Chapter 43: Poisoning
Tang Yining watched everyone drag their tired bodies to find the ancient tomb mechanism, and he followed suit, and he had already found the location of the ancient tomb, and they were almost ready to enter.
Xie Tianrui looked at Tang Yining's anxious appearance, and also looked for it, although it was not bad for his strength, but everyone looked for it together, it was better than so many people looking for it, they looked at it in a hurry.
"Ahh There was a scream, and one of them thought he had touched the mechanism, so he reached into the depths and touched himself, who knew that it was a hunting trap, specializing in catching prey.
After Tang Yining and Xie Tianrui heard the screams, they quickly rushed over, and the flesh on the man's arm was blurred, and the hunting clip was about to be caught on the bone, Tang Yining felt a wave of nausea welling up in his heart, it was too bloody.
The other companions also quickly gathered together, and one of them, who was proficient in medical skills, quickly bandaged his wound and replied to Xie Tianrui: "Master, he is fine, the ones on his arms have already met together, but it takes a long time to cultivate before the muscles will grow together." ”
"Send him back to recuperate, the monthly silver routine will be correct, and give him an extra 200 taels to supplement his family." Xie Tianrui carefully advised, there was only so much he could do.
After hearing this, Tang Yining had a new understanding of Xie Tianrui in his heart, although he usually seems to be obedient and arrogant, but when he really encounters something, he is not so unkind, and he thinks about it more thoroughly.
Watching everyone continue to carry out the next round of careful search for the mechanism, Tang Yining felt that it was not a way to search like this, after all, they had already searched for the location of the ancient tomb before, and finding the ancient tomb mechanism in the later stage was equivalent to searching again.
And she was out of the state halfway, she was afraid that if she continued to look for it so aimlessly, there would be more dangerous situations, so maybe she should use her brain to think of a way.
"I don't know if anyone has been here before." Tang Yining stood in place and sighed, if someone has come, will they leave any mark?
"If no one has come, where have the people who built the tombs gone? Or will some tomb robbers leave some robbers behind or something? The more she thought about it, the more possibilities came to her mind, Xie Tianrui thought carefully after hearing this.
The other people continued to search, Xie Tianrui pulled Tang Yining to the entrance of the ancient tomb and said, "Although the ancient tomb has been sealed now, what you just said, whether anyone has come and robbed the tomb can be classified into one category." ”
"Those who built ancient tombs don't dare to say whether they will leave a mark, but the tomb robbers will definitely have traces such as robbing holes, otherwise how can they enter." Tang Yining and Xie Tianrui analyzed the current form.
Xie Tianrui also agreed with Tang Yining's reasoning that the people who built the ancient tombs were not as likely as the traces left by the tomb robbers, and what they did now was to find the right direction.
"Yes, according to what you just said, we will start to attack the cave of those who robbed the tomb." Xie Tianrui made the most impulsive decision.
Tang Yining nodded, and the leader gathered everyone together and asked everyone to search again from the thief hole, greatly reducing the search area.
After hearing this, the hope in everyone's hearts was ignited again, and every time they searched for a target aimlessly, they would be desperate, because they had no direction to speak of, and they were really tired.
It was dark, and everyone's visual effects were not so good, Xie Tianrui asked the leader to let everyone rest, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but if they couldn't find them for a day, they would have to stay in this ghost place for a day, thinking of this
Everyone was a little melancholy.
Tang Yining was lying on the lawn looking at the Big Dipper in the sky, a little homesick, she traveled here to either stay in the room or design jewelry, busy every day, and didn't have time to enjoy the ancient times that were strange to her for a long time.
Xie Tianrui took off his cloak and draped it on her very considerately, crossed his hands and looked up at the sky, quietly enjoying this moment with Tang Yining.
"The sign that looks like a sheep's head is Aries, and I'm that sign." Tang Yining gestured with his hand to the outline of Aries and pointed it to Xie Tianrui.
Xie Tianrui carefully followed Tang Yining's fingers and looked, it was indeed like the Aries she said, but what is Aries?
"The constellation I'm talking about, it's definitely not in your mind, you don't understand it, you just have to remember it, I'm an Aries." Xie Tianrui turned sideways and looked at Tang Yining, who was happy in the night, Tang Yining seemed to be very remarkable, acting as a profound scholar in front of Xie Tianrui.
"What zodiac sign am I?" Xie Tianrui suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
Tang Yining felt that he had really dug a hole for himself, he only knew what month and month his constellation was from, and as for the other constellations, she didn't remember it at all.
This is one of the special personalities of the grinning Aries, but Xie Tianrui asked, if she couldn't answer, she seemed too low, so she pretended to pinch her fingers and calculated: "When is your birthday." ”
"July 21." Xie Tianrui replied simply, he seemed to be about to remember his birthday, that kind of lively suicide seemed to be very close to him, but in his memory was really far away.
According to his understanding of Xie Tianrui's personality, it is almost the same to say that he is a Leo, but he is like a Capricorn, but she doesn't like Capricorn, so she opened her mouth and said: "Leo, this is this sign." ”
When he watched Tang Yining show himself again, Xie Tianrui felt that his heart was not as empty as just now, full of joy and hope.
