“Oh, Doctor Gu. What brings you here?” At this moment, the plump kitchen chef called out.
“There’s something 1 need to do. The village is desolate, so for safety’s sake, I’m here to check if the water is drinkable.”
“This water looks so clear. It should be fine, right?”
“Being clear doesn’t mean that it’s fine. It’s better to be careful.”
The fat kitchen chef saw that he was insistent and did not object. Instead, he urged, “Then you better hurry up; thousands of brothers are waiting to eat.” “I’ll be quick.” Gu Chengrui responded and then asked them to lower their heads to take a sniff. As expected, there was no smell.
As for testing the poison, he didn’t do that personally. He wouldn’t fare well if it were poisoned, even if he did not die.
At this moment, a lizard happened to pass by. Gu Chengrui went forward and grabbed it. He poured a bowl of water and threw the lizard into the bowl.
When the fat kitchen chef saw this, he wanted to stop it, but he shut his mouth as he reached out his hand.
The lizard rolled a few times in the water and quickly stopped moving.
The vitality of these wild critters was resilient, especially when this lizard wasn’t in deep waters, being in such a shallow bowl.
If nothing had been wrong with the water or it had not been poisoned, it would not have died this quickly.
“This, this…” the fat chef was stunned when he saw this. At the same time, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Who wanted their lives?
Coincidentally, the Third Prince followed them in. His heart sank when he saw this scene, and he roughly understood what was happening.
This kind of poison was precious and not something ordinary people could come into contact with.
He said, “Don’t move. Use the water we brought with us to cook our dinner, and be careful not to use these buckets anymore.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
“Yes, sir.” The fat chef immediately responded and called everyone to bring their water in.
At the same time, Gu Chengrui also walked out with that bowl. He studied it on the way back but still could not determine what poison it was.
The Third Prince called a few generals over, then asked them to pick some elite soldiers and arrange for them to set up a trap.
Of course, it would be best if they could catch the perpetrator alive and find out who the mastermind was.
They would still send them before the King of Hell if they couldn’t capture them alive.
On the other end of the line, Zhou Ying knew she couldn’t go out anymore after this incident. She just returned to the camp and took some water from her interspace to wash up.
She saw Gu Chengrui come in with a bowl and asked curiously, “This is…”
“It’s the well water, and a lizard was poisoned to death after being inside it.
Unfortunately, we don’t know what kind of poison it is.”
“It’s fine as long as we know we can’t drink it. I sure wonder who the perpetrator is.”
“It’s hard to say. The Third Prince himself has many military merits and has contributed a lot to promoting the white sweet potato. Perhaps he has threatened the interests of some people.”
“That’s true. It looks like we have to be careful from now on.”
“Yeah, we won’t be able to sleep well until this matter is over.”
After that, with Zhou Ying guarding him, Gu Chengrui went into the interspace to find out roughly what kind of poison it was.
However, he could only confirm that it was a poison extracted from a plant. As for what kind of poison it was, he still needed to verify it in detail.
After dinner, the Third Prince walked in and said, “Tonight, you guys go to the kitchen and hide. No matter what happens, don’t come out.”
“Alright, be careful.” Gu Chengrui nodded. He took out a packet of poison powder and handed it to him. “This is a powder that poisons the wounds. You can put it on your swords.”
The Third Prince shook his head after hearing this. He disdained to do such a despicable act.
Gu Chengrui saw this and did not force him. He just placed the bag of power on the only bed in the tent, then turned around and walked out with Zhou Ying..
