Chapter 132 Poisoning 3
He checked the windows carefully again, and then ran to other rooms and found that only the window where Jilang lived had a small hole.
It seems that he is coming for Ji Lang.
He stared at the tent where the old man lived for a long time. He had long wanted to capture the man and torture him, but Ji Lang said that he could not do so without evidence.
But in fact, he also discovered that the man was very strange. He always liked to stare at Ji Lang secretly, and his eyes were full of hostility.
And when did he put this poison? And it was so strong. Xishi only knew that some things would be poisonous if eaten or inhaled in large quantities, but it was incredible that such a small pill placed in such a small hole could poison Ji Lang.
Ji Lang lay in the room for a while and felt that he had to think of a way to catch the old man. Otherwise, who knows if he would poison somewhere else. It would be scary.
During lunch, Ji Lang told everyone about this in the kitchen.
"In the afternoon, Feng, you come and hide in my room, and the rest of us will go outside with the children. This man's method of poisoning is not very clever. He put the poison on the window at first. I guess Qingjiu and the others will be back soon. After they come back, there may be no chance for him to poison. He must be very anxious these days, so let's create an opportunity for him." Ji Lang said. It was not that he deliberately tricked Xiaoying, but that the poison was really weird. He felt uncomfortable every time he got close to it, so he had to rely on others. However, based on the old man's cautiousness, he would definitely pay attention to other people. Feng was a half-grown child, and his presence was not that high, so that person would not pay special attention to him.
"You hide behind the shelf. I think he will definitely come into my room this time. He might hide the poison somewhere in my room. You can just catch him and scream."
Feng nodded. He wanted to catch that man and beat him up.
I don't understand why Brother Lang doesn't want to catch him directly and has to go through so much trouble.
After dinner, Ji Lang pretended nothing happened and took Xiaoman into the house for a nap. He was not feeling well and was indeed sleepy. After lying down for a while, he was dazed and about to fall asleep. Xiaoman came over, helped him pull the blanket open and cover him, and then snuggled up beside Ji Lang. Although he was not sleepy, he closed his eyes.
I don’t know when Qing will come back. If he were here, my father wouldn’t be so sad. I really want to grow up quickly and protect my father.
In the afternoon, everyone went to the outer courtyard in waves. Lan called on Ahua and several other women to help knit sweaters. Uncle Lin and Li also took the kids outside.
The yard was quiet, without any movement.
Acheng's father came out of the tent, looked around and found that there was no one in the yard, even the two annoying dogs that usually wandered around the yard were not there.
He carefully pretended to be taking a walk, walked around the yard twice, and finally made sure that no one was there. Then he quickly entered Ji Lang's cave. He didn't seem like the same person as he was walking slowly in the yard just now.
After entering the cave, he looked around, trying to find the water container that Ji Lang always carried with him. He planned to put the poison directly in it.
But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it, so he finally decided to put it where Jilang usually slept. Just as he was about to do it, he was suddenly jumped out from behind the shelf and knocked to the ground by Feng.
"Damn it, I finally caught you." Feng shouted, "Come in quickly, I caught him, I caught him!!!"
Upon hearing the noise, the others rushed in immediately. Sa Shi was the first to run in. He grabbed the old man and threw him outside. Several poison pills wrapped in leaves in the old man's hand were scattered on the ground.
Sa Shiyi stepped on the old man, and Xi Shi came over to collect the poisons. This thing was weird, and Ji Lang felt uncomfortable when he got close to it. He quickly put it away and wrapped it in a plastic bag, planning to take it to show Grandma Xue later.
"I finally caught you. Who asked you to come here?" Sa Shi thought of Ji Lang's weak appearance these days and kicked him twice in hatred.
She was very strong, and after those two kicks, the old man was almost out of breath.
Ah Hua came over quickly, "Sa Shi, wait a minute before you fight. If he dies, you won't be able to get anything out of him."
After that, she turned to look at the old man. To be honest, she didn't know what the man's name was. Usually everyone called Ah Cheng his father. "Uncle, why did you do this? Dayan saved you and brought you here. Ji Lang and his family were willing to take us in and give us a place to live and food. Even if you are angry with us, why did you hurt Ji Lang?"
