Chapter 116: Poisoned

to know about my past. I hope you tell me everything, especially anything about me and Zongyu.Fang Mingxia, seeing this, her expression rarely became serious."You really can't remember anything""Back...Fang Jinshi didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

He held up a big thumb and said, "That's impressive."

Upon hearing her praise him, Zongyu couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Do you really think I'm amazing"

Fang Jinshu was taken aback. She had just thought that this person wasn't the type to brag, how come he was now putting on a fawning look

But she still nodded respectfully.

"Of course, you're the man who can kill a wild boar with one punch. You're the most incredible person I've ever met."

She looked at the man, who suddenly smiled shyly after hearing her words. The fierce and stern look he had before was gone.

This guy, he seemed in a bad mood just now, but now it seems like he's okay again

A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, especially those who don't talk much.

" Zongyu, let's look for some more over there. I've picked all the usable herbs from here."

Zong Yu nodded and took Fang Jinxiu's hand, leading her carefully forward.

Fang Jinshi looked at the forest in front of her, and said with some regret, "The roasted rabbit meat last time was really delicious."

No matter how it's prepared, dried meat can never be as delicious as fresh meat.

She turned her head to glance at Zong Yu, "If you really encounter a ferocious beast, are you confident you can kill it"

Zong Yu nodded, without the slightest hesitation.

"It's like eating fresh meat! If another wild boar appeared, that would be great. This time we won't sell it; we can keep it for ourselves."

Think about braised pork belly, braised pork ribs, braised pig's trotters, anyway, anything from a pig can be braised and it's delicious.

Fang Jinshu only thought about it casually, feeling that her saliva was about to flow down.

In fact, her meals these past few days were more plentiful than those of any other household in the village, but without comparison, there was no harm.

For over two decades, she had lived a carefree life, indulging in the finer things and never worrying about money.

Nowadays, things are vastly different from the past. Fang Jinshu could bear many things, but this hunger gnawing at her was almost unbearable.

Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is, she and Zongyu walked for a long time, and they didn't see any trace of prey, let alone wild boar.

She had no choice but to continue looking for her herbs.

Suddenly, a scream came from the water source, followed by a commotion and panic.

Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu looked at each other, then hurried back.

She wondered, could it be that the beast had broken through their perimeter and come straight inside to attack the villagers

Zongyu had promised Wang, the village head, to protect the villagers' safety, so he rushed into the crowd to ask questions.

"What's wrong"

Fang Jinxiu followed closely behind, and the villagers parted to make way for the two of them.

She saw the young man called Gouzi lying on the ground, clutching his leg and howling in pain. The others didn't look like they had been attacked by a beast.

A young man stepped forward and replied, "Second Brother Zong, the dog just moved stones and was bitten by a snake."

Hearing this, Zong Yu and Fang Jinshu both changed color. Zong Yu didn't say a word and squatted down, tearing open the dog's pants leg.

The back of the knee was indeed swollen, with a large lump. The wound itself was red and discolored.

Fang Jinshu only needed one glance to know there was another hard lump there. This was a sign of being poisoned.

Having grown up in the mountains, Zong Yu was well acquainted with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. At a glance, he could tell that it was a venomous snake that had bitten the dog, and its venom was potent. His brows furrowed tightly.

"I'm poisoned."

The dog, upon realizing it had been bitten by a snake, let out even more agonizing howls.

"Father, Mother, I'm sorry, children. I can't go back, I'm going to die here in the mountains!"

After he was done crying, he pointed at Zong Yu and scolded him angrily, "Didn't you repeatedly say that as long as we followed your lead on the mountain, we would be safe"

"I'm poisoned to death now! Come up with a solution!"

Zong Yu's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, she spoke frankly, "If it were an ordinary venomous snake, I could find herbs to antidote it for you."

"The venom of the snake that bit you is very potent. I've never encountered it before, so I don't know how to treat it."

"Why don't I take you down the mountain to town to find a doctor"

Upon hearing this, Gǒuzi's resentment towards Zongyù deepened. He was filled with anger at the insults hurled his way.

"Is that all you've got, Zongyu You have the nerve to boast to Village Chief Wang and tell us you can keep us safe"

"If I die, it's your fault!"

"If you don't have the ability, don't be arrogant! Do you want to kill all of us in the village"

Fang Jinshu's eyes turned cold. She had known these people wouldn't remember Zong Yu's good deeds, but she hadn't expected them to throw any dirty water on him.

"If you want the snake venom to take effect faster, just cry. Better yet, scream even louder."

"I guarantee that before an hour passes, you'll be seeing the King of Hell before a doctor in town."a cautious person, could she possibly harm Yuan Bao"Hearing this, Fang Jinshi lowered her head somewhat guiltily.Son, mother is sorry.Don't worry, Mother will save you sooner or later."Well, since it'...
