Chapter 715 was discovered
The lock had obviously been opened, otherwise it wouldn't have fallen off at the touch of a hand.
"There's no one in there, right?" said Trema timidly.
Inside the courtyard, there is already a layer of dust, and it seems that no one lives in it, but if there are people inside, it is difficult to say.
"Then let's go?" Zhou Wen said tentatively.
As soon as he finished speaking, Trema shook his head and said, "No, you have to go in, you don't know, that activating oil is really easy to use!"
He didn't hesitate anymore and pushed the two small wooden doors open.
A strong medicinal fragrance came to my face.
There are all kinds of herbal smells mixed in it, just smell it, and you feel that your brain is cool, and your whole spirit is awake.
"Come in!" Trema squirmed in, beckoning Zhou Wen to follow.
Zhou Wen hurriedly walked in.
The interior of this small house is simply furnished, with only one bed and a few vertical shelves.
On one shelf are baskets of dried herbs, and on another shelf are some bottles and jars.
"I've been here twice and no one has found me. Trema laughed.
He walked briskly to a shelf where the bottles and cans were kept.
"Your Huaxia medical skills are really unfathomable, and some herbs can be configured together to exert a huge effect. Terema glanced at the herbs on the side and said.
Sniffing the medicinal fragrance on the tip of his nose, Zhou Wen quickly checked the inside.
It's like a storage room, but I don't know what this bed is for.
There is also a table in the corner, on which are placed some tools for pounding medicine, and the vicissitudes of life are quaint.
"I've seen something even more miraculous before, an elixir that can repair even a fatal injury. Zhou Wen responded with a smile.
"The oil is on this shelf, I'll look for it. "Trema began to inspect the shelves layer by layer.
There are some labels on the shelves that indicate what is placed here.
Terema's gaze shifted from top to bottom, the upper layers were filled with some unknown medicine jars, and the bottom layer was some empty bottles and jars.
Moving to the middle, a label is attached to the shelf with the words "Activating Oil".
But the shelves were empty.
"Oh no, the oil is gone!" Trima said in surprise.
"If not, forget it. Zhou Wen said with a smile.
There was no hope in the first place, and it didn't matter if there wasn't.
Terema's face changed, and he said solemnly: "When I came last time, there were still four bottles left here, how could I not see it, and no one came here." ”
He pondered for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason.
Trima searched the shelves for a long time and found that there was still no trace of active oil.
"Well, forget it, let's go. Terema said with some regret.
Zhou Wen nodded, ready to leave here.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the closed door.
"Oh no, someone's coming!" Trima exclaimed.
"Zhou Wen, hide quickly!" Trema hurriedly hid behind a desk and asked Zhou Wen to come over as well.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was already at the door, and it was too late for Zhou Wen to hide behind the table.
He hurriedly took a few steps and hid behind the shelves where the herbs were kept.
The herbs were all placed in large baskets, barely able to hold out.
As soon as he hid in the back, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open by a hand.
An old man in loose clothes walked in.
"Is it an old man?" Zhou Wen said secretly in his heart.
The old man was dressed in black on the top, a pair of white trousers on the bottom, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet.
"It's so strange to dress up, this is the base of Qi Fengting, how can there be such a person?" Zhou Wen wondered in his heart.
However, the old man wore a pair of sunglasses on his face.
When he walked in, he took off his sunglasses, as if because of the dim light inside.
Zhou Wen opened his scanning eyes to look over, and found that the old man's eyes were actually scars, which seemed to have been scrapped.
"Blind?" Zhou Wen was even stranger now.
A blind old man, what are you doing here?
The old man tucked his sunglasses into his pocket and walked in.
At this time, Trema behind the table made a few gestures, and Zhou Wen looked over.
Seeing Zhou Wen look over, Trema pointed to his eyes, meaning that this old man was blind.
He pointed to the door again, and put it to his mouth again to make a gesture of boo.
Zhou Wen already understood what he meant.
Since this old man is blind, he can't see the two of them, and as long as he doesn't make a sound and quietly leaves from here, no one will know.
Zhou Wen nodded, signaling that he understood.
The old man hadn't noticed the two of them yet, but he had walked towards the shelves where the herbs were kept.
Behind the shelves, it's Zhou Wen!
"You go first!" Zhou Wen gestured to Trema.
If you can go one by one, you must not hesitate at this time.
Trema quickly stood up and cautiously stepped out from behind the desk.
The old man's eyes kept on the shelves, not looking around.
Terema's heart was about to reach his throat, step by step, very slowly, not daring to be too fast.
If it's too fast, it's bound to make a sound.
Blind people can't see, but they hear well.
By this time, the old man was almost in front of the shelves, but he suddenly turned in a different direction and walked to the shelves where the oil was placed.
