After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

Xiao Tao said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Miss! I didn't expect that I would be so terrible today and make the house look like this.

Miss, I'll get up and clean up right away! Miss, lie down and sleep for a while.

Did I act too crazy in my dream yesterday and scare the young lady?"

I shook my head, touched Xiaotao's forehead and said, "Xiaotao, these are not only caused by you, I am afraid that I also did it.

I also went crazy last night. When I woke up this morning, I felt sore all over.

There are even some bruises!"

I showed Xiaotao the bruises on my thighs and hands, and she exclaimed: "This doesn't look like the symptoms of a cold! It looks like we have other symptoms!"

I immediately reached out and covered Xiao Tao's mouth, and then I said to her: "Don't talk about this for now!"

Xiaotao was frightened by my action of covering her mouth, and immediately nodded obediently.

Xiaotao calmed down under my forced request, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't care about the mess anymore. I pulled Xiaotao to sit down and said, "Xiaotao, look at the mess. It's all our fault.

If you didn’t know, you would think we got up and had a fight in the middle of the night!

If others see us in this situation, they will think that we are possessed by evil spirits, right?

We two can't let others find out.

So many people in this mansion treat us as monsters, what should we do? "

Xiao Tao thought for a while, looked at the things on the ground again, and realized that what I said was indeed correct.

Xiao Tao nodded immediately: "Okay! We won't tell anyone! But Miss, we can't keep it a secret forever!"

"Have we been like this recently? What about before? Do you remember how long it started?" I asked Xiaotao anxiously.

Xiao Tao may not remember when her symptoms started, but she will definitely remember mine. She takes care of me every day, so she is very familiar with my situation.

Xiao Tao thought about it seriously and said, "It started from the day when the fifth prince gave Miss a personal jade pendant.

I remember that the young lady kept saying that she was sleepy that day. At that time, I thought that the young lady was tired, so I helped her to sleep.

But soon after the young lady fell asleep, she started talking in her sleep. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

I thought I would observe it for a while, but I didn’t expect that I would fall asleep. I really didn’t expect this to happen.”

After hearing what Xiaotao said, I immediately took the pill and took out the jade pendant given to me by Wen Yiheng.

I looked at the crystal-clear jade pendant with dragon patterns and a Chinese character “heng” carved on it, and felt a little nauseous.

I leaned in to smell it, but I didn't smell that odor. The jade pendant had no odor at all.

This made my scalp tingle. At first I thought there would be mandragora in this jade pendant, but after smelling it for a long time, there was none. So who could have poisoned me?

This made me collapse again in an instant. I looked at my desperate face in the bronze mirror, then looked at the shiny green jade pendant, and felt a momentary sense of irony.

Xiao Tao looked at me in confusion and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you? This jade pendant itself has no fragrance. Why did you pick it up and smell it?

Miss, are you possessed by something?

If this is the case, I will immediately find someone to take a look and see what is going on!"

I turned around and grabbed Xiao Tao's wrist and said, "No, I'm not possessed. I just suspect we may have been poisoned.

These symptoms look like poison, but this poison is not unique to our area.

It's just a poison unique to the Western Regions! I haven't found out who poisoned it yet!"

After hearing these words, Xiao Tao felt as if she was listening to a story. How could this be poisoning? It didn't look like poisoning at all!

I looked at Xiaotao's disbelief and sneaked out with her.

Xiao Tao and I came to where Li Jingyan lived. The door at Li Jingyan's door was closed, and I called several times: "Jingyan"!

No one responded to me here. Xiaotao and I waited at the door for a long time, but still no one showed up.

I looked at the Yaoshan Mountain which was shrouded in clouds and mist, and followed them into the Yaoshan Mountain.

There was fog in Yaoshan and the visibility was very low. Xiaotao and I regretted coming in, but it was already like this and we had no choice but to move forward.

I, Xiaotao, and I kept walking forward, while Xiaotao huddled together behind me, and our hands were tightly held together.

In this mountain, the ground is covered with fallen leaves, overlapping one after another, and the forest is exceptionally quiet.

Xiaotao and I stepped on piles of leaves, which made a "crackling" sound. The sound was so loud that it seemed to swallow Xiaotao and me.

Xiaotao no longer felt safe holding my hand, and immediately hugged me tightly from behind.

Xiao Tao said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Miss, is Mr. Li really in here? Or is he just trying to fool us?"

Before I could answer, a flock of birds flew over my head, making a series of chirping sounds that really made my scalp tingle.

I was also scared, but I knew that I was the one who asked Xiaotao to come in, and Xiaotao depended on me for everything. If I said that I was also scared, Xiaotao would probably faint on the spot.

I looked at Xiao Tao and said, "Really? He must be just ahead! Let's just walk a little further! We shouldn't be too scared!"

The two of us bravely kept walking forward. It was getting later and later, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

Xiaotao and I have walked a long way. The temperature in the mountains is now a little cold, and we both feel obviously chilly.

The wind started to get stronger, and the grass around was taller than some of the small trees. The wind blew on the grass, as if someone was mowing it!

When Xiaotao and I were in a dilemma, we heard a rustling sound in the leaves next to us, which made my blood boil.

If you hear this sound in the wild, there is a high probability that there is a snake moving nearby.

The sound was getting closer and closer to us, and we were almost about to collapse.

Xiao Tao first saw that it was a big snake, and it rushed straight towards us. Xiao Tao pulled me behind her and said, "Miss, hurry up!"

I looked up and saw a big snake rushing towards us with its tongue spitting out. I looked around and saw some vines.

I jumped up and pulled the vine over to throw it at the snake. The vine was quite powerful and the snake was throbbing.

