Chapter 184: Marriage Notices and Snake Catchers
Leaving the courtyard, Liu Xing returned to the empty room on the east side of the old mansion.
When I entered the house, I saw that Zhang Yaxin had already made the bed, she was sitting at a dilapidated wooden table looking at her laptop, and there was a pot of tea brewing on the table in front of her.
Liu Xing sat across the wooden table: "You still haven't slept so late?"
"I'm used to staying up late. Zhang Yaxin raised her head, "You go to sleep first, you have to hurry tomorrow morning." The two of us are eloping, and Li Zhigang may bring someone over to trouble us, so we can't stay here. β
Liu Xingdao: "Li Zhigang won't work so hard, right?"
"Don't be careless, this is Story City, not Tianhai City. Zhang Yaxin reminded, "Anything can happen in the story city. Many things that you don't normally encounter can happen here, but we have to be careful anyway. β
"Aren't we in love, how do we feel like we're fleeing?"
The teacup was brought to his mouth, and he swallowed it.
As soon as the tea was in his stomach, at this time, the Jiuyang True Qi in Liu Xing's body was suddenly activated, surging violently, and with a bang, the tea came up from his stomach and spit out of his mouth.
"Poof-" Tea splashed on the floor.
"Liu Xing, what's wrong?" Zhang Yaxin asked strangely.
"This tea...... There seems to be a problem. Liu Xing looked at the teacup in his hand, he began to practice "Jiuyang Divine Skill" after he entered the "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and Jiuyang's true qi can not invade a hundred poisons. When he was drinking tea just now, Jiuyang True Qi rebounded the tea out of his body, indicating that the tea was poisonous.
"Something wrong with the tea?" Zhang Yaxin explained. "The tea was provided by the old man Zeng Yufeng, and I have already drunk two cups just now. I didn't think anything was out of the ordinary......"
Just said this, at this time. A feeling of dizziness hit, Zhang Yaxin suddenly felt dizzy, her whole body was abnormally weak, and she lay directly on the table. She propped herself on the table with her hands and tried to get up, only to find that her hands were completely weak.
Seeing this, Liu Xing grabbed Zhang Yaxin's right hand, checked the pulse, and frowned slightly: "Really poisoned......"
"Poisoning?" Zhang Yaxin's face was shocked. "What kind of poison did I get into? Why am I so weak that I can't even stand up......
"It should be a medicine that numbs the muscles and bones. In Liu Xing's mental memory, there are more than 20 kinds of drugs that can make people's muscles and bones soften, such as Shixiang Soft Muscle Powder, Huagu San, Three-color Snake Venom, etc., he is not sure what kind of poison Zhang Yaxin is in for the time being.
"Who poisoned the tea?" Liu Xing said, "The tea was provided by the old man Zeng Yufeng, could it be that he poisoned it?"
Zhang Yaxin's beautiful eyes rolled, remembered something, and said, "I understand." This must be a plot in a romance zone. β
"Plot?"
"Yes. The romance zone in Story City will constantly create various events and provide opportunities for both men and women to enhance their relationship. Zhang Yaxin analyzed, "I am poisoned now, and my whole body is weak. Can't walk at all. According to the plot routine of romance novels, when you rush tomorrow, you will have to carry me on your back. So. The bodies of both men and women will have the opportunity to have intimate contact, which is conducive to increasing the emotional ...... of the two people."
"Let me carry you?" Liu Xing said. "Yaxin, since you can't walk. You stay in Zephyr Village, and tomorrow I will set off by myself. β
Zhang Yaxin bent her eyebrows: "Liu Xing, you won't be ready to leave me alone, right?"
"What else could I do? Do you really want me to carry you on my back? I would never do such a thing. Liu Xing said, "You and I are not related, I have no reason to be so good to you." β
Zhang Yaxin raised her eyebrows: "Who said that it is not a parent, in Story City, I am your fiancΓ©e." Besides, I'm poisoned, so you'll have to find a doctor to detoxify me, right?"
Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "This poison is likely to have been sent by Zeng Yufeng, I'll go to him to get the antidote." After saying that, he got up and left the guest room and went to the bedroom where Zeng Yufeng lived.
After finding the old man Zeng Yufeng, Liu Xing interrogated him several times and found that the other party knew nothing about the poisoning, let alone an antidote.
A few minutes later, Liu Xing and the old man returned to the guest room.
"How can tea be poisonous?" The old man Zeng Yufeng picked up the teapot on the table, carefully looked at the tea leaves in the pot, and after a while, he took out a small lilac dead leaf from the tea leaves, and the old man's face suddenly showed a strange look, "Heart-eroding grass?
Liu Xing asked, "What is the Heart Eater Grass?"
Zeng Yufeng old man introduced: "It is a poisonous weed, after poisoning, people will be sore, weak and weak, if you can't find the antidote within a month, the whole body will be paralyzed, muscles atrophy sharply, until death." When you die, your body will turn into a dried corpse......"
"Dry corpse?" Hearing this, Zhang Yaxin immediately panicked, "What now?"
"Heart-Eater mainly grows in Spirit Snake Mountain, about 15 kilometers north of Xifeng Village, and it is said that there is often a poisonous snake called the purple-crowned green snake near Hearteater. Old Man Zeng Yufeng introduced, "This purple-crowned green snake is a rare poisonous snake, extremely poisonous, but its poison and heart-eroding grass are exactly the same as each other. If you can catch the purple-crowned green snake in Spirit Snake Mountain, you can dissolve the poison of the heart eater. β
"Spirit Snake Mountain?Purple Crowned Green Snake?" Zhang Yaxin's pretty face showed fear, she had always been very afraid of snakes, "Go to Snake Mountain to catch snakes, this is very dangerous, right?"
"It's not just dangerous, it's almost death. The old man Zeng Yufeng said, "There are many poisonous snakes in the Spirit Snake Mountain, and if you don't slip away, you will die of poison." Even professional snake catchers only dare to turn around at the foot of Spirit Snake Mountain, and no one dares to go up the mountain rashly. This heart-eroding grass is located in the depths of the Spirit Snake Mountain, and the purple-crowned green snake cannot be found at all if you don't go up the mountain. β
Liu Xing asked: "According to what you say, Yaxin's poison can't be cured, so you can only wait for death?"
The old man Zeng Yufeng let out a long sigh, his old face was full of guilt, he remembered something, and comforted: "I'll go out to inquire and see if anyone nearby dares to go up the mountain to catch the purple-crowned green snake." Rest in this room first, and I will inform you of the news. β
After speaking, the old man Zeng Yufeng left in a hurry.
"How can this be?" Zhang Yaxin said uneasily, "Do I really want to die here?"
Liu Xing sat down and said, "Obviously. This is another plot in the romance zone. β
Zhang Yaxin was stunned.
Liu Xing then analyzed: "You have now been poisoned by the Heart Erosion Grass, and someone needs to risk their lives to go to the Spirit Snake Mountain to catch the purple-crowned green snake. According to the routine plot of romance novels. I must now bravely go to Spirit Snake Mountain, and after a lot of hardship, I have caught a purple-crowned green snake. Then heal the poison from you. After that, you were deeply touched by my desperate spirit, and then fell in love with me deeply, and we were in a relationship ever since...... That's pretty much it. β
Zhang Yaxin pursed her thin lips and asked in a low voice: "Liu Xing, you won't go to Spirit Snake Mountain to catch snakes to save me, will you?"
"Of course not. Liu Xing said, "How dangerous is Spirit Snake Mountain, nine deaths and one life." A fool will go up the mountain to catch a purple-crowned green snake. β
Zhang Yaxin's willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "You won't really watch me turn into a dry corpse, right?"
