Chapter 186 Ye Chutang Sickens Again
Ye Chutang quickly let go of Qi Yanzhou's wrist.
"A Zhou, you were busy looking for me before, and you used up too much internal energy, causing the poison to attack your heart. There is still some residual poison in your body. Wait until your internal energy recovers and expel it."
Qi Yanzhou had been so anxious to find Ye Chutang that he ran all over the woods until he was exhausted, and his face still looked ugly.
He nodded weakly, "Okay."
Ye Chutang handed his water bag to Qi Yanzhou, which contained spiritual spring water.
"Azhou, you are still very weak. Drink some water and sit down to rest. I will go and detoxify the officer and will be back soon."
Madam Qi quickly pulled Ye Chutang back and asked in a low voice, "Tang'er, why do you care about them?"
In her opinion, those officers were all bad guys who wanted to deal with the Qi family!
Ye Chutang patted Madam Ye's hand soothingly.
"Mom, I have my reasons for doing this. Don't worry, I won't do anything without benefits."
This made Old Madam Qi laugh.
"How can you say that about yourself, kid?"
"It doesn't matter what I say, mother just needs to know that Ah Zhou and I are of the same mind."
"Of course, Mom believes in you. Don't tire yourself out. Just let me know if you need help."
Ye Chutang nodded, "Okay."
After saying that, she came to the cart, took the bucket, and went to the lake.
The dead hornets floating on the lake were blown north by the summer wind.
The lake water in the east was cool and clear. Ye Chutang filled half a bucket and put the remaining twenty or so antidote pills into the bucket.
Then use spiritual spring water to fill the remaining space to enhance the effectiveness of the antidote.
She broke off a branch from a nearby tree and mixed the antidote.
"My lords, come and drink the antidote!"
Wu Chenggang was the first to come to the water bucket and he even brought his own bowl.
He looked at Ye Chutang suspiciously, "Can such a small amount of antidote dissolved in such a large bucket of water really detoxify?"
Ye Chutang took Wu Chenggang's bowl, scooped out a small half bowl and handed it to him.
"Won't you know after you finish drinking, sir?"
Wu Chenggang took the bowl and asked tentatively: "If there is drug in this water, won't we all be poisoned and have to watch you run away?"
"This whole world belongs to the king, where do you think we can escape to?
If the Qi family escapes, even if they can be rehabilitated in the future, they will give people a reason to criticize them, which will not be worth the loss. ”
These two sentences convinced Wu Chenggang, and he drank half a bowl of water in one gulp.
A slight sweet taste enters the throat, and the pain from being stung is significantly relieved.
He handed the empty bowl to the person next to him, "This antidote is fine, drink it."
Seeing the officer scooping a large bowl of antidote, Ye Chutang quickly grabbed his wrist, turned it over, and poured out a lot of the water in the bowl.
"Sir, there are many of you and the poison is not serious. It is enough for each of you to drink half a bowl, otherwise there will not be enough."
Wu Chenggang didn't want to conflict with Han Chong over the antidote, so he immediately instructed his men.
"You should listen to Madam Qi and don't be greedy."
"Yes, Wutou."
Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do, Ye Chutang said, "You guys drink. I should go cook. I've been busy for so long. I'm tired and hungry."
After she reminded them, everyone realized that they were also starving.
Seeing that everyone was in such a miserable state, Wu Chenggang knew that they would not be able to continue their journey, so he shouted, "We are not leaving today. Let's rest here!"
Hearing this, the Qi, Zhao and Ye families were extremely happy.
Ye Chutang found a place not far from the lake and with shade from big trees as his camp.
Seeing that she was busy preparing lunch again, Madam Qi said quickly, "Tang'er, take a rest. Mother will make lunch."
Although she seldom cooks, she always tries to do it, otherwise she never will.
"Mom, can you do it?"
Madam Qi listened to Ye Chutang's suspicious words and shook her head honestly, "No, you can teach me later."
Ye Chutang was a little tired and really didn't want to do it, so he didn't refuse.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll go get the dishes I'm going to make today and teach you."
"You've always been the one cooking, and you're the one working hard."
At this time, Aunt Xu walked over quickly.
"Madam, I will do it with you."
Mrs. Qi was more than happy to have someone to help with cooking.
