Chapter 260: The Thief
As if in order to show his impatience, Mu Qing even used light skills, and when Chu Nian was taken back to the Mu family by Mu Qing, it was already the tail of dusk, and the two of them eagerly walked into the Mu family, and Mrs. Mu, who bumped into her head-on, looked at her daughter with suspicious eyes.
"Ah Qing, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Mu Qing pulled Chu Nian past Mrs. Mu's side, and said without looking back: "Something!" Mother, you can use it for dinner first, and Chu Nian and I will come later! ”
Chu Nian turned around and smiled apologetically at Mrs. Mu, and was pulled into the corner by Mu Qing, leaving Mrs. Mu helplessly looking at the backs of the two, and sighed: "This girl, no matter what she does, is so in a hurry, and now she still brings Chu Nian...... I hope that girl won't bring a calm child like Chu Nian into such an impulsive person who doesn't know how to calm down. ”
Walking around the corner, there was a red-tiled house, standing alone in the courtyard, Mu Qing's steps became more and more urgent, and he bumped into the medicine king who was holding the medicinal soup.
The medicine king was lowering his head and carefully caring for the medicinal soup in his hand, and was inadvertently startled by Mu Qing, and the medicinal soup under his hand was stable before spilling out a few drops, the medicine king was about to have a seizure, raised his head, and saw Mu Qing and Chu Nian standing side by side.
He opened his mouth, but before he made a sound, he was blocked by Mu Qing.
"Medicine King, what's wrong with Chu Yuanlang?"
The Medicine King glanced at Chu Nian, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "There is no sign of awakening yet, and I haven't learned illusion, I don't know if it will work." ”
Chu Nian frowned, and saw Mu Qing turn his head, looking at Chu Nian with blazing eyes, that look, as if Chu Nian couldn't cure Chu Yuanlang today, she would cry to Chu Nian.
Seeing this, Chu Nian had no choice but to sigh helplessly, let go of Mu Qing and the Medicine King, and walked towards the house, "I'll try, if it doesn't work, I'll go find someone to ask." ”
Mu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and even the Medicine King looked at Chu Nian with some curiosity, and when Mu Qing chased after him in two steps, the Medicine King had no choice but to put the soup bowl in his hand aside, and chased the two of them into the house with his beard.
In the room, Chu Nian looked at Chu Yuanlang lying on the couch, her face was heavy, and after a while, her subordinates waved gently, it was a way to solve illusions, but after waiting for a long time, the people on the couch did not react at all.
Seeing this, Mu Qing on the side hurriedly said: "You try the method that Grandma said, but Grandma said that you should fight poison with poison!" ”
Chu Nian looked back at Mu Qing helplessly, with a serious face: "Do you know how risky it is to fight poison with poison?" Not to mention whether I can solve the illusion that Genro is in now, if not, the second illusion I cast will also cause a heavy blow to Genro's spirit, and when the time comes, Genro is afraid that he will really not wake up! ”
Hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly withered, she spread out on the chair, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
At this time, the medicine king on the side condensed and said: "County Lord, the old man thinks that the county lord might as well try, if it really can't be cured, the county lord will untie the warlock again," he said, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the half of the nightmare incense burning on the side: "Nightmare incense also has an effect of stabilizing the mind, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to use the nightmare incense to make medicine for Mu Niangzi last time." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up again, but this time he didn't interject, but his gaze shifted from the nightmare incense to Chu Nian, and the light in his eyes almost made Chu Nian unbearable to look at directly.
After pondering for a while, Chu Nian said, "I can try, but, Mu Qing, I need something." ”
Seeing Chu Nian agree, Mu Qing hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic: "You can say what you need, although our Mu family is not a famous family, but I will definitely not lack you what you need." ”
Chu Nian glanced at her helplessly, and then said: "As long as you give me a four-plan table, it will be the size of this bed, and a few more family members, and I will leave the rest," as she spoke, she looked back at the Medicine King, leaned over and said, "Please also ask the Medicine King to be my assistant temporarily, if it is handed over to others, I am not at ease." ”
At this moment, Mu Qing had already turned around excitedly to prepare things, and seeing this, the Medicine King also bent his eyes and said, "Okay, follow the orders of the county lord." ”
……
By the time Chu Nian finished casting the illusion on Chu Yuanlang, it was already night, and a clear moon in the sky shone on the snow on the ground, Chu Nian came out of the Mu family with a long sigh of relief, this illusion still wasted some strength, and it took a long time, besides, the dark illusion strength was already above her, and every illusion she cast casually required her to resist with a stronger illusion.
If Chu Yuanlang's illusion was really impacted by the illusion she had just set up, it was estimated that it would not be effective until tomorrow.
Hearing about this, Mu Qing volunteered to take care of Chu Yuanlang tonight, no matter who tried to dissuade her, she would not listen, Mrs. Mu knew that no one could control what this girl decided since she was a child, so she simply left it to her.
When Chu Nian returned to the vanilla house alone, it was already late at night, and for some reason, the vanilla house was quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little strange.
On weekdays, Chu Nian just returned home, Mother Zhu and Mei Xiang must have greeted them as soon as possible, but today the entire Vanilla House was empty, everyone seemed to be asleep, but it didn't seem to be asleep, between the candles, Chu Nian had a hint of foreboding in his heart, so he turned around and walked out of the Vanilla House, and hurriedly walked towards the main hall.
