"Don't just target wolves, there are also wild boars, bears, venomous snakes... There are so many ferocious beasts in the deep mountains. You'd better develop a targeted drug that can incapacitate the beasts while still being edible for humans without any side effects," Song Tantan sincerely suggested.
Ye Moxun chuckled, making it sound so simple. "Developing drugs isn't that easy. Even if you do develop one, there's no guarantee that it will be safe for people to take it. At most, it can target specific wild beasts and venomous snakes. I'm not omnipotent." He was trying to make things difficult for him again.
“I think you’re capable of anything, really.” Song Tantan said earnestly.
Ye Moxun: "..." He couldn't say he couldn't, so he could only force himself to accept this character setting.
Alright, I'll try my best to look it up in the book.
“Every time I develop a drug, you have to copy and translate it. I can’t always be the one doing the work. If this continues, I’ll feel resentful,” Ye Moxun said in a muffled voice.
“I’ve known you were resentful for a long time,” she said, pretending not to understand. Now that he had brought it up, she couldn’t pretend anymore. “I still have recipes to copy. I’ll only copy one of these. Let others copy the others. I’ll teach them to read and write quickly so that the copying work can be outsourced.”
To be honest, Song Tantan didn't want to copy any of them, but all the books in the supermarket were in simplified Chinese, which was not presentable. So she could only try her best to copy one copy of each book first, and then select a few people who could read quickly and write beautifully to copy several more books.
As for recipes and medical books, just copy one copy. These two are family heirlooms, and too many of them are worthless. Although they are currently trapped in the mountains and have no contact with the outside world, they will need some money to protect themselves when they are able to go out in the future.
I can only sell a small portion of the items in the supermarket, and many things can only be used secretly and cannot be sold. Better safe than sorry. In short, my life is the most precious thing, so I must be careful and discreet, keep my identity hidden, and be cautious not to expose myself.
Both Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan are cautious by nature, but the world is too challenging. Everything is lacking, and they can't make a living without creating something.
Ye Moxun always said that she was too cautious. "It's not that I look down on the intelligence of the ancients, but that their vision was not that broad. Who could have imagined that things and people from thousands of years later would appear now? They had not received this kind of education and thought, so they couldn't imagine it at all. At most, they could think of things like fox spirits and scholars falling in love, which was shocking enough. Don't always use your modern thinking to think about the thoughts of the ancients."
"Stop, this is so confusing. Don't you think the ancients were too stupid? They were very clever." Song Tantan disagreed with his idea; no one should be underestimated.
"It's not that people are stupid, but that they haven't been exposed to enough. For example, before you transmigrated, you were a village girl. Although your family's conditions were average, you were still a child who grew up in a blessed environment. Can you imagine what the real situation was like in ancient times of chaos and disaster? You can imagine the clothing and food, but can you understand the rules in the palace and the hierarchical system between high-ranking officials and commoners?"
Song Tantan began to think seriously. Although she had never experienced it firsthand before, she had read about it in books and had a general understanding of it. But that was very different from experiencing it in person. She never dared to imagine that one day she would pick up a knife and kill people, and kill many of them.
She was so engrossed in the killing that she didn't even realize it until she calmed down. After that, she was trembling violently, her stomach was churning, and she often had nightmares. She had a very difficult time. If it weren't for her aunt by her side, she couldn't even imagine what would have happened if she had come here alone to face all of this.
As for the so-called hierarchy, she knew about it, but couldn't understand it. Who told her to be mixed up with refugees as soon as she transmigrated, and then flee to the mountains where she couldn't get out? She would need the opportunity to understand it if she wanted to.
"Don't try to brainwash me. I won't easily reveal my location. You shut your mouth too. If I find out the information leaked from you, I'll throw you into the supermarket." You'll be an idiot when you come out of the supermarket. That's the harshest and cruelest punishment.
"I'll shut up. Calm down. Don't stare at me with such creepy eyes. I'll keep my mouth shut. I don't need to swear again, right?" Ye Moxun sighed helplessly. Why couldn't he trust him? He was about to throw him into the supermarket at the drop of a hat.
It wasn't that Song Tantan didn't trust him; she was just worried that the guy was greedy and might accidentally let something slip. Although he was very arrogant and didn't usually talk to people, she had to warn him from time to time just in case.
The village wall was finally completed in early June after a frantic rush. The wall, which was originally a little over a meter high, was raised by more than a meter after the wolf attack on the village, and is now three meters high. Many barbs were stuck on the wall, making it extremely difficult for even the largest beasts to leap over it.
The current problem is the crops planted in the fields. While everyone is busy building the fence, wild boars have come to damage the crops several times at night. Because someone is on night duty, and Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan arrived in time, they managed to catch a few wild boars.
However, the wild boars in the deep mountains are obviously numerous and large, each weighing at least five or six hundred pounds. As if in revenge, they are persistent and appear from time to time to rush into the fields and wreak havoc.
At first, they only appeared at night, but then suddenly a group of wild boars appeared during the day. The villagers dared not make any rash moves. The group of wild boars consisted of about ten animals, each weighing over 600 pounds. Their tusks were long and sharp, and a single gore could be fatal.
Even if Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan arrived in time, they could only kill two at most. Even if the men arrived together, they could only kill one or two wild boars. But even that couldn't scare the wild boars. The next time they appeared, there would be more of them. It was really strange.
"This medicine really can knock out wild boars. Are you sure that wild boars that have been drugged will be fine after eating it?" Song Tantan asked repeatedly, holding up several packets of powder.
"It's not poison, it's just a very potent anesthetic powder. No matter how big the beast is, it will faint within ten seconds as long as it smells this powder." Ye Moxun's eyes were filled with pride. Only he could develop such a powerful anesthetic powder.
It's definitely not as simple as what you read in the book. He also improved it, adding several more herbs to the original ingredients to achieve the desired effect. Just a tiny bit can knock out a large area; the medicinal properties are incredibly potent.
"Whoever smells it will faint. Can't it be that only the beasts faint while people don't?" Song Tantan frowned in dissatisfaction. If the person administering the drug also gets drugged, wouldn't that be a joke?
"So remember to take the antidote before taking the medicine. Wearing a mask won't help. You have to take the antidote. There are two kinds of antidotes. One kind will keep you safe for three hours, or six hours. The other kind will keep you safe for three days. I'll give you the latter kind of antidote." Ye Moxun had a 'I'm good to you' look on his face.
"Does the antidote have any side effects?" After all, every medicine has some degree of toxicity, and she was afraid that a strong antidote would also have a strong aftereffect, affecting her liver and kidney function or something.
Ye Moxun: "..." How can there be so many problems? He really didn't know if there would be any aftereffects. He hadn't researched it. After all, when the novel and TV series were being performed, everyone was focused on getting the antidote. Who cared about any aftereffects?
"I need to check this out." He resigned himself to his fate; if he didn't give Song Tantan a definite answer, her snacks would be cut again.
