Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Horror Pigeon Gets Taboo

It was nearly the middle of the night, and there was really a change on the Chase Bunk of the stove room, and a thin figure climbed down the bunk with the moonlight on his back, and rushed to the thatched house outside the stove with a fire-fighting cadence before he had time to slip on his shoes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info After a while, he came back with a peculiar smell and trembling, but before he could do so, he hurriedly got off the bunk and ran outside, and after a few tosses, the maids in the whole room woke up, and held the fire candle to see what was wrong, and at this moment the thin maid had locked a bleak white face, and lay on her side with her stomach and couldn't speak.

"What's the matter, is it bad to eat?" the maids were also anxious, and the smell of drowning all over the room penetrated their nostrils.

"But we all eat the same, why are you the only one who leaks like this!"

The thin maid's eyes opened and closed slightly, beads of sweat hung on her forehead, no matter how others called her, there was no movement, Chu Meng hurriedly went to shake her hand, but found that her thin hands were cold, everyone was frightened, and quickly trembled to touch her snort, and then breathed a sigh of relief, the snort still existed but the body seemed to be too weak. Everyone had never been in such a hurry, and they were gossiping to call her soul back, and some people were going to cry. Chu Meng's brows were also anxiously oozing a layer of hot sweat, but in the chaotic crowd, he commanded Ruoding: "Go and prepare some hot water, half of it will be rubbed for her to warm her body, and the other will be mixed with some salt for her to drink." Then go to my sister to see if there is any ready-made medicine to take, and for the sake of today's plan, I will stop this leak first. ”

The maidservants were about to go, but the thin maid grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hand that raised slightly with all her strength, and said hoarsely: "Mo ...... Don't go to the procurement office to get the medicine......"

When everyone saw that she was finally able to respond, their clenched hearts relaxed for the most part, and they persuaded again: "How can this be done! You have already collapsed! How can you not take medicine?" Chu Meng thought for a while, "Don't you have any hardships that are afraid of being exposed?"

The thin maid raised a finger, bowed over and pointed at herself, and with great difficulty approached her mouth, and said in a voice like a fly: "I...... I stole food......"

There was an uproar among the maids, everyone knew that the more arrogant was a taboo for the maids, and they all complained about how the thin maids could do such a shameless thing, and the noisy and noisy people still drank in the first dream: "Don't quarrel! This is not the time to complain, we are all partners who get along day and night, eat and live together, share weal and woe, we don't help her at this moment, who can help her! Fat sister, go and pour hot water and salt water first, everyone put out the candles, and move lightly!"

The maidservants were stunned by this shout, and then went out to pour the receipt for the water, cut the candle, and methodically cleaned up the aftermath. Chu Meng knelt on the bunk, put a cushion on his lap, so that the thin maid could lean on the ground more comfortably, when the water came, Chu Meng took the thin maid's shoulder and gently lifted it up, little by little carefully fed her slow drink, the thin maid drank a few sips, bowed her head slightly, signaled that it was enough, and then fell down again, fortunately only smashed her head on the cushion prepared in advance by Chu Meng. The moonlight shone on the thin maid's pale little face, which made her even more depressed, but fortunately she was already able to speak in her mouth, and she only heard her say quietly: "I...... Stealing food...... Miss...... ...... to be poured out Roast pigeon ......"

"Roast pigeon?" everyone said the name of the dish again with a suspicious expression. Someone suddenly said: "The roast pigeon that Miss returned and poured back didn't move, did she ask you to eat it?"

The thin maid's pale face was red and spicy, and she showed a rather strange complexion in the moonlight, and said, "Yes...... I don't think the pigeon is a vulgar thing...... What a waste...... Miss She doesn't enjoy ...... Why don't I eat it......"

After hearing this, everyone looked hateful and said, "What are you doing eating that thing! There should be retribution!" The sound of ridicule stopped Chu Meng, who pondered for a moment and said, "Where did the leftover pigeon go?"

"In ...... Outside the stove room...... Swill in the corner...... In the bucket, the white cloth is covered with ......"