The old man looked at her, and with strength from nowhere, he pushed Ah Hua, who was squatting beside him, away, "Stop pretending here. If it weren't for you, my child wouldn't be dead."
Abai immediately ran to Ahua and helped her up, looking at the old man with some stubbornness and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Acheng went out with you guys, but how come he was bitten by wolves when he came back? I also heard that it was you, Dayan and the people here who set him up. How can I not hate him? He's my child!" His eyes were red, and he turned to stare at Ji Lang like a poisonous snake, "Especially you, the priest, you are the one who came up with all the ideas. I want to kill you, I want to kill you."
He struggled to get up, but was kicked to the ground by Sa Shiyi again.
Ji Lang was really speechless. He was obviously having a good time at home, but this man came to ask for medicine and was so rude. He then had other ideas and wanted to take over the Taotie tribe for himself. How could he not fight back when others came to attack him?
What kind of neurological logic.
Ji Lang rolled his eyes and said, "Don't take it for granted, old man. Your son followed others to seize my tribe and my territory. Can't I kill him in return? If you are not as skilled as others, don't blame us for being too ruthless. If we were not so capable, we would be dead by now."
"Why does this poison only work on me?" Ji Lang was very curious.
The old man said nothing and just remained in the same position as when he was kicked down by Sa Shi. He did not move at all. Only the violent heaving of his chest proved that he was still alive.
Several people surrounded him and questioned him for a long time, but couldn't get any information, so they tied him up and locked him in the woodshed.
Xishi took a few pills and went to see Grandma Xue.
After looking at it for a long time, "This looks a bit like blood clots." Grandma Xue suddenly said, then she took a bamboo cup, added some water to it, and put it in.
Immediately, an unpleasant smell spread out.
The two of them covered their noses and took two steps back.
Even Da Mao, who had been hiding in the doorway to enjoy the cool air, ran out and barked excitedly.
"What is this thing that stinks? Why does it smell so familiar?" Xishi muttered.
He was suddenly stunned, "This is the stench of cannibals."
Grandma Xue had also heard of cannibals, but she had no idea what they were. The two of them studied it for a long time but couldn't figure out anything.
"What should we do with this?" Grandma Xue pointed at the cup and the remaining small particles.
"Let's dig a hole and bury these, and bury them deep enough to prevent Ji Lang from getting too close and getting hurt. We'll keep the rest for now, and when Qingjiu comes back, we'll ask him if he has any explanation." Xi Shi said.
When Xishi came back after cleaning up, Jilang went into the bathroom again.
After a while, his coughing sound was heard in the toilet.
Ji Lang lit some Artemisia annua in the toilet, but Artemisia annua produces smoke and the toilet was small so the smoke couldn't dissipate, choking him and making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Damn it, I've really been through a lot." Ji Lang cursed, "It's really not easy to be an official. Being a priest, I don't know what the benefits are. Damn it, I have to take the blame sometimes."
Several people in the yard outside looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes, but no one dared to laugh out loud.
After a while, Ji Lang came out, holding his waist. Several women in the yard who were watching him laugh quickly lowered their heads and rubbed the wool in their hands until it flew up.
Ji Lang naturally knew that they must be laughing at him secretly, but at this moment his buttocks were aching and his legs were numb and sore, so he had no energy to care about it. He moved into the house. This magic herb was indeed a magic herb. He really didn't have many dreams since he drank it. Except for diarrhea, he felt a little lighter at other times.
He was half lying on the kang, staring in a daze at the shovel mark dug out on the top of the cave. Oh, sometimes he really missed Qingjiu, especially at times like this, when he felt a little aggrieved and wanted to scratch that guy, but he was not there.
His feet were still a little numb, and he was wandering around out of boredom, cursing in his mind, when he suddenly felt something small touch his calf. He immediately opened his eyes and sat up.
Xiaoman squinted her eyes and bared her teeth as she smiled at him, "Father, let me massage your legs so they won't be numb anymore."
"Oh, my son is so considerate. He is really his father's caring little vest." The little guy's hands were soft and warm, and he had no strength. He just followed the tickle, but seeing how hard the little guy was trying, Ji Lang didn't stop him.
