But he seemed to be prepared, "That's nothing to do with me." ”

"Then why are you eyeing me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been lured out of Jinling City. Mu Baili can use me as bait, there must be something to think about. With that, she began to cough again, and sat on the edge of the bed shaking continuously.

Wen frowned, "You are congenitally deficient, why isn't it a drag from thinking too much?" ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled bitterly, "If you think too little, it's not a drag, but the death period is not far away." She sighed lightly and looked up at him, "Do you know the origin of the jade pendant?" So you've been following me, thinking I'm the owner of the jade pendant? ”

The jade pendant was given by his mother, if he really came for the jade pendant, then it is very likely that he also came for his mother. Over the years, Zhao Wuwu has been suspicious of his parents' way of getting along, and it seems that there is a secret behind it.

"Believe it or not, I don't know anything about the jade pendant. I showed up at that time because I only recognized you! The Ministry of Rites is still in the book, and the future is immeasurable. Your father is the prime minister, and my own safety is also guaranteed. At least the Zhao family and Dongchang are incompatible, if I fall under your command, I won't dare to force me anymore if I want to come to Dongchang. "I just want to ask for a place and enjoy my old age in peace!" ”

"Why did Mu Baili arrest you?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Wen Gu smiled, "If I say it's for a woman, do you believe it?" ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled coldly, "I don't believe it." ”

"Since I said it, you don't believe it, then don't ask in the future." "Some things are not as complicated as you think, and you smart people like to think about simple things too complicated." ”

What does this mean?

Seeing the back of Wen Gu's departure, Zhao Wuwu was suspicious, in fact, she didn't believe a word of what Wen Gu said.

He must know what secret his mother's Jade Perry is hiding? And Mu Baili chased after him hard, and went to Jinling City to arrest him thousands of miles away, how could it be for a woman?

Mu Baili is a eunuch, and these wine-colored wealth will not be the target of his competition at all.

What are the grievances between Shu and Mu Baili?

Zhao Wuwu couldn't figure it out, he only felt that his brain hurt, and it hurt a little badly. Rubbing her eyebrows, she remembered how good Mu Baili was, at least Mu Baili's kung fu in serving people was excellent.

There was a sound of rustling outside, and the little girl poked her head outside and smiled at her, "Big brother, you are here!" ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled reluctantly, "Niu'er, why are you here?" ”

"Big brother!" The little girl came in upside down, "Actually, I know a secret, and that's from my mother." ”

"What's the secret?" Zhao Wuwu rubbed her eyebrows, a little girl, what can she know?

The little girl looked left and right, convinced that there was no one outside, so she cautiously spoke, "Mother said that the plague in Yangliu Village actually started from a strange person. The strange man didn't know where he came from, and fled to Yangliu Village, where he was rescued by his uncles and uncles. ”

Zhao Wuwu frowned and looked at her puzzled, "Weirdos? How weird is it? ”

The mother didn't say it, the mother only said that not long after, the uncles and uncles in Yangliu Village began to show symptoms of the plague. Everyone is sick, very sick. The little girl bit her lip, "These are all things that my mother told me secretly." ”

"Then did your mother say what kind of weirdo that weirdo is? Even if it's a description, such as looking weird, behaving weirdly, talking weird, there's a strange place after all! Zhao Wuwu can only explain to the child, the child is small, you are too profound, she definitely doesn't understand.

The little girl suddenly realized, "Mother said that the strange man was injured and was chased and killed." ”

"That's it?" Zhao Wuwu frowned, "What kind of injury?" ”

"It looks like it's rotten." The little girl blinked, "Just like everyone else, it's very badly injured." ”

"And then?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

The little girl shook her head, "I don't know later." ”

Zhao Wuwu thought for a while, lowered his voice and asked, "Niu'er, then do you know what Zhuo Lei was here for that night?" ”

"Big brother, what the hell are you doing?" The little girl blinked and asked, "Are you really going to harm us?" ”

Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "Big brother won't hurt people, big brother just wants to help everyone." ”

Hearing this, the little girl stared at Zhao Wuwu for a long time and did not speak. Those small hands twisted the corners of her patched clothes, as if they were hesitating. This girl seems to know something, but she doesn't dare to say it.

After all, Zhao Wuwu is an outsider.

Or, before that, someone warned her.

"If the eldest brother can find a prescription and save everyone, the eldest brother will definitely send you to the school and let you go to study and learn calligraphy, okay?" Zhao Wuwu can grasp people's hearts the most, "Like those boys, learn to write, are you willing?" ”

The little girl tilted her head to look at her, and there was a clear light in her clean eyes. In front of children, the intrigues of adults will become a mirror in which they can see their ugliest things. Hidden beneath the glossy exterior, that filthy heart.

Zhao Wuwu's eyes shrank and didn't say anything more.

But the little girl smiled and said, "Big brother, let's make a decision, don't lie to me." ”

Zhao Wuwu nodded, "Okay!" ”

"I'll come to you in the evening." The little girl is mysterious.

"I'll wait for you!" Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly twice, and watched the little girl run away quickly.

What does this kid know?

