"This is not a decision you can make."
An orc who looked to be about the same age as the chieftain stepped forward and spoke.
The chieftain didn't come today. This orc has a lot of authority, and his words represent the opinions of many people.
Shen Miao was not intimidated at all. She said indifferently, "I can leave or stay as I please. It's not up to you to make the decision for me. Besides, I want to ask, the three-month period hasn't ended yet. Does this bet mean it's invalid? The clan leader witnessed it firsthand. Do you want to be punished by the Beast God for going back on your word?!"
The beastmen felt a sense of fear when the Beast God was mentioned.
Seeing this, Shen Miao smiled knowingly: "Take your time to think it over. Do you want to break your promise and offend the Beast God, or wait three months and then tell me?"
She wanted to leave; she didn't want to get entangled with this group of people.
The old orc called out to her, saying in a deep voice, "Chen Miao, whether you are a jinx or not, you did bring disaster to the tribe, causing many orcs to be bitten by that mad orc, didn't you?"
"Yes, I agree with that."
“It’s good that you agree. The tribe has always prioritized safety. We can’t let those orcs stay in the tribe for another three months, because three months is too long. Nobody knows what might happen during that time.”
Shen Miao raised an eyebrow and said, "So, in the end, you still want to break your promise."
"No, we need to change the time from the original three months to one and a half months. This way, we can explain things to everyone. We can't let everyone live in constant fear." The old orc was very cunning.
Shen Miao curled the corners of her lips and said lazily, "A month and a half is fine, it's just a month and a half. Who told me to be so easy to talk to?"
The orcs then gave up. They were certain that Shen Miao couldn't develop an antidote in such a short time, so they weren't worried. After all, once the time was up, she would just have to wait to die.
Although Green Pearl was somewhat dissatisfied, she had no choice but to leave as everyone else was leaving.
Shen Miao closed the door, turned around, and saw Jiu Ying standing behind her, looking somewhat frightened.
"Why the long face? Come here and help me chop a leg of lamb." Shen Miao walked past him.
Jiuying hummed in agreement and followed behind in silence.
All morning, Jiu Ying looked preoccupied, which left Shen Miao speechless. She guessed he was starting to overthink things again.
I ignored him and waited for him to figure it out on his own.
Jiuying thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but he came up with a way to help Shen Miao.
He went to collect herbs himself, but he was not a veterinarian and did not recognize many herbs. In order to find a way to cure himself, he tasted them one by one.
Finally, he tasted the poison.
Jiuying felt a burning pain in her abdomen. She tried to hold on, but she couldn't anymore and returned home in a sorry state.
Seeing that his expression was off, Shen Miao asked him a question, but Jiu Ying gave a perfunctory answer. As a result, as evening approached, his abdominal pain began to escalate into vomiting blood.
When the children saw this, they reported it to Shen Miao. Shen Miao rushed over and found Jiu Ying leaning against the wall, vomiting blood.
Her mind went completely blank.
Is this another attack? But I didn't vomit blood last time.
"I'm fine." Jiuying gave Chen Miao a weak smile.
Shen Miao snapped out of her daze, walked over, and looked at Jiu Ying's face and tongue coating. They were jet black, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned. She then looked at the place where he was sleeping, where many unfamiliar wild grasses were scattered about.
She glanced at it casually and asked, "What is this?"
Jiuying refused to answer, vaguely saying it was wild vegetables. Shen Miao didn't ask any more questions, but said seriously, "You've been poisoned. I don't know how you got yourself into this state, but now you have to come with me to see a veterinarian."
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble again," Jiuying said with a wry smile.
Shen Miao ignored him and told him to follow her to Lin Shousheng's house immediately.
Lin Shousheng had gotten used to Shen Miao. He felt uncomfortable if Shen Miao didn't come at least once a day. When he saw her coming, he casually lifted his eyelids and said in a muffled voice, "What brings you here?"
"Uncle Lin, he seems to be poisoned. Can you take a look at him?" Shen Miao pushed Jiu Ying over.
Lin Shousheng looked up at Jiuying's face and laughed angrily: "It's so black now, if we don't hand it over, he might get poisoned. He's definitely poisoned. What did he eat?"
Jiuying found it difficult to speak.
"You're still avoiding medical treatment? If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to detoxify you?" Lin Shousheng's words were venomous.
Jiuying described the shape of the wild grass that had poisoned him in a muffled voice. Upon hearing this, Lin Shousheng immediately understood and asked in surprise, "Why would you go and eat poisonous grass if you had nothing better to do? It's a notorious poison that takes effect slowly but is extremely torturous. Judging from your appearance, you must have been tormented quite a bit."
Shen Miao didn't know what kind of wild grass Lin Shousheng was talking about, so she quickly said, "Uncle Lin, can you cure it? Please help him detoxify quickly."
She feared that if the poison entered his lungs and internal organs, Jiu Ying would be ruined.
Lin Shousheng had the antidote ready, so he gave it to Jiuying, and Jiuying's complexion improved a little.
Shen Miao thanked him, but Lin Shousheng sneered, "I'd be grateful if you didn't come here a few more times. You never have a moment's peace."
After leaving Lin Shousheng's house, Shen Miao asked Jiu Ying, "Why did you go to eat the blue grass?"
Indigo is the herb that caused the poisoning of the nine infants.
Jiuying pursed her lips and mumbled, "I ate it by accident."
Shen Miao pondered for a moment. Who would accidentally eat poisonous herbs? They're not children, and they're not starving. The credibility of Jiu Ying's words can be questioned.
Thinking that this situation might happen frequently in the future, Shen Miao felt that she needed to make things clear to him.
“Nine Infants,” Shen Miao stopped and looked at the other person seriously, “did you deliberately go to test the medicine and accidentally taste the blue herb?”
Jiuying panicked a little: "No, no, I didn't."
Seeing his expression, Shen Miao understood everything.
“You don’t need to do this, really. I don’t need you to test the drugs or do anything else. Just wait for the results. If this happens again, all the things I’ve done will be useless. Do you understand?” Her expression was extremely serious.
Jiuying was ashamed and at a loss: "I, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to help you."
"I know." Shen Miao softened her expression and patted Jiu Ying's shoulder reassuringly. "But remember, I'll come to you when I need help. If I don't, it means I don't need it, understand?"
Jiuying nodded hesitantly.
"Shen Miao, how could you do this in broad daylight? How can you do this to Brother Qingchen? Although I know Brother Qingchen is crippled and you look down on him, you are still Brother Qingchen's beastman." Green Pearl's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
