Chapter 296: Jade Ganoderma is Poison

"That Jade Ganoderma is poisonous. If you get it on you will die. Throw it away!"

Even though Jiujiu got her skirt dirty, she had to keep the herbs. How could she possibly throw them away?

These are all treasures.

Jiujiu looked at the herbs in her arms with cherishment and retorted: "Little cousin, these are not poisons, they are all treasures."

"Why isn't it poison?"

Nan Yuanxiang became anxious. She took a few steps forward and tried to knock all the medicine out of Jiujiu's arms and throw them on the ground so that Jiujiu would not be able to touch them.

"Jiujiu, listen to me, throw it away quickly."

"When I was very young, people around me told me that this Jade Ganoderma is extremely poisonous and that anyone who touches it will die, so it should not be touched."

"How did you get so many of them?"

Nan Yuanxiang's palms were full of cold sweat, fearing that something might happen to Jiujiu because of the medicine.

She wanted to ask Jiujiu to throw it away, but Jiujiu avoided her hands wrapped in her sleeves and refused to let her touch it.

Nan Yuanxiang sighed repeatedly and said, "Jiujiu, have you ever wondered why there are so many Emerald Ganoderma here?"

"It's because it's highly poisonous and not a good thing, so no one picks it."

【ah?】

[No wonder there is not a single Jade Ganoderma in the palace.]

[It turns out that everyone thought it was poisonous, so they didn’t pick it. ]

【What a waste of natural resources! 】

Jiujiu was full of regret.

This Jade Ganoderma is really a good thing for treating headaches.

Nan Yuanxiang didn't want to listen to what Jiujiu was mumbling in her heart at this moment. She took two steps forward and tried to forcibly throw away the Cui Yuzhi that Jiujiu was holding. Jiujiu's resistance was in vain.

At this moment, Nan Yuanxiang's movements were very agile and Jiujiu was unable to dodge.

The herbs that Jiujiu had collected with so much effort were thrown on the ground.

Jiujiu was very anxious, "Little cousin."

“Don’t pick it up.” Nan Yuanxiang saw Jiujiu was about to pick it up and pulled Jiujiu back.

Jiujiu said, "Little cousin, this medicine is not poisonous. It is a good thing. If it was really poisonous, I would have been poisoned long ago."

"Because these herbs were all picked by me. They were not obtained from anywhere, nor were they given to me by some kind person."

"What?" Nan Yuanxiang couldn't believe it. "You picked it yourself?"

Nan Yuanxiang became more and more uneasy and panicked. She hurriedly checked Jiujiu's body to see if there were any signs of poisoning.

Since she was a child, people around her have told her that if anyone touches this Jade Ganoderma, they will be poisoned to death.

Jiujiu actually picked the poison with his own hands?

But it seems Jiujiu is fine.

Jiujiu's oval face was rosy, her palms were bloody, and her lips were rosy. She looked in good spirits and did not look poisoned at all.

"I'm really fine." Jiujiu said, leaning over to pick up the herbs thrown on the ground. "After all, I'm studying medicine, so I can't be unable to tell whether the medicine is poisonous or not."

Nan Yuanxiang saw Jiujiu picking up medicine and still not feeling any discomfort, so she no longer doubted anything and squatted down to pick up the medicine with her.

What you hear is not as good as what you see.

Jiujiu touched the medicine himself but was not poisoned, so it should not be poisonous.

She believes in Jiujiu.

People around me probably misunderstood this medicine.

After picking up the medicine, Jiujiu, Nanyuan, Xiangfeng and Yunyi returned to Dazhuang's house chatting and laughing.

As they walked, they suddenly heard a child crying.

The voice seemed familiar, like... like the little boy Jiujiu met when he first entered the village.

It was indeed the little boy's. The little boy had no father or mother and usually made a living by begging.

But he has a grandfather.

His grandfather originally lived in a neighboring village, but because he was seriously ill and had no other relatives, he moved to Shitou Village and lived with the little boy.

The two people, one old and one young, had no ability to survive and no land, so they could only beg for a living and lived an extremely hard life.

To make matters worse, the little boy's grandfather suddenly became seriously ill and suffered a headache, causing him to suffer terribly and in agony every day.

The old man has been enduring this disease for decades, but now he can't bear it anymore.

Plus other physical discomfort.

He felt that he had reached his limit and could not endure it any longer.

He doesn't want to live anymore, he just wants to die.

At this moment, he kept banging his head against the pillars and walls. His head was bleeding, but he did not stop.

He just wanted to be free.

The little boy wiped his tears and pulled him to stop him, "Grandpa, please don't do this, okay?"

“You still have stones!”

"If you leave, how will the stone live?"

The little boy's name is Shitou, Shitou from Shitou Village.

The little boy had no father or mother and was illiterate, so he gave himself this name.

"Grandpa, I beg you, please live well and don't die." Shitou said with tears and snot.

"Shitou, you can live on your own." The old man cried in pain and said, "Grandpa is a burden to you if he is alive. It is better for him to die."

"It hurts. It hurts so much. I really can't stand it."

"I just want to die."

"No, don't." Shi Tou tried his best to stop him.

The old man gritted his teeth, pushed the stone aside, and crashed into it himself.

He used a lot of force, rushing towards death, leaving no room for maneuver.

If you hit it, you will die.

But Jiujiu showed up in time to stop him. He grabbed the old man's skinny and cracked hands and said to him, "You kept hitting your head with your hands just now. You must have a headache. Looking at your expression, demeanor, face, and body shape, I guess you have been suffering from headaches for several years and are extremely depressed."

"Now that your headache is coming back and the pain is unbearable, you want to die and be done with it, right?"

right--

But the old man didn't want to admit it, nor did he want to say more.

"Little girl, don't worry about the old man's business."

"Let me die."

The local barefoot doctor couldn't cure his headache, and he didn't have the money to find a better doctor. He could barely make ends meet, and he was in excruciating pain. He was tortured and depressed every day.

He wanted to be free.

His only way out is death.

He has no way to survive.

Not at all.

Jiujiu said: "Your headache is not a big deal. This medicine is very effective. If you take one, you will see the effect immediately!"

Jiujiu said as she took out a plant from her skirt pocket and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked at the medicine and smiled, but his turbid smile was filled with despair, and tears came out of his smile.

He sniffed and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.

"As expected, if you have no money and no power, anyone can bully you."

"Let's not talk about those sophisticated and snobbish adults, but now a little girl like this is bullying others."

The old man's tears as big as beans kept falling down his wrinkled face.

"I'm not stupid, old man. Your Cui Yu Zhi is a deadly poison. How can it cure headaches?"

"You lied to me, lied to me."

"When I was dying, there were still children trying to trick me. They didn't treat me like a human being at all. My whole life has been a complete joke."
