Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 176 Poisoning
"..."

Fang Yao suddenly found that, except for the woman sitting on the snow moaning, everyone else was staring at her with strange expressions.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she pointed to the person on the ground, "Is your leg okay?"

Only then did the others realize that the face of their fallen companion seemed a little unusually pale.

"Sister-in-law Liu, what's the matter with you?"

"It hurts... it hurts..."

Aunt Liu's lips trembled, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Fang Yao felt that something was wrong, so she quickly squatted down and helped her gently roll up the trousers on her calves, while telling others without raising her head, "Bring the lantern closer."

The woman with the lantern hastened to do so.

Under the dim yellow light, Mrs. Liu's ankles had obvious scratches, which should be caused by the thick trouser legs being brought up when she fell, and the skin directly contacted the cave.

It's just that the place where the blood was bleeding was stained with a little sand and gravel, and the blood stain was slightly black.

Fang Yao took out a beige soft cotton sweat towel from her pocket, and gently wiped off the gravel for her.

A drop of darkened blood dripped from the wound.

"Hey, why is this blood black? Could it be that there is a snake hole under here? Sister-in-law Liu, you were bitten by a poisonous snake?!"

The woman at the side screamed, and almost fainted from the fright of Sister Liu, who was already pale with pain.

Fang Yao frowned and said, "Don't scare her, the wound without fangs, how could it be bitten by a snake."

The screaming woman shut her mouth embarrassingly.

Sister-in-law Liu felt the pain became more and more unbearable, and cried: "It's over, it's over, I must have been poisoned, I'm afraid I won't survive..."

Their movement here attracted people around, and everyone gathered around, even Huang Zhixian, who couldn't be invited along the way, also came, and Sanniang was still by her side.

Huang Zhixian glanced at the hole, frowned, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Before Fang Yao could speak, the women who were traveling with her chattered about what happened just now.

When everyone heard that there was a poisonous pothole in the ground, their expressions were filled with surprise.

Several yamen servants came over and said in a low voice: "The two horses in front of us were also injured when they stepped on the hole..."

"This... this is simply absurd!"

Huang Zhixian left a word with an ugly expression, and left in a hurry. Sanniang stamped her feet behind and hurriedly followed.

Fang Yao was a little puzzled.

There is poison in the pothole... It sounds really outrageous, but as a county magistrate, he doesn't even care about people, so he just walks away like this?
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu cried even more miserably. The small scratch on her leg actually became more serious, and the surrounding skin began to slowly turn black and rot.

Fang Yao immediately remembered Fan Chen's hand, and the next second, a familiar clear voice rang in her ears.

"Get out of the way, let me take a look."

Fan Chen has already squatted beside her.

Fang Yao moved to the side while secretly looking at his injured palm in the morning.

Some medicine was applied on it, so I couldn't see the inside clearly, but it was fine.

Fan Chen said "offended" to Mrs. Liu, took out a dagger, sprinkled some medicinal powder on it, and slowly picked out the black carrion on the latter's legs.

Sister-in-law Liu didn't move, she sat stiffly on the snow.

Fang Yao was still secretly admiring the woman's strong endurance, but Fan Chen suddenly said to her: "Go and hold her shoulder."

"Ah, oh..."

Fang Yao did not know why, and Fan Chen asked several other people to hold Sister-in-law Liu's arm and the other leg.

Everyone was also a little confused.

Fang Yao found that the rotten marks on Liu's sister-in-law's legs were still slowly spreading.

She suddenly understood what Fan Chen meant, and pressed Sister-in-law Liu's arms, tightening instantly.

I saw that after Fan Chen cleaned up the black rotten flesh, he suddenly moved and dug up the nearby flesh that was still intact!

"Ah, ah-"

Sister-in-law Liu suddenly struggled violently, and let out a miserable scream.

All the onlookers were startled, and the few people who held down Sister-in-law Liu were also startled, and then hurriedly held down Sister-in-law Liu who was struggling frantically.

Fang Yao's strength is already great, but Liu's sister-in-law, who is in extreme pain, also has strength that cannot be underestimated. She wants to bounce like crazy.

Fortunately, Fan Chen struck quickly and ruthlessly, and with just one stroke, all the carrion was removed.

The surrounding skin and flesh did not continue to rot and spread, but a pit of flesh with bones exposed and trickling blood was left behind.

"Take medicine to stop the bleeding."

As Fan Chen said, he was about to hug Sister-in-law Liu, but suddenly stopped, and said to Yang Gao, "You carry her into the carriage."

"okay."

Fang Yao hurriedly followed in, took out the hemostatic medicine she carried with her, sprinkled a thick layer for Sister Liu, and wrapped her ankle with a bandage.

There was still bright red blood soaking out, but fortunately not much, the blood finally stopped slowly.

Fang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a sudden noise outside.

"You lose money for me! Hurry up and lose money!"

Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the car was roughly lifted.

A gray-haired old woman half-climbed to the front of the carriage, grabbed Fan Chen's sleeve who was two heads taller than her, pointed at Sister-in-law Liu who was half lying in the carriage, and screamed.

"I'm such a good daughter-in-law, but you injured me with a knife and became disabled! Not only can I not count on her to provide for the elderly for the rest of my life, but I have to serve her instead! Quickly, you boy, pay my old lady!"

Fan Chen pulled back his sleeve impatiently, took out a piece of silver, saw that the old woman's cloudy eyes lit up, and was about to reach out to take it.

"Don't give it!"

As Fang Yao said, he stretched out his arm, and Fan Chen lightly tossed the silver, and the silver landed firmly in the former's hands.

"You give me back—"

The old woman was so angry that she wanted to climb into the carriage, but this time Fan Chen grabbed her by the collar unceremoniously and carried her out.

Fang Yao stuffed the money into her purse, and said indifferently: "Just now when your daughter-in-law was crying and crying about being poisoned, I saw you standing aside with my own eyes. At that time, you didn't say a word. , Why did my son suddenly appear again?"

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the playful old woman on the ground, "But you came just in time, we saved your daughter-in-law, and we also used the best hemostatic medicine in the capital, I don't want more from you, just two taels of silver. "

The old woman obviously didn't expect that Fang Yao would join her in the army, so she asked the onlookers to point at her and whisper.

Sister-in-law Liu's already pale face in the carriage became even more ugly, and she couldn't help shouting in a trembling voice: "Mother..."

The old woman hurriedly looked behind the crowd, Fang Yao followed her gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly.

It turned out to be San Niang.

Sanniang noticed that Fang Yao had found her, she lowered her head and left in a hurry.

The old woman froze for a moment, then howled loudly again.

"It's just a small scratch, but it caused someone to forcefully dig out a piece of flesh, my silly daughter-in-law..."

"You officials and family members actually bullied my old woman... leaving behind a lame daughter-in-law, how will we live as orphans and widows..."

But just as she was crying and wiping away her tears, a horse neighing suddenly came from ahead.

Several yamen servants yelled in horror.

"what--"

"Quick, get out of the way! The horse is crazy!"