He loved every surprise Tang Yining brought him.
"Your zodiac sign is my patron saint, it protects me and loves me." Tang Yining also turned sideways and looked at Xie Tianrui.
"Leo, I like the name." Xie Tianrui and Tang Yining looked at each other and said affectionately.
Tang Yining This was the first time she had such close contact with Xie Tianrui, although it was dark night, the faces of the people around her were red, and she was a little shy.
Xie Tianrui saw her careful thoughts, and reached out to tighten the cloak for her, and his palm accidentally touched Tang Yining's cheek, and the two of them suddenly felt numb all over their bodies.
"I can't sleep." Tang Yining's voice was lazy and coquettish, Xie Tianrui smiled lightly, he liked this coquettish Tang Yining more and more, his coquettish always poked the softest place in his heart.
Seeing Xie Tianrui sit up and didn't respond, Tang Yining also sat up and stretched out his hand to shake Xie Tianrui's arm and said, "You can sing me a little song, maybe I'll fall asleep while listening to it." ”
When Tang Yining said this, the person she missed the most was her mother, and when she was a child, she fell asleep in her mother's various varieties.
Xie Tianrui suddenly had two black lines on his face, where would he sing a little song, but he didn't want to break the sweet atmosphere, so he had to whisper: "It's okay to send you a poem." ”
"Don't want it, just want a song." Tang Dynasty
Yining thought to herself that Xie Tianrui sent him ancient poems, but she couldn't understand them, in case it was a love poem, she couldn't hear the meaning, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
Seeing that Xie Tianrui didn't say a word, Tang Yining was afraid that he would be angry, so he said in a loud voice: "Otherwise, let's go find the thief cave, they are tired for a day, let's reduce their workload tomorrow." ”
"That's a good idea, let's go." Xie Tianrui got up and pulled Tang Yining away, thinking that after he went back, he would find a time to learn the first tune, so as not to look like this next time because he wouldn't have the appearance he had today. 、
In the dark night, the surroundings are very quiet, you can hear the cries of various animals, and you can also ask about the smell of the wind nearby, because it is close to the ancient tomb, mixed with the smell of moisture.
"There are a lot of beasts around here, big and small, you follow me." Xie Tianrui tightened Tang Yining's hand, since he brought her here, he had to bring her back completely.
"I'll be careful, let's separate, if we are together, it will be a waste of time and energy to find it alone." Tang Yining was indeed reluctant to let go of Xie Tianrui's hand, but for the sake of the overall situation, the personal affairs of his children could only be put aside for the time being.
Xie Tianrui knew Tang Yining's temperament too well, and after thinking about it, he let go of Tang Yining's hand and handed her a dagger: "You keep this for self-defense." ”
Tang Yining was pleased to see that the dagger was measuring left and right, and it was a good dagger.
"This fireworks are also for you, when you encounter danger, remember to send a signal for help." Xie Tianrui's advice made Tang Yining's heart warm.
After the two of them explained everything, they each groped for traces of the cave in the dark.
A few minutes later, Tang Yining regretted her heroic feelings of taking care of the overall situation just now, because after she acted alone, she was terribly scared, there was no flashlight or light in ancient times, and she completely overestimated her ability.
She quickly turned her head to look for Xie Tianrui's figure, fortunately it was not far, just a few hundred meters away, she ran towards Xie Tianrui like crazy, so that she didn't see the poisonous snake dozens of meters in front of her spitting bloodshot at her.
When she ran to Xie Tianrui's side, she just felt that her calf suddenly hurt, and when she looked down in the light of the night, she found that green venom was coming out of her leg, and when she saw that the snake at her feet was about to attack her again, she hurriedly took out the dagger Xie Tianrui gave him and cut off the snake's head fiercely.
Xie Tianrui turned his head when he heard a voice, and found that Tang Yining had fallen, so he hurriedly ran over and asked nervously, "Are you okay?" ”
"I, I was bitten by a snake." Tang Yining held the dagger and cried in shock, she didn't know why she was so unlucky, would she die of poison?
So the modern can't go back? In ancient times, he was not in a daze, and he died like this?
"It's okay, the poisoning is not deep, this is very common, just bear with it." Xie Tianrui said, took a sip of wine and sprayed it on Tang Yining's legs, then drank it himself and rinsed his mouth, bowed his head and sucked the poison out for Tang Yining.
Looking at Xie Tianrui's serious appearance, Tang Yining was very moved in her heart, and her heart was warm when she saw her character in adversity.
After a while, Xie Tianrui took care of her wounds and took her to search in the dark night, but the two of them still found nothing when it was almost dawn.
"You have a wound in your leg, let's rest and wait until dawn." Xie Tianrui said and pulled Tang Yining aside and sat down, and raised the fire himself.
"Actually, that's what I mean, you sit down and I'll tell you a story." Although the snake venom was cleaned up, she still couldn't bear it.
