It's night, everything is quiet.

The sleeping men suddenly sat up from the bed and walked out step by step as if guided by something.

All the men closed their eyes, holding tools in their hands, and gathered steadily step by step to the mudslide in the pipeline outside the village, as if they were sleepwalking.

When they reached the mudslide, the men picked up tools and began clearing the road.

The men worked tirelessly all night long.

Gradually, the pipeline destroyed by the mudslide was repaired, as if such a natural disaster had never happened.

At the same time, Wen Qianqian in the room made hand gestures and murmured silently.

"Back!"

The men were guided again and returned home and lay down to rest.

The women slept soundly the entire night, without noticing that their husbands had left their sides.

"Giggle-"

A cock crowed and dawn broke.

The dark clouds that had been lingering in the sky dissipated.

Today is destined to be a sunny day.

Zhang San at the entrance of the village was awakened by the crowing of roosters.

He rubbed his eyes, but felt extremely sore all over.

"hiss--"

"what happened?"

The daughter-in-law next to him opened her eyes and saw her husband's face full of pain.

"Nothing, I just feel... so tired."

"That's what happens when you get older. Get some extra sleep today before going back to work."

"How can we get any work done? The government hasn't sent anyone to repair the road yet. We can't get out at all."

As we were chatting, we heard a noisy sound outside.

"Have you heard? The official road has been repaired!"

"I went to see it, and the authorities acted very quickly, repairing the pipeline overnight."

"Great, now we can go to town to buy some. We have just run out of meat at home."

"You go ahead. I'll take a rest at home for a day. I don't know why, but I feel particularly tired today. It's like I've been working on the farm all night."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I am also sore all over."

"It may be caused by the rainy days in recent days."

At this time, the instigator dozed off and fell asleep due to exhaustion.

The small body curled up in Qu's arms like a little snowball, and arched slightly.

Qu was awakened by the noise and was about to sit up when the door was suddenly pushed open.

She was startled and subconsciously looked towards the door.

At the same time, Wen Zehai at the door also looked at Qu.

The moment their eyes met, Wen Zehai suddenly cried out "Ah——" in horror, took three steps back, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Qu was a little confused.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Zehai suddenly came back to his senses from the shock. He stammered and it took him a long time to ask a complete sentence.

"Jinniang, are you... okay?"

"I'm fine. I don't know why, but I slept much better last night than usual. I even forgot to feed Qianqian. Fortunately, the child didn't make any noise."

Wen Zehai felt extremely complicated.

It shouldn’t be like this! It shouldn’t be like this!

After drinking the medicine, Qu should have died suddenly today!

Moreover, she was not a ghost but a living person. Her chest rose and fell as she spoke, and she was obviously breathing.

He deliberately slept far away last night just because he didn't want to sleep in the same room with a dead person.

But I didn't expect that Qu was actually fine!

"You..." He couldn't help but ask, "Did you drink the tonic yesterday?"

Qu was stunned, and her fingertips began to tremble.

Even someone as kind as she felt something was wrong at this moment.

Combined with Qianqian's inner thoughts, she really had to doubt the truthfulness of what she said.

She swallowed hard and asked calmly, "Why do you ask this?"

"No..." Wen Zehai tried to find an excuse to avoid being exposed: "I noticed that you didn't look very well today. Answer me, how did you feel after drinking the tonic?"

"The tonic..." Qu paused before answering, "I didn't drink it."

Wen Zehai raised his eyelids.

"I made the medicine for you myself, why don't you drink it?"

Qu stared into Wen Zehai's eyes and said, "I was going to drink it, but my cousin said that her family was in financial difficulty and couldn't afford to buy tonic medicine, so she drank it herself."

"What did you say!?"

Wen Zehai suddenly raised his volume.

"You let Su Yin drink the medicine?"

While carefully observing Wen Zehai's expression, Qu said, "Yes, what's wrong? She just gave birth to a child, so it won't do her any harm if she drinks it. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Wen Zehai could only lie with his eyes open.

"No, I didn't have a big reaction. I just thought that it was the medicine I made for you, and I didn't want anyone else to drink it."

"She is your cousin, not someone else."

"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go see the old lady."

Wen Zehai was thinking about Han Suyin and didn't notice the inquiry in Qu's eyes at all.

After closing the door, he ran towards Han's house like crazy.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Han half-lying on the couch, with the couch and the floor covered with the blood she had vomited.

Wen Miaoxue next to her was crying loudly on the bed, making so much noise that it gave her a headache.

"Su Yin!"

Seeing this scene, Wen Zehai rushed to Han and lifted her shoulders.

"Did you drink the medicine I gave to Qu? Say something..."

Han slept unusually soundly last night. As soon as he woke up this morning, he started vomiting blood. Now he is breathing out more than he is breathing in.

But even at this point, she still felt an unwilling jealousy.

She used her last bit of strength to angrily say: "Da Hai! Didn't you say that you only have me in your heart? Why did you only make medicine for Qu? That medicine is so precious, I vomited blood, and you still come to question me about this? Yes! I just stole her tonic, you kill me!"

Wen Zehai was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"Su Yin! You are confused!"

"That medicine is poisonous! Mother and I had already planned to use that medicine to kill all of the Qu family. How could you, how could you steal her medicine?!"

Boom——

Han seemed to be struck by lightning, and his eyes were wide open.

So... the tonic she snatched was actually the poison that would send Qu to her death? !

So, she vomited blood because she drank that bowl of medicine?

So, now she is...going to die?

"Do not!!!"

Han regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

She spat a mouthful of blood on Wen Zehai's face and said with a weak breath, "Dahai, I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I haven't seen our Miaoxue become the queen mother yet. I don't want to die! Save me, save me..."

Wen Zehai was as anxious as a headless fly.

He crossed the mudslide to buy medicine without telling anyone, with the intention of killing Qu, so he only bought poison and no antidote.

I don’t know if it will be too late if I go out and cross mountains and rivers to buy medicine now.

If he had known this earlier, he should have told Han about this plan!

He was just afraid that Han would be exposed, so he simply hid it from her.

Who would have thought that this would backfire and make Han eat the poison!

"The official road is open! The official road is open!"

The villagers outside were shouting with joy.

Wen Zehai, whose legs were weak from self-blame and annoyance, suddenly had his eyes light up.

The official road... is open?!

His Su Yin is saved!