"Yaxin, it's not that I won't save you, there's really nothing I can do. Liu Xing confessed, "I don't know you very well, and you're not the girl I like, so I don't have to risk my life!"
Zhang Yaxin was uneasy: "What should I do now? I am really poisoned, my muscles are atrophiing, if I don't detoxify, I will really die." I need to stay in Story City for a month. I can't get out at all now. Liu Xing, you have to find a way to save me......"
Liu Xing touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly stood up. walked up to Zhang Yaxin, put one hand around her thin waist, and the other hand around her legs. Pick her up from the table and place her on the bed.
Done. Liu Xing took out a digital camera from his backpack, aimed it at Zhang Yaxin's body and began to take pictures.
"Liu Xing. What are you doing?"
"Find a way to save you. Liu Xing explained, "You are also a little beautiful, I am going to take a few personal photos for you, upload them to the Internet of Story City, and then post a "Marriage Notice" for you." As long as someone is willing to go up to the Spirit Snake Mountain to capture the purple-crowned green snake to save you, you will marry him as an old woman. With your looks, you may be able to attract some men who are not afraid of death. β
"......" Zhang Yaxin was a little speechless, "Liu Xing, don't mess around, what kind of marriage notice, I don't want to marry anyone." β
Liu Xing enlightened: "Yaxin, now is not the time to be willful, you are almost dying, if you can exchange marriage for a life, it is completely worth it." Everyone must know how to play to their strengths, and your biggest advantage is to be beautiful, so you should use more beauty tricks. β
After speaking, he took the camera, pointed it at Zhang Yaxin, and said, "Come, laugh!"
"......" Zhang Yaxin.
After taking a few specific faces, Liu Xing took a few full-body photos of Zhang Yaxin. After filming, he opened Zhang Yaxin's backpack, took out a white uniform from it, and put it on Zhang Yaxin.
"Liu Xing, what are you doing?"
"All the photos are of the same style of clothing, it's so monotonous, I'm going to take you a picture of a uniform collection. β
ββ¦β¦β
After tossing for a few minutes, Liu Xing took several sets of photos of Zhang Yaxin, and after that, he really uploaded the photos to the Internet of Story City and gave Zhang Yaxin a marriage notice.
"Dizzy, did you really send out the marriage notice?"
"Of course, if you can succeed, you can not only save your life, but also find you a wishful husband, double happiness, this is a good thing!"
After the marriage notice was published, soon, some netizens in Story City reacted and left messages on the Internet.
1st floor: "Such a beautiful girl was actually poisoned by the heart-eroding grass, what a shame!
2nd floor: "Purple-crowned green snake, this is the most venomous snake in Spirit Snake Mountain! If you touch it, you won't die, who dares to go up the mountain? Unless the black shadow man goes out in person!"
3rd floor: "I have been catching snakes for more than 30 years, and I still dare not go up to the Spirit Snake Mountain, there are snake caves everywhere in that place, and going to it is equivalent to death!"
β¦β¦
The beautie's marriage notice is really attractive, and there are more than 1,200 messages in four hours, half of which are praising Zhang Yaxin's good looks, and the other half are lamenting the high toxicity of the purple-crowned green snake.
As for the message that I want to go up the mountain to catch snakes, there is not a single one.
"The men in Story City are really sensible, and no one is fascinated by your beauty. Liu Xing said, "Could it be that the few sets of photos I took are not seductive enough?"
"......," Zhang Yaxin said, "Liu Xing, you quickly take down the marriage notice." Spirit Snake Mountain is so terrifying, who dares to go up and catch snakes......"
Liu Xing reminded: "Isn't there a dark shadow man in the story city?"
"That shadow man is an impostor. Zhang Yaxin said. "What's more, the Dark Shadow Man is not in the romance zone. It's the reasoning area......"
As he spoke, a man walked briskly into the room.
The man in his early thirties, wearing a pair of glasses, is Li Zhigang.
"Yaxin, I heard that you were poisoned?" Li Zhigang's face was full of anxiety.
