When it came to business, Xiu frowned a little.
He stole a glance at Lin Mengya with a look of embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Or do you think it's difficult? It doesn't matter. Anyway, I know it can't be rushed. If you think it's difficult, let's talk about it later. "
Lin Mengya said considerately. Xiu shook her head desperately, as if she was afraid that Lin Mengya would misunderstand her.
"It's not like that. In fact, I just heard it from my uncle and the others. Although opium is harmful in your eyes, it's also a medicine that can save lives in my country. I hope you don't hate us. "
Lin Mengya couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiu finish her words carefully.
Although she was a postgraduate in modern medicine, she was taught by Baili Rui, the poison master, after she came here.
Speaking of which, she had dealt with many poisons that were more poisonous than opium.
It must be because Xiu had heard some rumors outside that she felt that Lin Mengya would hate her because of Poppy.
What a naive girl. Lin Mengya felt that it was rare and precious.
"You're right. Opium is harmless. If it's used well, it can relieve pain and stop diarrhea. But for some people, if it's used to harm people, the opium will become poison. In fact, the most terrible thing is not the opium itself, but the human heart, right? "
Lin Mengya's gentle words made Xiu feel that she had met a bosom friend in an instant.
She nodded hurriedly, held Lin Mengya's hand, and started to talk.
"You're right, sister. In my hometown, opium is just a kind of medicine. But when I started to travel to different countries with my uncle in the caravan, there were many people who insulted my uncle and me. I was very angry at that time, thinking that we were just foreigners. Why did they say such mean things to us? But later, I found out that many of them had lost their families because of the opium poppy. Although poppies are produced in many countries, only the Nation of Lieyun is allowed to sell them legally. That's why they hate us. But, Elder Sister, are we really in the wrong? "
Xiu's words revealed her grievances and confusion.
Lin Mengya was also slightly stunned and did not know how to answer.
Indeed, as Xiu had said, poppy and all kinds of poisons were good. They were not born to harm people.
However, later on, people discovered their medicinal properties. That was why there were all sorts of disputes later on.
Lin Mengya stroked Xiu's hair. She could only try her best to dispel Xiu's doubts with her own understanding.
"In this world, the most terrifying thing is not poison, but the human heart. However, everyone had their own thoughts. We can't control other people's thoughts. The only thing we can do is to try our best to have a clear conscience. "
Xiu looked at Lin Mengya, not fully understanding, and finally nodded gently.
Although she did not quite understand what Elder Sister Princess was trying to say, she knew that Elder Sister Princess was not wrong.
In his heart, he was no longer so unhappy.
He held Lin Mengya's hand and told her about what he had seen and heard in the Nation of Lintian these days.
"Oh yes, Elder Sister, I saw Sumei on the street a few days ago. However, she didn't look very well. She looked a little pale as if she had been injured. "
Xiu said casually, but it caught Lin Mengya's attention.
Injured? It couldn't be.
Hadn't Sumei met up with her elder sister? Since those people were her backers, logically speaking, they should not make things difficult for her.
"Did you see wrongly? Are you sure it was her? "
Xiu opened her eyes wide and tried hard to recall her memory. Finally, she said with certainty,
"I can't be wrong. It must be her. I wasn't sure if she was injured or not. On time, some of the bloodthirsty venomous bugs in my body became restless when I saw her. Although the geranium on a woman's body is also a kind of blood, my poisonous insects would never be agitated because of it. So I think she must have been injured. Moreover, she looked pale. I think she must have been seriously injured. But the strange thing is that her movement was not affected at all. Don't you think it's strange? "
Xiu was quick-witted, so she saw carefully.
At this moment, Lin Mengya was lost in thought.
Although Sumei was not the leader of that group of people, at least she could be considered as one of their family members.
Now, she had gone over to seek refuge in a safe and sound manner, but she had suffered quite a serious injury. Moreover, her movement was not affected at all.
This was a little strange.
"Are you sure it's the smell of blood that's stirring up your venomous bugs?"
Xiu had at least 30 kinds of poisonous insects and poisons with her.
Of course, she naturally had her own ways to prevent herself from being harmed.
Among them, there were three to five kinds of insects that liked to eat fresh blood.