Chumeng sent the maid to fetch the remains of the pigeon, the maid was very puzzled but did so, and the hot water basin was also brought into the house, Chumeng commanded everyone to wipe the thin maid, turned over to the bunk, took out a cloth bag in the small wooden compartment at the bedside, and unfolded it to pick out a silver needle against the moonlight, and the silver needle was shining with a dazzling cold light.

The maidservant who went out to fetch the pigeon came back with a plate, and when she entered the door, she said: "You thin man, you eat it and call it clean, so that I can find it all the way, there are only a few bones and meat crumbs left!" and asked in the crowd, "What is the first dream girl going to do?"

"Test the poison. ”

Everyone gasped, but when they saw the dazzling silver needle in Chu Meng's hand, they knew that she was not joking. I saw that the first dream decisively pierced the silver needle into the flesh and bone of the pigeon's shell, and pulled it out again, and in the moonlight, everyone held their breath and concentrated their eyes on the thin silver needle, and their hearts trembled violently.

"This pigeon is poisonous!" The maid with the dish screamed, and almost dropped the dish to the ground, and the person could not stand still, but sat on the bunk, and everyone hurried to cover her mouth and remind her to make a small noise. The first dream beckoned the maid to take some leftover dishes from other ladies' lunch to test the poison, and the maid who rushed out of the door to pick up the vegetables was already the six gods without the owner, and brought a few plates of residues, the first dream carried everyone's more frightened and timid eyes to pierce the silver needle, and pulled it out, waited for a while, but did not change color, but saw that the maidservants' faces were mixed, and the first dream was more suspicious, the flowers were frozen, regardless of everyone's surprise and dissuasion, picked up a bone, frowned and sniffed, the pupils flowed, and felt that the smell was quite familiar, it seemed to be a medicine for drowning, but she couldn't tell everyone about it。

"Fortunately, it's just a diarrhea, and the medicine is not much. Chu Meng said, "If there are more doses, it is unknown if there will be a lot of death." ”

The maidservants discussed: "The roast pigeon was named by Miss Wei Zhen, fortunately Miss Wei Zhen did not eat, but Miss Wei Zhen has just arrived, who is trying to harm her?"

"Someone wants to poison and stab, this matter is not trivial, if you don't report it to the master, if something really happens today, we can't afford it. ”

"But in this way, isn't it equivalent to selling thinness!"

"Then who wants to harm Miss Wei Zhen?"

Chu Meng said: "Let's not make a noise about this matter for the time being, if we take the liberty of reporting it to the master, in the end, it will be picketed down, or the stove room will bear it." Although the first dream is not long, but these days with the sisters to get along, I believe that no one between us will do such a thing, and lunch time in the stove room is mixed, mixed with the evil people do not know, we look at tomorrow, tomorrow the stove room will not allow outsiders to enter, everyone to prepare dishes to supervise each other, I will go to pass the dish will also be extra cautious, we but check which link is wrong. ”

The next day, there was restlessness in the stove room, the thin maid had nothing to laxate in the first half of the night, although she did not take medicine, but after a night of care, she was relieved, fortunately, there were many maids in the stove room, in and out, and one less person was inconspicuous. When he was young, the old imperial kitchen came to the stove room to prepare the morning food, but saw that the maids were haggard one by one, not smiling, and the atmosphere in the stove room was not as warm as before.

At noon, the lunch began to spread, and the hearts of the people gathered together. Chu Meng took at least the wooden case of the vegetable plate, and said solemnly: "I'll go." Everyone stopped their work and watched her in unison, as if what she was sending was not a dish, but a talisman related to their life and death, waiting for the first verdict and resigning it to fate. The first dream walked extra firmly, and his delicate fingers clenched the wooden case. An hour later, Chu Meng came back with a wooden case, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward, only to see Chu Meng preoccupied, his eyes swept around the crowd smartly, and said word by word: "Roast pigeon...... It's still the same. ”

Everyone was even more suspicious, but they couldn't take it into account, only took out a needle from the silver card cloth bag that had been prepared on the side and probed it, sipped it carefully, and then pulled it out, as if their minds were also generally withdrawn, waiting for this moment, and it seemed to be the most difficult situation in the world.