"You're very well-informed. Liu Xing introduced, "Yaxin has been poisoned by the heart eater, and she may not live for more than a month." β
"How can this be?" Li Zhigang was anxious.
Liu Xing patted Li Zhigang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. There is still a way to save her. As long as someone is willing to go to Spirit Snake Mountain to catch a venomous snake called the Purple Crowned Green Snake, Yaxin can be saved. β
"Spirit Snake Mountain?" Li Zhigang didn't think about it, so he said, "I'll go to Spirit Snake Mountain." Yaxin, don't worry, I will definitely save you......"
Liu Xing reminded: "If you really want Spirit Snake Mountain, you'd better write a will first. β
"What do you mean?"
"There are many poisonous snakes in Spirit Snake Mountain, and if you go, you may lose your life. Liu Xing said.
Li Zhigang's face changed slightly: "Is it really so dangerous?"
Liu Xing said: "If you don't want to die young, I advise you not to go." β
Li Zhigang's throat moved. swore and said: "As long as I can save Yaxin, go up the knife mountain, and go down to the sea of fire, I will not give up." Yahin. You recuperate here, wait for my good news! I will definitely catch the purple crown and green snake to save you!"
After a few more words, Li Zhigang decided to go to Spirit Snake Mountain.
Zhang Yaxin wanted to stop him. It's a pity that it can't be stopped at all.
β¦β¦
After this vignette. Everything is calm again.
Zhang Yaxin was weak due to poisoning. Unable to walk, confined to bed every day.
As the marriage notice spread on the Internet, many people in the romance area of Story City knew about Zhang Yaxin's poisoning and her marriage.
It's just that Spirit Snake Mountain is too dangerous, and no one dares to go to it at all.
Zhang Yaxin is completely hopeless, she is trying to find a way to contact the management of Story City, hoping to leave Story City immediately and return to the hospital in Tianhai City to detoxify.
Unfortunately, her love practice class in Story City lasted for a month, and she couldn't contact the management of Story City until the end of the practice class.
In this way, Zhang Yaxin could only survive one day at a time, and the only person who accompanied her was Liu Xing.
Liu Xing didn't go anywhere during the day, he stayed in the old mansion in Xifeng Village every day, checking the Internet every day.
Eleven days passed, and there was no news.
It wasn't until the morning of the twelfth day that the old man Zeng Yufeng suddenly brought a shocking news.
"Good news, good news!" Early in the morning, the old man Zeng Yufeng ran into the room and said happily, "I have found the purple-crowned green snake!"
Zhang Yaxin, who was lying on the bed, was puzzled: "Uncle Zeng, what did you say?"
Old Man Zeng Yufeng said happily: "This morning, someone sent a box, which contained a purple-crowned green snake that had just been caught. The snake has already been taken to boil medicine, girl, in another seven hours, the poison on your body will be cured. β
Zhang Yaxin was stunned: "Who sent the purple-crowned green snake?"
Old man Zeng Yufeng shook his head: "The snake is in a box, and the box is placed at the gate of my house, and I saw it when I went out in the morning." I can't imagine that anyone would dare to go up to Spirit Snake Mountain, what a good skill!"
After reporting the good news, the old man rushed to boil the medicine again.
Zhang Yaxin was stunned at the head of the bed, her mind was full of doubts, she thought that it was impossible for anyone to dare to go up the mountain to catch snakes, but she didn't expect that someone really sent the purple-crowned green snake.
"Liu Xing, who do you say caught this snake?" Zhang Yaxin couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter who caught the snake now, it's important that you are mentally prepared to be a bride. Liu Xing reminded, "It has been clearly written on the marriage notice, if anyone dares to go up the mountain to catch the purple-crowned golden snake for you, you will marry whomever you want." I estimate that in two days, this snake catcher may come to the door to propose. β
"......" Zhang Yaxin chuckled in her heart, is she really going to get married?
