Zhang Qi picked a pill and stuffed it into the mouse's mouth, waited for the mouse to swallow it, took a straw rope to tie the mouse's limbs, and poured it out to prevent the mouse from escaping.

The matter of medicine was put aside for the time being, and when I talked about the strange things in the forest, I took the broken porcelain in my hand and looked at it, and I really saw a little difference.

"This porcelain fetus is delicate and soft, and it doesn't look like it's sold in a pharmacy outside." Zheng Ke's heart is as meticulous as a hair, starting from the subtleties, and observing the slight differences.

"Why can't I tell if it's real or fake?" Meng Zhou took the porcelain piece on the ground again and looked closer, but he didn't think it was special.

"Whoever has a similar medicine bottle on it, just compare it." Zheng Ke looked at the remaining three, this was the easiest way to identify.

"Hey, how did I forget." Meng Zhou patted his thigh, immediately stood up and said, "I happen to have an empty bottle, I'll go get it now." Then he turned and went to his tent.

"Porcelain bottles are fragile and occupy space, generally when going out, there are few porcelain bottles to fill medicine, most of them are wrapped in three layers of oiled paper, and they can be carried around." Wu Qi did this himself, and the medicine he carried with him did not need to be in porcelain bottles.

"It is also possible to hang it on a tree in a paper wrapper, so others can't see it, so I use a porcelain vase to target a big one." Zhang Qi said his opinion.

"Not impossible." Zheng Ke didn't realize that Zhang Qi's words were random speculation.

"Did you say the people before us saw this kind of vase?" The porcelain piece in Wu Yue's hand was thrown, and the porcelain piece went up and down in the air and fell back into his hand.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Qi shook his head, "Even if those people see it, it is estimated that no one dares to take it, and it is possible that they will take a detour, or the location of the porcelain bottle will be hidden, and others will not care about it." ”

"If you want to know if those people have got the vase, you'll have to wait for the evening." People will definitely have to come back, and they will find out when they ask.

"Here comes the bottle." As soon as Meng Zhou entered the door, he threw the bottle in his hand directly at Wu Yue, and happily walked to his place and sat down.

Wu Yue took it and compared one or two in his hand, and it was really as Zheng Cao said. The material of the bottle is slightly different, and he handed the bottle to Zheng Ke.

The four of them took turns to compare and found that there was really a problem, and they wondered in their hearts that Zheng Ke's eyes were like torches. Otherwise, there is a clue to which Ya.

"What's the use of comparing differences?" Meng Zhou held the bottle in one hand and the porcelain piece in the other, wrinkling his face.

"Use your brain." Zhang Qi laughed at Meng Zhou, "Where did your porcelain vase come from?" ”

"This is still my father spent money to ask the imperial doctor in the palace to buy, it contains a universal medicine powder for the treatment of skin trauma and internal injuries, I dislike it with a porcelain bottle and it will break." Meng Zhou explained the provenance of the bottle.

"What!" Zhang Qi was surprised, looked Meng Zhou up and down, and said in disbelief: "You got this bottle from the imperial doctor, so these broken porcelains are much better than the bottle in your hand." ”

"yes, what's going on?" The more Meng Zhou listened, the more confused he became. No matter how you say it, you should have your own porcelain vase.

Wu Yue and Zheng Ke glanced at each other, and a faint answer appeared in their hearts, and sighed under the incomprehensible gazes of Zhang Qi and Meng Zhou: "It may be something from the palace." Zheng Ke didn't dare to say it to death, after all, there was no evidence to prove it.

"In the palace, am I not here?" After Meng Zhou said this, he sat up in shock. "This, this is ......"

"Slurry and spit out." Zhang Qi disdainfully shì Meng Zhou made a fuss, "Isn't it used by the nobles in the palace, to put it bluntly, maybe it's the thing of the Wing King." ”

"Nonsense!" Meng Zhou immediately retorted, "How could the things of the Winged King be hung outside, which slave who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall stole the master's things?" ”

Zhang Qi listened to Meng Zhou's words and looked up and sighed. "Why don't you think about the right path, who would dare to steal without the permission of the Wing King, and live impatiently."

