She waved her hand, didn't ask Jiang Lang to continue, and immediately said, "You guys come with me." ”

"Yes. ”

She took Jiang Lang and Qi Qing straight to Chen Jiaoer's courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she couldn't help but reach out and cover her mouth and nose. That's right, this disgusting smell hidden under the medicinal fragrance is the smell of rotting flesh and blood!

Jiang Lang and Qi Qing were most familiar with this taste, and when they looked at each other, they both frowned, and subconsciously protected her in front of her. One of them said: "This smell seems to come from the back kitchen." ”

Chen Jiaoer's door was wide open, and there was indeed nothing unusual inside. When she said so, she pushed her.

She took the lead and walked towards the kitchen at the back of the yard. Jiang Lang escorted her by two steps slowly. The closer the three of them got to the kitchen, the stronger the smell became. The heavy medicinal fragrance seemed to deliberately want to hide the sour smell, but the combination of the two phases made people suffocate and nauseate.

Qi Qing originally wanted to push the kitchen door open, but was suddenly stopped by a figure.

It was Liu Er who used her body to protect the kitchen door tightly, and said in a panic: "Chen Zhen'er...... Master Zheng, why are you here?"

Jiang Lang pulled Qi Qing and didn't ask him to break in.

She said to Liu Er calmly: "I just walked by the door, and I accidentally smelled a strange smell in this courtyard, thinking that Sister Jiao'er was busy in front of me, so I came in to take a look on her behalf." Liu'er, you've been in the courtyard all the time, haven't you smelled it?"

Liu Er was guarding the door of this kitchen, but when they came over just now, they were in the dead corner of the line of sight, and they didn't see Liu Er at first. At this time, since Liu Er was guarding the door of this kitchen, she had already made it clear that there must be something strange in this kitchen. She also asked, and Liu Er didn't know how to answer for a while, but she always used her body to firmly block in front of this door, not letting them approach.

She said, "Liu'er, get out of the way, let's go in and have a look together." ”

Liu Er said in a panic: "The master of the concubine means that there is a smell of medicine in this courtyard? Recently, the slaves and maids have been decocting medicine for my master in this courtyard......"

She shook her head and said, "In addition to the smell of medicine, there seems to be a ...... The weather is getting cooler, and I'm afraid that some rats are in a hurry to come out to eat for the winter. Don't be a dead rat in the kitchen. ”

"Yes, yes, the slave maid was about to decoct the medicine for her master in the morning, and found that a mouse had died in the kitchen......" Liu Er hurriedly replied to her words.

She smiled and said, "I think there are only girls in your yard, and you are too timid to go in and clean up, right?" but if the dead rats don't take it, don't make you sick and even more harmful." Liu'er, you better get out of the way, Jiang Lang and Qi Qing are bold, let them go in and clean up the mice. ”

"This ......" Liu Er was willing to get out of the way, but for a while, he couldn't think of a suitable word.

She glanced at Jiang Lang and Qi Qing. Jiang Lang let go of Qi Qing, and the two stepped forward together. Jiang Lang first pulled Liu Er away in a measured manner, and Qi Qing pushed it away...... Can't push it away?

The kitchen door looked like it had been stuck. Qi Qing couldn't push it away with all her dead strength, and she took two steps back and bumped into it, but she couldn't hit it.

She stepped forward in two steps, stopped Qi Qing from continuing to bang on the door, knocked lightly on the door, and whispered to the inside: "Is there anyone inside? Ping'er, are you in Ping'er? Open the door quickly." ”

As soon as Liu Er heard her calling Ping'er inside, her heart suddenly sank, it turned out that she knew everything...... Seeing that the matter was revealed, Liu Er calmed down a little. Taking advantage of Jiang Lang's attention also at the kitchen door, Liu Er suddenly shook off Jiang Lang and ran out.

Jiang Lang wanted to chase, but was stopped by her, "No need to chase." ”

Then she asked Jiang Lang and Qi Qing, "Listen, is there any movement inside?"

Both of them listened quietly and carefully for a moment, Jiang Lang shook his head, and Qi Qing further put his ear to the door, and listened for a moment before saying, "Although it is very light, there is indeed an exhalation sound inside." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief, but her brow furrowed tightly. Judging by Liu'er's reaction, Ping'er should be inside, otherwise they made such a big noise, and Ping'er should have come to see it elsewhere in this house. But she had just called Ping'er so many times, and there was no response from inside, and Ping'er's condition made her even more worried.

It seems that Ping'er locked herself inside, and I don't know how long she has been hiding inside. If Ping'er had been hiding in it since that day, and Ping'er hadn't eaten a grain of rice or a drop of water in the past five or six days? The main thing is the unpleasant smell. What does it mean that Ping'er locks herself in this house for five or six days and doesn't want to come out? This smell is not like a person who doesn't take a bath for five or six days will stink so much, even if Ping'er can't stand it in this house...... None of the excrement smells so bad. Or Ping'er happened to have a menstrual affair, and there was no way to cook here......

Hey, why should she deceive herself, it was obvious that Ping'er was hurt by something...... Very serious injury! I haven't treated it for five or six days, and the wound is rotting! Fortunately, I heard the sound of exhalation inside my ears, and fortunately Ping'er should still be alive.

She shook her head, time was short, and immediately instructed Jiang Lang and Qi Qing: "Jiang Lang, you want to think of something, see if there is any way to open this door." Listen carefully, don't fall at this door, if you break the door violently, I'm afraid of hurting her. ”

This is also the reason why she stopped Qi Qing first and continued to hit the door. Chen Jiaoer's kitchen in this yard should be similar to the structure in her yard from the outside. There is not much space in it, there should be only a simple stove, there is a small skylight on the top of the stove for lighting and exhausting, a table, a shelf, and some simple kitchen needs are placed on the shelves. And neither the table nor the shelf are too light to hold against this door. Qi Qing's strength is quite strong, and she just took two steps back to hit it hard, but this door did not move at all. There should be something heavier against this door. All she could think of was that Ping'er used a wooden shelf to get stuck at the door first, and then leaned against the other end.

Of course, if Qi Qing used more force to hit it, the screen at that end should have been unconscious, and he would be able to knock this door open. But at the same time, the wooden shelf stuck in the doorway will smash into Ping'er's body along with the door. Where can Ping'er stand such a while.

When she heard her order, she didn't put her ear to the door to listen again, but greeted Jiang Lang. The two of them came to the wall in tacit understanding, and when she took a step, Jiang Lang stepped on it, looked in through the skylight, and immediately shouted, "I saw Ping'er! ”
