Yao Yao tightened her grip on the porcelain bottle. She had always been open to the truth and had never done anything sinister like poisoning. What if her hands were shaking and she got poisoned.
Poison, poison doesn't recognize people.
She pursed her dry lips and said with difficulty: "Sir, is this bottle filled with water or powder?"
"It's water. It will seep in quickly if it gets on it. Even if it is washed and soaked, it cannot be removed." Han Changmu looked at Yao Yao with a good look and said calmly.
Yao Yao felt a chill in her heart and felt her throat was a little dry. She swallowed hard and continued to ask with difficulty: "Then what kind of poison is this?"
Han Changmu tapped the small table with his fingers and raised the corners of his lips teasingly: "This medicine is the secret medicine of the Department of Internal Health. I won't tell you the name. Although this medicine will not kill you if you get it, it will slowly cause damage to the human body." With weakness and many diseases, men gradually lose their masculine energy, while women gradually lose their feminine beauty.”
Yao Yao frowned. She understood every word of these words, but what did they mean when they were connected together.
What does it mean for men to lose their masculinity, and what does it mean for women to lose their feminine beauty?
Isn't this the sex-changing drug commonly used by transvestites in a certain country in the past life?
When the Department of Internal Health took action, it was really extraordinary, even with such a destructive medicine.
She swallowed again, and a chill shot up from the soles of her feet. If it got on her feet, she wouldn't be able to grow a beard.
Han Changmu saw the frightened expression on Yao Yao's face, and couldn't help but feel a little wickedly happy. It turned out that she was not afraid of nothing, at least she was afraid of death, and oh, yes, she was also afraid of having her salary deducted.
He suddenly laughed, and the smiling Yao Yao glared at him with annoyance, and then said calmly with a serious face: "What are you afraid of? This poison will not be effective in a day or two. Even if you accidentally get a little bit of it when you poison it, It’s okay.”
Yao Yao snorted, pursed his lips tightly, did not speak, and just nodded calmly and indifferently.
Li Yushan's room looked like it had been robbed. Everything was dug out, valuable items were placed on the desk and dining table, and worthless items were thrown on the floor.
When Han Changmu and his two men entered, it was like this scene of fleeing.
Han Changmu bypassed the things on the floor and went straight to Hu's bed to take the pulse of the escort.
Yao Yao squatted on the ground, not reaching out to move anything rashly, but looking at it seriously.
After taking his pulse, Han Changmu turned to look at Yao Yao and nodded secretly. Although he had eaten a little too much, he was indeed stable enough when it came to serious matters.
He thought for a while and said to Li Yushan: "Head Li, I think we should start acupuncture today. This will help the patient recover faster."
Li Yushan took Han Changmu's medicine. He didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or whether the medicine was really effective. He actually felt much better. Although he still had no strength, at least he didn't feel so painful anymore.
He was even more convinced of Han Changmu, and without thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will follow Mr. Han's advice."
Han Changmu said: "Okay, Mr. Li will take a rest first. After lunch, I will perform the acupuncture."
Li Yushan was indeed tired. He closed his eyes slightly and his breathing gradually became calmer, as if he had really fallen asleep.
Yao Yao never made a move rashly, but just looked at it silently, and suddenly asked: "Master, there are too many things. If we separate them, which ones have been used for ten years and which ones have only been used in recent years, will you?" It’s easier to find.”
Before Han Changmu could speak, Li Yushan suddenly opened his eyes and said slowly: "I am a martial arts practitioner. I don't have many personal belongings, and even fewer that can last ten years." He pointed at a few items. Said: "Only these are the ones that have been used for more than ten years."
Yao Yao followed Li Yushan's instructions, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and picked out a few things.
A dark dagger, exquisitely carved and unedged.
An old pouch, the color is dark, the stitching is loose, and the embroidery has some skipped threads.
But the embroidery, Yao Yao's eyes fell on it and then moved away, it was just an ordinary embroidery method.
A yellowish jade ring. The quality of the jade is not high quality and its luster is dull.
People who practice martial arts and escorts spend a lot of money on clothes, shoes and hats, and they don't carry any burdens with them. Even their buns are only tightly tied with ribbons, and they rarely use hair crowns or hairpins.
It is extremely difficult to keep these old objects.
Yao Yao first removed the pouch, then picked up the jade ring finger, shined it in the light, and finally pulled out the dagger. The blade without an edge was also very sharp.
None of these things were suitable for poisoning. She shook her head.
"None of them." Han Changmu's eyes narrowed, and he could naturally see that although these things were old, they were not personal belongings to Li Yushan.
Yao Yao nodded and said worriedly: "Boss Li, there are none of these."
Li Yushan was also worried. He looked at the messy pile on the ground and frowned: "None, none. Then, I don't have any old objects here."
Yao Yao lowered his head and looked at the past one by one, his eyes falling on an inconspicuous comb.
