Chapter 32: Omission

In the deep courtyard of Mufu, the breeze blows, bringing up leaves from all over the ground. In the study, Li Hong threw the pen in his hand, looked at the crooked handwriting on the paper and frowned.

He got up and picked up a broom from the courtyard wall to sweep up the fallen leaves. Xue Tong, who was obediently chewing snacks in the hall, was shocked to spray a table of scraps when he saw him doing the chores himself.

Lihong swept the floor and went to cook again. That skillful appearance once again choked Xue Tong, who was following behind, into a fool.

He was afraid that Lihong would secretly poison his food, so he stared at his every move intently, but he didn't expect him to just cook and cook. Before the food was served on the plate, it was already full of gluttonous mouths.

Even if it was poisonous, he admitted it. Xue Tong held the bowl and devoured it, in terms of cooking skills, he was really convinced.

As soon as I finished lunch, I heard hurried footsteps outside.

Sui Han strode into the hall, with a person still in the crook of his arm, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked around and said, "Where is Lihongren?" ”

"Washing the dishes." Xue Tong was already numb, and he hiccuped while holding his cheeks.

When Sui Han heard this, he came to the piano case, brushed all the incense burner and porcelain bottles on the case to the ground, and put the thin girl on the table.

There was a "bang", and the porcelain bottle shattered.

"That expensive ......," Xue Tong muttered.

"It's important to save people." Sui Han didn't go to see him, rummaging around for medicine.

"Bang!" "Bang dang!" "Bang la la......" I don't know how many precious cultural toys have been damaged.

Only then did Xue Tong understand that his narrow-minded senior brother was deliberate.

Lihong walked in and kicked the debris all over the ground, looking undistressed, but when he saw the girl on the incense case, he was stunned and said, "Only bring her back?" ”

Sui Han saw that he had just come in and went out again, and said strangely: "Where are you going?" ”

"Tenma lends me a favor." I don't look back from Hongtou.

"Where's the medicine?" Sui Han shouted.

There was no answer. He shook his head, and continued to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

Xue Tong saw that he was rarely flustered and anxious, so he also helped to find it, and cautiously glanced at Chen Lan and said, "Senior brother, could it be that the person you are looking for is her?" ”

"I don't know," Sui Han lowered his eyes, paused for a moment, and continued to rummage, "I just want to save her." ”

The medicine box and medicine cabinet are in the side room, and Sui Han is also proficient in the art of disambiguation, while checking Chen Lan's injury, he ordered Xue Tong to find someone to decoct the medicine.

After he medicated several skin injuries on Chen Lan's body, he touched her hot forehead and sighed. It's just that when he withdrew his hand, he was startled and muttered to himself: "The smell of the Phantom Face Pill ......"

Chen Lan suffered serious internal injuries and couldn't wake up for a while. Not only did she have a fever, but she also had the poison that the Witch Emperor ordered her to take when she left the witch cult, and she saw that she would attack in the next two days.

The Wiclay cult has always been fond of using poison to control the dead and make it impossible for them to escape easily. These poisonous formulas are so strange that people who are not pharmaceutical cannot solve them in three years and five years. Once the time limit is up, those who do not return in time to receive the antidote will be killed on the spot.

Sui Han is well aware of these methods. Although their Snow Country will not poison the secret agent killers they have cultivated, they will set a forbidden method on them, and if they betray it, they will be counterattacked by magic, and their skills will be lost.

When Ding Ruoyu woke up, half of his body was trapped in the mud of the water between the grass, and his whole body was in pain. She struggled to move out, rolled over and sat up, only to see that her leg was also broken.

She touched a small wooden stick that looked slightly straight in the mud, tore off the belt of her clothes, and it took her half a day to fix her legs. After that, relying on the unbroken hand, he slowly climbed up the grassy slope with his body half-propped.

The mountain road is remote, and I don't know when there will be cars and horses passing by, so it is not a good idea to wait here all the time. Ding Ruoyu looked at the road with no end in sight and shrank back into the grass again.

There are sharp rocks rolling down on the road, but it is not as easy to move as the wet and soft grass. Pulling through the grass and looking for some edible wild fruits, she wanted to regain her strength before continuing her move.

There was the sound of horses' hooves on the mountain road, Ding Ruoyu looked up, looked at the clothes, and it was the disciples of Pear Blossom Villa. She moved out, and it was Nangong Yun who took the lead.

"Help her get on the horse!" Nangong Yun commanded.

A sturdy disciple dismounted, went into the grass and stretched out his hand to her.

Suddenly, there was a gust of cold wind, and the male disciple's palm was gently brushed open. There was an extra white horse on the mountain road, and Ding Ruoyu had been picked up by another man in white.

Nangong Yun opened her mouth, she thought it was the man in white from the previous day who went and returned, but after a closer look, she changed her face.

"Miss Li!" She cried out, fearing that someone would come against them.

"It's okay, he ......" Ding Ruoyu saw the visitor, his heart was certain, but he fainted in front of him.

"Miss Qiao'er has helped the Nangong family a lot, please take care of her!" Seeing her like this, Nangong Yun had no choice but to turn to the man in white and salute.

"I don't need you to say anything about this kind of thing." The man in white was as cold as frost, and took Ding Ruoyu on his horse and returned, disappearing like a gust of wind.

"Could it be that it is ...... from Hong" Nangong Yun squinted her eyes in the direction they were far away, and ordered the disciples to go home.

