye Qingyu only heard the first half of the sentence. The medicine bag that suddenly appeared in her hand could cure all poisons, and she selectively forgot the rest.
She threw the medicine bag in her hand away without thinking.
"The antidote is there, go pick it up yourself!"
The medicine powder in the paper bag drew a graceful arc in the air. Xia Xing'er's eyes flashed, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She flicked her finger lightly, and as if pulled by an invisible force, the medicine bag whooshed and shot towards the well like an arrow.
Everyone's eyes followed closely, so nervous that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the packet of powder fell precisely into the well, stirring up tiny but clear ripples, which then slowly dissipated into the deep well water, leaving only sighs of astonishment and anxiety echoing at the wellside.
Xia Xing'er glanced at them sideways and said, "What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and get some water. If each of you drinks a bucket or two, the poison will be cured."
She had just thrown two detoxification pills into the well when no one was paying attention.
It is not easy for people here to dig wells, as one well is used by more than a dozen families.
This well is not only used by the people at the post station, but also by the villagers nearby who draw water from it. She doesn't want to involve the poor people, after all, the people are innocent.
But it didn't stop her from tormenting these people. She didn't want them to be detoxified so easily. She was not a saint.
The more severe the struggle, the more miserable the future life of Helian Zhi's family will be. I hope they can hold on and reach the place of exile.
Thinking of this, she thought of the unconscious Madam Helian.
I still have to find a time to wake her up, and let her wake up and watch how her proud son is bullied.
This is more exciting than letting her die. Yes, she just wants to watch the show.
But she really didn't expect that the person who poisoned them would be Helian Zhi. She had wanted to kill this bastard for a long time.
But when she thought of the torture she had suffered in her previous life, she felt that letting him die like this would be too easy for him, and she had to let him suffer to the fullest before dying.
However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. She thought of the poison she bought from the trading machine last time, which she had not had time to use. This time, she gave it to him for free. It would be his honor to let him have a taste of it.
She found a packet of poison called Guagua powder from a pile of poisons, and used her spiritual power to control the powder and sprinkle it on Helian Zhi.
Once the powder touches the skin, it quickly penetrates into the skin.
All that’s left is to wait and see.
As soon as Xia Xing'er finished speaking, everyone rushed to the well to draw water to drink.
They took out almost anything that could collect water. If the well mouth was not too small for people to get down, they would probably have to jump in to drink.
For a moment, the sound of drinking water was heard everywhere.
The bucket rope whirred on the derrick, and every pull was accompanied by the creaking of wood and the sharp friction of the rope, as if angry sparks were about to fly at any time.
Everyone was either squatting or standing, holding the rope tightly with both hands, their faces full of anxiety and desire, their eyes fixed on the wooden barrel that was slowly rising and gradually filled with clear well water.
Water splashed around the wellhead, occasionally splashing on people's faces, bringing a hint of coolness, but it did not alleviate the anxiety and panic in everyone's hearts at all.
As the buckets were lifted again and again, the well water gradually became turbid, but no one cared. They were only focused on drinking the "nectar" that could save them from the dire straits.
A quarter of an hour later, those who drank the well water were not poisoned. Just when they thought that the poison Xia Xing'er said was not that strong, a member of the Xia family who did not drink the water fell straight down.
He vomited blood, his face turned purple at a terrifying speed, and he died after struggling for only a few breaths.
Third Uncle collapsed to the ground, holding the kettle in his arms, and took a few big gulps with trembling hands before he felt relieved.
The rest of the people were also frightened.
Some people drink until their stomachs feel like pregnant women, and they stop and stand aside to drink slowly until they can't drink anymore.
Gong Jue now feels like his stomach is full of water. If it wasn't the poison, why would he suffer this pain?
For a moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent when he looked at Helian Zhi. He wished he could cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
