Chapter 353 Poisoned
Yuan Zhenkuan and Huomazi were drinking in the house.
"Uncle, I got some good wine from the innkeeper Gong. My sisters don't drink, so I thought of you when I had no one to accompany me. I hope you won't dislike me!"
"Mr. Yuan, what you said is true. It's my honor that you remember me!" Huomazi was also very happy.
The two of them drank happily with the snacks.
After a few drinks, Huo Ma Zi started talking more.
He told Yuan Zhenkuan that for ordinary medicinal materials, he could go to "Yu Ji Tang", for medium-quality ones, he could go to "Jiucao Tang", but if he wanted to buy good medicine that was not available in the market, he had to find Aunt Chonglou in "Guishan Tower".
She was the first person to arrive here. It can be said that she built this town single-handedly, so she is highly respected. Now she has the final say in all matters in this town.
"I see. The name of the business 'Ghost Fan' sounds a bit scary!" Yuan Zhenkuan thought, it might be some kind of medicine. Anyway, the shops and people here all like to use the names of medicinal materials.
"You don't know this, but your sister definitely knows. Maybe you even have one growing in your yard!"
"So, it's flowers?"
"Exactly. Of course it can be used as medicine."
"I see. You are really knowledgeable!" Yuan Zhenkuan started by flattering him.
"This kid's mouth is filled with honey! Come on, do it!"
"Cheers!" Yuan Zhenkuan filled his glass.
"By the way, are you looking for some medicine? I can help you ask around." Huo Mazi asked.
It is common for many people to come here to seek special or rare medicines.
"Oh, that's not the case. My sister is a doctor. When we traveled here, we heard that this place has good medicine, so we thought of coming here to take a look and collect some to take back." Yuan Zhenkuan replied.
"Then I'll introduce him to you tomorrow."
"Really? Thank you, uncle! Don't worry, you have put in the effort and it will not be in vain." Yuan Zhenkuan handed over a silver ingot weighing five taels.
"How can this be good..."
"Take it, take it. We have enough money. If we find good medicine, we may come here often in the future and rely on you to take care of us!" Yuan Zhenkuan clapped his hands and performed two Tai Chi moves.
Huo Mazi put the silver into his arms.
The two were drinking happily when suddenly there was movement on the roof.
Yuan Zhenkuan didn't have the time, but Huo Mazi did, so he opened the door and jumped out.
Then I saw a man rolling down from the roof.
But the man did not rush into the house or escape. Instead, he fell to the ground and rolled far away without even standing up.
Huo Mazi went forward to check, and Yuan Zhenkuan also peeked through the door. When he saw something terrible, he called out, "Sister Siyan!"
Huo Mazi also recognized Siyan, so he asked, "Why are you here?"
But no one responded, and the person had lost consciousness.
He turned his head to look at the roof, afraid that there was someone there, so he jumped onto the eaves to check, but saw no one.
Yuan Zhenkuan supported Siyan: "Sister Siyan! What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Huo Mazi came closer to take a closer look and saw that her face was gray and her lips were dark blue. He immediately said, "She's been poisoned!"
Yuan Zhenkuan was shocked when he heard this. He turned around, carried Siyan on his back, and hurried to find Feng Aoqing.
Huomazi followed Yuan Zhenkuan and saw him enter the inn. After thinking about it, he went to Guishan Tower to report.
In his opinion, these four people were not simple people, so it would be better to report them to avoid getting into any trouble.
Yuan Zhenkuan carried Siyan on his back and started shouting from outside the inn: "Sister! Sister! Poisoned! Poisoned!"
Feng Aoqing and An Jinge had heard the sound before they saw anyone.
An Jinge jumped down from the second floor and took the person in.
"Who did it?" she asked, frowning.
In her heart, there was only Feng Aoqing, and she was afraid that someone would come after her.
However, Yuan Zhenkuan didn't know.
"She rolled down from the roof and couldn't be woken up. I didn't see her. It was Huo Mazi who said she was poisoned." Although Yuan Zhenkuan was worried and panicked, he still explained the matter clearly in one sentence.
An Jinge was stronger than him, so he took the person and jumped directly from the first floor to the second floor and helped him into the room.
Feng Aoqing has already opened the door.
The noise of the few people had attracted the attention of the innkeeper Gong. He said to Yuan Zhenkuan, who was still staring blankly downstairs, "Sir, I think he touched something he shouldn't have touched. I'll go get a healer..."
"No need, my sister is a doctor." Yuan Zhenkuan saluted him and ran upstairs.
"Si Yan!" Feng Aoqing patted Si Yan's shoulder.
Siyan closed her eyes and did not respond.
"He was fine when I went out just now." An Jinge recalled.
"Impossible. Tougu Town is a place for business. There are some small traps, but it is impossible for them to place such a strong poison." Feng Aoqing shook his head.
An Jinge locked Yuan Zhenkuan outside the door: "You guard the door, I'll leave the running to you, I want to protect them."
"Okay, got it!" Yuan Zhenkuan nodded quickly and sat down next to their door.
The innkeeper Gong came upstairs and asked timidly, "I think this is a deadly poison! Is that so? No one has ever died in this inn. If someone dies..."
"What? In this situation, you still want to kick us out?!" Yuan Zhenkuan stood up and clenched his fists.
"No! If anything happens, how can I continue my business?" Shopkeeper Gong said in embarrassment.
"You can't escape death here! Who knows if yours is a black shop that caused my sister to be poisoned! Let me tell you! If anything happens to her, you will be responsible for it!" Yuan Zhenkuan shouted.
"You're going too far! You're not the only one staying at this hotel..."
"If you keep farting here, I'll let you hear something even worse!"
"you!"
The door opened, and three gold ingots rolled out of the room. An Jinge also shouted, "Get out!"
"The capital of your shabby inn is at most three hundred taels, which is enough for you to open five more shabby inns! Get out!" Yuan Zhenkuan kicked the gold ingot far away.
When Manager Gong saw the gold, he was speechless and could only pick up the gold ingot and go downstairs.
There was no outsider in the room, and An Jinge knew her situation, so Feng Aoqing took some spiritual spring water from the room and fed it to her to save her life, but she still didn't wake up.
Feng Aoqing then undressed her to check.
If they had eaten it, all of them would have been poisoned, but now she is the only one here, which means there are other ways of contact.
She checked him from head to toe.
But there were no wounds above or below.
Feng Aoqing thought about it and then pulled her hair apart to take a look. Only then did she realize that there was a damage just above the hairline behind her ear.
"It was still bitten by a poisonous insect." Feng Aoqing used tweezers to remove the mouthparts that were broken off in the wound.
"Can it be cured?" An Jinge asked.
"Yes." Feng Aoqing nodded.
Fortunately, I knew it was a poisonous insect at the time, so I looked at the species carefully and wrote them down. I could tell by the shape of its mouthparts.
Feng Aoqing hurried to prepare medicine and feed it to Siyan.
However, the person who should have woken up in two minutes did not wake up.
