The sun was sinking in the west, and the trees on the dirt slope behind the house were still chirping hard to remind them of the summer heat.

Xiao Yu sat in the shade at the bottom of the tree and took a basket with Xiao Pei to choose wild vegetables. She had actually thought about moving for a long time, and immediately shook her head and said, "If you move away at this time, it will be more suspicious." ”

Xiao Yucheng had just fed the hare and walked over, and when he heard the two of them say this, he said disapprovingly: "The miasma land of southern Xinjiang has always been full of witch doctors and poisons, and there are more people who understand this. The ancestors of the Xiao family are also good at poisoning, are they all from the poison sect? If it weren't for the fact that when I was a grandfather, I was dedicated to studying and making progress, thinking that this was a crooked way and unwilling to learn it again, maybe my sister and brother would also be good at it. ”

"That's just as well." Xiao Pei listened reasonably, and his face turned slow.

Xiao Yucheng said: "But then again, these poison techniques are usually not passed on, and almost all of the people in Nanyue who are proficient in poison are not simple, especially the slang people are the best." It is true that ordinary people do not have anything to do with drugs. ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his life experience.

"So the origin of Feng's widow/woman should not be simple." Xiao Yucheng continued, "The last time I met the uncle of the Zhou family, we went up the mountain together. On the way, I passed by Widow Feng's house, and the uncle of the Zhou family mentioned it slightly, saying that Widow Feng eloped with her husband to the village, and then became a relative. When I first moved here, I was very particular about everything, and I think I had a family background. ”

Xiao Pei couldn't help but think of the past when he heard this: "Although there are some who teach foreign disciples, there are indeed many in the family that have been passed down from generation to generation. Speaking of family history, I heard my father mention it when I was a child, and my grandfather once told him that the ancestor of the Xiao family was the guard of King Zhao, the ancestor of the Yue Kingdom, but the family tree was not recorded, and many outsiders did not know it, so I don't know if it is true or false. ”

"King Xianyue's guard?" Xiao Yu's heart shook slightly, so to speak, in fact, she and the Xiao family can be regarded as related?

Xiao Yucheng said on the side: "Grandfather didn't learn most of the poison because it was passed on to women and not to men. Yuedi has always been the queen in power, and many families and tribes under it are also valued by women. Maybe the ancestor of the Praetorian Guard was a woman. It is only in recent years that the atmosphere in the Central Plains has gradually moved southward, and the Yue Di has changed. ”

Xiao Yu nodded, this also makes sense.

"At the beginning, the guards of King Yue were also very glorious, why didn't there be one on the genealogy? Besides, others don't know. It can be seen that it is not true. Xiao Yucheng said again.

After the dishes were finished while speaking, Xiao Pei shook his head and smiled: "I don't know about this." The two of you chat, let Ah Yu know more, and when the time comes, you will say that you learned the ancestral poison technique. I'll go cook first. ”

Xiao Yu was quite interested in this matter, so he responded with a smile.

Xiao Yucheng said afar: "Zhongzhou is generally known as the land of the Southern Barbarians, but the leader is not a slang. It is said that the Su family of the Yue King is not a native of Yue, but the descendants of the northerners who migrated from the Central Plains and intermarried with the local aborigines. No one pointed to his foreign identity, let alone an uncivilized barbarian, but he was still in the first place in the Gaomen clan. ”

"Aren't the clans such as the Cui family, the Liang family, and even the royal Li family all have Hu blood? Does anyone dare to call it nonsense? In other words, since your ancestors may be related to the Yuedi royal family and understand poison, there are no treasure maps and poison recipes left? Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Nope."

Xiao Yucheng glanced at Xiao Yu suspiciously, not understanding why she asked this. In fact, when he was young, he really vaguely heard his great-grandfather mention what treasures he was guarding.

Xiao Yu was joking, but when he didn't want to, he saw Xiao Yucheng looking like he wanted to say something, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yucheng hesitated, but still shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

Xiao Yu didn't care, went into the house and took out the poison spectrum and said, "Then keep this, in case someone comes to get to the bottom of it, there will be an explanation." ”

"It's not going to work, it's your ancestor, after all." Xiao Pei just came out of the kitchen and said busily.