They are from ox horns, with deep and shallow lines all over the comb, and the coating is shiny and moist. When the sun falls on it, it gives off a luster like water ripples.
She wrapped the comb in a handkerchief. With just one movement, the medicine in the porcelain bottle was sprinkled on the comb and penetrated quickly. The medicine was light brown and blended with the lines on the comb, leaving no trace at all. .
She held the comb, shined it in the light, and nodded calmly to Han Changmu.
Han Changmu coughed lightly and asked, "Li Biaotou, how long have you been using this comb?"
Li Yushan's face was full of doubts: "I bought this comb from a Hu businessman four years ago when I was traveling as a escort. He said that I often use this comb to comb my hair. It relaxes the muscles and activates blood circulation. It makes my hair black."
Han Changmu nodded and said: "This is it." He held the comb with a handkerchief and handed it to Li Yushan. He pointed at the lines on it and said, "Look, the poison and the lines of this comb have been integrated into one. I'm afraid you can't take it." Shortly after arriving here, the comb was poisoned.”
Hearing this, Li Yushan was shocked and was speechless for a long time.
Yao Yao lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, and had a hard time holding back his laughter.
Li Yushan came back to his senses and said doubtfully: "That's not right. This comb is full of tricks. I have been using it for four years. How could I get so poisoned?"
Han Changmu sighed: "This comb is an unusual personal item. It is used every day. If the head is damaged, the poison will penetrate much faster. You have only used it for four years and you have been so deeply poisoned." , if it had been discovered any later, I’m afraid your life would not have been saved.”
Yao Yao lowered his head and sighed in praise.
He is so eloquent and thoughtful. If anyone is to talk serious nonsense, it is certainly the young envoy from the Internal Security Department of the Jing Dynasty.
Li Yushan was shocked, fearful and thankful again and again. But even if he found the source of the poison, it was difficult to find out who had done it to him. The escorts around him came and went. , one group after another has changed in four years, and the people around me now are no longer the same people four years ago.
He was depressed for a moment, and then thought about it. He had traveled around the world for decades, and had been in dangerous situations several times. His life was already a life he had picked up. If he could find the source of the poison, he would not be able to survive for a few more years. Nothing more to ask for.
He cupped his hands towards Han Changmu, took a breath, and said weakly: "In that case, Master Lao Han will take care of the rest."
Han Changmu returned the salute: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will do my best."
Yao Yao's eyes fell on the dart bag again, and he quickly dodged it, wrapped the comb, and said: "This comb, I will take it back with you. I will take a closer look in the next few days to see if I can find out what's in the dart head." What kind of poison is it?”
Li Yushan nodded equally politely: "Well, thank you for your hard work, girl."
Yao Yao had something on her mind and was a little absent-minded. Besides, having acupuncture in the afternoon was not suitable for her as a girl to watch here. She resigned and turned to leave.
However, Han Changmu called Yao Yao from behind and said, "Go and ask the boy to boil a bucket of bath soup, and then bring lunch over."
Yao Yao nodded and then withdrew.
The lunch was placed in Li Yushan's room. Yao Yao took a silver needle and tried each of the meals. There was no difference, and then he invited Han Changmu and Li Yushan to eat together.
She was quite preoccupied and didn't eat much.
Han Changmu didn't know what was going on. He was afraid that Li Yushan would see something, so he coughed slightly and suddenly said: "A Yao, go and see if the bath soup is ready, and ask the boy to bring it over."
Yao Yao let out a sigh, and the bamboo chopsticks fell to the ground.
She bent down to pick up bamboo chopsticks, and suddenly she saw Li Yushan's left foot hanging from the edge of Hu's bed with his clothes exposed.
There was no footwear on that foot, and the skin on the inside of the ankle was slightly lighter in color and had a hideous scar, as if it had been burned by fire.
Her eyes narrowed with a cold light, and her heart twitched hard.
Picking up the bamboo chopsticks and putting them on the food table, Yao Yao regained his composure and excused himself.
After she finished Han Changmu's instructions, she felt a little dazed and walked back to the room aimlessly, leaning heavily on the door, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
Her heartbeat was ups and downs, she felt a little suffocated and out of breath.
She slowly moved to the bed, lifted up the hem of her goose-yellow muslin skirt, her snow-white muslin trousers, and took off half of her footwear, exposing the inside of her left ankle.
She twisted a hot handkerchief and put it on the inside of her ankle, covering it for as long as a cup of tea. When the handkerchief got cold, she replaced it with a hot one.
After a cup of tea, there was a shallow tattoo on the inside of my ankle.
The tattoo was light cyan and very deep, like blood vessels under the skin.
She stretched out her hand and touched it. Only she knew that it was not a blood vessel, but that someone had used something to penetrate deep into her skin and pierced it with such a pattern. Normally it would not show any traces, but it would become visible when exposed to heat.
This was a secret she discovered after she grew up and became sensible, taking a bath once and soaking for a long time.
She didn't know what the pattern meant or where it came from. She didn't even know where to look into it.
