Chapter 205: Poison inside, vicious intention
"You didn't cough like this when you visited the City God Temple yesterday. Did you catch a cold?" Ji Weibo asked with concern.
Zhou Yuxin had a lot of fun yesterday and was in good spirits. But today she seems to be worse than yesterday. Is she tired?
"My body is like this, it keeps going up and down, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad."
Zhou Yuxin smiled helplessly, her eyes dim. She thought she was getting better, but it turned out to be the same as before.
"You will definitely get better. Medical science will only become more and more advanced in the future. These are just minor problems. It's okay." Tian Xinxin comforted.
Zhou Yuxin nodded. The reason she chose to study medicine was also to save herself.
She couldn't bear to die.
"Yuxin, the jade Buddha you are wearing is very beautiful. I don't think I saw you wearing it last week?" Jiang Hanyan asked casually.
"This jade Buddha is not cheap, it seems to be made of Hetian jade. I have one too."
Tian Xinxin pulled out a jade Buddha from her collar, which was smoother than Zhou Yuxin's.
"My mother specially asked a master to bless it, saying that it can protect me from harm. I started wearing it when I was ten years old and have never taken it off." Tian Xinxin said with a smile.
"I have worn this for many years. My aunt gave it to me when I was eight years old. She also said it was blessed by a master."
Zhou Yuxin recalled and explained the origin of the jade Buddha, but she actually didn't like this jade Buddha. However, every time her aunt came to her house, she would ask about the jade Buddha and asked her to wear it, saying that it was a token of her aunt's love and would bless her with peace and happiness.
She had no choice but to wear it. After all, it was a gift from her elders, and the relationship between her aunt and her mother was a little mysterious, so it was better to have less trouble than more.
"Can I see this jade Buddha?" Jiang Hanyan asked.
"sure."
Zhou Yuxin took off the jade Buddha and handed it over.
As soon as Jiang Hanyan's hand touched the jade Buddha, her palm felt like it was burned by a red-hot iron and she almost dropped the jade Buddha. She used a lot of strength to control herself from throwing it away.
Taking a deep breath and holding the jade Buddha tightly, Jiang Hanyan sensed the space's strong rejection of the jade Buddha. According to her understanding, space was a spiritual object of heaven and earth, and the jade Buddha was an evil object. The two were repulsive, so she had such a big reaction.
She also knew the reason why Zhou Yuxin was in poor health. It was because of this jade Buddha. There might be other things, but this jade Buddha was definitely the main factor.
Because the jade Buddha contained poison, Zhou Yuxin wore it close to her heart, and over time the toxin seeped into her body. The poison would not kill her immediately, but would develop slowly, and even if she died, the forensic doctor would not be able to detect it.
What a sinister plot!
"Hanyan, what's wrong?" Zhou Yuxin felt a little uneasy. Is there something wrong with this jade Buddha?
Jiang Hanyan stretched out her hand and placed the jade Buddha on the table. Tian Xinxin wanted to pick it up and compare it with her own.
"Don't move."
Jiang Hanyan shouted.
Tian Xinxin was so frightened that her hand shrank back like a spring and she looked at her blankly.
"Don't touch this jade Buddha, it's poisonous!"
Jiang Hanyan told them the truth. Everyone was shocked and gasped in unison. The plot in the TV drama was happening right next to them.
Zhou Yuxin's face turned pale, and her lips lost all color. She had been wearing the jade Buddha most of the time since she was eight years old, but this thing was poisonous. So was her poor health caused by this thing? "Han Yan, I'm not sick, I'm poisoned, right?" Zhou Yuxin asked with difficulty.
Jiang Hanyan nodded, "Yes, on the first day of school, I noticed that you were poisoned, but we were not familiar with each other at that time, so it was inconvenient for me to tell you. Also, I was not sure why you were poisoned, so I only confirmed it today."
Zhou Yuxin's face turned even paler, but she was very calm. Tian Xinxin and the others didn't dare to say anything. They just stared at the jade Buddha on the table, not knowing what to do.
"This...what kind of poison is this? Hanyan, are you okay after taking it just now?" Tian Xinxin was extremely worried.
"It's okay. The poison is hidden inside the Jade Buddha. Only a little bit can seep out every day. You have to be in contact with it for a long time to be poisoned. I only took it for a while, so it won't have any effect."
Jiang Hanyan took out a tissue from her pocket, wrapped it around the jade Buddha, stood up and said, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."
"Let's go to the lotus pond." Ji Weibo said.
The five of them went to the lotus pond. There were many people there at night, but no one at noon. There were stone benches and stone tables by the pond, which was a good place to cool off and read.
Jiang Hanyan took out a small knife from her bag and said to Zhou Yuxin, "Open it?"
"Open it."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhou Yuxin nodded. She wanted to see what the thing that had harmed her for ten years looked like.
The design of the jade Buddha was very clever, and one could not find the mechanism without careful observation. Jiang Hanyan found a secret button on the back of the jade Buddha. With a slight flick of the knife, a hole appeared in the belly of the Buddha. Some dark red powder poured out onto the paper, but not much. After ten years, the powder had almost seeped out.
Jiang Hanyan picked up the paper and smelled it. The burning sensation in her heart became more and more intense, and a detoxification plan appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the detoxification could be done, it would be good.
"You are lucky. The poison has not completely corroded your internal organs, so you can be saved. If it passes another year, Huatuo's rebirth will be useless."
Jiang Hanyan made a witty remark, and the tense atmosphere eased a little. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Tian Xinxin even clasped her hands together exaggeratedly and kept chanting "Amitabha".
"Look, the poison powder is hidden in the stomach of the Jade Buddha, and seeps out from the small holes in the eyes, just a little bit every day, without anyone noticing."
Jiang Hanyan picked up the jade Buddha and held it up to the sunlight. Sure enough, she could see a tiny hole in the jade Buddha's eyes. Everyone felt a chill down their spine.
This thought is too vicious. What kind of hatred is it that makes people want to kill an eight-year-old child? "Yuxin, is your aunt your biological mother?" Ji Wei Bo asked.
Everyone nodded. They also wanted to know. Otherwise, how could an aunt poison her niece? Zhou Yuxin was very calm from beginning to end, but her face was very pale. It seemed that she was not calm inside. She shook her head and said, "She is not a biological child. She was adopted by my grandparents and came to my house when she was very young. In fact, there is no difference between a biological child and a biological child."
My grandparents and her father all treated my aunt as their own daughter and sister. My aunt was also very filial to my grandparents and often gave expensive gifts to my father and brother. Relatives all said that my aunt was not raised in vain and they were grateful.
"I was raised by him since he was a child and he was just like my biological son. How could it be... was I deceived?" Tian Xinxin said to herself.
Zhou Yuxin also had the same guess, maybe her aunt didn’t know it was poisonous?
Her aunt was very good to her and would give her a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year. She spent a lot of money on hospital visits, and her aunt also paid a lot. She also often bought her high-end nutritional supplements, such as sea cucumbers, deer antlers, wild ginseng, and ganoderma lucidum, every year. Although she couldn't eat them all, she was still very grateful.
Jiang Hanyan sneered and pointed at the jade Buddha and said, "This jade is of very good quality, and the carving is also very impressive. Especially the mechanism and poison, which are not something that ordinary people can figure out. Who would use such a thing to deliberately deceive people?"
She was 100% sure that Aunt Zhou Yuxin was deliberately harming people.
