Chapter 445: Grievances and Grudges (10)
The aroma of Acacia Poison was unusually strong and rich when it was first concocted, but its antidote was the opposite, and when the final product came out, in just an instant, an extremely spicy smell spread throughout the courtyard - and behold, it seemed to continue to spread outward.
So, when Tianzhan Jianghe returned to the mansion after descending from the court, he smelled this smell far away before he stepped into the courtyard, his face couldn't help but turn blue, and he subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"
The housekeeper next to him looked innocent: "Madame has been boiling all kinds of herbs for the past two days, sometimes the smell is unpleasant, sometimes the stench is unbearable, but it is rarely like this today...... Rushed. ”
The corners of Zhan Jianghe's mouth twitched, and he said, "She's in the yard." ”
"Yes, Madame has been in the yard today and has not come out. ”
“……”
Zhan Jianghe only felt that his braincase hurt for a moment.
Yes, he took the little girl to his general's mansion with a responsible idea at the beginning, but who knew that this girl looked just soft and weak before, and after she was really familiar with it, her true nature was exposed, and the whole thing could make him have a headache to death.
- But he was reluctant to fight, and it didn't work to scold, and sometimes he even wonderfully thought that her lively appearance was quite funny.
Thinking about it like this, Zhan Jianghe felt that his brain was really poisoned by this little girl, and he even felt that she was very pleasant to watch.
He held his forehead a little helplessly, and raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard under the watchful eye of the butler.
Xiaotu sat at the stone table in the courtyard, on which were the pot of orchids that she had always looked very precious and a small bowl of blue and white porcelain.
As soon as Zhan Jianghe entered, he met Xiaotu's eyes, and the little girl's eyes lit up as soon as she swished, and she stood up with a smile to greet her: "You're back." ”
Zhan Jianghe nodded flatly, his eyes fell on the small bowl of blue and white porcelain that was the source of the unbearable smell in the air, and couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
Xiao Tu followed his line of sight, took the small bowl from the good past and sent it to Zhan Jianghe, and said, "No, I'll give you something to drink." ”
“……”
Zhan Jianghe stared at the unknown object in the small bowl that didn't look very tasty speechlessly, the tip of his nose was filled with the pungent smell, and finally he couldn't hold back the "whoosh" and jumped to the roof with a light effort, decisively refused.
"Don't drink it. ”
Xiaotu raised his head and looked at him from afar, and then his eyes gradually turned red.
Before Zhan Jianghe could react, her tears began to fall.
She raised her hand and put the small bowl back on the table, and sat down on the stone bench next to her and began to feel aggrieved.
"It's been a long time. ”
"I finally made it myself. ”
"I burned my fingers a few times. ”
……
She babbled and chattered, and the rivers on the roof were very tangled when she listened to them, and her eyes unconsciously drifted to her fingers that seemed to be burned.
Finally, he relented, jumped down from the roof and stood next to Xiaotu, his eyes first slipped around her hand and he was relieved when he found that there was no wound on her hand, and then said helplessly: "Don't cry." ”
Xiaotu ignored him, and stopped chattering, just shed tears.
Zhan Jianghe's heart became more and more helpless.
The little girl's body was already weak, although she had raised some in the General's Mansion in the past two days, her body, which had been weak for several years, could not be raised for a while.
At this time, the little face was a little pale, and the aggrieved Bala shed tears, and a pair of clear and bright eyes in the past looked foggy at this time, and the eyes were red, looking pitiful.
Zhan Jianghe only felt that his heart was sour and soft, he was really distressed, so he stepped forward and skillfully hugged the little girl into his arms, rubbed her hair and said: "Why do you look more and more like a child, cry when you say you cry." ”
Xiaotu didn't speak, blinking at him with red eyes.
Zhan Jianghe: "Okay, okay, I'll just drink it." ”
This little look is really ......
He replied helplessly, wrinkled his nose and picked up the small bowl on the table, his face looking a little green.
Xiao Tu didn't know when he stopped crying, and watched Zhan Jianghe hold the bowl close to his mouth.
Zhan Jianghe's eyes swept the expectant look on her face, hesitated slightly, and then drank the whole thing in the bowl.
However, the potion gradually entered the body along the throat, and the hot and intense pain spread from the limbs and bones in an instant, followed by the itch of digging bones and scratching the heart.
Zhan Jianghe bit the tip of his tongue, lowered his head to settle down, and looked down at Xiaotu.
The little girl was looking at herself with her eyes open, and her eyes were still clear and bright, which still made him like it very much.
He couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment, and reluctantly asked, "What is this?"
Xiao Tu's eyes widened slightly, and he stared at his eyes seriously and said, "Why aren't you angry?"
“……”
Zhan Jianghe only felt that the itch in his bones was becoming more and more unbearable, and his mind seemed to be a little chaotic.
He only listened to the little girl ask him why he wasn't angry, and subconsciously hooked the corners of his lips and asked, "Why am I angry?"
Xiaotu bit his lip: "Aren't you worried that I will poison you?"
Zhan Jianghe was a little funny in his heart.
I've never seen poisoning and asked like this.
However, he didn't answer Xiaotu's question, and suddenly asked, "Did you change the incense?"
Xiao Tu was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't keep up with his jumping thoughts: "Huh?
Zhan Jianghe buried his head in Xiaotu's neck and sniffed deeply, drops of sweat seeped out of his body, and the middle clothes on his body were a little slimy.
"No, I remember you didn't have the fragrance of peach blossoms before......"
His faint voice fell like a murmur in the ear of the little earth, softly, itchyly, like a feather.
"It used to be like an orchid...... Ah, by the way, your pot of orchids......"
Zhan Jianghe's consciousness was actually a little unclear, he just remembered what he was doing now, and he subconsciously muttered in his mouth.
Xiao Tu listened, and was stunned for a moment, just before Zhan Jianghe was about to fall into a coma, he heard her laugh very softly.
"Yes, it used to be an orchid, but now it's a peach blossom. ”
——————————————
When Zhan Jianghe opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in the courtyard, and even his posture was maintained in the posture of holding Xiaotu half before he fell into a coma.
Looking at the sky, it didn't seem that much time had passed.
He blinked a little dazedly, then let go of his hand, and Xiao Tu opened his eyes in a daze: "Ah, you woke up, how do you feel?"
Zhan Jianghe stared at her little face that was still sleepy, and his expression was a little unpredictable for a while.
