“Brother Quan, I was afraid of dying back then.” Chi Jiao reached out to hug Quan Jue’s arm. She took the opportunity to rub her little face against his arm. “If only you were here. Those people wouldn’t have been able to bully me.”
Chi Jiao never let go of an opportunity to behave coquettishly in front of him.
Quan Jue knew that she was just finding an excuse to be coquettish with him, but he was happy to play along with her. “I’m glad that you’re fine. We’ll leave in two days.”
Pei Yao looked at how adorable Chi Jiao looked now and then thought of how she had beaten up the witch doctor and convinced the villagers. She felt utterly bemused.
Chi Jiao was cute but deadly!
“I’ll brew the medicine for Beitang Lie now.” Chi Jiao took the herbs and walked out of the room.
“I’ll go prepare the wild hare for dinner later.” Quan Jue also walked out of the room.
He had caught a fat wild hare when he was on the mountain with Huo Chen.
After about an hour, Chi Jiao brought a bowl of brewed medicine to Beitang Lie’s room.
After his headache subsided, he had once again descended into madness.
He was tied to the bed and kept up a nonsensical rant, but Pei Yao and Huo Chen ignored him.
“What’s this? Do you want me to eat shit?” Beitang Lie looked at the bowl of medicine that Chi Jiao had brought over. Disdain was written all over his face.
It had to be said that the bowl of medicine in Chi Jiao’s hand really looked like some kind of excrement.
Even the smell was rather unpleasant, similar to that of chicken shit.
“Jiaojiao, did you brew this medicine?” Pei Yao pinched her nose.
“This medicine smells bad, but it’s very effective.” As Chi Jiao spoke, she brought the medicine to Beitang Lie’s mouth. “Be good and drink this.”
Beitang Lie tilted his head. “You want me to eat shit?! How dare you! I won’t eat it!”
“Come, give it to me.” Pei Yao took the bowl from her hands. She then held the medicine in one hand and grabbed Beitang Lie’s chin with the other, forcing him to open his mouth.
She then nimbly poured the thick medicinal liquid into his mouth.
Beitang Lie was tied up and had no way of breaking free. He was forced to swallow the medicine that flowed into his mouth.
A bitter, sour, and foul taste quickly spread between his teeth.
After Pei Yao poured all the medicine into Beitang Lie’s mouth, he let out a loud retching sound.
“You’re dead if you dare to spit it out!” Pei Yao quickly stretched out her hand and covered his mouth.
Beitang Lie looked at her with tears in his eyes. He nodded pitifully, indicating that he wouldn’t vomit.
“Jiaojiao, when will he recover after drinking the medicine?” Pei Yao asked.
“20 minutes at most,” Chi Jiao said. “If he needs to go to the toilet later, untie him immediately.”
The medicine that Beitang Lie took had mild side effects.
It would cause diarrhea.
Pei Yao nodded.
Quan Jue prepared dinner that night.
Not only was there roasted hare, but there were also a few other stir-fried dishes.
While Chi Jiao, Quan Jue, Pei Yao, and Huo Chen were having dinner together, Beitang Lie frantically rushed to the toilet. He had to go to the toilet every five minutes.
After about six or seven times, Beitang Lie felt like he was about to be emptied out.. Only then did his abdominal pain completely disappear.
