After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 63, Episode 0065: The whole village almost had to eat at a feast.
Leng Xingran is not a god, nor does she have a system in her mind. She certainly couldn't find out so many things in a day or two.

Last time, someone tried to harm Lin Yuexi's family. After interrogating them and finding that Zhao Yishu was involved, Leng Xingran, Liu Huai, and Captain Xu, who was hiding in the shadows, began to investigate Zhao Yishu.

They would not allow any risk to exist around Lin Yuexi.

Moreover, Zhao Yishu is a black market boss.

Do you think anyone can become the head of the black market in this day and age?

Which one of them doesn't have a powerful backer or influential connections?!

Given that such a person has already shown hostility towards Lin Yuexi, it is only natural that they need to be thoroughly investigated; if the clues are wrong, it is not impossible for them to disappear without a trace.

Lin Yuexi was initially puzzled, but then she felt relieved.

What's puzzling is that the real Zhao Yishu is completely different from the one she saw in the book. Putting aside his character, he's not as indiscriminate in matters of the heart as portrayed in the book. He's not only devoted but also somewhat love-struck, and it seems he and Wang Qin have no secret affair.

But when she thought about what Tongzi had told her—that the world came to life after she came into it, and that everyone was no longer bound by a predetermined storyline—she could understand it.

It seems that only the female protagonist is still following the plot of the book.

The group chatted and busied themselves, and soon a meal was ready.

After the meal, just as everyone was about to go to rest, Da Zhuang from Aunt Wu's family, with a bruised and purple face and clutching his stomach, struggled to move in.

"Dr. Liu, Dr. Liu, help me!"

The cries for help were weak and feeble.

The person collapsed just past the gate, emitting an indescribable stench.

Liu Huai rushed over to check, and after taking Li Dazhuang's pulse, he immediately took out silver needles to treat him.

Leng Xingran and the others also gathered around, but fearing they might interfere with Liu Huai's rescue efforts, they didn't dare get too close and watched nervously, holding their breath.

While administering acupuncture, Liu Huai hurriedly said, "He has ingested rat poison. You guys go quickly to Li Sanmao's house and see if anyone else has been poisoned as well."

"Hey."

The three of them quickly went out and ran towards Li Sanmao's house.

Their house was very close to Aunt Wu's house, and luckily they were close enough that the three of them rushed to Aunt Wu's house in less than a minute and found people lying all over the ground.

All eleven members of Aunt Wu's family collapsed, foaming at the mouth.

But they were completely at a loss about the poisoning; for a moment, the three of them stood at the door, not knowing what to do.

Xu Zhichuan calmed down first and made a methodical arrangement: "Xingran, you go and inform the captain and the others. Aze, go to the clinic and call Dr. Gao. I'll go home and call Uncle Liu."

The two dazed people instinctively did as he said. Xu Zhichuan didn't dare to touch the people inside the house and quickly went to call Liu Huai.

Liu Huai had long suspected that Li Dazhuang wasn't the only one poisoned, otherwise Li Dazhuang wouldn't have come to their house for help. So he wasn't surprised to see Xu Zhichuan running back with a pale face. He took the needles off Li Dazhuang and quickly went outside.

"Xiaoyan, take good care of Xibao. Zhichuan, carry Li Dazhuang on your back and follow. Xibao, stay at home and don't go out."

Li Daban had already been given acupuncture to induce vomiting by Liu Huai, and his whole body reeked of a suffocating stench, the kind that no one could survive within two meters. Xu Zhichuan almost fainted on the spot when he approached, and he held his breath, hoisted Li Daban onto his back, and ran away.

This time, Lin Yuexi didn't impulsively run off to join the fun; protecting herself was already a way of helping.

After a busy period when almost the entire village went out, Leng Xingran and the others returned around 11 p.m., smelling of stench and exhausted.

