Chapter 675: Childhood sweetheart is gone
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Dabao raised his sword, looked at the woman in front of him and asked.
Xu Miaomiao stared at the man on the ground and said, "There is still poison in his body. If Li Yi had watched him take my medicine yesterday, the poison in his body should have been eliminated long ago, but he still has it. This can only mean..."
"It only means that someone is poisoning people every day." Xuguo on the side said immediately.
Li Yi was somewhat puzzled when he heard what they said. He crossed his arms over his chest, looked at the people in front of him and said, "It's obviously just the most common poison. Who would be so cruel as to poison him every day and make him suffer sooner?"
"He is a madman. He is still alive after the death of the Weaver Girl. Someone must be sending him food every day. This is easy. Just ask him."
Dabao also spoke immediately.
Listening to their words, Xu Miaomiao nodded and said, "Let's go, then, and see who is delivering meals to him every day."
It was clearly daytime, but there were not many people in Shui Village. Even those who wanted to sell vegetables on the street would pack up hurriedly and leave immediately.
The village seemed hazy and desolate, quiet yet unusually weird.
"This is where that crazy guy lives."
Li Yi held the sword and began to look around curiously.
Although the facilities in the house are simple, it is clean and tidy. Although it is small, it has everything you need. Even the room next to it is very tidy. Xu Miaomiao looked at the bronze mirror on the table and said, "This is the Weaver Girl's room."
"The Weaver Girl has been dead for so many years, but this room is still very clean." Xuguo said thoughtfully, and then looked at the madman next to him.
"We've been together for so long, but I still don't know the name of this crazy husband."
Xuguo squatted down, looked at the person on the ground and asked.
Li Yi, who was standing by, seemed to have heard some great joke. He laughed at Xu Guo and said, "You, you actually asked a madman such a question. Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
Xuguo did not respond to Li Yi, but Dabao beside him said: "People in the village don't have much contact with this madman, but I heard that when Zhinu was here, he was called Aqi. Because his origin, appearance and identity are very mysterious, so he is called that."
After hearing what Dabao said, Xuguo slowly stood up, looked at the clean bowl beside him and said, "Someone is bringing him food. I'm afraid he will be here soon. Let's wait."
Just as Xuguo finished speaking, the door creaked open, revealing a man in a white linen robe, with messy hair, a sallow complexion, and a somewhat crazy behavior.
Dabao took the lead to protect Xu Miaomiao.
The man looked up and saw so many people in the room. He was afraid and immediately stepped back, dropping the food box in his hand and ran outside.
"Li Yi!"
Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately, and a black shadow flashed by the side, and Li Yi immediately chased after it.
Before anyone could move, Aqi had already opened the lunch box in his hand and started eating the food inside. Xu Miaomiao immediately stopped him when she saw him, picked up the food and began to check it.
"Sister Xu, how is it?"
"It is poisonous, the same as the poison in Aqi's body." Xu Miaomiao nodded, looked at Xuguo beside her and immediately spoke.
It seems that the person who poisoned is indeed this husband.
But in a moment, the door creaked open, and Li Yi was dragging a man in his hand.
The man seemed to be terrified when he saw everyone, and he collapsed to the ground: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything."
Xu Miaomiao smiled when she saw his cowardly look. He even dared to poison her, so she thought he was a man of integrity, but the result was just like this.
Xuguo also smiled, took two steps closer to the man, stared at him and said, "Who is this gentleman? He is so kind that he comes to bring food to Aqi every day."
Xuguo emphasized the word "kind-hearted" and spoke jokingly while looking at the person in front of him.
The man's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he took two steps back, supporting himself with his hands. His white clothes were already covered in mud, and he immediately said, "I really didn't mean it. I didn't mean it."
"What on earth happened? Why did you embarrass this Mr. Aqi?"
The man stared at everyone with some fear, as if he was recalling some unbearable and painful memories: "It's her, it's her own fault, she did it on purpose, I accidentally killed her, it's all her fault, I don't know why, I don't know anything."
"Haha, compared to this Archie, I think this husband is more like a lunatic." Li Yi blurted out, staring at the man on the ground and smiled.
Xu Miaomiao looked at this scene curiously, while Xuguo squatted down and asked, "Who is she you are talking about, the Weaver Girl?"
After hearing Xuguo's words, the man seemed to be shocked by one of the sentences and stepped back repeatedly: "No, I really didn't mean it, don't bother me, don't bother me."
After the man finished speaking, he left like a madman.
Xu Miaomiao and Dabao looked at each other, and everyone followed him out. However, as soon as they got outside, the man who had been talking just now had fallen to the ground with his pupils dilated, as if he had been scared to death.
"Scared to death?"
Li Yi said with some surprise.
Xu Miaomiao did not answer, but lowered her head and began to look at the man: "He is indeed dead, but he was not scared to death. Look at his hands."
Xu Miaomiao lifted up her sleeves, and there were obviously some scars on her arms that were about to rot. It looked shocking and a little scary.
Although he didn't understand, looking at the scar on the man's hand, Li Yi spoke first: "Isn't this the same scar as the one on Aqi's hand?"
"So he was also poisoned, but who poisoned him?" Dabao was also a little puzzled and spoke while looking at the man on the ground.
"It's possible that he wasn't the one who poisoned her." Xuguo said coldly.
Xu Miaomiao heard this and said, "This poison is very common. Almost everyone living here knows it, so they will try to avoid it and not let themselves be infected. However, since many people know about this poison, the number of people who may have poisoned it is likely to be very wide."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Xuguo squatted down and looked at the man. Although he was dressed in rags and did not look like a rich man, he had a fine jade pendant on his waist with the word "Qing" written on it.
"Qing? He is the childhood sweetheart of the Weaver Girl, Liu Qing."
Dabao stared at the corpse and immediately spoke.
Li Yi also looked at the jade pendant on his hand and slowly said, "I only know that Liu Qing left after the death of Zhinu. Is there any connection between him and his return now?"
