Chapter 026 The herb is poisonous

The next morning, Lu Lian and Min Xiaoxin came to Niutou Mountain next to the town early. Following the direction mentioned by Sima Lanxuan, the two climbed all the way to the top of Niutou Mountain and finally found the ravine full of herbs.

Here is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is a towering ancient tree next to the ditch. There is a small stream under the ditch, flowing with clear streams.

"I'm so thirsty." As Min Xiaoxin said, she went to the side of the stream and stopped. She picked up a handful of clear stream water and drank it. As she drank it, she turned around and shouted to Lu Lian, "This water is so sweet!"

Lu Lian carried the medicine basket on his back, searched around, put the medicine basket on his back on the ground, and said, "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. It is indeed a fairyland that will grow herbs."

"Let's take the medicine." Min Xiaoxin wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, walked to Lu Lian, bent down and began to pick herbs.

While chatting, the two put the collected herbs into the medicine basket, and soon the medicine basket was full.

At this moment, there was only a slight "everything" sound from the bushes in front of them. Min Xiaoxin and Lu Lian suddenly became alert and looked at each other. Lu Lian put down the medicine basket and flew away in the direction of the bushes.

"It's okay..." Lu Lian looked carefully, turned her head and smiled, "It's just that the wild animals in the mountain have passed by. It's probably a hare or a wild fox or something. They have run away."

"I was shocked. I thought the Jiao clan was chasing me again..." Min Xiaoxin patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

"No... I won't be afraid even if I catch up with you. I will protect you." Lu Lian said with a smile, and then walked back to Min Xiaoxin and put the medicine basket on his back. "Let's go. Dr. Sima and the townspeople are still waiting for our herbs."

After saying that, the two walked down Niutou Mountain one after the other.

Just after the two left, a vague dark shadow appeared in the trees in the distance, staring at the backs of the two people leaving with extremely resentful eyes.

Min Xiaoxin and Lu Lian returned to Sima Lanxuan's clinic. From afar, they saw that the clinic was surrounded. Several patrolmen with military equipment stood straight at the door of the clinic. Their faces changed slightly and then walked into the clinic.

Entering the clinic, I saw an old man in a plain robe sitting in the lobby, talking with Sima Lanxuan.

" Dr. Sima! Let's take the medicine back!" Min Xiaoxin and Lu Lian walked into the lobby and put the medicine basket full of herbs on the table.

"You two are finally back!" Sima Lanxuan looked happy and quickly stepped forward and looked at the full medicine basket like a treasure. "In this way, the plague in this town is saved."

"I am the mayor of this town, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of this town." The old man stood up and bowed.

"You're welcome, mayor." Lu Lian said, "It's just that those who are quarantined also hope that the mayor can send someone to bring them to drink medicine."

"This is natural!" The mayor looked ashamed and rubbed his hands and said, "We are all fellow villagers in this town. If it were not for the emergency, I would not like to isolate them cruelly. Now that Dr. Sima has developed a prescription for the plague and the two of you have helped to pick back the herbs, I will naturally not isolate them again."

"I ordered someone to pick them up this morning. Now it is arranged in the deserted inn in the town. Later, I will get the herb and let them drink it immediately." The mayor said.

"In this case, let's distribute herbs to everyone first, and cure all the people suffering from the plague as soon as possible." As Sima Lanxuan spoke, he walked to the full medicine basket. The two apprentices came forward and began to wrap the herbs in brown paper, and then a bag was distributed to the townspeople waiting outside the clinic.

It was not until the evening that they had finished the herbs. When everyone got the herbs, they went home gratefully.

Min Xiaoxin finally came out of her leisure and felt sore and weak all over her body, but at the thought of being able to save thousands of people in the town, there was an indescribable feeling, as if it was worth it no matter how tired she was.

"Thank you very much." Sima Lanxuan sat aside, resting and thanking him.

"Dr. Sima, you're welcome. You are not afraid of such a serious plague here. You can still insist on staying here until the prescription for the plague is developed. You are worthy of our respect." Min Xiaoxin said.

"I'm afraid I'll have to bother you two to go up the mountain to collect medicine in the next few days." Sima Lanxuan's face was slightly embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and said, "There are too many sick people... I'm afraid it will bother you for a long time..."

"What is this? We don't have much, but we have more time. Min Xiaoxin smiled, stretched out her hands and stretched out her sore arms, "I'm just a little tired..."

At this moment, there was a sharp "bang" sound from the inner hall, then there was the sound of broken bowls, and then there were bursts of hiss.

The three people's faces changed, and an apprentice rolled and crawled out of the inner hall, lying on the ground with a sad face, looking at Sima Lanxuan and saying, "Master... Master... It's not good..."

