"Poisoned?" Li Zian felt a headache when he heard the word. He couldn't help but raise his eyelids and glance at Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu averted his eyes and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"
"Is there any solution?" Li Zian asked.
"I can only tell that the poison is not fatal, but it is not the poison I have seen. The Wuman tribe grows in the mountains and forests, and their understanding of many local plants and trees is much better than mine." Shen Tianshu said, "But the person who poisoned it It seems that they only want to stun the ghost master, and do not want to harm the ghost master's life. This is also related to their beliefs. According to the customs of the Wuman tribe, the soul of the person who kills the ghost master will be rejected by the gods forever, and will not be able to return after death. The mountains and forests will turn into lonely ghosts wandering outside."
"We still have to talk to Jia Lin about this matter," Li Zian said.
Although the two people were talking quietly behind each other's backs, over time they still aroused the suspicion of the great elder, who asked Qi Fei to ask them what happened.
Shen Tianshu said hurriedly: "The ghost master has been deeply troubled by headaches before. Although he was cured before, it has begun to show signs of recurrence over time.
"This sudden fainting was probably caused by Jialin being too worried about his injury. We were just discussing how to treat the ghost master with medicine."
Others don't know the inside story, but the great elder knows it very well.
When the Great Elder's head wind disease became more and more serious, in order not to let the tribe know about it, the Ghost Master used the excuse to concentrate on communicating with the mountains and forests, so he spent most of his time in seclusion and almost only came into contact with the Great Elder.
The ghost owner would indeed faint suddenly when he had a headache, and would wake up on his own after resting for a while.
It's just that many years have passed since those things happened, and this recurrence hasn't been that serious yet, so the great elder didn't think about it that way.
At this time, after listening to the explanation given by Qi Fei's translator, I also felt that Shen Tianshu's words were reasonable.
Shen Tianshu took the opportunity to say: "The ghost master only needs to rest. I still want to go back and take a look at Jia Lin's legs first. The reset was too hasty and chaotic just now. I'm afraid that his legs are not fixed properly and he will suffer another disaster in the future." It’s not good to sin all over the place.”
The Great Elder had a sullen face, nodded and said, "I'm here to guard the Ghost Lord, you go see Jia Lin!"
Although Jia Lin is the designated successor of the Ghost Lord, in the mind of the Great Elder, the number one priority is always the Ghost Lord, no matter who the Ghost Lord is.
Returning to Jia Lin's room, Li Zi'an winked at Jia Lin and said, "Jia Lin, Madam Tong has something to say to you alone about your legs."
Although Jia Lin didn't know why, he knew that his life was saved by Shen Tianshu, so he nodded without hesitation and then dismissed all the people waiting in the room.
Shen Tianshu looked at Qi Fei who was still standing by the bed.
Jia Lin saw this and explained: "Qi Fei is not an outsider, he is someone I trust!"
Shen Tianshu thought to himself, if I want to talk to you alone, I will be on guard against Qi Fei, and the others won't be able to understand what I'm saying.
Qi Fei immediately saw what Shen Tianshu meant, immediately thought of the ghost master's physical condition, and said proactively: "I was sweating all over just now, so go back and change clothes first, and you guys can chat."
After saying this, he immediately turned around and left the room without waiting for Jia Lin to persuade him to stay, and closed the door behind him.
The four guards went out to guard a corner without Li Zian's orders, just in case the wall had ears.
Jialin also saw that something seemed not right. If he really wanted to talk about his injuries, there was no need to hide from others like this.
"Ms. Tong, what happened? Is it my father..."
Shen Tianshu said: "Don't be anxious yet, the ghost master has nothing to do at the moment."
Although Da Qi's words were not very good, Jia Lin was still keenly aware of the implication of Shen Tianshu's words and asked: "It's okay now, does that mean something will happen in the future?"
"Although there are signs of recurrence of the headache, the ghost master is still relatively mild and not enough to endanger his life. However, this fainting is not due to the onset of the headache, but because he was poisoned."
"Poison?" Jia Lin was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the bed, "How is that possible! Who would have such courage!"
Li Zian took over and said, "Then it depends, who wants you to die?"
"Let me die?" Jia Lin was confused again. "Didn't you say you poisoned the ghost master? Did someone blame me for the poisoning? But now I can't even get out of bed... "
"I've heard about some of your customs. It's impossible for your tribe to harm the ghost master, right? If you kill the ghost master, your soul will be abandoned by the gods forever, abandoned by the mountains and forests, and become a lonely ghost? Is that so? "
"That's right, so it's absolutely impossible for our tribe to do anything detrimental to our father..." Jia Lin said, his eyes widening in shock, looking at Li Zian and then at Shen Tianshu, "That's why you insist Let Qi Fei go out, are you doubting Qi Fei?"
"That's not true." Li Zian shook his head and said, "Although strictly speaking, Qi Fei cannot be ruled out as a suspect, but I don't think his suspicion is high.
"First, the poison in the Ghost Lord was not deadly, the poison just made him fall into a coma.
"Secondly, if what I think is right, if something unexpected happens to the Ghost Lord, we and Qi Fei, the foreigners, will become the targets of the Great Elder's wrath, unless Qi Fei's fight is to exchange lives for one life. It’s a life-saving idea, otherwise there’s no reason to do it.”
Jia Lin quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Qi Fei will never kill his father."
"Then we have to think about who would benefit the most if you died."
After Li Zian said this, he saw that Jia Lin was still confused, so he had to analyze it carefully for him.
“First of all, your leg is just broken, and it’s not the hottest and humid time of summer, so how could it become so serious?
"Secondly, since a miracle doctor from Daqi came to your tribe more than ten years ago and not only treated the people of your tribe, but also cured the ghost master's head wind, why are the elders so repulsive this time? Da Qi invited the doctor to come? Who said or did something behind his back?
"Finally, we have to analyze, what kind of consequences might result from leaving the ghost master unconscious? If Mrs. Tong didn't know the ghost master's condition back then, she might have been arrested as a witch by now, right?
"After Mrs. Tong is arrested, I will definitely not be able to continue to treat you. Your leg will most likely be disabled, and you will lose the qualification to inherit the position of Ghost Lord.
"Then think about it, who is most beneficial to this result?"
Although Jia Lin is very smart, the interpersonal relationships within the Wuman tribe are relatively simple compared to the outside world. As the son of the Ghost Lord, he has always been well protected. How could he have thought of this.
He could understand everything Li Zian said, but his mind seemed to be stuck and he couldn't think at all.
