Su Ze was a little unhappy when he heard that. “Sister, why are people like them still giving them water? Wouldn’t it be better to let them die of thirst?”
Su Li turned around and smiled at him. “Shouldn’t we let them drink more water from the well?”
Su Ze’s eyes lit up when he heard that. That’s right. There’s something wrong with the water in the well. They should give them more to drink.
Su Ze immediately fetched a large bucket of water. He took a broken water gourd and fed it to their lips. “Come and drink water.”
Those people looked at Su Ze with gloating expressions. Although they knew that there was a problem with the water, they were thirsty and had no choice. They would either die of thirst or drink poisonous water. However, they were already poisoned. They should be fine drinking this water, right?
Those people did not want to drink anymore after their thirst was quenched.
Su Li looked at them and sneered. “You want to drink whenever you want? You think that you have a choice?”
Su Ze understood and pinched their chins to pour water.
Soon, the bucket of water was empty. Su Ze carried the bucket and prepared to get another bucket of water.
However, Su Li stopped him. “That’s enough. Let them live. They are still useful.
“Alright then!” Su Ze sounded disappointed.
He especially liked to see those people in pain. As long as they looked uncomfortable, he felt very comfortable.
Su Li took out the silver needles she carried with her. Su Ze’s eyes lit up when he saw the silver needles.
Yao Jun, who had rushed over after hearing the news, happened to see Su Li take out the silver needles and Su Ze’s eager expression. He thought of that night and subconsciously took a step back.
But on second thought, it didn’t make sense. He was one of them now, and he wasn’t the one who’d been stabbed with the needle. Why should he be afraid?
He should be happy. The person who was stabbed was finally not him!
Yao Jun hurriedly ran in front of Su Li and said obsequiously, “Boss, how can you do such a small matter yourself? Why don’t I help you!”
Su Li glanced at him and instantly saw through his thoughts. “Next time!”
This time, she was not playing around. Instead, she was observing the changes in their blood.
Yao Jun’s smile gradually widened. “Alright, I’ll help you next time.”
Su Li nodded slightly. She squatted down and inserted the silver needles into those people.
Although the blood looked normal, Su Li could still see traces of purple in it.
She pointed the beads of blood on the silver needles at the sunlight and realized that their blood was a little strange. It looked normal, but the concentration was no longer right.
Normal human blood was bright red and looked very clear. Although their blood was also bright red, it was already like a quagmire.
Su Li took out the blood tubes she had prepared and instructed Yao Jun, “Go and wipe their fingers clean.”
Yao Jun was a little puzzled. Why did he have to wipe those people’s fingers? Were they worthy?
Su Li said, “Wipe it if I tell you to.”
“Alright!” Yao Jun was very unhappy and helped them wipe their fingers clean. There were many personal grudges between them, so he exerted force.
“Boss, I’m done. Their fingers are very clean now.”
Su Li took the blood vessels and began to collect blood.
When those people saw Su Li’s actions, they felt their heads buzz. It was fine if the female ghost drank their blood last night, but why did such a normal person want to drink their blood?
Had the world changed? Did some people live on blood?
The people who were stunned were not only the ones who had their blood taken. He Yufeng, Su Ze, and the others who were standing at the side were also stunned.
Su Li ignored their gazes and carefully put the blood into her pocket. This blood was very important to her. It was the key to whether she could develop an antidote.
Su Ze swallowed his saliva and asked, “Sister, why do you want their blood?
Their blood is too dirty. If you really want blood, I’ll give you mine!”
He was strong and healthy. He wouldn’t die if he gave his sister some blood, right?
He Yufeng also said, “My blood is not bad either. You can come and take it at any time.”
Yao Jun glanced at them. Were these two seriously ill? Could blood be given casually?
However, since all of them had expressed their willingness, it was a little unreasonable for him not to say anything, but he was really afraid!
If possible, he wanted to disappear on the spot.
When Su Li heard their words, she held her forehead helplessly. What was going on?
She explained, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not really asking for blood. It’s just that they’re poisoned. I’ll take their blood and study it to see if I can make an antidote as much as possible.”
“It’s better for you to keep your blood on your bodies. If you bleed too much, it won’t be good for your health.”
The people who had just had their blood taken:
When Yao Jun heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that she didn’t really want blood. He was really frightened.
He grinned and said, “Boss, my blood is also very fragrant. If you need it, I can contribute.”
Su Li looked at him meaningfully. “Alright, I’ll remember your words. I’ll look for you next time. Coincidentally, I’m short of a few people to help me test the medicine.”
Yao Jun was speechless.
For real?
He was just being polite just now!
Su Ze patted Yao Jun and said, “It’s good that you think that way. We’ll be good brothers from now on. When my sister needs blood, I’ll look for you immediately.”
Yao Jun’s expression was a little ugly. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he could not say a word.
Su Ze asked, “Why? Are you going back on your word?”
Yao Jun hurriedly shook his head. “Why would I go back on my word? It’s just that I remembered that a doctor said that I was anemic, so I was afraid…
At the side, Su Li kindly reminded him, “I’m also a doctor. I don’t think you’re anemic.”
Yao Jun said awkwardly, “Maybe I made up for it later!”
He had really experienced what it meant to shoot himself in the foot!
He Yufeng looked at Su Li and smiled dotingly. She was getting more and more interesting.
Su Li and the others guarded the well for a while and explained to the people who came to fetch water one by one. Some timid people believed them and did not fetch water from the well to drink. Some people did not believe them at all and felt that Su Li and the others were exaggerating. They continued to fetch water from the well.
Su Li did not try her best to stop such people. It was fine as long as she had a clear conscience. Since they did not believe her, there was nothing she could do.
After a while, Su Jidong brought the village chief of the Su family village over.
“Where are they?” Village Chief Su asked.
Su Li pointed. “Over there!”
Village Chief Su followed Su Li’s finger and saw a few pale people with pustules on their faces. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
“They, they’re sick, right?”
Last time, he had heard that a village had contracted an infectious disease. No one in the village was spared. In the end, the entire village was burned..
