Chapter 151: Demon Eradication (Part II)
Li You listened to the tone of the eldest lady, with a little complaint in fear, to put it bluntly, it was still Master Hu who had the final say in this family, and he couldn't help but snicker.
"Little master?"
"Eh, I said Uncle Zhong, can you stop scaring me?" Li You was called by the old butler who suddenly made a sound behind him, and his soul was almost scattered.
Hu Zhong compensated Li You again with a guilty face, and continued: "I didn't mean to scare you, but when you heard the sound of the wall, it seems that something is wrong." ”
"I ...... I'm the next door, okay. ”
Now that the stolen goods have been obtained, Li You can't quibble too much, so he hurriedly diverted the topic, saying that he came out to find water for his uncle to drink, and he didn't deliberately eavesdrop.
"Oh, in that case, then come with me."
When walking behind him, Li You felt awkward in his heart, took the waterway and thanked him, and quickly fled back to the backyard.
"Eh, why is this Hu Zhong silent?"
After handing the water to his uncle, he continued to sit at the stone table, waiting for his next step. But for some reason, Uncle Shi, who drank the water, was silent for a long time.
His eyes were also staring straight at the ground, and Li You didn't know if he was looking at something or if he was stunned.
"Uncle Shi? Teacher? He tried to scream twice, but Uncle Shi was still unmoved.
Li You was puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward and gently tugged at his uncle's robe with his hand.
It's okay if he doesn't drag, but after he finished dragging, his whole body fell forward. Li You subconsciously wrapped his arm around Uncle Shi's chest and slowly lowered him to the ground.
"Uncle Shi, are you awake? Teacher! ”
After probing his snort, he found that he only had incoming breath and no out, so he quickly touched his uncle's vein.
He didn't know how to pulse, but he felt that the beating of his uncle's wrist was very slow and weak.
"When I came back just now, he still drank water, how could he be good, and suddenly he ......"
He said something to himself, suddenly realizing the crux of the matter, and moved his gaze to the teapot.
"Could it be that Uncle Zhong poisoned him?" The more Li You thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he quickly ran towards Master Hu's room.
"Bang Bang!"
The heavy knock on the door not only woke up the old man, but also woke up the maids living in the surrounding rooms.
Master Hu put on a small coat, pushed the door out, and saw Li You looking flustered, sweating profusely, with a little horror in his eyes, and hurriedly asked him what happened.
"I ...... My uncle ......".
Li You was in such a hurry just now that he couldn't say a whole sentence nervously for a while.
"Little master, lead the way!"
No matter what Master Hu said, he is also a person who has seen the world, he has walked through the south and the north, and he has pressed his legs on the train track, and he has never seen anything.
And when he saw Li You's face, he knew that something big must have happened, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he directly called Xiao Maozhanglan, and called the cook and other envoys, and came to the backyard together.
Among these people, there are also some who came to see the excitement, and when they saw Liu Jiji lying on the ground and dying, they all began to talk.
"Xiao Mao, didn't I tell you to learn some medical skills from Li Lang? Come over and show Liu Banxian'er! ”
Hearing the master's command, Xiao Mao naturally didn't dare to slack off, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and grabbed Liu Jiji's wrist.
Then he raised his eyelids and looked at the sky decently, and after a moment's wait, he let go of his hand, and then looked at the old man with a heavy heart, and said nothing.
"How is it, what's wrong with Liu Banxian'er?"
Xiao Mao shook his head and said, "This person's connections are weak and the rhythm is irregular. Sometimes soothing, sometimes vigorous, I guess it's poisoned. ”
"Eh, this person's life is at stake, can you get it right?"
"Master, I've only learned a little bit of skin, or I'd have invited Li Langzhong to come."
The three of them gathered around Liu Jiji to discuss his condition, but the group of people behind him seemed to be watching monkeys, pointing at Liu Banxian lying on the ground and saying cool things.
"Hey, have you heard, this Liu Banxian'er is not a serious person."
"I've heard it too, it seems that I often come in and out of that drunken flower building......"
"What, I don't hear what you say, it seems that you hooked up with that widow in the town."
"Yes, yes, yes, what I heard is also Widow Sun, to be honest, Widow Sun looks really good, hooked and lost, that little belly is round ......"
These words didn't fall at all, and they were all heard by Li You, but Master Hu was not angry here, so he had to squint at the few people behind him.
Master Hu saw that the situation was urgent, so he ordered Xiao Mao to go to the horse house to ride a horse and take Lang Zhong home. After he left, he set his eyes on Li You.
"Little master, what did he eat before?"
Li You didn't think about it, opened his mouth and said: "It shouldn't be poisoned in food, otherwise I will be poisoned, and I will eat it first." ”
When they heard them discussing whether there was poison in the food, a fat man with big shoulders and a round waist separated the crowd and said to Master Hu in a panic:
"Master, I'm innocent, I handle all this food!"
Hearing what he meant, Li You also guessed that he should be a cook.
"Okay, okay, before the matter is settled, no one can get out of it, including me!" After finishing speaking, he looked at a few little maids over there and said, "And you, if you have nothing to do, hurry up and rest, don't talk about your wife's tongue there." ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands, turned around and walked out.
In the back yard, now only Master Hu, Li You and the housekeeper Hu Zhong are left.
When Xiao Mao gave Uncle Shi the pulse, he had been secretly observing Hu Zhong's reaction.
But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see him leaking out of the horse's feet, and from that dry face, he seemed to be a little worried.
Li Youxin said, if it wasn't for his poisoning, then who else would have this ability?
After thinking about the people I saw after coming here, Da Mao, Xiao Mao, Hu Zhong, the master, and there was no one else.
The cook came out first and handed over the truth, it shouldn't be that he did it, no one mentioned him, and there was no need to arouse suspicion.
Da Mao, it's possible, but for what reason he did this, Li You couldn't figure it out.
And his younger brother Xiao Mao is unlikely to be the one who poisoned him, after all, Uncle Shi had already said just now that Xiao Mao was the one who got him and his master back.
Madam? It's not right, or even if she did, she wouldn't be stupid enough to do it herself.
Li You finally locked the suspect on Hu Zhong's body. If you think about it, if it wasn't his intention, then someone must have instructed him.
But this matter can't be told to Master Hu for the time being. After all, Li You and his uncle are both outsiders, and no matter how kind Master Hu is, it is impossible for him to turn his elbow outward.
Thinking of this, Li You squinted at Hu Zhong who was guarding the door, and said secretly: "Hmph, I really don't believe it, sooner or later you will have to leak out." ”
Another gust of breeze blew, taking away all the sweat beads on Li You's forehead.
After such a toss, Li You was also completely sleepy, looked up at the starry sky, and found that at this time he was already guarding the clouds and seeing the moon, and suddenly thought of the story that Uncle Shi had not finished telling, turned his head and said to Master Hu:
"Master, do you remember when your uncle and master helped you get rid of demons?"