"I, I'm not ......" Meng Zhou's face was flushed by Zhang Qi's depreciation, and he was embarrassed.

Zheng Cao thought calmly, his eyes fixed on the five pills on the ground. Excluding the pills for the rats, a total of six, the pills in the general porcelain bottle should be ten to fifteen, six, this number......

"I've been talking about it for a long time. Is the rat dead? In order to avoid being ridiculed by Zhang Qi again, Meng Zhou started to talk differently.

"Really." Zhang Qi stood up and went to pick up the big mouse that he had dropped in the corner.

"How?" Meng Zhou was desperate to find out if the pill was poisonous.

"It's okay, it's alive and well." Zhang Qi approached with the tail of the mouse, and the mouse in his hand kept scurrying in the air, as if he wanted to break free from the claws.

"Hey, really." Meng Zhou's eyes widened, and he looked at the mouse in Zhang Qi's hand with a smile.

"We'll keep one pill for the rest of the medicine." Zheng Cao threw out a puzzling sentence.

"What are you doing here?" Meng Zhou touched his head and said suspiciously, "Even if it's not poisonous, it's not certain that this medicine can be eaten." ”

"Take it just in case." Zheng Ke himself couldn't tell whether it was useful to do this, and he wanted to leave these pills inexplicably.

"What's in case?" Meng Zhou muttered, picked up one of the pills and put it into the porcelain bottle he brought, isn't it that it is not troublesome to carry a pill on his body.

"What do you think of?" Wu Yue asked as he put away the pills on the ground.

"Not sure, wait for the out-of-town people to come back." Ask about the situation to judge whether there is any basis for what you think, Zheng Cao did not elaborate.

"Okay." Zhang Qi didn't care much, so he started his own part.

"There's one left." Wu Yue looked at Zheng Cao, who would take the last one.

"Crush and spill to the door." Zheng Ke said, "In the past two days, Meng Zhou and Zhang Qi moved to me and Wu Yue to crowd here. "In case of accidents, the four of them must be together.

"It's okay, so as not to be left alone." Zhang Qi responded first, "I'll go and pack my things." ”

"I'll go too." Meng Zhou immediately followed, and when he walked to the door, he didn't forget to shout, "Throw your rat out, it's dirty." ”

"Wait, don't throw the rat yet." Zheng Ke stopped Zhang Qi, "I'll see it at night." He is not at ease, he is afraid that the medicine will be mixed with chronic poisons, and it is safest to observe for a period of time.

Zhang Qi thought for a while, understood what Zheng Cao meant, threw the mouse back to the original corner, and packed up his things with Meng Zhou.

Things are easy to pack, a few clothes, shoes, and the usual items for wound medicine, there are not many things, Zheng rolled up, and the tent is not too crowded for four people.

"Do you want to keep a vigil at night?" In the past few days, people have been panicking, and they don't sleep with a solid night, Meng Zhou didn't sleep well last night, which is to blame for those night owls, who don't sleep at night and go out to explore the road.

"Two two?" It's boring to be alone, Zhang Qi doesn't want to stay alone.

"Two of them." Be safer, Zheng Cao is worried that someone will make a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

"I'm in a group with Meng Zhou." Zhang Qi volunteered. "We're keeping watch for the middle of the night."

"Why am I in a group with you?" Meng Zhou was not happy, Zhang Qi always found fault with himself, and was said to be afraid.

"Why didn't I dislike you, you disliked me first." Zhang Qi glared at Meng Zhou. The guts are fat!

Meng Zhou looked at Zhang Qi and then at Wu Yue and Zheng Cao, lamenting that his fate was not good, and he had no choice but to agree. Isn't it just that I'm in a group with Zhang Qi, there's nothing to be afraid of, just say it, and don't lose a piece of meat, and I feel a lot better when I figure it out.

"That's it." Wu Yue warned Zhang Qi with his eyes, don't bully the honest man Meng Zhou, be careful that Meng Zhou is really annoyed, and he can't be coaxed to come back to look good.

