“Found it, found it!”
For two consecutive days, Old Qin has been studying the principle of mutual restraint, and today, he finally found it.
"If the juice of the green herb and the red citrus fruit are mixed together, they can produce a poison that is undetectable to humans."
"This poison won't kill you instantly. Instead, it slowly seeps into your body, first causing a fever, then vomiting. The symptoms will become increasingly severe. If no treatment is found, your condition will be the same as if you had died from the disease."
"But this red-smelling fruit... generally grows in the mountains and forests, unless it's brought out of the mountains by humans..."
Old Qin frowned.
"Besides, not to mention that the juice of this red fishy fruit needs to be refined, not only is it the juice, but it also has a fishy smell. Most people would never eat this thing."
If these two plants really are incompatible, why do some people actively eat them? And how do they get them?
"Old Qin, don't forget that there are also green vegetables in the mountains. If someone had watered the green vegetables with the branches and leaves of the red fruit earlier, wouldn't they have achieved their goal?"
"But we can't be sure yet whether this is the cause. We need to investigate further."
If this is not the reason, they must find the source of the disease as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she worried...
Jiang Wan frowned. The sooner this matter was resolved, the better. If it was delayed any longer, there would probably be more and more patients and things would become more and more troublesome.
"Girl, you're right."
Old Qin was busy researching the antidote to the disease, so there was nothing for Jiang Wan to do here. She simply said a few words to Manager Chen and left Huichuntang.
Shen Qiwen had gone to the town with her two days ago. After seeing County Magistrate Liang, he said goodbye to him in a hurry and no one knew where he went.
When Zhang Xiaoyun saw her when he returned home, he hurried over.
"Wanwan, you're finally back. I was so worried about you when you weren't home these past two days."
"I heard something happened in town recently and a lot of patients appeared. Are you okay?"
Zhang Xiaoyun looked around her and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.
"It's okay. Although I've been staying in Huichun Hall for the past two days, I've been staying in the backyard and haven't been to the front yard. Besides, there are people burning mugwort in the backyard every day, but it hasn't affected me."
There was one more thing she didn't say. If it was really poisoning, these diseases would not be contagious, so there would be no need to worry at all.
Jiang Wan sat down in the yard and saw the full medicine shelf not far away. A hint of shock flashed in her eyes.
"Did you pick these from the mountains?"
Zhang Xiaoyun touched his head.
"Yes, I saw that you haven't been home for the past two days, and you are not good at needlework. I can't just sit at home and do nothing, so I went to the mountain to pick some herbs."
"These are all collected according to my memory. Can you see if there are any mistakes?"
Jiang Wan was already standing in front of the shelves and saw that she had picked the right herbs, and she had also handled them very well.
Although they are just some common medicinal herbs, it is not easy to keep them in their original appearance.
"Xiaoyun, you are very talented."
"Wanwan, stop teasing me."
Zhang Xiaoyun spoke a little embarrassedly.
"I'm not mocking you, I'm actually praising you. You do have a talent for identifying medicines."
Some of the herbs she had only stepped on once before, but Zhang Xiaoyun remembered them all. Isn't that because she has a good memory?
"real?"
"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?"
That's true. Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed across Zhang Xiaoyun's face.
This also meant that she was finally useful and not the useless girl her stepmother had described her as.
She can also earn money to support herself with her own hands.
Her eyes fell on Jiang Wan. All of this was brought to her by Wanwan.
After collecting so many herbs, Jiang Wan sat down, found the pestle, and started grinding the herbs.
Grinding medicinal materials requires patience, and this sitting can last an entire afternoon.
"Bang—"
There was a sudden loud noise at the door, and the door was opened roughly.
Cheng Shuang ran in from outside.
"Jiang Wan, this is bad. Jiang Hao was playing at the foot of the mountain, but when I turned around I couldn't find him—"
"What?"
Jiang Wan stood up suddenly and looked at Cheng Shuang with sharp eyes.
When he met her eyes, Cheng Shuang quickly lowered his eyes, his eyes flickering.
"Jiang, Jiang Hao is missing."
Jiang Wan strode towards the door. Su Yun wanted to walk out of the house, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaoyun.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go out and take a look."
Su Yun's belly is getting a little bigger, so she can't go out and take risks.
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoyun walked out without stopping.
"Wanwan, what are you doing?"
Jiang Wan walked to the door and remembered something. She moved closer and said a few words to Zhang Xiaoyun.
"Don't worry, I'll go right away."
Cheng Shuang was far away and didn't hear clearly what they said. When he got closer, he saw that Zhang Xiaoyun had straightened up and Jiang Wan had shut up.
"you--"
"The message has been delivered, why don't you leave?"
Hearing Jiang Wan's words, Cheng Shuang's face instantly fell.
"Tsk! You really don't know how to appreciate a good person. I came to tell you this with good intentions, and you actually chased me away!"
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have told you! I'd have let Jiang Hao die in the mountains!"
Jiang Wan's face instantly darkened. "Cheng Shuang, it's best to be polite with your words. Besides, did my little brother really get lost on his own?"