"OK."
Qi Yanzhou originally wanted to take over the job of making lunch, but Ye Chutang refused on the grounds that he needed to rest.
He remembered that the pots and bowls had not been washed this morning, so he said, "I'll go wash the pots and bowls."
Aunt Xu took away the pots and pans before he could do anything.
"Second Master, you and your wife should have a good rest and don't do anything."
Seeing that Qi Yanzhou wanted to do something, Ye Chutang looked at the watermelons on the cart.
"Azhou, I want to eat watermelon. Can you cut it for me?"
"Okay, wait."
The cart had been placed under the shade of a tree, so the watermelons were not cold, but they were not heated by the sun either.
Qi Yanzhou cut the watermelon into pieces.
Ye Chutang was speechless for a while.
If I had known this man had such poor hands-on skills, I would not have let him do this job.
Just as she thought of this, she saw Qi Yanzhou put the center of the watermelon in a bowl, cut it into small pieces, and handed it to her.
The center is not only the sweetest, but also seedless.
Ye Chutang stared at the red watermelon flesh, "Why are you..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Yanzhou stuffed the bowl into Ye Chutang's hand.
"This watermelon is given to you by Song Jingning. We can eat it because of you. Eat it."
Seeing how considerate and attentive her son was to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qi smiled.
"Tang'er, you have helped the Qi family a lot, so you deserve to eat the best."
After saying that, she looked at Qi Yanzhou.
"Zhou'er, there should be fish in this lake. See if you can catch two and make soup with them later."
Qi Yanzhou knew that Ye Chutang couldn't stand the smell of fish, so he refused immediately.
"Mom, the lake is too deep and it's hard to catch fish. I'll go to the woods and see if I can catch some game."
"That's fine, but you have to take care of yourself and don't try to be brave."
"Got it, Mom, let's eat some watermelon first and then get busy with the cooking."
Hearing this, Ye Chutang suddenly remembered something.
"Mother, Aunt Su and Qi Jingyao owe me two hundred taels of silver. I have to work to pay them off. All the dirty and tiring work will be given to them."
After saying that, she gave another reminder.
"These two are restless. We need to keep an eye on them while they work."
Madam Qi ate the watermelon and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Although the watermelon was big, Qi Yanzhou did not share any with Aunt Su and the other three.
When Ye Chutang was about to finish the watermelon in his bowl, Han Chong came back with three Northern Barbarian spies and Ruger, whose true face could not be seen after being stung.
He threw Luger in front of Ye Chutang.
"Did Madam Qi cause the injuries on his body?"
Ye Chutang had previously used his earth-related abilities to cut a web-like pattern of wounds on Ruger's body.
After he was stung by a wasp and his whole body was swollen, the wound was completely stretched open, giving him the appearance of "kidney slices".
"I did it. You should believe me now. I saved everyone, right?"
Han Chong believed it, but the injuries on Ruger's body were too strange and did not seem to be man-made.
"How did you hurt him like this?"
"An extremely sharp wire."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he felt around his waist and took out a small roll of thin steel wire with a knife edge.
This is indeed her weapon, used to cut zombies during the apocalypse.
At that time, she had strong internal strength and could easily cut the zombies into pieces.
She shook the silver-shining steel wire in her hand and asked, "Sir, do you want to try it?"
Han Chong always felt that Ye Chutang was lying. His fingertips slid across the thin steel wire, leaving a trace of blood.
"It's very sharp. I want to try it."
"Okay, after I finish eating the watermelon, I'll let you feel it."
Ye Chutang finished the little watermelon that was left and put the empty bowl on the cart.
"Sir, please come this way."
She invited Han Chong to an open space nearby and shook her wrist vigorously.
The steel wire was like a living thing, wrapping around Han Chong's body in circles, cutting through his clothes and digging into his skin.
The blood instantly dyed the official uniform red.
His men's faces changed slightly, and they quickly shouted, "Stop it now."
Ye Chutang ignored him, shook his wrist and took away the wire.
Then, he shook his wrist again, and the steel wire wrapped around Han Chong in the opposite direction.
She looked at the grid-shaped scars on Han Chong's body, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sir, do you believe it now?"
Han Chong is a martial arts master, but he couldn't make Ruger's wounds so even, so he suspected Ye Chutang.
