Chapter 172 Soul Devouring Powder
In the past, a mere 1 or 2 taels of silver wouldn't have been enough to make these fugitives even raise their eyelids.
But now on the road of exile, this one or two taels of silver is not a small amount.
One tael of silver is enough to buy a lot of food.
Moreover, most of them are exiled in families, with each person earning one or two taels per day. The income from these six or seven days is definitely considerable.
"Yes, of course!" The prisoners answered one after another when they heard it.
They knew clearly that this was Harley Quinn doing good for everyone.
Although the Third Prince had no money at the moment and was extremely vicious, given his status and position, he would definitely not be able to evade the debt.
After hearing what everyone said, a scornful smile appeared on the third prince's lips.
Sure enough, money makes the world go round.
I am clearly the enemy of this group of people, but for a little money, they still abandon their moral integrity and dignity without hesitation.
Of course, he was also sure that these useless convicts would not dare to do anything to him.
If anything happens to me, it will be a heinous crime punishable by the death of my entire clan!
"Then can I buy some more food?" The third prince thought for a moment and then pressed the issue.
Shen Wan didn’t even think about it, and nodded directly: “No problem, one hundred taels of silver for a bag of coarse grains.”
"We also have oil, salt, and various seasonings. If you need anything, just let me know. Just write me an IOU!"
When Zhao heard this, she immediately screamed, "Are you crazy?"
"It's just a bag of coarse grains, and you want a hundred taels?"
One hundred taels of silver was enough for her father's annual salary.
This ugly woman must have committed highway robbery when she was at the border, otherwise how could she have the courage to say that.
Shen Wan squinted her eyes and asked with a fake smile: "It's the Third Prince who wants to do business with me, why are you so excited here?"
"Could it be that she's feeling amorous again?" The first-rate criminal laughed out loud upon hearing this. "What a pity, I didn't even take a piss to look at myself."
"You're already old, and only Scarface can make do with you."
"You still want to get close to the Third Prince? Dream on!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the prisoners burst into laughter.
Ever since the caning, Shen Yan lay on the ground in pain, motionless, and didn't want to talk to anyone.
Although she was full of resentment towards the Third Prince, upon hearing these words, she still raised her head and fixed her sinister gaze like a venomous snake on Zhao's face.
Although she is old, one has to admit that Zhao is still beautiful, noble and charming.
If she deliberately wanted to hook up with the third prince and have a casual relationship with him, there is still hope.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan spat viciously.
Zhao's face turned pale and she said in horror, "No... I didn't..."
Having said that, her heart still couldn't help but move slightly.
"Do you want it or not?" Shen Wan interrupted her coldly, looking up at the Third Prince, "To tell you the truth, I don't have much rice left."
"If we sell you this bag of rice, we'll have to mix it with wild vegetables to eat."
One hundred taels is one hundred taels, it’s not an astronomical figure.
The third prince thought about it and directly wrote an IOU for one thousand and two taels of silver.
"Except for the wages of these few days, the rest will be exchanged for food."
After hearing this, Shen Wan took a pile of food down from the car.
Looking at the half-worn carriage, the third prince couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.
The carriage is indeed not small, but how much can it carry?
This ugly woman took out so much, will she have anything to eat in the future?
Could it be that she has magic and can create things out of thin air?
Thinking of this, the third prince's heart tightened.
If she could make things appear out of thin air, couldn't she also make them disappear?
If this is true, then the incidents with the national treasury and the saltpeter mine must have been done by this ugly woman!
Thinking of this, his eyes became even sharper.
"Move out quickly, the old valley master and I are busy." Shen Wan put the things on the ground and glanced at Shen Yan with a squint. "If I can't cure this poison, some people will have no chance of survival!"
When Shen Yan heard this, her face turned pale with fright.
She doesn't want to die.
If he died at this time, wouldn't that be a waste for the Zhao family?
As the night deepened, the cold moon in the sky became exceptionally bright.
A group of convicts took the money and joined the army of house builders.
Shen Wan handed the place over to Xie Mubai and Ling Shu, while she and the old Valley Master sat not far away to study the Soul Devouring Powder.
