Ren Xiang continued to tell me about his experience with Zhang Duo…
Zhang Duo, at that time, was like a mermaid creature, his face covered in green-brown fish scales. When he saw Ren Xiang, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He only called out my name and four words, "Don't tell anyone."
Ren Xiang rolled up his shirt sleeve, revealing a scratch with an obvious presence of corpse poison.
"This was an accidental scratch from him—it's corpse poison. I immediately found some glutinous rice and yellow wine. Now, most of it has been drawn out, and it should heal in a couple of days."
He went on to say that after Zhang Duo scratched him, he regained some lucidity and hid himself in a corner, not wanting to be seen anymore.
Zhang Duo is now under the control of the relevant department.
Fortunately…
Because Zhang Duo had connections with both Miao Fengwu, Miao Lexian, and me, the department did not throw him into a dungeon.
