EBE Chapter 187: Too Many Skills Are Not Overwhelming
Chapter 187: Too Many Skills Are Not Overwhelming
In the morning, when Xiaohuan was washing dishes, Chu Xu took the initiative to deliver breakfast to the two men in black.
He slept so soundly last night that he had no idea that a thief had broken into his house. He was very curious.
The second man in black had secretly untied the rope, and when Chu Xu approached, he suddenly attacked and wanted to take Chu Xu hostage.
Unexpectedly, a six-year-old child slipped like a loach and avoided this unexpected attack.
Young Master Chu said, this is just the beginning, it is far inferior to my brother's sudden attack. Don't you know that he is the best at escaping?
He called Xiaohuan and Shitou, and then he surrounded the two men in black and beat them up.
No tricks, all strength.
After beating them, tie them up again and throw them in the yard to dry in the sun.
Chu Xu finished telling the story, then walked over to the two men in black and placed a bowl of water where they couldn't reach it.
——Hehe, I can see it but I can’t drink it, so I’ll let you sneak attack me!
The two men in black who were dizzy, thirsty and thirsty from the sun: "..."
After a while, Shang Wan came out holding the freshly washed Yuanyuan, and sat on the swing to wipe the soft hair on Yuanyuan's head.
Yuanyuan felt itchy, but she couldn't hide in her mother's arms, so she had to puff out her white and tender cheeks, look up with her big eyes, and pout her little mouth to blow away the stray hair that had run onto her forehead.
"Hu-hu-"
The soft hair was blown up like feathers.
Shang Wan smiled and pinched her, "My dear, have you discussed it with your friends in the mountains?"
"Okay!" Yuanyuan stopped blowing her hair and answered in a loud and clear voice.
The task assigned by my mother was completed successfully.
"Then go to the fields with your uncle tomorrow morning to open up wasteland. Keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't get chased by animals again."
Yuanyuan nodded her head, "Okay!"
"Stone, come here."
Shitou was repairing his hoe. When he heard Shang Wan calling, he put down his things and walked over quickly, "Sister, what's the matter?"
Shang Wan briefly told him about the land reclamation, and then pointed at the two men in black in the yard, "Here, two ready-made coolies."
The two men in black are tall and strong, with bulging muscles. It would be a pity if they were not used to work.
Shitou glanced at the two half-dead people and said in embarrassment: "Sister, they wanted to run away in the morning. What if they took the opportunity to run away while we were working?"
He is just stronger, but not as fast as his sister.
Shang Wan pondered and said, "How about destroying their martial arts?"
"No." Xiaohuan brought a small bowl of green bean paste to feed Yuanyuan, and said, "It will take a long time to recover after losing your martial arts skills. You are worse than ordinary people. You can only eat idle meals if you keep it."
Sugar was added to the mung bean paste, which was cooled in well water in advance. It tasted sweet and cool. Yuanyuan liked it very much, and her big eyes curved into crescents.
Shang Wan pinched her soft little face and glanced at the two men in black in the yard.
——We can’t let go of the labor force that comes to our doorstep. We have to think of a way to do it.
"What are you talking about?" Chu Xu came over with a bowl of mung bean soup to join in the fun, and the cat's eyes were full of curiosity.
Shitou told him what happened.
Chu Xu's eyes rolled, "I have a way."
Everyone looked at him, waiting to hear what was to come.
Chu Xu chuckled, "You can use poison and take the antidote every month. If you don't take the antidote, you will die in pain."
"How do you know?" Shang Wan raised his eyebrows and looked at him. The child is only six years old. His family shouldn't teach him these things, right?
"The Xixia captive told me." Chu Xu ate a spoonful of mung bean soup and licked the soup on his lips. "I treated him to a chicken drumstick and he told me. He said that the spies sent by Xixia had all taken poison to prevent them from disobeying and escaping."
Shang Wan remembered that the assassin who was chasing Chu Xu had taken poison in advance, and the child also mentioned this at the time.
But what's the use of knowing the method? They don't have the poison.
Chu Xu blinked, "Isn't it in the medical books?"
Shang Wan: "You said it was a medical book."
How can a medical book teach people how to make poison? It's not a complete list of poison formulas.
"I think my brother-in-law might have a solution."
Shitou's words attracted everyone's attention. He pursed his lips and whispered, "Brother-in-law knows how to make drugs."
Everyone:! !
"When he was still in the mansion, my brother-in-law read a lot of medical books and often consulted with Mr. Sun when he came to the mansion. I don't know how he made a sleeping pill and used it several times. Just a little bit can make people sleep all night."
Shang Wan was curious, "Who did he use it for?"
Shitou remembered it clearly, "To the gatekeepers. My brother-in-law didn't want anyone in the mansion to know that he went out at night. I secretly inquired about it. After being drugged, he would have sweet dreams. Those gatekeepers didn't notice it at all."
Shang Wan thought that this was probably not an ordinary drug, and it might have effects similar to hallucinogens.
"Brother-in-law can make laxatives." As he spoke, Shitou remembered something else. "I used all of it in Lu Chengyuan's meals. Antidiarrheal medicine was useless. Asking the doctor for acupuncture was useless. He had diarrhea for half the night and was exhausted."
Shang Wan: Well, that’s something the fox would do.
Shitou smacked his lips and said regretfully, "It's a pity that it was just that one time. I never found another opportunity after that."
Lu Chengjing, who had just finished reviewing in the study to see if there was anything he could hide from his wife, was stared at by everyone as soon as he came out.
Lu Chengjing:?
He asked calmly, "Why are you all looking at me?"
Shang Wan smiled, "Husband, can you make poison?"
Lu Chengjing:? ?
"Let's talk while we eat." Xiaohuan asked Shitou to go with her to bring the mung bean soup to the main room, and everyone had a bowl to cool off.
Yuanyuan and Chu Xu had already finished a small bowl of food. Now their two pairs of big eyes were looking at Xiaohuan, indicating that they wanted to eat more.
Xiao Huan's heart softened when they looked at her, but she refused firmly, "No, mung beans are cold in nature, you can't eat too much."
Eating in moderation can relieve summer heat and clear away body heat, but eating too much may cause stomach upset, which is not worth the cost.
The two little ones immediately showed the same listless expression.
Xiao Huan turned her head and silently said in her heart: I can’t see, I can’t see, I can’t see…
Two little ones: T^T
The sound of bowls and spoons colliding could be heard in the main room. Shang Wan tilted her head and whispered to Lu Chengjing about her and Shi Tou's plan.
The coolies that come to your door are not wasted.
Lu Chengjing finally understood why Shang Wan asked him that question. He said carefully, "I was able to make the drug and laxative by accident. The poison that An Nian mentioned must be specially made. I can't make it without the formula."
He read medical books only to save himself and to better regulate his body through diet, and he did not study much other things.
After hearing this, everyone was inevitably disappointed.
Shang Wan glanced at the people around him and felt that they had some potential that could be developed.
If they can make such powerful drugs and laxatives by accident, it is only a matter of time before they can make poison if they work harder, right?
As the saying goes, it is always good to have many skills. If you don't want to make a difference yourself, then make others a difference.
Lu Chengjing felt a chill on his back when he was looked at by her, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the porcelain spoon.
Shang Wan's eyes curved, "My husband, I think you can develop into a miracle doctor."
Lu Chengjing: “…”
