Chapter 55: Medical and Poison Masters
Lai Hu recovered from the pain and looked at the man in black in front of him with horror, and was about to shout again.
Chen Fenghe immediately took out her dagger and placed it against his throat, saying calmly, "If you dare to scream, I'll send you to hell immediately!"
The dagger gleamed brightly in the night. Lai Hu didn't dare to scream. He said with a sad face, "I... I don't know what you are talking about!"
Without saying anything, Chen Fenghe kicked out again, directly hitting Lai Hu's stomach.
"Ugh!" Lai Hu covered his stomach and groaned again.
"Now you understand? If you don't tell the truth, how about I cut off your tongue first?"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Lai Hu's chin, and put the gleaming dagger against his mouth.
"Wait... wait! I'll tell you! I... I'm secretly hiding in a cave in Black Wind Mountain... It's very, very secret, and only I know the location..."
Shen Fenghe was a little surprised.
She was actually just trying to cheat, but she didn't expect it to really work!
Those bandits were willing to risk their lives to rob Lai Hu. Maybe it was partly out of loyalty, but maybe it was mostly because of money?
Otherwise, if the boss is gone, wouldn't it be good for the second one to be the boss? Why would he come to save others?
Chen Fenghe became interested. It would be a waste not to do such a thing as black-eating-black. Would it be a good thing for those county magistrates and officials who exploited the people?
Chen Fenghe took out a pen and paper from the space, untied the ropes on Lai Hu's hands, and said, "Draw a simple map."
赖虎见有机可乘，一拳就揍了过来，却被沉风荷直接抓住，接着一块布塞进了他嘴里，接着'咔嚓'一声，赖虎的胳膊直接脱臼了。
"Ahhh!" Lai Hu groaned.
The officer guarding the woodshed was sleeping soundly. Hearing the noise, he mumbled, "Hmm? What's that?"
At this time, a cat passed by and took a look.
The officer cursed, "Tsk! It's a damn cat! It meows like a human!"
Chen Fenghe said calmly, "You can still resist, but next time, I can't guarantee that I will spare your life."
Lai Hu now knows that he has met a tough opponent. It might be an enemy who had a grudge against him in the underworld in the past, and this is why he is trying to rob him.
No! He can't die!
Qin Huanhuan, that woman, said that she would use one hundred taels of silver to save him. As long as he was alive and took the opportunity to escape, he could retire and enjoy wealth and glory!
Lai Hu thought about this, and finally used his intact hand to pick up a pen and paper and drew a treasure map for Chen Fenghe.
Without even glancing at it, Chen Fenghe casually placed it in her arms. She then got to the point of today's visit, saying calmly, "Here's a piece of advice for you. When you're in court, it's best to confess truthfully. Well... just say you and Qin Huanhuan were having an affair. If you dare to involve the Shen family's wife, I'll definitely come back and take your life!"
Lai Hu was stunned and looked up at the person who came: "You... who are you?"
Why do you want to protect that woman named Shen?
Chen Fenghe looked at him, suddenly took out a pill, grabbed his chin, forced him to open his mouth, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
After making sure he ate it, she said calmly:
"What I just gave you is a poison called Seven Days Powder. The symptoms will worsen with each day. On the first day, your entire body will itch. On the second day, you'll feel dizzy and dazed. On the third day, your skin will fester. On the fourth day, your hands and feet will become limp. On the fifth day, your flesh and blood will fester further. On the seventh day, you'll suddenly die. And I guarantee that when you die, your flesh and blood will have completely rotted away, leaving only bones. It will be absolutely excruciating. This kind of poison requires an antidote on the third day, and again on the seventh. Otherwise, even Hua Tuo wouldn't be able to save you."
Lai Hu's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he was not sure whether the person in front of him was real or just bluffing.
Chen Fenghe continued, "Do you really think Qin Huanhuan would spend that one hundred taels of silver to bribe the county magistrate and save your life? She's already hooked up with the official, and if she's having an affair with you, if her lover finds out, all her efforts will be in vain, and she'll even lose her last bit of protection. Who do you think she would choose between the official and the bandits? I'm afraid she'd rather see you dead than buried! However, whether you believe it or not is none of my business. If you're willing to obey me, I'll send you the antidote in three days. If not, you can try and see if I'm lying."
After saying that, he tied Lai Hu's hands again, reattached his arms, knocked him unconscious, and went back through the space again.
Few people knew that she was not only a military doctor, but also a master of poison. So, she did not lie to Lai Hu.
Lai Hu didn't believe it at first. If he really did what the man in black said, Qin Huanhuan would never spend the hundred taels of silver to save him!
But on the second day, he really started to itch all over his body. On the third day, just as the man in black said, he developed symptoms of skin ulcers!
Only then did Lai Hu believe what the man in black said!
But... what to do? Will the man in black really give him the antidote today?
By evening, Lai Hu was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night, the man in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Lai Hu kowtowed desperately. He couldn't speak because of the cloth stuffed in his mouth, but he was obviously begging for mercy.
Chen Fenghe took the cloth out of her mouth and said lightly: "It seems that you have thought it through."
Lai Hu nodded and said, "Hero! I will definitely listen to you! Please give me the antidote!"
Chen Fenghe stuffed an antidote into his mouth and said calmly, "This antidote can eliminate the symptoms of poisoning you are experiencing now. However, another antidote is needed on the seventh day to completely eliminate the poison. If you dare to speak nonsense, you should know the consequences!"
After saying that, he left through space.
After finishing this matter, Shen Fenghe calculated the time and thought that they should be able to reach Daming Prefecture on the fifth day. So there was no need to worry about Lai Hu's nonsense.
She planned to wait until she arrived in Daming Prefecture and see if she could buy a handcart.
After traveling these days, she and Qin Mengyue were fine, and gradually got used to the intensity of the journey.
But the three little guys had short legs after all, and it was really hard for them to walk for such a long time without complaining.
Every day she and Qin Mengyue would take turns carrying them for a distance, but it was not a long-term thing.
At first, she was afraid that buying a cart would be too conspicuous and the officials might not allow it.
But she has given so many benefits to the officials these days, so if she asks for leniency, they should turn a blind eye.
As for the people who pushed the cart, she also planned to select one or two reliable and strong men from the prisoners who were exiled with her, and she would hire them to push it.
At worst, she and Qin Mengyue could take turns pushing it.
After making up her mind, she told Qin Mengyue about the plan.
