A group of several people followed the maid to the so-called hot springs, each carrying a bamboo basket containing a towel and a change of clothes.

The night in the north had already begun to get cold, and Mu Jinrou and the three of them were wearing big wool cloaks to wrap themselves tightly. Although I was cool, I still wanted to take a hot bath, but I haven't washed it for four days, and my body is going to stink.

After walking for a short time, I turned a corner, and at the foot of the hill there was a row of houses, where there was a burst of hot air, and there was a not-so-obvious smell of sulfur in the air.

Mu Jinrou looked around, this place belongs to a semi-enclosed mountain recess, it is dark and you can't see the scenery clearly, but you can also see that there are a lot of trees, the only exit is the entrance, if something happens...... The consequences are unimaginable.

If nothing else, let's take the fire attack as an example, block the exit, and people must not be burned here.

For a while, Mu Jinrou was worried, she had long known that this trip was dangerous, but what could she do?

The palace maid who brought them said, "There are three bathrooms here, please choose one of the three girls." ”

Luo Erniang continued: "It seems that we came the earliest, so you're welcome." ”

They all know the importance of choosing first, otherwise the remaining one is likely to be trapped. What will be the trap for women? It's nothing more than poison.

As soon as these words fell, someone walked out of the other two rooms, and Mu Jinpei, who walked out of the east, nodded at Mu Jinrou, said hello, and went in with an empty wooden barrel.

It was the crescent moon that came out from the west, and she looked at Mu Jinrou and smiled, laughing so much that people's hearts were furious.

The palace maid was immediately embarrassed and hurriedly bowed down to apologize. "It's all slaves and maids who are not good, I thought we were the first to come, please take care of the girls."

Bai Forsythia smiled: "It's okay. Isn't it just a bathroom? I don't know what to do with my girls? I haven't taken a shower in four days, and it stinks. ”

The palace maid smiled and said: "They go with the slaves, and there is a big bathroom on the other side, and this will be the bathing place for the girls in the future." Tomorrow the slave maid will come again and take the girls to the horse farm to choose horses. ”

And just like that, their girls were taken away.

Mu Jinrou and the three of them carried their own bamboo baskets, you look at me, I look at yours. No one wants to go in.

Luo Erniang said: "I always feel that something is wrong here. ”

Mu Jinrou also nodded, "I'm afraid that a snake will suddenly appear when I wash it, and it will still be poisonous." ”

White Forsythia snorted, "What are you talking about?" This is a hot spring, and snakes are afraid of heat. ”

But Mu Jinrou continued: "I haven't heard of boiled frogs in warm water. ”

Then the three of them were speechless.

Mu Jinrou was more worried than them, and whispered: "You know that I have a bad relationship with Concubine De. ”

After a short silence, Bai Forsythia held a small porcelain vase and said, "Why don't we try it first." Do not go into the water. ”

In the middle bathroom. The steaming heat is a natural pool two meters square, and there are real rocks on the side. The rest of the place is paved with wooden planks, but it is considered clean.

The white forsythia sprinkled the powder in the porcelain bottle around the hot spring and explained: "This is my homemade poison-inducing insect powder, and the range that can be drawn is very small, so I don't know if it is useful under the smell of sulfur." ”

After speaking, the three of them stared at the hot springs on the side. I don't touch the water, who knows if there is poison in it.

I haven't seen any movement for a long time. Luo Erniang said: "Or, let's try it with a silver needle?" ”

Mu Jinrou rolled her eyes, "Sister Luo, silver objects will turn black when they are placed in the hot spring, whether they are poisonous or not, they can't be tried." ”

Bai Forsythia nodded and said, "That's right, the hot spring water is like that." The water is not very hot, and some frozen snakes and insects are still very comfortable in it. ”

As soon as they spoke, all three of them felt sick.

Think about it, if you take off the clean and slippery water, but there are colorful poisonous snakes swimming around, how terrifying would it be?

Suddenly, there was movement in the water, and then the three of them saw a red snake swimming out of the water, spitting out the core and swimming towards the powder.

This is not over, another green snake came out, and there is a black line on the back of this green snake, which is very weird. Look, there are even more amazing scorpions that have come out of those stones.

"This, this, this is a poison pit!" Luo Erniang was so frightened that she hid behind the two of them and shivered.

Mu Jinrou was not very bold, and held the dagger tightly.

Bai Forsythia snorted coldly, "This is really a big deal, have you seen that green snake, it is called a line of green, it is a poisonous snake raised by people." The more poisonous the black line, the darker it is, on the other hand, the red flower snake can't be on the table, this should be an ordinary poisonous snake in the mountains, and this scorpion is also in the mountains. ”

Mu Jinrou suddenly thought of the idea, "Could it be that the snake is not the same person, but two people?" ”

"Hmm. Is this thing extinguished or stayed? The white forsythia stared at the green snake as if it were looking at the enemy.

