EBE Chapter 109: The Sheep Flower
Chapter 109: The Sheep Flower
Doctor Zhao was the closest, so naturally he arrived the fastest.
"I guess it's this guy. Did he get the powder on the ground? Let me see what it is."
Doctor Zhao, who doesn't know martial arts, could sense that someone was watching Xia Shengsheng's house these days. He even came to remind Xia Shengsheng a few days ago, but he didn't expect that Xia Shengsheng had already known about it.
This really shows Liu Zhongqiang's failure from the side.
"It's the powder of the sunflower!" Doctor Zhao looked towards the light and immediately figured out what it was.
"Wolfstalk?"
It was the first time that Xia Shengsheng heard this name. Although he had read some books about medicinal materials, he had never seen this herb called Naoyanghua.
Doctor Zhao was just about to explain when Village Chief Ma and several respected people in the village arrived.
Following them came Ma Da, Ma Er and a group of young people.
When Village Chief Ma heard Ye Chao’s description, he knew that this matter was serious.
With such a big incident, all the villagers had to be called together. Knowing that Ercheng had already gone to ask the village elders, he asked his two sons to bring more people over so that they could help in case anything happened.
Although it was the middle of the night, I had to get up no matter how reluctant I was when I heard Village Chief Ma calling me.
When they heard that it was Xia Shengsheng's family matter, many people came to help without being called.
In fact, all the villagers have received kindness from Xia Shengsheng, so they would naturally help when they can.
Village Chief Ma entered the yard and first went to check on Xia Shengsheng and her children.
"Xiao Xia! Are you and the kids okay?"
"We are all fine, village chief, luckily Roaring Sky Dog was alert.
Sicheng played outside today, came back late, and forgot to lock the door.
Just now, Roaring Sky Dog heard some noise ahead and woke us, mother and son.
Unexpectedly, when I looked forward, I saw Liu Zhongqiang pouring something into the well?
Fortunately, we stopped him in time. He had been cursing and swearing, so we had to tie him up and gag him to prevent him from causing trouble."
Xia Shengsheng would not be stupid enough to say in front of everyone that it was she who set a trap for Liu Zhongqiang.
"Are you trying to poison someone? You're still a scholar? How could you do such a despicable thing?"
"That's right. I don't know what's wrong with the Liu family. They always do those dirty things. I think they are rotten from the bottom..."
Before the person who said this could finish his words, he was poked by the person next to him.
Then the man remembered that there were two children from the Liu family standing there!
"Haha! I, I'm talking about Boss Liu's family, Ercheng, Sicheng, you are all good kids, uncle didn't say anything bad about you!"
The man could only smile awkwardly.
Ercheng and Sicheng shook their heads and for the first time felt ashamed of their surnames.
They had no feelings for their father in the first place, and now they were disappointed with the Liu family. They all wanted to change their names.
The village chief saw Doctor Zhao was also here, holding a package in his hand.
"Old Zhao! Is this what Liu Zhongqiang is going to throw into the well? What is this?"
Everyone listened attentively to see what Liu Zhongqiang wanted to put into the well.
Doctor Zhao continued with the explanation he had just given.
“The powder is from a plant called daffodil.
In fact, Herba Lycopodii is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs.
But most people have trouble controlling the dosage.
Like this big bag of sunflower powder.
Not to mention killing a few people, even the whole village could be poisoned to death.
And if the attack is rapid, there is no chance for rescue.”
However, there is one thing that Doctor Zhao did not mention. If the powder of wolfsbane was thrown into the well, it would not cause poisoning due to being diluted by such a large amount of well water.
Everyone was horrified when they heard what Doctor Zhao said.
The person who just said that Liu Zhongqiang wanted to poison was just saying it casually.
I thought it was just some croton, a medicine that can cause diarrhea.
They really didn't expect that their words would come true and Liu Zhongqiang would really kill someone.
Moreover, not only the Xia family, but everyone who works here will use this well and drink the water from it when they are thirsty.
He just wanted the whole village to suffer the pain of losing their loved ones.
Is that human being?
"Young man from the Liu family, you are too vicious! You want to bury our entire village with you."
Old Master Yu is over seventy years old today. He is leaning on a walking stick and hitting the ground hard. His chest rises and falls, and he looks very angry.
Xia Shengsheng hurried over to comfort him. She was so scared that she got angry at the old man in the next second.
"Grandpa, please don't be angry, take care of yourself!"
Village chief Ma and several older people also followed to offer comfort.
In the end, we simply sent the oldest person, Old Master Yu, back first. It’s not worth getting angry at such an old age.
"Liu Zhongqiang, I didn't expect that there would be such a vicious person like you in the village. You have read the sage books for so many years in vain, but they have really been in vain." Village chief Ma pointed at Liu Zhongqiang and said.
Others were actually very angry as well. If their own interests were not involved, they might have been able to evaluate the matter from the perspective of a bystander.
But there are more than 60 people working here at Xia Shengsheng's place, and almost every household has family members who drink water from this well.
If Liu Zhongqiang poisoned them, he would also kill their families.
Such people must not be allowed to stay in the village anymore.
"Village chief, drive him out of the village."
"Yes, I support it!"
"And Boss Liu's family, how much trouble have they caused in the past six months? There's no peace in the village with them around."
"Yes, drive them out of the village."
"Drive them out of the village..."
The sounds came one after another in Xia Shengsheng's yard.
Village chief Ma actually thought the same in his heart. Since everyone agreed now, he asked the two brothers Ma to untie Liu Zhongqiang and take him to Liu's house.
Xia Shengsheng and his family followed behind.
Er Cheng couldn't help but grumble, "Wouldn't it be too easy for them to just drive them out of the village? I think we should report them to the police and have Liu Zhongqiang sent to jail!"
When Doctor Zhao heard this, he pulled Ercheng away from the team and walked to the back, far away.
"Grandpa Zhao, why are you holding me?"
"Silly boy, I haven't finished what I was saying just now! This wolfsbane is indeed poisonous, and the quantity in this package is indeed very large.
But think about how much water there is in that deep well? So much water would have diluted the wolfsbane.
If you can finally drink it, I'm afraid it won't even be effective in clearing away heat and detoxifying.
If you report it to the authorities, they will also find a doctor who knows medicine to check it out.
Do you know that the drug won’t kill you? Liu Zhongqiang refused to admit that he bought poison and was eventually sent to prison, but was released in a few months at most.
It would be better to drive them out of the village from the beginning and let them go far away, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble in the future?"
After hearing this, Ercheng suddenly felt that this was the best arrangement, so he stopped talking.
When Village Chief Ma brought a large group of people to Boss Liu's family.
Liu Sun was also lying in the house, feeling anxious.
After all, she knew what Liu Zhongqiang had done and she also supported him financially.
But other people didn't know. Even Old Lady Liu thought that after her advice, Liu Zhongqiang no longer thought about taking revenge on Xia Shengsheng.
Instead, he locked himself in the house and read every night.
How could she know that Liu Zhongqiang locked the door every day, lit a candle and pretended to read a book, jumped out of the back window, and went to Xia Shengsheng's house every day to stake out!
