Chapter 088: Witchcraft

Liu Muzhi soon received a letter from Concubine Chen. After reading it, although he was not convinced, he had to do it. His sister's words are like a holy decree in their Liu family, and people dare not disobey. But in Liu Muzhi's opinion, the girl of the Lin family is still a very dangerous hidden danger. The medicine she used and the doctor next to her were not the same at all, so it can be seen that this woman must not be mortal. Once the third child and the Lin family used some rare medicine she made to poison his nephew, the consequences would be really unimaginable! Think about it, their Liu family will use yin here, won't the Lin family use it? Didn't my sister think of this? I think at the beginning, she herself was not ...... Alas, that's it, don't mention old things.

After reading the letter carefully, Liu Muzhi threw it into the furnace. Staring at the pile of ashes, he began to slowly ponder what his sister had said in the letter. What does this mean...... Is it finally going to attack the third child directly?

It was a hazy winter afternoon. Although it was broad daylight, the sky was very dark, and it was gloomy and cold. Everyone was too lazy to go out, so they went around the stove in the main room to do their own things.

Zhilan was crooked in a chaise longue covered with a thick leather mattress, holding the medical book given to her by Zhan Shaofeng and reading intently. Shen'er and Qi'er sat beside her, teaching the thrush to embroider flowers on the handkerchief, and the two sisters were clumsy, either tying their own hands, or winding the embroidery thread into a ball and unable to untie it. Fu Niang was sewing a cotton jacket on the side against the fire, and she was a little tired after doing it for a while, so she put down the work in her hand and looked up at the young lady, her eyes were full of concern.

Fu Niang has been very worried about Zhilan recently. Since the birth of the young lady, she has watched the child grow up little by little. She knew that this child had been different from others since he was a child. She has an incomprehensible intelligence, and her brain is always odd. But in Fu Niang's eyes, she is a child after all, and she is a kind and good child. She treats her subordinates like family, and never cares about the rules of her master and slaves. She likes to fiddle with flowers and plants, and tinker with some drugs with strange effects, but those are not life-threatening, at best they are drugs.

However, since she came back from Jiangnan, Miss seems to have changed as a person. She didn't talk much before, but now she is even more silent, and her expression is more worried and dignified. Listening to them, it was because something happened in Jiangnan that made the young lady so preoccupied. That's just it, and the young lady let a separate ear room to make medicine in it, and no one was allowed to enter. Until now, everyone didn't know what mysterious drugs Miss was doing.

Thinking of this, Fu Niang sighed softly, rubbed the needle twice in her hair, and lowered her head to thread the needle.

Suddenly, a terrible dog barking was heard outside, breaking the silence of the afternoon. Everyone was startled and immediately looked at each other.

"The voice came from the east side of the transept." Thrush judged.

Zhilan's face suddenly changed color slightly. The east transept was the room where she specialized in medicine. Since she strictly forbade anyone to enter, everyone didn't dare to get up, just looked over here and waited for her to speak.

"Let's go, let's see." Zhilan said. Everyone got up and followed her out.

As soon as the door was opened, everyone saw a yellow dog lying motionless on the ground, apparently dead. Black blood flowed from the dog's mouth, and there was a shallow amount of heat. It seemed that the door of the house had been closed tightly, so the dog had snuck in. He must have accidentally eaten something in this house before he died.

Zhilan stepped forward and squatted in front of the dog's corpse, with a very complicated expression on her face. I saw that she stared at the dog for a while, then sighed lightly and said, "It seems that it still failed." It's a pity for this unlucky dog. ”

Then she got up again and said to the maids, "Tell Changgui and let them come and carry this dog out and bury it." You guys clean up this place and don't touch anything again, or it's dangerous. After that, he motioned to Fu Niang to go out with her first.

Fu Niang was about to go out with her, when she suddenly saw a few gray-white insects in the black blood on the ground, and they shook their bodies rapidly in the pool of blood, and then curled up into a ball and stopped moving. Fu Niang suddenly felt her scalp tingle, and couldn't help but shiver with disgust. Then, she stumbled upon a jar on the table, and there was a white flower that seemed to be moving. When I looked closely, it turned out that dozens of bugs were wriggling in that jar! Fu Niang was so frightened that she hurriedly rushed out of this terrible house.

Seeing that she reacted so much, Zhilan hurriedly came out from behind and said, "Fu Niang, don't be afraid, that insect can't hurt anyone." The dog died after accidentally eating a medicated bug. ”

Fu Niang nodded reluctantly, and the two returned to the main room together.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhilan walked to the bookshelf, flipped out the book "Miao Jiang Strange Talks", and found the page of Gu cultivation and studied and thought carefully. Fu Niang saw that she was looking seriously, and she didn't dare to disturb her, so she sat back by the stove and sewed her clothes. But when she thought of those disgusting bugs, she couldn't calm down.

After a while, Fu Niang finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss...... Seriously, what have you been up to lately? It really makes the old slave worry about it......"

Seeing that her expression was full of concern and worry, Zhilan closed the page and walked over and said, "Actually, I didn't want to say it. But now that you've seen it, it doesn't matter. She found a comfortable position on the chaise longue and lay down, and said, "Well, to put it simply, I'm raising Gu." ”

"Gu?" Fu Niang only felt dizzy on her head again, only to hear her ask weakly: "Is Miss talking about the kind of thing that Miao people raise Gu?" ”

"Not bad." Zhilan nodded.

Fu Niang hurriedly put down the work in her hand and said, "Miss, we can't do that harmful thing!" ”

Zhilan glanced at her, sighed and said, "I didn't do this to hurt others, I just wanted to be able to protect myself." ”

"Who? Who's going to hurt Miss? Fu Niang suddenly became nervous.

Zhilan shook her head and sighed, "It's hard to say." Seeing that Fu Niang was still relieved, she comforted again: "In short, you don't have to worry. When I raise this Gu worm, I can keep our people safe. ”
