Chapter 9: Grounding

"Xiaobai, can you climb faster!"

Su Musha felt so tired, half an hour ago, she urged the White Emperor to open the way, wanting to use the power of the Emperor of Gu and the smell it emitted to force back those poisonous bees and poisonous snakes.

Who would have thought that the White Emperor was climbing too slowly, and I don't know if it was a relationship that had not been driven for a long time, it was quite lazy. Su Mu urged once, only arched, urged once, arched, a foot to climb a stick of incense, if you wait for it to climb out of the house by itself, I'm afraid it will be dark.

"Can't wait."

Su Musha said as he picked up the White Emperor with his fingers, put it on the bamboo knife, and stretched out his head to get out of the wooden house first. When she reached the junction between the bare ground and the lush grass, she probed the bamboo knife across the crossing, waited for a while, and then said to the spring grass behind her: "Follow me, follow closely." ”

Chuncao nodded, hugged the Gu Sutra that had been wrapped in oiled paper in front of his chest, and moved forward step by step behind Su Musha.

The breath of the White Emperor built a barrier around the two of them, causing those poisonous snakes and poisonous bees to retreat one after another, and Su Musha's heart jumped suddenly: If you pick up such a treasure, you will ...... in the future

"Huh! Where are you going? ”

The white emperor on the bamboo knife suddenly spat out a green silk, don't look at the silk is light and soft, but it flutters fast in the wind, and "Du" is nailed to a mountain peak that has not had time to climb far. Strange to say, the mountain peak was stained with green silk for a while, and gradually stopped moving.

Look at the White Emperor again, where is there still Shicai who is too lazy to crawl in the house, jumped up in the air and flew towards the mountain peak, "snapped" on the back of the mountain peak, and the tentacles began to climb towards the snake's head as soon as he arched, and the snake head was reached between the three arches and the two arches, and he opened his mouth and began to bite.

Su Musha couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, and he thought that the White Emperor really loved to eat poison, so he went straight to the venom of the snake's head, and he didn't look at the fat snake body...... Wait a minute! Now is the time to take poison!

"Xiaobai! Come back! ”

The White Emperor paused in his bite and sucking movements, and then the worm swung his head and began to eat and drink on his own.

If it hadn't hesitated, Su Musha might still feel that his behavior of talking to Gu was a little stupid, but it clearly knew how to pretend not to understand, so it couldn't let it go.

She didn't care to think about why this little thing could understand people's words, and ordered again: "Xiaobai! Come back! This time, the White Emperor's body shook, slowly turned around and climbed down the snake's body, looking at her with his head held high.

Su Musha lowered his body and said to it: "You have to be obedient, and when you get home, I will feed you as much poison as you want." With that, she placed the bamboo knife horizontally in front of the White Emperor, and watched it climb up the knife and straighten up.

Chuncao was dumbfounded, and said expectantly, "Miss, you, can you talk to the insects?" ”

"It's it that understands my words," Su Musha corrected, and then said, "Don't spread the word that I found the White Emperor, so as not to be coveted, remember?" ”

Chuncao nodded without hesitation, although she couldn't understand what such a slow-crawling and greedy insect had anything to covet, even if the poisonous snake was afraid of it, but the average person probably would never meet a poisonous snake in his life.

As they spoke, the two of them turned most of the valley around, and saw that most of the plants here were mushrooms, with different styles, although there were many types, none of them were holy lingzhi.

Chuncao didn't give up, and played around on her knees, and the tip of her nose almost rubbed on the ground, but she still found nothing until her knees were soaked.

"No ......"

Chuncao sat down on the ground, sweat gurgling out, tears could not flow, her heart was not in decline, suddenly a pair of warm hands helped her up, and said to her: "Go back." ”

“…… Well. ”

I heard Su Musha's calm voice and said slowly: "The rumors are not credible, you must not be so impulsive in the future, otherwise not only will you not be able to save your brother, but you will also be killed." ”

Chuncao was silent. ………………………………

Night is gradually falling, and the fire at the helm of the Xiaoxiao Gang is as bright as day. In the light of the torches, it was clearly seen that a pole two or three feet high had been erected in the open space in front of the door, and a thick rope hung down from the top of the pole, and the end of the rope was looped, and a person was hanged.

