Chapter 56: Not Present

The knife edge was as painful as the bite of thousands of ants, Zhu Rong and Zhu Yue spent ten days in such a situation where life was worse than death, and it was time to pull out the poison again.

Seeing the two wooden barrels juxtaposed in the clean room, Zhu Rong stiffened, and Zhu Yue's face turned green.

The color of the liquid in the tub became more intense, and it emitted an ominous pungent smell.

"Scared?" Zhu Luan sat on the round stool by the bathtub and fiddled with knives, saw the expressions of the brother and sister, and asked with a smile.

"If you hadn't added something weird to it, you wouldn't be so scared." Zhu Yue was silent, just looked at Zhu Luan with disgust, while Zhu Rong glanced at Zhu Luan's hands and replied with the same smile.

Zhu Luan smiled when he heard this.

"To cure strange diseases, you naturally need to use unusual things." She pushed Zhu Yue out of the clean room, "Okay, cousin come first, cousin, you can wait outside." ”

Zhu Yue frowned and glanced at Zhu Luan dissatisfied, but seemed to hate talking to her, shook Zhu Luan's hand off her body, and walked out of the clean room.

Zhu Rong watched his sister's departure, turned his head and smiled at Zhu Luan, "I always feel that my cousin is very enthusiastic about me." ”

Zhu Luan narrowed his eyes, took out a short knife with a cold light from the cloth bag, and put it in front of his eyes to study it carefully.

"I don't care, if you don't want to come first, change your cousin first." She said.

Zhu Rong's face was ugly, and his eyes were attracted by the short knife in the girl's hand, and he only felt that the hairs on his body stood up again.

It's really hard for this woman to take advantage of her verbally.

Zhu Rong glanced at Zhu Luan and saw that her attention was on the knife in her hand and did not look up. He let out a long breath and began to undress without saying a word.

The boy tried to undress as fast as he could, while spying on the girl sitting on the round bench in front of him.

There was silence in the clean room, and only the rustle of clothes could be heard.

The girl in front of her had no intention of avoiding it at all, and Zhu Rong felt extremely embarrassed.

Finally all the clothes on his body were removed, Zhu Rong breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to the bathtub, and was about to jump in-

Zhu Luan raised his head.

Zhu Rong's blood coagulated.

Then like boiling magma, it began to surge.

However, the girl's gaze did not flicker at all, and Zhu Rong even wondered if she didn't take him into account at all, the cousin simply glanced up, and then lowered her head again.

"Get in. The face is soaked in it. The voice was calm and unwavering.

Zhu Rong only felt that he was extremely ridiculous when he was nervous just now, stepped into the bathtub, took a deep breath, and he sank into the medicinal soup.

Zhu Rong closed his eyes tightly and waited quietly in the medicinal soup. Then he heard the sound of the wooden bench rubbing against the bluestone floor, and the inaudible footsteps of the girl.

She walked over to the tub.

After a while, I only heard the medicinal soup begin to bubble, and the sharp pain that I had experienced once came to the world again.

Is this pain from this girl's blood?

Zhu Rong bit his lip tightly and tried his best to endure under the medicinal soup. The scene he had seen before echoed in his mind.

Feeling extremely suffocated for a moment, Zhu Rong finally couldn't hold it anymore, and came out of the water with a bang.

"That's not going to work?" Zhu Luan's voice came from not far away.

Zhu Rong coughed violently, his vision blurred under the severe pain, and he could only faintly see the silhouette of the girl.

His limbs were as heavy as lead, and his consciousness was constantly blurred, and Zhu Rong hated this indisputable body to death.

"Why......" He reluctantly looked in the direction where Zhu Luan was, and asked intermittently, "Why...... Want...... So...... Do ......"

Zhu Rong's sloppy eyes saw Zhu Luan lightly open Zhu Luan's lips, as if he had said something, but he didn't listen to her answer.

Because he fainted when he heard this.

I fainted in pain again.

……

……

I didn't understand what she was thinking.

It must have been interesting to watch him and his sister struggle so ugly.

After waking up on the second day, Zhu Rong recalled yesterday's conversation with the girl, which was not a conversation, and smiled self-deprecatingly, in front of this woman, he and his sister were just a mass of flesh and blood that was played at will.

The feeling of being tied up came from his limbs, and Zhu Rong opened his eyes and found that he was indeed tied to the bed. It's like dealing with a recalcitrant beast.

He struggled to turn his head to look, but he didn't see the woman.

Zhu Yue was tied to another bed opposite, and there was a familiar round stool next to the bed, but the stool was empty.

Where did this woman go? Zhu Rong was secretly dissatisfied in his heart.

"Young Master, you're awake!" Mrs. Chen's surprised voice came from the side, and she walked in with two bowls of medicine.

Mrs. Chen put a pillow under Zhu Rong's head and fed the medicine to Zhu Rong's mouth, Zhu Rong swallowed the medicine with great difficulty, only to feel extremely tired.

"Young Master, is there anything you want to eat? The old slave is going to prepare it for you. After drinking the medicine, Mrs. Chen asked diligently.

Zhu Rong waved his hand, closed his eyes, and remained motionless. I always feel that the feeling of waking up this time is not as comfortable as last time, not only is the knife on my body painful and itchy, but I also feel panicked. There is no appetite for it.

He subconsciously looked at the bed where Zhu Yue was, and his eyes stayed on the round stool next to the bed, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Young Master, are you looking for something?" Mrs. Chen's gaze followed Zhu Rong's movement and asked suspiciously.

"Didn't look for anything." Zhu Rong was turning his head and staring at the ceiling of the secret room.

"Where did she go?" After being silent for a while, Zhu Rong asked.

"You mean Miss Nine?" Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment and asked.

Zhu Rong snorted.

"Miss Nine, she ......" For some reason, Mrs. Chen, who was originally cool, suddenly vomited.

"Grandma didn't come to see us, is there something going on up there?" Zhu Rong turned his head and looked directly at Mrs. Chen, his gaze was sharp and pressing.

Under Zhu Rong's gaze, beads of sweat oozed from Mrs. Chen's forehead, and she was silent for a while, then she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"The day of the county exam is approaching, Miss Nine has to take the county exam in a hurry, or she has to participate in both civil and military affairs."

"County exam?" Zhu Rong repeated her words, "Is she crazy?" Or do you want to dress as a man? ”

"Miss Nine wants to take the county exam in her current capacity." Mrs. Chen muttered. "The old lady disagreed, and the two of them were still talking about it above."

"A woman actually wants to take the national exam? Or do you participate in the liberal arts and martial arts at the same time? The corners of Zhu Rong's mouth pulled out a sarcastic smile, "It's really a pipe dream." ”

After so many years underground, Zhu Rong has read countless books, practiced many exercises by himself, and once wanted to participate in the national examination. But when he saw his face in the bronze mirror, he knew that he was destined to fail to participate in the national examination.

He had also seen some introductions to the women's national exam, but he felt it was just a joke.

And that woman actually wants to take the national exam? It's really a laugh out of the big teeth.

As he was talking, suddenly a girl appeared at the entrance of the secret room.

"Granny Chen, it's not good, Miss Nine went to the Duan clan school, the old lady is about to be angry, tell you to hurry up." She said anxiously.
