Chapter 3: Love between husband and wife
Sanning often runs in the wild, so of course he knows a lot of survival skills and poison prevention.
Silkworms, this little fat boy, are more likely to appear in years of severe drought.
Although it is inconspicuous, it can really take people's lives silently.
Not only did Sang Ning say this, he also used a wooden hairpin to pick up a half-centimeter-long insect floating on the surface and showed it to the old lady.
The old lady frowned, looked at the maggot carefully, and then looked at Sang Ning with deep eyes.
At some point, Huo Changan also opened his eyes and looked at Sang Ning, who was calm and spoke clearly.
Sang Ning didn't know how much they knew about his original self, but at this moment he was unwilling to pretend to be someone else.
There is still a long way to go. If you pretend for a while, can you pretend all the way?
After being surprised, sister-in-law Li Yuzhi also looked at the maggot.
Sure enough, the head was red, and if you looked closely, it had black tentacles and a spiky mouth.
Is it really erosion?
She couldn't help but look at the old lady.
The old lady had been on the battlefield with the Marquis in her early years and had traveled across most of Dongyang State. What had she not seen? She should know.
But the old lady really didn't know about this kind of thing.
But it does not prevent her from having sufficient judgment.
She was confused, these really weren't maggots.
Every day she would save her own water to wash her son's body, so even if flies laid eggs, they would not hatch so quickly.
She also recalled that when she had followed the Marquis to fight in the past, they had led the troops to camp in the wild, and there had been wounded soldiers whose wounds had been contaminated by maggots.
The area was clearly cleaned up at that time, but those soldiers died later.
Could it be...
"Sang Ning'er, how do you know all this? Everyone knows that you were persuaded to drop out of the girls' school. You are just a fool with no talent!" Huo Jingya's face was full of anger.
"Mom, don't listen to her. Hurry up and clean up Fourth Brother. Have you forgotten what she did when Fourth Brother first came out? She fainted from fear and kept shouting, 'This isn't Fourth Brother!'"
"She stayed far away all the way and didn't dare to get close. She just didn't want Fourth Brother to live like this. She just wanted Fourth Brother, who had become a cripple, to die!"
Sang Ning allowed Huo Jingya to vent her sorrow, but did not allow her to say anything stupid.
The word "useless person" from the mouth of relatives is more hurtful than insults from others. Doesn't she know that?
Just as she was about to retort, the old lady spoke calmly, "Sang, if you were to be poisoned by this kind of poison, what symptoms would you experience?"
"You won't feel anything for the first few days, but the poison has already penetrated your meridians. You'll first feel dizzy and talk nonsense, then fall into a coma and never wake up. If you do an autopsy, you'll find the victim's internal organs are completely black."
Yes.
Yes.
That's it.
The old lady had a complicated expression, and she seemed to understand something. She asked again, "Then how can we clean it out?"
Since Sang stopped her, she must have the correct way to clean it up.
"Mom, you really believed her. What does she know?" Huo Jingya couldn't believe it.
"At least she dares to come and pick the bugs. Do you dare?" the old lady asked bluntly.
Huo Jingya's face suddenly turned pale.
There were others who all shrank their heads.
It’s not that they don’t feel sorry for Huo Changan. On the contrary, if someone wants to hurt him, anyone can rush over to block the knife. But facing such a bug, these ladies who have never done housework before feel creepy and their hair stands on end.
Every time I looked at it I felt like there were bugs crawling on my body and I didn't dare to get close.
Everyone lowered their heads in guilt and remained silent.
The old lady shook her head, feeling powerless.
The Marquis's family has a good tradition. The sons marry wives and do not take concubines. The men love their wives, pamper their sisters, and raise the girls in a pampered way. The women live a smooth and worry-free life, so much so that when they encounter a disaster, not a single one of them can stand up.
How long can her old bones hold on?
The old lady suppressed the tightness in her chest and looked at Sang Ning again.
This Sang was not favored at home. She had a biological father but no biological mother. Before getting married, she specially found an opportunity to meet her mother once.
The impression she had at the time was that he was not a bad person by nature, but was impulsive and brainless, and was suppressed by his stepmother and had no power to turn things around.
