Chapter Seventy-One: Mass Vomiting
Lan Yue stared at Nangong in a daze, in fact, he didn't have a clue at all, when he arrived at this place, he always had a feeling of nausea and wanted to vomit.
The smell of blood that Nangong said just now, in fact, he didn't smell it, but it seemed to have a faint fragrance, this fragrance Lan Yue hadn't smelled, and he didn't like it, I don't know why, as soon as he inhaled, he wanted to vomit.
was worried that Nangong would laugh at him and be hypocritically afraid, so he kept trying to suppress it and not let himself spit out.
Nangong finished inspecting the trunk of the tree, and then looked at the soil under the tree again, this time, he did not reach out to pinch it, but found a relatively tough leaf, used the leaf to gently scoop up a little soil from under the tree, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
As before, there was a faint scent other than the smell of blood.
He carefully walked up to Lan Yue with the leaves and put the dirt in front of his nose, "Your Highness, you smell it, is there any special smell?" ”
Then he added, "Except for the smell of blood..."
"Vomit~~~Vomit~~~~"
Before Nangong finished speaking, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
Because Lan Yue covered her mouth and quickly ran away, squatting aside and vomiting, the puddles of filth were all food and water that had been eaten into her stomach not long ago.
"Your Highness? What's wrong with you, Your Highness? ”
Seeing this, Nangong hurriedly threw the leaves in his hand, trotted to Lan Yue's side in a few steps and patted his back for him, laughing secretly in his heart, this guy was so smoked by the smell of blood that he could vomit? It's really hypocritical that I've never seen a scene!
"I... I... It's so uncomfortable, vomit~~~vomit~~~"
Lan Yue propped her hands on her knees, her face turned blue, and she vomited so much that her bile was about to come out.
"So serious? Do you want to drink saliva? ”
Nangong brought a kettle from not far away, walked over to Lan Yue's side and asked with concern.
It's normal for someone who hasn't seen a bloody scene to smell this smell, even himself, didn't he almost vomit just now? Fortunately, I can barely control it.
"No... Don't, vomit ~~"
Lan Yue's face turned blue, he didn't care about his appearance and demeanor anymore, after the contents of his stomach were vomited, he quickly raised his arm and wiped his mouth with the sleeve made of fine brocade, his elegant demeanor in the palace had long been forgotten, and now he just wanted his stomach to calm down.
Nangong was also a little helpless on the side, standing silently aside with a kettle, waiting for Lan Yue to slowly recover herself.
After a long while, Lan Yue sat down on the dusty mud floor with a weak body, and he didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, he really didn't have the strength to squat anymore.
"Here, let's drink saliva and rinse your mouth."
Nangong duly handed over the kettle that had been prepared in his hand and said softly.
Lan Yue didn't speak, took it with a white face, opened the stopper, raised her head and took a big sip, then took it in her mouth and rinsed it briefly and spit it out, and then "rumbled" and swallowed it a few times, and exhaled a long breath,
"It's finally a little better."
"Your Highness,"
Nangong squatted down beside Lan Yue and looked at him expectantly, his clear eyes shining, "Did you smell anything just now?" ”
"The taste? Fragrance? ”
Lan Yue frowned, remembering the taste just now, his stomach, which had just calmed down a little, was about to start turning over the river and the sea again, and he quickly took another sip of the water in the pot to suppress the taste.
"What kind of scent is that, and why do I want to vomit when I smell it? It's obviously very fragrant ......."
Blue Moon didn't understand why, it was the first time in his life that he had smelled such a disgusting scent, he had never even heard of it before.
"You smell the fragrance too? Isn't it a faint one..."
Nangong's eyes flashed with surprise.
"No, the smell is still relatively strong when you get closer."
Blue Moon corrected solemnly.
Nangong nodded and acquiesced, Lan Yue had never been exposed to these, and it was normal for her sense of smell to be more sensitive.
Blue Moon's sense of smell proved his own judgment, these corpses were probably really turned into corpse water by "Incense Drift", coupled with the heavy rain that day, the corpse water mixed with mud and rain, and after many days of drying, it was completely mixed with the soil.
It's just that there is one more thing that Nangong can't understand.
That is, Blue Moon and Tian Qi actually escaped the fate of being turned into corpse water.
According to Lan Yue, when he woke up, there were corpses everywhere, and there was no food and no living people, except for Tian Qi, who was seriously injured and unconscious, of course.
In other words, at that time, the corpses were still there, and the robbers returned to destroy the corpses after settling the food afterwards?
It doesn't make sense, since there are such bold robbers, there is no need to destroy the corpses, it's just a superfluous move.
Also, if you want to destroy the body, why don't you destroy it at the right time, and then come back to destroy the body after you have run away?
Could it be .....
Nangong had a bold idea in his mind, could it be that the robbers did it on purpose? Deliberately let go of Blue Moon and Tian Qi?
So, why do you do this?
It is unlikely that all the food will be transported in a short time, unless the robbers are quite numerous and well prepared, that is, they have enough vehicles and men.
Premeditated?
Nangong shook his head, many mysteries appeared in his mind, there were no answers at all, and he was a little confused.
Nangong, who couldn't figure it out, decided not to think about it for now, anyway, the most important thing for him was to protect the blue moon.
Other...... It doesn't matter to him.
"Your Highness, Lord Nangong."
