Chapter 649 True and False! (1)
"Wait." Yao Chi hurriedly stopped her, "Is there anything strange about this melon?"

"It's just a few melons, what's wrong?" Xiao Man frowned at Yao Chi, then sneered, "Are you thinking too much?"

Yao Chi looked at the green and whitish melons in the white porcelain basin, they were clean and unopened, so there should be nothing wrong with it, but just now the boat lady said that the people who come and go on the pier are coolies, No one would buy what the rich eat.But why would someone sell this on the pier today?
Xiao Man had always disliked Yao Chi, but now seeing her hesitating and having nothing to say, she turned around and entered the cabin.

"Ma'am, look quickly, this servant has bought melons." Xiao Man said as she walked to the bed and put the white porcelain basin on the small table in front of her.

Han Qian looked up and said with a smile, "Where did you get this big pot? It looks like feeding a pig and you lose your appetite. You won't let me hold one and chew?"

Xiao Man smiled and said: "That's it, just now Yao Chi outside said that this melon is strange, and the servant just asked the boat lady to wash it. Madam, can you see if there is anything wrong with this melon? If you can eat it, the servant will give it to you." Ma'am cut it."

Han Qian took a melon to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then smiled lightly and said, "That's right, it should be quite sweet."

"Then I cut it?" Xiao Man said, took out a small dagger from her sleeve waist, wiped it with a handkerchief, then turned her head and asked Yun Shuo with a smile, "Sir, do you want to try it too?"

Yun Shuo had never been interested in these melons, fruits, pears, and peaches. After listening to Xiao Man's words, he only looked up, and then continued to look down at the urgent play in his hand.

Xiao Man cut a melon into crescents and put it on a white disk. Han Qian reached out and took a piece into his mouth. Bite half of it with a 'click', and the sweet juice soaks between the lips and teeth.

"Delicious... um! Bah!" Han Qian ignored the pain in his leg, leaned over and spit the melon into the spittoon in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Man asked in surprise, "Isn't it delicious?"

"Toxic." Han Qian said, and spat a few times into the spittoon vigorously.

Yun Shuo got up in a panic, took out a Baixiaodan from his pocket and put it into Han Qian's mouth: "Eat it!"

Xiao Man watched Han Qian swallow the pill, then looked at the melon that Han Qian spit out in the spittoon, and took another piece of melon to his mouth to taste.

"It's really poisonous!" Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Han Qian frowned and said, "It's the poison extracted from the poison horse grass. After eating it, you won't die, but it will hurt your eyes. If it's mild, you can't see clearly. If it's serious, it will hurt your eyes." become blind."

"Damn it!" Xiao Man was so angry that she grabbed a melon and squeezed it to pieces.

Yun Shuo also picked up a melon to test it repeatedly, frowned and said, "How did the poison get in this melon?"

Han Qian got up, took the melon from Yunshuo's hand, looked directly at the melon stem, and said with a sneer, "It should be here."

"How are you sure?" Yun Shuo looked at the melon stem, although it had just been washed, it was clearly showing signs of drying up.

"If the melons are picked when the flowers are really ripe and the stems are falling, they will rot within a day or two. Therefore, the melon farmers usually pick the melons when they are half-ripe, so half of the melons will be half ripe. There are melon stalks cut off, but there are none of these melons. You can see that this is not a new stubble, and it is not picked off by the boatman when she just cleaned it."

"That's right. When I bought this melon, it didn't have a pedicle." Xiao Man nodded.

Han Qian sneered, "If you use a medical syringe to inhale the poison and inject it from here, let it sit for a day or two, and when the needle hole dries up, there will be no trace left."

Yun Shuo and Xiao Man suddenly realized, and Xiao Man gritted her teeth and cursed: "These thieves are really thoughtful! They can come up with such an idea!"

"How did you guess that?" Yun Shuo asked Han Qian.

Han Qian smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I used this method to inject sugar water into melons before. In this way, the unsweet melons taste very sweet, and no one else can find the trace. But I didn't expect someone to tell me The hearts are connected, and I also think of using this method to poison."

"Fortunately, my mother's sense of taste is different from ordinary people, so I can tell that this melon is poisonous immediately, otherwise...it would be unimaginable." Xiaoman hurriedly picked up the remaining melon and stood up, "No, I have to tell them, no one can eat it This melon!"

"It's not just melons!" Han Qian shouted hastily, "This time you can't eat anything you bought at the pier."

Xiao Man hastily turned her head and replied: "Yes, this servant knows."

Yun Shuo got up to close the door of the cabin, turned back and hugged Han Qian into his arms, and sighed in a low voice: "It seems that our whereabouts have been paid attention to by interested people. They followed us all the way, just looking for opportunities to start Woolen cloth."

"Yes! They know that I can taste the poison in the food and still use this method. It seems that they are really impatient!" Han Qian also felt scared at this time, if he didn't taste the melon, what would it be? It's not right, or Yun Shuo and the others ate something that they have never tasted before, so what will happen!Thinking of this, she couldn't help shivering again, grabbed Yun Shuo's hand and said anxiously: "From now on, no matter what you eat, give me a taste first, remember?"

Yun Shuo hurriedly comforted: "We just need to be more careful. You don't have to worry so much, Qianxun and the others are not idiots, and you can let them poison you again and again?"

"Anyway, it's right to be careful." Han Qian sighed and lay on Yun Shuo's lap, closing her eyes slowly.

At this moment, Han Qianman only thought of one person.

That person used to get along with her day and night, used to accompany her in the palace, and knew about the fact that she used a syringe to add sugar water to melons.But shouldn't she be dead by now?Didn't the Wuse Nunnery suffer from a fire, and all the people inside were burned to death?Is this method of poisoning melons with a syringe just a coincidence?
Is it a coincidence? !
Looking at the silent Han Qian, Yun Shuo thought she was frightened, so he raised his hand and rubbed her cheek, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything." Han Qian shook his head, and suddenly smiled, "I want to eat grilled fish, can you ask someone to catch some fish and let's grill them?"

Yun Shuo shook his head and said, "You have injuries, so you should eat less fish and shrimp. Otherwise, you will be the one who will suffer later."

"It's healed!" Han Qian raised his leg and said with a smile, "It's just a layer of skin abrasion. With Mrs. Yao's panacea, no matter how deep the injury is, it will heal within two days."

"You! You're just stubborn." Yun Shuo shook his head helplessly.

"I'm not stubborn, I'm greedy." Han Qian grabbed Yun Shuo's hand with a smile, put it in his mouth and bit it.

At this time of early summer, the fish in the river are very plump, and there are many people with high martial arts skills on board, so it is easy to catch a fish or something.Xiaoman asked Chuanniang to get a charcoal basin, and set up an iron grate on the charcoal basin, then split the washed fish into two pieces from the middle, and put them on the iron grate to roast.
