Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Chapter 222 Water Poison Hemlock

After peeling potatoes for a whole day, Xu Wenyan's hands were numb.

I went to wholesale some potatoes again. I never thought that these wolf tooth potatoes would be so popular. I have to say that I will have a grudge against potatoes for the rest of my life.

Chen Sanlin, Xiaohu and the others had to go back and clean up the wasteland. Xu Wenyan had already instructed them to plant the entire acre of land with Houttuynia cordata.

He wanted to go and discuss it with Zeng Guoqin.

He carried a basket of potatoes, which were seeds for his family.

"Brother Zeng, are you busy?" It was already afternoon, and Zeng Guoqin was writing with bamboo charcoal in the yard. He had seen Xu Wenyan writing with charcoal before, so he asked Xu Wenyan for a piece.

"Captain Xu, come in quickly."

Xu Wenyan put down the backpack and sat beside him. Zeng Yuanyuan ran out of the house at this time and accidentally fell.

"Hey, cry, you'll feel better after you cry."

The little girl was about to cry, but she held it back after hearing what Xu Wenyan said.

"My little girl is naughty. Captain Xu, please forgive me for making fun of you."

Xu Wenyan waved his hand: "Oh, Brother Zeng, I'm here to discuss something. The village is planning to open a school.

The village chief has already chosen this location, which is right next to their house, where the wounded were previously placed. I wonder if you are interested in this."

Zeng Guoqin was delighted at first, then hesitant: "Captain Xu, I haven't been to school for a long time, is it okay?"

"It's not about teaching well, just teach them to read and count, and don't let them become idiots." Xu Wenyan also thought that the course should focus on practicality.

What the courses teach are all close to life, such as adding courses on understanding pests, plants, wild vegetables and weeds, as well as how to avoid natural disasters and increase survival rates.

There is also health management.

A big part of the reason why ancient people lived short lives was that they did not pay attention to hygiene and died from infections caused by them.

In the countryside, there is no need to learn those empty things. Just being able to live a good life is the most important thing.

"Okay, when you need me, Captain Xu, just tell me."

After finishing this, Xu Wenyan still had to go to Zheng Liwei's place to check. He didn't know how the sauerkraut they made was.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Wenyan saw jars of various sizes placed inside.

"Captain Xu! You are here to get the sauerkraut? It will probably take another ten days for the sauerkraut to be taken out of the jar." Zheng Liwei spoke enthusiastically.

When discussing the matter of being a teacher with him, he was a little hesitant, after all, he was a businessman. Xu Wenyan did not force him, and just asked him to take a math class every few days.

Now we just need to wait ten days to pick the sour bracken.

But when Xu Wenyan just returned home, he saw a group of people gathered at home. Xu Wenyan frowned and stepped forward to push the crowd aside: "What's going on? Who is this?"

The woman in the front saw Xu Wenyan and started crying and pulling towards him.

Xu Wenyan quickly dodged to the side: "Hey, what's the matter, I have a family, why are you pulling and tugging?"

The woman's face was covered with tears, and she must have cried for a long time: "Xu Wenyan, you are so cruel, my old Zhao, didn't provoke you, but you actually poisoned him to death!"

Xu Wenyan's face was full of question marks, and her brows immediately deepened: "No, when the hell did I poison your husband?"

The woman burst into tears and pointed at the man lying on the ground in Xu Wenyan's house: "My husband became like this because he ate your wild vegetables, and you are still trying to make excuses."

"Ah? When did I give wild vegetables to your man? I don't even know you, okay?" Xu Wenyan really didn't know the woman in front of him. It seemed that they had not even met once.

And it seems that her man was not a member of Xu Wenyan’s team before, so how can it be said that Xu Wenyan poisoned her husband?

"My husband became like this because of the wild vegetables you eat. You must be responsible for this!" The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and pointed at Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan understood now that this was a plan to blackmail him: "Why would I let it go? It seems that you guys got poisoned by what you ate, and you want to blame it on me. Do I have the word 'resentful person' written on my face?"

"My husband ate the same food as you did. I advise you to get the antidote as soon as possible." The woman sounded pitiful and unreasonable, and she didn't look like she was acting.

It's absolutely amazing.

Xu Wenyan put her hands on her hips and said, "Tell me what your husband eats."

The woman ran out in a hurry and came back with a basket of green wild vegetables soon. Xu Wenyan walked forward and took a careful look.

This wild vegetable is a multi-leafed plant, thinner than celery. Xu Wenyan immediately knew that he had been poisoned by the water-poisoned celery.

This water celery looks very similar to celery, especially when it is still a tender sprout, and some jungle experts will inevitably make a mistake for it.

Xu Wenyan did not teach these people about poisonous wild vegetables such as water celery and toon, or wild vegetables that look similar to poisonous plants.

Xu Wenyan looked at the man who fell to the ground again. The man's face looked very ugly and there was a lot of vomit on the ground.

"I'm really impressed. I never taught you to eat this thing. How much did he eat?" Xu Wenyan looked at the woman impatiently.

The woman got anxious and knew that Xu Wenyan was going to default on his debt: "You just want to default on your debt. I tell you, if my old Zhao dies, I will never let you go."

"Damn it, don't you understand me? I asked you how much he ate."

After being yelled at by Xu Wenyan, the woman was a little scared. After all, the other party was a man: "Eat... I ate a small plate."

Xu Wenyan shook his head: "Who of you has strong tea?" Xu Wenyan looked around at the people around him.

Apparently tea is a luxury item that not even rural households have. When Xu Wenyan came here, he was also puzzled that there was not a single tea tree in the village.

Milk is considered to be quite effective in inducing vomiting, but it is no longer possible to obtain it nowadays.

Xu Wenyan just walked into the house, made a large bowl of salt water and brought it to the woman, asking her to drink it.

As for whether it can survive, that’s unknown. After all, the poison of water celery is quite strong.
