Chapter Ninety-Nine: Falling Short
"Sink your waist, shake your hands, hook the needle tail!" Tang Wanqing silently recited the mantra of "beating around the bush" in her heart, and shot the Tang Gate poison needle at the wooden man again and again. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Nearly a thousand times a day, not a single hair needle could hit the wooden man, she was drenched in sweat, her hair was soaked with sweat, and it stuck to her reddened cheeks.
It was almost dawn, the other disciples had already gone back to rest, Tang Wanqing was still practicing seriously one stitch at a time, she didn't feel tired, her wrists hurt so much that they were about to break, the deerskin gloves were full of sweat, and the sweat seeped into her delicate skin and hurt and itched, but there was still no trace of tiredness in her bright eyes. As a girl, Tang Wanqing can be regarded as outstanding among the disciples, relying on this hard practice, she doesn't know how many times more hardships she has endured than others, she does not have the innate talent of her eldest brother Tang Wanao, nor is she cared for by the elders in the door like Tang Wanfeng, she can only rely on her own efforts.
Compared with Tang Wanqing, Xiao Yun is not so able to endure hardships, all he has to do is to serve a cup of tea when Tang Wanqing occasionally rests, hand over a towel, and use a clip to clean up the scattered hidden weapons, it is this thing that has made Xiao Yun greet Tang Wanqing's ancestors for the eighteen generations in his heart. Seeing that Tang Wanqing was still practicing, Xiao Yunxin said: "This dead girl dragged me to serve her here for a day, and the day's work is almost over, and I haven't done anything, so how can I inquire about the collection of the antidote." Suddenly, I thought that according to Tang Chuxia, this antidote is in the hands of this dead girl, why not go to this girl's room to investigate, even if it is not in vain today. Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Tang Wanqing shouting: "Erbao, you are lazy again, hurry up and bring water!"
It turned out that Tang Wanqing had finished practicing a round of hidden weapons, and wanted to drink saliva to rest, but when she picked up the teacup and saw that it was empty, she knew that this "Xu Erbao" was lazy again, so she took off her thick deerskin gloves and screamed impatiently. Xiaoyun immediately ran over and shouted, "Here, here!" There was a stumble at his feet, and he fell on the table where the hidden weapon for practice was placed. Tang Wanqing hurriedly flew up and kicked Xiao Yun away, and shouted in her mouth: "Be careful of the hidden weapon on the table!" If the hidden weapon on the table cuts through this Xu Erbao's skin, it is really hopeless, I don't know how many hairy handymen died on it, how did she know that Xiaoyun is better than a monkey, and if she sees it, he will pounce on it, and his target is Tang Wanqing's deerskin gloves on the table.
"Oops! it hurts me to death!" As soon as Xiaoyun fell to the ground, he immediately cried wolf, Tang Wanqing heard him cry and knew that he was fine, and glanced at the hidden weapon on the table out of the corner of her eye, and counted it silently in her heart, not a single one was missing, and then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The precious Tangmen secret weapon didn't know how many miscellaneous servants had taken risks, and she had to guard against it.
"Third Miss, what are you going to do, the villain just fell, do you need to kick me so hard?" Even the tears that Xiaoyun said were about to come out.
"Don't know what's wrong!" Tang Wanqing crossed her waist and scolded: "Didn't Old Tang tell you when he came in? This secret weapon can't be touched, the table is full of hidden weapons, if I don't kick you away, your life will be there, don't be verbose, pour tea quickly!"
Xiaoyun was still chattering in his mouth, and he was very reluctant to stand aside for Tang Wanqing. In my heart, I was happy, although I was kicked hard just now, I also took the opportunity to bounce a little "itchy powder" into Tang Wanqing's deerskin gloves, Tang Wanqing is proficient in all kinds of **, she may be able to find other medicines immediately, but this "itchy powder" is made of natural pollen, which is not **.
Sure enough, half a cup of tea couldn't be practiced until Tang Wanqing, took off the gloves, scratched for a long time and didn't get better, only sweat pierced into the skin, and he didn't suspect Xiaoyun, so he said: "That's it here today, Erbao, you put my hidden weapon into the box with a clip, fifty-six pieces, not a single one!"