To be precise, it was a hanging corpse, with long hair and waist-length, dressed in a dress, and a woman.

None of the people who came in and out stopped in front of the pole, and all of them did not squint, and from the shadow of the side wall came a faint whisper:

“…… The woman hanging at the door is the woman who died in the medicine garden? ”

“…… But no, the helper gave an order to hang her for seven hundred and forty-nine days until she was dried in the sun......"

“…… It's really harmful, this year's harvest is gone, and the brothers of the whole gang have to tighten their belts......"

Listening to these unscrupulous scoldings, Chuncao raised her hand to cover her mouth, and said to Su Musha beside her: "Sister Xiuhua is too pitiful......" She didn't dare to say anything more after she said half a sentence, wouldn't it be questioning Su Wan'er's decision-making if she continued to say more.

Su Musha quietly looked at the embroidery painting hanging in the air, because of the dispersion of the shawl, the expression on the embroidered face was not clear, and she could only see a few blood marks on the skirt she was wearing, which was already dry and black.

Su Musha thought of the cause of death in Su Wan'er's mouth, she was hanged with a soft weapon, so the blood stains on her skirt should have been left when the child in her belly flowed.

"Chuncao, you go back first, no matter how lively it is outside, don't come out."

After Su Musha explained, she walked quickly under the pole, the bamboo knife in her hand flew out, cut the rope, and the embroidered corpse lost the strength of the rope and went straight down, she reached out to catch it, and felt that the corpse was very light in her hand, not the weight that an adult woman should have. Su Musha pressed the five organs of the embroidered painting, and an angry face appeared: the five organs of the embroidered painting have been hollowed out.

"What are you doing!"

A sharp scolding voice came, and the woman who was scolding did not stop for a moment, and then scolded arrogantly: "You dead girl! Who gave you the guts to put this down! My sister said that she would hang her for forty-nine days to set an example! Look who dares to be so rebellious! You dare to put her down, this is blatant opposition to the helper! ”

Xu's temples were swollen with anger, and Su Wan'er easily agreed to her suggestion, and hung the corpse of this little slut to the public, which was regarded as giving them a chance to clear their responsibilities in this room, and this matter must not be mixed up by the dead girl.

Su Musha ignored her scolding, his eyes crossed over to Xu and fell on Su Wan'er behind her, and asked from a distance: "Why did you hollow out her five organs?" People are already dead, why can't they leave her with a whole corpse? ”

Su Wan'er raised her eyebrows and sneered: "If you break the gang rules, which one can keep the whole corpse?" She was lucky, and she died in the medicine garden at that time, otherwise she would have tasted the taste of corpse worms in the brain and poisonous insects in her heart. ”

Su Mu's body trembled slightly: "Since Auntie ordered the study of her body, what conclusion can be drawn?" She stepped forward and forced Su Wan'er to look, "The matter has not been clarified, the first evil has not been punished, what does it mean to abuse the corpse now?" She glared at Xu Shi and said coldly, "That's all this matter?" A qiē fault is pushed to the embroidery head, forget it? ”

"How can a dead girl speak! Where are the eyeballs? What do you mean by 'the first evil is not punished'! Xu's halberd pointed and scolded, "The first evil? Aren't you the first evil? Do you still need to check? The embroidery must have been instructed by you! ”

Su Wan'er didn't follow the question, only looked at Su Musha for a while, and then asked, "Where have you been?" Why did you come back so late? ”

"Just a little bit of shopping."

"Casual shopping?" Su Wan'er raised her eyebrows and shouted, "There is such a big thing in the gang, do you still have the heart to go shopping?" You just go back to the house and think about it behind closed doors, except for the temper tantrum, you can't help anything. I still think that you have grown up and can start helping out, who knows that you are still a childish mess, regardless of the severity. ”

Su Wan'er scolded Su Musha so coldly, and the listener knew that she was really angry, since it was useless to say more, she didn't hesitate to hold the corpse of the embroidered painting and turn around and leave.

"Sister, she took the little slut's body away...... Do you want to chase it back? Xu's eyes clinged to Su Wan'er's side with blazing eyes, and asked in an unwilling tone.

