Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 33 Who Put the Poison

Ever since Nan Yan tied up Yu Ranyue and taught her a lesson that day, Nan Yan tidied up the storage room and moved the board she slept on these days into the storage room.

First, you don't have to worry about Yu Ranyue playing tricks to make things difficult for her in the middle of the night, and second, you want to be quiet, so you don't have to sleep in the same room with someone you hate at night.

It was late at night, and the outside of the house became quiet, and the flame of the oil lamp on the table in the house was still beating slightly.This is really not used to Nan Yan who traveled from modern times.There are no entertainment facilities, and I really don't know what to do except go to bed early when it gets dark.

Although she had taken off her coat and was lying on the wooden plank, her eyes kept staring at the beams of the house.She misses her parents in her previous life, those girlfriends and friends, and that colorful life.

It's just that she can't go back, she can't go back again... She will be dead when she goes back, and her original body must have been wiped out and buried in a deep grave.

It's useless to think about it anymore, she is no longer the modern her, but Nan Yan at this time, it is God's will to let her live in this life.

"Oh, what are you thinking about?" Nan Yan, with a tear in the corner of her eye, got up from the wooden board in a self-deprecating manner, wanting to drink some water to soothe her throat.

She smiled and went to the old wooden platform to pour a glass of water from the teapot.Just as he was sending water to his mouth, suddenly under the faint light, there was something long and thin swimming towards the room from the window.

Nan Yan held up the candlestick and took a closer look without hesitation, and suddenly felt terrified.

"Snake, there is a snake!"

Nan Yan was very afraid of this kind of soft swimming thing, so she couldn't inherit Zhao Yi's ability to control snake venom.

She put her hands on her chest, signaling herself to calm down.While keeping away from the snake as much as possible, his eyes quickly looked around the storage room.

There was a rusty sickle hanging on the wooden shelf next to it. From the whole room, this was the only metal product.Without thinking, Nan Yan carefully watched the snake's wandering direction, and quickly went to get the rusty sickle.

The uninvited guest seemed to have discovered the target suddenly, and the speed of wandering accelerated.Just as it was about to hide under the wooden board where Nan Yan was sleeping, Nan Yan held her breath and jumped up a few steps tremblingly. She waved the sickle in her hand a few times and landed on the snake about seven inches long. , cut into two paragraphs.

After being attacked, the snake turned around and exposed its head. It stuck out its tongue viciously at Nan Yan who was quickly backing away, and fell to the ground without responding.

"Yeah, it should be... dead..." Nan Yan closed her eyes tightly, overly frightened, and asked herself hesitantly after a long time.

After waiting for a while, the snake that sneaked into the house at night still did not move, and Luo Ran was sure that she cut off seven inches of it, so that she dared to wipe away the frightened sweat and approached slowly, using the curved edge of the sickle The head was carefully stabbed twice, but there was still no response.She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down limply on the ground.

Fortunately, it was a coincidence that seven inches of the snake was cut off. If not, the snake would have already jumped up and bit Nan Yan's body.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's alright now...don't be afraid..." Nan Yan stroked her still-sustained chest, comforting herself over and over again.

The snake had to be disposed of, it couldn't just be left here overnight, presumably Nan Yan was so frightened that she lost any sleepiness.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the snake is dead, it's dead..." She comforted herself again and again, carefully picked the snake to an open space in the house with a sickle, then moved to the wooden platform with small steps, picked it up The oil lamp shone on the snake.

The snake was two feet long, with leopard prints all over its body, its head was oval, and its eyes protruded slightly.

"This is a hundred-step snake. It's extremely poisonous!" After making a judgment, Nan Yan threw the snake to the door with a sickle in panic, and threw the sickle aside heavily in fear and anger.

She was afraid that if she was bitten by this hundred-step snake, if she could be saved, she would be paralyzed at least half of her body, and at worst she would be bedridden.

What made her angry was that it was impossible for this kind of snake to appear in West Lake Village.The hundred step snake should live in the subtropical jungle, but now it actually appeared in her house.

Ah!What else could it be but man-made?Nan Yan's eyes were sharp, and she snorted angrily.

Nan Yan doesn't understand snakes, but the memory of the original owner of this body suddenly flashed. When I was a child and his father Zhao Yi saw a group of people in official uniforms transporting a large vat on Shugang when I was a child, a hundred-step snake sneaked out of the vat. When it came out, it happened to be caught by Zhao Yi, so she had an impression of this kind of snake in her mind.

It is not known why those in official uniforms would pass by to transport such poisonous snakes.

In the early morning of the next day, Nan Yan didn't make breakfast on time, Qi Yuhao saw that the pot was empty, so he went to the door of the storage room.The strange thing is that Yu Ranyue also woke up very early this day, step by step behind Qi Yuhao.

When we got to the door, the door was ajar.Qi Yuhao deliberately coughed twice to remind Nan Yan in the room.