The old maid hurriedly went to cover the door of the stove room, "This pigeon is also poisonous!" like a silver needle piercing into the Baihui acupoints of the people, causing their blood to suddenly stagnate, and like a thunderous explosion, deafening.

"How can this pigeon be poisonous? We are all watching the whole cooking process! With so many pairs of eyes, could it be that the villain has the skill of stealth?" said the maid.

"Excluding us, only Miss Wei Zhen's side of the chamber is there, could it be that the maid under her wants to harm her?"

"First dream, you have the most ideas, what do you think about this?"

Chu Meng didn't have an idea for a while, she also had some selfish intentions, if this matter was reported and investigated, it would not be difficult to find out that this medicine was produced in the north, and then it was not known that her identity as a Hu assassin was found out, so she sighed and said, "Let me think about it." ”

The pots and plates for lunch were cleaned up, but they did not see the maids in the stove room disperse to rest, and the first dream knew in his heart that they were all worried, but he saw that this group of maids had not slept well since last night, and today they were frightened and frightened until now, several people were tired and seemed to be unable to hold on, so they said: "It is not a way to gather in this place like this, everyone should rest first, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run, but I am afraid that the matter has not yet come to light, and the bodies of the sisters have been dragged down first." I went to the pigeon cage with the old chef to find out if there was anything wrong with these pigeons, and then I will talk to you when I come back. ”

Everyone listened to it and felt quite reasonable, but they were exhausted, and they didn't think about it, so they went to the back shop in groups to rest, but as soon as they closed their eyes, their brains became more and more sober, and several people turned over and moved around, and they felt inappropriate to sleep, and finally they simply got up and talked about this bizarre thing.

"Say, who will do this?" the maid sat around and said in a hidden voice, "At the moment, they are talking behind closed doors, they are all their own sisters, but guess it doesn't matter, if anyone reveals half a word, they will not die well!"

"From this point of view, only the people around Miss Na Weizhen have been poisoned. It can't be Miss Wei Zhen who poisons herself, right?"

"I look at that Yinglang is quite suspicious, always cold to us, maybe it is a ruthless person!"

"But if it's someone around Miss, why don't you pick the roast pigeon that she doesn't eat and get poison......ed?

"What do you think...... This poisoner...... Could it be the first dream?" The words came out, and the little maid herself was shocked, how could she blurt out such a bad speculation, everyone's eyes followed her, and she immediately blushed, lowered her head and said, "I'm just saying it casually...... If it weren't for the people around Miss Wei Zhen, there would only be the dishes passed on by the first dream, and she would be the most suspicious. ”

Another maidservant said: "The first dream is a very good person, last night she took care of the thin and thin, and we all looked at it." But did she mean to harm Miss Weizhen, and became a scapegoat, to put it bluntly, we are not her, and no one dares to be sure?"

"I heard from Sister Lianxin that Aunt Zhao intends to promote and support the relationship between Master Xuan and Miss Weizhen...... Could this be the vinegar fire of the first dream?"

"No, Chu Meng is not a stupid person, could it be that she doesn't know that everything with Fu Xuan Gongzi is a joke? Who would take it seriously and poison people for this!"

Another snarky female voice said sourly: "I see that the first dream is not simple, maybe it is a femme fatale, you say that I am waiting for this class of maidservants, who will stroke the piano?"

"Don't speak ill of your dreams. I believe in her. Pushing aside the crowd, I saw the elderly maid sitting at the head of the bed, and said with a solemn face, "Just these things, it makes you suspicious of each other, before the first dream, I was beaten by peach branches for you, and I begged for a silk shirt for you, you are so unfriendly, and you turn your face and don't recognize people in a blink of an eye?"

When the maidservants saw that the elder leader had spoken, they also knew that they were ashamed, and secretly reflected on themselves, and hurriedly pulled up the futon and got into it in order to hide their shame, pretending to dream, but they didn't expect all this to be eavesdropped on by the peeping children outside the window drawer.
