Chapter 19: Pigeons

Liyou walked to Xizhu and raised his hand to signal to leave with him, Xizhu looked at Mu Chuning hesitantly, and saw that Mu Chuning nodded, before he was willing to leave.

After Liyou took Xizhu away, Mu Chuning's face was missing the unspeakable look just now.

"My body, you mean Gu poison?"

"Yes, that's what I wanted to ask."

knew that Mo Huai could understand what he meant, Mu Chuning thought to herself.

Although he knew that Mu Chuning asked because he cared about himself, Mo Huai was a little happy in his heart, but what he wanted to say about this matter would involve his past, and he was afraid that Mu Chuning would be implicated at that time.

But seeing the expectant look on Mu Chuning's face, Mo Huai wanted to tell her everything and tell her about her life experience......

"Why do you want to know that?"

"Because I want to help you."

"How can you help me?"

In fact, Mu Chuning really wanted to tell Mo Huai that he had a great master, she knew how to heal, and maybe she could also treat the Gu poison in his body.

However, this can't be said, so she had to come by herself, but she has also studied for three years, which will still help somewhat.

"You forgot that I know a little bit about medicine, so I can help you."

Mo Huai only remembered when he heard this, and last time he saw this girl in Zhenyuan Temple taking several books on medicine.

"In that case, then I'll tell you about my illness, there is Dr. Lao Mu." Mo Huai couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

Knowing that Mo Huai's last sentence was obviously in a joking tone, Mu Chuning was not annoyed and nodded lightly, waiting for Mo Huai to tell the story.

"This poison was planted when I was nine years old, when my family was murdered, and my father and mother were killed by the thief's sword."

"And even though I was young and young, I was not killed under my mother's protection, but the man still refused to let me go."

"So he called a woman, and the woman came over and asked two men to grab me, and I wanted to implant the little worm, which is the Gu worm, into me."

"I resisted with all my might, but how could one child be lower than two strong adult men? I watched as the Gu worm implanted in my arm, slowly crawling along the crook of my arm to my heart and lungs. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Huai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he remembered that painful memory.

Even Mu Chuning, who was listening silently on the side, could feel how helpless and frightened the weak Mo Huai should have felt at that time.

"That must have hurt."

"Yes, that Gu worm penetrated directly into my heart, I passed out in pain, they probably thought I couldn't survive and threw me away in the wilderness."

"But it was because of their carelessness that my life was saved." After Mo Huai finished speaking, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

has endured such pain since he was a child, compared with Mu Chuning, who was forced by his father to learn painting since he was a child, Mu Chuning's childhood is not much happier than Mo Huai.

"Gu poison can generally only be made by Miaojiang people, so the woman who implanted Gu worms for you must be Miaojiang people."

"Perhaps, I remember the woman with a very distinctive chain."

Nine years have passed since this incident, and Mo Huai can't remember exactly what the woman looked like, but he can still vaguely remember the items that the woman was carrying at that time.

Mu Chuning probably understood that this Gu poison would enter the heart veins and swim away, but it would not immediately erode the entire heart vein, but would erode a little bit every once in a while, which was why Mo Huai was suddenly poisoned.

So what she had to do was to restrain that Gu worm and stop it from continuing to erode Mo Huai's heart.

Although there is no way to lure the Gu worms out, it is still possible to find a way to slow down the onset of toxicity.

Remembering that the pill he gave him during Mo Huai's attack last time seemed to have some relieving effect, he went back and studied it to see if there was any medicine with the same effect as taking the pill.

After all, the pill was given to him by Song Lian, Mu Chuning didn't know how to make it, and it would be too far to ask Song Lian.

"Are you thinking of a cure for my poison?" Mo Huai saw that Mu Chuning didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't help asking.

"I do have an idea, I'm not sure if it's going to work for you, I need to go back and experiment with it."

"Don't hurt yourself because of me."

Seeing the serious look on Mu Chuning's face, Mo Huai couldn't help but be a little worried that Mu Chuning would test herself first in order to help herself.

It is a medicine that is poisonous, even if it is not a medicine or any other method, Mo Huai doesn't want Mu Chuning to try the risk for himself.

"Don't worry, I'm in control." Mu Chuning smiled confidently at Mohuai.

