Chapter 63: Poisoned Water
readx;?“ Uncle, have you ever seen this girl in the painting?"
"Auntie, have you seen the girl in the painting again?"
"Brother Tai ......"
Dusk dyes the whole land red, for people who are rich in life, this red is orange red, for people who wear armor all the year round and look at the border, this red is blood red, and for Ning Caichen, this red is the red of fire, burning all the way from the feet into the heart, and then burning all the way back to the feet from the heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infow?ww?.
He ran through all the streets of Kyoto with the scroll of poems written on it, asking everyone he could ask, but all he got was shaking his head.
No.
Can't find it.
Ning Caichen's clothes were already soaked, and he was so thirsty that he came to a well in despair, wanting to beg for water.
This well was unguarded at dusk, and Ning Caichen, who was dizzy from heat and tired, and Ning Caichen, who was even more dizzy from the scorched and cracked throat and heart and lungs, poured a bucket of water from the well without hindrance.
The sunset was red, but the color it reflected when it shone into the bucket of water had a faint green tinge.
The well water is green.
How is well water green?
If there is a little sanity, no one will ignore this, however, Ning Caichen at this moment is obviously not among them.
"Water...... Water ......"
After the war, Ning Caichen's life only rotated between the palace and the mansion, so he did not know the difficulty of drinking water in the city, and he did not once witness the scene of the residents worrying about drinking water every day, and the long queues and even the big fights.
It's ironic, a person in a high position doesn't know anything about the people's livelihood even in front of his door, maybe he will have tasted the dragon well presented by the servant before this day, and he will have a remark that 'the water quality in the capital is good'.
Such an official should really let him drink the 'well water of the capital' himself......
However, his lips still failed to touch the green glow of the well water.
"Smack!"
A stone shot out of nowhere hit the barrel, and the latter exploded like a piece of paper, and the well water flowed to the ground.
"Who?"
Ning Caichen's eyes were bloodshot, his hands still maintained the posture of holding the bucket, he didn't see where the stones came from, and he could even say that he didn't even know what external force the bucket was broken by.
He only knew that there was a master nearby, and this master was also eyeing him.
He guessed that the disappearance of the Fu sisters should have something to do with this master.
"Is it Mr. Moxie?"
He pressed his hand to his chest, where there was a wooden mask.
"Yes, it's me. ”
At the base of a wall, a voice sounded, but when Ning Caichen looked over, he didn't see even half a figure.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, because he knew that as long as a master of Mo Ye's level was willing, he would never let a powerless scholar like him see through the tracks.
"Where is Miss Fu?"
Ning Caichen's voice was hoarse, as if he was asking about the air in front of him.
"No comment. ”
The voice rang out again.
"What do you want?"
Giving up all the vanity and grievances, Ning Caichen's every word was very direct.
"What can you give?"
Compared to the previous statement, this time the voice answered a question.
"All I could give, all she wanted. ”
Only a few rounds of questions and answers have swapped places, if you want to talk about winning or losing, Ning Caichen has already lost from this sentence, right?
"She doesn't seem to like staying in the Ning Mansion, nor does she like to stay in the capital. ”
The voice said.
"I know. ”
Ning Caichen remembered the letter left by Fu Qingfeng, and his heart was full of thanks and farewell words like a stranger, and he didn't say a word about their relationship.
"Then don't look for her. ”
The voice said.
“……”
The conversation seemed to be broken, and Ning Caichen didn't speak again for a long time.
"The water in the city is polluted, and this well would be a good choice if you want to die. Leave. ”
The other side of the conversation took the lead in ending the topic, leaving Ning Caichen alone still stunned by the well.
The sun had sunset, and all those who had stood in the setting had stepped into the night.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Mo Ye had eaten in the restaurant, and it was already dark outside, but he was in no hurry to earn points.
"Can 'Baiwormqing' really only rely on natural degradation......
He tapped a telegram with one finger on the table as he made contact with the Holy Text.
"Oh, see for yourself. ”
The Holy Book threw him an exchange list, which included all kinds of potions that could neutralize the 'Hundred Worm Clear', but without exception, they were several times the total net worth of Mo Xie at this moment.
"It takes a year for natural degradation to ......"
This matter had already been clarified by Mo Xie after the battle that night, and it stands to reason that the lives of civilians in this world have nothing to do with him, an outsider, and even Yan Chixia, who is a 'local', did not care much about civilian casualties when she shot on the night of the battle.
If you still tie yourself to the big demon who is stronger than you, the outcome will definitely be defeat.
Therefore, Mo Xie has never regretted the past of taking out that kind of 'biochemical weapon' to use.
"Forget it, it's useless to think so much, there are so many capable people in this world, since the royal family can ask those Taoist priests to set up a formation that reverses the stars, it must not be difficult to get rid of this bit of poison, right?"
The shyness of the pocket is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is not only the shyness of the pocket, but also the owe a large amount of foreign debt.
Mo Xie didn't have the strength to help the people in Kyoto City.
Getting up, Mo Xie walked downstairs to settle today's account.
"Guest officer, it's better not to go out tonight, from this afternoon onwards, the city patrol team doesn't know that they have taken the wrong medicine, and they are arresting people everywhere. If it weren't for the shopkeeper who could still say a few words on the side of the city patrol team, I'm afraid someone would have come in and searched for it. ”
The account room behind the counter was already familiar with Mo Ye, and when he saw that Mo Ye had the intention of going out, he immediately persuaded him.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Mo Xie threw an extra piece of silver to the counter.
He turned his back to the counter and faced the street, and the toss was accurate and pretentious. The bookkeeper thought that the silver was in danger of falling to the ground, and was about to reach out to catch it, but the silver slipped through his outstretched hands and landed squarely in the center of the table.
"If that white-haired man comes to the store, don't skimp on drinks, it's all in my account, it's a deposit. ”
Mo Xie said.
He walked out without looking back, like a knife man on a death date.
