Chapter 369: Finale (5)
When I got back to the winery, it was getting dark, and I thought about it on the way back, so I didn't tell Jackson about the undercover agent with him, because not only would it not do me any good, but it might even cause unnecessary trouble to myself.
As soon as I entered the bedroom door of the winery, Ding Ying was chatting with An An, and when I came in, Ding Ying stood up and was about to leave, I smiled and said to her: "I'm not a demon, why do you see me leaving?" ”
Ding Ying said: "Although I have never been in love, I still know what is going on with the light bulb, and you two must have a lot of whispers to talk about, and I am not suitable here." ”
Ding Ying's words made An An's face red, and I said to her: "We are not outsiders, there is no need to avoid it, I also happen to have something to ask you." As I spoke, I took out the small box that Chu Yi gave me, and after opening it, there was a small red pill lying inside, looking at the bright color of the small pill, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
Ding Ying asked me, "What is this?" Where did you get that? ”
"This was given to me by Miss Chu Yi, Count Soros's personal assistant, according to her, this pill was given to Lord Count by a wealthy merchant from the East many years ago, and later Lord Count gave it to her, it seems to be able to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, detoxify and heal injuries, I don't know if it will help An An."
Ding Ying shook her head a little speechless and said, "Han Dong, speaking of which, you are also a very knowledgeable person, how can you believe in these things?" In ancient China, the practice of alchemy was very popular, but those so-called elixir pills were mostly poisonous, and even if people took them, they had no medicinal effect, and they could even kill people, so you didn't plan to give this thing to An An to eat, right? ”
I was a little embarrassed to be educated by Ding Ying, so I said to him: "Well, I don't mean to believe in this thing, I just think that since it was given to Count Soros by a rich businessman, it shouldn't be a bad thing, and there is an exception to everything." ”
"You have to remember that the current East is equivalent to ancient China, so the people there don't think there's anything wrong with the elixir pill, in their hearts, those things are really rare treasures. Besides, what drug do you think can be left out for several years without failing? ”
I nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense, so I asked you for advice, since this thing is useless, then forget it." ”
I was about to throw the pill aside, An An suddenly pressed my hand and said, "I want to give it a try!" ”
"Would you like to give it a try?" I was puzzled and asked, "Why?" What if this thing is poisonous? ”
"If it's really poisonous, forget it, what if it's really a treasure?"
I shook my head resolutely, "No! I can't let you take this risk! Ding Ying is right, how can there be any elixir pills in this world, and I don't know what miscellaneous things are used to refine them? ”
"Then I'm willing to give it a try!" After speaking, An An snatched the pill without paying attention, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
"What are you doing here!" , I wanted to take out the pill from An An's mouth, but An An swallowed it. She said to me, "Han Dong, I know that now those people in Powers are threatening you with me, you don't want me to take risks, and I don't want you to take risks either. ”
"Alas!" , I sighed deeply, sat on the stool, and at the same time fell into a deep self-blame in my heart, as a man, I can't protect my most beloved woman, ridiculous, pathetic, lamentable!
The reason why An An did this was actually for me, if that pill really had any effect, it would be the best, I don't have to be subject to Powers and Robert's grandsons for her anymore, if there is no curative effect or even poison, it's fine, if she is really gone, I don't have to be subject to Bowers and Robert anymore, An An is ready to sacrifice herself. The atmosphere in the room dropped to the freezing point, and An An and I didn't speak, Ding Ying on the side looked very embarrassed, she hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "Well, you don't have to think so pessimistic, maybe that pill really has some magical effect?" Besides, even if there is no curative effect, it shouldn't matter if you take one, you think about Qin Shi Huang back then, but he took Fangshi's pill for many years, and didn't he live for a long time before he died, so ......", Ding Ying said and said that she couldn't go on, and An An and I sat on one side, each sad.
After a long time, Ding Ying found an excuse to leave, and only me and An An were left in the house, An An walked up to me and gently touched my head, smiled and said, "Han Dong, can you hug me again?" ”
I couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart anymore, I stood up all of a sudden and hugged An An tightly in my arms, tears that I hadn't seen for a long time rolled down my cheeks, An An gently wiped away the tears on my face for me, "I'm not dead yet!" ”
I hugged her tightly again, "Don't talk nonsense! You won't die! You'll be fine! If anything happens to you, there's no point in my life. ”
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, Sister Yuliu, Sister Ruyi, Sister Hongmei, and Uncle Wei are all waiting for you. Han Dong, I want to say sorry to you, if I hadn't been so stubborn at the beginning, if I had left with everyone, I wouldn't have these things now, I'm too selfish, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”
At this time, Bruni suddenly came over, he saw me and An An hugging each other affectionately and immediately turned around with an embarrassed face and was about to leave, I calmed down and asked him, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
Bruni said to me, "Our people have discovered something deep within the island, which may be related to the Dragon Maiden. ”
"Huh?" As soon as I heard that it was related to Long Xin'er, I immediately became nervous, and I asked him, "What do you mean?" Did you see Long Xin'er? ”
Bruni shook his head and said, "I didn't see the dragon girl, but our people found a golden altar in the depths of the island, and it seems that the altar still has traces of construction in the past two days. ”
What's going on? Bruni's words surprised me very much, haven't Long Xin'er and them been away from Paradise Island for a while? It stands to reason that the golden altar should have stopped working on it, so who is continuing to build it? Could it be that Long Xin'er and the others didn't actually leave Paradise Island, but hid in the depths of the island to continue building the altar?
I asked Bruni, "Have you seen anyone near the altar?" ”
Bruni said, "There are signs of human activity, but it's not certain that it's the dragon maiden, because it's possible that someone went to the altar while hiding from pirates." ”
I shook my head and dismissed Bruni's idea, saying, "If any islanders had ever been near the Golden Altar, it would have caused an uproar on the island. ”
An An asked me, "Could it be that the dragon girls are still on the island?" Since they had put so much effort into building that altar, they probably wouldn't give up easily. ”
"Well, I think so too, if Long Xin'er and the others really didn't leave, then I must find a way to save her back! Brunie, you tell everyone to prepare, and if it's feasible, we'll move someone over tonight. ”
"Good!" Bruni nodded, and immediately went out to prepare.
Near the end of the night, a cold wind suddenly blew on Paradise Island, and it didn't take long for large snowflakes to begin to fall down, and this heavy snow heralded the official arrival of winter on Paradise Island.