He looked at the wounds on his body and nodded, "I believe it."
Ye Chutang took back the blood-stained thin steel wire, wiped it clean on his coarse cloth, and hid it back around his waist.
"A true man stands in heaven and earth, and he must repay a favor, right?"
Han Chong pursed his lips into a straight line and asked instead of answering, "How did Madam Qi make Ruger suffer the consequences of his actions?"
Logically speaking, after the bee controller died, the hornets should be leaderless and leave on their own.
Why do they collectively attack bee controllers?
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Because I am a doctor, I have a drug that can confuse people's minds and make them obey orders. Otherwise, how do you think I know that there are sixteen secret agents and know their names?"
After that, she asked again: "Sir, do you want me to verify it?"
Han Chong actually believed Ye Chutang, but he still asked for verification in case Ye Chutang was in collusion with the northern barbarians.
Ye Chutang sighed deeply, "Hey, why is it so difficult to get a life-saving favor?"
After saying that, she took out a bottle of truth serum from her arms.
Han Chong looked at the transparent liquid in the transparent glass bottle and asked, "What is this?"
"A good thing to make the officials obedient."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he casually pointed at the Dragon Guard.
"It's you, cut your neck."
After getting Han Chong's consent, the Dragon Guard cut his neck with a sword.
Ye Chutang poured some truth serum on the wound.
He covered the wound with his palm, forced the potion into the Dragon Guard's body, and used his internal force to catalyze the effect.
The dragon guard's eyes became blurred at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Who are you?"
"Han Shi, affiliated with..."
Before he could finish introducing himself, Han Chong slashed him on the back of the neck with a knife, and he passed out.
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows, "Does your Excellency have any questions?"
"No, I owe Madam Qi a life. If you need it, come and get it anytime."
"Okay, there's the antidote in the bucket by the lake, each of you drink a small bowl."
Han Cong clasped his fists towards Ye Chutang and said, "Thank you very much."
After saying this, he left with his men and the Northern Barbarians' spies.
Ye Chutang met Qi Yanzhou's confused eyes and said with a smile: "I'll tell you in detail later."
Qi Yanzhou nodded and looked at Ye Chutang's waist.
"Atang, why do you always hide so many things on you?"
Ye Chutang heard it was a test.
She didn't blame Qi Yanzhou for thinking too much, after all, she could always take out strange things from her body.
But what she took out in public were all small items that could be used to make up for the loss.
"The journey of exile is not peaceful, so I must carry something to save my life with me."
This explanation was very reasonable, so Qi Yanzhou did not ask any more questions.
"I've been to that huge tree before and didn't see anyone."
He had the same idea as Ye Chutang. The person controlling the hornets must be standing in a high place and having a comprehensive view of the whole situation.
So when he went into the woods to find her and Qi Hean, he also looked for the beekeeper.
Ye Chutang was not surprised that Qi Yanzhou would go to the giant tree.
“After I found Luger in the giant tree, he ran away and I chased him for a long time before I caught him.
I heard you calling me, but I was too busy dealing with Luger to answer.
After catching him, I was busy trying to get the secret out of him, sorry. ”
What Qi Yanzhou wanted was not Ye Chutang's apology, but honesty.
He didn't believe all of her explanation, but he didn't ask any further questions.
"I'm going to the woods to see if I can get any game."
After saying that, he left.
Ye Chutang took out the dishes for lunch and handed them to Madam Qi.
"Mom, everyone is tired, so let's just have something simple for lunch. Make some pumpkin steamed eggs, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and some cold shredded radish."
"Mom listens to you. I'll do whatever you say."
After saying that, Madam Qi instructed Mr. Qi.
"Master, the officials have already drunk the antidote. Go wash the bucket and fetch some water."
Mr. Qi responded and went towards the lake.
At this time, Aunt Xu came back with the washed pots and bowls.
Ye Chutang taught her and Old Madam Qi how to cook.
Qi Hean came over to help.
His butt was no longer swollen, but still a little sore.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ye Chutang waved his hand nonchalantly.
"We're a family, you're welcome."
Aunt Xu put down the pumpkin in her hand and bowed solemnly to Ye Chutang.
