Chapter 14: Fighting the Snake

Xu Wanqing took off the silk scarf without a trace and handed it to Dongxia, who was standing with her head bowed on the side. Lin Lixue saw the subtle changes in her eyes, sneered at her ignorance, wrinkled her nose, and quickly ran to the dining table to find Shen Yu's traces.

Shen Yuchen caught a glimpse of her coming over again, and felt a headache, and even lost his appetite for a table of dinner. He smiled and held Lin Lixue's shoulders, glanced at the various bags piled up on the sofa, and said gently: "You've been shopping for a day, hurry back to the mansion and rest." By the way, I gave Uncle Lin the cigarette gun I picked, and said that it was a little bit of my heart. ”

The voice of the spring breeze and Mu sounded step by step, Lin Lixue thought about it for a moment, and suddenly remembered something and was about to speak. Shen Yuchen mercilessly interrupted the words she swallowed, blocking her inner thoughts, "Tomorrow, I will definitely rush to the mansion early to send you to school." Without waiting for her to react, he called an attendant in a loud voice and said, "Find Captain Li Yong and ask him to send Sister Lixue back to the mansion." It's getting dark, and I'm not at ease with others. ”

His face was handsome, slightly tired, and his smiling eyes were shining in the light, as if they contained a vein of affection. This kind of appearance is no worse than the male stars in magazines and movies, and such a man will be the destination of his life. Lin Lixue's face flushed when she thought about it, her eyes flickered in the frantic heartbeat, she quickly took the gift bag on the sofa, and ran out of the door in broken steps.

Shen Yuchen saw the figure drifting away, and only felt relieved. He walked around to the dining table, picked up the bowl of soup that Xu Wanqing had just filled and drank it in one gulp, and asked again, "What about the eldest brother?" ”

Xu Wanqing smiled and pointed upstairs. Xiyue showed her face, and hurriedly said: "Back to the second young master, the eldest young master doesn't know what is too sensitive, and his whole body is itchy and painful, and he is now taking a medicinal bath in the bathroom of the bedroom." Xu Wanqing stirred the soup with a small spoon, frowned between her eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Xiyue, this girl, has always been arrogant, good at being an example, and thoughtful, always thinking about magnifying herself in front of her master. It's just in front of her, but Shen Yuchen is definitely not something she can be delusional and rely on. She turned her head to look at Xiyue's watery eyes full of emotion, and decided to find a time to beat her properly.

"I've eaten in a Western restaurant, so I'll go and rest first, and my sister-in-law will eat slowly." Shen Yuchen twisted his sore arm and climbed the stairs. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Where's my girl?" Ask her to boil a pot of ginger water to soak my feet. ”

Xu Wanqing nodded, and sent Dongxia to find Pingyan.

In the bathroom on the east side of the second floor, a high porcelain vat is steaming with mist. Shen Dashao was sitting cross-legged in the water, closing his eyes and recuperating, faintly revealing half of his muscular bronze shoulders in the wisps of mist. Thin droplets of water stuck to his full forehead, wandering in the roots of his eyebrows, which were as thick as swords, and falling down his drooping eyelashes. His pale and cold lips were nourished and red in this moisture, but his expression was like an immobile statue, glowing with wet coldness.

Suddenly, the cold and resolute pupils of the woman in my mind seemed to expand again. He opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a gloom in his eyes. It took a long time to get angry, he slowly raised his arm from the water, and the moment the splash peeled off, the bruise on his wrist came straight into his eyes.

He has been running around in the army all the year round, and his skin is rough and thick, what kind of skill should this woman be able to easily cut through with only a thin fingernail before his keen sense of defense?

His eyes were squinted, his silhouette was grim, and his body was full of danger.

Years of vigilance had taught him that this woman was an extremely dangerous being. However, years of military deployment also told him that the more suspicious the mystery, the easier it is to deceive people's minds, surrender without a fight, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

"Big Little!" The boots stood still, and the rhythm of a knock came from outside the door.

Shen Dashao pulled the nightgown on the clothes pole, tied the strap and went straight to the sofa to sit upright, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

Li Yong stepped in neatly, fixed on the ground, bowed slightly, and said concisely: "My subordinates specially sent people to go to all parts of Lingnan where Miss Yan had been on fire for many years, but it is still the same as those found in the lockdown, and Miss Yan's past is indeed nothing to be suspicious about." He knew that Ping Yan was a smart and wise woman, but what kind of storm could a mere woman set off in this troubled world? He knew that Da Shao had always acted cautiously, but he would not do everything possible to investigate the pitiful life experience of a play, as if he was a little jealous and seemed to care too much. Li Yong caught a glimpse of Shen Dashao's increasingly depressed eyebrows, and couldn't help interrupting the conjecture in his heart.

Shen Dashao's fingers rubbed against the wall of the teacup, his heart was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but think of Li Yong's reply when he was in lockdown.

Miss Yan is an orphan, her parents are nowhere to be found, and she has been resold many times in the hands of human traffickers, and finally Liu Sanchun looked down on her and was included in the troupe.

