Mao Er didn't know that his secret had been revealed, and he still swore that what he said was absolutely true.
"Since you are loyal to the master, I will give you another chance." Sanfu threw the medicine bag in his hand into Mao Da's arms and said, "Boil this medicine into soup and give it to Niu Hulu."
"May I ask Third Master, what kind of medicine is this?" Mao Da asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, it's not poison." Sanfu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "It's just a dose of crazy medicine. Anyone who takes it for five days will become unconscious and almost crazy."
Mao Da was shocked, looked at Mao Er and said, "Third Master, what should I do if Niu Hulu doesn't want to drink?"
Hearing this, Sanfu immediately stared and shouted: "If you don't want to drink it, just drink it. Do you still need me to teach you? Idiot!" Seeing the Mao brothers only agreed, he took a breath and stood up.
He lightly patted his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, as long as you two do your job well, the master will never treat you badly. After the work is completed, in addition to the five hundred taels each of you originally agreed, you will be rewarded with an additional two hundred taels."
.”
When he heard the money, Mao Er couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to please: "Don't worry, Third Master, I will definitely complete this matter for the master."
"Very good, I'll come and hear the good news in five days." Sanfu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you can eat, I'll leave first."
After Sanfu left, Mao Er stared at the bundles of medicine packages on the table, gritted his teeth and said to Mao Dadao, who had a changeable expression: "Brother, we have no way out. If Niu Hulu doesn't go crazy and die in five days,
It’s us, let’s do it!”
"Let me think about it again." Mao Da sat in his chair and hesitated.
Mao Er stamped his feet and said anxiously: "Brother, what else are you thinking about? The Niu Hulu family treats us well, but if people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. You can't even risk your own life for her, right? Brother!"
"I told you to let me think about it!" Mao Da was upset by his urging and couldn't help scolding him with a straight face, "Are you saying that I don't care about my life? But we can't just believe what he says. I always feel that
His words cannot be trusted. This is a gamble involving lives, and we must think carefully about it."
Seeing that what he said was reasonable, Mao Er stopped urging him and focused on the pot of dog meat that was already stewed with an attractive aroma. While eating, Mao Er eagerly waited for Mao Er to make up his mind.
It was night, Ling Ruo was talking to Li Wei in the house, and suddenly Mao Da came in with a bowl of yellow-brown medicinal soup that exuded a strong medicinal smell. He saluted Ling Ruo and said with a smile: "I heard that the master has been coughing a lot these days.
It must be that the cold has invaded the body, and coughing for a long time can easily harm the body, so I went to the doctor to get a few doses of medicine specially designed to treat cough. Master, please drink it while it's hot."
"It's hard for you to be worried." Ling Ruo put down the book in his hand and reached out to take the medicine bowl that Mao Da held carefully in his hand. When his fingers touched the wall of the bowl, he frowned slightly because there was something sticky on the wall of the bowl.
The feeling of greasy hands is like sweat stains, but in this winter, how can Mao Da's hands be sweaty?
Thinking like this, the corner of his eye swept over Mao Da who was standing there without any trace, and found that he looked calm on the outside, but from time to time he secretly raised his eyes to look at the medicine in his hand, and he showed a look of panic.
Ling Ruo looked down at the steaming decoction in her hand, with a cold look in her eyes. It seemed that the medicine was not as simple as Mao Da said, and she was afraid there was something else going on.
At this time, Li Wei, who was standing by the window, came over and whispered softly: "Master, I found that Mao Er was also outside, and I didn't know what I wanted to do."
When Mao Da saw that Ling Ruo hadn't taken the medicine for a long time, he became more and more panicked. He was afraid that Ling Ruo would notice it as time went by, so he said with a smile: "Master, drink the medicine quickly. It will be very painful when it gets cold."
.”
"Really?" Ling Ruo smiled, but before Mao Da had time to be happy, he heard a loud "clang", and saw Ling Ruo slamming the medicine bowl back up, and said to Li Wei: "Open the door.
!”
"Boom!" As Li Wei responded, the door opened with a bang. As the wind and snow poured into the house, Mao Er, who had been peeking outside, was suddenly exposed to everyone, with nowhere to hide.
Mao Er was stunned for a while before he walked in with a smile and said: "Slave... I happened to pass by here just now. I heard... I heard voices inside, and I was planning to come in."
Ling Ruo ignored his clumsy lie and just pointed at the bowl of yellow-brown medicine and said coldly: "Tell me, what kind of medicine is this bowl?"
Mao Da tried hard to suppress his suddenly accelerating heartbeat, and said with a forced smile: "Looking at what the master asked, of course it is medicine to cure cough, otherwise what else could it be."
"Don't you say so?" Ling Ruo stroked her hair and sneered: "Well, since you said this is a good medicine for treating diseases, I will reward you with a drink, Mo Yu, bring it to Mao Da for me."
"No... no need... no need." Looking at Mo Yu who was walking towards him with the medicine, Mao Da broke out in a cold sweat. He kept waving his hands and said with all his strength: "I'm not sick or in pain, so there is no need to drink medicine.
.”
"Since it is a good medicine, it will naturally heal the sick and strengthen the body." At this point, Ling Ruo's eyes turned to Mao Er, who was looking restless. Before she could say anything, Mao Er was already trembling with panic.
What to do.
He was never loyal to Ling Ruo, nor did he really think highly of this down-to-earth master. He only had interests and himself in his eyes. His heart was even more flexible than Mao Da's, and he constantly encouraged Mao Da to drug Ling Ruo according to Sanfu's words so that they could use it.
Get the money and get out of here.
However, at this moment, Ling Ruo's gaze made him feel like needles pricking him. Like last time, he had the advantage, but he couldn't even muster the courage to look at her. This woman's gaze always made him shudder.
He had the illusion that he was in hell, and even felt a trace of regret.
"Do you want to drink it or not?" Following Ling Ruo's words, Mo Yu had already brought the gradually cooling medicine to Mao Da's lips. Seeing this, Mao Da knew that this matter could not be hidden, so he had to kneel down.
He said in a painful voice: "Brothers, slaves, have no choice but to do any harm. I don't mean to cause harm. Please forgive me, Master!"
Mo Yu heard clearly from the side and couldn't help but angrily said: "You two really have bad intentions. Fortunately, the master has treated you so kindly over the years. Although it is not about fine clothes and food, no matter what good things Master Rong and the others send, the master always
Remember to leave a copy for you, and remember to give you a wishful tassel every Chinese New Year. I thought you had gotten better, but I didn’t expect you still had the intention of harming others. It’s true that dogs can’t change their eating shit!”
Hearing her compare him to a dog, Mao Da did not refute, but said to Ling Ruo: "I know that I am sorry to my master, and I also know that I am not a good thing, but ants still know how to cherish their lives, and I really don't want to lose them so early."