"Young Master Qi, please come in!" Nan Yan didn't take the initiative to come to greet her, but called indifferently from the room.

Qi Yuhao shook his head, and pushed open the door.The push of the door made him shiver calmly in fright.I saw a dead snake that I had never seen before thrown at the door of the house, looking very scary.

"What exactly happened?" Qi Yuhao asked with his hands behind his back, frowning.

Nan Yan didn't answer in a hurry, but cast her eyes on Yu Ranyue behind him, "What? Someone saw that I was not bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and I was lying here stiffly foaming at the mouth, and still talking to you alive and well, isn't it very strange?" Disappointed!"

Yu Ranyue frantically withdrew her gaze, and stared at the pile of dead snakes on the ground, as if she was thinking about something.

"What do you mean by that?" Qi Yuhao asked again meaningfully.

Nan Yan pointed at the dead snake on the ground, and said lightly, "Is there even a need to ask? Someone wanted to harm me with this poison that shouldn't have appeared inside or outside Yangzhou City while I was sleeping soundly late at night. Fortunately, I have to get old." The sky was shining, and I couldn't fall asleep last night, and when I got up to drink tea, I found this poisonous snake."

Qi Yuhao frowned deeper than before, his face was full of anger, he pulled out the blade of the sword with a "chuckle", and quickly picked the dead snake into the yard.

Yu Ranyue, who was behind her, saw the dead snake passing by, jumped up and dodged away in fright.She was bitten by a poisonous snake. It is said that once she was bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, her fear of poisonous snakes was much more exaggerated than that of Nan Yan.

After all, this is the place where Nan Yan sleeps at night, and a dead snake appears at the door, which really makes people tremble.

"Could it be that you already know who is going to poison you?" Qi Yuhao continued to ask.

Nan Yan wanted to nod and blurt out the real murderer's name, but she had no proof, so how could she say it by mouth.

There were no high-tech investigative tools in ancient times, otherwise we would definitely be able to find some clues about the murderer.

Thinking of this, Nan Yan was speechless.But after a while, she turned her head and came up with a good way to find out the real murderer, "Although I don't know who wants my life, I have a way to find the murderer!"

Nan Yan stepped forward and pressed against Qi Yuhao's ear, and quietly told him the evil idea of ​​finding out the real culprit.

Not long after, Aunt Zhang's family next door also heard about the poisonous snake sneaking into Nanyan's house, and they sighed in fright.

"Mr. Qi, can Aunt Zhang's family be excluded? They treat me very well on weekdays, and they won't do such vicious things." Nan Yan reminded.

Qi Yuhao originally wanted to reply "Forget it", but then he thought, wouldn't it be only him and Yu Ranyue left?

Except for herself, Yu Ranyue, and Aunt Zhang's family, Nanyan never had contact with outsiders in West Lake Village on weekdays, so the scope of investigation was only the people in these two houses.

In this way, it is not too obvious.In fact, he also guessed seventy percent of who the suspect was in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth, "Since people who come and go, they are treated equally, and they must be verified."

Qi Yuhao didn't forget to bow his hands to Aunt Zhang's family, which meant that he had offended him so much and hoped to forgive him.

Aunt Zhang's family didn't think too much about it, anyway, it was all for Nan Yan's benefit, so what was this small sacrifice?To put it bluntly, it is just to cooperate with the acting.

Nan Yan put the jars she had prepared on the stone table in the yard, "Okay, everything is ready."

"What... what are you going to do?" Yu Ranyue asked calmly, her eyes twitching.

Nan Yan took a step forward, raised her eyebrows and smiled and explained: "Miss Hui, this is exactly the method I proposed to catch the evil. Each of these jars contains anti-snake venom powder that my father has researched and prepared for many years. There is mucus, although people who have touched the body of a snake or a vessel containing a snake will definitely have a color reaction once they touch the powder, that is to say, their palms will turn green. However, on the contrary, people who have not touched the body of a snake People, even when they touch the powder, their palms are the same as usual, and there is no difference."

Suddenly, Yu Ranyue sneered, "The person who released the snake must have washed his hands clean by now, so how could it remain in his hands? Isn't this a waste of time?"

Nan Yan clasped her hands together and said, "Miss doesn't know that the snake's mucus is extremely permeable. The things that hold the snake are usually bamboo baskets. The snake's mucus can easily penetrate the basket and remain in the palm of the person who put the snake. Even After washing off the mucus on the surface of the palm, there are still residues between the texture of the palm, which can be gradually and completely removed after a few days."

"Then, let's not talk much, let's start!" Qi Yuhao waved his sleeves with a serious face, motioning everyone to stand in front of the jar, put his hands into the jar, and touch the bottom.

"Okay, after touching the powder, everyone can take out their hands." Nan Yan reminded.

Slowly, all the old and young people in the courtyard took out their hands one after another.All of them had snow-white palms, except Yu Ranyue's hands on the far right were still clean without any white stains.