He tensed his mind and peeled back the cocoon. Since this life experience has been confirmed by many people, naturally there will be no fake, so where does her seemingly deliberately trained skills come from? He had noticed the way she walked, her toes were lightly tapped, her heels were only touching the ground, and she walked silently, a way that only a female spy who had undergone years of special training and examinations could do.

"Da Shao, the other thing you asked me to check has an eyebrow. Vice Captain Huang's death does have something to do with the second young master, but the evidence is not clear. ”

Shen Dashou stood up, his facial features gradually became clear, and he was uncertain under the light of Huang Cheng, he asked, "She went to the forest on the outskirts of the city to collect medicine again?" ”

When the car picked them up from the train station that day, they passed by a forest not far away, Xu Wanqing had severe morning sickness, Ping Yan accidentally found the herbs that could be seen everywhere in the forest, so she picked one and let Xu Wanqing hold it in her mouth, and it really stopped vomiting in a few seconds. Since then, she has come back from picking a basket in the evening or early in the morning. The eyeliners sent back every day, and they were all trivial when they bumped into each other when collecting medicines, saving birds and fighting snakes. Thinking of today's poison, Shen Dashao was willing to believe that she definitely didn't just know a little about medical skills, but maybe she was very proficient.

It seems that a strong interest has been lured out, and deep in his heart is flooded with inexplicable excitement.

He was really interested in setting up a game to see if the sharp and cunning woman would show her fox tail.

"Disguise the people you sent to keep an eye on as bandits and robbers, and let them give that woman some bitterness." His voice flashed with light interest, picked up the military uniform on the side of the sofa and turned around to change, just twisted the handle of the bathroom door, thought about it, and said with a light smile: "By the way, send the second young master to endure hardships together, it is best to suffer some injuries that are not light or serious, or my second brother really has to rely on that belly of foreign ink, and he will be lawless in this precarious era." ”

This is only one of the reasons, there are more important reasons, whether Shen Yuchen is the murderer of the important members of the agency or not, clues related to it have also been found. In order to keep the marriage date as usual and not cause trouble, he happened to take advantage of his injury to send him to a hospital in the French Concession to avoid the limelight.

In the evening, after the light rain, the night was clear, and a few sparse stars fell on the blue sky and twinkled, and the crescent moon bent. The spring breeze brings the fragrance of the earth after the rain. In the secluded mountains and forests, Ping Yan wore an ankle-length cheongsam with a checkered face, coarse cloth shoes, and a small shovel covered in mud in her hand.

Ping Yan walked back with a light turn, but found that the three ghostly black shadows behind her had disappeared without a trace. She knew early on that Shen Dashao was sending people to monitor her all the time, and she was uncomfortable at first, but she was not surprised later. She looked around suspiciously, for a few days, these three black shadows were not far away and refused to leave until they were at the door of the villa, what happened today? Got an early finish?

She frowned and looked around, and saw that the surrounding grass and trees were quiet, and there was nothing unusual, so she was relieved. Even though she had undergone rigorous physical training, the soles of her feet were still sore after walking on the slippery and slippery roads for a long time. She stretched out her arms slightly, stepped on a flat stone, jumped left and left, and jumped again, shaking happily for a long time before she stomped off the layers of yellow mud on the soles of her shoes.

At this time, in the shadows of the trees, Shen Da Shaozheng was wearing a lacquered long windbreaker, the brim of his hat was pressed down, his black hair was straight, his cold and indifferent eyes were slightly wrinkled, and his black eyes were staring at the woman who was jumping like a frog under the bright moon and bright stars.

It's like a different person.

In her rhythmless bouncing, she seemed so casual, so unworldly, so ...... Pure cuteness.

Not far away, a handful of turquoise clusters in the cracks of the stone huddle the branches of Lei Lei red fruits, and the leaves are gently swinging. Ping Yan happened to see it, her heart moved, and she hurriedly rushed over. Looking at the rhizomes of the leaf clusters, I saw that it was a seven-grade leaf, and I was even more overjoyed. In front of me is a ginseng that is at least seven years old.

She tilted the tip of the shovel sideways, carefully digging into the soil, digging out the holes one by one. At the same time, a poisonous snake hidden in the cracks of the rocks and trees sensed the shaking of the blades of grass around it, swam up and walked slowly, hissing and spitting out the poisonous core and stopping an inch away from Ping Yan, waiting for an opportunity to launch.

Shen Yuchen ran all the way here, and saw that Ping Yan was waving the small shovel too seriously, and the poisonous snake with the thickness of a thumb was green and blue, and only the smooth scales were slightly rolled up, shining with a creepy cold light in the moonlight, confronting Ping Yan at hand. He shook his forehead, brushed his hands in cold sweat, and the wind poured through, and he quickly calmed down with this coolness, and his eyes gathered.

Now there are only two ways, either to remind Ping Yan of the danger she will face, but looking at her attentive appearance, it is obviously impossible. Besides, even if she found out in time, he was not sure that she would be able to escape with her whole body. Or he's waiting for an opportunity to kill the viper. Now it seems that this is undoubtedly the only way to go.

He came in a hurry, and did not bring a knife to defend himself, so he could only pick up a vine on the spot and hold it in his hand, silently, and slowly walked forward.

The black eyes kept staring at the snake's body for seven inches.
