Chapter 213: Hairy Spider Poison, Bone Scraping and Healing
Xiao Qingxu and others went to greet the poisonous mother-in-law in person. When they arrived at the front hall, they saw an old woman in tattered clothes sitting with her legs crossed, eating cakes and drinking tea.
She was covered in dirt, her eyes were bloodshot, and the straw sandals on her feet were half rotten. She ate in such a hurry, it was obvious that she had come a long way and had not had much rest.
Xiao Qingxu didn't care about that and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Excuse me, are you the Poisonous Mother-in-law?"
"It's me." Poison Grandma finished the last sip of tea from the teapot, wiped her mouth, and nodded. Her face was old, but her features still vaguely showed the beauty of her youth.
Although Xiao Qingxu was a little anxious, he still asked just in case, "Who sent you here?"
According to Master Shanhe, the Poisonous Mother-in-law should not be able to come to Dayu, so why did she come so timely?
The poisonous mother-in-law's face fell immediately, "His Majesty asked me to come."
This story started from the day when the empress found out that Xiao Tong had secretly stolen the secret method of the Gu beast.
The empress was so angry that day that she overturned the table with breakfast on it.
But then she thought, Xiao Tong possessed such a powerful secret technique, and having used that thing, she would definitely attack Shang Yuwan and the others. If she were to say who Xiao Tong wanted to take out the most, it would undoubtedly be Shang Yuwan. The others were just a cover to achieve her goal.
The empress traveled light that day and went to Wandu Mountain in person to ask Poison Grandma to come out of the mountain and go to Dayu Kyoto to rescue people.
Even if the secret technique of the Gu Beast reappeared, Poison Granny would not leave her mountain. She had an agreement with Wen Qijun of Dayu that she would not leave her mountain until she got the jade earrings. Poison Granny was afraid that if she left her mountain without hesitation, the old bald monk in the temple would be in danger.
However, after the empress said the three words "Shang Yuwan", the Poisonous Mother-in-law turned around and opened the brocade bag left to her by Wen Qijun - Wen Qijun said that if she encountered the problem of the daughter of the Shang family but had not received the jade earrings, she could open the brocade bag to ask for a solution.
The Poisonous Grandma took out a note from the brocade bag, opened it and read: After you rescue the person, you and Shanshui can go wherever you want as long as you don’t use insect magic to hurt anyone.
“…”
What this meant was that Wen Qijun, relying on his supposed divination skills, had separated her and Shanshui for years with just a few words?!
The Poisonous Granny was so angry that she blew up half of the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain on the spot - the Poisonous Granny not only knew poison and insect magic, but also learned to play with explosives in the past two years.
After putting out the fire at Wandu Mountain, without waiting for the empress to say a few good words for Shang Yuwan, Poison Grandma took the tools she could use, robbed her horse and a bag of silver, and ran away.
It was true that Wen Qijun had tricked her and Shanshui, but Madam Lu Xu did owe them both a debt of gratitude. Du Po Po was a person who held her word very firmly and would always keep her promises.
If my child's life is in danger, I only ask Sister Yu to help. This is the only time, I won't be greedy.
That clear, bright smiling face appeared in Poisonous Granny's mind, and her amber eyes were half joking and half serious. Thinking of Lu Xu's final fate, Poisonous Granny couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her nose, and she whipped the horsewhip in her hand even harder.
The horse's buttocks were so painful from being whipped that it spread its hooves and ran as fast as it could.
On the way here, the poisonous old woman ran five horses to death. She had spent all the money before entering Beijing. She had sneaked in by hiding under a carriage.
After the poisonous mother-in-law explained the whole story, she also asked him if he had any jade earrings. Only then did Xiao Qingxu believe her.
"Does Grandma want a bath? And some food? I'll ask someone to go to the kitchen and make it. It will be ready soon."
Poisonous Granny took the jade earrings Ji Suxian gave her and waved her hand, "There's no rush for bathing or eating. Let's take a look at that girl first."
In her eyes, being poisoned by a Gu was not a difficult matter, but that was a Gu worm from the secret technique of the Gu beast, and the poisonous old lady could not take it lightly.
