Chapter 014: Dumb Demon?
Qu Ning, who had finished the play, lay on the edge of the cave entrance, looking at the dim bottom for a long time, patiently waiting for the demon to respond.
Quiet!
In addition to being quiet, it is still quiet!
Minutes and seconds passed, and there was no sound underneath.
If it weren't for the fact that the demon was locked up below, and there were people under the food delivered every day, Qu Ning couldn't help but wonder if there was anyone down there.
Since she left all the steamed buns for breakfast, she is not so unkind, why pretend to be "cold" now, and you shouldn't help or not? Qu Ning scratched his head, and he didn't realize that he pulled it up halfway through the food box in the morning, purely making a big fuss for himself.
Qu Ning waited for a long time, but there was still no sound at the bottom.
Qu Ning thought about it, could it be that the demon has been imprisoned for a long time, has not spoken to anyone for more than ten years, and has become mute, so there is no way to respond to her?
The more she thinks about it, the more likely it becomes, it seems that she must get a pen and paper as soon as possible and send them down, but I don't know if the demon below will still take the pen and write?
Qu Ning didn't delay any longer, pulled up the hanging food box, and shouted down again: "Husband, then I'll go back first, and I'll bring you dinner in the evening." Think about the prescription again. Now it's just the two of us here, so you have to help me as much as you can! "In other words, helping her is helping himself.
The Imprisoned Demon Below: "......"
The food box that was pulled up was empty. Qu Ning opened it and looked at it, and then went down the mountain with the empty food box.
The carrier pigeon tied to the trunk of the tree on the side of the mountain road was frightened every time he saw Qu Ning passing by.
Qu Ning has always wanted to eat this carrier pigeon, but he has not been free for the past two days.

Outside the thatched house.
When Qu Ning returned, Mai Dong finally succeeded in making a small poison pill. This poison is a mixture of three simple poisonous herbs, and the efficacy of the medicine has not been tried yet.
Qu Ning took the pill and looked at it carefully, put it away with great satisfaction, and encouraged Mai Dong to make persistent efforts, make more, and study in the direction that the more poisonous it is, the more difficult it is to solve.
Mai Dong nodded.
Qu Ning then let the two of them into the house, and the three of them had lunch together.
Meal.
Mai Dong crafts a new poison.
Qu Ning asked Xiao Quanzi to go to the mausoleum keeper to ask for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to come back, and said that she wanted it.
Izumiko was a little worried about coming, but she was still willing to give it a try.
It didn't take long for Xiao Quanzi to return empty-handed, repeating to Qu Ning what the mausoleum guards refused.
Qu Ning stood up and went in person, letting Xiaoquanzi follow. It's just a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and she doesn't understand why the mausoleum guards are so stingy?
At the same time, on the side of the mausoleum guards, some mausoleum guards had secretly gone to tell some people, saying that Qu Ning suddenly asked for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
In this imperial tomb, no one is allowed to have any communication with the imprisoned one, and all pen, ink, paper, and inkstones have always been one of the most strictly controlled things in the imperial tomb. Qu Ning, who gave the prisoner three meals a day every day, gave a clear order from above that she would never be allowed to touch things such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Near the tomb of the first emperor, under the sun, in the open space, the arriving Qu Ning confronted the mausoleum guards.
The mausoleum keeper was resolute, still saying that if he didn't give it, he wouldn't give it, and there was no room for negotiation.
Qu Ning was angry, and for the first time since he crossed over, he felt a little wrong. They don't give her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, are they afraid that she will use these to contact the outside world, or who will she contact?
Xiao Quanzi kept persuading beside him, afraid that Qu Ning would rush forward and quarrel with the mausoleum guards.
Qu Ning thought that he was not the opponent of the mausoleum guards, it was impossible to quarrel with them, and it was even more impossible to fight, so he finally left in anger and returned to the thatched house. Do they think that in this way, she has no other way?
Xiao Quanzi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Qu Ning.
