The "Three Insects and Three Flowers Poison" does not mean that it is made from three poisonous insects and three poisonous flowers. On the contrary, the three insects are poisons and the three flowers are antidotes. The three insects refer to vipers, red spiders, and scorpions, all of which are extremely cold in nature. After poisoning, the toxins quickly spread to the five internal organs.
When the blood is completely covered by grayish-brown patches, the poisoned person will die.
Moreover, their deaths were extremely gruesome.
The reason why the person who concocted this medicine dared to openly name it as both a poison and an antidote, and made no attempt to conceal the fact that the poisoned person should seek out the antidote, is precisely because the required 'three flowers' all grow in vastly different places and are extremely difficult to find.
The poison takes effect in just one hour.
Even if they knew the antidote, they could only suffer endless torment and die.
She initially thought it was just a muscle or bone injury in her leg, but she never expected it to be caused by poisoning, and such a deadly poison at that.
Su Hua frowned as she looked at the calm-faced man in front of her.
When were you poisoned?
Xiao Jinhan is still safe and sound, but his right leg is not walking properly, which means that from the beginning of the poisoning, he used special acupuncture or other methods to force all the poison to his leg.
“A month ago.” The man’s eyes were deep, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. “Miss Su is indeed a hidden talent. The divine physician of the Great Yu Dynasty said that only a few people in the world recognized this poison, but Miss Su knew it in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Next time I see that old man, I will definitely ask him if he is lying.”
"You're still laughing?" Su Hua caught a glimpse of the smile on the man's face and was immediately exasperated.
"Do you know that this poison is deadly? As long as the poison is not neutralized, even if it is suppressed, you will only have a year to live. At that time, you will die with blood flowing from your seven orifices and all your internal organs rotting!"
"I know." Xiao Jinhan's smile faded slightly as he put his hands behind his back.
The sound he uttered carried a chill.
“But in this world, even my closest relatives and brothers wish me dead. It seems that being dead is no worse than being alive.”
Su Hua looked up at the sound and saw the man standing under the shade of a tree. The golden sunlight shone on him, but it still couldn't illuminate his loneliness.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have never truly understood him.
His closest relatives and siblings wished for his death?
He was referring to the Xiao family.
Wasn't she like that once?
He was abandoned by his father while he was in his mother's womb, and abandoned by his mother after he was born. When he was seven years old, he almost died in the cowshed from fern poisoning. The neighbors in the village called his father, the only person they could contact. On the other end of the phone, they heard the crying of a little baby, along with the words: "If he dies, he dies. It's easier if he dies."
At that moment, she also felt that dying might not be any worse than living.
But she's tough.
Even Heaven is unwilling to accept it.
I stumbled and struggled my way to twenty-seven.
But in those years, living was just living.
It wasn't until a car accident led her to meet Su Baishi in this strange world that she first learned what it felt like to be cherished and pampered, and that this world wasn't just cold and indifferent, but also had people who doted on you deeply.
For the first time, I felt that being alive is truly wonderful.
The girl looked up and called out to the man's back, "Red Cloud, Cloud Lotus, Soul Broken."
"Hmm?" The man turned around, his delicate features seemingly filled with a sense of desolation.
"This Three Insects and Three Flowers Poison, although almost incurable, is not a dead end. As long as you find Red Cloud, Cloud Lotus, and Soul Severance, I can cure you."
Su Hua wasn't good at comforting people, so she took the man's hand and led him out of the shade and into the sunlight.
He raised his finger to the sky.
"Look, there are times when the rain pours down, and there are times when the sun shines brightly after the rain. As long as you are alive, there is hope, there is possibility, and there will be a day when things take a turn for the better!" The girl looked at the man, her almond-shaped eyes rippling with emotion.
“Not everyone in this world is qualified to be a parent, let alone a sibling. Since Old Lady Xiao and the others don’t want you, that’s fine. From now on, our Su family will take you!”
Anyway, she already has a jade-devouring space to feed, let alone another mouth to feed!
Furthermore, given Su Bai's recent fondness for Xiao Jinhan, she would probably be happy to have another son.
Moreover, this man is so good-looking that he's a pleasure to look at even just sitting at home.
You definitely won't regret it!
The man looked up at the girl in the sunlight. She seemed more dazzling and scorching than the sunlight in the sky. The brilliance in her eyes, the smile on her lips, and the warmth of her fingertips were like a hot branding iron, branding his heart, which was about to fall silent.
He suddenly saw a tender green seedling rising abruptly from the top of the wall of his heart.
“Since you were poisoned a month ago, we still have eleven months to find the medicinal ingredient.” The girl pondered and looked at the rolling mountains behind the house. “Among them, Red Cloud grows mostly on high mountains. We can find an opportunity to go into Fuhu Mountain to look for it.”
The three flowers and three insects are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.
Among them, Hongxiao and Viper are a pair.
Vipers mostly live in high mountains, and outside the caves where vipers live, there are red trumpet flowers.
This flower has bright red petals and a strong fragrance in its center. Now in March, the trees in Fuhu Mountain are growing and mostly green. As long as there are red flowers among them, they can be spotted at a glance. It is the easiest of the three flowers to find as a medicinal ingredient.
As for the other two ingredients: Yunlian and Hunduan.
Cloud Lotus grows on the summit of snow-capped mountains, drinking in the clouds and mist all day long. Soul Broken, on the other hand, grows in the abyss of the desert, exposed to the scorching sun for years. Once a person enters the desert, their chances of survival are extremely slim, let alone finding Soul Broken. Therefore, it is the most difficult medicinal ingredient to find among the three flowers.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinhan paused for a moment, then pondered, "There is a snow-capped mountain in the southern border region of Dayu. As for the Soul-Severing Flower, half of the western Rong territory is desert, so perhaps it can be found there. Miss Su, do you know what these three medicinal herbs look like? I can ask the old men in the military camp to inquire about them first."
"Old man?" Su Hua asked slightly.
The old man he was talking about was the old military doctor he had just mentioned.
When she heard him say that he massages the legs of military dogs all day long, she thought he was raising dogs in the military camp!
As the old saying goes, "When a person leaves, the tea grows cold." Now that he has been away from the military camp for so long, he can still command the military doctor there. He is probably not just a simple soldier who takes care of dogs. He is the one who is truly hiding his true abilities.
"Does Young Master Xiao have any paper and pen here?" Su Hua steadied herself.
She has had a good memory since childhood, especially regarding this rare Three Insects and Three Flowers Poison, which she had seen once before at her teacher's place in her previous life and remembered.
"Miss Su, please come with me." Xiao Jinhan led Su Hua to the study on the west side.
Upon entering the study, Su Hua discovered that the simple wooden house was actually a hidden paradise.