The ten people sent out by Nangong just now came back one after another, and they came to report in front of the two of them.
"How's it going, have you found anything?"
Blue Moon took a step forward and asked anxiously.
"Your Highness, there is a path to the east where the axle print has been found, but it is not very obvious, and there is a river about fifty meters wide all the way forward."
A Praetorian Guard named Zenko who came back from the east reported.
"Your Highness, there is no road to the west, and there are dense forests for several miles, but it seems that there are traces of people passing by."
Another forbidden soldier also replied.
"Your Highness, Lord Nangong, there is a cliff to the south, and there is no bottom under the cliff."
"To the north is the official road, and there is nothing special to find on the official road, but the soil on the official road seems to be different from the color of the soil here." Love Book House
A short, stocky but shrewd-eyed forbidden soldier said.
"What about the taste?" Nangong asked.
"Uh~~~"
The ten forbidden soldiers all looked at Nangong inexplicably, and then you look at me, I look at you, and they don't understand what Nangong means.
"Do you smell anything?"
Blue Moon reminded them.
The forbidden soldiers glanced around, and the surrounding soil had a yellowish tinge in some places, needless to say, it must have been caused by blood seeping into the soil. There are no wild flowers except trees and weeds around, where does the fragrance come from?
They sniffed hard, and two of them even crouched down and sniffed the ground.
The smell of blood.
"It smells of blood."
"yes, the smell of blood."
Several people said in unison.
"Don't you smell the scent?"
"Scent? Nope! ”
Several forbidden soldiers were stunned and sniffed again, "Where did the fragrance come from?" There is a faint smell of blood. ”
One of the Janissaries stood up and said.
"My subordinates didn't smell it either."
"Neither did the subordinates."
"There's no fragrance."
Hearing the words of the forbidden army, Nangong's gaze swept over the faces of several of them, and they looked at them without fear, Nangong was a little skeptical of his judgment just now.
Could it be that he was wrong?
He picked up a little dirt from the leaves again, put it under his nose and sniffed it, as if it were ...... Not really.
Nangong brought the dirt on the leaves to Lan Yue again, and Lan Yue knew what he wanted to do when she saw him walking towards her, so she quickly took the lead and ran away covering her nose.
He didn't want to try again.
Nangong didn't give up, maybe the dirt he just shoveled didn't have corpse water.
So, he went under the tree where he had shoveled the dirt, shoveled a little mud again, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"Vomit~~~~"
This time, he couldn't help it, so he quickly threw the leaves and ran under another tree to hold on to the trunk and vomit.
"Vomit~~~"
Nangong finally couldn't help but vomit.
The back of his hand holding the trunk of the tree was bruised, and the other hand was beating his chest vigorously, sister, it's so uncomfortable!
"Lord Nangong!"
"Lord Nangong! What happened to you? ”
The forbidden army exclaimed together.
"I guess I'm disgusted."
Lan Yue stood aside leisurely and said lightly. When he vomited just now, I couldn't tell how Nangong laughed at him, now it's okay, feng shui finally takes turns, and finally arrives at your house, so that you can also taste the taste of turning over the river and the sea!
Lan Yue hugged her arms and laughed evilly in her heart.
"Disgusting?"
A forbidden soldier didn't know why, he picked up the leaves that Nangong threw away just now, put them under his nose and smelled them, and suddenly,
"Vomit~~~"
He also hurriedly threw away the leaves as if he had encountered a hot potato, ran to Nangong's side, and began to retch, holding the trunk on the other side.
Leaves on the ground: Who did I provoke?
Aching stomach: You smell so stinky! Disgusting!
The rest of the people, looking at the leaves on the ground, and then at the two people who were holding on to the trunk of the tree and vomiting, did not know why.
However, no one dared to pick up the leaves again, and even one of the forbidden soldiers who stood close to the leaf jumped away as if they were hiding from the plague.
After Nangong and another vomiting forbidden army came to their senses, everyone discussed and walked towards the east together. Because everyone agrees that it is unlikely that the robbers will take the official road, after all, they have just killed someone, they must be covered in blood, and they are still carrying a large team of men and food, isn't it self-defeating to take the official road?
There is a river to the east, and you may be able to find traces of it along the river.
A group of forbidden troops, with a total of twelve people from Nangong and Lanyue, walked through the forest to the east, and walked along a fairly flat path for about five or six miles, when a river appeared in front of them.
The river is relatively fast, and on the other side of the river are continuous cliffs, and a few ape cries can be heard in the distance, needless to say, the opposite side is estimated to be uninhabited.
They walked a few hundred meters along the river, and found a few bits of dried blood on the dry weeds along the river, but they were all pale in color.
Nangong thought, if it was really left by the robbers that day, then this faint bloodstain might be caused by the heavy rain that day.
"Your Highness, do you think the robbers will take the waterway after robbing the grain?"
Nangong and everyone were pulling the half-human-high weeds under their feet, and asked the blue moon beside him.
Lan Yue carried the hem of her clothes and walked among the crowd, although she walked carefully, but she also checked her feet to see if there were any suspicious findings.
"I don't know. If you go by water, you will also have a large team, unless there is a large enough ship. ”
Blue Moon replied as she walked.
"What kind of river is this river? Where does it lead? ”
Nangong asked again.
"I ...... I don't know. ”
Lan Yue was a little ashamed, he was just a transparent existence during the whole process of escorting the grain last time.
