Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 235

Fennel looked back at Xiao Laiwang who was lying on the ground in the outer room. After all, her husband had already drank a bowl. Compared with these people, the danger was definitely much less. Go save Xiao Laiwang.

So she went to the platycodon root and picked up another bowl of medicine, and helped the person closest to her to fill the medicine.

Laiwangniang, Grandma Qiao and others in the front yard knew from the mouth of the water collector that something had happened. Laiwangniang ran home in a hurry. Grandma Qiao came to see, and Qiao Mandun, Qiao Mantang and others also came over with a whimper.

When Wangniang came to the first room, she cried in fright when she saw her son, and she refused to call her in the room.

It wasn't until Grandma Qiao came in with Shan Xing, Qiao Mandun, Qiao Mantang, and others that they realized that the other side of the house was still saving people, and that the young and old people, together with Platycodon grandiflora and Fennel, were giving medicine to others.

At this time, the hired people from the Lu family also arrived. Lu Ruo and his uncle Mr. Lu also came to help when they heard about the accident. Suddenly Wangniang's house was crowded with people. People's family members rushed over when they heard about it, and squeezed into the house, crying and howling.

Lai Wangniang and Qiao Mantun's house belonged to the east and west courtyards, and when something happened here, Mrs. Fang from the west courtyard immediately knew about it. She stood at the door of the outer room, pushed open a crack in the door and looked this way. It seems that the dead girls of Qiao's family have given no medicine to others, so what should I do?Can we still proceed as originally negotiated?Will you expose yourself?

Frightened, she retreated into the room again, fidgeting and thinking of countermeasures.

Came to Wangniang's room, after a period of panic, Kikyo finally regained her senses, and asked Shan Xing loudly, "Second Sister, how is our house? Has anyone drank poisonous water?"

Shan Xing shook her head and said, "No, no one in our family has been poisoned."

One of the women who helped fennel cook the food replied: "After Laiwang fetched water, only the pot he took away was new water, and the water that others drank was from before. That water seems to be good! But I We use new water for cooking and washing vegetables!"

Kikyo hurriedly said: "Aunts who help cook, go home and wash your hands well, soak for a while, and don't touch food until you are sure it is safe!"

These few were so frightened that they hurried home to wash their hands.

Mr. Lu saw that Qiao's family was out of control, so he asked Lu Ruo to find a horse and go back to the town. He went to Qiao's drugstore to pick up Fang Qiao, the doctor, and asked him to see if these people were still alive.

When Fang Qiao came, the people who were poisoned with platycodon were still taking medicine, those who could drink it drank it, and those who couldn't drink it vomited and were still taking medicine.

She stopped when Fang Qiao took over to seek treatment, and suddenly thought that she must trace the source of the poison as soon as possible, otherwise the clues would be blurred after a long time, so she took the mountain apricot, Zanthoxylum bungeanum and a few villagers back home.

Several people first caught a few chickens in the chicken coop, and then used non-toxic utensils to test the water in the well and the vat respectively. As a result, the chickens that were poured with well water were fine, but the chickens that were poured with water in the vat died.

Huajiao said, "Third Sister, someone must have poisoned our water tank!"

Some people in the village did not turn their heads and shouted: "They said that after Xiao Laiwang fetched water, there was poison in the water. I think it must be Xiao Laiwang who injected the poison!"

Kikyo immediately retorted: "Impossible! My eldest brother-in-law was also poisoned. If he poisoned him, would he drink the poisoned water himself?"

Xiao Laiwang was severely poisoned, and he is still not out of danger. This is enough to prove everything. That man fell silent after being told by Kikyo.

Kikyo picked up the poisoned chicken and looked at it. While watching, she wondered who among the people who had access to the water tank had such a big hatred against her family that she would do such a cruel thing. Thinking of a clue, someone came over from Wangniang's yard, pointed at her and cursed: "Qiao Jijiao, you are a murderer! If Erli of my family dies, I will not let you go as a ghost!" !"

Kikyo looked up, and it was the mother of Zheng Erli, one of the people who had just been poisoned, who came.This person is usually a pretty good person, but today he looks like he is crazy, his eyes are bloodshot, his teeth are bared, his face is extremely hideous, as if he wants to eat bellflower.

Kikyo was squatting on the ground with a dead chicken in his hand, speechless for her accusation, she came here for her own family affairs, and was poisoned by drinking her own water, now that her son's life or death is uncertain, shouldn't she scold herself ?

Here, Zheng Erli's mother hadn't left yet, and several people rushed over one after another, as if they were going to tear her alive, and someone cried, "Qiao Jijiao, it's you, it's you who wanted to kill my son..."

Someone else shouted: "Qiao Jijiao, what are you doing to harm my man? What grudge does my family have against you! Now that you are blessed by the gods, you will stop taking other people's lives as human lives..."

These people were very emotional, cursing and wanting to come over and do something. Fortunately, the few villagers who came back to test the water with the platycodon still kept their sense and pulled them away.

Seeing the excited crowd, Kikyo was buzzing in his head, threw the chicken in his hand on the ground, stood up slowly, and said to the crying family of the deceased: "Folks, I am also very sad that this happened. Please believe that no matter what happens, I, Qiao Kikyo, will be responsible!"

"Responsible? What are you responsible for?! My family is human life! If my son dies, if you are responsible, will my son's life come back!" Zheng Erli's mother yelled hysterically.

Kikyo said: "If someone is killed, I'm sure I won't be able to bring the dead back to life, but I promise to catch the murderer and send him to the government, so that he can die with his life!"

"The murderer? I think the murderer is you! It's you who wanted to kill my son!"

Kikyo said: "I know everyone is worried about their family members, but please think about it carefully, what reason do I, Joe Kikyo, have to harm them? Doing this kind of thing on the day when my second sister was hired, and it was earth-shattering, I must be stupid! Well, I also really want to know who did it, so let's report directly to the official. Nothing is moving, let the government come and investigate!"

Although she said so, the family members of the poisoned people still didn't want to believe her easily, and shouted: "Report to the official? It sounds good, the government belongs to your family! It makes no difference whether you report to the official or not, you are just fooling us! "

Jijiao finally got angry and shouted: "If something happens, you can't report it to the officials. What do you want? Is it possible that you will be satisfied if you just kill me?! Everyone in the village knows what I am, Qiao Jijiao. Will it harm your family? I don’t believe you don’t know! No matter how capable I am, I will only bribe the officials of the county government. If you don’t believe the county government, we will go to the government office of the state government. If not, we will go directly to the emperor. Sue the imperial court! I don’t think I have the ability to bribe the emperor!”

These people finally stopped talking.

Jigeng turned to Huajiao and said, "Go, find brother Sanxi, and go to the county government with you to report to the officials, tell them to come quickly, I will guard here!"

"Okay!" Huajiao agreed, turned to look for Li Sanxi, and the two rode to the county government together.