"Madam, you saved my life and He'er's life. If you have anything to ask for, just give it to me. I will never refuse."
"Okay, let's cook. I'm a little hungry."
Under Ye Chutang's instruction, the Qi family prepared three dishes in an orderly manner.
While cooking, Qi Yanzhou came back.
He caught two little wild boars and picked a lot of prickly ash.
"Atang, you must have eaten this when you were in the countryside. Here you go."
There were originally many small thorns on the stem of the prickly pear, but he wiped them off.
He also wrapped it with leaves so that it wouldn't prick his hands.
Ye Chutang looked at the yellow and red raspberries, recalled its sweet and sour taste, and immediately reached out to take it.
After tasting one, she nodded, "It's delicious."
Although modern cultivated varieties are seedless, they are sweeter and lack the original fruity flavor.
When the weather isn't so hot, she's going to dig up two plants and plant them in the space.
Seeing that Ye Chutang liked it, Qi Yanzhou smiled and said, "I'll pick more for you later."
"Okay, let's go together."
After saying that, her eyes fell on the fat wild boar cub.
"We'll have roast suckling pig tonight."
Qi Yanzhou also planned this, "Okay."
Wild boar cubs are not big, two are just right for a family of six.
Qi Hean asked Ye Chutang curiously, "Second sister-in-law, you are so capable, why do you want to suffer in the countryside?"
As soon as these words came out, the two elders of the Qi family also looked towards Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang picked several raspberries and stuffed them into his mouth.
"I was hiding my incompetence, so I allowed the Ye family to slander my reputation, hoping to use this as an excuse to leave the Ye family. But before I could implement my plan, I was taken back to the Ye family."
"I see. Fortunately, my second sister-in-law came to the capital, otherwise my second brother and I would not have been able to get married."
Ye Chutang and Qi Yanzhou looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.
"Yeah, it's all fate."
Who could have known that their fate had already begun in a country village.
The rice was cooked quickly.
Ye Chutang also shared all the prickly ash.
She took out some dried venison from the dry goods box and made a dish out of it.
"I made this when I was at the Ye family. I hid it on the eve of my wedding and brought it with me when I went shopping. Come and have a taste."
After she explained it, the Qi family believed it.
Six people sat around the wooden basin.
They were all hungry, but their manners were ingrained in their bones, so even if they ate quickly, it did not damage their image.
The aroma of the food spread, arousing the appetite of countless people.
The gurgling sounds came one after another.
Except for Ye Chutang and the other six, the others did not cook because they were in pain from the stings.
While drinking water from the lake, I ate steamed buns, naan and pickles.
Aunt Su looked at the six people eating happily and regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
Now, not only did she have no money and could only eat coarse food, she also had to work like a slave for Ye Chutang!
If she had known this, she would have handed over the jewelry at that time!
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret.
After finishing his meal, Ye Chutang took a walk under the shade of a tree to help digest his food.
The task of cleaning up the mess was left to Aunt Su.
"Wash the pots and bowls for five cents."
Aunt Su was so shocked that she held up five fingers.
"Only five cents? When can I pay back the two hundred taels of silver?"
Qi Yanzhou said, "Auntie, have you forgotten that the lowest-ranking servant in the mansion only gets 500 coins a month, which equals 17 coins for a day's work. Don't take advantage of this and act like a good boy."
These words left Aunt Su speechless.
Although she was not in charge of the household expenses, she still knew how much monthly salary the servants received.
"Wash, I'll go wash."
Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Ye Chutang reminded her: "If you can't wash it clean, wash it again."
Aunt Su looked reluctant, "Madam, I understand."
ah!
She roared in her heart: Why don’t the emperor’s people come to me and give me the task!
If there were a mission, she could make requests and get out of trouble!
After Qi Yanzhou walked with Ye Chutang for a while, he said, "Atang, I'm going to kill the pig and marinate it for half a day."
Wild boars have a strong fishy smell, so they need to be marinated first to remove the fishy smell.
Ye Chutang nodded, "Okay, you take care of it, I'll pickle it."
When it comes to barbecue, she is second to none.
Qi Yanzhou was worried that the pork was too fishy and would cause Ye Chutang to have acid reflux.
"You speak, and I'll do it."
After that, he said to Aunt Xu: "Aunt, please boil a pot of water for me. I want to remove the hair from the pig."
