These dozen or so people were none other than the thieves who, under Fan ijiao’s instructions, had sneaked into the Mo Family in the dead of night with the intent to ruin Mo Yan’s reputation.
Xiao Ruiyuan, with Sharp Sword in hand, watched coldly as the thieves continuously rolled on the ground, howling in pain. If it were not for the sake of Mo Yan’s plan, he would have sent these people to their deaths long ago.
Mo Yan changed into a neat set of clothes and then opened the door of the small hall to walk into the courtyard. Although she had anticipated that the thieves eting their fate at the hands of Xiao Ruiyuan would be a sorry sight, seeing their miserable state with her own eyes still felt exceedingly terrifying.
Their agony not only stemd from the fresh blood streaming out but also from the nurous centipedes crawling over them, biting them now and then. Even without experiencing it personally, she could imagine the excruciating sensation.
"You’re awake?" Seeing Mo Yan, a flash of surprise crossed Xiao Ruiyuan’s face; he clearly had not expected Mo Yan to wake up so quickly.
Mo Yan, unaware that she had been hit with a sleeping acupoint, and focusing on the thieves on the ground, did not notice Xiao Ruiyuan’s astonishnt and nodded, asking, "What did you do to them to attract so many centipedes?"
Since the Mo Family resided at the edge of the mountains, it was common to encounter snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Centipedes were rare dicinal herbs, and Mo Yan, who had personally caught them before, was not afraid. Her concern was that these creatures might enter the house and harm people. She often scattered so Pest Repellent Powder in the corners of the walls. Normally, the centipedes should not have appeared in the house.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan took out a small dicine bottle from his bosom and poured so more powder on the wounds of each thief.
Seeing this, Mo Yan guessed that the powder was unusual. Indeed, the centipedes, as if stimulated, beca increasingly active on the thieves’ bodies, biting even more fiercely.
The dozen or so thieves were howling due to the centipedes’ bites. If it weren’t for their youthful resilience, being bitten so many tis might have caused them to faint from pain. In such a case, fainting might actually be for the better.
Mo Yan took the dicine bottle Xiao Ruiyuan handed to her and sniffed. She could identify the ingredients of several dicines, but to concoct it, she would either have to put in effort or ask Doctor Du for assistance.
Putting the dicine bottle that didn’t belong to her into her belongings with serenity, Mo Yan then took out another bottle from her waist and said to Xiao Ruiyuan, "If we keep this up, these n won’t be in any shape to deal with Fan ijiao. Let’s stop here for today."
Xiao Ruiyuan nodded slightly and sheathed Sharp Sword. If these n weren’t of use to him, he would have killed them one by one without hesitation. At this point, their fate was hardly better than death.
There would be more days to co, and this debt would be slowly settled in the future!
Mo Yan, holding the dicine bottle, walked up to the thieves and sprinkled so specially concocted notoginseng powder on their ghastly wounds to stop the bleeding. Then, she forced their mouths open and stuffed a brown pill into each of their mouths.
Seeing that their wounds stopped bleeding and the pain lessened, the thieves thought Mo Yan was a saint-like good person and eagerly swallowed the pills.
Mo Yan had never seen anyone take poison so willingly. When it was almost ti for the drug to take effect, her face showed a trace of malicious smile, "Do you feel a heat in your belly now? Like strands of thread passing through your internal organs, tightly weaving a burning sensation inside and out?"
The thieves felt it, and indeed, just as Mo Yan described, their abdons began to heat up. However, they mistook it for the pill taking effect and did not panic.
Seeing this, the corners of Mo Yan’s mouth turned up more and more. It seed the pills worked on everyone after all, making her three years of research in Space worth the effort. She had designed it specifically for this group of people.
