Chapter 8 Fell on her
Qiao Suluo was eating with great satisfaction, but when she heard Que Hongjin say this, her eating movements froze.
"So, you suspect I'm killing you with poisonous mushrooms?"
"If I wanted to kill you, why would I eat it myself?"
Qiao Su Luo looked at Que Hong Jin with angry eyes. The bastard actually suspected that she was using poisonous mushrooms to harm him!
Seeing her angry look, Que Hongjin suddenly smiled elegantly and said, "My wife, you can just tell me what you want. You don't have to use any tricks."
"If you want to kill Hong Jin, a single knife will be enough. There's no need to torture him with poison."
Qiao Su Luo was shocked by this sentence?
"You...you think I want to kill you?"
After Qiao Su Luo said this, she suddenly thought of what her original self had done. Her original self had indeed used many means to poison and drug them.
The system said, "Host, the reason Que Hongjin's body is so weak is because his predecessor gave him a drug. He was attacked by a drug, which was indeed very painful. Even though the effect of the drug wore off later, it still damaged his body, making his already weak body even worse."
"Everyone here thinks mushrooms are poisonous and can't be eaten, so the host should explain it well."
After hearing what the system said, Qiao Su Luo lost her temper. She really wanted to explain.
But she glanced at Bai Qianluo, who was eating the green dumpling elegantly and seriously. After a while, he had finished one green dumpling, as if he didn't suspect she had poisoned him at all.
Seeing Bai Qianluo like this, Qiao Suluo's expression became better.
The feeling of being suspected was really uncomfortable, but she still patiently explained: "This is a shiitake mushroom, it's not poisonous."
"Not all mushrooms in the mountains are poisonous. Some are poisonous, while others are not. They are edible and can be used to make a lot of food."
"I just ate a few bites myself, I'll be fine."
"If you're worried, you can wait a while to see if I'm okay before considering whether to eat it. I'll keep it warm in the pot for you."
As she spoke, Qiao Su Luo continued to eat the green rice dumpling. How could she suspect that such delicious food was poisonous?
She looked at Bai Qianluo and felt very satisfied. She took another one to eat and handed one to Bai Qianluo, saying, "How can you be full after eating just one? Eat more."
Bai Qianluo took it and said in his usual cold voice, "Thank you, my wife."
Hearing Bai Qianluo's response that he still called her his wife, Qiao Suluo smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. When I make money, I will take you to see a doctor and cure your eyes."
Bai Qianluo paused while eating, and it was unclear whether he believed what she said. In any case, he ate the green rice dumpling quietly without any emotion.
Que Hongjin listened to Qiao Suluo's words, and a look of suspicion appeared in her beautiful eyes. She had never explained these things before, let alone identifying mushrooms and using special methods to save people.
She couldn't cook at all, let alone speak to them in such a calm tone.
It seemed like she had become different since last night.
Que Hongjin suddenly thought of something. That was last night, when there was lightning and thunder, she seemed to be struck by lightning and fainted.
At that moment, he felt as if she had stopped breathing, and he even thought she was dead.
Just a short while later, lightning struck again and she woke up. After waking up, she seemed like a completely different person. Her behavior, speaking style, and even her eyes were all different.
As if realizing something, Que Hongjin just looked at her, his picturesque pupils rippled slightly, his eyes moved slightly, and his long eyelashes cast tiny shadows, as if blocking the sharp color in his eyes that saw through the world.
In an instant, the sharpness in his eyes faded away, and his eyebrows were suddenly filled with a faint smile, just like a red spider lily blooming in the daytime, with an elusive sense of mystery.
He smiled and said, "The food my wife worked so hard to prepare must not be wasted."
"From now on, when my wife cooks, you can call me and I can help her."
At this moment, Que Hongjin's tone became gentle, even with an almost bewitching tone, as if he was talking to his lover.
But Qiao Su Luo suddenly got goose bumps. She was very sure that Que Hongjin hated her. Why would he suddenly speak to her in that tone and even smile at her? It was abnormal, definitely abnormal.
"System, is Que Hongjin's brain okay? Did he become ill after being abused by his original body?"
Don't have any mental problems.
System: "Don't worry, host. He's fine. Isn't it good for him to be gentle with you?"
Qiao Su Luo said, "This is not called gentleness, this is called the calm before the storm."
She felt that Que Hongjin's attitude suddenly changed, and she felt that it was weird. To survive in this strange world, she still had to be more vigilant.
She knew very well what her body looked like. Que Hongjin couldn't possibly be interested in her, so he must have some other purpose.
Qiao Su Luo did not respond to Que Hong Jin, but lowered her head and ate seriously.
After eating, Bai Qianluo got up to clean the table and dishes.
Qiao Su Luo came to the yard and began to clean and process the konjac. She carefully covered her hands with a cloth, not wanting to touch the mucus directly with her hands, as her fingers would become itchy.
At this moment, Que Hongjin came out after cleaning up the kitchen. He happened to see a pile of konjac placed on the side. Que Hongjin's face changed. He walked forward and said, "Wife, be careful, this thing is poisonous."
Que Hongjin had a headache and couldn't help but want to press the solar plexus. Why did his wife bring back a bunch of poisonous food?
When Qiao Su Luo heard what Que Hongjin said, she looked up at him and met his helpless eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have put aside his sharp suspicion and become truly gentle and soft.
Qiao Su Luo was a little unaccustomed to Que Hong Jin's sudden behavior, but she patiently explained, "This is konjac. If prepared properly, it's edible and not poisonous."
"We don't have any food left at home now. I only found these foods in the mountains. After processing them, we can make them into konjac noodles and sell them at the market. When we make money, we can buy food for our family."
She didn't want to expose the secret of the space mall. She didn't trust anyone now. Her predecessor had abused Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo, so it was normal for them to have murderous intentions towards her. So it was better to be cautious about everything.
Que Hongjin said, "My wife, you can let me do these tasks. You can take a rest."
In the past, she would not do any work. But now, under the sunshine, she worked seriously, looking particularly quiet and focused, as if the only thing in her eyes was the work in her hands.
Qiao Su Luo naturally wanted to use the people who were willing to work. She said, "Please help me burn some more wood ash first."
After washing and peeling all the konjac, grind it into pulp with wood ash water. Wood ash water is alkaline and can remove the toxicity of konjac.
Que Hongjin said gently, "Okay."
At this moment, he seemed to be very good-tempered and obedient, and then went to burn the ashes nearby.
Qiao Su Luo was stunned when she saw him like this. Did his attitude towards her change after they had a meal?
Before Qiao Suluo could figure it out, Bai Qianluo came to her side and said coldly, "Wife, let me do this."
As he spoke, Bai Qianluo's figure flashed.
Qiao Suluo almost jumped up. She quickly stood up and reached out to catch Bai Qianluo. Bai Qianluo's tall and graceful figure leaned on Qiao Suluo.
Qiao Su Luo felt that although she was fat, Bai Qianluo was a head taller than her. She couldn't even support Bai Qianluo. She didn't know what to do with her hands and feet. She was afraid that he would think she was deliberately taking advantage of him. She said incoherently: "You...how are you?"
