The old man was holding a cane, still looking calm and calm.
When the word "snake fetus" is mentioned, there is no ups and downs.
Who told him about the snake fetus?
Is it Nian Dafu? Or is it the old gentleman in front of me?
If it is really proven that I am pregnant with a snake, what will they do to me?
Thinking of this, my heart shrank.
However, he quickly forced himself to calm down.
It seems that any war of words is not as convincing as actual actions.
Glancing at the old gentleman, I raised the jar and poured all the spicy liquid inside into my mouth.
Ignoring the splashing on my collar, I drank down to the last drop.
This move made the old gentleman's gray eyebrows frown instantly.
The old man's expression finally changed.
"All...drank it?" the old man said tentatively.
"Not a single bit left!" When I said this, I raised my eyebrows. "Old man, were those flowers in the young master's yard planted under your instruction?"
"Of course!" The old man nodded, "I participated in the design of the entire building!"
"Sulfur is poured into the walls and floors, and various flowers are planted in the garden! These all have the same effect, which is to drive away snakes, insects, rats, and ants! The family has been making medicine for generations, and the old man is one of the leaders. Naturally, he knows that realgar wine can best drive away snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
snake."
"Yes!" There was a slight curve in the corner of the old man's mouth.
It seems that this flattery is right.
"Since the old man asked me to be the young master's caretaker, he has naturally investigated my background. If you just ask around, you will know that I have been taking realgar wine since I was a child! The alcohol enters the stomach and the medicinal properties enter the blood! Don't say that it is a rumor that I am pregnant with a snake fetus.
Even if it is true, how can any snake dare to risk his life to get close to me?"
"in this way?"
After a long silence, the old man spoke in a low voice.
No, he still doesn't fully believe me!
It seems that I have to blow myself up.
"I was able to escape from the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, probably because of this reason!" After thinking about it, I said calmly.
"Old man, she is right!" Suddenly, the old man who had been hanging his head spoke. "It has been recorded in medical books that people who take medicine since childhood will carry the medicinal properties when they grow up. As for the snake fetus, it is just a rumor in the countryside! You
You should know that the countryside is very superstitious."
What the old gentleman said was clearly biased towards me.
So the person who revealed the snake fetus was 90% not him.
Nian Dafu! You are so cruel!
"Even though you have been taking realgar wine since you were a child, which resulted in the presence of realgar in your body, you were covered in bruises when you came out of the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes! It can be seen that you were bitten by a poisonous snake! Realgar only repels snakes, but does not detoxify! I asked the doctor to take blood tests after you came out.
Yes, there is no sign of poisoning on your body!"
It turned out that the doctors that day wanted to check whether I was poisoned. I suddenly understood why the old man was smiling at that time.
After the brief interruption, the brain quickly returned to normal operation.
"Have those who are talking to the old man never mentioned the Wannian Ganoderma lucidum?"
I pretended to be cautious and spoke tentatively.
And this sentence successfully aroused the old man's interest.
"Wannian...Ganoderma lucidum?" The old man narrowed his eyes.
"The reason why I am not afraid of snake venom is because of a ten-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! Back then, my father used the Ganoderma lucidum that he snatched from the snake king to cook soup and give it to my mother who was pregnant with me. It unexpectedly cured my mother's terminal liver disease! This thing
The old gentleman can testify!"
The old gentleman's body suddenly shook.
Perhaps, he had been thinking that it was none of his business and was keeping his head above water.
However, I was suddenly dragged into the quagmire.
If I don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape.
"Yes!" The old gentleman thought for a moment and nodded heavily. "I personally found out about her mother's liver disease! She didn't live well for a few days, but she actually lived for several more years after giving birth to her child! At that time, I
I think this Ganoderma lucidum is a good thing!”
"Isn't it a good thing to be favored by the Snake King?" I chuckled, "Besides, the old gentleman only knows one but not the other!"
"Why?" The old gentleman looked at me hurriedly.
"My father only gave my mother a small piece of Ganoderma lucidum!"
"What?" The old gentleman was shocked, "Then if you eat them all, your mother might not die! This Ganoderma lucidum...can bring the dead back to life?!"
Seeing a flash of light in the old man's eyes, I thought I was about to succeed.
Nian Dafu, I'm sorry.
Since you can be ruthless to me, then don't blame me for being unjust.
"Old man, do you know that snakes are wrapped around your waist?"
"Snake wrapped around the waist?" The old man nodded, "That is a stubborn disease that cannot be cured! Once it attacks, the internal organs will rot. This person will also die! It only takes more than half a month from attack to death."
"My father has a snake around his waist, and it was the old gentleman who diagnosed him!"
I stretched out my hand and pointed at the old gentleman, whose face became more solemn.
The old man said nothing, but stared at the old gentleman.
The hand holding the crutch suddenly tightened.
The old gentleman sighed heavily and took a step forward.
"Originally, patients' privacy cannot be disclosed. This is the professional ethics of doctors! But it is related to a girl's reputation, and I have to say it!"
Having said this, the old gentleman raised his head and met the old man's sharp gaze.
"Nian Dafu got snake-wrapped after disturbing the Snake King. It was so serious that his internal organs began to rot! As a doctor, I had no way to save him! But just after that, he suddenly got better! Now that I think about it, it turned out that he had eaten Ganoderma lucidum! After all,
A small piece can help a terminally ill person live several years longer!"
The old man grasped the crutch with his hand and kept tightening it and relaxing it.
It can be seen that he is very excited or nervous.
The originally cloudy eyes also flashed with a glimmer of light.
"Old man, you can think about it all night whether I am pregnant with a snake's fetus! The concentration of realgar in the wine I just drank is at least 80%. Most people may not be able to stand it, let alone the so-called
Snake fetus! As long as I have a good night, I can prove that it is not a snake fetus! And whether what I said is false, you can verify it now! After all, my father is here! The Ganoderma lucidum he secretly hid may be able to solve hundreds of problems.
Poisonous!"
I deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of these three words "jiebaidu".
Because I know that what the old man cares about most is Chao Mu Nian, and what he can’t let go of the most is the poison in Chao Mu Nian.
In order to sacrifice a young girl to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave in the old age, even more unethical things can be done.
The old man's attention will be on Nian Dafu, which will distract him from his vigilance towards me.
"housekeeper!"
The old man was silent for a long time and then groaned.
Not long after, the housekeeper walked in hastily.
"Old man, what are your orders?"
"Ask Dr. An and his medical team to come over immediately!"
"Yes!" The butler nodded respectfully.
"By the way, take Xiaonian into the solitary room and don't let anyone get close there!" Suddenly, the old man looked at me.
"OK!"
The butler bowed slightly and walked up to me.
"Xiao Nian, come with me!"
I calmly raised my chin and followed the butler away.
