Chapter 330 Just in case
Mei Chengan took a sip of tea and turned the teacup over.
"What good stuff? Take it out."
Fan Xian chuckled and without further ado, he took out the small waist bag from his waist and threw it on the table in front of him.
"Here, good stuff."
After saying that, he picked up the teapot and poured himself some tea.
Mei Cheng'an glanced down and saw that the paper bag looked just like the medicine bag used to pack powdered Chinese medicine when buying it in modern times.
The sloppy packaging looked cheap and cheesy. Could this be a good thing? Mei Chengan looked up in confusion.
"What the hell is this?"
Fan Xian held the teacup with an unfathomable expression on his face.
"Have you heard of the Red Sleeves Plan?"
"..."
Mei Chengan looked down at the medicine bag. What is this thing...
Depend on! ! !
No wonder they look so familiar, it turns out he is such a "good" guy! This bastard is trying to insult him and divert his attention!
Mei Cheng'an suddenly raised his head and glared at Fan Xian, his mouth opened and closed again, and the curse words were on the tip of his throat, but he just couldn't curse them out, because theoretically he shouldn't have known, and since he didn't know, then naturally he had no reason to be angry.
When Fan Xian saw his expression, he didn't think much about it. He thought that he was just pretending to be cool and keeping things in suspense, which made him angry and want to curse.
"Stop, stop scolding me. I won't pretend anymore. Let me have some tea. I'll explain as soon as I'm done."
Since he had misunderstood, Mei Cheng'an just went along with it, rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"You still have some sense, let him go!"
Although Mei Cheng'an's tone was very impolite, Fan Xian didn't care. It was good enough that he didn't curse at him. He was very content.
After taking a quick sip of tea and quickly putting the cup down, Fan Xian gave him a brief introduction to the Red Sleeves Plan.
"so."
Mei Cheng'an pointed at the medicine bag on the table and looked at Fan Xian sideways.
"What does this Red Sleeves Plan have to do with this thing?"
Fan Xian chuckled.
"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet, the teacher said that the poison of the Red Sleeves Technique is generally not contracted.
It can only be contracted when there is intimacy and close contact, and this medicine pack is the antidote to Si Lili's poison."
After a period of buffering, Mei Cheng'an's emotions had stabilized. He leaned against the carriage, propped up one leg, put his arm on his knee, and tilted his head to look at Fan Xian with a half-smile.
"What do you mean?"
Fan Xian looked a little surprised.
"You don't understand this? Tsk, your comprehension is a bit poor. Oh, I didn't want to explain it in detail, but since that's the case, I'll just say it directly.
The teacher knows how loyal I am to Wan'er and how upright I am as a person, but he doesn't understand you.
The reason why I gave you this antidote is that I’m worried that you won’t be able to control yourself on the way...well, you know what I mean.
This way, even if you are poisoned, you can detoxify yourself and your life will not be in danger.
I got anxious when I heard it. Isn't this questioning your character? What's the difference between questioning your character and questioning mine?
So I made a serious statement to the teacher at that time that your character is absolutely reliable and you will never do such a dirty thing.
But the teacher told me that giving you this antidote is not because I don’t trust you, but just to be on the safe side. After all…
Right, Si Lili is indeed very beautiful. It’s a long journey and the two of you are driving very close to each other. What if she takes the opportunity to seduce you?
After the teacher said that, I was a little confused. Well, let me make it clear first, it’s not that I don’t trust you.
The main reason is that Si Lili is a spy from an enemy country after all. She was sent to Kyoto so she might have some charming tricks.
No matter how experienced you are, you are still a young man full of vigor and vitality. It is better to be safe than sorry. What if you accidentally get...right?
So after thinking it over and over again, I decided to give you this antidote so that you can prepare for this eventuality! Um... that's all. The teacher and I have good intentions. It's definitely not that we don't trust you. Please don't be suspicious!"
Mei Cheng'an was not moved at all when he heard this. He even felt like laughing. It was really difficult for this guy to come up with such a seemingly complete logic in such a short time.
Mei Cheng'an tapped the table lightly with his fingers, narrowed his eyes, and still looked at him with a smile.
"Ah, so that's it."
Fan Xian said with a solemn oath.
"That's right. I promise that every word I say is 100% true and there is absolutely no falsehood. If you don't believe me, I can swear on it."
Mei Cheng'an did not respond. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes focused, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Only his fingers were still tapping slowly on the table.
"Da da da."
In the quiet carriage, Fan Xian felt that every knock from his fellow villager seemed to be hitting his heart.
Unconsciously, he even felt that his heart would skip a beat every time a knock sounded.
"Da da da."
He swallowed involuntarily and stared at his fellow villager's fingers tapping on the table. Fan Xian felt his mouth becoming increasingly dry.
Just when he was about to be unable to bear it, his fingers suddenly stopped and the knocking sounds ceased abruptly.
At that moment, his heart instantly rose to his throat.
Mei Cheng'an raised his head slightly, smiled faintly under Fan Xian's slightly nervous gaze, and softly uttered four words.
"That's not necessary."
"..."
After a pause, Fan Xian exhaled heavily, then breathed rapidly. Finally, it was finally over.
It’s so difficult and so torturous!
Why do I suddenly feel like crying? So this is the legendary feeling of crying tears of joy, Fan Xian thought secretly.
He originally wanted to see his fellow villager's defense break down, but as he was talking, he felt that there was something wrong with his fellow villager's reaction.
He couldn't tell what was wrong, but he just felt something was weird. His sixth sense told him that if he continued according to the original plan, he would be in big trouble!
The instinct of seeking profit and avoiding harm drove him to abandon his original plan and he improvised a new story based on the original words.
Fortunately, the trick of making something out of nothing worked successfully. It seems that the fellow villager was fooled. Thank God.
When Mei Cheng'an saw Fan Xian's relieved look, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud. "Hey, we're not friends anymore, can you please control your expression?"
Is it appropriate to express your inner thoughts directly?
After thinking about it, Mei Chengan decided to let him go.
Mei Chengan took the medicine bag on the table and turned it over, then asked.
"How do you use this medicine?"
"what?"
Fan Xian was a little dazed after being awakened, but he reacted after taking a look at the medicine bag in his fellow villager's hand.
"Oh, this medicine, this medicine you..."
As Fan Xian was speaking, his voice suddenly stopped. He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at his fellow villager in disbelief.
"No, are you really going to use it?"
Mei Cheng was happy.
"Didn't you give me this medicine just in case? How can I be prepared if you don't tell me how to use it?"
"..."
