"Deputy Steward Lin, you have too much commitment. People kindly sent two bowls of noodles, but you suspect that the noodles are poisoned!" Seeing that the silver needles had not turned black twice, Lin Xiaoyang was a little unhappy.

Without waiting for Lin Zhiwu to stop him again, Lin Xiaoyang had already picked up a bowl of green vegetables and noodles and ate them.

"I hope I'm too careful!" Seeing Lin Xiaoyang's fragrant eating, Lin Zhiwu's tone was light.

After that, Lin Zhiwu wiped the noodle soup on the silver needle with his sleeve, put it back into the hairpin, turned on the hairpin tail, and inserted the wooden hairpin back into the hairpin.

In fact, it's no wonder that Lin Zhiwu, after all, he has been in a conspiracy for so many years, and Lin Zhiwu's caution is also due to experience, otherwise, who wants to be nervous every day?

Although he said that he hoped that he was too careful, Lin Zhiwu finally felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, no matter how Lin Xiaoyang persuaded him, Lin Zhiwu refused to eat the bowl of green vegetable noodles, and only ate the cold and hard steamed buns brought out from Zhu's mansion.

Lin Xiaoyang was helpless about Lin Zhiwu's stubbornness, and in the end, the two bowls of green vegetable noodles went down to Lin Xiaoyang's stomach.

After dinner, after packing up the bags of water bladders and dry food, Lin Zhiwu said: "Young Master Lin, for the sake of safety, we will sleep in a room tonight! ”

When they were still in Qinshan, as long as Lin Xiaoyang's senior brother and second senior brother lived on Qinshan, the three of them would always be crowded in a bamboo house, and every time Lin Xiaoyang's senior brother would be squeezed into a bamboo bed with Lin Xiaoyang.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoyang has no opinion on Lin Zhiwu's mention.

It's just that there is only one wooden bed about one meter wide in this wooden house, and the two big men sleep a little crammed.

Lin Zhiwu mentioned that he was sleeping on the ground, and Lin Xiaoyang didn't say anything, only hugged the two quilts on the bed and gave them to Lin Zhiwu to lay out.

In this way, Lin Xiaoyang put his precious long sword on the edge of the bed, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After making sure that the door was properly tied, he spread the quilt on the ground next to the bed, Lin Zhiwu took off the soft sword on his waist and put it on the side of the quilt, blew out the candle on the table that was about to burn out, and lay down on the ground with his clothes in the same way, closing his eyes and sleeping lightly.

Late at night, Lin Xiaoyang, who was sleeping on the wooden bed, suddenly curled up and rolled over, and the cold sweat of the bean kept oozing from his forehead.

During the tumbling room, the long sword that Lin Xiaoyang put on the edge of the bed before going to bed was knocked under the bed by him, and it happened to land on Lin Zhiwu's bunk next to the bed.

Because he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, Lin Zhiwu didn't dare to fall asleep, because even the slight sound of the long sword falling on the quilt still woke up Lin Zhiwu who was sleeping lightly.

Sitting up suddenly, Lin Zhiwu looked at Lin Xiaoyang on the bed.

Through the faint moonlight that penetrated into the room through the window screen, what Lin Zhiwu saw was Lin Xiaoyang curled up, frowning, his eyes closed, his upper teeth biting his lower lip tightly, and there seemed to be cold sweat oozing from his forehead, lying on the wooden bed and rolling back and forth.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiwu immediately knew that something was wrong!

got up and walked to the bed, leaned over to look at Lin Xiaoyang, Lin Zhiwu called worriedly: "Lin Gongzi, Lin Gongzi, what's wrong with you? Lin Gongzi? Wake up!!"

As if hearing Lin Zhiwu's call, Lin Xiaoyang gradually stopped rolling, and only after a long time did he open his closed eyes faintly.

Looking at Lin Zhiwu, who was worried, Lin Xiaoyang gasped slightly: "I, I am like being bitten by ants, it hurts, it is very uncomfortable......"

With the faint moonlight in the room, and because the eyesight of people who practice martial arts is better than ordinary people, Lin Zhiwu saw that Lin Xiaoyang's original bronzed skin showed a strange red at the moment, and there was still a trace of black gas swimming back and forth under the skin.

Looking at Lin Xiaoyang's situation, it is not difficult for Lin Zhiwu to guess - Lin Xiaoyang is poisoned, and it is highly poisonous!

Not daring to delay in the slightest, Lin Zhiwu hurriedly took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the small red cloth stopper at the mouth of the bottle, and poured a white pill into the palm of his hand from the porcelain bottle.

As soon as the white pill saw the air, it slowly emitted a faint fragrant fragrance, which showed that it was made with excellent medicinal herbs.

Lin Zhiwu pinched the white pill in his palm and stuffed it into Lin Xiaoyang's mouth, and said at the same time: "This is a bottle of elixir that your second senior brother gave me before leaving the mansion that can cure all kinds of poisons in the world, you swallow it first, even if it can't detoxify, at least it can relieve the toxicity a little, making you more comfortable." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyang obediently swallowed the Chinese medicine pill, but the pill melted in his mouth, and there was only a faint fragrance between his lips and teeth.

But after a while, Lin Xiaoyang really felt a lot more comfortable, and the feeling of being bitten by ants gradually subsided.