Mu Jinrou was a little embarrassed, and said to herself: "If it is extinguished, the other party will know that it is our hand, if it is not destroyed, it is likely that the palace maid will be bitten to death when she comes to clean it up." Is it to startle the snake or not to save it? ”

"Extinguish!" In the end, Mu Jinrou chose to startle the snake, after all, the palace maid is also a human life, and she is not ruthless enough not to take human life seriously.

"Extinguish it." Luo Erniang also said, "Keeping this thing is harmful." ”

Bai Forsythia smiled slightly, she also wanted to kill this line of green, this is a poison king cultivated by a special person, she thought of a person. I don't know how the guy who has lost the natal poison king can fight with her, the master of the Medicine King Valley!

"Good! Look at mine. Bai Forsythia took out a pill the size of a broad bean and said, "This line of green has not yet reached maturity, and it is the right time to extinguish it." Listen to my command to hold your breath for a while! ”

"Hmm." The two nodded in unison.

Bai Forsythia grabbed the pill between his fingers, took a deep breath, and then threw it hard, while shouting, "Shut up!" ”

Mu Jinrou and Luo Erniang suddenly held their breath and remained motionless.

After the pill flew out, the green snake turned into a cloud of white mist, and the green snake wanted to escape when it saw that it was not good, but the white mist instantly drilled into the body of the green snake, and the snake stiffened.

"It's time to gasp." Forsythia gasped, as if the blow had drained all her strength. His face turned pale and crumbling in an instant.

Mu Jinrou and Luo Erniang hurriedly supported her, "Are you okay?" ”

White Forsythia shook her head. With a happy face, "You go out first, I'll put away the snake, which is a great poison to others, but it is a treasure to me." ”

Mu Jinrou also knew that some poisons were actually good medicines, so she took another look at the snake. I found that the red flower snake and the scorpions had turned their bellies and died. She didn't say anything and pulled Luo Erniang out of the bathroom.

As soon as they got out of the bathroom, the two of them wrapped their big wool cloaks tightly, looking at the cool crescent moon, worried.

At this moment, a woman dressed in the clothes of an ordinary maid walked over. This woman doesn't look like a maid when she walks, she looks a little graceful.

Luo Erniang whispered to herself, "What a pretty girl." ”

She's also a quick talker, and this girl isn't a good one at first glance. Whose slave twists his waist so badly? I'm not afraid to fold.

Mu Jinrou pursed her lips and smiled. "Maybe it's some young handmaid encamped in the west."

"Huh!" The two of them chuckled, thinking of those young masters in fine clothes and fine food, there was really this possibility.

Who knew that the pretty girl came straight to Mu Jinrou, bowed slightly and said, "Say hello to the county lord of Jinrou." ”

"You are?" Mu Jinrou was depressed, could it be that Li Yi got this girl?

"The slave Xi'er is the second young master's personal maidservant. The second young master was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the county lord to bathe here, so he sent a slave to bathe elsewhere on behalf of the county lord. Xi'er said respectfully.

But Mu Jinrou didn't see where she was respectful, and only listened to the "personal maid" in her heart.

Luo Erniang coughed and said, "Who are your second young masters?" ”

Xi'er said: "It's Li Yili commanding the envoy." He can't get out now. Specially sent slaves and maids to serve the county lord. ”

Mu Jinrou finally heard it, this Xi'er seemed to be here to show off to her. It's just a slave. What is there to show off? But the situation here is unknown, and it would be good to paralyze her.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Is what Xi'er said serious? My two sisters and I really don't like it here, so I'm thinking about going back and boiling some water to wash it. I didn't expect to wait for Xi'er, it's really our lucky star. ”

Xi'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said she didn't dare. She didn't let go of Mu Jinrou's expression just now, first full of anger and then aggrieved. For a while, I remembered the words of Mrs. Funai Mei's instructions, and it was really like that.

"The county lord has won the prize." Xi'er still bowed very well-behaved, but the smile on her face betrayed her, and the smile was charming and moving.

Just when Mu Jinrou was crying out in her heart, Bai Forsythia came out and said, "What kind of Xi'er fruit, don't you lead the way quickly, don't you see that we are tired?" ”

Xi'er frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on her face, but she knew that the girls who could stand here were not something she could afford to provoke, so she immediately led the way.