"The ancestral mastery is still with me." Xiao Yu said bluntly, "I am also going to teach you the two of you the basic poison arts, you can learn this book first after you get started, as long as you don't have harmful intentions, there is no harm in learning some poison." ”

Xiao Yucheng couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

The weather was really hot, and Xiao Yu had been preparing various potions in the cool medicine room under the east room at noon these days.

This dark room was quietly dug by the three siblings when they were tidying up the yard, and only a few of them knew about it, and it could be used to store valuables or take refuge.

Through the dim light, Xiao Yu prepared several pills of heat and dampness, sealed them into a blue and white porcelain vase, and then put them in the lattice on the wall according to their categories.

The medicine cabinet against the wall in the room was specially made by a carpenter, and a total of two were made. The bottom is mostly stocked with those rare herbs and all the poisons/medicines, as well as some valuable pills; Stay in the medicine cabinet in the east room and put common herbs and potions.

It had been half an hour since he came down, and it was estimated that it was almost time for dinner, Xiao Yu took the newly prepared pills, climbed up from the ladder, opened the secret door on the floor and returned to the east room.

Outside, the sun was bright, the heat was blowing, and there was a sound of talking.

Xiao Yu put the medicine in the medicine cupboard, felt strange in his heart, straightened his clothes and opened the door. Tomorrow is Xiu Mu, and it stands to reason that Hao Jun will not come, and it doesn't sound like his loud voice. It's time for dinner, who's going to come and hang out?

"I said that Ah Yu is resting, she must not be the person you are looking for." Xiao Pei's voice came into her ears, she was soft-spoken on weekdays, but today her voice was exceptionally crisp, and she was also a little angry, "Ergouzi, you brought someone to the door for no reason, let's go to Li Zheng to comment, can this be reasonable?" ”

Someone came to the door? Xiao Yu only felt that his heart was pounding fast, closed the door and locked it, stabilized his mind, and walked to the window to listen carefully. The second dog is really a scourge, I don't know who he brought over? I don't know where those people came from, and who they came from.

"Miss Xiao, we don't have any malicious intentions, I just took the liberty to ask, is the second girl in the house really not surnamed Su?"

It was a deep male voice, and it sounded quite young.

Xiao Yu's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

"I said her surname was Xiao." Xiao Pei was obviously angry, "You guys are mistaken, Ah Yu only knows a little about medicine, where can it poison people?" ”

The villagers gathered at the door were talking and noisy.

Xiao Yu remembered that Xiao Yucheng went to the slope to dig wild vegetables and was not at home, Xiao Pei didn't know if he could handle it alone, and was hesitating to go out immediately, when Aunt Qi's voice sounded.

"Don't wronged good people, Second Sister Xiao usually uses medicine to save people, and she is the most kind."

Wang Baozhu's family even pointed at the second dog and scolded: "You are not as good as a wolf-hearted dog, a pig, a dog, and a bite if you steal your sister's medicine, who in Niujiao Village doesn't know what kind of dirty thing you are!" ”

The young man led by him was good-looking, well-dressed, and dignified, and he arched his hand and said: "Miss Xiao, you misunderstood, I just indicated that the person you are looking for should be poisonous, and I did not say that she harmed others." The second girl of your house may be the daughter of the deceased of the head of the family, and her status is precious, so she can't bear to suffer outside. ”

Xiao Pei was a little touched, glanced at the person next to him, and still said quietly: "My family Ayu didn't mention that she has any old friends, please go back." ”

"These people are good at." Wang Baozhu's family muttered in a low voice, "What good things can the people brought by the second dog." What else do you say about having an old relationship with the second sister, don't bring the reputation of Dr. Xiao. ”

These words fell into the man's ears, and he couldn't help frowning and glancing at the second dog, before he said again: "Yes or no, just ask the second girl to come out and ask." ”
