Chapter 66: Poisoning
Whatever the reason, the two are now in, and it is impossible to change positions again.
Luckily, there are no mechanisms in this secret passage. After walking a short distance, the two reached the other end of the secret passage.
A wooden board was placed over his head, and a slight sound of speech could be heard outside.
A man's voice was low: "In short, the master has arranged everything, you just need to cooperate with us, and you will definitely get what you want." ”
"Hmm. "With a soft sound, I can't distinguish between men and women, and I can't hear emotions. "You ......"
"Ahhh
The man was about to ask something when a scream came from the previous entrance.
Mu Zhifu's pupils shrank, they glanced at each other, and they were shocked in their hearts - it was Xu Changan!
Because the night was quiet and the screams were loud, the two people who were obviously talking overhead were also alarmed.
A man walked over quickly, reaching out to lift the plank that covered the secret passage, but was stopped by the man who had spoken before.
His voice was rather urgent, as if he was a little panicked: "Go this way! Hurry!" and then there was a cacophony of footsteps from above.
But Mu Zhifu and Song Yunjie couldn't take care of those people, they must not let Xu Changan have an accident.
The two turned around and ran back quickly, and this turn turned into Mu Zhifu in front and Song Yunjie in the back......
For some people, luck is just that. pulled people to block the knife all his life, and finally made the ghost send a gentleman once, and finally saved his life because of it.
But of course Song Yunjie didn't know what was about to happen at the moment, he was really worried about Xu Changan's accident. After all, he brought the people out, and he had to give an explanation to the Xu family.
They came out tonight without a secret guard. Because, Emperor Jingwen gave him a secret decree to protect Xie Nianjun wholeheartedly, at least on the surface, it should make people feel so. Therefore, he sent himself and the Xu family's secret guards to guard the camp.
And he took Xu Changan and Mu Zhifu out tonight, and what he wanted to investigate was just a trivial matter. At least, he thought it was a small thing.
His secret guards found out a few days ago that there were officials in Ningyuan City who colluded with businessmen in southern Xinjiang to raise prices and oppress the people.
However, because Jiang Zheng guarded Ningyuan Pass, the management of merchants in southern Xinjiang was quite strict. Therefore, the so-called collusion is actually not serious.
After Song Yunjie got the news, he wanted to use it to add a little bit of political achievements to himself. More importantly, take this opportunity to pull Xu Changan and Mu Zhifu to his boat.
But now, he began to suspect that it was not just a simple collusion between officials and businessmen.
The two of them quickly came to the entrance, cautiously poking their heads out to look out. By the light of the moon and the faint candlelight of the East House, they could see the current state of the kitchen......
Xu Changan held a long sword and stood not far from them, with snakes, insects, rats and ants under his feet and on his body...... There are dead and alive. His face was very ugly, obviously injured, and his movements were a little weak.
And there were more poisons around him, and they didn't know where they came from, and they kept pounced on him.
At the door of the kitchen, there stood a little doll under the age of one. His eyes had no whites, his entire eyeballs were black, his lips were blood-red, and he had a weird smile on his face, looking at Xu Changan quietly.
"It's a witch doll!" Mu Zhifu frowned slightly, but then breathed a sigh of relief: "But fortunately, he is not yet a year old." ”
Refining witch Gu dolls is one of the forbidden techniques in southern Xinjiang. The wizard needs to put the refined Gu worm into the baby's body on the day it is born.
Under the influence of Gu worms, babies have been associated with poisons since childhood, and can gradually control poisons. And the wizard can also manipulate this child through Gu worms.
Every year on the birthday of the witch doll, there will be a metamorphosis. On this day, they will experience unbearable pain. Many children who are not strong enough will die in the process of transformation. But once they succeed, their skills will increase greatly.
This is also a very cruel form of witchcraft, because all the children who have been refined into witch dolls, no matter how powerful, will not live to be seven years old.
And the one in front of them is not yet a year old, and the things that can be recruited are very low-grade.
Normally, Xu Changan will never be left behind. But looking at him like that, it's very likely that he was poisoned......
After Mu Zhifu finished saying that, she was about to go out of the secret passage. Although these snakes, insects, rats and ants are very annoying, if they really fight, the three of them will fight against the last witch doll who is less than a year old - win steadily!
But at this moment, the little doll looked over to them and smiled innocently at the two of them......
At the same time, the small black dots between his eyebrows flew towards Mu Zhifu like arrows off the string.
In an instant, Mu Zhifu remembered what she had read in the book before—the Gu worms in the witch doll's body were highly poisonous!
There was no more time to think, and she instinctively wanted to avoid it. But the width of the secret passage is really limited, and the best option is to dodge sideways.
However, she ignored that Song Yunjie was standing behind her...... She turned to one side and hit him in the chest, perfectly protecting him behind her.
Almost at the same time, the Gu worm burrowed into her left shoulder.
"Hmm......" Her left shoulder hurt, and Mu Zhifu snorted. Raise your right hand and quickly seal several large points to prevent the toxin from spreading too quickly.
scolded in his heart: Song Yunjie, this bastard is really in the way!!
However, in the eyes of the eldest prince, all this is another version......
The Gu worm attacked, right in front of his heart. The little junior sister could have dodged, but she desperately blocked in front of him.
Why is the little junior sister so good to him? Song Yunjie froze in place, his face full of shock and emotion.
The Gu worm separated from its body, and the witch Gu doll instantly lost its vitality and fell to the ground like a puppet.
The house full of snakes, insects, rats and ants also lost control, and most of them fled here by instinct, and there was nothing to fear from the little poison left.
The moment the Gu worm burrowed into her shoulder, Mu Zhifu knew that what the book said was indeed right. She has no antidote, if she allows the Gu poison to spread, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive even a stick of incense.
After a little thought, she made a seemingly crazy, but extremely correct decision - to cut the flesh and regenerate.
There was no time to retreat from others, Mu Zhifu quickly faded the coat on the left side.
Sensing her movements, Song Yunjie came back to his senses and anxiously took the night pearl to see her injuries.
At the same time, he was still thinking about how he should persuade the little junior sister if he was too shy to let him see it...... But I didn't expect the other party's hands and feet to be so neat?!
Song Yunjie breathed and his throat moved slightly. After reacting, I wanted to say that she was inappropriate. But when he finally saw the darkness on her shoulder, he obediently closed his mouth.
"Are you poisoned?" he asked softly, with eagerness and concern in his voice.
"Hmm. Mu Zhifu frowned slightly, and looked at her left shoulder by the light of the night pearl.
Then, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened it again, my eyes were firm. The knife fell in his hand, and he cut off a large piece of flesh and bone in the black part of his shoulder......