"How's it going, do you feel better?" Putting away the small white porcelain vase, Lin Zhiwu looked at Lin Xiaoyang with concern.

Lin Xiaoyang replied honestly when he heard this: "It's much better, but the whole body is soft, and I don't have any strength at all." ”

Seeing the strange red on Lin Xiaoyang's face disappearing, and the trace of black gas wandering under the skin gradually dissipated, Lin Zhiwu finally let go of his hanging heart.

Exhaling with a sigh of relief, Lin Zhiwu explained with a smile: "Then it proves that the poison in your body has been resolved, after taking the Baijie Pill, as long as the poison is detoxified, it will be so soft that you can't use your strength, as long as you rest for half an hour." ”

"Got it. Lin Xiaoyang obediently responded.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoyang still couldn't help but ask: "How could I be poisoned? Didn't you check that bowl of noodles with a silver needle? There is no poison in it!"

Regarding the food that Zhu Zimo prepared for them, Lin Xiaoyang would never have the slightest doubt.

"There is indeed no poison in that bowl of noodles, and the poison should be smeared on the chopsticks. At first, I didn't notice that the two pairs of chopsticks were not resting on the noodle bowl, but were diagonally inserted in the gap between the noodle bowl and the bamboo basket. Lin Zhiwu nodded and began to analyze in a clear and methodical manner.

"If you don't put it on the noodle bowl, you are probably afraid that the poison will fall into the noodle bowl when the bamboo basket shakes. I'm afraid that they also guessed that we might test the poison, so they didn't put the poison directly in the noodles, but smeared the poison on the chopsticks. As long as we don't think of this and eat the noodles with the chopsticks they have prepared, the poison will seep into the noodles through the chopsticks, and we will be poisoned as well. After the analysis, Lin Zhiwu's guess was exactly right.

Looking at Lin Xiaoyang's somewhat pale face, Lin Zhiwu couldn't help but be glad, fortunately he had a mind at the beginning, otherwise he would ...... now

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiwu shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Why did they poison us? It's the first time we've passed through here, isn't it?" Lin Xiaoyang couldn't understand, so he asked Lin Zhiwu again.

Shaking his head, Lin Zhiwu said, "I don't understand why they poisoned us." When I first entered the courtyard and inspected three rooms, I always felt that something was wrong, but I just couldn't figure out what was wrong. I thought I was worrying too much, but now I've finally figured it out. ”

After a pause, Lin Zhiwu didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Xiaoyang and asked, "Young Master Lin, do you remember the old man we met when we were at the entrance of the village?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyang nodded and replied, "Remember, it was the old man who told us that this was an empty yard and let us live here." ”

Lin Zhiwu immediately answered: "That's right, I remember that the old man said that the owner of this courtyard in the east of their village moved to the city some time ago, and the yard was empty. One of the utensils in the house has never been moved, but it has never been occupied. ”

Lin Xiaoyang nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's what the old man said. ”

"However, when I inspected the rooms, I found that the utensils in the three rooms were very clean and tidy, without a trace of dust, and did not look like they had been vacant for a while. In addition, it is spring, there is a lot of rainy season, and our Daliang is located in the south with a humid climate. There is no reason why a house that has been vacant for a while and has not been cleaned can be so clean and tidy, without the slightest sign of dampness and mold. Lin Zhiwu continued to analyze one by one.

After a pause, Lin Zhiwu put his hand on the quilt on the bed, and his hand felt dry and fluffy to the touch, obviously because he often turned it over: "Even this quilt is very dry!"

After listening to Lin Zhiwu's analysis, although Lin Xiaoyang is simple by nature, he is still smart when he should be smart.

Lin Xiaoyang immediately said: "You mean that this courtyard is not vacant, but there are still people living in it, and someone is cleaning it every day?"

Shaking his head, Lin Zhiwu replied uncertainly: "I don't know if there is anyone living there, whether someone cleans it every day, but it is certain that someone came to clean this courtyard before we came, and it is definitely not that the old man said that it was a vacant yard." ”

After being silent for a while, Lin Xiaoyang suddenly looked in the direction of the door and said vigilantly: "Someone is coming!"

Although Lin Xiaoyang can't exert his strength now, his internal force is still there, not to mention the movement within a radius of 100 meters, at least within a radius of 50 meters, Lin Xiaoyang can still hear it clearly.

After listening to Lin Xiaoyang's reminder, Lin Zhiwu listened carefully for a while, and sure enough, he heard the sound of someone jumping over the wall and jumping into the yard outside the house.

If you listen carefully, the sound made by those people when they land is light and heavy, and it is obvious that some people have practiced martial arts and some have never practiced martial arts.

Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang glanced at each other, Lin Zhiwu pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "It seems that someone can't wait to determine if we are poisoned." ”

Nodding, Lin Xiaoyang also said softly: "Some of them have practiced martial arts, but listening to the movement, the time of practicing martial arts is not long, and they will also have some three-legged cat kung fu, I can't use my strength now, you are okay alone, right?"

The worry in the words is self-evident.

Lin Zhiwu said softly: "Don't worry, although my martial arts are not as high as you, Gongzi Lin, it is still easy to settle those people outside." ”

Picking up the long sword at his feet, putting it in Lin Xiaoyang's hand, and hiding his soft sword in his waist again, Lin Zhiwu smiled at Lin Xiaoyang - his days of escaping death all these years were not in vain!