The toxicity of this drug is too complicated, and the results of almost every test are different.
"How about this? You shouldn't take the toxin suppressant medicine for now." The old valley master frowned and said, "Sometimes when symptoms appear, it may be easier to prescribe the right medicine."
"Besides, your toxin-inhibiting medication has too many side effects on your body. It's best to stop it temporarily."
Shen Wan frowned slightly.
"Okay." She thought for a moment and said, "But you have to keep an eye on me these few days. I'm afraid I'll get sick again and hurt innocent people."
"If all else fails, we'll fight fire with fire."
"Also, don't tell my man about this. I'm afraid he'll worry."
The old valley master nodded.
If all else fails, he'll have to take her to a cave far away from human habitation.
If this poison breaks out, it can really be fatal.
In the next few days, Shen Wan really didn’t take the medicine anymore.
As soon as the medicine was stopped, the dormant toxins in the blood woke up like a demon.
Shen Wan desperately tried to control her emotions, kept a safe distance from people, and even stopped sleeping with the villain.
Seeing the manic emotion in her eyes, Xie Mubai became more and more worried.
"Don't steal my fruit, it's for Big Girl!" Suddenly, Erbao's angry little voice came from not far away.
Shen Wan turned around and saw a guard holding a bright red fruit.
Erbao's eyes were red, and he rushed towards the guard's legs like a madman.
He was so small that the bastard just raised his leg and kicked him to the ground.
Shen Wan's eyes turned red, and the restless blood in her body began to boil again.
She rushed forward and kicked the guard directly.
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the guard's body flew high into the air.
If he hadn't prepared some soil to build a house, today would probably be the last day of his life.
In a trance, the villain seemed to see the bloodthirsty evil woman from the past again.
Just as Shen Wan was about to rush forward to give him another kick, she heard Xie Mubai's cold voice: "Wan'er, come here."
The cold voice flowed slowly like a clear spring, and Shen Wan became much more sober in an instant.
She glared at the guard hatefully before turning and walking towards the villain.
"The poison in your body... has taken effect again?" Xie Mubai asked after a moment of hesitation.
Shen Wan took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
"The old valley master said he's found a solution." She thought for a moment and said, "But the detoxification process is extremely complicated, and his medical skills can't be passed on to others, so he wants me to move to a nearby cave and live there for a few days."
That's right, she can't stay here any longer.
If the villain hadn't spoken just now, I would have been in trouble again.
Xie Mubai looked at her and gently stroked her long, smooth hair: "Then I'll accompany you."
"We are researching detoxification, not going there for fun." Shen Wan forced a smile, "You don't know how beautiful you are. I can't concentrate on my research when I see your face."
"Also, we can't leave you here."
"The Third Prince is wary of me and the old Valley Master. If you're not here to keep him in check, he's probably going to do something weird again."
A trace of worry flashed across Xie Mubai's eyes, and he held her hand tightly: "Is there any danger?"
"What danger could there be!" Chen Wan said with a smile, "With the old Valley Master here, the worst-case scenario is that things will remain the same."
Having said that, Xie Mubai's heart was still hanging in the air.
"Then be careful." He thought for a moment and warned.
Shen Wan nodded.
She gave Lingshu a few more instructions before going to the cave with the old valley master.
The cave was extremely dark and deep. After walking about ten meters, an iron cage suddenly appeared in front of us.
"Have you thought it through?" asked the old valley master, looking at the rusty iron cage.
Shen Wan nodded.
"This is very dangerous." The old valley master frowned slightly. "The method you mentioned of fighting poison with poison is indeed feasible, but if you are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous."
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Even if I don't take this gamble, I won't live for many years."
The book says that the original owner died a year after arriving in the Northwest.
I originally thought she was sick, but now I think she must have died of poisoning.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, the old valley master nodded: "Okay, you can go in."
After hearing this, Shen Wan resolutely walked into the cold iron cage.
As soon as he entered, the old valley master locked the iron cage with an iron chain as thick as his wrist.
