Chapter 17: Regret Medicine

"You again?" It is clear that the writer had a visceral disgust for these two uninvited guests. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You should be glad it's us and no one else, like Xiao Daoyi." Luo Yin didn't wait for her to let in, and went in by himself.

Su San smiled embarrassedly, Zeng Yuqing could only stretch out his hand and make a gesture of please, but he was reluctant.

"Let's talk about it, what is your relationship with Xiao Daoyi."

Luo Yin found a sofa to sit comfortably when he entered the room, and then went straight to the point and asked.

As if he had been greatly insulted, Writer Zeng's face changed greatly, and he pointed to the door and said, "Young Master Luo, if you say these insulting words again, I can only ask you out." ”

Luo Yin ignored her at all, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, took out one, then took out his own lighter and lit it, took a deep breath, and sprayed a smoke ring at her.

Zeng Yuqing has been praised very high over the years, and he has never met such a rude person, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't go too far, look at me as a single woman who is easy to bully, right?" ”

Su San also pulled Luo Yin's sleeve on the side, telling him not to be so frivolous.

Luo Yin smiled, deliberately approached Zeng Yuqing's face, stared at her eyes and asked word by word, "What about Chen Gongbo?" ”

Zeng Yuqing's momentum disappeared in an instant, his eyes were also full of fear, he took two steps back, and leaned his back against the door to force himself to be strong.

"What? Scared? Speaking of the one you're most afraid of? ”

Luo Yin sneered, grabbed her slender wrist violently, pulled it hard, and said viciously: "You can not speak, but you will not be able to help you when you reach the Suppression Committee." ”

Zeng Yuqing was so frightened that his lips were trembling.

She still remembers Zheng Pingru's death on No. 76 vividly. She heard that the current military commander was on par with the seventy-sixth of the year, and if he was targeted by the people of the Anti-Rape Committee, he would have to shed his skin if he did not die, and his life would be over.

All pride is shattered by the harsh reality.

Zeng Yuqing had to bow his head and beg for mercy: "Young Master Luo, what do you want to know?" ”

"All the circumstances of Professor Lin's birthday banquet, what did you experience after helping Professor Lin back to the guest room?"

Zeng Yuqing sat on the side sofa, leaning on the back of the sofa, like a balloon that had been deflated, and his whole spirit disappeared.

"I met ...... at the door that day," she said here, looking at Su San slightly apologetically, "This ......"

Su San knew that this arrogant writer didn't remember who his surname was, and said with an embarrassed smile on the side: "My name is Su San, Su San's solution." ”

"When we met this Miss Su and Miss Lin, we walked into the hall together, and Miss Su gave a gift, which was a delicate fire sickle."

Su San nodded, and Luo Yin looked at her with surprise: "Send the fire sickle, you are really old-fashioned." ”

Su San glanced at him and ignored him.

"That fire sickle, it's not an ordinary thing."

When Zeng Yuqing said this, his arrogant expression returned to most of it, and he faintly looked at people with his chin.

"My grandmother was born in the past, and when I was a child, I saw some literati notes in my grandmother's study, many of which were anecdotes, and one of them was related to this fire sickle."

Su San couldn't imagine that the birthday gift he bought had such a big origin, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Zeng Yuqing smiled and was very disdainful.

"Miss Su, you don't have to doubt my memory, I can't forget it."

Her expression was unruly, and Su Sanbelly slandered: What are you angry? I can't just remember it, I can never forget it.

When Luo Yin heard this, he also glanced at Su San and said

"Then please tell Miss Zeng what is the difference between the fire sickle?"

Su San said: "Wait a minute, since Miss Zeng wants to talk about the origin of the fire sickle, why don't you take it out and talk about it?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that last time I was here, I smelled the smell of flint, but Miss Zeng said that there was no flint and sickle. And just yesterday, Shu Ning told me that the fire sickle was not in the middle of the gift, I think it was Professor Lin who carried it with him at that time, but there was no such thing next to Professor Lin's body, where did it go? Of course it's people who know its value, am I right? Miss Zeng, who never forgets. ”

Zeng Yuqing's face was red and white for a while, and after two minutes of silence, she walked to the closet, opened the door, rummaged inside, and took out the fire sickle.