Xiao Qingxu personally took her to see Shang Yuwan. Ji Suxian asked someone to boil some water, and later went to the kitchen to order a table of delicious dishes to be prepared, waiting for the poisonous mother-in-law to cure Shang Yuwan so that they could have a good meal.
The Poisonous Granny entered the house, and when Yao Lao saw her coming, he stood up and made way for her.
The two nodded to each other as a greeting.
Yao Lao stood outside the screen and waited. Po Po stretched out her hand to feel Shang Yuwan's pulse. The next second, her brows furrowed tightly, and she pulled open Shang Yuwan's clothes to check the wound.
"You mean she wasn't poisoned, but became like this because she was bitten by someone who was poisoned?"
Xiao Qingxu quickly asked, "But what's wrong?"
The poison in this girl's body...
The poisonous mother-in-law looked solemn.
It was clearly the poison of the hairy spider that the young patriarch used when he was fighting insects.
The young leader of the alien tribe was exceptionally gifted in insect breeding and control, making him the most sought-after heir apparent. Hairy spiders weren't rare, but the young leader's skill in breeding and controlling them was rare. The poisonous insects and poisonous insects he possessed were all fed with his own blood and sweat, and he himself consumed poison daily, transforming himself into a poisonous being.
The young patriarch was admired by his fellow tribesmen not only for his talent in raising and controlling insects, but also for their ruthless submission. Among the other tribes, unless they were Gu worms, like those used in the secret art of Gu beasts that could control living people, there was basically no need to feed them with things like heart blood.
Taking out the blood from his heart would cause great harm to himself, not to mention that the young patriarch eats poison as food. It would be a miracle if he could survive.
Because of his viciousness and madness, every spider he raised was different from any other. Just half a drop of venom could cause a small wound on an adult man to burst into a deep, bone-deep wound, ultimately leading to death from excessive blood loss.
Poisonous Granny's mother was a maid in the Langjiang Palace, abducted by foreigners and defiled with innocence before giving birth to her. Poisonous Granny could be considered half foreigner, having lived among them since childhood. If it weren't for her exceptional talent in raising poisonous insects, she and her mother would have been forced to feed the insects long ago.
Back then, the foreign race was too rampant and brutal, so the Empress personally led the army to exterminate them. However, the Empress saw that Poison Granny had good intentions and was not as cruel and ruthless as the foreigners, so she spared her life.
Poison Grandma pulled herself back to her thoughts, thinking that even though Shang Yuwan had taken the antidote from the Gu Beast Secret Method, the hairy spider venom in her body had only been temporarily suppressed. After all, the toxin and the antidote didn't match, and being able to suppress it until now was a blessing in disguise.
Although we don't know why the young patriarch's hairy spider venom came out of the poisoner's mouth, if we don't scrape the child's bone and heal the wound in time, even if the wound heals as quickly as possible, it will probably break open again and become a bigger and deeper wound.
She immediately ordered through the screen: "Except for those who know how to treat and the girls, everyone should get out."
Cheng Yishui and Ju Gongcheng left quickly, and Bai Xiaoye dragged Xiao Qingxu away. Twelve's feet seemed to have taken root, not moving at all.
The poisonous old woman took out a knife from her bag and said, "Bring the lamp oil over here, and prepare the gauze, strong liquor, hemostatics, and clean water. I need to scrape the bone to heal the wound."
Yao Lao's expression changed, but he still followed Po Po's instructions, brought the lamp oil over, and then retreated behind the screen.
Ji Suxian hurried over, and upon hearing the words "scrape the bone to heal the wound," her face turned pale. But like Medicine Old Man, she silently obeyed Poison Grandma's instructions. After putting down her medicine box, she pulled the stiff Twelve out, then turned around and went to the pharmacy to bring back all the gauze and hemostatic drugs.
Twelve stood there in silence for a moment, then turned around and followed Ji Suxian to the pharmacy to get something.
Shang Yuwan was now unconscious, his breathing weakened. If he scraped the bone to heal the wound, cutting open the flesh, he would surely bleed profusely.
But now they have no other choice but to trust the poisonous mother-in-law.
There is no other way.
