In the captain's yard, Qin Yuping's body was soft and weak, and she wanted to lean on the captain like a willow in the wind.
The captain looked frightened and dodged 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, and Xu Nuannuan gestured to him with her finger. He then continued to ask Qin Yuping: "Tell me, what exactly did you ask me to do?"
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 at our educated youth camp. All the educated youth at our educated youth camp have been poisoned, but Xu Zhiqing is the only one who is not feeling well. 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 all work together to find a way to overcome them, not gossip and complain about others behind their backs like you do. Don't I know Xu Zhiqing better than you do what kind of person she is? She's doing this for our village, and she wouldn't poison anyone. You need to reflect on yourself."
"But she's the only one in the entire educated youth camp who did this. 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 her ease, "If you can come, why can't I? If I don't come, I won't hear you complaining about me."
Seeing that Xu Nuannuan was still safe and sound, Qin Yuping stopped panicking and said to the captain, "Captain, look, we're all poisoned, except for her. 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 as soon as possible, otherwise you will be making a false accusation and deliberately framing our comrade."
Xu Nuannuan said, "Uncle Yu, we can put aside her false accusation against me for now. Let's deal with the current situation as quickly as possible. Comrade Jiang Ye and I saw Zhao Pandi sneaking around 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. Since we don't even have a village doctor here, I was thinking of reporting it to the authorities. 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, "Hurry up and inform the team leaders to go door to door and find someone to watch over the well."
"Damn it, Dad."
"Also, we need to arrest 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 in or out. 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's work was much more reliable than his two sons. Jiang Ye glanced in Xu Nuannuan's direction and said, "Okay, I'll go then."
The captain then turned to his two sons, "Hurry up and arrest both the mother and the 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. Let me check on them first. It won't be easy to send all of them to the hospital. We all have no money in our 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 toxins have been diluted by the well water, their toxicity has been greatly reduced. As long as we find a way to alleviate their symptoms and remove most of the toxins, the remaining toxins will be slowly metabolized and excreted in their bodies, and they will be gone after a while."