"What happened?" Sima Lanxuan suddenly stood up and asked suspiciously.

"Master... After several patients inside drank our boiled soup, they kept spitting out black blood, which seemed to be extremely painful..." The primary school apprentice stared at their frightened eyes and replied in a trembling voice.

"What!! How could this be? Impossible!!" Sima Lanxuan's face changed greatly, and his figure was suddenly unstable. He calmed down a little, and then barely stood up and then rushed into the inner hall.

When he rushed into the inner hall, he saw a mess in the inner hall. All the patients collapsed to the ground, his mouths of pain, and spit out black blood.

Another primary school student stood in the crowd at a loss and saw Sima Lanxuan coming in, as if he had seen a savior. He quickly rushed to hug Sima Lanxuan's thigh and said, "Master... We boiled the soup as you told us and fed them. Unexpectedly, soon after taking the soup, they..." /P>

"I know... You help the patient back to the bed first..." Sima Lanxuan was sore that he gently picked up the primary school student, and then walked to a patient who was twitching on the ground, picked up the patient up and checked it carefully.

"Poisoning...!!" Sima Lanxuan was so surprised that he suddenly stood up, turned to look at Min Xiaoxin and Lu Lian, and said, "It's in vain that I trust you so much. Why do you poison the herb?"

"Poisoning...?" Min Xiaoxin turned her head and looked at each other with Lu Lian. Seeing that Lu Lian also had a blank expression, "Dr. Sima... We didn't poison... How can we poison..."

"D. Sima, is there any misunderstanding?" Lu Lian said.

However, Sima Lanxuan didn't listen to their explanation at all. He insisted that it was what they did. He stretched out his right hand and pointed to Min Xiaoxin and said, "What kind of hatred do you two have with this town? Why did you do such a thing?"

"Dr. Sima, we absolutely did not poison the herbs. Is there anything wrong with the prescription?" Lu Lian asked in a suspicious voice.

This herb was picked back from Niutou Mountain by themselves. On the way, it was not easy for anyone to pass, and these herbs were personally divided by them, and then boiled into soup. Even if someone wants to take the opportunity to poison, there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Who else will you be?? There is absolutely no problem with this prescription!!" Sima Lanxuan shouted angrily.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of footsteps and noise outside the clinic.

"It's not good... Other townspeople also drank these soups. The mayor must have brought someone to catch Dr. Sima!" Min Xiaoxin said in a shocked voice.

"Bum!" With a sound, the mayor broke into the door with a group of strong men holding torches.

"Sima Lanxuan!! What on earth do you want to do?" The mayor pointed to Sima Lanxuan angrily and scolded, "Why did you poison him?"

"Where on earth am I sorry for you in this town? How dare you want to poison all the people in this town? The mayor pointed to Sima Lanxuan and cursed angrily.

" Dr. Sima! You are the only doctor in this town. I have always admired you, but now you have poisoned herbs. You are so abominable!" Captain Ma scolded.

"Take it away!" The mayor shouted angrily, and Captain Ma immediately rushed forward with several strong men, pressed Sima Lanxuan to the ground, and tied him up firmly, "I will be executed at noon tomorrow!"

"No way!" Min Xiaoxin blushed and came forward to block him, "You can't kill Dr. Sima. He was framed."

"Have you been framed?" The mayor looked at Min Xiaoxin doubtfully, "Who was framed by? Where is the evidence?"

"Evidence..." Min Xiaoxin was stunned and suddenly stopped.

"Huh! The two are not from this town, so I won't involve you in this matter for the time being. The mayor snorted coldly and said angrily, "If you mind your own business!" Don't blame!"

"Master...Master..." The two apprentices came and ran out of the inner hall, crying and running to Sima Lanxuan, "Don't take away the master..."

"These two people are also accomplices!" The mayor pointed to the two apprentices and said, "Take them away together! Let's go to death together tomorrow!!"

Before he finished speaking, several strong men stepped forward and arrested the two frightened apprentices. They dragged the three behind the mayor and left the clinic in the direction of the town's office.

At this moment, Sima Lanxuan, who had been taken away, suddenly turned around. His eyes were full of resentment. He stared at Min Xiaoxin and Lu Lian fiercely. He struggled desperately and shouted loudly to the two of them, "You two are so poisonous!! Our company, Ma Lanxuan, will not let you go!! Even if you go down to the underworld! I'm also going to ask for justice in front of the king of the sle!!"

Looking at Sima Lanxuan and two apprentices being arrested like this, Min Xiaoxin and Lu Lian were helpless. They stood still in a daze and didn't know what to do.
