Chapter 217

October, Frost's Descent.

The first batch of antidote was officially distributed, which solved the urgent need.

Lin Lang made the prescription public without hesitation, and re-washed the rice with water soaked in powder to expose it to the sun.

But in just one day, those patients had already stopped festering.

County magistrate Liu was so excited that he almost wanted to give her a bear hug, but in the end he flinched.

"How are you doing today?"

Lin Lang brought some yam cakes and jujube cakes and came to visit Xiangniang.

Her body no longer oozes pus like before, and blood scabs gradually formed in many places.But just like this, the bruises underneath can be seen more clearly.

The antidote only detoxifies, but does not cure other injuries.

"These injuries are."

Seeing her staring at her, Xiangniang tugged her sleeves uncomfortably, "It's much better, Miss Luo Linlang remembers, those medicines are very effective. These injuries are a thing of the past. It's like this in our business."

Lin Lang was silent for a while.

The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds, and some guests are indeed weird.

"I'll bring a bottle of plaster for the girl later." This was the only thing she could do to help.

When I came here on weekdays, I only paid attention to the patients, so I didn't look at the room carefully.

Linlang just noticed that box of neatly arranged books today. It was clean and brand new, and it seemed that the owner took good care of it on weekdays.

"The girl has studied?"

"Well, my father is a teacher." Mentioning this, Xiangniang's eyes brightened.

Seeing that Lin Lang was obviously astonished and surprised, she smiled wryly and shook her head, "Don't you think it's strange? How could such a scholar's daughter end up in Hualou?"

Lin Lang looked at that tired face, her throat was inexplicably congested.

"At that time my mother was seriously ill. My father was a wife, and the money was only enough to make ends meet on weekdays, so he borrowed a lot of money. It's a pity that my mother still couldn't be saved." She closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to recall That painful picture.

"Later, the debt collector came to the door and asked me to be his concubine. My father refused to agree, and was forced to die in a fit of rage. Repayment of debts is justified, and even the yamen can't intervene."

"And no one dared to take me in. They were all afraid of the debt. How could a weak woman have the ability to pay it off? In the end, only Sanniang reached out to me, allowing me to choose to go to the Hualou to earn money to pay off the debt."

Lin Lang was silent again.

Then he suddenly said, "That person is Mr. Wu, right?"

"The girl is a smart person." Xiang Niang did not deny, but nodded, "On the day I pay off the debt, I will kill him."

"No, not you."

The girl raised her eyelids, her voice was very weak.

Xiang Niang, who just admitted that her tone was calm, finally showed a bit of anxiety at this moment.

"It's me. Ever since I found out that he was intentionally setting my father up for misconduct, I hated him! So I would rather go to the Hualou to get a bad name than get rid of him and be his concubine! I just didn't expect... "

She was trembling all over, and bit her lower lip to bleed, "This beast directly tore up the bottom line of my performance without selling myself, and even broke one of my legs! He caused my family to be ruined and reduced to prostitution, and it would be cheap to poison me directly." !"

"The poison must have something to do with Sanniang." Lin Lang lowered her voice.

But just this one sentence made Xiangniang tremble even more, and her pupils constricted.

She wanted to go forward and grab the corner of Lin Lang's clothes, but remembering her current appearance, she could only tremble and plead.

"Please, please girl... I beg you! That arsenic... was just Sanniang's confusion for a while, she was confused for me..."
