Chapter 82 Sudden accident
Danzhou, Fan Prefecture.
The weather was clear and cloudless that day, and the breeze blowing on people's bodies felt particularly comfortable.
Fan Xian, as before, sat idly on a rattan chair in the backyard and began to tell stories to the maids.
However, what is being told this time is not a ghost story.
It is a novel about love.
The maids in the mansion were all around thirteen or fourteen years old. Apart from work, they had no spare time to talk about love.
Therefore, I really like the stories told by Fan Xian.
Each of them was immersed in the story and began to fantasize about becoming the heroine.
Fan Xian looked at the maids, all of whom had their eyes wide open and looked very interested, and continued talking.
After a while.
After Fan Xian finished telling a touching love story, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the story ends here. Is there anything else you want to hear?"
The maids were still not satisfied and began to express their opinions.
"Master, tell me another love story. I love it."
Fan Xian smiled and said, "You can't listen to love stories for too long. You always have to change the taste."
Another maid said excitedly: "Then tell a ghost story. The scarier the better."
Fan Xian asked, "Still telling ghost stories?"
"The last time I told you about Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, you were almost scared to tears. If I tell you about it again, you will not be able to sleep at night."
Finally, the maid said, "Master, please continue talking about that heavenly gossip. I always feel that Ah Zhu's death is too pitiful. Did she get resurrected later?"
Resurrection, my love?
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "Azhu is dead, she definitely cannot be resurrected. If she were to be resurrected, it would truly be a ghost story."
The maids all said in unison: "Master, what story are you telling?"
Fan Xian pondered for a moment, stroking his chin repeatedly, and soon thought of something. He nodded and said, "Got it!"
"Today I will tell you a story called 'Jin Ping Mei'."
The maids asked excitedly, "Master, what type of story is this time?"
Fan Xian chuckled and said, "There are many types, including action, romance, suspense, thriller, etc. I guarantee you will like it very much after listening to it."
"Okay, okay, please tell me, young master." The maids nodded in unison.
Just as Fan Xian was about to speak, a servant from the mansion walked over quickly.
"Master, it's time to eat."
When they heard the word "dinner", the maids, who originally had happy faces, all left dejectedly.
Fan Xian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so depressed. After dinner, take some time and I will continue to tell you this story."
When the maids heard this, they smiled and left quickly.
Fan Xian shrugged boredly and walked towards the front yard.
Shortly after.
After lunch, Fan Xian stretched a few times and walked towards the backyard.
Anyway, he had nothing else to do every day except practicing martial arts outside. The only thing he had to do was tell stories to the maids, otherwise he would be bored to death.
By the way, we also have to be prepared for assassinations from Kyoto at all times.
Otherwise, I would really be suffocated living in Danzhou for such a long time.
When Fan Xian arrived at the backyard, he saw several maids already waiting there.
"Why do you eat so fast?"
When the maids saw Fan Xian, they all greeted him with smiles and walked over to him.
"Master, we want to hear your story."
"Yes, finish listening as soon as possible, we will be busy later."
Fan Xian nodded and said, "Okay, you guys sit down first, I'll start now." "It was a long time ago..."
Before Fan Xian could finish his words, he heard a thump. A maidservant in front of him did not sit firmly and fell to the ground.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Why, did you drink at noon?"
"How much alcohol do you have to drink to get drunk?"
The maid who fell to the ground stroked her forehead and said, "I...I didn't drink."
"Why is my body not listening to me? I feel dizzy."
At this moment, several other maids also began to stagger and fell to the ground one after another.
Ok? ? ?
After seeing this scene, Fan Xian originally thought that they were joking, but he discovered that everyone's faces began to turn pale, which was an obvious sign of poisoning.
Fan Xian bent down and squatted, and began to examine several maids.
Sure enough, they were poisoned.
Fortunately, it is not a serious poison. It only makes people feel weak and powerless.
Fan Xian stood up and walked to the stone table behind him, took out a packet of medicine powder from his pocket, poured it directly into the teapot, and shook it casually a few times.
Then he quickly walked over to the maids who had fallen to the ground and fed them the drink.
After a moment, Fan Xian asked, "How is it?"
"You still don't have the strength?"
The maids stood up from the ground and shook their heads, saying, "It's okay. I feel strong again now."
"Yes, Master. What was that you just fed us? It was amazing."
Fan Xian nodded. The poison they were infected with just now was exactly as he had guessed.
But how did they get poisoned?
Moreover, they were just maids, why would others poison them?
and many more! ! !
Could it be...
Fan Xian ran and headed straight for the front hall.
The maids who had just recovered, seeing Fan Xian's anxious look, knew that something big might have happened, and they all chased after him.
However, when Fan Xian rushed to the front yard, he found that all the servants and maids in the mansion had fallen weakly to the ground.
The symptoms of these people were all the same as before, with pale faces and sweating.
Fan Xian ignored these people for the time being, but ran quickly to the main hall and saw an old woman lying on the dining table.
"grandmother!"
Fan Xian was shocked when he saw the old woman. He quickly rushed to her and began to examine her carefully.
Fortunately, the poison he was infected with is the same and there is no serious harm to his body for the time being.
"Grandma, please wait a moment. I will detoxify you right away."
Fan Xian picked up the teacup next to him, poured some powder into it, then mixed it with tea and stirred it, and finally fed it to the old woman.
After a while.
Fan Xian asked, "Grandma, how do you feel?"
The old woman took a few deep breaths, then nodded and said, "It's fine now."
Fan Xian felt relieved when he heard the old woman say that everything was fine.
"Grandma, please wait here. I will go and rescue the others in the mansion."
Soon, Fan Xian ran out of the main hall.
As for the old woman, she looked at Fan Xian leaving, and a sneer appeared on her face, which was full of age.
Here, as soon as Fan Xian arrived in the yard, the maids who had been treated by him earlier came over.
When he saw everyone, he immediately waved his hand and said:
"Come here quickly, I have something to talk to you about!"