Zhou Wen's heart breathed a sigh of relief.
If the old man stood in front of the shelves, he would not be able to leave.
Zhou Wen was about to get up and look for an opportunity to sneak out.
At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke.
"Both, did you take my activating oil?"
The old man's voice instantly reached the ears of Zhou Wen and the others.
For a moment, Terema's footsteps also stopped.
Zhou Wen was sweating profusely, like falling into an ice cave.
Isn't this old man blind? How can he know that there are two people?
What if it's a fraud?
Trema sneaked out of his right foot, and he was just one step away from getting out.
As soon as his right foot was in the air, the old man suddenly grabbed a bottle from the shelf and threw it out.
"Whew"
The speed of the bottle was extremely fast, and it smashed into Trema's body in an instant.
"Still want to run?" the old man's voice carried a hint of anger.
An overwhelming momentum erupted from his body.
At this moment, Zhou Wen had woken up.
The old man really knew that there were two people.
"This grandfather, we are just passing by, passing by. Terema quickly withdrew her right foot and said with a grin.
This bottle was smashed just now, and it hurts.
The most important thing is that he didn't have a way to dodge just now, as if he mentally felt that this bottle couldn't dodge.
Mentally I felt that I couldn't hide, so I subconsciously gave up.
"And the one that, hiding behind the shelves, come out. The old man said coldly.
Zhou Wen looked embarrassed and walked out from behind.
"Who are you two?" asked the old man.
"Grandpa, we are newcomers to this batch of training camps. Trema said with a smile on her face.
Since you can't hide from it, you can only find a way to avoid punishment.
The old man can have such a place in Qi Feng Ting, and his identity must not be bad, but Trema doesn't remember that there is an old man among those senior members of Qi Feng Ting.
"Newcomer?" the old man's face changed slightly.
Although his eyes can't see, they seem to be able to see people's hearts, and nothing can escape his heart.
"There will be you two thieves among the newcomers in the Vermilion Bird Hall, it seems that I have to tell Lu Qiongwei. The old man said lightly.
Hearing Lu Qiongwei's name, Terema's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly said: "I have only been here twice, and I took two bottles of activating oil, and the remaining four bottles were not taken by me, I don't know!"
"Nonsense! No one has ever come to this place, and today the two of you happen to be here, and I have placed a total of six bottles of revitalizing oil in it, all of which are gone, is it not you, could it be someone else?" the old man's tone was cold.
"It's really not me, I'm just ...... I've only taken two bottles, and when I came here before, I thought there was no one here, it was a medicine warehouse, and everyone could take whatever they wanted. Trema explained.
If Lu Qiongwei knew about it, he couldn't imagine what kind of torture he would have to endure.
"You took two of the six bottles of rejuvenating oil, and you didn't take the remaining four, who are you fooling?" the old man said angrily.
How can there be any claim that a thief will steal something and leave you some money, most of them are all stolen, and no one really believes Trema's words.
"This grandfather, it's really not us who took it, the four bottles of active oil were gone when the two of us came in. Zhou Wen also explained.
"If you don't believe us, you can check our clothes, we haven't gone out yet, things must be on us. Zhou Wen then said.
Terema also woke up and said, "Look at us, there is really no rejuvenating oil on us!"
He flipped the pockets of his clothes open and showed them off.
"I can't see it, how can I check it?" the old man snorted.
Terema's expression froze.
"What then?" said Trema helplessly.
"Why don't we compensate you, how much does that oil cost?" asked Terema.
The old man sneered: "This activating oil is made with a combination of various rare medicinal materials, you can't afford to pay for it!"
"What's more, some of the medicinal materials are no longer available, and the six bottles of Activating Oil are all treasured by me, and they are now priceless. ”
Terema was even more helpless now.
Originally, I came to look for Huoluo oil, but not only did I not find it, but I was also called a thief.
After all, he had only taken two bottles before, and the last four bottles were not his own.
He admits the previous punishment, and the subsequent punishment cannot be accepted.
"Grandpa, do you mean to believe that it wasn't the two of us who stole it?" Zhou Wen realized something else.
"To steal is to steal, and your friend said that he took two bottles, which is also stealing. The old man said coldly.
Terema hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, grandpa, I know it's wrong, I will definitely compensate you." ”
As he spoke, he bent down and bowed.
But he didn't notice that a slight meaningful smile flashed on the old man's face.
"There is no need to apologize, if the two of you can recover the remaining four bottles of Activating Oil, I will not blame this matter, if you don't find it, then you are ready to get out of the house and leave the Suzaku Hall." The old man said lightly.
"Okay, we will do it!" Zhou Wen took the lead in agreeing.
"However, I have one more request, you two, to be my test subject. The old man's face showed a smug smile.
