Chapter 1400: Chapter 1394

Change a batch every year?

The supervisor spoke without thinking, but next to him, Xin Lin raised her eyebrows.

Tu Suxuan also ordered people to search around, indeed finding no traces of any poison insects.

"The doctor hasn’t arrived yet?"

Seeing the tea picker barely breathing, Tu Suxuan was getting anxious.

Poisonous insects appearing on the Tea Mountain is a big deal.

These tea pickers could be bitten at any time. How on earth is Tu Suxia handling things?

"The doctor is still on the way."

The supervisor muttered to himself, cursing his bad luck.

In previous years, occasionally three or four tea pickers were bitten to death by poison insects. After the incident, they would casually deal with the bodies and dismiss that batch of tea pickers only to hire a new batch the next year.

This year was just unfortunate; they happened to encounter the young master coming to inspect the mountain, and now it’s troublesome.

At this point, they can only hope the tea picker doesn’t die; otherwise, it would be problematic if the young master decides to investigate.

"Big brother, this is a centipede bite."

Xin Lin tore open the tea picker’s trouser leg, checked the wound, and said.

"A centipede?"

Tu Suxuan, unable to move closer to inspect, spoke with some confusion.

"There are two punctures at the wound, left by a centipede, and there are some burn-like marks on the tea picker’s leg from the centipede’s feet. Judging from the spacing of these marks, this centipede should be quite large and very venomous."

As Xin Lin spoke, she asked Tu Suxuan to bring some medicinal liquor and a roasted dagger.

She quickly searched the Tea Mountain and picked some Houttuynia cordata.

Xin Lin cleansed the tea picker’s wound with medicinal liquor, then used the dagger to make a small cross incision at the wound, squeezed out the poison blood, and applied the juice of Houttuynia cordata on it.

However, the tea picker’s complexion was still poor. Xin Lin then fed her some Jade Pure Spring, and her color slightly improved, but the toxin was not cleared.

This centipede poison is the most severe centipede venom Xin Lin has ever seen.

"This centipede venom is incredibly potent, not from an ordinary centipede. I’ve temporarily suppressed her poison. Big brother, you must immediately take her back to the city, find a doctor to treat her, and I’ll search through medical texts to see if I can find a cure."

After handling the situation, Xin Lin stood up and spoke.

Tu Suxuan quickly instructed people to follow Xin Lin’s instructions.

"Tu Suxia has been careless, having centipedes in such a place. Just wait until I get back and teach him a lesson."

Tu Suxuan looked displeased.

If word gets out that Yunshui Tea has poisonous insects, who will dare to drink it?

Yunshui Tea is supplied annually to the Fuzhou Emperor. If this reaches him, the Tu Su family might be accused of poisoning the Emperor, which would be a grave offense.

"Big brother, I think it’s not fair to blame Tu Suxia for this. Look at the environment where Yunshui Tea grows; it’s nestled in mountains and near water, with abundant Wood Spirit, making it inevitable for poisonous insects to breed. Just make sure the tea pickers use some insect repellent powder daily."

Xin Lin said.

"I’ll still have a word with Tu Suxia; this place has poisonous insects, and it’s not safe for you here either. I’ll take everyone back to the city first."

With this disruption, Tu Suxuan was no longer in the mood for tea, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to give Xin Lin the package of tea anymore. He arranged for a carriage, and a group of them hurried back to the city.

That night, near South Suburb Tea Mountain.

Two graceful figures landed.

They were two masked women.

"Xin Lin, are you sure that finding the centipede can save my mother?"

Murong Ziyue and Xin Lin, dressed in night clothes, returned to South Suburb Tea Mountain after nightfall.
