Chapter 216
The eight people who arrived at the island owner's mansion with resentment were hit hard again. They had watched the two patients eat dinner last night before leaving, but today, Master Pei was left with only a bloody skin.
Qiao Sheng was really resentful. Because he couldn't communicate with Butler Bai, he secretly sent a message to Li Mu via email.
All he saw were five repeated big characters and a punctuation mark: [Let Master Pei die! ], which was quite shocking at first glance.
Li Mu took the time to open the email. He was talking to Butler Bai. When he saw the email, he was afraid that she had something urgent to communicate, so he opened it quickly. He almost stumbled when he saw it, but fortunately he held on to the rockery next to him to stabilize his body.
"Doctor Li, please go slowly. Don't fall down even if you are in a hurry." Butler Bai quickly straightened him up and continued to lead the way.
Li Mu touched his forehead, wiped the sweat off his forehead, followed Butler Bai's steps quickly, and quietly replied to her another email.
[Be patient, spare his life, and wait until we pass the copy, and we won't care whether he lives or dies. ]
Qiao Sheng followed behind and practiced Qi for a long time before he slowed down. He was still a little embarrassed. After all, all kinds of resentment this morning could feed the Evil Sword Immortal.
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, the boy named Xiaoyang was already standing there waiting. When he saw them, he grabbed Li Mu's arm and tried his best to retreat into the house.
When they went in, they saw that Master Pei was in a more serious condition than yesterday morning. He was breathing less and breathing out more. The good-tempered Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, then took out the Baibao Pill from his wrist bag and fed him with water.
For some reason, this time it was not as immediate as the previous two days. Instead, it took half an hour for him to recover. They looked at his poison debuff and found that it had indeed increased from one layer to three layers.
[Is this someone precisely poisoned or does he just not want to live? The poison is stacked up, he is almost a poisonous person, should I give him an antidote pill? ] Qiao Sheng sat in a chair in the corner with his hands in his pockets, watching the excitement, and took the time to send an email to Li Mu.
Li Mu replied to her, it is better not to detoxify him yet. He only had one layer before, and it has increased to three layers in three days. If he detoxifies, the poisoner will increase the dosage, and Master Pei may not be able to wait for them to rescue him.
After settling Master Pei, Qiao Sheng went to another patient's room. Sure enough, after two days of sour plum soup to stimulate her appetite, the girl's complexion has improved a lot even if she only eats two bowls of porridge a day.
Still pouring sour plum soup and feeding porridge, Miss Pei looked at her with tears in her eyes. Qiao Sheng pretended not to see it and sat on the chair beside the bed after feeding the medicine.
It seems that he is staring at Miss Pei, but in fact he is chatting and emailing with Li Mu in the next room and Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang who are in the information gathering group.
After discussion, Li Mu decided not to leave tonight and stayed in the island master's mansion to keep an eye on Master Pei, to see how he got poisoned.
This was a way to cut off the source of the problem, fearing that he might get into trouble if he stayed here alone. Qiao Sheng also said that he would stay here, and then they would take turns on duty, staring at him all night, not believing that Master Pei's poison could reach the fourth level. They kept an eye
on the patient that day, and Butler Bai and Xiao Yang went to the cafeteria to bring back lunch and dinner for them. The two of them didn't move. After dinner, Qiao Sheng waited until Miss Pei fell asleep before leaving and going to another room.
He found a sofa and took some iced green bean soup from the ring space to cool off, because the room was a bit stuffy.
In addition, the two patients were dying every day, and no one dared to put ice in the yard, so they could only think of a solution by themselves.
Li Mu sat on a chair beside the bed, chatting with Master Pei. After today's close companionship, they finally knew the names of Master Pei and Miss Pei, one was Pei Ming and the other was Pei Zhu.
After that, Qiao Sheng complained in his email that the name Pei Ming was unlucky, Pei Ming Pei Ming was almost the same as Bai Ming, no wonder the poison was stacked up layer by layer.
Xia Beibei said that Sister Qiao's resentment could not be dissipated, and it was all Pei Ming's fault.
After a while of chatting and laughing, Xia Beibei gave a new rumor. This time, the focus of the rumor was no longer Miss Pei Zhu, but Pei Ming as the male lead. It was said that the brother and sister were both love-minded. The sister fell in love with an ordinary fisherman, and the brother was also following the same script.
The only difference was that Pei Ming's white moonlight was already gone. Rumor has it that she was the most beautiful fisherwoman on the island.
In fact, there were very few people on this island who specialized in fishing. After all, they were engaged in the processing business. The container ship sailed out, distributed the materials loaded from the island, and then loaded the basic ingredients and returned with a full load.
So everyone here is trying their best to get into the factory or the management system of the island owner's mansion to work as a public servant. If you count carefully, even the cleaners and farmers on the island are considered public servants. Only those who have no connections and no ability will work in fishing, which is hard work with little income.
Because the siblings' sweethearts are related to fishing, Xia Beibei made a special inquiry. Sure enough, a fisherman and a fisherwoman are from the same family, a brother and a sister.
Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang spent a long time to piece together the general situation. At first, the fisherwoman and Master Pei were in love with each other, but in the eyes of the world, they were really worlds apart. They were afraid that Master Pei would punish them, so they kept meeting secretly.
It lasted for two years without being discovered, until a year ago, when the island master Pei was critically ill and no medicine could cure him. Then there was a turning point.
Since the city was submerged and turned into a sea world, these NPCs began to believe in metaphysics. For things that could not be solved by taking medicine, they began to pin their hopes on the sky and the sea god.
