Chapter 287 Dead Wood Poison
Dieyin came out of the bedroom after hearing the sound of the door closing. The living room had been cleaned up and the cake was nowhere to be seen. It must have been thrown away by Liu Chenan.
I don’t know what’s wrong with him today
Dieyin’s forehead throbbed every time she thought about it. She went to the bathroom to wash her face. When she turned around to look for her mask, she suddenly remembered that the mask had been taken away by Liu Chenan.
She lowered her head irritably, turned around for a while, and leaned her back against the sink. There were still drops of water on her face. I don’t know if there was water in her eyes, and there were a few red bloodshot eyes.
Today was an accident, Dieyin thought, it should be difficult to encounter it again in the future, just like the past five years.
The cold wind outside kept coming in through a crack in the window, causing the temperature of the originally steaming room to drop rapidly.
Lu Jingshu was unaware of anything, lying on the sofa, wearing only a thin white sweater, with her eyes closed as if she was asleep, holding an English book in her hand, without a cover, so it was impossible to tell what it was about.
Chu Mian closed the window quietly, turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, and then walked to the sofa, bent down and put his hand under Lu Jingshu's waist. As soon as he moved, she opened her eyes, her eyes clear.
Chu Mian curled his lips, exerted force with his arms, and Lu Jingshu was lifted horizontally from the sofa: "Go to bed, otherwise you will catch a cold."
Lu Jingshu was not used to being held by others, and wanted to get down and walk by herself.
Chu Mian hugged her tighter, without saying anything, and walked to the bedroom with long legs, and put her on the clean white bed, with her long hair spread on the pillow like a waterfall.
He looked at Lu Jingshu closely, and the affection in his eyes, the relief of regaining what he had lost, made Lu Jingshu's eyes move.
Chu Mian leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, as if he was afraid of scaring her, as if he was treating a fragile treasure, he lightly touched and then retreated, just like a dragonfly touching the water.
The two did not speak for a long time.
He took the book from her hand and glanced at it inadvertently, as if he saw the word "dead wood poison"...
Chu Mian put it on the bedside table and said softly: "Pharmacology"
Lu Jingshu lay flat on the bed, tilted her head to watch his movements, and said after hearing him: "Well..., almost."
Chu Mian walked around to the other side of the bed, took off his coat, lay flat beside her, and put his hands in his arms.
Lu Jingshu suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of the dead wood poison?"
Thinking of the words she had just glanced at, "I've heard of it a little."
"The dead wood poison is very toxic, but people will only immediately take action when their blood is stained with this poison, fainting on the spot, and it is no different from death, which is what people often call a state of suspended animation. If there is no rescue measure after half an hour, they will really die." Lu Jingshu spoke for a long time. Chu
Mian continued, "So people often think that the poisoned person is dead, and miss the best time for treatment, thus creating the illusion that the dead wood poison is certain to die."
Lu Jingshu looked up at him. Chu Mian's hand, which often held the scalpel, was covered with a thin layer of silk, and his fingertips were rough, gently rubbing her cheek.
"Few people in the world know about this poison," she said, "including me."
"I didn't know that once you are poisoned by the dead wood, even if you are treated within half an hour, the usual treatments won't work at all."
Chu Mian was surprised: "If it doesn't work, then you can only wait to die."
Lu Jingshu shook her head: "There is another thing, it is interdependent with the dead wood poison, it is called spring medicine."
Her expression was deep, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Only when the two are used together can the effect of the dead wood coming back to life be achieved.
Chu Mian repeated in confusion: "Spring medicine"
Lu Jingshu said: "Spring medicine will dissolve when it comes into contact with water and will not leave any traces. After being poisoned by the dead wood, only by taking the spring medicine immediately, even if you don't get treatment, the poisoned person will slowly recover."
It was the first time that Chu Mian heard that "this medicine is so magical"
She only knew about this poison after trying every means to investigate a lot of information in recent years.
Lu Jingshu hummed and said, "You may have heard about Ye Sheng's case."
"Yes, I heard about it."
Chu Mian's voice was low and hoarse. He tightened his hand and rubbed her soft head with his fingertips.
Lu Jingshu turned sideways and changed to a more comfortable position. She spoke again: "Ye Sheng is not dead. She was poisoned by the dead wood."
Chu Mian looked at her and figured out something in an instant: "You mean..."
Lu Jingshu: "Die Yin shot her twice at that time. One bullet was soaked in the dead wood poison, so Ye Sheng was immediately in a state of suspended animation after being shot. Later, I took out the second bullet from her body."
She only said this.
Chu Mian understood immediately, and her thoughts coincided with his: "You suspect that the second bullet was soaked in aphrodisiac by Die Yin beforehand."
Lu Jingshu did not answer, leaving only the sound of slow and shallow breathing.
After a while, she said: "I'm not sure. Maybe this bullet was really just because she was afraid that Ye Sheng was not dead, so she shot him again, but..."
Lu Jingshu stopped, she tried her best to not bring subjective emotions, and objectively stated the matter, and considered her words again and again, fearing that she would inadvertently guide Chu Mian's judgment because of a word with personal emotions.
Think of all the possibilities of Die Yin's intentions.
Chu Mian looked down and saw her expression, then said it for her: "But half an hour later, Ye Sheng was still in a state of suspended animation, and even survived later. Is that right?"
Lu Jingshu: "Yes."
"So there is only one possibility, that is, someone used the aphrodisiac on Ye Sheng in advance, and this person is very likely Lu Siyin. In addition, you saw Dieyin today, who has a figure very similar to Lu Siyin, so you suspect that Dieyin is Lu Siyin."
Lu Jingshu: "..."
"But it is also possible that Dieyin is not Lu Siyin, but Lu Siyin heard the news and secretly managed to replace Dieyin's bullets in advance." she said.
Chu Mian said, "No matter what, at least it can be said that Lu Siyin is indeed still alive, and may have a lot of connections with the federal government. So as long as we keep looking, we will find him."
Lu Jingshu finally smiled, and she said "hmm" softly.
Chu Mian reached out to tuck the quilt behind her back, rubbed the red corners of Lu Jingshu's eyes, and said, "Go to sleep, your eyes are red from staying up all night."
Lu Jingshu closed her eyes.
...
The next day was the last day of the competition. Logically, after the result of the duel between King and Chi came out, there would be nothing left for the two of them. After all, no one had dared to challenge them for so many years.
But this time, a warrior finally appeared. He was still an unknown person, but he declared in front of all the media that he would challenge Chi. This time, he would definitely replace her and beat her up so badly that she would cry and scream.
He was so arrogant that he could kill people...
Of course, when he said this, he was ridiculed by many people who admired Chi.
But afterwards, the warrior gladly accepted everyone's provocation, and the result was that he had to be respected. He really beat those people up so badly that they cried and screamed. It seemed that he was more than just a few tricks.
Another strong player has suddenly appeared in the ring. Maybe he will have a place in the underground alliance soon.
The duel between him and Chi has also increased expectations.
