Su Li glanced at him and said, “Didn’t I tell you many times? These people are poisoned, not sick!”
Why didn’t they take it to heart after she said it so many times?
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and said, “Hehe, I forgot!”
When he saw those people’s faces just now, his mind went blank. How would he still remember that they had been poisoned.
As Su Li walked, she said, “In a while, slowly brew the medicine you brought according to my method. Then, bring medicine to those people and ask them to take them. Then, observe their reactions. You have to record it every hour.”
She had found these prescriptions in the book that Glutinous Ball had given her. She had also modified the prescription. Otherwise, with the medicinal properties of the previous prescription, the poison would have left behind aftereffects.
This side effect would make one feel powerless and often feel suffocated. Rich families could deal with this side effect slightly better. After all, they did not need to do farm work.
However, the villagers relied on farming to make a living. If they could not use their strength, it would be a huge problem for their future lives.
Cheng Yu hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright, I promise I’ll do it well for you!”
This kind of thing was too simple for him. He could do it with his eyes closed. In the past, he would leave this kind of thing to the medicine assistants below him. Now, he had become a medicine assistant!
However, he was completely convinced by Su Li. After all, her medical skills could completely crush him!
Su Li thought for a moment. It was not good for those people to continue to be tied up there. She simply found a useless cattle pen in the village and locked them in.
When those people saw Su Li, they couldn’t help but ask, “We’re a little hungry. Can you give us something to eat?”
Su Li threw a handful of herbs in front of them and said, “Eat!”
The people blinked at the herbs in front of him. Are these edible? They were locked in a cattle pen, but they’re not cattle!’
Looking at Su Li’s generous appearance, those who didn’t know better would think that this was some treasure!
Seeing their disdainful expressions, Su Li said, “It’s up to you whether you want to eat it or not. If you don’t, there’s no more!”
She had taken these herbs from her space. They had the effect of relieving pain and stopping itchiness. It was their loss if they didn’t eat them.
After Su Li left, those people glanced at the herbs on the ground and tried their best to turn their heads away. They did not want to eat these things.
Growl…
However, their stomachs started growling.
The two villains in their hearts began to fight!
Should they eat it or not?
If they didn’t eat, they would definitely starve, because Su Li definitely wouldn’t be kind enough to send them food. However, if they ate, they wouldn’t be full, but it would be enough to counteract their hunger!
In the end, they couldn’t take it anymore and picked up the herbs on the ground to eat.
Su Li saw everything that happened inside from outside and smiled.
Su Ze said disdainfully, “They really have no backbone. Just now, they looked like they wouldn’t eat it no matter what. Now, they’re fighting to eat it!”
Su Li said, “Everyone has a desire to live. When you reach a certain point, you only want to live and don’t care about anything else.”
Suzette nodded. “That’s true.”
If it were him, he would probably eat it too! After all, living was the right thing to do.
Because such a big thing had happened in the village, Su Xiaoqin called all the villagers together and ordered everyone not to tell anyone about what had happened in the village. If someone with ulterior motives found out and made a fuss about it, they would all die!
The villagers also knew the stakes. Everyone nodded to show that they would not spout nonsense.
Fortunately, there was still a water source on the mountain. Those who urgently needed water carried buckets up the mountain to get water.
When Su Li returned home, Cheng Yu was busy brewing medicine. He Yufeng and Su Jidong were still busy renovating the house. They could not help much with the matters in the village, so they might as well settle their own matters.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu were doing their homework in the courtyard. Riceball was lying at the side, basking in the sun. When it saw Su Li return, it immediately pounced on her.
“Mother, you’re back!” He Qingyao and He Qingmu were very excited to see her return.
Su Li smiled and walked over. “How’s the writing going?”
“Mother, take a look.” He Qingyao handed over his workbook.
Su Li took it and took a look. The handwriting was neat and the content was correct. She praised generously, “You’re awesome. Your handwriting has improved a lot.”
He Qingyao smiled and said happily, “Thank you, Mother!”
Su Li then looked at He Qingmu. “Where’s yours?”
He Qingmu kept his homework. “Um, I’m not done yet!”
Su Li quickly took his workbook over. When she saw what was on it, she almost exploded on the spot.
“What’s this?”
He Qingmu lowered his head guiltily and whispered, “It’s a crow!”
Su Li gritted her teeth and said, “I told you to write and you just drew crows? Did you ignore my words?”
He Qingmu shook his head. “I didn’t. I planned to draw two crows first before writing!”
Su Li rubbed her temples. “Go face the wall and reflect on yourself. Then, write another 50 words.”
He Qingmu looked like he had nothing left to live for. He could face the wall and reflect, but wasn’t 50 words a little too much?
“Mother…” He Qingmu tried to act cute.
Su Li said with a straight face, “It’s useless to act cute and plead me. If you can’t finish writing today, don’t even think about sleeping.”
When Jiao Yuying saw He Qingmu’s pitiful look, she could not help but plead,
“Isn’t 50 words a little too much? In my opinion, 10 is enough!”
He Qingmu nodded repeatedly. “Grandma is right. Just ten big words will do. I’ll definitely write it well.”
Su Li said firmly, “Mother, don’t interfere in this matter. If we don’t teach him a lesson, he won’t know where he went wrong.”
She then looked at He Qingmu and said, “Don’t think about those useless things. It’s useless no matter who pleads for leniency. If anyone else comes to plead for leniency, we’ll add another 20 words.”
When He Qingmu heard this, he was scared out of his wits and quickly expressed that he accepted the punishment.
Su Li gave some instructions before entering the house and closing the door to continue studying the prescription.
Su Xiaoqin was drinking tea at home when his wife said, “Husband, the doctor from Huiren Hall is here. Are you going to go over and get close to him and invite him over for a meal?”
Su Xiaoqin’s hand that was holding the teacup paused. “You’re right. I should go over. If my relationship with the doctor improves, it will be convenient for us to do anything in the future!”
His wife nodded and said, “Isn’t that the case?”
Su Xiaoqin quickly put down the teacup. “Alright, I’ll go now!”
When Su Xiaoqin arrived at the Su family, he saw Cheng Yu brewing medicine.
He went over.
Cheng Yu glanced at him without saying anything..