Entering the Marquis' Mansion was her urgent desire to escape from her original family.
But she lost the bet.
Sang Ning cleared his throat. "It's actually very simple. Just rinse with salt water. Once they smell the salt water, they will escape on their own."
"Gentlemen, can you give me some salt water?" the old lady asked the yamen runner in a low voice.
Yamen runner Li Chang said with a forced smile, "Old Madam, let me say something unpleasant. Is it really necessary to clean this leg? Even if a few little bugs kept eating, could they really eat up a man as big as the Fourth Young Master?"
"You..." Huo Jingya wanted to curse with red eyes, but was hit by her sister-in-law next to her.
This is not the case in the past, when they had to live with their heads held high.
"That being said, my family can't stand this. The yamen runner has brothers and sisters at home, so please be flexible. Even if he's dying, we want him to die with dignity."
A neither humble nor arrogant voice sounded.
Sang Ning looked at the yamen runner who was kicked in the waist by her with a firm and calm look.
Damn, you didn’t kick hard enough!
"I think you haven't learned your lesson yet! You traitors dare to compete with us! It's ridiculous! A loser still wants to be respectable?"
Some people are just perverts.
In the capital, where nobles are as rare as hair, they have to live by the moods of others. Once they come to power, they take pleasure in torturing others, especially the nobles whom they could not even see even if they looked up.
In this way, they can satisfy their already twisted and perverted interests and gain a sense of pleasure from torturing others.
"Cleaning up maggots isn't that troublesome! I'll clean it up for the Fourth Young Master!"
Li Chang smiled evilly and swung the whip towards Huo Changan's legs.
Sang Ning suddenly leaned over and the whip hit her back hard.
Fuck!
It hurts so much!
Everyone was stunned, including Huo Changan, who looked as pale as death.
His fingers, which were gripping the ground, were trembling. He looked at Sang Ning, who was grimacing in pain, in confusion and bewilderment.
He wasn't surprised that every family member here would take the blame for him, except for her...
She is the daughter of the enemy, why?
Damn it! San Ning himself doesn’t know why!
Just now, my body seemed to be driven forward.
Could it be that the original owner is not dead?
"Oh my, they are really in love! I love to see this, wow..." Li Chang's eyes became more excited.
He was about to swing the whip again when the old lady stood in front of Sang Ning.
"Sir! Please let me go. If you are short of water, can we go find it ourselves?"
The old lady was filled with grief and indignation. They, the Marquis's family, had spared no effort for Dongyang and were loyal to the emperor, but in the end they were slandered by villains and their family was destroyed.
She wanted to question and denounce these cannibalistic yamen runners, but she had to bow to these evildoers.
Heaven is blind!
As soon as she stopped them, all the other female relatives also stopped them.
Huo Jingya suppressed her grief and anger, tears welling in her eyes: "Although my fourth brother has no achievements and is a playboy in the world, he is the least talented one in the Huo family, but he has never bullied the people. On the contrary, he once saved a child who was almost trampled to death by a horse in the downtown area.
Seek medical treatment for the dying old man, and help the government catch the rapist who harmed women!
I still remember how the people in the yamen praised us and how the people expressed their gratitude with flowers!
Even if my fourth brother is disabled, useless! He is still my respected fourth brother! If you want to hit him, hit me, I will take the beating for him! "
"I'll take the beating for my fourth brother too!" The eldest sister-in-law choked.
"I'm also on behalf of my fourth brother."
The third sister-in-law said in a daze that she had always been weak and was a little dizzy at the moment, but she was still trying hard not to faint.
Seven-year-old Huo Jintang's lips were already dry enough to bleed. He puffed out his thin chest and said calmly, "I'm here for Fourth Uncle, too."
…
Facing his family standing in front of him again, Huo Changan hated his broken body again! There was a tearing pain in his eyes.
Waste! What's the use of it!
The more they do this, the more he wants to die!
Li Chang's face was gloomy and he became even more angry. After so many years of escorting, he had already lost his humanity.
In the capital, he was the lowest-ranking official.
On the escort route, he is the king!
No one can disobey him!
