Chapter Seventy-Seven: White Powder
It was already afternoon when they returned to Lujiazhuang, and the three of them didn't care about eating, so they went directly to Lixiang Garden, where Ling Yu lived. There is Lu Meijiao in the east wing where Qinglang lives, if they go, they will definitely ask questions when the time comes, and it will definitely be inconvenient to study; Ye Xiaoyu's Nanyuan, since last night, has been a dangerous zone; Thinking about it, only Ling Yu lives in Lixiang Garden, which is safe and free from outside interference, is suitable for being used as a "real base" for analyzing this white powder.
When he arrived at Lixiang Garden, Qing Lang began to prepare the materials needed for the research on his own, originally thought it would be troublesome, but when Ye Xiaoyu saw the equipment that Qing Lang took out, he couldn't help but be disappointed, in fact, the so-called "materials" were just an oil lamp, a fire fold, and some straw paper. What kind of material is this?
However, Ling Yu was very caring, as soon as he returned to his residence and "settled" Ye Xiaoyu and them in the study, he immediately came out and instructed the little servant Ali to prepare a meal.
This is the first time Ye Xiaoyu has come to the house where Ling Yu lives, although she has been to Lixiang Yuan before, but this is the first time she has really stepped into the house. After going around, I couldn't help but sigh that sure enough, the status is different, and the treatment is different.
Ling Yuling's residence in this Lixiang Garden is not only elegant, but also the house is large and spacious, and the area is estimated to be more than 4 times larger than Ye Xiaoyu's residence in Nanyuan. There are independent large study rooms, large washing rooms, large bedrooms, halls and large courtyards...... Ye Xiaoyu found that her language was really not very good, and when describing such a magnificent independent courtyard, she would only use the word "big" to describe it.
Take the study where Ye Xiaoyu is now, needless to say, the space is large, the four walls of the study are carved exquisite wooden boards, carved with landscape figures, feather flowers, every frame is meticulous, and even the expressions of the characters are depicted into the wood. Or a vase of flowers on top; or stuffed with a scroll; The shape of the cabinet is varied, there are round, square, flower, and leaf shapes, at a glance, it is really a cluster of flowers, exquisite, dizzying, dazzling. Even if Ye Xiaoyu doesn't know anything about architectural carving, he knows that this must be from the hand of a famous carver.
There are also guqin and sword hanging on the wall, or it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate, because there are specially set up grooves on the wall to place these two things, and there is a saying that "although it hangs on the wall, it is level with the wall", which is a scene like this.
Although the Lu family said that it was a big family in Quanxiu Village, it was a farming family after all, and Lu Yishou himself said that he was not familiar with these literati things, but why did he build such a courtyard with a scholarly atmosphere. Ye Xiaoyu felt strange when she heard "Lixiang Yuan" for the first time before, the name of this literature and art did not match the village farmhouse at all, and now when she entered the place where Ling Yu lived, she saw that the decoration was so elegant, it was like a scholarly family, and such a delicate interior, which was simply unreasonable. What's even worse is that this courtyard, Ye Xiaoyu remembers, was uninhabited before Ling Yu came to Lu's house. However, if you want to say that the courtyard was built for Ling Yu when she was in the past, it is absolutely unreasonable.
"Cover your mouth and nose."
Ye Xiaoyu was in a trance, and was so frightened by Ling Yu's sudden sound that she hurriedly subconsciously made a move to cover her nose and mouth with her hands. Only then did they realize that at some point, they had already lit the oil lamp, and were about to put the white powder on the outer flame of the oil lamp, just like they put something on the alcohol lamp to burn when they were making a real thing.
"Oh, cover your mouth and nose with this."
Ling Yu saw that Ye Xiaoyu seemed to be out of the situation, so he handed her a handkerchief and told her to cover it. He and Sunny also wrapped handkerchiefs around their mouths and noses.
As soon as the white powder approached the oil lamp, it emitted bursts of white smoke, the powder itself was only a little bit, but the white smoke that came out was like a fire, the amount was huge, and the scope of spread was beyond Ye Xiaoyu's imagination. Now the whole room is full of smoke, and they are sitting opposite Ye Xiaoyu on a sunny day, but they are covered by the smoke, vague, and they don't see it very really, she only feels that there is a very good smell like jasmine, and the fresh fragrance has been drilling into her nose.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaoyu's hand was pulled up, and she was dragged out, and in a hazy way, she saw that it seemed to be Ling Yu, so she followed him and pulled her out.
It may be that the smoke in the house just now was too bad, and as soon as she got out of the study, Ye Xiaoyu began to cough constantly, as if she was going to cough out her lungs. The cough was unbearable, and Ye Xiaoyu could only squat on the ground.
"Are you alright?"
Ling Yu saw Ye Xiaoyu squatting on the ground coughing non-stop, and bent down with concern and asked.
"It's okay, maybe I was choked by the smoke just now, and it should be fine to come out and breathe in the air."
Ye Xiaoyu looked up at Ling Yu and said.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", the window on the wall of the study was blown open, and the billowing smoke kept coming out.
"Run!!"
Ye Xiaoyu was stunned by the scene in front of him, and when he didn't know what to do, his hand was pulled up by Ling Yu as he had just done, and the whole person leaned forward directly.
"The smoke is getting bigger and bigger, and it's too late if you don't run."
Ling Yu said anxiously while pulling Ye Xiaoyu to run forward desperately.
"But what about sunny? Is he still in there? ”
After being dragged out of the yard, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Qinglang's figure since just now, and suddenly had a bad premonition, now the smoke is billowing in the study, if Qinglang is still inside...... Ye Xiaoyu didn't dare to think about it, so he asked Ling Yu, hoping to get a negative answer from him.
"He just told me to pull you out first, and he broke it off."
Ling Yu may have realized something as well, and his voice became a little trembling.
"No, we can't leave him alone......"
Although he doesn't have a deep friendship with Qinglang, he has also helped him a lot in the recent process of getting along, and he took 10,000 steps back to say, even if he didn't help himself, but this is a living life after all, if Ye Xiaoyu watched a young life disappear in front of her eyes, she couldn't do it.
"It's too late, it has exploded just now, the power of this smoke is much greater than we imagined, if he is really still in the study, I'm afraid it has been ...... by now"
Ling Yu was very helpless, but when he saw Ye Xiaoyu's face, he didn't say anything more.
The smoke kept rising out, and after a while, the sky above Ling Yu's courtyard was already dark, and from a distance, it looked like a dark cloud.
Ye Xiaoyu was still hesitating there, and when Ling Yu saw her, he didn't care about the difference between men and women, he just took her hand and ran out. I don't know how long they ran, but the smoke behind them gradually faded, and in front of them was a huge forest.