Zhang Qi blinked to indicate that he understood. Who has the heart to tease Meng Zhou, a stupid big man, at night, listening to the movement outside is the most important thing.

"I'll go around and see what I can get out of it." Wu Yue thought about it carefully and decided to walk around during the day to explore the way.

"I agree." Zhang Qi was the first to raise his hand.

After lunch, the four of them went to different directions to explore the way. I didn't come back until it was almost dark, and the journey was smooth, and no porcelain vases were found.

After dinner, the four of them went separately and went elsewhere to inquire if the groups of people who had come out in the morning had come back and what new discoveries had been made.

Half an hour later, the four of them returned and went into their tents. He sat down and was relatively speechless for a while.

"You too?" Meng Zhou was shocked when he saw the faces of the other three.

"There were a lot of people on the side where I went that they didn't see any of those groups come back." It's all dark, and those people haven't returned since they left in the morning, it's too unreasonable, Zhang Qi frowned and looked suspicious.

"It's the same situation on my side as yours." Zheng Cao sighed, he didn't expect this to be the case.

"Same." Wu Yue didn't have the strength to speak. I feel uneasy.

"I'm not going to talk about it." Meng Zhou had already said before that the same result would not bring the answer they wanted, and a panic could not help but rise in his heart.

"Mass disappearance or scattered ambush?" Zhang Qi was a little afraid to imagine.

"Why don't you say they all ran out of this forest?" Meng Zhou muttered, and his heart beat a drum.

"They are forbidden troops, how can anyone try to violate the regulations of the forbidden army." This is said to be clear. Even Zhang Qi himself didn't dare to bite to death.

"Missing and attacking, there are immeasurable accidents." Zheng Ke pondered for a long time and said, "Do you know anyone who is missing, do they have any news?" ”

"I've asked, but I don't know." Meng Zhou felt a sense of powerlessness.

"It's the same on my side, mostly shaken." Zhang Qi raised his head and sighed lightly, things were not as smooth as expected.

"Maybe we're stuck somewhere, this valley is already large, and we weren't familiar with the terrain outside the perimeter when we first came in." Wu Yue held on to his luck and calmed his chaotic heart.

"Heh, don't think about sleeping this night." Zhang Qi flicked his finger and said indifferently, "It's much more chaotic over there than we are here, so many people have disappeared out of thin air, and the longer the time drags on, the easier it is to have accidents." ”

"People's hearts, the most unbearable temptations, and the least frightened." Zhang Qi sighed with emotion, expressed his feelings, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"I'm not worried about safety." Zheng Ke said: "The Wing King will definitely not do anything. "He's the King of Letters, and he's all around.

"Maybe." Zhang Qi doesn't report too much hope, and the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

"I believe Zheng Cao's words." Wu Yue agreed with Zheng Cao's statement that the Wing King had no reason to frame them, and no matter which point of view, there was no conflict of interest between them and the Wing King.

"Uh-huh." Zhang Qi raised his chin and said: "Life is worry-free, what can we do, we are not still trapped in this deep mountain, the Wing King has not shown up for a long time for some reason, we play a guess game here every day, I don't know if those people are crazy or not, I really can't stand it." ”

"Don't be so pessimistic." Meng Zhou listened to Zhang Qi's words, his heart was difficult to calm down, and he had to pretend that he didn't care, it was really not human.

"Don't say it, sleep, it's useless to think more." Zheng Cao stopped the atmosphere from spreading in a bad direction, once people's emotions are out of control, they will do unimaginable things, especially in this helpless situation, they need to pay special attention.

"Where can I sleep?" As soon as he closed his eyes, a tragic scene involuntarily appeared in his mind, Zhang Qi smiled bitterly, when did he get mixed up with this. In the past, he was not even afraid of killing.

"If you want to do something good, or reminisce about interesting things in the past, you can't keep your eyes open until dawn." Wu Yue rubbed his face, trying to relieve the fatigue on his face.

