"Don't try to sweet - talk me. I've cut out more people's tongues than the pig tongues you've ever eaten!" Deng Xiao gritted his back teeth and said.
"To be honest, I don't eat pig tongues." Yi Qing cleared the bowls and chopsticks into the cabinet and then casually picked up a rag to wipe the cabinet door.
Deng Xiao swore that in his entire life, he had never met a woman as slippery as a loach as this one.
"Hu is almost always by my mother's side," he said gnashing his teeth. "So you won't find a chance to feel my mother's pulse. Hu also guards her medicine tightly. It's even more difficult to get it. So if you're counting on these two methods, forget it. Think of something else quickly."
"What can I do?" Yi Qing said helplessly. "Aren't you asking the impossible of me?"
"I'm just asking the impossible. Anyway, if you can't solve this problem, you can't go back to see your son." Deng Xiao threatened.
After thinking for a while, Yi Qing said, "Then how about I find a way to put some croton in Hu's food to make her run to the toilet, and then I can take the opportunity to feel your mother's pulse?"
"No." Deng Xiao flatly refused. "My mother will definitely tell others."
Yi Qing thought he was right. She could even imagine how Mrs. He would praise her to the skies and extol her like a flower.
Especially now that they were trapped in this desolate place, the only people she could talk to were them. Hu was already very suspicious. If she knew that Yi Qing knew medicine, she would surely figure it out immediately.
"Then use sleeping incense," Yi Qing said. "Sleeping incense should work, right?"
Put them all to sleep, and then she could take the opportunity to go in and feel the old lady's pulse.
Deng Xiao still frowned. "That bitch will be more alert after she wakes up from the stupor."
"Don't worry," Yi Qing said confidently. "The sleeping incense I've made will only work for a quarter of an hour. She won't think she's been sleeping. She'll just think she took a little nap."
"Really?" There was obvious disbelief in Deng Xiao's eyes.
"Well, then you come up with a solution!" Yi Qing said irritably.
After hesitating for a moment, Deng Xiao said, "Then do as you say. But after you make the sleeping incense, I'll find someone to test it first. And even if it works, you can't rummage through Hu's things. That bitch is very alert..."
"Got it."
Yi Qing had been here for three days. During this time, she thought countless times, "Xiao Tian, you fool. Do you know you're going in the wrong direction?"
She didn't expect Xiao Tian to come like a god to rescue her. Men were unreliable; she still had to rely on herself. But she was very worried about Baozi being alone in the mansion, feeling lonely and scared. She hoped someone would accompany him at home.
If it weren't for worrying about Baozi, she wouldn't really mind staying here for a few days, because Mrs. He was really full of quirks.
Yi Qing thought that Mrs. He's calling out "Gou'er" a hundred times a day was her source of joy.
Hu's changing expressions in front of and behind Mrs. He, Deng Xiao, and herself were also very interesting.
It seemed that this woman was the one who had suffered a great change and become schizophrenic.
She coaxed Mrs. He very well. The latter trusted her completely and kept nagging Deng Xiao to find a man for her.
Deng Xiao's frustrated look of wanting to flare up but not daring to was so funny.
However, this man was at least filial, not completely useless.
After Deng Xiao confirmed that Yi Qing's sleeping - incense formula was usable, they finally carried out the plan that night.
"Hurry up!" He couldn't help but urge Yi Qing and nervously looked at Hu, who was lying asleep beside the bed.
Looking at that disgusting face, he had an urge to tear her to pieces.
"Don't worry, she won't wake up." Yi Qing boasted. "If I say she'll wake up at the third watch and three quarters, she won't wait until the third watch and four quarters, nor will she wake up at the third watch and two quarters."
As she spoke, she took out Mrs. He's wrist from under the quilt and placed her cool fingertips on her pulse.
"How is it?" Deng Xiao stared at her intently, not daring to blink. His heart was pounding with nervousness. He leaned forward and asked.
"Step back. You're blocking the light!"
Deng Xiao: "… What do you need light for when feeling the pulse?"
"Don't you know the four diagnostic methods of looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse? Layman, shut up." Yi Qing said impatiently.
Deng Xiao's face turned blue with frustration, but he really didn't dare to say a word and silently took two steps back.
Yi Qing was really in a bad mood.
Taking Deng Xiao back to the small room where she lived, Yi Qing said, "I really didn't expect that there would still be people using this kind of thing now."
Ruyi Ointment... She should have thought earlier that the only things that could make people addicted were that kind of contraband. It was just given a different name, but in essence, it was still that heinous stuff.
So those who made this kind of thing deserved to die!
"… Your mother likes to eat strong - flavored food because after using this medicine, her sense of taste will gradually become dull." Yi Qing said. "Your mother has been taking this medicine for quite some time."
"Is there any way to cure her?" Deng Xiao could almost hear his own pounding heartbeat. He felt as nervous as if waiting for a trial. He held his breath and stared at her.
"No." Yi Qing closed her eyes.
Deng Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank. He was like an enraged beast, but soon fell into deep despair.
He murmured, "I've stained my hands with blood. I'm not afraid of going to the eighteenth level of hell after I die. But my mother is so kind that she wouldn't even step on an ant. Why is this happening to her..."
"I just said there's no way to solve it for the time being," Yi Qing said calmly. "And no matter whether it can be solved or not, you can deal with Hu now."
"Really? There's a way?" Deng Xiao was like a dying fish that had finally seen water.
"Maybe," Yi Qing said. "Aren't you concerned that you can deal with Hu now?"
"Her matter is not as important as my mother's health."
"Take it slow and plan carefully," Yi Qing said. "I know what Hu's medicine is, and I can make it. Later, I'll gradually reduce the dosage for the old lady and try to help her quit it in a period of time. But - "
This result was much better than what Deng Xiao had expected. It gave him a huge surprise, so he said happily, "Go on. I'm listening."
"But I'll only give you the exact amount you need. I won't give you the formula, and I won't give you an extra pill. " Yi Qing gritted her teeth. There was something in her eyes that Deng Xiao couldn't understand.
He wanted to ask, but in the end, he didn't, because he saw that there were tears glistening in Yi Qing's eyes.
As long as he could save his mother, he didn't want to think about other things, nor did he want to take advantage of this formula.
"Okay, as long as you can guarantee that you can really make the same medicine."
"I guarantee it. You can take action against Hu now."
She hated Hu, and she hated all those who used this kind of thing!
Because in her previous life, the person she loved most had died at the hands of these people.
Yi Qing's father was a policeman. He had fought against these people for more than ten years. When she was eight years old, he died in the line of duty.
"I'm tired. I'm going to rest. You can leave," Yi Qing forced back her tears and said coldly.
"Then get some rest early." Deng Xiao gave her a deep look, turned around, went out, and closed the door.
