Because of his scruples about the identities of Ye Linchen and the others, the village chief placed them in his old house after thinking about it for a while. Although I haven't lived in it for many years, I have accumulated a lot of dust, but I can still live in it. Xia Fu held torches and several people cautiously and slowly followed behind the village chief, and the two who had always been alert listened to Xia Fu and the village chief's chatter while looking around, paying attention to what was wrong.

The old residence of the village chief's family is located in the northernmost corner of Nanhe Village, with the backdrop of the outer slope of the world. After the group arrived at the door, the village chief coughed a few times, took the key to open the door, and pushed the door violently, and a large amount of dust came to the face. Xie Yaoguang frowned, subconsciously covered his nose and took a few steps back, and the village chief who turned around hurriedly apologized in a low voice when he saw her like this.

Glancing at the house full of dust and cobwebs, Ye Linchen frowned and said softly: "There is Village Chief Lao to send him all the way, it's getting late, you can go back." ”

"Those guests have a good rest, there are candles and some candlesticks." Saying that, the village chief handed over the bamboo basket in his hand, and he smiled kindly on the ground, "If you are not used to living in a place, please speak." Of course, it's okay for you to leave. This place is not familiar with the place where you nobles should come. ”

"You're welcome." Xie Yaoguang took the bamboo basket from the village chief's hand, glanced at it, and a smile appeared on the back, and his tone was extremely soft.

Seeing the village chief trembling and leaving with his cane, Xie Yaoguang's gaze fell on the basket in his hand again. Squatting on the ground with his knees folded, he lifted the candle and the candlestick inside, put the two together, and then found the flint inside and lit it. The orange flames flew straight up, carrying a strange fragrance with them. With a slight snort, Xie Yaoguang frowned and stared at the burning candle in front of him, thought about it for a while, and took the candlestick and put it at the door.

The candle has just been put down. Suddenly there was a sound of rustling in the grass around them, and several people looked for a voice, and many poisonous insects crawled out of the grass, the corners of the walls, and the cracks between the eaves, and those poisonous insects all crawled to their location like a tide, and the sound of moving limbs and flapping wings came into their ears, which made people tremble all over their bodies.

Looking at the poisonous insects that were only a few steps away from him, Xie Yaoguang laughed, took out the sachet from his sleeve, and sprinkled all the powder on the ground.

And the moment those poisonous insects touched the powder, they all shrank back and did not dare to step forward. Some bold poisonous insects tried to cross the line made of medicinal powder in front of them, and when their forelimbs touched it, they hissed and stiffly shrunk their limbs and lay on the ground on their backs, and other poisonous insects dared to step forward when they saw this. They can only rub their limbs in place or make a piercing sound of flapping their wings.

"Miss Xie, what the hell is going on?" Xia Fumu asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang frowned and glanced at the poisonous insects that were especially trying, and sighed with disgust in his eyes, "If I guess correctly, these candles were originally used in the village to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it is natural to put them outside the house." But if we put it in the house, the poisonous insects in the house will run to a safe place as soon as they are smoked, and then I am afraid that we will all die in the belly of the worms. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Xie Yaoguang turned his head and walked towards Ye Linchen. She hated being around so many bugs, and if nothing else, the sound of her wings was already making her shudder. After hearing her say this, Xia Fu looked into the room with trepidation. It was still thanks to Xie Yaoguang's wisdom that something was wrong, otherwise if they lived in this house and lit this candle, he really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

"What are you going to do with these poisonous insects?" Pulled Xie Yaoguang to his side, and by the way, he looked around to see if there were any poisonous insects that had escaped by chance, and his face was solemn, "I think it's better to burn them, it's not safe to stay here." ”678

Xie Yaoguang didn't have much opinion on Ye Linchen's words, nodded and handed over the flint in his hand. After taking the flint and working with Xia Fu, he found some hay and cloth, wrapped it around the stone, lit a corner, and threw it all into the pile of insects, and after a while, there was an unpleasant smell of burning.

"Although this matter is strange, I don't think it should be the village chief here, if we die here, there is no benefit to them." Probing his head at the poisonous insects that had turned into charcoal, Xia Fu frowned and asked.

"Of course it's not the village chief, he doesn't have the guts. You and Your Highness are here, and if you die here, the court will definitely send someone to investigate. At this point, Xie Yaoguang knelt on the ground, looked up at the moon, and snorted coldly, "I guess that nine times out of ten, this matter is that the people under King Shou want to use the hand of the village chief to get rid of us." ”

Hearing this, Ye Linchen took off his robe and sat beside her, and his words were sarcastic, "Shouwang, can't he wait so soon?" You want to kill me before it's over?"

"Actually, no matter how different Your Highness is, when I enter Nanhe Village together, the result is probably the same. The plague spreads, and Your Majesty will not let you go, if you stop the plague in time, but you will also die from insect eaters. According to what I know about King Shou, he never thought of letting Your Highness return to the capital alive. ”

It was rare to hear Xie Yaoguang speak so bluntly, Xia Fu's eyes were surprised, and he couldn't help but look at her and turned his crossbow gaze to Ye Linchen, seeing that Ye Linchen also looked disapprehant, looking sideways at the people on the side, there was a gentle smile in his eyebrows and eyes that couldn't be concealed.

"When did you become so small? I've been thinking about it since the day, and I'm getting better...... Do you have to do this to me? With a bend of his phoenix eyes, Ye Linchen raised his lips and chuckled, and his tone was teasing.

Maybe he was thinking about other things, Xie Yaoguang didn't answer immediately, but frowned and rubbed the front strap of his shirt. Although the use of Xue Lu to investigate the matter caused King Shou and Wu Gootai to form a bond, she could not guarantee that the two parties would have a chance to join forces. She still didn't think through Qi Wuyin's mind in the end.

As she stared at the blackened spot, she suddenly heard a soft cough in her ears. Moving his eyes to find the prestige, he saw Ye Linchen put his fist against his lips and coughed lightly.

"Your Highness really doesn't take your body seriously. This disease is cured, so I run around. Raising his eyebrows and glancing at him dissatisfied, Xie Yaoguang reached out and touched Ye Linchen's forehead, frowned and blamed, "Have you taken medicine today?" My division has not yet put the ancestral training of patients running all over the ground. ”

The boneless hand was on his forehead, and the worry in front of him crashed into his eyes. Ye Linchen couldn't help but think of when he did that, it was these hands that soothed his desire and made him eat the marrow and know the taste.

Thinking about reaching out and holding those hands, his eyes were full of tenderness. The index finger rubbed against the emerald jade bracelet on the wrist.