After that, they recruited a group of fishermen to go out to sea to find masters or elixirs. Unexpectedly, these people really found them, but only a dozen people went out, and only the fisherman brother came back. According to him, the rest of the people, including his sister, were swept away by the waves.
The reason why no one suspected him in this matter was that he brought back the old doctor that Qiao Sheng and the others had seen before, and the other was that his own sister also died in the disaster. Everyone sympathized with the weak.
Especially when Pei Island Master had been ill for half a month and could not be cured, the old doctor took three doses of medicine and he was able to sit up. After resting for another half a month, the disease that was originally fatal was completely cured.
This is why the old doctor has a say in the Island Master's Mansion even if he can't cure Pei Ming and Pei Zhu's illness. The
father's illness was cured, and Pei Zhu also fell in love with the fisherman who came in and out of the mansion at this time, but was opposed by the whole family.
Of course, the most unfortunate thing in the whole thing was Pei Ming and the fisherwoman, the young couple, who have been separated from each other since then.
After listening to the whole story, Qiao Sheng couldn't tell what it was. She always felt it was very strange, but she couldn't tell what the problem was.
When they kept watch at night, Li Mu guarded the first half of the night and she guarded the second half. With their 24-hour personal care, Pei Ming was finally free of the poison on the morning of the fourth day.
This night was not peaceful. Something happened in the second half of the night. Qiao Sheng discovered a secret. Pei Ming had a habit of talking in his sleep. He started mumbling in his sleep, "Lili, I'm almost there, wait for me."
Qiao Sheng felt something was wrong when he heard it, and tried to speak to him softly. Pei Ming was sleeping soundly, but Li Mu, who had been asleep for a while, heard the voice and opened his eyes.
All the questions were about where to go and how to wait. At first, they asked more than ten questions. Pei Ming showed signs of waking up, and then they shut up, kept quiet, and shrank back on the sofa.
[We have guessed all the possibilities. Who would have thought that this matter is actually a combination! Pei Ming, Pei Zhu, the fishermen, and the old doctor worked together, and even the fisherwoman survived! Pei Ming wanted to escape to find his sweetheart, but he was interrupted by us. 】It was inconvenient to talk, so Qiao Sheng started to send emails to discuss the plot.
【If you think about this matter in a positive way, the lovers will finally get married. If you think about it in a negative way, is this fisherman trying to eliminate the heir of the island owner's mansion and replace him? Otherwise, how could Miss Pei take a fancy to him by such a coincidence? Is this to create conditions without conditions to make Island Master Pei become a family without a family? This is a very clever trick. 】Qiao Sheng's emails came one after another, and Li Mu had no time to reply.
However, the mystery was completely solved. As for what these people wanted to do, they should not be allowed to investigate. Next, the two of them were going to discuss with Xia Beibei and the others whether to expose them directly or not. After all, every step they took was related to the plot and the rewards they could get.
In the morning, Li Mu still fed Master Pei Baibao Dan first, and then asked Xiaoyang to stay in the house. He and Qiao Sheng had breakfast in the shade of the corridor. After the meal, the two of them took the time to contact Xia Beibei and the others.
The four people unanimously agreed to find Master Pei to expose the matter. It would be better to solve it immediately. If there was an accident, Xia Beibei and the others would be outside to support them, and they would definitely be able to get out of it safely.
When sending emails back and forth, several people suddenly remembered what Xia Beibei said the night before. It was like a prophecy. In this copy, everyone has their own agenda and is evil.
After dinner, the two of them stayed in Pei Ming's room until Island Master Pei came to see his son. Li Mu went to the yard with him to discuss the illness and told him what they had found.
Of course, he didn't mention the fishermen and fisherwomen, or even the old doctor. He first said that there was something wrong with the fish soup delivered to the yard. Now Butler Bai and Xiaoyang also showed signs of mild poisoning, but their poisoning was relatively light and did not affect their daily activities.
Then he told Master Pei that Pei Zhu was not poisoned, but just starved himself, and that Master Pei knew it was poisonous but still ate it.
He kept staring at Master Pei's facial expression while he was talking. It was just as they expected. Master Pei knew everything. After hearing what Li Mu said, he didn't show any surprise at all. He even told him that he only needed to remove the poison from Pei Ming.
Li Mu was silent for a moment, then he heard Island Master Pei continue: "I know the situation of the fishing brother and sister of the Yuan family. The older brother hid his sister on a nearby island, and the other fishermen who were said to be dead also hid there. I have found that island and sent people to watch it nearby, but I was afraid of the consequences. Pei Ming, that stupid boy, was eager to try to be used as a gun. If I was not afraid that they would really kill him, I would have taken action against these people long ago." Since
Island Master Pei knew everything, Li Mu told him that the poison could be removed today. In the eyes of these NPCs, what happened next would have nothing to do with outsiders like them. After all, it involved privacy, and the less they knew, the better.
After returning to the house, he fed Pei Ming the detoxification pills, because he had already been poisoned by the third layer of debuffs. He was afraid that the poison would not be cured if the dosage was too small. Li Mu directly took three detoxification pills and fed them directly to him without paying attention to Pei Ming's struggle.
Xiao Yang huddled in the corner of the wall and dared not say a word, not even stretching out his hands to block. The detoxification pills were forced into his mouth. Pei Ming did not struggle much either, mainly because he could not keep up with the physical strength. He could not struggle even if he wanted to, and could only stare at them fiercely.
