In the captain's yard, Qin Yuping's body was soft and weak, and she wanted to lean on the captain like a weak willow in the wind.
The captain looked terrified and dodged very quickly. Fortunately, Qin Yuping held onto a big tree next to her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.
The captain's face turned pale: "Qin Zhiqing, please be careful."
Qin Yuping breathed weakly: "Captain, I am just too weak. I don't have the strength."
The captain had already seen Xu Nuannuan. Xu Nuannuan gestured to him with her finger, and he continued to ask Qin Yuping: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to see me about?"
Qin Yuping had her back to Xu Nuannuan and had no idea that the person she was going to sue was standing behind her.
"Captain, I want to expose Xu Nuannuan, the educated youth in our educated youth camp. All the educated youth in our educated youth camp have been poisoned, and only Xu Zhiqing is fine. She must have poisoned us. Captain, please punish her severely."
The team leader became even more upset upon hearing this and scolded him, "You, an educated youth, have a very low level of awareness. Now that everyone is facing difficulties, we should work together to find a way to overcome them, instead of complaining and gossiping behind others' backs like you do. Don't I know Xu Zhiqing better than you do what kind of person she is? She's working so hard for the good of our village and would never poison anyone. You should reflect on yourself."
"But she's the only one who's doing fine in the entire educated youth camp. It must be her who did it."
Only then did Xu Nuannuan realize that Qin Yuping had dragged her sick body away from the educated youth site just to come here to complain about herself to the team leader.
She quietly came up behind Qin Yuping and said, "Qin Zhiqing, did you see me poison you?"
The sudden sound startled Qin Yuping.
Turning to look at Xu Nuannuan: "You, why are you here?"
Xu Nuannuan was at ease. "If you can come, why can't I? If I don't come, I won't hear you complaining about me."
Seeing Xu Nuannuan still safe and sound, Qin Yuping calmed down and said to the captain, "Captain, look, we've all been poisoned, but she's the only one who's fine. Wasn't it her who poisoned us?"
"What a joke! I wasn't poisoned. Am I also suspected of poisoning?" said the captain.
Qin Yuping: "But, but the other educated youth were poisoned."
The team leader sternly warned Qin Yuping: "Qin Zhiqing, I advise you to produce evidence, otherwise you will be making a false accusation and deliberately framing our good comrade."
Xu Nuannuan said, "Uncle Yu, we can put her false accusation against me aside for now. Let's resolve the matter at hand as quickly as possible. Comrade Jiang Ye and I saw Zhao Pandi acting suspiciously by the north well last night. She said she wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the well, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. We didn't suspect she had other intentions at the time, but now it seems she must have poisoned the well."
"Zhao Pandi, that damn woman!" the team leader cursed. "No wonder our family wasn't poisoned. We didn't draw water from the well today, so we didn't drink any poisoned water. So many people in our team suddenly felt unwell. I thought they had an infectious disease. And since we don't even have a village doctor here, I was thinking of reporting it to the commune. I didn't expect it was poisoning."
Xu Nuannuan: "Uncle, please have someone notify everyone in the village as soon as possible not to drink the water drawn from that well today. And have someone watch over the well to prevent anyone from drawing water again."
The captain quickly called his two sons and said, "Go and inform the team leaders, have them go door to door and ask them to find someone to watch over the well."
"Okay, Dad."
"Also, we need to control Zhao Pandi and her daughter to prevent them from escaping. There may be leftover poison in their home. Have people surround their house and don't allow anyone to enter or leave. Report this matter to the police immediately." Xu Nuannuan added.
"Yes, yes, tell someone to lock them up and report to the police." The captain gave orders to his two sons again.
Jiang Ye arrived. The captain had just given his son an order when he said to Jiang Ye, "Jiang Ye, you also saw Zhao Pandi poisoning the well yesterday. Go to the county town and report to the police. Have them arrest them."
Jiang Ye was much more reliable than his two sons. He glanced in Xu Nuannuan's direction and said, "Okay, I'll go then."
The captain then said to his two sons, "You two should hurry up and take control of the mother and daughter."
There is no electricity in their village, and the village branch doesn't even have a loudspeaker. Otherwise, if they shout through the loudspeaker, everyone in the village can hear it.
The captain's frown was so tight it could crush a snail. "So many people have been poisoned. I'll go check on them first. It won't be easy to send all of them to the hospital. No one has any money in their pockets. How are we going to pay for the hospital bills?"
Xu Nuannuan said, "Uncle, I've checked on the people at our educated youth camp, and their conditions aren't too serious. Because the poison has been diluted by the well water, its toxicity has been greatly reduced. As long as we find a way to alleviate their symptoms and eliminate most of the toxins, the small amount of poison will slowly be metabolized and excreted in their bodies, and they'll be fine after a while."
The captain was surprised at Xu Nuannuan again: "Xu Zhiqing, you also know how to detoxify people?"
"I studied medicine specifically with others."
"It turns out there are such talents in our village." After praising Xu Nuannuan, he spat at Qin Yuping, "Look, look, this is the person you said would poison everyone. What she cares most about now is how to detoxify everyone."
Turning to look at Xu Nuannuan, "Xu Zhiqing, how do you think we should detoxify everyone?"
"I have a recipe for an antidote. It uses several very common herbs. However, I need the captain to organize some people to go with me to the foot of the mountain to collect herbs. There must be many people who haven't been poisoned. Call them. With the herbs, we can quickly make an antidote, and it can also neutralize the poison in the well water."