"Cut. How light is what you say. Zhang Qi sneered, "It's good to be really not afraid of danger." ”

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, how many pairs of eyes see those who go to explore the team into the forest and never come back, all kinds of speculation and discussion, the depressed atmosphere is permeating the surroundings, everyone has more or less thick worries on their faces, they are like people locked in a small black house, surrounded by depression and unknown, but the small black house here has been replaced by a mountain forest with no end in sight.

There are bold pullers who take advantage of the cover of the night to go in the other direction, staying where they are and can only endure endless waiting. No one knows if the Wing King has given up on them, and in order to have a fight, whether it is life or death, he must find out the reason.

The restless feelings are expanding little by little. Someone started things more and more out of control, nervous and helpless surrounded him, how can he really calm down and think. People are selfish, and if they are trapped in a place for a long time, even if there is a good future in front of them, they will hesitate, and the personal guard of the Wing King said it well. The Wing King has not shown up so far, who can know where these people will go in the future, and it is only right to think more about themselves.

Someone explored the road overnight. It is also under the gaze of everyone that it is not in the night, there are one and there are two, and the restless heart is gradually fermenting, no one wants to die here, maybe you can see hope when you go out.

If there is one, there will be two, and the second batch. The third group, in groups of six or seven or more than ten, set out into the night to find a real way out, as for the consequences of not obeying orders. They had no time to take care of it, and the full shock covered up the original fearless heart.

"Something's wrong." Zhang Qi couldn't stay idle, went to the other side of the residence, and quietly squatted in one place to watch the situation.

"What's the matter?" Wu Yue sat up and asked suddenly, the four of them couldn't sleep, they lay quietly, leaving a quiet room.

"Say it quickly." Meng Zhou was the most anxious and urged again and again.

"I saw some more people leaving in groups." Zhang Qi's face was solemn, and he went in the opposite direction from the morning. ”

"Those people are crazy!" Meng Zhou exclaimed.

"That's what I'm saying, going to explore the road in the middle of the night is not bad for looking for death." Zhang Qi was a little gloating.

"Why did you choose it at night?" Meng Zhou was puzzled, "The same is born in the forbidden army, why is the difference so big." ”

"I guess there's something wrong with my brain." Zhang Qi made a joke.

"Many of the forbidden army are children of families, like us real civilians." There was a shallow hint of jealousy in his voice, and Zhang Qi's heart was revealed.

"Don't say it's useless." Meng Zhou was anxious, "What are we going to do now?" ”

"To follow or not to follow?" Zhang Qi asked about the imminent matter.

"No." Wu Yue said firmly: "There will be no results if we keep up, and we will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest." "It's easy to find someone during the day, but you can't do anything at night when your eyes are dark.

"You don't have to follow, people are panicked, and the Wing King may appear." Zheng Cao reasoned, "The Winged King will not let the chaos go, even if it is not the Winged King, it will be the woman in red." ”

"Okay." Zhang Qi was wilted like a frosted eggplant, unable to lift his strength.

"Don't go out at night, lie down and sleep, don't have to keep vigil." Wu Yue spoke, "If you can't sleep, you can close your eyes and recuperate, and only when you have enough energy can you deal with what is about to happen next." ”

Zheng Cao nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Zhang Qi lost count of how many times he said it was good.

Meng Zhou follows the public, his brain is no more lively than the other three, so he won't cause chaos for everyone.

"What sound?" Zhang Qi, who had just lay down, sat up suddenly, his taut strings never relaxed, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of Suosuo.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yue and the three asked.

Zhang Qi looked at the place where the voice came from, suddenly smiled, folded his head and said, "Why did you forget, there is still a big mouse in the tent." "It was a rat gnawing on something, probably a straw rope tied to its limbs.

"Shocking." Meng Zhou patted his chest exaggeratedly.

"Come on, you're not a man." Zhang Qi rewarded Meng Zhou with a punch, got up and lit the oil lamp, and went to see the forgotten big mouse.

This look, well, the mouse was almost able to bite off the rope and run, but Zhang Qi heard the movement, and casually took the straw rope to tie the big mouse strongly, and even let go of his mouth, ensuring that he couldn't run again this time.

Zhang Qi didn't plan to release this unlucky mouse, so he had to wait until dawn tomorrow to determine how effective the medicine was.
