Before he could explain to Shulan, he met Yushan, who seemed to be waiting outside the hospital.
Yushan's tone was obviously not surprised that he would meet me, which meant that he was waiting for me here on purpose.
I was thinking about it, Yushan lowered his head and slowly raised his head, looking at me cautiously, I was just about to greet him. Yushan glanced at Shulan very hesitantly, and this was the glance, full of defense.
I knew his intentions, so I pretended not to be aware of it, and persuaded Shulan to rest assured, "I'm fine, I'm just a little bored and want to go out for a walk." With Shulan's uneasiness and looked at Yushan, after the previous incident, when the two of them stood face to face, it seemed that the atmosphere of the whole environment had frozen, and I could only help interrupt, "Yushan, are you looking for me?" ā
Yushan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"That's it......" I thought about it, I don't know where Xiao Jue went again, "Then, Shulan, you can stay at home." When the adult comes back, if I haven't come back, he will definitely ask, and you tell him that I will go out for a walk. ā
"Okay." Shulan replied.
"Let's go." I turned to Yushan and said.
ā¦ā¦
What I didn't expect was that the words I left for Shulan to turn into Gao Xiaojue really became the last sentence I left for him.
When I woke up again, I was tied up and fell to the ground, judging from the surroundings that it should be an abandoned house, the house was empty, and some scattered wooden equipment was dilapidated, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated, but judging from the carved patterns on the window stables, the original owner of this place must have been either rich or expensive in the village.
"You're awake......" came to my eye, first of all, a pair of shoes.
A pair of women's shoes.
I struggled to turn and reluctantly raised my head to look at her, "Moon Cicada? ā
Not far behind the cicada, there is a jade mountain.
When she noticed that my eyes fell on Yushan, she just bowed her head for a moment, and then said to Yushan steadily, "You still don't leave." ā
"Yuecicada, don't make any more mistakes...... Yushan advised, and from his gaze, there was some unbearable.
"What nonsense are you talking about, let you go, you'll go." The moon cicada lost her patience and was impatient with Yushan's ill-hearted persuasion.
It took me a lot of effort to sit up with my unbalanced body, one leg still curled up, and I looked left and right while they were talking, and found another unconscious person in the corner of the room, "Magnolia! ā
The cicada came back to her senses and told me coldly, "Don't scream, she's fainted." ā
"What did you do to her?!" I struggled to get up, but I couldn't move at all, my body was firmly bound, my hands didn't need any strength, and the back of my head hurt. I have some impressions, Yushan and I left Xiao Jue's place, walked halfway, and suddenly felt the back of the head, and then I lost consciousness, now in retrospect, it should have been Yushan who knocked me unconscious.
"She's okay now, but I don't know what will happen in a few hours." Yuecia glanced at Magnolia, she could be so indifferent.
How many hours will it take? "You gave her a bowel-breaker?"
I understood what she meant, it's okay now, it's because the medicinal properties of the Broken Gut Grass haven't been used yet, and after that, ...... If it took a few more hours for the poison to take effect, it was speculated that at least a day ago, she asked Yulan to take the Broken Intestine Grass......
Yuecia didn't answer me, but just said to Yushan, "You're not leaving?" If you don't go back, the adults should be aware. ā
Yushan looked at me uneasily, as if he had concerns, and the emotions in his eyes wanted to jump out several times, but when he subconsciously looked at the moon cicada, that emotion would be involuntarily suppressed.
"She's right, if you don't go back, Xiao Jue will inevitably be suspicious, and it won't take long to find out here." At that time, everyone would be trapped here, and no one would be able to leave, my words alerted the cicada, and I took the opportunity to say to her, "Let Yushan take Yulan away, you just need a hostage, I'll stay." ā
"You?" The cicada didn't believe me.
"yes, me." I told her with certainty, "It will take at least sixteen hours for the Broken Intestine Grass to be poisonous, and if you had given Magnolia a day before, then as you said, she would have been poisoned in a few more hours." You can kill her, but if she dies here, we may be found before you can use me to escape the village. Since you have a hostage in your hand, and you asked Yushan to take me here, it is just because of the current hostage in your hand, that is, Yulan, you want to kill her. You're not going to take her with you, or rather, you and Ben aren't sure to get her out of here, so you need someone who can help you. ā
After listening to me, Yuecian squatted beside me with great interest, "Huo Xi, you are really too smart, but even if you know, what can you do, aren't you trapped here now?" ā
"What about you?" I asked.
She was stunned.
"Do you want to be stuck here for the rest of your life, or do you want to get out of here." I asked with a chuckle.