Su Wan'er looked at Su Mu's staggering back and smiled coldly, but did not reply. …………………………………………

When Su Musha returned to the room, it was time to set up dinner, and before the meal was finished, the whole house had already spread: the young lady had once again angered the helper, and this time the helper ordered her to go back to the room and think about it behind closed doors.

said that it was thought about, but in fact it was house arrest in disguise. For a while, the hearts of the people in Su Musha's courtyard floated, but she didn't feel angry, she only felt discouraged.

Silent depression shrouded the entire courtyard, and the maids and women in the courtyard were mixed with a sense of grumbling frustration between their actions and words, complaining that the peaceful days had just passed less than two years and they had suffered.

The old man in the house still remembers clearly, more than ten years ago, because of this young lady, there was a major purge in the house. It can be seen that this young lady is unlucky who is unlucky.

Chuncao stood timidly aside, it had been three days since Su Wan'er ordered the young lady to think about it behind closed doors. She still remembers the moment when Su Musha appeared in front of her three days ago with the corpse of the embroidered painting, and she still remembers the scene when she buried the embroidered painting under the thick camphor tree in the courtyard with her own hands......

Chuncao came back to her senses and asked softly, "Miss, do you want to write in big characters?" Yueqin hasn't played for a while, isn't it dusty when it hangs on the wall? Miss doesn't often say that musical instruments such as the zither are the most delicate, and they must be carefully maintained. ”

"No need."

Su Musha's gaze swept over the round neck-length Yueqin hanging on the wall, and finally shook his head boredly.

Chuncao bit her lower lip, and said to herself: "Some time ago, wasn't Miss looking through the 'Famous Sword Spectrum', and said that if you want to make an antique weapon, it is better to transcribe a few more sword diagrams, and ask someone to see if there is a blacksmith who can build it." ”

Su Musha smiled bitterly when he heard this, how could he still have the leisure to ponder the sword diagram at the moment.

Looking at Su Mu's listless appearance, Chuncao couldn't help but say, "Miss, it's already a great grace to her that you let the embroidery painting into the ground...... In fact, if she had the courage to seduce her uncle and young master, she should have thought that she would end up today. ”

Hearing this, Su Musha sighed lightly and said, "I hate her too." ”

These words are a little headless and endless, Chuncao screamed softly, and explained with a little weakness: "Miss, it's not because I hate her...... That's what I said......" she muttered, and finally sighed and said, "I don't want her to be well, but I haven't hoped for her to die, let alone hope that she will die without a body." ”

Chuncao said and thought of the scene when she was assigned to this courtyard with Xiuhua more than ten years ago, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, Sister Xiuhua was also a good one at the beginning. ”

Su Musha closed her eyes and replied, "Who was a bad person in the first place," she covered her eyes with her hands, "I just think she's a little pitiful." Although she hated it, she did not sin to death. ”

At this point, Su Musha asked again: "How is your brother after taking the medicine I made?" ”

Haruka sighed lightly and did not answer.

"That medicine can only make him feel a little more comfortable when he is addicted, and it will not cure the symptoms," Su Musha took the small porcelain bottle containing fairy water on the bookcase and held it in his palm, "This bottle of fairy water is too small, it will be used up after a few steaming, I can only speculate on one of the ingredients, if only I could go out and buy a few more bottles." ”

Chuncao's face was sad, and she comforted softly: "Miss has done her best." ”

"Without the Holy Lingzhi, I can only make some tranquilizers to relieve addiction first, don't be anxious, I'll think of a way," Su Musha said and raised his eyes to look at Chuncao, "If you also have a grudge against me in your heart in the future, don't be as stupid as embroidery and be used in vain." ”

Chuncao was startled, and hurriedly confessed: "Miss, I, I don't dare......"

Su Musha sealed his finger on his lips and sighed: "Don't be nervous, your brother's business ......"

Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk......

A sound of footsteps interrupted her words, and the person who came stopped in front of the door, and then a female voice sounded: "Miss, the helper has something to look for you." ”

(Heroine's diary 9: On the fifth day of June in the first year of the founding of the first year, the rain was pouring down, and Xiaobai ate all the poisonous insects I caught, and rolled in place if he didn't give it food...... I originally thought I had picked a baby, but who knew that I had invited an ancestor...... )
