The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

It was already late at night when Yan Shu and Jiang Ci arrived at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. At this time, Liu Bin, Li Shoujing and others had already evacuated, and the village was extremely quiet.

The two came to a house and knocked on the door. For a moment, there was a rustling sound of dressing in the house. Then the door opened and a sound of footsteps came towards the courtyard door.

"Who is it in the middle of the night?"

The speaker was a man, his voice sounded a little weak.

Jiang Cidao: "My husband and I are passing by here and hope to stay at your home for one night. Don't worry, we will pay the money."

There was hesitation in the room, and there was no reply for a long time. After a while, an old woman's voice came again.

"Son, who is here?"

"Mom, I'm just passing by. I want to stay at our house for one night. My son thinks that the world outside is too chaotic and we are all sick. It's really not convenient to accommodate outsiders."

The old woman coughed and said weakly: "It's freezing outside, so let them come in and stay for one night, cough, cough, cough..."

"Okay, son, go and open the door right now."

The sound of footsteps came to the gate, and the old wooden door was slowly opened. He saw a pair of young men and women with outstanding looks. Their clothes did not look like the hungry refugees outside. The middle-aged man felt relieved.

"Where did you two come from? Why did you run to the foot of Yanshan Mountain?"

"We came from Gucheng and were going to Yicheng to visit relatives. We heard that there was a shortcut here that could reach Yicheng faster, so we planned to take the mountain road instead. However, it was too late and it was not safe on the mountain, so the couple had to go Come and spend the night in the village."

The man lowered his guard and invited the two of them with a smile.

"It's cold outside, please come in."

Jiang Ci took Yan Shu's hand and followed the man into the main room.

Yan Shu looked around curiously. There were few pieces of furniture in the house, and he could tell that the conditions of the house were very poor.

The man of the house brought a brazier and a pile of firewood, and lit some firewood in the basin for warmth.

"You guys come over and warm up by the fire, I'll go see my mother."

"Thank you."

There was another cough from the old woman in the next room, and the man also coughed from time to time.

The man picked up a bowl of water and brought it to the next door room. The old woman drank some water and her cough improved.

"I heard that the county master came to our Yanshan Village today. Can we find out what's going on with this disease?"

The man said: "I heard from the village chief that we are poisoned, but the cause of the poisoning has not been found yet, so we should pay more attention to what we eat."

The old woman sighed: "Every household here eats their own food, how could they all be poisoned? Is there something wrong with the water we drink?"

"This is not clear yet. We will not know until the officials investigate."

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu listened quietly to the conversation between mother and son.

Yan Shu became more and more curious. It was interesting that the whole village was collectively poisoned but could not find the cause of the poisoning.

At this time, the man walked out of the next room, and Yan Shu looked at his face. His face was blue and his lips were purple, which was indeed a symptom of poisoning.

"Brother, I see you have a poisoned look on your face."

The man looked at Yan Shu with surprise: "Madam, is she a doctor?"

Yan Shu nodded: "Let me take your pulse."

"Then I'll trouble you, madam." The young lady could tell at a glance that he was poisoned, so she must have some skills.

The man walked to the table and sat down. Yan Shu stretched out a white jade hand and placed it on his wrist, carefully diagnosed it, and glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him with some confusion.

"Let me take a look at your teeth."

The man opened his mouth cooperatively.

Yan Shu held up the oil lamp and took a closer look, already having the answer in his heart.

She took out a bottle of medicine from the cloth bag on her waist. Inside was the detoxification pill she had prepared. This was the one Jiang Ci took every day.

"It's poisoning. Fortunately, the poison has not yet entered the lungs. If you take this pill, the symptoms of poisoning will be relieved after an hour. This pill is for your mother."

The man looked down at the two small brown pills in his hand.

"Can this medicine really detoxify our bodies?"

The man was a little unbelievable. Several doctors sent by the government had looked at them, but none of them knew what kind of poison they were poisoned. This young lady just took their pulse and immediately took out the antidote?

Jiang Cidao: "Brother, my wife is good at curing all kinds of poisons. Diseases that other doctors can't cure are nothing to her."

When he said this, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

Yan Shu didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, Jiang Ci told the truth. He didn't dare to say anything else. She was definitely top-notch in medical skills.

The man smiled: "I don't doubt the little lady's medical skills, I'm just a little surprised. During the day, the government invited several doctors over but they couldn't find the cause of the poisoning. They said they would prescribe medicine tomorrow for us to drink for two days to try. Come on, six or seven people died today alone. It seems like they are just trying to be a living doctor."

After saying this, the man decisively took the pill Yan Shu gave him, then got up and went to the next room to deliver the medicine.

After the mother and son took the antidote, the man tidied up the room on the west side of the main room.

"You two can make do with each other here tonight. I live next door. If you need anything, just come and let me know."

Jiang Ci took out some broken silver from his waistband, estimated to be about two taels.

"Brother Chen, please help us boil a pot of hot water."

The man glanced at the scrap of silver handed over by Jiang Ci and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

"Your wife helped us mother and son detoxify. How can you spend money just to stay in a humble house for a night? Wait a moment, I will boil water."

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Jiang Ci thought of leaving it on the table when he left.

He closed the door smoothly, walked to the table and sat down.

"What kind of poison is in them?"

Yan Shu said: "It's copper sulfate. His teeth and tongue coating are all blue. It's obviously caused by heavy metal poisoning."

Copper sulfate?

He had never heard the word.

Yan Shu explained: "Copper sulfate is a heavy metal, and some ores also contain this substance. For example, blue vitriol is natural water-containing copper sulfate. Blue vitriol melts when it comes into contact with water. The collective poisoning problem of the entire village must still be caused by water, and copper Minerals and gold mines also contain copper sulfate, so blue vitriol often appears in the ore belt."

Speaking of this, Yan Shu's eyes flashed, and she held Jiang Ci's hand excitedly: "I suspect there is ore on the mountain."

Whether it is copper or gold mines, they are strictly controlled by the government.

The people near Yanshan don't seem to know that there are minerals on the mountain. In other words, the ores in this area have not been discovered by the government, and they are ownerless.

Jiang Ci's eyelids trembled slightly, and he was quite shocked.

Originally, I wanted to find out whether the poisoning of the villagers in Yanshan was related to Rong Di's spies, but unexpectedly I accidentally discovered that there was ore in Yanshan.

"We'll go up the mountain to have a look later."

"Okay." Yan Shu was smiling and his eyes were shining.