There was a look of hesitation in the eyes of the moon cicada, and after a while, she took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have a way?" ā
"As a person who is remembered at such a critical time and thinks that it can help you, I don't know if I should think or not, this is your affirmation of my cleverness." I quipped, and then looked at Yushan, "Let Yushan take Yulan away, and when I saw Xiao Jue, I told him that when we were wandering and talking, we met Yuecia and Yulan were about to leave the village, so there was an argument." Seeing that Magnolia was no longer good, I offered to exchange myself for Magnolia, because I was very confident, so Yushan left with Magnolia first because he was worried about Magnolia, and then saw the cicada kidnapping me and fleeing downstream. Downstream is the ancestral hall, no matter how much the people in the village look for it, they will definitely not think that you dare to hide in the ancestral hall before, so after Xiao Jue was diagnosed with Yulan poisoning, he would stay to treat Yulan and let others rush to the ancestral hall downstream. That's a good chance for us to leave. ā
Yuecia calmly thought about the possibility I said, and then asked vigilantly, "What about you, what is the purpose of you letting Yushan take her away?" You know that I want to kill her, she is also poisoned and is about to die, but you asked Yushan to take her back at this time. ā
"It's up to Yushan, do you want her to live." I laughed.
Although the moon cicada was a little angry with my reaction, there was really no other way, the poisoned magnolia was the only one who could contain Xiao Jue, so that the others could rush downstream, and there would be a moment of free time here. "Yushan, you take her away."
Yushan hesitated and looked at me with a solemn expression.
"Let's go." I said, "You don't mean to harm me, and you don't want to harm anyone else, I'm just afraid that you are doing this, just so that the cicada can leave the village properly." Tell Xiao Jue what I just said to buy us time, you know? ā
Yushan exhaled a long sigh, helplessly entangled, and was about to go to Yulan's side to take her away.
"Wait a minute." The moon cicada said suddenly.
I was worried that something would happen to her, but the cicada took out a small bottle from the placket of her clothes, uncorked it, and listened to the sound she made as she shook it, and I could determine that the bottle was a liquid or something. "This is the herb poison you use to harm people?"
Yueciao's face changed, and she suddenly surged with anger, wanting to vent it to me, but after hesitating for a while, she calmed down, "Huo Xi, you are too smart, I still can't fully believe you." If you want Yushan to take Yulan away, it's okay, since you have become a hostage in place of Yulan, then you also have to drink this poison, so that I can be sure that you will not easily run away from me. If you can get me out of the village within sixteen hours, I'll give you the antidote, or else you'll die of poison." ā
"Moon Cicada, don't hurt Miss Huo Xi......" Yushan understood what Moon Cicada meant, and wanted to speak out to obstruct it.
was just stared at by the moon cicada, and he shrank back again.
"Then drink." I said, "I've got my hands tied, you can feed me." ā
"Miss Huo Xi!" Yushan was shocked.
I lifted the small bottle to my lips along the moon cicada, looked up, drank the bitter potion in the bottle, my tongue was already numb with bitterness, and sighed, "It's so bitter, such a bitter thing, how did you trick Changjing into drinking it." Then he said to Yushan, "It's okay for me, Yue Chan also said, within sixteen hours, as long as I let her leave the village, she will give me the antidote, sixteen hours, it is nothing to me, you take Yulan away, don't forget the words I told you." ā
Yushan was stunned, picked up the unconscious Yulan, and stumbled outside.
Mooncicada kept looking at me, and when they left, she smiled. "Looks like you already know where this is."
"Changjingjia." I'll be blunt.
"Thankfully, almost." The moon cicada breathed a vague sigh of relief.
"Almost what?" I'm interested in chatting with her, "I think you'll probably know it early on, and it won't be long before I can guess that you're hiding here with Yulan, so you strike first, take advantage of Yushan's intolerance to you, and let him bring me here as a hostage exchange." On the one hand, because you want to kill Magnolia, after killing her, you will have no hostages to use, and on the other hand, you have a better chance of hijacking the person who can best guess where you are hiding to help you leave. ā
Unmoved, she sat down next to me, and she glanced at me as I said these words. "Even if you know this, even if you know that Yushan helped me, then you are already trapped here, and it is still too late."
"Who said I was late." I let out a long sigh.
The cicada turned its head to look at me.
"It wasn't long before Yushan came to me that I thought you would be hiding here. But the other connections between Yushan and you, I knew about it a few days ago. "I couldn't have imagined myself that I would be able to talk to her so calmly after I had drunk the poisoned potion.
Moon Cicada suddenly became very nervous, "Impossible. ā
"Before you kidnapped Yulan and escaped, you already knew that Yushan woke up, right?" Her eyes widened as I said this with a chuckle, "When I was cracking every case you have committed in front of everyone, I did something that relied entirely on my instincts, and I didn't always think about it in my usual logic. When I gave evidence, I decided that the wood carving that could prove that your father had been to the scene of the crime was on Yushan, and he just took it out. (To be continued.) )