Bai Forsythia came to Mu Jinrou's ear and whispered, "Why do you give this cheap hoof a good look?" ”

Mu Jinrou sneered, "Haven't you heard that the king of Hades is so difficult to see little ghosts?" Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. ”

Bai Forsythia smiled: "Just listen to you." ”

followed Xi'er and didn't walk a few steps away when they met Xiao Wu who came to pick them up, but Xiao Wu seemed to be stunned when he saw Xi'er.

Then he saluted Mu Jinrou and said, "County Lord, please come with the little one, there is a small hot spring not far ahead, it is very safe here." ”

Mu Jinrou nodded, thinking, I'm afraid that Xiao Wu was sent by Li Yi, so she said to Xi'er: "Xi'er, you just wait for our maids here, I'm afraid that they won't find us in a hurry." ”

As he spoke, he walked away without looking back.

"It's ......." Leaving Xi'er to stomp her feet in place, she hasn't shown off enough, as long as she plants the seeds of doubt in Mu Jinrou's heart, it will be easy for her to approach the second young master in the future.

When he came to the destination, Xiao Wucai said: "County Lord, that Xi'er didn't say anything to you." ”

Mu Jinrou asked rhetorically: "What will she tell me?" ”

"No, nothing." Xiao Wu didn't know how to say it, so he just said: "Please come here to bathe in the future, I'm afraid it's not safe elsewhere." Our young master can't leave, please forgive me! ”

And then walked away without saying anything.

Mu Jinrou pursed the corners of her lips, "What does it matter to me." ”

White Forsythia was the first to enter the hot spring room, checked it as usual, and said, "Safe." Sisters hurry up and wash, tomorrow you have to get up early. ”

She placed the bamboo basket far away and wrapped it tightly in a piece of cloth.

Mu Jinrou and Luo Erniang also quickly jumped into the water to wash, not ashamed of the hot springs, after two quarters of an hour, they were much less tired, and some wanted to fall asleep.

When I went out, I found that the lotus flowers were waiting at the door, and that Xi'er was gone.

Mu Jinrou was so tired that she went back to her tent under the leadership of the maids.

Lotus checked inside and outside the tent, and then she got into the bed.

"Alas, a groggy day, troubles begin." Mu Jinrou sighed, there are many things that can't be analyzed, so let's sleep beautifully.

When they all returned to the tent, Cherry came out of the white forsythia tent and sprinkled some yellow powder around the three tents, "Now I'm not afraid of poisonous insects burrowing into the tent." ”

Inside the tent, Cherry looked at the green snake that was still sleeping in the glass bottle, and sighed: "Miss, let's send it, this is the poison king that has been cultivated for many years." With her, there are many antidotes that can be made. ”

Bai Forsythia was a little excited, and whispered: "That's, don't look at who made it." How did the people of the Poison King Valley teach such a brainless apprentice and release a glimmer of green in front of me, isn't this a good medicine for me? ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and refine the medicine, I'm afraid it will change later." Cherry was the first to press her hand to the glass bottle.

"Good!" Forsythia took out another pill and put it in the bottle.

The visible snake woke up and opened its mouth wide to scream, but the pill had already turned into powder and submerged it, and soon the snake merged with the powder into a small half-bottle of cyan water.

"Poof!" At the same time, in a small cave in the mountain, a pale young man spat out a mouthful of blood, "Xiaoqing is dead? ”

Mu Jinrou had a good night's sleep, and was woken up by a lotus flower the next day.

After freshening up, it is beautiful to look at the green mountains not far away, shrouded in mist and mist. The royal courtyard behind him also shone brightly in the sun, and smoke rose from the vicinity of each tent, and the colors in his eyes seemed to come alive all at once.

Mu Jinrou was also completely sober, and the morning of mid-August was chilly, but it could also make people calm down. She can also think of a lot of things, and this morning she should have gone to choose a horse, which is a big deal.

Riding a horse is a bit difficult for the ladies of the Great Xia Dynasty, but if they can't ride a horse, what do they do with the hunt? So Mu Jinrou learned to ride a horse early, of course, just knowing how to ride.

The distance between the tents was large enough to run away from the horses, and because of this, the crescent moon from the Turks became arrogant.

Here Mu Jinrou was sitting on the small bench thinking about things, when a cold wind blew, and then a pheasant with arrows was thrown in front of her.

Crescent Moon rode a tall horse, looked down at her, and sneered, "Let's compete!" ”

Mu Jinrou glanced at her, took two steps back with a small stool, and said, "This is a good white fox cloak of mine, can you afford to pay for it?" Want to write another IOU? ”

Crescent Moon snorted coldly, "Are you scared?" Then I don't embarrass you, whoever calls the girls of the Great Xia Dynasty are cowardly. I heard that your cooking skills are very good, so let's compare your cooking skills, do you dare to fight? (To be continued.) )