Although Mo Huai was still a little worried, he couldn't stop Mu Chuning from thinking about it like this, so he didn't say any more.

"By the way, how did you survive?" Mu Chuning couldn't help but feel strange, since she could survive, someone must have saved Mo Huai.

"It was a good friend of my father's who came and rescued me and took me in, and he was my stepfather." Mo Huai explained.

"I see, he must treat you very well when you look like this."

The person who can buy such a courtyard must have a lot of net worth, and Mo Huai's father-in-law should treat him as his own, otherwise how could he live intact until now?

If it were replaced by some small-hearted people, they would definitely treat Mo Huai as a trouble, and it would be possible to save Mo Huai's life by himself, let Mo Huai be a cow or a horse in his house, or be violent at any time.

Hearing Mu Chuning's words, Mo Huai just smiled and said nothing, which was right to express his agreement with Mu Chuning's words.

Feeling the freshness of the breeze, Mu Chuning took a deep breath and sighed heavily, looking around at the spring scene around her.

"You're very comfortable here, too, no wonder you like to sit in this pavilion so much."

"So you remember?"

Mu Chuning was slightly stunned when she heard this, looked up at Mo Huai, and saw that he was looking at herself with some meaning.

Subconsciously put aside his face, and there was a trace of panic in his heart. In fact, Mu Chuning's original intention was just to sigh at the comfort of this small pavilion, but he didn't expect Mo Huai to suddenly come to such a sentence.

Seeing that Mu Chuning opened her eyes in a little panic, Mo Huai hooked the corners of her mouth with satisfaction.

"Because every time you come, you are in this pavilion except in the study."

"When I have nothing to do, I will sit in this pavilion."

Seeing that he had achieved satisfactory results, Mo Huai did not continue to tease Mu Chuning.

Seeing that Mo Huai put away his previous tone, Mu Chuning gradually calmed down the panic in his heart. Reaching out and picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he pressed the heart that had just been alarmed.

At this time, Li Zuo came from a distance, still holding a cage in his hand.

Walking over from Lizuo, Mu Chuning's eyes saw one staring at the cage, because inside the cage was a white dove.

"Young master, I brought you what you wanted."

"Put it aside for the time being, and take it away for Miss Mu later."

"Yes."

After Li Zuo took the cage aside, he walked up to Mu Chuning, saluted and left.

"This is for me?" Mu Chuning was a little puzzled, so she pointed to the cage containing the white pigeon, and then pointed to herself.

"Exactly. With this white dove, it will be much easier for us to connect with each other. ”

Mo Huai did this because he saw Xizhu coming over to send a message to Mu Chuning that day, thinking that it would be too troublesome to pass on such a hard time, so he came up with such a plan.

With this white pigeon, they can directly write down what they want to say to each other in the future and let the pigeon send it over, so that they don't need to communicate through others and get in touch unimpeded.

"This white dove can fly to you from my house?"

"Yes."

"It turns out that this is what the book calls a carrier pigeon."

Mu Chuning walked to the front of the cage curiously and looked carefully at the white-colored pigeons inside.

Looking at the white dove that twisted its neck from time to time, Mu Chuning suddenly wanted to reach out and tease it.

But because of the obstruction of this cage, Mu Chuning still held back the thoughts in her heart, turned around and sat back in her seat.

Mo Huai, who watched Mu Chuning's every move throughout the whole process, his eyes were full of tenderness.

It was estimated that it was almost time to go back, and when Mu Chuning summoned Xizhu, Xizhu was also full of surprise when he saw the pigeon.

It's just that seeing that it is in someone else's house now, Xizhu didn't ask immediately, but silently guessed in his heart that this should be something that Mo Gongzi gave to Miss.

After saying goodbye to Mo Huai, Mu Chuning asked Xi Zhu to carefully hold the cage and left the South Lin Pavilion.

On the way back, the master and servant brought back their previous veils and walked briskly.

"Miss, what should I say when this pigeon is seen by the old lady?" Xizhu looked at the cage in his hand and asked worriedly.

Let Mu Chengtian and Yun see the pigeon that appeared for no reason, there must be an explanation.

"Let's just say that this pigeon was injured and happened to fall into our yard to pick it up and raise it." Mu Chuning thought for a while and said.

Anyway, as long as they don't find themselves using this word to convey messages, they won't suspect anything.
