The old woman put down the wood and Siyan took a look. After so long, she only carved a few knives.
"Girl, please eat slowly. There's more." The old woman took some firewood from the side and put it in the fire pit, and the flames started to grow loudly.
"Yes." Siyan was busy drinking the soup and responded with the soup in her mouth.
"Child, do you know what ingredients are put in this to make it so fragrant?" The old woman opened the lid of the pot and fiddled with it a few times with a spoon.
Siyan stopped drinking the soup, shook her head, and watched the old woman scooping out the root-like things from the pot. The steam was rising, and the aroma became stronger.
"These are some medicinal materials. They contain poisons and other herbs..."
Siyan's eyes were serious, "poison", these two words made her wake up completely. She forgot about the chicken soup with attractive fragrance, and the dagger in her right sleeve quietly slipped into her hand, ready to fight at all times.
"The knife in your sleeve is very sharp..." the old woman said with a smile on her wrinkled face.
"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me?"
The old woman smiled again, bent over and scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, put it in a bowl, and slowly drank it, "Today's taste is the best..."
"You..." Siyan's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't expect that she would drink poison even though she knew it was poison.
"Poison can sometimes be beneficial to the body. Have you ever heard of fighting poison with poison? Dozens of medicinal materials in this soup are beneficial to the body, so you don't have to worry. Do you feel like a fire is burning in your body now?"
Indeed, Siyan felt that the coldness in her whole body was removed, even the fatigue and pain all over her body disappeared, and she felt much better.
"Thank you" Siyan said thank you
"Mother-in-law, have you ever seen a few men come here?" Siyan almost forgot about Butler Chen and the others and asked quickly
The old woman took a sip of soup, thought for a moment, and said, "I've been here before, but I left again."
"Left again?" Siyan didn't believe it. She and Butler Chen agreed to meet up in the woods. Since they escaped safely, they would naturally wait for her.
"They were taken away by a few people. There is a letter on the big tree outside the door," the old woman said, pointing in the direction outside the house.