Xiaotao and I seized this opportunity and ran back immediately, but there was no way we could outrun the snake, it soon caught up with us.

We were running in front and the snake was chasing us from behind. We couldn't find anyone in the entire mountain and it seemed like the snake was about to swallow us.

Xiao Tao looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Miss, if there is a next life, I will come back to serve you again."

After saying that, she stood in front of me, holding me tightly and not letting me move at all.

At this moment, I burst into tears. I felt ashamed for doubting Xiaotao's sincerity and felt sad for losing Xiaotao.

The snake rushed towards us, but for a long time Xiaotao and I didn't feel any pain, nor did we hear any sound of the snake biting.

Xiaotao and I opened our eyes and turned around to see that the snake was circling around us without spitting out its tongue.

We were wondering when Li Jingyan suddenly came out from behind, saw the snake and touched its head.

Li Jingyan looked at us in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"

He patted the snake again and said, "You, please don't be so naughty!"

We asked with some doubt: "Do you know it?"

"It's the guardian snake of this medicine mountain, so of course I know it. If anyone with bad intentions wants to break in here, it will be responsible for driving them away!" Li Jingyan said.

At this time, the big snake nodded with its tongue sticking out. I felt relieved after hearing this. I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child, and seeing this big snake made me feel even worse.

Li Jingyan said to the snake patiently: "They are all my friends. They all came to see me and are not interested in the things in this medicine mountain.

I'll get you some food, eat it and go back quickly, your herbal friends are all looking for you, I'll come and play with you next time!"

Li Jingyan took out some herbs from his backpack and fed them to the snake. After the snake ate them, it immediately walked away.

Xiaotao and I thought we were seeing things, so we rubbed our eyes to make sure we were not seeing things.

Li Jingyan didn't care about our reactions and said to us: "Let's go quickly. We can talk about anything after we get back!"

After Li Jingyan finished speaking, he walked forward on his own. The two of us followed him and followed him into the house.

After Li Jingyan entered the house, he did not treat us as guests. When he saw us enter the yard, he closed the door.

He put his backpack on the ground, and then took out the herbs in the basket to dry them.

We were just about to help him take out the herbs and dry them in the sun when he immediately said anxiously, "Don't move! Don't move!

These herbs have their own characteristics. When drying them, you should follow their medicinal properties.

If we don't follow their medicinal properties, I'm afraid all these herbs will be wasted. You guys just sit down first! I'll go get it first!"

Xiao Tao looked around and found that this was really a nice place. Far away from the hustle and bustle and close to nature, life here was quite peaceful.

Li Jingyan was sorting his medicinal herbs there, and we were fiddling with them beside him.

After he finished, he asked, "Why did you go to Yaoshan?"

"Didn't you say last time that if I couldn't find you, I would go to Yaoshan to look for you?" I said speechlessly.

“I forgot to tell you, there are spirit snakes guarding that place. Those snakes are all spiritual and don’t eat animals.

Just eat ordinary medicinal herbs. The better ones have spiritual powers.

The spirit snakes will stand guard nearby, fearing that the herbs will be picked by others.

As for why it recognized me, I don't know, but the first time I met it, it came over and asked me to touch it.

Maybe this is fate!"

Before I could even ask the question I wanted to ask, he explained everything clearly.

Li Jingyan then asked: "Why did you come to see me today?"

I immediately pushed Xiao Tao out and said, "Mr. Li! Please help me check if my Xiao Tao also has that poison in her body?"

Li Jingyan moved closer to Xiaotao and smelled it, and soon he found something wrong.

The scent of the datura flower on Xiaotao's body is a little weaker, but if you get close and smell it carefully, you can still smell the scent of the datura flower.

Li Jingyan was silent for a while and then said: "You are indeed all poisoned, but Qingqing's condition is more serious. I will take her pulse later to see what the condition is."

Xiao Tao obediently stretched out her hand, and Li Jingyan took her pulse. After a while, Li Jingyan spoke: "Fortunately, it's not too late to find out now.

I'll give you some medicine later. Take it and rest for a while. The poison will dissipate in a few hours!"

Li Jingyan came closer to me and sniffed it, then said with a puzzled look on his face: "You have already been detoxified. Why is there so much poison in your body?

I remember it's only been two days since we last met. You have twice as much toxin in your body as she does! How did you guys do that?

Did she poison you, and did she also get poisoned? "

After hearing this, Xiao Tao immediately knelt down, pulled my sleeve and said, "Miss! Miss! I really didn't poison you!

"I really don't know what's going on, Miss! You have to believe me!"

I helped Xiaotao up and said, "I believe you!"

Li Jingyan pulled me into the house and said to me: "You have accumulated too much toxin. Looking at your condition, I'm afraid it will take someone close to you to poison you!

You take her with you wherever you go and she spends the most time with you. Are you really sure that there is nothing wrong with her?

If there is a problem and you still keep it around, it will be something completely harmful to you.

Do you really want to have a ticking time bomb around you all the time?"

I understand Li Jingyan's feelings, but if Xiaotao is lying, then how should I explain what happened in Yaoshan today?

I plan to continue to believe in Xiaotao.

Li Jingyan knew my answer and stopped talking.

The medicine Li Jingyan gave me was completely different from Xiaotao's. My pills were darker in color and bigger in appearance.

I was somewhat puzzled. Li Jingyan spoke as if it was nothing new: "The signs of poisoning for both of you are different, and the degree is also different.

If they were all using the same medicine, this would be impossible. One of the ingredients in this medicine is a poison. If you take too much, it will cause poisoning in the other medicines.”

After listening to Li Jingyan's words, Xiaotao and I both took the antidote obediently, and soon felt refreshed.