"Why did you come in at this time? Aren't you guys playing in the mud?" Just after saying this, Ji Lang sat up with a start, and saw a string of mud marks on his gray pants. "Damn, little bastard, why don't you wash your hands? I have to wash my pants again."
Xiaoman paused with her busy hands, "Ah, I came in to wash it, but I forgot..."
"Okay, I'll punish you by making you wash my clothes today." Ji Lang picked up the little guy and said, "Look, I'm going to tickle you."
After playing around for a while, their clothes were all covered in mud, so they had to take the basin outside to wash their clothes.
Xishi and Sashi took their two kids outside to chase ducks and play. Maybe because of the hot weather recently, the ducks are not so active in laying eggs, but they keep quacking and the yard is never quiet.
Normally they are let out in the afternoon to take a walk and play in the water. It's not that Ji Lang is too inhumane and doesn't give these guys freedom. It's mainly because these guys can eat and poop, and if they are let out for a long time, the whole outer yard will be full of little lumps.
Maybe because little Tao An is a boy, he was smaller than his sister when he was born, but now he is getting stronger. He is a little taller than little Tao Rong, and his legs are more agile than little Tao Rong. Now he is running very fast in front with a big leaf in his hand.
Little Tao Rong followed behind, running unsteadily, shouting as he ran, "Brother...Brother...I want to play with leaves, leaves."
Sa Shi followed slowly behind, swinging the leaves in his hand, "Do you really have to play with that one? I picked another one for you, why do you have to play with your brother's one?"
She was really overwhelmed. It would be more exciting to chase two wild boars than to chase two little cubs.
Seeing Ji Lang coming out with a basin of clothes, followed by a little follower, Sa Shi asked casually, "We can't keep that old man locked up forever, right? Should we kill him?"
Ji Lang was stunned. Was this a decision for him? To be honest, even at this point, his mindset had not changed. He was still a little scared to decide a person's life or death.
But he couldn't let that man go either, after all, he wanted to kill him.
Ji Lang didn't say anything. He walked to the side of the sink and then spoke, "Let's wait for Qing Jiu to come back and hand him over to Dayan and the others. After all, he is from their tribe."
Xishi nodded. Although Sashi's idea was to kill Dang, he didn't quite agree with it.
This is the best way, let the people of Baiyun tribe deal with it themselves.
There was just some mud on the clothes, nothing too dirty, so just rinse it off. The water flowing out of the pipe was cool. Ji Lang looked at the bamboo joint that was rinsed very clean, and always felt as if he had forgotten to do something.
"Father, are you tired? Why are you in a daze?" Xiaoman reached out to pull Ji Lang's pants. He was waiting to help wring out the water in his clothes. Every time Ji Lang asked him to help hold on, but he couldn't, and would be dragged around. He thought it was too much fun.
Ji Lang came to his senses and thought, forget it, I’ll think about it later if I can’t remember it. He rinsed the clothes clean in two or three strokes and started wringing clothes with Xiaoman.
The two of them were laughing so hard that they were uncontrollably laughing.
When Grandma Xue knocked on the door, Xiaoman was being held by the clothes and doing pull-ups by Jilang.
After opening the door, Grandma Xue came in and stared at Ji Lang's face for a while. "I see that you look better."
Ji Lang looked up at the sky and said, "I've been doing this for two days. It seems to be working."
He especially wanted to ask if there was any good way to make his butt less painful.
And his butt is about to be turned into a massage pad by mosquito bites.
But he didn't mean to do it, and he still wanted to save some face.
But Grandma Xue also thought of this, and took out a small clay pot, which contained a mixture of animal oil and some strong-smelling herbs, and said, "Put this in the toilet, it will drive away some mosquitoes."
Ji Lang took it, his eyes full of joy, "Just leave it there? Does it really work? My toilet water isn't that magical."
Grandma Xue smiled and said, "I put one in the yard next door. It works."
This stuff is very good and can treat the symptoms. It is unlike those toilet waters and the like. Even if you apply it on your body, you won’t be afraid of the mosquitoes here at all.
This mosquito is really scary, with its long legs and that big mouth. Every time Ji Lang sees it, he feels that the saying that being sucked by mosquitoes can cause anemia is not an exaggeration at all.
