Chapter 42: Valuable
"Sand and water soul dew again?" Tai Lai said.
"Yes. Mu Qiang frowned and nodded
"This method was used decades ago, and today it is actually ...... again," Black Box thought.
"Just take another cup of anthurium tea," Mu Qiang said, while instructing his subordinates, "Make it yourself, you can't take the tea here!"
He looked at Black Box again, and at Taylor, and asked:
"How do you feel about your body?"
Black Box shook his head:
"I'm fine. ”
Taylor also shook his head:
"I'm fine. ”
The guy sent out by Mu Qiang came back after a while, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
After the guy let Gu Huai drink the freshly brewed tea, it was also magical, and Gu Huai immediately stopped a lot, and his expression was no longer so painful.
"Anthurium flower tea is a detoxification product in itself. So some people use it to poison, and they can also use it to detoxify. Tai Lai still looked at Gu Huai worriedly and said, "It's really a sin!"
Gu Huai couldn't speak at this time, but his eyes were consciously staring at the person next to him, breathing heavily, it should have been too painful just now, and he was a little short of air.
Just when the wind was late, he saw Gu Huai lying on the ground, he was a little surprised at first, Xu didn't expect that this young man had just suffered two losses in a row, and came for the third time, he was really guilty, so he was full of concern:
"Little brother, your poison has been cured, and it feels like it's okay, right?"
Gu Huai looked at the wind and nodded vigorously, his eyes were a little moist.
He could realize that Tai Lai and Wind Valley Chi really cared about him.
"Ask the guards to find out where the smoke came from, do you have an eyebrow?" asked Taylor.
It seems that he was also worried about the attack on Gu Huai last night, and then asked the master of the wind to investigate.
"Not yet," Feng Xiangchi shook his head, "just like the golden lotus, it's gone." ”
"That's strange," Tai Lai frowned, looked at Gu Huai again, and said, "Since it's not the Huang shopkeeper, who could it be?"
"There are probably a lot of people here. Feng Chi glanced into the hall.
Mu Qiang, an old businessman of his age, has become a refined, and of course he can see what Tailai and Feng Desire are talking about. He glanced at Feng Qichi, then at the others, smiled, and asked:
"Could this person who secretly used sand and water to disperse his soul reveal be the same person as the person you investigated for emitting poisonous smoke?"
"No, it won't. Feng Xiangchi shook his head, very sure, "The effect of the two is equal, one day it happens at the same time, and it is really unnecessary to use two poisons at the same time with such an expensive price." ”
Gu Huai was lying on the ground, hearing the conversation between several people, and sighed in his heart, it seems that there are really many people who want their own lives.
"But the wooden shopkeeper, are you sure that Gu Huai has been poisoned by the Soul Scattering Dew?" asked Feng Xiangchi rhetorically.
Mu Qiang was also cautious, squatted down and checked Gu Huai's pulse again, looked up at Feng Zhichi, nodded and said:
"You can't be wrong, and he was drinking tea when I came, and it didn't take long for him to be like this. The sand water series of water-based poisons can only be used in tea in this venue. ”
"But we will drink a little anthurium tea before we come, which will have the effect of detoxification in advance. Tai Lai asked, "Why is it only Gu Huai who has an accident?"
"Yes, why the hell is it only me who has an accident?" Gu Huai scolded in his heart.
"Yes, everyone has drunk it, after all, this place has also had an accident before because of this poison of sand and water to dissipate the soul dew. Mu Qiang said, "Considering that the reason has not been named so far, everyone will be prepared before coming." ”
Gu Huai listened to Mu Qiang's words, and thought to himself that this quicksand island has never been peaceful!
"It can be used to cure this poison when it is brewed, why is it that Little Brother Gu has no effect?
Gu Huai naturally drinks it, and since he first came to Shakuncheng, he likes to drink this tea.
Before he came, he drank some with Tai Lai, which was supposed to be a pick-me-up before going on a mission.
"It doesn't make sense," Taylor pondered, "I drank this tea with him before I got in the car, and I watched him drink it!"
Gu Huai looked at Tai Lai with his eyes, then at everyone, and nodded vigorously, proving that Tai was right.
"Then there is a possibility," said Heizai, "the anthurium tea that Gu Huai drank has no effect. ”
"No effect!?" Tai Lai and Feng Chi said in unison, and even Gu Huai on the ground widened his eyes and looked at the black boy.
"There are fakes. The wooden shopkeeper frowned on the side, word by word.
"Hey......" he sighed again, "There were already some hints of fakes in this Shakun City before, and I didn't expect to meet you." ”
"Someone's rebag!" Black Boy narrowed his eyes.
Mu Qiang was originally squatting on the ground, and when he heard that someone had adjusted the bag, Xu felt that he had heard too much about the internal affairs of the You family, and it was not good to stay too much, so he got up and arched his hand to everyone and said:
"Guys, I want to find out what this auction is like, so I'll go first. ”
Then he looked at Gu Huai on the ground and said:
"Little brother, I'll help you make that object when I go back, and then I'll inform you with Sha Ming, and I'll pick it up then." ”
The wooden shopkeeper told Yu Guhuai the address and left.
Gu Huai nodded, he wanted to show his thanks on the ground, but it was really inconvenient, and he thought it would look weird, so he gave up.
He took care of the guards and sent the little brother back to his residence. "I'll leave the rest of the matter to us." ”
Feng Xiang hesitated for a moment, and said:
"It's a mixed bag, are you sure it's feasible?"
