C1227 You Are Testing Me
Medicine King saw that Chu Zhe was indeed in grief and nothing unusual happened. He turned around and left, while Chu Zhe slowly walked towards the herb cottage with Morin.
As they walked, Chu Zhe was carefully listening to whether anyone was following them, because he had followed Chu Yun just now. He was afraid that he would be followed by Medicine King or someone else.
Chu Zhe was also thinking about it. If he had exposed himself, he would have been followed by them.
"What's wrong? Chu Zhe, are you alright?" Morin noticed that Chu Zhe was acting strangely today. Morin asked carefully.
"I'm fine." Chu Zhe and Morin had already walked to the door of the cottage. "Come in and talk."
Chu Zhe pulled Morin into the cottage and looked outside. He then closed the door. "By the way, how is Grandpa?"
Morin suddenly frowned. It seemed Chu Zhe was a little strange today. "Didn't you say Medicine King told you?"
Chu Zhe was shocked. Yes, he seemed to have said that just now. "Oh, Medicine King was afraid that I would be worried, so he didn't say anything."
Chu Zhe looked at Morin guiltily, afraid that Morin would discover something.
Fortunately, Morin didn't say anything. "Oh, it's like this. Valley Master's condition is not very good. Actually, I just went in and found that Valley Master seemed to have been poisoned."
This news was rather explosive to Chu Zhe. "What? ... poisoned?! ! Yes, poisoned, venomous?!"
Morin sighed deeply. "No, not poisoned. Valley Master was not poisoned by the Gu poison. He was poisoned by a kind of chronic poison."
"Actually, on the day Boss woke up, I looked at Valley Master's pulse and found it a little strange. However, because everyone was more concerned about Boss's condition, they did not pay much attention to Valley Master."
"Thinking back now, Valley Master should have been poisoned a few days earlier. But at that time, the poison was not very strong. " So we didn't notice it, and we didn't know that he was poisoned. "
Chu Zhe had thought of many possibilities, and he had also told Morin about it. He said what would happen if Chu Yingloong was poisoned as well. However, when he found out the truth, Chu Zhe found it hard to accept.
After a while, Chu Zhe came back to his senses. That means someone poisoned grandpa, but why did he do that?"
In fact, Morin could not explain why. "I'm not sure about that, but you said Medicine King told you about Valley Master's condition. I thought Medicine King told you about Valley Master's poisoning."
After hearing what Morin said, Chu Zhe knew that he had been exposed. Chu Zhe clenched his fists and pretended to cough. "Medicine King didn't tell me about this just now. He just said it."
When Chu Zhe said this, he didn't know whether he should continue or not. What if Morin was just here to test him? So Chu Zhe changed his words, "Medicine King said that grandpa's health is not good."
When Morin saw Chu Zhe suddenly change his tone, he was very confused, so he said, "Medicine King said grandpa's health is not good." Do you have something you want to tell me?"
"No. No." Chu Zhe denied immediately.
"No, no, no, I think something is wrong with you." Morin felt that there must be something on Chu Zhe's mind. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so strange. "You don't believe me, do you?"
Facing Morin's question, Chu Zhe quickly waved his hand. "No, why would I?"
Chu Zhe denied it very directly, but his eyes betrayed him. Morin saw this and shook his head. "No, you don't have to rush to deny it. I can see that you don't trust me. Were you testing me just now? "
Morin was right. Chu Zhe was testing him. Chu Zhe didn't want to admit it, so he continued to lie. "I didn't. I was really worried about Grandpa."
Morin turned around and walked to the door. He gently opened the door, looked at the empty door, and then closed it. Then he led Chu Zhe to the back. "Do you still remember this place?"
Chu Zhe looked at the small herbal field that Morin had created and said without thinking. "Of course I remember. Didn't you bring me here last time?"
"That's right. I brought you here before." Morin walked to a small stool and sat down. "I told you that you could be eavesdropped wherever you speak. That's why I brought you here."
"I have soundproofed this place. Plus, there is a pond outside the back wall. It is difficult to be eavesdropped. " Then you can tell me now. "
Chu Zhe was still hesitating. Should he trust Morin now?
In fact, Morin saw that Chu Zhe was still hesitating. He did not know how to prove that he really wanted to help him. "How about this, I know you might suspect me now."2
Morin did not care what Chu Zhe thought. He decided to tell him what he thought first. "In other words, you were not only testing me, but also Medicine King. Right? "
Chu Zhe didn't expect Morin to be so smart that he could see through him with just a glance.
"Actually, I am not that smart." Morin seemed to be able to hear what Chu Zhe was saying in his heart. "I suspect Medicine King," Chu Zhe said.
Morin's words made Chu Zhe's eyes widen like copper bells. "Why? When did you start to suspect him?"
"Think about it, when Boss woke up. Medicine King and I checked the valley master's pulse at the same time. At that time, he didn't show any signs of being poisoned. It was because of his poor blood and Qi that his pulse was weak."
"But after taking the medicine to recuperate for a few days, he should be able to recover no matter what. But when you came here before, did you not tell me that Valley Master did not come out to eat and that Valley Master was resting on the bed? So what if it was Valley Master? "
"From your words, it can be seen that the Valley Master's body is getting more and more serious. Actually, I've already started to doubt it since then. "
Morin took a deep breath. "But I don't have any evidence. Plus, I don't think Medicine King will do anything to Valley Master. Everyone knows what Medicine King did to Valley Master after all these years. "
"They are brothers in trouble. Last time, they went to the Barbarian Land together in search of rare herbs. " That's why Medicine King is a bad person. I really don't believe that Medicine King would hurt Valley Master. "
Chu Zhe also nodded at this time. Morin did not believe it. In fact, even he himself did not believe that Medicine King would betray the Longying Valley. It would be detrimental to them.
Morin leaned on the chair and sighed heavily. He wanted to smoke, but when he touched his body, he realized that there was no smoke on his body.
