Chapter 25: The Change of the Concubine Mansion (5)

Previous Chapter

Bai Qian is not there, Xiao Zi is still sleeping, and Zhuju doesn't need her to be on guard all the time for the time being. Fengli was idle and remembered Fu Fei who had gone out last night.

When Fu Fei left, he didn't say when he would come back, so Fengli had to tell his subordinates that he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and that he would rest in the room and let them not disturb him. It's just that he hasn't shown up since last night, and she hasn't brought her food. This may seem abnormal to outsiders.

It was lunch time, so she went to the room to ask for two lunches and pretended to be brought into Fu Fei's room.

There was really no one in the room, Feng Li sighed. Fortunately, Senior Brother Bai Qi has been busy taking care of Xiao Zi for the past two days, otherwise he would have found that Fu Fei was missing, but if he asked her, he wouldn't know how to explain.

Putting the food in the food box on the table one by one, she sat on the side and ate it without a bite. When he was in Shangjiang, he always went out inexplicably, but in the end he brought back the petals of the "nightmare". This... Could it be that he found something again? But he was always elusive, and she didn't know where to look for him at this time, and if she had any questions, she had to wait for him to come back.

Lowered her eyes and looked at the food on the table, this is the most headache for her right now, she hasn't finished her share after eating it for a long time, what should she do with the rest. Feng Li sighed and continued to cook in silence.

The weather in the afternoon is a little hot, although it is not yet three or nine dog days, but due to the region, the weather here is hotter than other places. At this time, it has been four days since the accident in the villa, and there has been no conclusion on how to deal with the corpse, but the Yizhuang outside the Jiujiang River has already faintly emitted a foul smell. As soon as Bai Qian arrived at the concubine's mansion, the concubine didn't even get to the point of being polite. Bai Qi listened, "It is indeed an urgent matter, if you don't deal with these corpses, I am afraid that there will be more accidents after a long time." ”

The old man nodded, "The old man also thinks so, so he bothered his nephew to make a trip." I have arranged for the servants to come and discuss the situation after lunch, and I have asked my nephew to explain the situation to them. The disciple of Shushan came forward, which was more convincing than the empty white teeth of the old man. ”

Bai Qi archer, "Master Fei is polite, this is what I should do, and it is incumbent on the younger generation." ”

After noon, each of the deceased came to the house with a man who could be the head of the house. When everyone arrived, plus Master Fei and Bai Qi, there were nearly a dozen people in the living room. Some are angry and some are sad, but they don't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the concubine, but their faces are not very good.

Bai Qi bowed in front of everyone, and after explaining his identity, he immediately explained the reason why he had to be burned. The prestige of Shushan is unknown to everyone today, not to mention that this place is not too far from Shushan, and the people naturally believe in Bai Qian's words. Therefore, when everyone heard that this thing was called Gu and was so vicious, they couldn't help but gasp. Although most people are unwilling, after all, the living are more important, and after much thought, they agree. Only three or four big men remained silent.

Seeing this, the old man said, "I know that you villagers are reluctant to give up on your family, since they have an accident in the old man's mansion, the old man is responsible. Now they can't be allowed to return to their ancestral graves, and the old man is feeling guilty. But after all, the stakes are high, and there is really no way to compromise. In order to compensate everyone, the old man decided to add an additional 100 taels to each family in addition to the funeral expenses originally compensated to each family. In addition, the old man will build a cemetery outside the city, and bury the burned bones here for your worship. I will also ask this white immortal elder to do supernatural rituals for your family. I wonder what everyone thinks about this? ”

The three conditions offered by the old man can be said to be very generous, and everyone is overjoyed when they hear it. People are realistic, the dead are gone, and the living are great. Even the few big men who were silent just now nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone had no objections, the concubine was relieved, and finally solved the tricky matter in front of him. How everyone found the account room to sign and draw the pledge to receive the money, but this Dharma is naturally as fast as possible, and the weather is hot and humid, and it cannot be delayed. After discussing it with Bai Qian, the concubine decided to do it early the next morning. In this way, Bai Qi had to stay in the house for one more night, so he had to let Uncle Chen go back to Zhuangzi alone and inform Fengli of the matter.

Uncle Chen didn't stay long when he returned to the villa, and ordered the guards to pass the news and hurried back to the concubine's mansion. At this time, Fengli was pacing back and forth in Fei Zi's room. Fei Zi looked at her and couldn't help frowning, "Xiaoli, isn't it tricky on the patient's side?" ”

Fengli was stunned, "No." The situation over there is very stable now, and it will be possible to drive the Gu in two or three days. ”

"Then why are you so restless?" Fei Zi was very worried in her heart, she was afraid that Fengli was just comforting her.

Fengli said embarrassedly, it's not that she doesn't want to rest. She couldn't sit down at all. At lunchtime, she ate one and a half people of food, and her stomach was about to explode. I wanted to go around in the Zhuangzi to eliminate food, but I heard that the concubine was awake, so I rushed to accompany her. It's just that she was so swollen that she had to walk around the house for a while. At this time, seeing that Fei Zi asked this, she hurriedly stopped and replied, "It's just that I have lunch and I want to move a little." ”

Hearing this, Fei Zi sneered and said, "You've worked hard these days, it's good to eat more." ”

The two teased each other, consciously or unintentionally avoiding the most sensitive topics at this time. At this time, the messenger at the door arrived, and he relayed Uncle Chen's words and retreated. At this time, Fei Zi knew that Bai Qi was no longer in the villa, and she was a little nervous and asked Fengli, "I don't know what happened to my father looking for my senior brother?" ”

Fengli didn't notice it, only told her the reason why the housekeeper told her, and said at the end, "I guess things are a little tricky, so I didn't get it done today." ”

Fei Zi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She still hasn't said a word about what happened that day, she knows that Fengli and Bai Ji are afraid that she will be upset, so they haven't asked much. Her father was busy with the aftermath and didn't have time to take care of her, otherwise he would have forced her to tell the truth. Now that Bai Qi has been asked to help, the aftermath should be over, and it seems that she will not be able to escape for long. Thinking of this, she no longer had the intention of laughing with Fengli, she only said that she was tired and sent Fengli away.

