169 I've been exposed, I've been seen through

These days, Chu Yu has become very familiar with everyone in the village, especially Zhang Dazhuang's family, who often come and go.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to wash clothes?" As soon as Chu Yu entered the yard, he saw Dazhuang's wife filling dirty clothes into the basin.

When Dazhuang's wife saw that it was her, she immediately put down the basin and said respectfully and politely and happily: "Sir, when Dazhuang's body is getting better, I think about going to the river to wash clothes. When he gets completely in two days, he still has to wear clothes and go out to work."

Chu Yu likes this wife very much. She is no more than two years older than herself, but because she does farm work all year round, the skin on her face is slightly rough. However, her clear and bright eyes are very happy.

"I'm fine, I just wander around bored. I heard from Mr. Gu that Brother Dazhuang's health is almost good, and it will be fine in two days. After all, he is strong and he will recover quickly."

When Dazhuang's wife heard this, she nodded in agreement, "Our Dazhuang is in good health and never gets sick."

She pulled two small stools from the side, handed one of them to Chu Yu, and signaled to sit down and talk.

After she sat down, she was not idle, and she picked vegetables while chatting. "There were infectious diseases in the village before, and many people fell ill, but my family was so brave that it was fine."

Chu Yu learned the other party's technique and picked vegetables, "Why are you the first to be poisoned this time?"

When Dazhuang's wife mentioned this, she was a little angry.

"I don't know, why are you poisoned for a long time? Where did you get the poison in such a small village?"

Chu Yu asked thoughtfully: "Can it be that Dazhuang accidentally ate something on the mountain, causing poisoning?"

His wife shook her head decisively, "We are all native residents here. We can eat whatever we can't eat. How can we accidentally eat it? Besides, there are so many people in the village. Can the one in my family be accidentally eaten, and everyone else can eat it together?"

Dazhuang's wife was skillful. When she spoke, the vegetables in the basket had been picked up. She patted the dust on her hands and got up to wash the vegetables at the wellhead.

"We have been thinking about this for the past two days. How could so many people be poisoned and not having dinner together? It's really strange."

Chu Yu rolled his eyes and asked casually: "I heard that the village chief often goes up the mountain to collect herbs?"

Dazhuang's wife nodded, "That's right. The old man has poor legs and feet, but he can't stay idle."

"I see that the village chief's family is not rich, and he still has to go up the mountain to collect herbs when he is old, which is really pitiful."

Dazhuang's wife also sighed and put the washed vegetables on the small table in the yard, saying with emotion: "Although the village chief's family is not rich, they are particularly kind-hearted. Every time they meet everyone on the mountain to eat, they will divide the dry food and vegetables they brought. I heard that when they were going up the mountain to hunt a few days ago, they happened to meet Heiwa delivering food to the village chief, and there were two meat dishes. The village chief didn't hide it, and took it out to eat together. Later, when they saw that everyone was hungry, they insisted on eating it without eating it, and distributed the food to everyone."

Chu Yu frowned, "A few days ago? Before the poisoning?"

"yes."

The yard was a little quiet in an instant, with only one or two little chicks rushing around in the yard, looking very leisurely.

"Sir, is there something wrong with it? Could it be the village chief?" Dazhuang's wife couldn't continue because she didn't believe that the village chief would do such a thing.

No one in this village would believe it.

"I just thought of something else, so I was a little distracted."

Chu Yu didn't want to alert the enemy, so he said a few more words and left on the pretext.

These days, she has thought of anyone, but she has never thought of being the village chief.

The village chief is so old that he is not greedy for money or lust, and there is no need to harm others.

What's more, even if all these people die, what benefits can they do to him?

If you have no money or power, why bother to go through that trouble?

But when she saw the figure in front of the window last night, many clues flashed through her mind.

The man could stand quietly in front of their window, and he thought he could be good at martial arts and his breath was very good.

If someone comes in from outside, Damao will definitely find out.

But last night, even this morning, Damao did not mention this matter, which means he didn't know that someone was peeping at them last night.

This means that this person is by their side.

Even if Da Mao really saw the other party's surveillance behavior, he would take it as a matter of course and would not think too much about it.

But the matter of the early medicine bag made Chu Yu completely suspicious of joining the village chief.

Because of Gu Changling's medicinal fragrance, Chu Yu understood that this person was a medical practitioner, otherwise he would not have matched this kind of burden of repelling mosquitoes.

Moreover, afterwards, Gu Changling whispered to her that the first smell of medicine was just a faint fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

But after hearing it for a long time, you will fall asleep unconsciously.

Moreover, the formula of this medicine bag is said to be very special.

The medicinal materials inside are very ordinary. You can't tell anything special just by checking the prescription or fiddling with the medicinal materials. But if you study it carefully, you will find that this kind of medicinal bag is actually a poison bag.

It is a poison that makes people unable to guard against and cannot be detected.

Chu Yu was a little scared. If he set the suspect on the village chief, many things seemed to be understood.

But why did the village chief poison his villagers?

Also, who was the figure in front of the window last night?

Chu Yu had complete doubts in his heart, so he decided to go to Gu Changling to discuss with him first. If it really didn't work, he would send Da Mao to the yamen to bring reinforcements.

"Mr. Gu, are you leaving?"

According to Gu Changling's previous plan, today I will apply acupuncture to detoxify at several families in the west of the village.

Because these poisoned people in these families are a little older and their health is not as good as others, this method of taking medicine is too slow for them.

But Chu Yu looked around but there was no Gu Changling's figure, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

When I went back to the village chief's house and tried to look for Damao, I found that there was no one in the family.

Fresh vegetables and some rice were placed next to the stove. I guess Heiwa, who got up early, has returned.

But, where are people going now?

"Hey, sir, what are you doing?"

When Chu Yu was panicking, he heard the village chief's voice ringing at the gate of the courtyard. Looking at the sound, he saw the village chief carrying a bamboo basket and just came back from outside. There were a lot of herbs in the box, and it was obvious that he was going to collect herbs.

"Village Chief, I'm looking for Lord Gu. I heard that her side was about to end, so I thought it would be better to go back to the city as soon as possible. However, I couldn't find anyone." Chu Yu paved back and forth with some anxiety.

The village chief was stunned and was very surprised, "I'm going to leave now? Aren't you going to wait for two days?"

Chu Yu sighed and said embarrassedly: "The yamen just sent someone to pass the message, saying that something big happened to the Sun family, so we asked us to go back quickly. When we think about it, the situation here is basically controlled, and it will be no longer the two or three days. We will leave the prescription, and the villagers can take the medicine by themselves later."

The village chief smiled strangely, "There are many residents in this village, I'm afraid I went to other families and didn't tell you in time."

The village chief put the bamboo basket on the ground, raised his arm to wipe his sweat, and limped towards the house, "Sir, let's wait, it's hot outside."

Chu Yu nodded and followed the village chief into the house without a doubt.

As soon as my feet stepped into the threshold, I felt a strong wind coming from my side, slashing towards her Tianling Cap without bias.

"I've come here, why bother to leave in a hurry?" The village chief turned slowly and looked at Chu Yu with a sinister look on his face.

At this time, he had a straight back and his eyes shining brightly. He no longer had the cowardice and pleasing look of the previous one, but instead had a kind of ruthless and decisive determination.
