Chapter 025: There Are People in the Bamboo Forest
That force made Shen Shu's elbow miss the barrel of the gun by an inch.
"Third brother! Are you crazy! You're going to murder your sister! Shen Shu shouted in a hurry.
Until this moment, Shen Jinming finally saw Shen Shu's face clearly-
His hand shook and he hurriedly retreated to the side.
The sharp spear head slid dangerously past Shen Shu's cheek!
"Bang-" The red tassel gun fell to the ground.
"Fourth, fourth sister?" Shen Jinming's eyes widened in disbelief.
Shen Shu patted her heart with palpitations, and said angrily: "Four, you are big!" I'm scared to death, I'm almost your 'dead' sister! β
Shen Jinming frowned and looked her up and down, and when he saw the tightly wrapped black cloak on her body, and her ghost-like pale face with strands of black hair, an evil fire rushed straight to her heart.
He angrily pointed at Shen Shu's face: "Dead girl! In the middle of the night, you came to my yard like this, did you want to scare me to death, or did you want to die! β
As he spoke, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Shen Shu, and his voice carried a little cold sourness: "Little Four, I haven't seen you for three days, and you have made considerable progress in this kung fu, and you can even dodge my shot." Why, the Medicine Buddha has detained you in a dream to practice martial arts again? Did you deliberately come to me to show off your newfound kung fu? β
"Therefore...... Meaning? β
When Shen Shu heard this, a fire broke out in her heart, thinking of the battle just now, she was angry and felt aggrieved.
She didn't care about looking around anymore, a pair of apricot eyes glared at Shen Jinming fiercely, and accused with a crying voice: "We were grounded by our parents for some reason, I kindly and secretly came to you to discuss countermeasures, you are good, you will kill me directly when you see me!" Am I not your sister? You don't know my kung fu yet? Medicine Buddha only asked me to test medicine in my dream, and I don't even know what this reaction is. Just now, if it weren't for that wind, I would have been ruined by you today! β
"Wind? What wind? Shen Jinming was confused: "You dodged me with a move, and then dismantled me, what does it have to do with following the trend?" β
At the mention of the wind, Shen Shu's tears choked.
She remembered the thrilling moment just now, and the spirit spirit shuddered, and her instinct looked around.
That "willow leaf wind" is really weird-
If it hadn't hit her elbow, even if the third brother had withdrawn his hand at the last moment, her face would have been broken nine times out of ten tonight.
However, Shen Shu was as far as the eye could see-
In the bamboo forest under the moonlight, the bamboo shadows are swaying, and the shadows and shadows can't see anything clearly.
She always felt that in the thick night, there seemed to be an unclear gaze falling on her.
Yet, she looked at it intuitively, but she couldn't see anything.
Only the broken bamboo leaves sprinkled on the ground seemed to remind her that at that moment just now, the strange "willow leaf wind" was not a dream.
Really...... It's very evil.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Jinming asked angrily.
Shen Shu couldn't care about being angry with him anymore, and asked in a very low voice: "Third and third brother, do you feel that you are in the bamboo forest...... Someone seems to be hiding? β
"People?"
Shen Jinming frowned, he didn't even bother to look around, and he was almost laughed at angrily: "You think our Shen Mansion is a big sieve, so anyone can come and go freely?" In the past few days, inside and outside the house, Daddyga has sent a lot of people, especially outside my Mingyue Zhai, there are at least three groups of people patrolling the night! In this bamboo forest, there can only be ghosts, and there can never be people! β
Shen Shu pointed at herself: "I'm not human?" β
Shen Jinming glanced at Shen Shu's wet forehead hair on his face, and then looked in the direction she came from-
Deng Shi understood that she had come from the corner gate of the lake in the inner courtyard.
He said unceremoniously: "The wall of the inner courtyard is connected to the lake, which is a dead end, and no one is on duty. If you go to the other side, you won't be shot into a sieve by the archers arranged by Daddy on the spot! β
Hearing the third brother say this, Shen Shu's back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
It seems that it is not a wise move for her to sneak into the front yard tonight.
"How do I know how our house is suddenly so heavily guarded." Shen Shu muttered unconvinced.
Shen Jinming knew a little more than her, so he glared at her fiercely and didn't answer.
Shen Shu looked around again, but still couldn't see anything famous.
She shook her head and decided to let go of the idea of "there are people in the bamboo forest", and said: "That's it, I came here tonight because I have something serious to tell you, you first put the blessing away, and I will go into the house and talk to you in detail." β
Shen Jinming saw her look, his face was solemn, and he pointed to the shadow under the corridor and motioned her over.
After Shen Shu hid it, Shen Jinming went to wake up Fuxi, found an excuse, sent Fuxi to the front yard to boil water, and invited Shen Shu into the house.
As soon as the two siblings entered the room, two black shadows flew out from the depths of the bamboo forest and landed on the roof quietly......
*
In the house, Shen Shu just stepped on the floor paved with bamboo in Mingyuezhai-
"Poofβ"
The wet soles of his shoes and the water stains of his night clothes in the big coat made a puddle of watermarks on the floor.
Shen Jinming's gaze fell on the puddle of water stains.
He:......
Shen Shu looked at her brother's face that turned green in an instant: ......
She knew that Shen Jinming had always had a heavy habit of cleanliness, and he asked Fuxi to clean the bamboo floor in this house at least three times a day.
If she used this outfit today, she walked around Shen Jinming's room.
If you don't keep it, you will have to die of exhaustion tomorrow.
Thinking so, Shen Shu took a few steps back and retreated straight to the bottom of the corridor.
Shen Jinming rubbed his eyebrows: "It's cold outside, you still go ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Shu: "It's inconvenient for me to be here in the middle of the night, to make a long story short, I have to go back quickly, so as not to be discovered by Green Peach." β
Seeing her say this, Shen Jinming was no longer reluctant.
He walked to the table, poured Shen Shu a cup of hot water, and handed it to her.
Shen Shu held a glass of water to warm her hands, and told Shen Jinming truthfully how to find poison in the kitchen of Jingsi Garden that day, how to find the mechanism at the bottom of the medicine pot, how to figure it out, and how the person behind it poisoned Shen Jinming.
At the end, she said: "Now that three days have passed, my grandmother has arrested people, but she has not dealt with them, presumably she has not found out who is in collusion with the poisoner in the house."
This medicine pot is specially made, and it is not common, because it involves my knowledge of poison, and it is inconvenient for people to pass the word on my behalf, so I can only tell the third brother at night today.
Daddy and Auntie grounded us this time, which is really weird, and I also ask the third brother to tell Daddy about the medicine pot, find out the behind-the-scenes instructions as soon as possible, and relieve our grounding. β
Shen Jinming replied solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll go and tell Daddy about this matter when it's dawn." β
With the third brother's assurance, Shen Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She lowered her head and took a sip of hot waterβ
Before the hot water entered his throat, a faint smell that was almost incomparable, very similar to bamboo leaves, touched Shen Shu's taste buds!
"Poofβ"
Shen Shu hurriedly spit the water onto the ground!
Shen Jinming: ......
He didn't have time to speakβ
I saw my little sister rushing to the table with an arrow step, lifting the lid of the kettle, and putting her hand directly into the kettle!