Therefore, since Xiu said that the poisonous insects had sensed it, it should be true.
"Well, I'm sure. Later on, I had to feed them a few drops of my blood to calm them down. "
Lin Mengya did not doubt Xiu's words at all.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya felt that this might be an important clue.
"Let's ask someone else about this. I have a feeling that Sumei is not simple. "
Fortunately, Long Tianhao and the others were in the reception room.
In a few words, Xiu told the other two what she had seen and heard.
Instantly, the four of them fell into silence.
"I'm thinking, is it possible that Sumei is not injured at all? Does the blood on her body belong to someone else? "
Lin Mengya rubbed her forehead and said faintly.
This was the answer that they had deduced so far, and it was the most suitable for the situation.
Looking at Lin Mengya, Long Tianhao nodded slightly and said, "It's possible.
"That's possible, but according to Xiu, the blood must be fresh in order to stir up the venomous bugs. If it's just a little bit, I'm afraid that even the poisonous insects can't sense it. Xiu, have you ever smelled any strong smell of blood on her? "
Xiu thought for a while and then shook her head gently.
She was also sensitive to the smell of blood. Although her nose was not as sensitive as Lin Mengya's, her sense of smell was stronger than that of ordinary people.
However, when the blood was thick to a certain extent, the stench could not be covered up no matter how hard one tried.
This did not seem to make sense.
Just now they had a little clue, but now it was broken again.
The four of them started to rack their brains. Sitting there, Lin Mengya inadvertently saw the window and the bronze mirror used for decoration.
Suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind.
"Xiu, when you saw Sumei, did she have fair skin, but her mental state was not very good?"
Being suddenly asked by Lin Mengya by the hand, Xiu thought about it carefully and then answered in surprise.
"Yes, that's it! I still remember that she wore a blood-red robe that day. Moreover, her face was so pale that she didn't look like a normal person! "
Perhaps it was as she had guessed.
"Cousin, what on earth did you think of?"
Seeing Lin Mengya's face darkening, Zuo Qiuyu couldn't help asking.
But Lin Mengya's expression was a little strange. She couldn't bear to see it, but more than that, she felt disgusted.
"If I'm not wrong. They caught those girls not only to train them and sell them. More likely, they had other cruel uses. For example, using the blood of young girls to maintain the beauty of women. "
Hearing this, not only Xiu, but also Zuo Qiuyu and Long Tianyu felt a chill on their heads.
"No … no way. Moreover, using human blood to maintain eternal youth should be just a delusion. "
Zuo Qiuyu said in a weak tone. They had only heard of such crooked things in stories.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya had made such a guess.
"The effect of human blood is actually not as simple as we think. Just like what Xiu said, if the blood of young girls used to bathe in is produced from the bodies of young girls who have eaten good medicinal herbs over the years. In that case, it is very likely that most of the stench will be suppressed. However, the poisonous insects in Xiu's body are not affected by these smells. That's why they are agitated. "
On a deeper level, after the medicinal herbs were digested and transformed by the human body, it was very likely that the medicinal herbs would be more delicate and effective than if they were simply taken.
In modern times, it was said that people used medicinal herbs to feed chickens and pigs. It was the same principle.
But now, it was used by people. However, it made people shudder with fear.
"Sumei is just a pawn. There's no need to sacrifice so much, is there? "
Zuo Qiuyu felt that this method was so horrifying that it made his hair stand on end.
However, he still felt that a pawn like Sumei would not receive such treatment.
"Don't forget that Sumei wants to be Long Tianyu's woman the most. Moreover, she is proud of her beauty. She has been by our side for so long. I dare say that the next time we meet, she will definitely surprise us. Moreover, if she is using it to test whether this method is effective or not. "
Lin Mengya's eyes were burning, which inexplicably made people feel that her guess was not far from the truth.
This method had been verified by someone.
She still remembered that there was a noblewoman named Bloody Mary who used the blood of young girls to wash away her aging.
It was said that she was still as beautiful as a young girl when she was in her fifties or sixties.
Although there must be some elements of fiction in the story. However, such bloody and strange things must have happened many times since ancient times.
If this was the case, the people behind Sumei must be planning a bigger conspiracy.
