Xu Erhu was indeed thirsty. He had sweated a lot along the way and needed to replenish water.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhi." Xu Erhu took two glasses of water from the plate, handed one to his brother and kept one for himself.

When he was about to drink it all, Xu Hu stopped him and said, "Erhu, have you forgotten? We, the People's Liberation Army, cannot take a single needle or thread from the masses. Put it down, and we will drink it again when we go back."

After Xu Hu finished speaking, he took the cup of water from Xu Erhu and put it back on the plate along with the cup in his own hand.

"Brother, this is just a glass of water." Xu Erhu looked at his brother's angry expression and asked in confusion, with a hint of grievance in his tone.

Xu Hu said nothing, but shook his head at his brother, turned his back to Li Jianyan and mouthed, "There may be something wrong in the water."

Li Jianyan couldn't see it, but when she saw Xu Hu put the water back in place, she was shocked and her hands shook unconsciously.

Has his poisoning been discovered?

At this moment, Lan Yuqing came over with a sullen face and took away a glass of water.

"Little Black, smell it." Lan Yuqing called her little pet. As soon as she finished speaking, a small black snake swam out from Lan Yuqing's sleeves, its pointed head approached the water cup, and it stretched out its tongue to spit. After a moment, the black snake swung its tail fiercely, and the three cups of water in the plate were immediately overturned.

"Thank you, Xiao Hei." Lan Yuqing touched the little snake's head. The little snake seemed to be quite smart, rubbing its pointed head against its master's fingers, then slithered into her sleeve.

Xiao Hei can accurately identify whether food or water is poisonous. Lan Yuqing started raising it three years ago. At that time, Lan Jiaojiao had already revealed her ambition to become the leader of the clan. Therefore, Lan Yuqing did not tell her niece about Xiao Hei's existence, let alone expose Xiao Hei's keen sense of smell. This is her secret weapon.

"Thank you for the gifts, my dear friends."

Lan Yuqing gave Li Jianyan a warning look, then turned to Xu Hu and Xu Erhu and bowed slightly, "You have worked hard. I should have invited you to dinner, but now there is an urgent matter in the clan, so I can only invite you to dinner another day."

"You're welcome, Chief. These are what we should do."

"Thank you." Lan Yuqing thanked again, "Thank you Xinyue Zhi on my behalf. The gifts she chose are very practical. When I have time, I will go to the island to thank you in person."

After that, Lan Yuqing found an aunt and asked her to take the two volunteers to find the old volunteer first, and then send the three of them to Jingxi Mountain.

As soon as the three of them left, Li Jianyan knew that the truth had been revealed, and she tried to escape by hiding her little body.

However, before he could take a few steps, Lan Yuqing grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. "Still want to run?"

"Little Ji, you have such a vicious mind. You drugged us and remained calm. Your dad asked you to do this, right?" Lan Yuqing found a rope to tie up Li Jianyan and then tied him to the tree.

She didn't believe a child could do such a thing as poisoning, and based on her understanding of Lan Jiaojiao, she knew her niece wouldn't do such a rebellious thing as killing her aunt. That left Li Jian.

Lan Yuqing decided to tie Li Jianyan up here and wait for Li Jian to come.

The clan leader’s house was built high, and Lan Yuqing could see the entire Jingxi Mountain clearly when she stood outside the house.

Lan Yuqing found a long whip, held it in her hand, and stood quietly. She watched Li Jian and Lan Jiaojiao sneak up, and also watched the Xu Hu brothers and Dong Guochang enter the village.

With no outsiders around, Lan Yuqing decided to just shut the door and beat the dog.

"Aunt, why are you still here?" At this moment, Li Jian came panting. She saw Lan Yuqing standing calmly in front of the house and exclaimed.

"How come 놖 is not dead yet?" Lan Yuqing's face was full of disappointment. "It seems that you knew that Li Jianyan wanted to poison 놖. Was it Li Jian who ordered it?"

Lan Yuqing suddenly swung the whip in her hand towards Li Jian.

A man with long hair is useless for fighting, but he has no skills and his body is not flexible enough.

Lan Yuqing whipped Li Jian down, and he couldn't dodge in time. The whip hit him and he cried out in pain.

"Chief, it's not you. You don't know anything. Really. You were sleeping at home all day, and Jiaojiao suddenly showed up and asked you to come up and collect the body. You really don't know anything else."

"It's not you, could it be that your less than seven-year-old son wanted to come?" Lan Yuqing whipped him again.

As the matter turned out, Lan Jiaojiao knew that the truth had been revealed, and hurriedly said, "Aunt, that boy wanted to come here. He wanted your life. He said that as long as you die, you can become the clan leader, and he will be the clan leader's son in the future and can get many treasures."

Lan Jiaojiao was afraid at first, but now facing Lan Yuqing's accusation, she quickly changed sides.

She was afraid of death and pain. She wanted to get herself off as soon as possible.