"Where's Uncle Liu?" Lin Yuexi looked behind them. Zhang Ze, who had just come in, was already closing the gate, but Liu Huai was still nowhere to be seen.

Xu Zhichuan slumped into a chair, half-lying down, and waved his hand weakly. "Four people were seriously poisoned, and we were afraid they wouldn't make it halfway, so Uncle Liu went with them to the county hospital."

Ren Yan brought out a tray with three large bowls on it. She placed the bowls on the table and called to the three of them, "Come and eat your noodles. I'll go get you some big meat buns."

The three of them were so hungry that their stomachs were practically sticking to their backs. They didn't care about the smell on their bodies. They sat down, each with a bowl, and started slurping.

In the short time it took Ren Yan to turn around and go to the kitchen to get a basket of steamed buns, there wasn't even any soup left in the three large bowls.

Having finally amassed some knowledge, Zhang Ze, who couldn't hold back his words, pouted and spoke first: "You'd never guess why Aunt Wu's whole family went bankrupt today."

Ren Yan put down the steamed bun and asked curiously, "I went over and took a look. I heard that Grandma Wu poisoned it."

Grandma Wu and Li Sanmao's family have no relation whatsoever. If you have to say they are related, they are neighbors living in the same row.

Lin Yuexi was also taken aback when she heard that Grandma Wu had poisoned the body. "I've never heard of any feud between the two families."

On the contrary, their relationship was quite good. Grandma Wu's daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law were both gentle-natured, and Grandma Wu often helped their family fight with others.

Zhang Ze said speechlessly, "If Grandma Wu had intended to poison someone, we could talk about whether they had a grudge or not. But seriously, it's really Grandma Wu's family who are unlucky today."

"Ok?"

"Expand and tell me."

She had a feeling this gossip was going to be quite bizarre.

Zhang Ze took a steamed bun and ate it while saying, "Grandma Wu bought a packet of rat poison a few years ago. She used a little bit at the time, and then repackaged the rest and hid it. But Grandma Wu is old and has a bad memory, so she forgot where she hid it."

The old lady was actually quite safety-conscious. Fearing that the rat poison might be easily accessible to the children if placed in a low spot, she hid it on a beam in the storage room.

"It's been safe for many years, and the rat poison has never been used. The old lady has gradually forgotten that there was rat poison in the house."

"I don't know how that packet of rat poison fell down the day before yesterday. Coincidentally, some of Grandma Wu's children were playing hide-and-seek at home. Her five-year-old grandson was hiding in the storage room and found the packet of rat poison."

"The child had just picked up the medicine when he heard footsteps at the door, so he quickly threw the medicine packet away and hid."

"In that throw, the medicine ended up in the haystack where the chickens were fed."

The next day, Grandma Wu's family chopped up the pile of grass and fed it to the chickens.

And then, there were only three chickens in total, and they all went down.

“In the countryside, people are reluctant to throw anything away, let alone chickens. Even if a chicken looks like it died of disease, they think that as long as the internal organs are thrown away, it will be fine.”

"When Aunt Wu learned that Grandma Wu's family had lost all three chickens, and considering that her family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and that Grandma Wu's chickens had died of disease and were being sold cheaply, Aunt Wu went and bought one."

As a result, the whole family collapsed.

"What about Grandma Wu's family? Didn't they eat?"

"Grandma Wu didn't eat the two chickens. Her seventh son is getting married in two days, and Grandma Wu plans to save those two chickens for the wedding banquet."

Lin Yuexi and Ren Yan both gasped in shock. Good heavens, the whole village almost had to suffer a famine!

Xu Zhichuan continued, "It's hard to say whether it's fortunate or unfortunate. It scared Grandma Wu and her whole family half to death. They almost knelt down before the brigade leader and the old Party Secretary."

Of course they were terrified! To put it mildly, it was the lives of more than a dozen members of Aunt Wu's family; to put it more seriously, the entire village was on the verge of death in the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death!
