17. Chapter 17 If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
His eyes caught a red shadow in the grass not far away, Zi Tong smiled coldly, bent down to pick up the medicine shovel from the grass, turned around and walked over, sending the medicine shovel in front of Zi Lian.
"Huh, you're wise!" Zi Lian raised her hand, took the medicine shovel she handed over, and immediately squatted down again, trying to dig out the medicinal herb she needed.
At this time, Zi Tong turned around and continued walking into the deep valley.
Seeing her leaving again, Zi Lian was so angry that she stood up and put the herbs she dug out into the medicine basket, "You..."
She only said the word "you" and felt a sudden tingling pain on her finger. Zi Lian turned around and saw a thin red snake on her palm that had bitten her palm at some point.
This kind of snake is not unfamiliar to her. It is called the five-step red flower snake, which is extremely venomous.
Although she is also a doctor and knows how to cure poisoning, these are all theoretical knowledge. How can a spoiled young lady have such a calm mind? How can she think of these things when things happen to her.
"Help, help me..."
Shaking her hands hard against the poisonous snake, she screamed and roared, but she didn't expect that the more she struggled, the faster the poison would dissipate. Soon, she fell to the ground twitching, with blood oozing from her mouth and nose.
In the distance, when an adult from the Zi clan heard the sound and came over, Zi Lian was already lying on the ground, lifeless, and his entire palm to his face was covered in blue and purple.
If the snake is bitten by Chinese medicine immediately after being bitten, there is still a glimmer of hope. The more you struggle, the faster the poison will enter the bloodstream, and the result will be death.
The news spread quickly, and Zi Lian's father, the sect master Zi Changqing, rushed over and felt heartbroken when he saw his dead daughter.
"Who did this?"
How could his daughter be bitten by a snake so accidentally because she had grown up in the Medical Valley? Zi Changqing did not believe that this was an accident.
All around, everyone looked at me and me at you, but no one said anything.
In their opinion, it is normal for snakes and insects to appear in the medicine valley. If your daughter is bitten, she can only blame her for being careless and she deserves it. It is none of anyone else's business.
"Brother, there are unforeseen circumstances today. Zi Lian is still young after all, and there are many poisonous insects in the grains. This kind of thing is not new!" Zi Changyu, who had just lost his daughter, said calmly, "You... express your condolences, and by the way,
Okay, everyone has dispersed, go ahead and do what you have to do, you medicine collectors, be careful, if you are bitten by a snake, you will be unlucky!"
The crowd immediately dispersed, leaving only Zi Changqing, a few of his cronies, and Zi Lian's body on the ground covered in black and blue.
At this time, Zi Tong had already entered the depths of the Medicine Valley.
That little snake is of course her masterpiece.
When Zi Lian threw the medicine hoe at her, she happened to see the little snake not far in front of her, so she caught it and threw it into Zi Lian's medicine basket.
Of course, even if there wasn't that little snake, she could just find a poisonous weed here and find a way to kill Zi Lian, but she just saw it and used it appropriately.
Soon, Zi Tong found the herbs she needed, dug them out, put them in her medicine basket and carried them back to the small courtyard.
At this time, it was already dusk. She came all the way back, walked into her small courtyard, opened the door, and saw a food box on the table.
In the food box, the rough food was already cold.
Who would respect a being like her? It was good enough for these servants to bring her a bite of food, but they would not care whether it tasted good or not, whether it was hot or cold.
