Chapter 490 Five Poison Powder
Jia Yanbing thought for a while before saying, "The stationed camp of the Lieutenant Colonel of Dezhou is about three days away from here, but now it is snowing, so it may take twice as long as usual to get out. Far water cannot quench near thirst. Unless a divine soldier descends from heaven and the Lieutenant Colonel can suddenly come to this county, we can only rely on your good luck."
"Mr. Yan, these people are targeting me and Fubao, it's none of your business. Otherwise, I'll give you some money and you can go to another inn so that you don't get implicated by my father and me."
As Wan Laoer spoke, he began to feel for the silver on his body.
Jia Yanbing chuckled: "Brother Wan, who do you think I am? Although I am a businessman and I value profit, I will not abandon you at this time. You didn't abandon me, so how could I do something ungrateful?"
If it were the old Jia Yanbing, he would have left without saying a word, but after spending these days with this father and daughter, he realized a truth: the most valuable thing in this world is not gold and silver, but sincerity. Without this father and daughter, how many times would he have died?
However, he can use his identity to enter and exit, and maybe he can do something.
"Brother Wan, why don't you write a letter to the General? I'll find a way to get it out to you. Let's work hard on many fronts. I believe one side will gain something."
Wan Laoer, however, had no hope at all. Not to mention that it would take five or six days to get to Wanquan's camp, plus the return trip would take nearly half a month, by which time his body would have frozen into ice chips.
Wan Laoer did not consider asking Wan Quan for help at all in his plan.
"No, it's too far. It's too late." Wan Laoer shook his head in despair.
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try? Just write it first and see if it works. There's always a glimmer of hope, right?" Jia Yanbing consoled him.
Wan Laoer sighed and sat down at the desk in the room.
The upper room of this inn has everything, even writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
Wan Laoer's handwriting was big and ugly, but he still wrote on two pieces of paper a letter asking for help.
Jia Yanbing put away the letter and put it in his arms.
"I'll deliver the mail, but I'll probably have to pay extra in this weather."
Wan Laoer immediately took out ten taels of silver and handed them to Jia Yanbing. "It's worth it if I can deliver the letter with ten taels of silver. Even if Quan'er can't save us in time, he can come and collect our bodies. They won't be left to rot in the wilderness."
Wan Laoer's words sounded somewhat sad.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressed.
Jia Yanbing took the silver from Wan Laoer, gathered his cloak, put on his hat, picked up the hand warmer, and went out.
While Jia Yanbing was out, Wan Laoer poked his head out to take a look downstairs, and saw the men in black robes eating and drinking. They heard the noise upstairs, looked up, and were so scared that Wan Laoer quickly retracted his head.
At this time, Fubao was studying the medical book given to her by the old doctor. Whenever she had time along the way, she would take it out and read it. If she found a word she didn't recognize, she would ask Jia Yanbing.
She had almost finished reading a book. She had a good memory and could remember everything she saw at a glance, so she remembered most of the book. Now she was reading it through for the last time and closed the book.
"Dad, I need to go to the pharmacy."
Fubao got off the bed, put on his shoes by himself, and looked up at Wan Laoer.
Wan Laoer was trembling with fear. He was just thinking that he would never leave the inn even if he was beaten to death. But less than a quarter of an hour later, his daughter was about to go out to the pharmacy.
"Girl, can we not go? What are you doing in the pharmacy? It's freezing cold, and those people are staring at us. We can't go out at this time."
Wan Laoer was so scared that he quickly carried Fubao to the bed and sat him down.
Fu Bao looked at Wan Lao Er seriously and said, "Dad, I'm going to buy some medicine to make poison. We have nothing now but a dagger, which is totally useless in front of those people. We must play to our own strengths, but your advantage is that you can farm, which is completely useless to us now. Then we can only play to my and Mr.'s strengths. I will learn and use it now, and try my best to combine the medicinal materials in the medical book that grandpa gave me to make a highly toxic poison, and let Mr. Yan find an opportunity to drug them."
Fubao has a clear idea. Although the operation is difficult, it is better than doing nothing.
And if she can make the poison this time, she will have one more weapon to protect herself in the future.
Fubao felt that she urgently needed to deal with those tail issues so that she could study without distraction. Otherwise, she would always be harassed and worried every day, so how could she concentrate on studying?
The more important point is that Fubao wants revenge. Last time those people dared to hurt her father, she must fight back this time. Fubao is not a person who will suffer in silence.
"But if we go out now, there won't be many people on the street. Wouldn't that give those people an opportunity? We might not even find the door to the clinic before they catch us."
Fubao thought about it and felt that what her father said made sense.
They can't go out like this, so let someone buy it for them.
"Dad, how about you write down the name of the medicine and ask the waiter to go buy it for us?"
Fubao immediately changed his strategy.
Wan Laoer thought it was feasible.
He quickly sat down at the desk, picked up his pen and dipped it in ink, waiting for Fubao to narrate.
"What I'm going to make is called Five Poison Powder. I saw the recipe for this powder in my grandfather's notes. It requires red scorpion tail, black widow spider venom, venomous snake gall, poisonous toad skin, Gnaphalium, Atractylodes macrocephala, Astragalus, Pinellia ternata, Angelica dahurica, and Coptis chinensis. The last few ingredients are to confuse people. I don't know if the first five ingredients are sold in pharmacies? But the price should not be low. Dad may have to bleed a lot."
Fubao blinked his big eyes and looked at Wan Laoer mischievously.
Wan Laoer didn't care too much about the money this time. His life was about to be lost. What was the use of having money? Wouldn't it just give it to others?
"It's okay. As long as I can buy these things, I don't mind spending any amount of money."
Wan Laoer heard Fubao say that these things were all highly poisonous. If they could be made, they would definitely be their life-saving weapons. He could still distinguish the importance of both.
Fubao happily hugged Wan Laoer's neck and said with a smile: "Daddy is so kind, then let's quickly let Xiaoer come up?"
Wan Laoer touched Fubao's head and folded the paper with the words on it. He was afraid that if something went wrong, he would have to hide it from the man in black robe downstairs.
Wan Lao Er took a deep breath, opened the door calmly, and shouted downstairs, "Waiter, is our hot water not ready yet?"
Sure enough, the waiter responded immediately: "Sir, I'll be right there, right there."
I saw the waiter carrying a wooden bucket of steaming hot water upstairs with great effort. Because it was too heavy and he was going upstairs, the waiter walked very slowly.
Wan Laoer watched the waiter carrying hot water to the door of the room. He glanced at the men in black robes downstairs and saw that they suddenly stood up.
Wan Laoer couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster. Were these people going to take action now?
