The medicine given to the assassins is different from the medicine given to the guards and servants. It can only relieve their vomiting symptoms, and people are still weak.
But Daji was very cautious, and tied everyone up with ropes.
The assassins lay sideways on the ground, and seeing Zhou Man came to chat with them again, they couldn't help moaning, and said with pain on their faces: "It hurts, it hurts, my lord, my hand hurts too much, can you relax me?" Untie it?"
The person lying next to him immediately said, "Yes, I am in pain too, my lord, can you see if my hand is about to break?"
Zhou Man didn't look at their hands, but said with sympathy: "If the hands are tied too tightly, it is easy to die. Hands and feet are the same as the internal organs of a person. They need blood circulation to keep them active. You see The useless human flesh without blood is pale and colorless, and even if it is taken back, it will not survive, but will rot and affect the skin that comes into contact with it.”
"The same goes for your hands. If you tie them too tightly, the blood won't reach your wrists and palms. After a long time, your wrists and palms will tingle first, and then slowly lose consciousness. When you can no longer feel the existence of your wrists, your hands will It's dead."
The more Zhou Man talked, the more excited he got, he squatted down a little bit, and the more he said, "Except for the hands, other parts of the body are the same. For example, if you maintain a posture for a long time, your muscles will be injured and your blood circulation will be biased. You don’t feel it at first, but when you restore their original posture, you will find tingling and numbness. Maybe you will feel better after moving, but the damage that has been caused cannot be recovered naturally. It will always exist, although you feel Less than…”
The assassins lay flat on the ground, looking up at the starry sky expressionlessly, not paying any attention to the pressure on their arms. At this moment, they just wanted Zhou Man to shut up.
Zhou Man finally finished his science popularization, and then looked at their posture with regret, "It won't take long for you to lie down like this, and after two quarters of an hour you will feel numbness and tingling in the arms below the shoulders, that's fine, as long as It takes one night, and you will not only lose your wrist and palm, but also your entire arm, which saves more fabric."
The assassins were startled, and they really felt the numbness of their arms. They hurriedly wanted to lie on their sides, but because their hands and legs were tied and their bodies were weak, they threw themselves several times before turning over.
Zhou Man has been sitting at the side watching with his chin propped up, with a look of relish on his face.
An assassin couldn't help being angry, "Aren't you an imperial physician, aren't you a doctor? It is said that doctors are benevolent, why don't you see any kindness?"
Zhou Man clicked his tongue and said: "You are not patients, you are my assassins, how stupid am I to sacrifice my life to fulfill you?"
"However..." Zhou Man tilted his head and said, "Actually, it's not impossible. If you turn to us and become my people, I can be a doctor or an imperial doctor to treat you with all my heart."
None of the assassins spoke.
Zhou Man felt that sitting like this was a bit tiring, so he changed his posture, put his feet forward, pushed his hands back, crossed his legs, and asked with a sway: "What are you afraid of, I've caught you all?" , what else can they do to you?"
"I'm different. Now your life and death depend on me. If you don't say it, I can still discuss it with you in a good manner. When I return to Beihai County, I will use all eighteen sets of severe punishments. Tsk tsk tsk..."
Before the assassins came, they were prepared to die in battle. In fact, they were not so afraid of death, but they were very afraid of this kind of torture.
The assassins showed remorse. They knew that they shouldn't have stayed in the afternoon to detoxify, and they ran out even if they were desperate. It's better to be poisoned than tortured, right
I also regret that they drank the medicine just now, they should rather die than let go, and poison themselves to death alive.
Zhou Man saw through their plans at a glance, sighed, shook his head and said, "You guys, your thinking is too simple. To be honest, I am a good person, and all the people I met before were also good people, so these poisons have never been used."
"You are the first batch of bad guys I met, and also the first batch of people who tried my poison. If you don't say anything, and you have used eighteen sets of torture, if you don't say anything, then you are arrogant!" Zhou Man said enthusiastically: "Of course a person with such a strong will will make the best use of everything."
There was a faint light in the eyes of the assassins, and they looked at Zhou Man with some hope.
Zhou Man said excitedly: "It happens that I still have a lot of medicines that have not been tried before. Alas, I am a good doctor and imperial physician after all. I can't let patients come to test medicines. The death row in Beihai County has to be sent to the state city for review. , Every time I test the medicine, I have to send it back to the capital to find the criminals who have been sentenced to death by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. It would be great if I had you, I can try a lot of medicines... "
The assassins froze, and they all froze.
Zhou Man saw that they looked unloved, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, if you try the poison, I will prepare the antidote for you, after all, you have to try the antidote to see if it works, but there is room for improvement. Some poisons will rot the flesh, and the whole body is like having leprosy, but you don’t have to worry too much, I am also famous for my healing methods, and the meat picking skills are very good... "
The faces of the assassins turned even paler.
Zheng Guduan happened to hear this passage when he came over for dinner, he shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and said, "Master, let's eat."
Next time, let Master bring Xibing or Jiulan with him, otherwise what if he can't control the expression on his face when he hears these words, what if the enemy sees his flaws
Zhou Man hurriedly sat down, put the tray on his knees, took a sip of the soup before a group of hungry assassins, then ate a bun with chopsticks, and sighed while eating, "There is no water around here, boil it for you A lot of water has been used for the medicine, so I can't even wash my hands now, alas~"
Unfortunately, the assassins were all facing her, seeing her eating, they couldn't help swallowing.
"Want to eat?" Zhou Man asked them with a bun between his hands.
Although they thought she would not give it, the assassins still nodded and looked at her expectantly.
"It's a pity that there are not many of us. After all, no one expected to meet assassins on the road, so we only brought our own share of dry food. You have already taken our share of water, so we can't let you take rations."
An assassin said: "My lord, we don't want steamed stuffed buns, can we just drink water?"
"No!" Zhou Man said with a serious face: "The water is reserved for you to boil medicine, it is for life-saving, how can you drink it?"
Assassins: ... water is also life-saving.
They didn't feel thirsty at first, but when Zhou Man drank soup in front of them, the assassins felt hungry and thirsty again. Seeing her indifference, they felt angry. Sure enough, officials are not good people, look at this hard-hearted person.
Zhou Man was still talking to them, "Do you Jiangnan people also like to eat buns?"
