Chapter 629: Chapter 634 Poisonous Powder_1
Qiao Duo’er said with embarrassment, "It actually wasn’t that painful, and I don’t feel much now."
In Tan Zhenghong’s eyes, there was only a sea of blood red as he looked towards Hu’s Clan.
"Sister Lan, is your wound still bleeding?"
Lowering her head, Hu’s Clan saw that the butterfly knot Da Ya had just tied had been dyed red—this was too eerie!
"Wasn’t applying the medicine supposed to heal it? Why is it still bleeding?" Da Ya asked anxiously.
Tan Zhenghong picked up the medicine bottle and inspected it closely; a label for stopping bleeding was attached, indicating that he hadn’t grabbed the wrong medicine.
"Stop checking, the medicine is poisoned."
Qiao Duo’er closed her eyes wearily, feeling completely drained at this moment.
She could somewhat guess what was happening—the medicine powder had been laced with a poison that prevented clotting, so instead of stopping the bleeding, it actually prevented the wound from scabbing over.
This tactic could only be described as disgusting.
Tan Zhenghong clenched his fists tightly, "Wife, wait for me, I’ll go catch Bai Yifan. No matter what, we must cure this poison!"
"Don’t bother, by the time you go there and back, I will have already perished. Hurry and have Big Brother make haste. We can talk about everything else after I’ve recovered."
Qiao Duo’er’s lips had turned pale, making her appear somewhat frightening.
As for the one who wanted her dead, she would get her revenge.
Tan Zhenghong nodded and went to speak with Qin Longyun about the situation, but to prevent panic, he didn’t spread the word.
Qin Longyun felt a jolt in his heart and quickly looked down to see that, indeed, his hand wound was abnormal.
But all the wound medicine had been provided by Bai Yifan—how could it be problematic?
Yet, it was not only him; all the people around him couldn’t stop bleeding, leaving him without a reason to defend them.
Qin Longyun hurriedly said, "Anyone who hasn’t applied the medicine yet, don’t do it. Let’s hurry back to town!"
On being told this, the others realized what was happening.
"We finally escaped from Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, only to be brought down by one of our own," a guard said with dissatisfaction.
Having such feelings was understandable; they had just narrowly escaped death, and the problem arose with the supposedly life-saving medicine powder!
Now with blood continuously flowing out, wasn’t this deliberately killing them?
"If you’re afraid to die, don’t come at all. We wouldn’t speak about it anyway. Is there any need to silence us by killing us?"
"If I died in Black Wind Valley, I would accept my fate, considered dying honorably. Now, to be killed by our own—what is going on?"
"Don’t worry, everyone. I will thoroughly investigate this matter to give you an explanation. But for now, the most important thing is to save our lives," Qin Longyun said seriously, then was the first to mount his horse.
Many people had severe injuries, and there was no time to waste.
Though there was some resentment in their hearts, everyone knew that life was of the utmost importance, and this was not the time for being stubborn.
Their pace was fast, but not as quick as the bleeding. Those with deeper wounds had their clothes completely soaked in red. If this continued, someone would indeed lose their life.
"Lord Qin, I can’t hold on much longer," a guard said weakly.
Qin Longyun looked helplessly at the surrounding mountains; even at full speed, it would still take an hour.
But clearly, these people wouldn’t last that long.
All Qin Longyun could do was to comfort, "Hold on a little longer, we’ll be in town soon."
Tan Zhenghong said urgently, "Can everyone go faster? My wife has already fainted, and I’m worried that if we delay, something bad will happen."
