Antidote

After two days, Jiang Lin realized that his left hand was a little red. He panicked a little. He began to wear long clothes and pants in the summer. Slowly, he realized that not only his left hand, but the left side of his face also began to turn red.

In the past few days, he felt weak all over and had no energy. Originally, he planned to ask Yu Xiaolian out to visit that grass ghost woman's tomb again. Perhaps there was an antidote inside, but after thinking about it, he still didn't take action.

He was already in this state. He asked for it. It was not worth it to lose Yu Xiaolian's life because of him.

"It's my fault that you became like this. After all, I was the one who picked up that bottle from the tomb."

Yu Xiaolian recalled that when the book introduced her biological father when he was finding his daughter, he had a half-immortal and half-ghost witch by his side.

Moreover, in order to complement the witch's beauty and high-profile appearance, he specially wrote a limerick.

A red sleeve covered half of her face. Half of her face was red, and the other half was like a fairy. Her side profile had already descended to the mortal world. She only covered it to prevent the world from being in chaos.

The poison in Jiang Lin's body was similar to that of the witch. It was a venomous worm called Beauty's Face.

However, the witch had been nourishing poison with her blood since she was young and had a special physique. Even if she had poisonous Gu worms, it would not affect her life. Instead, the poison in her blood had reached a certain balance with the poisonous Gu worms.

However, Jiang Lin was clearly different. He was just an ordinary person and did not have the special characteristics of the Witch race's bloodline. If the poisonous worm continued to eat his body, he would probably not live long.

Yu Xiaolian pondered for a long time. It turned out that she didn't remember Jiang Lin in the book because Jiang Lin was just cannon fodder. He was even a larger cannon fodder than her.

But now that she had replaced the original owner, she had to change the trajectory of her and the others' fates to live to the end.

After careful consideration, Yu Xiaolian decided to save Jiang Lin.

Even if her identity as a descendant of the Witch race was exposed, she had to save Jiang Lin.

As long as Jiang Lin survived, Yu Changhe might not have to die, and neither would she.

Jiang Lin would be the beginning of her change.

He was also a test subject!

At this moment, Jiang Lin was extremely defeated. He said self-deprecatingly, "It has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself. I asked for it."

"My father will be back soon. Leave!"

Yu Xiaolian nodded. "I have to go back. Don't worry, I'll save you."

Jiang Lin's eyes lit up for a moment before he lowered his head again. "No need. Don't go to that tomb again. There might not be an antidote inside. If you get poisoned like me, it'll be over."

Yu Xiaolian patted Jiang Lin's shoulder. "Don't worry about it. I'll look for you tomorrow. Wait for me at home!"

…

When Yu Xiaolian returned home, Madam Sun had yet to return. Only Yu Changhe was at home. She told Yu Changhe that she was sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

Yu Changhe brought her a small pillow and let her sleep. After closing the door, he went out to weave baskets.

After Yu Xiaolian entered the space, the first thing she did was to find some flour. She cut her finger and used blood to make three small dough balls.

She didn't know if one was useful, so she prepared a few more.

She realized that not only was this body not afraid of the cold, but it was also not sensitive to pain. She could barely feel the pain of cutting her fingers.

In the book, Yu Xiaolian's blood could cure Gu poison. She wondered if it would work on the Longevity Gu worm.

Fortunately, other than half of Jiang Lin's body being blood-red, there were no other symptoms. This meant that the Longevity Gu worm had yet to enter the heart area. There should still be time.

After Yu Xiaolian finished making three dough balls, she went out to help Yu Changhe roll willow branches.

"Why did you sleep for such a short time?"

"It's too hot. I couldn't sleep!" Yu Xiaolian found a shady wall and sat down, casually stroking the willow branches.

In ancient times, she didn't even have gloves when she worked. If she continued to live like this, her hands would become rougher and rougher. It seemed like she had to think of a way to make her family rich earlier so that she wouldn't have to do such rough work.

"Changhe…" Hunter Jiang's voice came from outside the wooden fence.

Yu Xiaolian hurriedly helped Yu Changhe stand up.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Hunter Jiang held two hares in one hand and more than ten copper coins in the other. He said to Yu Changhe, "I've already said that I don't want the ox cart fee anymore. Why did you still ask the child to send it over? You're treating Big Brother like an outsider."

"Brother Jiang, money is money. It's only right for us to repay our debts. Now that I have money, how can I not repay it?"

"No, I don't want it." Hunter Jiang was about to pass the money through the fence, but Yu Changhe refused to accept it.

"Back when you were a bailiff, I was selling prey in the town's market. You gave me a lot of rent for the stall. You only sat on my ox cart a few times. How could I ask for money?

"I still have to go to the Zhao family opposite. I'll throw the money here. If you don't want it, Big Brother will be angry."

Hunter Jiang threw twelve copper coins through the wooden fence and shouted Zhao Kuo's name.

After shouting a few times, Zhao Kuo did not come out. His wife, Madam Feng, came out.

"Zhao Kuo wants two wild rabbits. I brought them over."

Madam Feng frowned. "He wanted these rabbits? This person didn't tell me!"

"What? Zhao Kuo isn't home? My Jiang Lin said that Zhao Kuo came back from the government office and asked for them when he passed by my house."

"Ah?" Madam Feng was surprised. "This person didn't come back either. Jiang Lin saw him? When did he come back?"

"Then do you still want the rabbits? If not, I'll bring them back!"

Madam Feng hurriedly said, "Yes, yes. Over the past few days, Zhao Kuo has been nagging about treating his brother to wine and meat. Since he ordered the wild rabbits, how can I not keep them? How much is it?"

When Yu Xiaolian heard that Zhao Kuo wasn't at home, her expression changed.

When she thought about how similar the symptoms of the Pan family's illness were to Jiang Lin's, she was shocked and ran towards Jiang Lin's house.

Yu Changhe called out to her from behind, but she didn't have time to explain anything.

Zhao Kuo did not go home. He must have told the Pan Family.

He ran all the way to the Jiang family's house and pushed open Jiang Lin's door. Jiang Lin thought that his father had entered and hurriedly covered his head with a blanket.

"It's me!"

Jiang Lin poked his head out. "Why are you here again?"

Yu Xiaolian took out a pill. "This is the antidote. Do you dare to take it?"

Jiang Lin was stunned. "The antidote?"

"It'll be too late if we don't eat now."

Perhaps Zhao Kuo had already brought the Pan Family to the Jiang Family.

"Too late for what?"

"Don't ask. If you believe me, you'll eat it."

"I believe you!" Jiang Lin took the pill and swallowed it.

'Now can you talk? What's going on?'

Yu Xiaolian roughly told Jiang Lin about the Pan family. "Now, Old Madam Pan might have the same illness as you, but for some reason, she can't be cured. Now that Zhao Kuo has seen that you have the same illness, they will definitely come and ask you how you got it."

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Lin asked.

"In another half an hour, the color on your body will fade. At that time, as long as you refuse to admit that you were poisoned, they will only think that Zhao Kuo lied to them for the Pan family's bounty.

"You can't tell anyone about that grass ghost woman's tomb. Also… no matter what conditions they offer you, you can't say that I have the antidote."