Xiao Yun carefully packed up the hidden weapons, and his saliva was about to flow out, the price of each of these hidden weapons was much more expensive than the same weight of gold, if he could steal one or two, he would not make a fortune. But this Tang Sect disciple is very careful about his secret weapons, how can he have a chance to steal them, Xiao Yun finally understood why even the masters of stealing doors could only steal eleven authentic Tang Sect secret weapons for so many years.
After putting all the hidden weapons into the box, Tang Wanqing picked up the box and said, "If you dare to come late tomorrow, I will stab you with a needle!" and left, Xiaoyun hurriedly took off the clothes of the miscellaneous servants, which were wearing the thief's night clothes, and followed. Tang Wanqing's hands were itchy and unbearable, and she was in a hurry to go back to the house to take the medicine, where could she still notice a thief boy behind her.
The thousand-year-old Tang Gate is really huge, Xiaoyun secretly followed Tang Wanqing left and right, and I don't know how many carved beams and a few paintings I passed, and finally came to a delicate small building, and the two maids in front of the door saw Tang Wanqing coming back, and immediately greeted them, and said: "Miss, why is it so late, there are so many masters in the door, Miss, you don't have to work so hard!"
"Boil the water, I'll take a shower later." When she returned to her boudoir, Tang Wanqing immediately showed her tiredness, and she didn't want to say anything more to the maids, so she walked straight to the inner room with the hidden weapon box, opened a mahogany cabinet next to the bed, put the box in, and took out an identical box, opened it, took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out some ointment and applied it to the itchy part of her right hand, presumably it was a cool and anti-itching medicine, Tang Wanqing closed her eyes, and the cool feeling immediately penetrated into the skin, which was extremely comfortable.
After a while, the itch disappeared, and Tang Wanqing stood up, took off her practice clothes, and walked towards the outhouse. All this was clearly seen by Xiao Yun lying on the roof, he removed a small piece of the roof tiles, and pasted half of his face painted with black ink on it, which could not only prevent the moonlight from penetrating into the house and be discovered by Tang Wanqing, but also see the things in the house clearly, and he was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect to see Tang Wanqing's box of hidden medicine so easily, and said in his heart: " I'm so humble, if I knew it was so simple, I should have told that arrogant boy that he would be able to steal the antidote in a day at most, and how much he would have to show his face!". When I heard the maid say, "Miss, the water is ready." Xiaoyun immediately rolled down the roof, pushed open the window, and rushed into Tang Wanqing's boudoir, the three movements seemed to have been practiced hundreds of times, all in one go, even Xiaoyun himself couldn't help admiring himself, "I'm really a thief!
At that moment, he came to the mahogany cabinet softly, saw that it was an ordinary brass lock, and said in his heart: "These people all say that there is something difficult to deal with in the Tang Gate, but I don't think it is necessary, such a lock is used in the place where the antidote is hidden? It was the white cat that Tang Wanqing was holding in her arms when she was killing in front of the Guose Tianxiang Gate, who would have thought that this white cat was the real guardian of this cabinet!
Tang Wanqing, who was bathing, heard the cat's meow, immediately rushed out of the basin, wrapped a robe around her body, pulled out the hairpin on her head in her hand, bare feet, threw out a string of splashes from her long hair, and rushed into the house quickly, but saw that the white cat "Snow Lion" was "meowing, meowing" towards the beam, and there was a small sound and a "squeak" mouse cry from the beam.
Tang Wanqing picked up the snow lion, slapped it lightly on the head, and said with a smile: "Spread the military situation, do you say I should beat you?" The white cat stopped barking after a coquettish "meow".
Xiao Yun lying on the beam of the house has been frightened to the soul, deceived everyone, but lost to this cat at the last moment, if it is not for his own "learning" in the eight tricks of stealing the door, with ventriloquist imitation of rat bark, this is going to capsize in the gutter, this Tang Gate seems to be lax in defense, in fact, it is full of traps, it seems that it is not easy to steal the antidote in the remaining four days!
