Chapter 10: The Poison Family
What an alert girl! Shang Mu praised in his heart, no wonder the doctor wanted to separate the medicine in the food and on the cup. It's just that what puzzled him was that a teenage girl had experienced something to be so alert.
"Judging by this girl's behavior, she shouldn't be from an ordinary family." Mrs. Shang asked.
"Regardless of her origin, she's just a little girl." The old doctor sighed.
"Senior doctor, won't you be blamed when she wakes up?" Shang Mu asked.
The doctor shook his head and smiled: "No, otherwise she wouldn't have slept so easily." ”
Shang Mu looked at Murong Shuxiang, no matter how he looked at it, she was an ordinary little girl, but he just felt that she was different from ordinary women.
Murong Shuxiang slept for two hours, although she had the calming powder of the elderly, she didn't sleep peacefully, and she kept frowning. Shang Mu had been paying attention to Murong Shuxiang, he was very curious about what happened to such a little girl, even the tranquilizer powder couldn't let her sleep peacefully.
When Murong Shuxiang woke up, the carriage had stopped, and she was the only one in the car, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw the caravan people sitting in groups under the trees to rest their feet and eat dry food. When I got out of the carriage, I saw the old doctor sitting under a tree, checking the pulse of the caravan, and many people lined up, and they seemed a little excited.
Murong Shuxiang didn't bother, but walked around the carriage twice to stretch his muscles.
"The girl is awake." It's a question, but it's the tone of a statement.
Murong Shuxiang turned around and saw Shang Mu standing behind him, although his face was pale, it was much better than when he first arrived at the inn. "Wake up." Murong Shuxiang also replied to him in the same tone.
Shang Mu didn't say anything more, and crossed Murong Shuxiang and returned to the carriage. Murong Shuxiang walked towards the old doctor and helped the old doctor to help. After the lunch break, the caravan began to prepare to leave, and there was no one waiting for the old doctor here, Murong Shuxiang packed up his things and said, "Grandpa, I want to learn martial arts." "She hated being followed, she hated being pointed to her neck with a sword, she hated being silently behind her.
The old doctor looked at Murong Shuxiang carefully, looked around her twice, and then said with a smile: "Okay, when you come back from Tianyin City, grandpa will take you to a place, where there are martial arts cheats suitable for you!" ”
"Do you still want to apprentice?" Apprenticing is not a bad thing, but she Murong Shuxiang is not a good person, and she doesn't want that ethereal good reputation to drag herself down, let alone act chivalrous. Therefore, if you are apprenticed, I am afraid that you will "insult the teacher", or even be cleaned up. Even if it doesn't last for a hundred years, it can't be left for 10,000 years!
The old doctor restrained his smile, pondered for a moment and said, "If he is willing to give it away, then there is no need to apprentice." ”
Give? How much friendship does it take to give away cheats? Murong Shuxiang lowered his head in contemplation, weighing whether to refuse or accept.
"That cheats book is not something that ordinary people can practice, if you can practice, it is fate to give it to you." The elder doctor saw Murong Shuxiang's thoughts and said with relief.
"Good!" Murong Shuxiang is not a hypocritical person, so he readily agreed.
Maybe it was a good rest, and Murong Shuxiang was in a much better mood when he boarded the carriage again. The caravan must hurry up its journey, or it will miss the accommodation. There were refreshments on the small table of the carriage, and Murong Shuxiang suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Miss Murong hasn't had lunch yet, this is a special snack made by our merchant, you might as well try it." Shang Mu said.
"I'm really hungry, so you're welcome." Murong Shuxiang said as he ate his heart.
Murong Shuxiang has an indifferent personality, and Shang Mu doesn't like to talk, only Mrs. Shang and the doctor chatted about the news events that happened in Donglin. Murong Shuxiang listened carefully like listening to a story, and got the news he wanted to hear from it, Shang Mu would occasionally interject, and there were not many words.
The caravan traveled quickly, the carriage was bumpy, and Murong Shuxiang felt that the refreshments he ate were about to be vomited. It was close to evening, and the caravan arrived at the county seat, slowing down. Murong Shuxiang was finally able to come out to breathe, and as soon as he opened the curtain of the carriage, he saw an ancient city.
Ji County. As the caravan gradually approached the city gate, Murong Shuxiang saw the name of the city on the city gate clearly, although it was a county seat, but as Murong Shuxiang who had not seen the ancient city, it was really an eye-opener.
After entering the city, it is accommodation, and the inns in the city are full, and some of the remaining two rooms cannot accommodate a caravan.
"High price!" Mrs. Shang made a quick decision, chose a good inn, paid a high price, and asked the shopkeeper to invite some guests away to make room for them. When everything is arranged, it will be dark on the day.
After dinner, except for the night patrol, the caravan personnel who had been tired all day were asleep. Murong Shuxiang felt that the room was stuffy, so she simply came out to breathe. There is a small garden at the back of the inn, which is green with flowers and herbs, and the well-designed ones are refreshing.
Murong Shuxiang walked in the garden, walked very slowly and finally stopped, "Does Shang Gongzi also like this night scene?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a noble son who had just recovered from a serious illness jumped on the tree in front of him, it was Shang Mu.
"How does the girl know I'm here?" Shang Mu was not angry, but was surprised.
"It smells of medicine." Shang Mu was drinking the herbs that the doctor had prepared for him, and it was inevitable that there would be a smell of medicine on his body. It's just that the smell of this medicine has been pressed very lightly with spices, and it was actually smelled.
"Girl's good skills!" Shang Mu said and approached Murong Shuxiang, stopped in front of Murong Shuxiang and whispered, "Something may happen tonight, don't be afraid, girl." ”
Murong Shuxiang looked up at Shang Mu, Shang Mu was looking down at her, the fifteen-year-old figure was not tall, but it gave people a very safe feeling, "Childe has won the award!" Murong Shuxiang lowered his head and whispered, "When I came out, I passed by the kitchen and smelled a drug. ”
"The girl already noticed?" Shang Mu was very surprised by Murong Shuxiang's calmness, "I found that the night watchman was sleeping, and he couldn't wake up." ”
"Don't you merchants have a fixed place to rest and an inn to stay in?"
"Originally, there were, but because I was ill, the caravan took a shortcut, but I didn't expect it to be a black shop."
"Black shop...... Murong Shuxiang pondered for a moment and exclaimed, "Go and protect Mrs. Shang!" ”
Before the two of them could leave, five or six men descended from heaven and surrounded them. Neat attire, the same black clothes, and well-trained, "Who did you merchants offend, and you were so ruthless!" Murong Shuxiang stared at the person in front of him, his words were relaxed, and his eyes were cold.
Shang Mu stood in front of Murong Shuxiang, drew his long sword, his expression was grim, and he was wary of the movements of several people.
"Retreat under the tree behind you." Murong Shuxiang whispered: "Quick! ”
Shang Mu didn't know what Murong Shuxiang meant, so he hesitated and quickly retreated. While Shang Mu retreated, the man in black also raised his knife and rushed forward.