When Ding Ruoyu woke up again, he found himself lying on a clean and comfortable bed, and it was very noisy outside, like someone was angry.

A vague but familiar female voice was shouting, followed by the sound of smashing things indiscriminately.

Soon after everything had calmed down, a small crack opened in the door, and a man in a red cloak entered, who closed the door, walked to the bed, and lifted the hat of the cloak.

"Are you awake?" He asked coldly, his face like stagnant water, and he had no emotion.

Ding Ruoyu frowned, and stood up to salute: "See the Fire Protector." ”

Mu Huo took out a small porcelain bottle from his cloak and threw it on her and said, "This is the antidote given to you by the Witch Emperor." ”

Ding Ruoyu struggled to support it, but he only felt a burst of blackness and dizziness in front of him, knowing that the poison was about to attack, he hurriedly thanked the reward and poured all the medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle into his mouth.

"Emperor Wu, I will order you to recuperate and recuperate, and I will not assign tasks for the time being." Mu Huo opened his mouth indifferently, picked up the empty small porcelain bottle, hid it under his sleeve, turned around and pushed the door out.

Ding Ruoyu looked around, the size and layout of the room were not like in the camp of the dead soldiers, and he had never been here. She reached into her arms and found a small cloth bag that was close to her body, wrapped in a hairpin and a hairpin, and an empty glass bottle, all intact.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her body again, the broken bones had been connected and wrapped in thick gauze.

"After a hundred days of broken bones, will the Witch Emperor give me such a long rest?" As soon as she lay down, there was a knock at the door, and in came a servant girl about the size of herself.

"Miss Li, this is a medicinal diet made by adults themselves, you can use some." The little maidservant helped her to lean against the edge of the bed and brought her a bowl of steaming porridge.

"Which adult?" Ding Ruoyu said vigilantly.

The little maid was stunned by her question, and stammered: "Great, great teacher." ”

Ding Ruoyu turned his face away, and his voice couldn't hear emotion: "I have no appetite." ”

The maidservant went out with the tray in her hand.

Ding Ruoyu took out the hand hidden under the quilt, and the palm of his hand was the cloth bag where the hairpin was placed before, and at this time it was wrapped in a piece of gray-white medicinal powder, and the part wet with saliva gradually turned blue-green.

It was the medicine Mu Huo had given her earlier, and she took it under her tongue and slapped it out after he left.

This is not an antidote, but another poison. The person who came was not Mu Huo. Although she only has a few relationships with the fire protector, and the human skin mask on the person's face is also very realistic, but the other party can't think of it, she can hear that this person deliberately lowered his voice to imitate the sound of the fire.

She tucked the small cloth bag into a ball and tucked it inside the placket, and the door was pushed open again.

This time it was Lihong who came in.

He personally walked in with the bowl of porridge from before and sat down next to her.

"You haven't been in a drop of water for three days." Li Hong flicked her somewhat messy forehead, caught a glimpse of her heavily wrapped broken arm, and laughed again, "Or you can't hold the bowl and need someone to feed it?" ”

"The Fire Protector has just been here." Ding Ruoyu finally let down his guard and removed the scrutinizing gaze from his face.

Lihong put down the bowl and took the pulse for her: "It's just a slight poison, and it can be dissolved with some tea." What happened? ”

Ding Ruoyu told him what happened after waking up, and took out the cloth bag to show him.

"Mu Huo is in Xiangyun City, it is impossible to come back so quickly. This poison is confusing to the mind, and if you take it, you will be at the mercy of the person who gave it in the future, and you will no longer have the slightest autonomy. Li Hong only glanced at it, then took the cloth bag and threw it under the bed.

"Who is going to give me this drug?" Ding Ruoyu was puzzled, and when his eyes turned, he found that the two of them had unconsciously clasped their hands together.

Li Hong patted the back of her hand, looked at the snow-white bed, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth: "The person who came was obviously afraid of your witchcraft and didn't dare to fight hard, so he pretended to be your superior, so you had to take the medicine." ”

"As far as I know, the Witch Cult has taken in a lot of desperate strangers in recent years, including those who make human skin masks. He is now under the Protector of the Thick Earth, and his name is Cang'er. He got up, took out a human skin mask from the package on the side, and sent it to Ding Ruoyu, "The things we usually send when we do tasks are at most used to cover up our identities and appearances, so that people outside can see that they are causing trouble, and they can't be fake, but what comes out under Cang'er's hands can." ”

"That guy did fool my eyes." Ding Ruoyu rubbed the cold mask, saying that it was a human skin mask, but in fact it was not made of human skin, but more like a material with smooth tentacles, and when he got closer, he even smelled a strange smell that he couldn't speak.

"So, he has something to do with Cang'er?" She asked.

There was a knock on the door outside, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in black came in, kneeling down on one knee and saying, "Master, the sleepless girl has been sent away." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Lihong asked her to step back, checked Ding Ruoyu's injuries again, and said slowly, "That sister of yours is very worried that you will fold in me......"

"You ......" Ding Ruoyu glared at him.

"She came to the witchcraft of her own free will." Li Hong smiled, "If she hadn't reported the news, I wouldn't have passed by your Zhuangzi that night and picked up your fish that slipped through the net." ”

Ding Ruoyu grabbed his hand and said, "Sister, does she know my identity?" ”

"If she doesn't say it, you won't say it either." Lihong picked up the bowl and fed her porridge, "She has ambition and scheming...... It's better that you don't participate in those small actions. ”
