Chapter 171 Mo Zhongyuan
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye both looked in the direction of Xie Tianhai's finger.
The house was at the easternmost end, and it should be the one where the officials reminded them that it was haunted.
The house does look good from the outside. Unlike other buildings, it doesn't look crooked.
But the area is very small, and it seems there are only two rooms at most.
Putting aside the question of whether the place is haunted, how can so many people be accommodated in just two small rooms?
Seeing the habitable house, Xie Tianhai couldn't wait to take his two sons there.
Cui Lizheng saw him walking towards that direction, and a sinister smile instantly crossed his face.
Seeing this, Mo Chuhan hurriedly called out to the Xie father and son.
"Uncle Xie, please stay. I'll go with you to see it later."
He didn't know what was so strange about the house that people said it was haunted. Neither the Xie father nor his son knew martial arts, so if they were in danger, there would be no one to take care of them.
Xie Tianhai listened to the Mo family the most. When he heard Mo Chuhan calling him, he obediently turned back with his two sons.
Cui Lizheng was obviously disappointed when he saw the father and son of the Xie family coming back, but he did not show it on his face.
He said seriously, "You can choose any house here. You can live wherever you want. I have already fulfilled your request, so I will not accompany you any longer."
After saying that, he called Cui Minglin and turned to leave.
Only after the Cui family father and son walked away did Xie Tianhai start to complain angrily.
"A house like this, do you want us to freeze to death here?"
Mo Jiuye stepped forward to console him: "Uncle Fang, don't worry. Let's wait and see and make plans later."
At this time, it was already dark. Xie Chao found two thick wooden sticks from somewhere and lit them to use as temporary lighting tools.
Considering that the female members were timid, Mo Jiuye and Mo Chuhan decided that they, the two brothers, would go and check it out first, while everyone else would wait where they were.
He Zhiran knew that the two brothers were going to check the easternmost house, so she naturally didn't want to be left behind in such matters.
At her strong request, the brothers finally agreed to let her go with them.
The three of them held a torch and walked towards the easternmost part, observing as they walked, hoping to find a few more courtyards where they could temporarily stay.
Just when they had walked halfway, the three of them vaguely heard a miserable wailing coming from the east.
The three of them stopped at the same time.
"Ninth brother, there must be something fishy going on there."
Mo Jiuye nodded slightly: "Well, let's try to be as quiet as possible so as not to alert the enemy."
As for the ghost stories, the brothers didn't believe them.
Even if there is, they are not afraid.
The three of them tiptoed towards the east, and the sound became clearer as they walked.
Mo Jiuye frowned: "Myna, do you feel that this voice is familiar?"
"Ninth brother, do you feel the same way?" Mo Chuhan asked back.
"Let's go, let's walk faster and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Jiuye had already taken He Zhiran's little hand and his pace had quickened a lot.
As they got closer, everyone could confirm that the sound came from the room in the east.
From the painful sound, it can be heard that this is a man, and his body is very weak. If he was not in great pain, he would not have been able to make such a loud cry.
Mo Chuhan took the torch from Mo Jiuye.
"Ninth brother, you and your sister-in-law wait here first. I'll go in and take a look."
When faced with such an unknown situation, it would be most reasonable for one person to stay outside to provide support, and Mo Jiuye did not object.
"Okay, be careful, myna."
Mo Chuhan held the torch and walked into the house carefully.
After about a few dozen seconds, Mo Chuhan shouted loudly: "Ninth brother, come in quickly, it's Fifth Brother, he's still alive."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran and ran into the house.
The two men walked into the house, and in the light of the torch, they could see a man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes standing opposite the door.
The man looked emaciated, with his arms spread apart and firmly chained.
There was no focus in his eyes, and he kept wailing in pain.
Mo Jiuye stepped forward and took the torch from Mo Chuhan's hand, looking at the man carefully.
"Fifth Brother, it's really Fifth Brother, why is he here?"
At this time, Mo Chuhan had already strode forward, touched the chains with his hands, trying to find a way to rescue Mo Chongyuan.
He Zhiran immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Wait a minute, mynah."
Mo Chuhan looked at her with some confusion: "Sister-in-law, Fifth Brother looks very miserable. Let me rescue him first."
"Eighth Brother, Fifth Brother must have been poisoned. If you rescue him now, he might lose control even more."
He Zhiran observed Mo Zhongyuan's condition from the moment he entered the door.
Judging from the slightly purple eye sockets, it can be confirmed that the fifth brother was poisoned without a doubt.
As for what kind of poison he was infected with, we will have to check it out before we can know.
At this time, the poison should have taken effect.
Mo Jiuye understood He Zhiran's abilities and knew that she would never speak nonsense.
Although he felt sorry for his fifth brother, he still helped to persuade him: "Eighth brother, listen to Ranran, she knows medicine, she will not be wrong."
Mo Chuhan reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"Ninth sister-in-law, what do you think we should do now?"
He Zhiran did not answer immediately, but signaled Mo Jiuye to hold the man down, and she stepped forward to take Mo Chongyuan's pulse.
The test results were exactly as she had guessed.
Fortunately, the poison that Mo Chongyuan was infected with was not unfamiliar to He Zhiran.
This poison has the same effect as the "loss of consciousness" she made using the venom of the coral snake.
It's just that the drug makers added a few more drugs that drive people crazy.
"My dear, my fifth brother has indeed been poisoned. The poison he was poisoned with can make a person lose their mind, or even go crazy.
However, this poison only turns people into this state when it takes effect. I guess it won't be long before Fifth Brother regains consciousness."
"How long will it take for Fifth Brother to regain consciousness?" Mo Jiuye asked anxiously.
"Judging from Fifth Brother's current condition, he must have been poisoned for some time. I estimate he will recover in no more than two hours."
When Mo Chuhan heard that his fifth brother had to endure such torture for two hours, he felt very sorry for him.
"Ninth brother's sister, is there any good way to help fifth brother temporarily relieve his pain?"
Good idea?
The best way is to help Mo Zhongyuan get rid of the poison first.
Although He Zhiran was confident that he could prepare an antidote, it was not something he could do right now.
Now, it is still unknown what kind of medicine was added to the poison that Mo Zhongyuan was poisoned with, based on the "loss of consciousness". She must be sure before she can prepare the antidote.
This requires a process, and even if it goes smoothly, it will take some time.
He Zhiran took advantage of the cover of his sleeves to take out silver needles from the space and quickly inserted them into several acupuncture points of Mo Zhongyuan.
Soon, Mo Zhongyuan seemed to have fallen asleep and stopped struggling.