Sure enough, the main hall was brightly lit, the old lady sat on the main seat, Xiao Chen sat on the side, and several other subordinates who could take charge stood on both sides, kneeling in the middle were Zhu's mother and Qiao'er, and Mei Xiang stood on the other side, looking indignant.
Even Li Le and Wu Liang were standing aside, Wu Liang was holding Xiao Su Su who was yawning in his arms, the little girl was bored but because she stayed in Wu Liang's arms, she didn't dare to fall asleep, and when she was looking around, she saw Chu Nian coming in, and the little girl hurriedly said in a milky voice: "Sister! Embrace! ”
Li Le's face on the side was not very good, and when he saw Chu Nian coming, he blinked and didn't say anything, Wu Liang stabilized the little girl in his arms, and coaxed softly: "Su Su is good, my sister has something important to deal with, let's stay here and don't make a noise, okay?" ”
The little girl blinked ignorantly, and at the end, nodded vigorously.
At this stall, I saw that the old lady at the top was tired, but she also looked at Chu Nian with a little annoyance: "Nian'er, you came back just right, look at what your subordinates in Vanilla House have done, she has been with you for too long, and the old body is not easy to decide, you say, is it to punish or not to punish?" ”
Chu Nian's gaze moved from the old lady's face to Xiao Chen's face on the side, at this moment, Xiao Chen's face was cold, as if it was none of her business, but it made people feel that she was responsible for this trouble.
As if feeling Chu Nian's gaze, Xiao Chen blinked and said with a smile: "Nian'er, what are you looking at me?" Don't you ask, what kind of beastly things have your subordinates done? ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian looked sideways and looked at Mother Zhu suspiciously, and saw Mother Zhu open her mouth before she spit out half a sentence: "Lady, this girl Qiao'er just can't think about it for a while, and she definitely has no intention of betraying her master." ”
Chu Nian frowned, and saw Qiao'er's kneeling leg move towards her, pulling the corner of her skirt, and crying: "Lady, it's really not a slave, that thief is really not a slave." ”
Xiao Chen, who was at the top, sneered, and said: "These subordinates don't know how to explain things to you first, so let's talk about it, Nian'er, when you went out just now, a little thief sneaked into the herb house, I didn't know that you had already gone out, and prepared lotus seed soup to give you an appetizer, but I didn't expect to bump into this girl and whisper to the thief, guess what?" This girl conspired with the thief to ruin your innocence tonight, but I didn't expect to be broken by me, Mother Zhu is still protecting her, I see, is Mother Zhu also their accomplice? ”
Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, Xiao Chen's gave her lotus seed soup? Let's not talk about whether I really went to send lotus seed soup, even if there is such a bowl of lotus seed soup, is there no poison or something in it?
Besides, Qiao'er was stuffed into the vanilla house by herself, why did she start to self-destruct the chess pieces at this time?
At this stall, I saw Qiao'er raise her head with tears on her face and said: "It's the lady who made a mistake, the slave and maid also happened to bump into the thief at that time, and was trying to catch him and not let him run away, so the lady came, the lady Mingjian, the slave didn't have the courage!" ”
Chu Nian's eyes turned to Mother Zhu, and he saw Mother Zhu raise her head and plead for Qiao'er: "Yes, lady, Qiao'er, this child has been following the old slave for the past few days, and the old slave knows that this child is a kind-hearted baby, and it is impossible to do such a thing." ”
Mother Zhu has always been the most good at reading people, since Mother Zhu said so, then Qiao'er is not lying, so who is the person who lies will be immediately opinionated.
Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at Xiao Chen, and saw that Xiao Chen's body shook inexplicably, but at this time, he saw that there was a bit of playfulness in those cold eyes.
"Lotus seed soup? Madame really has a heart. ”
Xiao Chen moved his eyes uncomfortably, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "As a housewife, I should take care of Nian'er." ”
Chu Nian glanced at Xiao Chen with a smile, and turned his eyes to look at Li'er on the side, but he didn't know who he was talking to.
"Has the thief been caught?"
Mei Xiang on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The thief was discovered, so he climbed over the wall and left, and the family chased a few steps, but failed to catch up." ”
"How long ago was that?"
"Back to the lady, it happened half an hour ago, when the lady found Qiao'er and the thief, she had already led someone to arrest Qiao'er, Zhu's mother helped Qiao'er intercede, and only delayed until the lady came back, if the lady came back later, I am afraid that even Zhu's mother will not be able to see it."
With Chu Nian's support, Mei Xiang can be said to be not afraid of heaven and earth, no matter how ruthless Xiao Chen's face on the side is, she sued Xiao Chen in front of Xiao Chen.
Chu Nian's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, I was afraid that this was a game deliberately set up by Xiao Chen, and she was also curious, if she wanted to give vanilla to the Herb House faction, why didn't she send a clever one, but instead sent Qiao'er such a dull girl, now that she thinks about it, Qiao'er is just a primer used to lure Zhu's mother into the bait, Xiao Chen wants to take advantage of Zhu's mother's kindness and weakness, and simply drag Zhu's mother into the pit.
It's a pity that Xiao Chen forgot that Mei Xiang is such a girl who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Chu Nian frowned and glanced at Qiao'er, and then said, "Half an hour, I can't run far." ”