"Hmph, in the past hundred years, this quicksand archie has only been the safest here and now. The corners of the black boy's mouth twitched, and he smiled.
He's right, sometimes the most dangerous places are sometimes the safest. Although they are all masters on the scene, they are all holding each other back.
Whoever strikes first will be the target of the public.
That's why the quicksand is peaceful on the surface, and everyone doesn't want to be an unnecessary focus.
Gu Huai returned to his hut, and Feng Zhichi was guarding outside.
After a period of time, Gu Huai's body recovered fairly well except for some weakness.
He lay on the bed, pondering the matter of the soul-scattering dew.
He just heard Mu Qiang say that there had been a collective poisoning in the heart of quicksand before.
Judging from the on-site environment, there are not only many businessmen in the heart of quicksand, but also guard masters, if anyone really makes any moves, they will definitely be caught.
But why is it still a mystery?
Could it be ...... This tea has been manipulated from the source?
But where is the source of this? The pantry? The raw material, is the anthurium flower?
Thinking about it, it was already dark. Gu Huai found the light in the room, and looked down to see that his burlap bag was glowing.
In fact, it was shining from day to night, as if it was accompanied by Gu Huai's crisis and illness, but Gu Huai only saw it.
He picked up the bag, put it in his hand and looked inside and out, and found that nothing seemed to have changed except for a faint fluorescence.
took out the letter again, and it was still the same sentence as before, up to the four words "Shang Sheng's Secret Method".
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Gu Huai's heart:
"Could it be that it keeps reminding itself that there will be danger!?"
He couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Because when he thought of this, he seemed to see his father, and he was in front of him and took care of him.
Thinking of Shakun City again, and then the Quicksand Islands, he actually burst into tears after the few times he experienced the edge of life and death.
"Letter from the owner. At this time, Feng Xiangchi walked in and interrupted Gu Huai's tears.
"Ah, I'm really sorry, I don't know ...... little brother" Feng Wanting Chi arched his hand, holding a sand songbird in his hand.
Gu Huai wiped the tears on his face, looked at the things in Feng Qichi's hand, and said:
"Don't get in the way, big brother guard. ”
While taking the sand songbird, Zhan Xin, a line of words:
"In order to get the silver seal, you must obtain Moyangfang. ”
This sentence of "must be obtained" suddenly made Gu Huai feel a heavy responsibility, but he was also high-spirited.
It's one thing to listen to a colleague's opinion, but it's another feeling to listen to the boss.
"What person!?" in his thoughts, Feng Chi suddenly let out a low roar and rushed out of the house at the same time.
Then a few swords were heard, and a few more bright lights came from the cracks in the wooden door.
"Where are you going!?" the wind whispered again, and then it became very quiet outside.
Wind is too late to fight with people, and change places!?
Could it be to turn the tiger away from the mountain!?
Gu Huai himself unconsciously held his breath and deliberately listened to the movement outside.
Suddenly, the door opened with a "squeak" and someone came in.
It's not that the wind is late, it's the yellow shopkeeper!
Sure enough, it's a tiger away from the mountain!
Although Gu Huai was able to speak at this time, his body was weak and he couldn't make some big movements, so he couldn't escape.
Therefore, if this surnamed Huang does anything to himself, he will definitely die.
The shopkeeper Huang's face was cold, and he smiled:
"I didn't expect you to escape my little cat, and then escape my little lotus, it's a big life!"
"What!?" Gu Huai was shocked. "The ghost-eyed civet cat was also sent by you!?"
"Well, the dying man is not afraid to tell you. The tone of the shopkeeper Huang was very conceited, and he said, "Let a few cats go out, not only can you find out your You family's business Tao, but also solve you by the way." ”
"The surname is Huang," Gu Huai said weakly, lying on the bed, "why do I insist on taking my life as a helper?"
"Because you're valuable!" Shopkeeper Huang's eyes lit up, looking at Gu Huai on the bed, like a wolf seeing a sheep.
"Valuable!?" Gu Huai's eyes widened.
There was no reason for this, and this reason made him unbelievable.
He wanted to wait for the wind to come back late, so he simply delayed the time and asked:
"I remember that I was only worth fifty taels of silver," Gu Huai asked, "and this will also make you a killer?"
"Hmph," Shopkeeper Huang sneered, "In the eyes of some people, you are fifty taels, but in the eyes of others, you are ...... Hahaha"
It seems that the price is really expensive, and before the price is finished, Boss Huang actually laughed, took out a dagger while laughing, and slowly walked towards Gu Huai.
The dagger shook in laughter, constantly reflecting the candlelight, and it was very piercing.
Looking at the dagger, Gu Huai felt that he should shout, so he began to shout for help, but it was also instinctive.
"Useless little brother," said the shopkeeper Huang, looking at the application that looked like he could make a lot of money immediately, "I sent people to set up a mana field outside, and people and voices can't get out, so we can only come in with people from the Huang family." Hahaha!"
"You...... Aren't you afraid of someone coming from the government!?" Gu Huai always felt that he shouldn't die like this, so he resorted to delaying the army again.
There's really no way, he's really not sure if the wind will be able to come in now, and he's not sure if he'll be able to come in after he arrives.
"Hmph, it's not easy to start in Shakun City," the Huang shopkeeper disdainned, "Here, it's normal for you to live or die." ”
This answer is not surprising, because Gu Huai had heard about it when he came here before, and the Fuchenglou also turned a blind eye to the jurisdiction of this boundary.
"Shopkeeper, the mana field won't last long, and their guards should be there soon, you need to hurry up. ”
