People around the wellhead looked curiously at the water the guards brought back.
This time the water still looked clear.
But even Wen Jin could smell its faint fragrance.
She asked someone to pour it into a tea bowl and took a sip. It was clear and sweet.
"I think it's okay." Wen Jin looked at Yu'er questioningly.
Yu'er sniffed it, looked at his mother in surprise, and then took a bite, "Eh?"
Wen Jin winked at him.
Yu'er didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "Okay, it's so sweet and delicious, and it also quenches your thirst."
At this moment, the civilian laborers who were working had realized that the princess was here specifically to solve the well water problem.
No one dared to come forward to speak, and thanked her from afar, "I only hope that the princess can solve this drinking water problem!"
"Nowadays, even food is hard to come by. People have no energy and work is slow. It's slowing down the construction schedule. I'm afraid..."
The people are worried, the construction period has been delayed, not to mention making little money, and they cannot afford to be blamed again by their superiors.
"There are five wells in this area, and three of them have this problem. The other two wells are not bitter, but they have little water and cannot supply water for so many people." Banxia said.
Wen Jin nodded and looked at his son.
Yu'er blinked at her, "Auntie, I understand."
He can't say it here. Aniang told him that he can only say it when there are no outsiders.
Wen Jin understood and gave instructions to Banxia.
"This is the only amount of medicinal materials we brought this time. The other wells will be dealt with next time. For now, let everyone stick to this well."
"If the people dare not use it, you supervisors should set an example first."
Banxia immediately asked someone to set up the tea stove, and she sat not far from the wellhead, fetching water and boiling it for tea.
She sat there, supervising work and handling affairs, with cups of tea in hand.
The more Banxia drank, the more she felt something was wrong.
She stared at the teapot and then looked at the well nearby. "It's strange. How come the bitter well water in the past few days has become so sweet? It tastes like the mountain spring water in the house?"
"Besides, why does this tea have a refreshing effect? I feel like I'm full of energy!"
"What magical medicine did the princess use? With so much well water, how can the medicine be so diluted and still have such miraculous effects?"
Banxia was surprised and confused, and felt it was so magical.
Wen Jin and his son returned to the carriage.
Yu'er immediately couldn't stand it anymore, "Auntie, those poisonous bees and the well water, I'm afraid it's not easy!"
He frowned, looking young but serious. Not to mention, his appearance is very similar to Xiao Yuchen's.
The way he held his chin in thought was a bit like a lofty emperor.
Wen Jin scratched his nose in a funny way, "How do you say that?"
Yu'er said, "Master Wudu and his apprentice left me a note about this kind of poisonous bee..."
Wen Jin couldn't help but frown...Master and disciple of Wudu? What weird name?
"Auntie, listen to me!"
"This kind of poisonous bee is not native to Daliang. It is recorded in the book that only Shuzhou in Qi State has this kind of weird poisonous bee!"
"Its poison can make the poisoned person mad and violent, and very aggressive. In the end, he will die of fear."
Yu'er shook her head like a master giving a lecture.
He seemed to be contradicting himself.
But Wen Jin understood that this poison can frighten the poisoned person, thus stimulating their aggression. In the end, the poisoned person dies not from the poison, but from fear.
Wen Jin sighed, "It would be such a waste to use this strange poison on a dog."
Wen Yu shook his head, "In Daliang's opinion, it is a strange poison. But the handbook records that there are many such poisonous bees in the miasma forest of Shuzhou, so it is not considered a strange poison."
Qi State Shuzhou?
Wen Jin narrowed his eyes... The Qi people's methods were one after another, right? Do you have to have sex with her?
Yu'er continued, "And the well water. I smelled the well water, and it looked like a kind of snake venom. This kind of snake likes shade and likes to live in wells."
"It is highly poisonous all over its body. The water from the well where it is entrenched cannot be drunk. Although it is not poisonous to people, it tastes bitter. It will make you tired and weak when you take it for the first time. It will damage the liver and spleen if you take it for a long time."
Hearing this, Wen Jin looked at his son in surprise.
Because what he said was exactly the symptoms reported by Pinellia to the people here.
But Wen Jin didn't tell him this.
"What kind of strange medicine is Grandma's medicine? I can't smell its ingredients at all. This medicine can detoxify. I have tasted the well water, and there is indeed no problem."
"But I don't know how long the medicine will last? After all, the snake is alive. As long as it lives in the well, it will continue to emit poison. But the medicine will be gone once it is used up."
Wen Jin nodded slowly, "Is there any way Yu'er can lure the snake out?"
When Yu'er heard this, she wrinkled her childish brows.
Wen Jin suddenly felt a little ashamed. Her son had behaved so maturely and calmly just now that she almost forgot that he was only a six-year-old child.
Solving problems is what adults should do. At such an innocent age, he should be able to play without any worries.
Wen Jin quickly touched his son's head and said, "You don't have to worry too much about this matter. Grandma will figure it out."
Yu'er pursed her lips and muttered softly, "There is a way...it's just a bit risky."
When Wen Jin heard that he was going to take a risk, he subconsciously wanted to object.
Her son has helped her enough. As an adult, she really shouldn't embarrass a child...
But she hasn't spoken yet.
Yu'er actually took out a small box from her arms.
Wen Jin said, "Hey, isn't this the box where you raise golden silkworms?"
"The flower water snake is also a native of Sichuan. It eats frogs, water rats, and golden silkworms. And Yu'er's golden silkworms are particularly fragrant, so you can lure it out."
Yu'er curled her lips, "It's just my golden silkworm baby... wuwu, it's about to become food."
He pursed his lips and pretended to cry twice without squeezing out a single tear, and even squinted his eyes to peek at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin said, "What conditions do you want to put forward?"
Yu'er said, "In the first ten days of this month, can you not go to my uncle's house to take a test on teaching knowledge?"
Wen Jin couldn't laugh or cry, "Is uncle too harsh on you?"
Yu'er shook her head, "I want to catch that water snake and concoct a new medicine, but I'm afraid I will have to study it for several days and won't have time to go to my uncle's place!"
Wen Jin:......
Who is this kid following?
He wants the water snake himself, but he still pretends to be reluctant to negotiate terms?
Wen Jin said, "Deal. But you must be careful! Always have the detoxification pills my mother gives you ready, and don't be careless..."
Yu'er was overjoyed and urged her to go back, "I know, I know!"
They prepared the tools to catch snakes and returned to Lijia Village in the south of the city.
Yu'er put its golden silkworms in an urn with a mechanical lid, and lowered the urn into the well. As long as the snake was lured into the urn by the "scent" of the golden silkworms, the lid would fall down automatically, and the snake could not run out.
When she lowered the urn into the well, Yu'er's face was full of excitement... How could she still be reluctant to part with it?
Wen Jin was curious, "Aren't you worried that the golden silkworm will be eaten by a snake?"
Yu'er smiled...
