Chapter 029: Who Is He
Xiaoxing and I were both surprised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSomeone suddenly appeared behind us without noticing.
In an instant, Xiaoxing's immature smile changed into a cold and fierce color. He shook out his sleeves and struck at the man behind me with lightning bolts.
With his "let go", the hand that had just slapped me on the shoulder quickly detached from my shoulder and stepped back again and again.
I look back to see who was so bold.
But he saw that Xiao Xing was like a gust of wind attacking left and right, and the man was only on guard, and he had no power to fight back.
"Little brother, don't do it, there is no malice in the bottom. ”
I saw that he was the old man who recognized me in the pharmacy yesterday, and I wondered.
"Xiaoxing, stop. ”
I can't imagine that Xiaoxing's martial arts at a young age are already not to be underestimated, no wonder Nan Ronglie would let him protect me.
Hearing me stop, Xiao Xing's blade slashing towards the old man's neck suddenly retracted its strength, and the two short knives turned beautifully in his hand and held it back.
"Sister, why did you stop?"
"I know him. Let's hear what he's looking for us first!" I reached out and straightened out the corner of Xiaoxing's clothes, and looked at the frightened old man.
The old man lowered his flabby eyelids, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to me: "Girl, there is no malice here, can you take a step to speak!" He looked around, and three or two people stopped to look at us.
I nodded, it was really inconvenient to talk here.
Feng Changwen told me that the old man is not a good person. However, he recognized me as Ling Caiwei and knew Mo Chenyan, and I always felt that there would be something I wanted to know about him.
Actually, the purpose of bringing Xiaoxing out was also to go to the pharmacy to find him. Since he showed up on his own, it couldn't have been better, just what I wanted.
Xiaoxing's martial arts are above him, and he dares to do anything to us.
"Lead the way!"
The old man's face was surprised, obviously not expecting me to agree to him so happily. Then he stretched out his hand with some excitement and pointed to an alley next to the street: "Please follow me!"
I made eye contact with Xiao Xing, and the knife in Xiao Xing's hand changed his grip, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Xiaoxing and I followed the old man one after the other and turned a few corners in the alley and came to a house.
The old man knocked on the door three times, waited for a while, knocked two more times, and someone inside answered and opened the door.
The door creaked open, and a figure flashed out of the knife light inside, and I pulled Xiaoxing to retreat to both sides of the door with a quick response, dodging the attack. At the same time, Xiaoxing flashed his weapon and greeted him.
I only heard the old man stop: "Stop, my own people." ”
When the reckless figure heard this, he immediately collected his weapon and retreated to the door, and Xiaoxing was also pulled behind me by me.
The old man told us to go in first, and he looked at both sides of the alley to make sure that no one was following, and then went into the courtyard and closed the door.
I saw clearly that the shadow was a strong man twice as tall as Xiaoxing, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a simple expression, and stood aside obediently when he saw the old man. He didn't look at me or Xiaoxing from the beginning.
For some reason, when I entered this courtyard, my heart was beating in a trance, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if I couldn't control myself.
I vigilantly took out the poison I had prepared in the morning, ready to deal with the emergency.
The courtyard is not big, it is a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and there is a big tree in the middle of the outer courtyard that has lost its leaves.
Pushing open the door, a strong smell of herbs came to my face, and I don't know who was sick.
Glancing at the layout of the room by the light, it was just an ordinary hall.
The old man closed the door, and his vision became dim.
"Miss Ling, please take a seat. The old man very politely invited me to the hall to symbolize the position of honored guest, and although I was wary, I pretended to appreciate the seat. Xiaoxing sat next to me.
The old man clapped his hands, and a maid came out to serve tea and snacks.
I stopped Xiaoxing's hand that was about to take a snack with my eyes, and asked the old man, "Now that this place is hidden, what can you say directly?" How do you know who I am?"
The old man took a sip of the tea slowly, raised his head and said, "Miss Ling, don't worry, let's talk about it after drinking tea, the girl is good at using poison, you can smell it yourself, there is no poison in the tea." ”
Hmph! Sure enough, I came prepared and investigated my affairs clearly. I just don't know if it's friend or foe?
Xiaoxing consulted me and seemed to be thirsty.
There was no poison in the tea, and I handed my cup to Xiaoxing: "Drink me this." ”
Xiaoxing obediently drank the tea dry.
The old man shook his head and smiled when he saw me so cautious.
"I don't know what the old man is called?" I asked him.
"Everyone in the clan calls me Elder Li, and Miss Ling calls me that. ”
"Elder Li, dare I ask which clan you are?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Xiaoxing suddenly fell to the ground.
"Little Star. I pounced on him and picked him up, one hand on his pulse and the other on his snort. I was annoyed at my carelessness.
Elder Li walked over: "He's fine, he's just asleep, and he will naturally wake up in two hours!"
I glared angrily, "What do you mean by that?"
His face was solemn, and he apologized to me: "Miss Ling, don't be weird. It's just that there are some things that the less he knows, the safer. It's also for his good. ”
I helped Xiaoxing up, let him lie on the table, and forcibly asked in my heart, "What is the matter with Elder Li? Why do you have to be so mysterious? Also, how could he be poisoned? That cup of tea is just ordinary flower tea." ”
Elder Li smiled: "Tea is indeed no problem. He's allergic to the smell of herbs! This is the sacred herb of our clan, Pepsi. ”
It turns out that this is the problem.
"Oh, but why does this herb only work for him?"
"Because Miss Ling has the blood of our patriarch in her body, she is immune to this herb!"
"Who is your patriarch?"
Elder Li gave me a deep look, then turned around and walked towards the back room.
"Girl, please come with me. ”
I glanced at Xiaoxing, who was still asleep, and Elder Li comforted me, "He's fine, don't worry." If you want to harm him, you don't use Pepsi. ”
I followed him into a bedroom, wondering why I couldn't sense Pepsi's toxicity.
He stopped, got out of the way, and I froze.
There was a man lying on the bed in front of him. His long hair hung down behind the pillow, his long eyelashes covered his eyes, and his thin lips were pale and colorless under his broad nose.
His hands were clasped to his chest, and he was dressed in white.
My heart jumped again unresponsively, faster and faster, my throat was dry, my legs were weak, and I felt like the blood in my body was flowing backwards.
Who is he?
I turned my head with difficulty and looked at Elder Li.
But he couldn't speak.
For some reason, I could feel his breathing, faintly almost stopping the next moment. I could feel his heartbeat, slow and weak, but like a drowning man's dying struggle, never giving up.
He was so familiar and so close. But I don't know who he is!
It was as if a voice was calling my name: "Vielle, Vier, Vier." ”
I closed my eyes, but for some reason two lines of hot tears flowed from my cheeks.
And he, he seems to be able to feel my presence. I could clearly see a teardrop slip out of the corner of his eye.
I heard my own hoarse voice sound, and I asked the sentence in my heart with difficulty: "Who is he?"
