Chapter Sixteen: Mistaken
After washing, Ji Wenyu returned to the room and saw the box of hawthorn pills on the table. He opened the lid, pinched one and threw it into his mouth, and then lay on the bed to prepare to go to bed.
When he lay on the bed, Ji Wenyu suddenly felt something was wrong. Although the hawthorn balls in the box were in bulk, each one was wrapped in wax paper outside. He remembered that the one he had just eaten seemed to have no wax paper. Could it be that the manufacturer missed the packaging?
No, the taste of this hawthorn pill is not right. I tasted it myself when I first bought it. The hawthorn pill is sour and sweet, and it also has a faint smell of Chinese medicine. But now the one I eat seems to be all the medicine, bitter and astringent.
Could it be that this hawthorn pill was broken? Thinking of this, Ji Wenyu didn't dare to delay any more, so he quickly stretched out his neck and was about to spit it on the ground. Unfortunately, it was too late. Ji Wenyu had just bitten the hawthorn pill in his mouth, and the hawthorn pill turned into a ball of liquid. Then, before he could open his mouth, the liquid flowed into his throat.
Ji Wenyu quickly spitted a few mouthfuls on the ground, but nothing was revealed. The hawthorn pill had long disappeared, as if he hadn't eaten anything just now. How could this work? If he had a stomachache, there wouldn't be a better clinic nearby.
There was no choice but to put his finger into his mouth and try to spit out the broken hawthorn pills by inducing vomiting. As a result, after a long time of hard work, he rolled his eyes so hard that he rolled his eyes. Tears flowed out, but he didn't succeed.
At this point, Ji Wenyu had already planned to give up. Even if the hawthorn pills expired, it would not be possible to turn into poison, right? As he grew up in the countryside, he was used to drinking cold well water since childhood, and his stomach that had grown tap water should not be unable to digest it.
At this moment, the temple Zhu Laomiao, who was enjoying the cool air at the temple gate, came to the house. Perhaps the lights in the house were too dim, so he did not pay attention to Ji Wenyu's expression. He just opened the dilapidated cabinet and took out a blanket from it, and said, "This kind of weather is not suitable for quilts in the house, but it is not possible to cover things in the mountains. You can use this blanket, I will cover the quilt outside."
The temple prays to Lao Miao to sleep at the temple gate for a night. It’s okay to say in the first half of the night, but it’s okay not to cover it, but it’s hard to say in the second half of the night, so I take a quilt to avoid catching a cold.
Miao Zhu Lao Miao put the blanket on the bed, then picked up the quilt at the head of the bed and left the door. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something and said outside: "Xiao Ji, I put your hawthorn ball on the table. Did you see it? Maybe the lid was not covered, and one fell to the ground. I picked it up and washed it, then put it in the box for you. Don't worry, I rinsed it with well water, it was not dirty."
After the temple Zhu Lao Miao finished speaking, he carried the quilt to the entrance of the temple, leaving Ji Wenyu stunned in the room.
What? The hawthorn pill fell on the ground and picked it up and put it in the box? The box was covered well, how could the hawthorn pill fall out? Why is this scene so wrong? Ji Wenyu lay on the ground and began to look for the pill that fell on the ground in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, my eyes were sore and I couldn't find the pill. Only the wax shell wrapped in the pills was still on the ground. Ji Wenyu looked at the box again. All the hawthorn pills were wrapped in wax paper, but the one that Miao Zhu Laomiao said was gone.
In other words, Miao Zhu Lao Miao put the pill that fell to the ground in the afternoon as a hawthorn pill in the box, and he also took the pill as a hawthorn pill. By chance, what he had just eaten was the pill that he dug out underground in the afternoon?
This is a death to the death. Do you dare to eat that kind of thing? I have been buried under it for many years, and I don’t know what the ingredients are inside. I don’t know whether it is poisonous or not. If it is harmful, wouldn’t I be dead? Ji Wenyu regretted it. If he had known it, he would have thrown the pill far away in the afternoon to avoid misleading others and himself. But there are no regret medicines in the world, and it is too late to regret it now.
Ji Wenyu tried to induce vomiting again, but everything was futile and nothing could come out. In desperation, Ji Wenyu had to bend down and pick up the wax shell on the ground. He wanted to study it carefully to see if he could find any clues. Even if he died, he had to be a wise ghost.
After taking it close to it, he soon made a new discovery. The shell was actually only a very thin layer of wax, and the shell inside seemed to be made of jade. The thin layer of jade shell looked extremely delicate. The pills wrapped with such a fine thing must be very precious.
But no matter how precious the pills are, they cannot be eaten randomly. God, how can you make such a joke? Could it be that I, Ji Wenyu, will die in this general temple today?
Suddenly, Ji Wenyu felt his body slowly getting hot, as if a stove was installed in his stomach, baking his body, slowly radiating heat outside. In fact, the fever had already begun, but Ji Wenyu didn't notice it, and it was a bit like boiling a frog in warm water.
When Ji Wenyu felt it clearly, his body heat was almost at the limit that ordinary people could bear, at least about forty degrees. This was already a high fever. When the body of ordinary people reached this temperature, they were dizzy, extremely uncomfortable, and even confused. However, for some reason, Ji Wenyu was still very clear-headed.
I had known that the pill was not a good thing, but I never expected that it would have such great power. It was even more powerful than poison. How long has it been after just so long, I would have been burned to such a thing. If I had been in a while, wouldn't I be burned to charcoal? What should I do?
Ji Wenyu wanted to stand up, go to the well in the yard, and rinse it with cold water to cool it down, but at this time he realized that his legs and feet could no longer move. Ji Wenyu was finally scared. He didn't dare to delay any more. He wanted to shout a few times, alarming the temple Zhu Laomiao who was resting at the temple gate. When he saw something wrong, he would definitely send him to the hospital.
But when things came to an end, he realized that he could not even make a sound. He could not move or ask for help. What else could he do except wait for death? The more he reached this time, the more active Ji Wenyu's mind became, and he couldn't help but think about it.
I originally thought this trip was to travel and relax, but I didn’t expect that this kind of accident happened. I was only twenty-one years old, and it was a great time for my youth. I was about to die before I could enjoy it. It was a fate that made people feel bad.