"Okay, I'll boil some water after Su finishes washing the pot."
After Qi Yanzhou responded, he carried the two wild boar cubs and walked towards the lake.
Qi Hean followed happily.
"Brother, I'll help you."
Old Madam Qi spread both oilcloths on the ground.
"Tang'er, come and rest."
Ye Chutang sprinkled insect repellent powder around the oilcloth and lay down to rest.
The big tree is lush and leafy, blocking the strong sunlight.
The summer breeze blew, the leaves fluttered, and tiny spots of light fell through the gaps.
Dust dances in the light and shadow.
Ye Chutang looked at Han Chong who was far away at the entrance of the lake.
He was interrogating Beichen's spy.
Because they were far away, she couldn't hear what he was asking.
But from Han Chong's expression, it can be seen that the interrogation did not go smoothly.
Yes, people who can be secret agents are very tight-lipped.
If she hadn't used truth serum and hypnosis, it would have been impossible to get the information out.
Han Chong noticed Ye Chutang's gaze and strode towards her.
At this time.
Aunt Su washed the pot and Aunt Xu immediately boiled water.
Qi Yanzhou wiped the wild boar's neck and held it upside down to drain the blood.
Although the smell of blood was strong, he was downwind and could not smell it at all in the camp.
But when Han Chong walked in front of Ye Chutang, a whirlwind suddenly blew up, bringing the smell of blood to the camp.
Aunt Xu, who was boiling water, pinched her nose.
"The blood of this wild boar is really smelly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of retching.
"vomit!"
Ye Chutang immediately stood up, ran to the woods downwind, and vomited violently.
This unexpected change frightened the two elders of the Qi family.
Madam Qi immediately came to Ye Chutang and asked with concern: "Tang'er, what's wrong with you?"
After asking, she immediately raised her hand to pat Ye Chutang's back.
Ye Chutang hadn't had morning sickness for a long time, but once she started vomiting, she couldn't stop.
I almost vomited out the bitter bile.
Madam Qi was an experienced person and immediately suspected that Ye Chutang was pregnant.
After all, there were rumors that she was pregnant.
Although she later clarified the rumors, Zhao Simin and Ye Siyin were still sent to jail because of it.
But Ye Chutang is an excellent doctor, so changing the pulse is not a difficult task for her.
Thinking of this, Madam Qi felt a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't show it.
Han Chong followed and asked Ye Chutang, "Madam Qi, are you sick?"
He actually wanted to ask Ye Chutang if she was pregnant.
But thinking that she and Qi Yanzhou had just gotten married and had not yet consummated their marriage, asking this question would damage her reputation, so she changed her words.
Ye Chutang felt so uncomfortable from vomiting that he didn't want to say a word.
When the whirlwind blew back, Qi Yanzhou gave the wild boar cub to Qi Hean and went to find Ye Chutang.
He stood not far away, not daring to approach him.
I was afraid that the blood smell on my body would bother her and make her morning sickness worse.
"Atang, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Yanzhou's sudden voice attracted the attention of Old Madam Qi and Han Chong.
Ye Chutang took advantage of this opportunity and used silver needles to block his sense of smell.
The effect is immediate and the nausea subsides immediately.
She stood up, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"A Zhou, I'm fine. Maybe I ate too much and mixed too much, which hurt my stomach."
Qi Yanzhou guessed that Ye Chutang had blocked her sense of smell and quickly walked over to her side.
"It's my fault. I cut too much watermelon for you and it got cold in your stomach."
It is well known that watermelon is a cool fruit.
Madam Qi and Han Chong immediately dispelled their suspicions that Ye Chutang was pregnant.
The old lady glared at Qi Yanzhou.
"I know you love Tang'er, but you can't be greedy for anything. Be more careful next time."
"Mother, I know."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he helped Ye Chutang back to the tree and poured her a glass of water.
After Ye Chutang rinsed his mouth, he asked Han Chong, "What does the officer want to see me for?"
"I want to borrow Miss Ye's bottle of obedient potion to interrogate the Northern Barbarians' spy."
"Sir, you are just the officers escorting the exiled prisoners. Shouldn't the spy be sent back to the capital and let the Dali Temple investigate?"