Luo Yin took it, looked at it curiously, and said: "I don't understand this, but it looks like a very valuable thing, and you, a little money fan, are still very willing to spend money." ”

"There is a picture of this fire sickle in that book, but it is not an ordinary artifact, it is called regret medicine."

"A fire sickle called regret medicine?"

Su San and Luo Yin were stunned.

"Yes, when a person has regret, in a quiet place, he recites a spell on this fire sickle and lights a candle, which is said to dispel the deep regret in his heart, but this thing only works for half an hour, and if this half hour does not dissipate the remorse, it will be useless."

"Oh my God, that's the case, I said how come there are three candles in the box of that fire sickle."

"With candles? It must be made of merman fat, this is the most suitable match for the earliest regret medicine, but this kind of candle is almost impossible to find in later generations. Zeng Yuqing said this, and Luo Yin hurriedly put the fire sickle aside.

Zeng Yuqing shook his head and smiled: "Master Luo, don't worry, this thing has been here with me for several days, but I still can't understand the mystery." This thing is just a fire sickle to people who don't know spells. ”

"Well, how long is half an hour?"

Luo Yin embarrassedly diverted the topic.

"An hour or so."

Su San replied.

"At the beginning of the banquet, Mr. Xiao went to toast and came back and told me that Professor Lin had received a letter that might have been written by Chen Gongbo, I was very scared, Chen Gongbo had already been sentenced to death, I was most afraid of having something to do with him, God knows what would be written in his letter, so I begged Mr. Xiao to see the letter first to make sure it would not be bad for me. Later, Shen Mubai made such a fuss, and we helped Professor Lin to go back, and it was in the guest room that Mr. Xiao stole the key from Mrs. Lin and handed it to me. ”

"No wonder you helped Professor Lin back and never came back, it turned out that you went to the guest room again."

"Yes, I waited for the banquet to begin, and then quietly opened the door of the guest room, intending to find the letter, but when I entered, I found Professor Lin motionless, standing against the sofa, his eyes closed, and the fire sickle falling to the ground. I was so frightened that I found the letter in his pocket, and when I looked for it with my hand, I saw that he still had some breath, and helped him back to lie down. As I left, I was sure that he was not dead, but it was strange, unable to speak or see, as if he was in a deep sleep, and did not react to the outside world at all. The smell of incense in the house was strong, and I was worried that he would spoil it, so I opened the window, diluted the smell and closed it again, then picked up the fire sickle and walked out of the room to lock the door. Later, I found a waiter to call Mr. Xiao out and return the key to him, so I took the letter and the fire sickle and left, and the next morning I saw the Shenjiang newspaper, and I learned that Professor Lin was dead. ”

Zeng Yuqing told everything in one breath, sighed, leaned back on the sofa, reached out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, but held it in his mouth but did not light it.

"Why did Xiao Daoyi help you?" After Luo Yin finished asking, he saw the cigarette in Zeng Yuqing's mouth tremble.

She took the cigarette down, rubbed it in her hand and said, "He? Naturally, he is not a decent man and gentleman, and after he recovered, he came to me and said that as long as I followed him, there would be nothing to do, otherwise he would send me, a traitorous lover, to the anti-traitor committee. ”

Zeng Yuqing laughed a few times, and then said: "I pride myself on being ice clear and jade, and I look down on the world, who would have thought that it would come to this point." In the early years, in order to live, he accepted Chen Gongbo's kindness, and now in order to survive, Xiao Daoyi is a guest of the scene, I, I. ”

She laughed and laughed, tears fell from her eyes.

Su San saw an arrogant woman become like this, and he felt very uncomfortable. Just about to comfort her, I heard Luo Yin say: "No, the secret technique you know is only the merman candle that can be matched with regret medicine, and nothing else can be done?" For example, the strong smell of incense? ”

"What do you mean?"

"It means that you may have another purpose when you open the window to blow the wind and scatter the incense."

Luo Yin picked up the fire sickle, looked left and right, and handed it to Su San and said, "Let's return to Zhao when you're done." ”

"You don't want to spew blood." Zeng Yuqing's face turned red and he was very angry.

"Writer Zeng, don't be impatient, you enter the guest room to steal letters, and you still have time to ventilate the guest room, it's really a panic." (To be continued.) )