During dinner, Feng Li wanted to go to Fu Zi to eat together, but she pursed her lips when she thought of Fu Fei. It took me so much to digest at noon, and I couldn't eat like this at night. She called a maidservant and said to her, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm not going to eat dinner." I'll just send you a meal, and I'll send it to my cousin. ”

The maidservant nodded in response, and came back with a food box in a short time. Feng Li thanked her, took the food box and entered Fu Fei's house. Dinner is simpler than noon, two side dishes and a bowl of porridge. Feng Li said in her heart, fortunately, they are all easy to digest, otherwise her stomach would really suffer on this day.

While eating, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the man knocked on the door next door and asked anxiously, "Wind girl, wind girl, it's not good." Something happened to Takeju. ”

Feng Li was shocked when she heard this, threw down the dishes and chopsticks, hurriedly got up and walked out, and as soon as she got out of the room, she saw that it was the Liu steward who was in charge of the bamboo residence who came to find her. She backhanded the room and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The steward was stunned for a moment when he saw Fengli coming out of the room next to him, and then stepped forward and said, "In the evening, we were about to give the third medicine of the day to the patient, but as soon as we helped them up, black blood flowed from the corner of their mouth. One or two are like this, I am so frightened that I dare not move again, so I hurried to look for you. ”

She asked, "Is there a mistake in the dosing of the medicine?" ”

The steward shook his head, "There will never be a mistake, I look at the good matching, and the medicinal materials are all of the highest quality." ”

She had a faint bad premonition in her heart, but she didn't have time to follow the steward and hurried to Zhuju.

When Fengli arrived, all the patients in Zhuju had black blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, and the subordinates were so frightened by this scene that they didn't dare to move. Fengli stepped forward and tore open a man's shirt, and saw countless tiny strips of protrusions on the skin on his chest. Her face turned pale and her heart was not good, it must be her medicine that reacted with the Gu poison, making the Gu worm feel threatened. After all, she was inexperienced, and she had no idea that this would happen. At this moment, Gu worms are so restless, I am afraid that if this continues, these people will not even survive tonight.

At this time, Fei Cheng also heard the wind and rushed over, and when she saw Fengli sitting there in a daze, she also noticed it in her heart, and it seemed that even this doctor from Shushan was helpless. He couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward and asked, "Wind girl, I don't know...... Can it still be saved? ”

Feng Li suddenly came back to her senses when she heard Fei Cheng's voice, "Uncle Cheng, you are here, does Xiao Zi also know?" Xiao Zi has always remembered this incident, if she knew that things had changed, she would definitely blame herself again.

Fei Cheng shook her head, "The subordinate quietly reported it to me, and I didn't let the young lady know." The old slave was worried that she would feel uncomfortable when she found out. ”

She nodded, not speaking. Looking at the lives passing by in front of her, she pursed her lips and struggled violently, now there was only one way to save them. Although she had already made a decision, she was a little hesitant when it came to the end. Save? Or not save? If she had been saved, and the wicked who coveted her blood were invited, would it not have done the people of this city a disservice? If not, why did God give her this special ability?

She hesitated in her heart, and suddenly thought of what he would say if Fu Fei was here? She had regretted that she had saved the wicked by mistake, and remembered what he had said to her in the inn. She couldn't predict what would happen if she did. But there is no preciousness in life, although her original intention was to protect more people, but no matter what the reason, not saving her when she sees death is not against the way of the doctor. Thinking of this, her heart instantly cleared, no matter what, she saved it first. Even if those wicked people really dare to come, her Shushan disciples are not vegetarians, and this time they will definitely have no return.

Now that she has a conclusion in her heart, she can't delay it at this time, she got up and said to Yu Cheng, "Uncle Cheng, I still have a way to save them here, but I just need you to cooperate with me." ”

When she heard that there was still salvation, her eyes lit up, and she immediately came to her senses, "Miss Feng has any requirements, just mention them, I will do our best." The servants on the side also chimed in.

Feng Li pondered for a moment and said, "Now that this situation is in this situation, I'm afraid it's too late to drive away Gu." In that case, let's fight poison with poison. ”

Steward Liu on the side was originally taken aback by this sudden condition, and when he saw Fengli who came in a hurry, he was silent, thinking that these people were afraid that they would not succeed, and he was sorry. Suddenly, I heard that there was still salvation, and I was also excited, and an arrow stepped forward and said, "I don't know how to fight poison with poison?" I'm going to do something about it. Wind girl, if you have anything to do, just tell me to do it. ”

Feng Li saw that everyone was eager to save people, she was also encouraged, she nodded to everyone and said, "Fighting poison with poison is to poison first and then detoxify." Although the Gu worm "Survival" is very difficult to drive, it has a fatal shortcoming, its own poison is comparable to the poison of the mandala. If the host takes the mandala, they will die before the host once the poison spreads throughout the body. As long as it takes half an hour, all the Gu worms on their bodies will die, and after the Gu worms die, I will come to relieve the poison of the mandala. "After the Gu worm dies, the corpse will turn into venom, and the venom will neutralize part of the toxicity of the mandala, but the mandala is highly poisonous, and the remaining toxicity can still be fatal. Therefore, even if the Gu worm was poisoned first, it would be a dead end if the host of the mandala in her body could not be solved, and if it weren't for the special nature of her own blood, she would never use this method.
