Chapter 370 Will Make People Sick
Miao Jiu could feel that Juanjuan had something to say, so he picked her up and prepared to move away before talking.
He also looked at Old Man Miao and said, "Don't put the things in your hand on the child."
After saying that, without waiting for Old Man Miao to say anything, he picked up Juanjuan and left the crowd.
Madam Si and Si Ning also noticed something different about Juanjuan. This child would not reject Old Man Mu's kindness unless something happened.
"Dad, please sit for a while." Si Ning asked him to sit on the sofa first.
When the other people playing cards saw him coming, they all came over to say hello, but none of them showed any intention of staying to chat.
Miao Jiu held Juanjuan and found an empty room. "Juanjuan, is there something wrong with that old man's things?"
"Uncle, the stuff in the box is not good. It will make my brother sick. Grandpa also has such stuff in his body." Juanjuan saw him answer honestly.
"Will it make people sick?" Miao Jiu's eyes darkened.
"Yeah." Juanjuan nodded vigorously.
Miao Jiu smiled and touched her head: "Then we won't let our brothers wear it."
After he finished speaking, he took Juanjuan out of the room and walked in front of Old Man Miao: "Come in with me."
"What to do?" Old man Miao frowned.
"Just come when I told you to. Why are you talking so much?" Miao Jiu turned around and left. On the way, he asked his servants to go and find Weng Jin and Doctor Huai.
Old Man Miao stood up with the help of his cane, nodded to Old Madam Si, and followed Miao Jiu.
After entering the room, Old Man Miao looked at Miao Jiu and said, "I know you hate me. I came here today just to give the child a gift, not to make you unhappy."
"You also know that you came here to cause trouble for me, so why did you come?" Miao Jiu looked at the man in front of him with some gray hair on his temples.
Old man Miao looked at his son in front of him without saying anything else. He always owed them both mother and son.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Miao Jiu looked at old man Miao and spoke directly.
Doctor Huai and Weng Jin came in and saw the two men: "Master Jiu, Master Miao."
"Show them the box you brought." Miao Jiu looked at Old Man Miao and spoke directly.
"What do you mean?" Old man Miao frowned.
"Just give it to me when I ask you to. How do I know if you will tamper with these things?" Miao Jiu spoke rudely.
"Okay, okay." Old Man Miao threw the things to the two of them.
Doctor Huai hurriedly took the three boxes thrown to him and looked at Miao Jiu with confusion.
How come they were dragged into this fight between father and son?
"Doctor Huai, Doctor Weng, please check the contents of this box carefully. I'm afraid my son is weak and might get harmed." Miao Jiu spoke very rudely.
"You..." Old man Miao was so angry that he sat down on the sofa beside him, his breathing becoming rapid.
Doctor Huai and Weng Jin sighed inwardly, but still picked up the box and began to check it inside and out.
When the two took the box, they smelled a faint fragrance, which did not smell like wood.
"Doctor Weng, do you smell anything?" Doctor Huai looked at Weng Jin uncertainly.
"I smell it. It's a bit like a light white tea scent, but not very obvious. It might have been because Master Miao was holding it in his arms before, and the temperature made the scent more intense, otherwise it would be hard to detect."
Weng Jin frowned slightly as he looked at the box in his hand.
The scent of white tea is not strange, but it doesn't smell that pleasant.
Doctor Huai turned to look at Master Miao and asked, "Master Miao, do you use white tea to make spices?"
"I never use spices." Mr. Miao answered with certainty.
"Is there any problem?" Miao Jiu looked at the two of them.
"But this smell seems familiar. Let me take another look." Doctor Huai was not sure and wanted to check again.
Weng Jin took out two pairs of gloves from somewhere and handed one to Doctor Huai.
Doctor Huai took it and put it on before opening the box.
After the box was opened, the aroma of white tea became stronger. Inside were three identical gold locks, with the names of the three children written on one side and "Long Live a Hundred Years" written on the other.
There are three small bells hanging under the golden lock, and you can hear a sound when you move it slightly.
Weng Jin picked up a golden lock and brought it close to his nose to smell it. The smell was even stronger. "Strange, why is the white tea fragrance on this longevity lock even stronger?"
Doctor Huai found some things, put the golden lock into a cup of clean water, and then he took the silver needle and put it into the water.
After a while, the silver needle underwent some changes. It was no longer pure black, but it also lost its previous luster.
"Doctor Huai, what's this?" Weng Jin also noticed something different.
"What's going on?" Miao Jiu looked at the silver needle and then looked at old man Miao.
Old man Miao frowned, and he also saw the changes on the silver needle.
He did not doubt Doctor Huai, but was just wondering what was going on with this golden lock.
He watched the whole process of what Doctor Huai had just done. Besides, he was a famous doctor in Beiyang City, so he would not do anything to frame him.
"What's this?"
Doctor Huai looked at the silver needle and did not answer their questions immediately, but began to think.
He was very familiar with the scent of white tea. What was it?
No one disturbed him.
Weng Jin is a Western doctor, and if he wants to check for poison, many steps are required.
And he is not good at poison, so he can't help in this matter.
"Breath of Withering." Doctor Huai suddenly said a few words, then looked at the few people: "This is the Breath of Withering."
"What is the Breath of Withering?" Weng Jin was a little confused.
"The Breath of Decay is a slow-acting poison. It smells like white tea, not pungent and easily overlooked. Wearing it for a long time will weaken even the best of health."
"What did you say? Did you see it right?" Old Man Miao exclaimed.
"Master Miao, I'm not wrong. I saw this kind of chronic poison once when I was young and I was on a medical visit with my father."
"Although it's been a while, I still remember it clearly. When it gets warm, its fragrance becomes stronger than usual. If you put it in water and check it with a silver needle, the needle won't turn completely black, it will just lose its luster."
"So it's hard to tell if it's poison or not. This is its best way of hiding it."
"If the three young masters were to wear the golden lock, their bodies would become increasingly weak and they might die before a hundred days."
Doctor Huai told everything he knew and then stopped talking.
"Old man, you really want me to have no descendants!" Miao Jiu looked at old man Miao with a sneer.
"I don't have it." Old Man Miao wanted to argue, but this thing was delivered by him personally.
"If I hadn't been more careful, I would have seen you preparing to come for the banquet after a few days." Miao Jiu clenched his fingers into a fist.
Old Man Miao wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how.