Wen came in from outside, "Why did this kid come here?" ”

"It's nothing, she came to see me." Zhao Wuwu still looked indifferent, "This place is boring, and she has no father and mother, so she is very lonely and lonely." ”

"It's very pitiful to have a child without a mother." Refreshment is very light.

"I'll take a break, you can look around." Zhao Wuwu lay on the wooden bed tiredly.

Wen Gu nodded, looking at her very gently, "You sleep well, I'll watch you outside, and I won't let people come in and disturb you." He knew she slept lightly.

"Thank you!" Zhao Wuwu turned his back to him.

He went out cautiously, closed the bamboo curtain door carefully, and really guarded outside. Zhao Wuwu turned around, and through the gap in the bamboo curtain, he could clearly see the figure squatting at the door. Rao's father never guarded like this when he was a child.

His eyes were slightly gloomy, and Zhao Wuwu faintly felt that this Wen Gu's attitude towards him was not quite right. This is not an ordinary compliment, nor is it a discord and a disobedience.

What does he want from himself?

Except for her mother, she never trusts people who rush to her, even if it is Yunzheng and Suxi, it took many years to gain her trust.

Closing her eyes, Zhao Wuwu didn't want to think about it, but now she still thinks about it, what secret will the little girl tell her tonight?

Wen Gu stood outside, and from time to time there were one or two coughing sounds inside, which gradually thinned out from the initial denseness. He kept pinching the time, calculating the time when she had taken the medicine to the present, and the time when the effect of the medicine would occur. From the sound of coughing, it can be inferred that the course of the drug's effect, and how long the subsequent effect can last.

What kind of medicine is this?

That day in the ancestral hall, he had already noticed that there seemed to be a foreign body in her body, but he couldn't tell what it was. This pulse is always a little weird, not like the pulse of ordinary people. Of course, ordinary doctors can't see it.

Wen Gu paused, sighed in his heart, and looked embarrassed.

Zhao Wuwu slept until dark.

"Mu Baili, I have a headache!" She frowned, remembering that this was not a post house, where did the dead eunuch come from? Inevitably sighed lightly, Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly. Xu was cold, and when she woke up, her face was even paler.

I regretted it too late, and I knew that I should bring a small blanket. Her health is not good, so I am afraid that it will make it worse. Wen Gu hurriedly entered the door, "How?" ”

Zhao Wuwu sat up, rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "I have a headache." ”

"Maybe it's cold, I'll check your pulse." Wen sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to clasp her wrist.

Zhao Wuwu coughed violently, his face was blue and white, and it was difficult to see the extreme.

took out the white porcelain bottle from the medicine box and looked at her worriedly, "When I was refining medicine for you earlier, I deliberately made an extra bottle, just in case. You have a lot of cold on you, so this body is always very weak. It's congenital deficiency, but I think—"

He paused, noticed that Zhao Wuwu was staring at him with cold eyes, and he didn't say anything at the moment.

"Get me water!" Zhao Wuwu said.

Wen Gu opened the kettle and watched Zhao Wuwu take the medicine, while he sat there motionless without waves, as if he was thinking about something.

"You'd better swallow some words, or I won't be able to keep you in the future." Zhao Wuwu's tone was cold.

"Good!" Shu nodded his head.

"I'm hungry." She said.

"I'll take out the steamed buns and heat them up." Wen turned around and went out, and when he got to the door, he looked at her worriedly, "You're alone—is that okay?" ”

Zhao Wuwu didn't say anything, still looking cold and indifferent.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Wen Gu left, the little girl slipped in like a smoke, "Big brother, I only dared to come in when I saw the old uncle leaving, let's go!" Suddenly, by the faint candlelight, she was stunned for a long time, "Big brother, why is your face worse than mine?" Is your illness serious? ”

Zhao Wuwu coughed, "It's okay, let's go!" ”

The little girl nodded, "You follow me, be careful." ”

"Good!" Zhao Wuwu pursed his lips.

The little girl walked in an extremely remote place, and the quarantine area was also different, and the more she went inside, the stronger the breath of death became. At the very end, there were basically plague patients with only one breath left.

Zhao Wuwu covered his mouth and nose, trying his best to hold his breath, not letting himself cough out, so as not to disturb others and cause unnecessary disasters. The little girl led the way in front, turning her head to look at Zhao Wuwu step by step. Even such a young child knows that she is worried about her body, and it can be seen that her sick appearance has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhao Wuwu was frivolous at his feet, and he inevitably sighed that the two children were not as good.

The little girl is still light and agile under her feet, but what about herself?

Suddenly, the little girl paused, "Shhh She made an expression at Zhao Wuwu, and then slowly squatted down and hid behind a haystack, "Big brother, there is someone in front!" ”

Zhao Wuwu looked at it, and there seemed to be unusual people living in the courtyard in front of him, these people were wearing coarse clothes and linen, and they looked like ordinary people, but their faces were tightly covered, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. Moreover, they all wore gloves on their hands, which did not look like people infected with the plague.

Who are they?

What the hell are you trying to do here?

Zhao Wuwu was puzzled, frowning and looking at the little girl.

The little girl lowered her voice, "Since Brother Zhuo came, these people have come in, and they have been living here and refusing to leave. None of us dare come near here, they're so fierce! ”

"Who are these?" Zhao Wuwu asked in a low voice.
