Chapter 18: Just in case
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Chuning still decided to tell Mu Chumeng about the matter. After all, sooner or later, she had to know, and looking at her appearance, Master Mu shouldn't have told her the reason.
"Meng'er, we're going to a banquet in a few days, and you'll use this dance when the time comes."
"You mean I'm going to go up and perform then?"
Mu Chumeng looked at Mu Chuning in surprise, and saw Mu Chuning nodding to indicate that her idea was right, and her face was even more incredulous.
Originally, I thought that Mu Chengtian suddenly let himself practice because he found that he hadn't practiced dance for a long time, and he wanted to teach him a lesson about his laziness, but he didn't expect to perform in front of everyone.
"Meng'er, this is a cutscene at most, if you practice more, you can dance well and add glory to your father." Seeing that Mu Chumeng was already a little indignant, Mu Chumeng hurriedly said something to coax Mu Chumeng.
"Then you'll be happy to fall like this, right?"
"Of course."
Sure enough, Mu Chumeng, who was still young, could still listen to Mu Chuning's words.
Seeing that Mu Chumeng gradually calmed down, Mu Chumeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this sentence has a good effect.
"Then sister, I continued to practice." Mu Chumeng said and happily turned around to practice the movements.
Seeing this, Mu Chuning felt that it was just superfluous for her to stay here any longer, and she originally came over to tell Mu Chumeng the reason, but now that she was finished, she should leave.
Returning to Chuzhi Pavilion, Mu Chuning saw that he was idle now, so he simply went to the study to read the book and study the acupuncture method that Song Lian taught him.
"Mademoiselle needs some lunch?" Xi Zhu's voice made Mu Chuning stop.
"I don't want to eat it yet, take two plates of snacks to the study in a while, I'll eat that one when I'm hungry." Mu Chuning thought about it and felt that she didn't feel hungry yet, so she didn't want to eat lunch.
"Yes, miss." Xizhu saw that Mu Chuning was going to the study, so he didn't follow him anymore, and turned around to prepare snacks.
It was another quiet afternoon, Mu Chuning looked at the book in her hand comfortably, and picked up a piece of dim sum from time to time and ate it in small bites.
His fingers flipped through the thin paper page by page, and suddenly he turned the fingertips of the page, and his apricot eyes trembled slightly because he saw something.
His eyes stared straight at the words Miao Jiang Gu Poison on the paper, and carefully read every word in it.
The book says that there are different types of Gu poisons, which originate from a poison created by the Miao Jiang people......
As soon as Mu Chuning saw this, Mo Huai's face was painful that day, and a pity appeared in his heart.
I don't know if there is any way to get rid of the poison, Mu Chuning thought so and continued to look down.
I read all the way along the introduction of the types and sources of Gu poison, and only wrote at the end......
"Those who are poisoned by Gu will die if they are not treated, and if they want to detoxify, only the people of the Miao Jiang tribe or those who make poison can be relieved." Mu Chuning muttered softly.
I remember that Mo Huai said that day that his poison would attack once in a while, there was no law, and it could be fatal.
Then the poison on his body should be the kind that is difficult to solve, who planted such a deadly poison on him.
However, when I arrived at Nanlin Pavilion a few days ago, I saw that Mo Huai's body was fine, and he must have been like a normal person at other times, except for the poison that would make Mo Huai miserable.
But what if you happen to encounter him in the future? You can't see death without help, and you have at least learned some medical skills, so you have to come in handy.
What's more, they are still friends, and friends are supposed to help each other.
Since I don't have the ability to help Mo Huai detoxify now, there should be some ways to relieve pain, right?
Mu Chuning thought so, got up and went to find the pile of secretaries that Song Lian had given him, and turned out a book of acupuncture points atlas.
The specific location of many acupuncture points and acupuncture techniques are recorded in this book, and Mu Chuning wondered if she could find some useful methods in it.
Because Mu Chuning was devoting herself to reading books and taking notes this afternoon, the time passed quickly.
When it was time for dinner, there was a knock on the door and the sound of bamboo.
"Miss, it's time for dinner." Xizhu called.
Mu Chuning, who heard the prestige, turned her head to look out the window, and saw that the sky outside had darkened unconsciously, and she was surprised that time had passed so quickly.
"You go and prepare first, and I'll be over in a moment." Mu Chuning said towards the door and began to tidy up the things on the table.
I stacked the books I had just read, and paused when I got the notebook I had just written notes.
I picked it up and browsed it with satisfaction, looking out the window unintentionally.
Mu Chumeng is going to practice dancing at home these days, so let's go to Nanlin Pavilion tomorrow to talk to that Liyou, and by the way, find out about the poison on Mo Huai's body.
Mu Chuning thought so, lowered her head and continued to clean up the table.
The next day, Mu Chuning asked Xizhu to go to the door to keep an eye on it, and when Yun Yiheng and her parents went out, she would come back and tell her.
This time, for the sake of safety, Mu Chuning deliberately covered half of her face so that she could avoid encountering people she knew.
Finally waiting for the time to go out, Mu Chuning let Xizhu be veiled like herself, and the master and servant walked towards the South Lin Pavilion.
When he arrived at Nanlin Pavilion, Uncle Chen, who came out to open the door, almost didn't recognize it as Mu Chuning, and almost didn't let Mu Chuning in.
"Miss Mu is almost unrecognizable to you just now, so I'll give you a company." Uncle Chen said apologetically.
"It's okay, I just didn't want people to find out." Mu Chuning smiled.
Knowing that Mo Huai was sipping tea in the small pavilion again, he didn't let Uncle Chen lead the way but walked over by himself.
When I arrived at the small pavilion, I happened to see Liyou standing next to Mo Huai, and I thought that it was a coincidence that I came.
"Girl, everything is done?" Mo Huai knew that Mu Chuning was coming the moment she stepped into the Nanlin Pavilion, so he wasn't surprised.
Mu Chuning saw Mo Huai asking himself so indifferently, and couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart.
After all, he didn't go to do anything that day, but went out to play for a day, but he asked himself and answered.
"It's not a big deal, and it's done quickly." Mu Chuning said and walked to the chair opposite Mo Huai and was about to sit down, when she remembered the purpose of her coming.
"By the way, my sister has other things to do these days and can't come to class for the time being, so I'll tell Master Liyou for her."
"Just call me Liyou, I know Miss Mu." Li You said, and poured a cup of tea for Mu Chu Ning.
Mu Chuning nodded lightly before sitting on the stone bench.
"Why are you wearing a veil?" Mo Huai looked at the white yarn in Mu Chuning's hand and asked.
When asked like this, Mu Chuning remembered that she had just taken off the veil on the way to the pavilion and had not had time to put it away, so she wrapped the veil and put it in her pocket.
"It's a way to avoid meeting familiar people." Mu Chuning said truthfully.
Mo Huai couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard it, he still had to be sneaky here? I hadn't seen Mu Chuning so vigilant when I came over before, didn't it take precautions against anyone this time?
In fact, Mo Huai's guess was right, what Mu Chuning wanted to guard against the most was Yun Yiheng, who was very likely to appear at any time......
"So you're going to have to wear this veil with you when you come here in the future?"
"That's how it should be during this time."
Although he didn't really want to be so sneaky, he couldn't find out about it, at least he couldn't reveal it until he was sure whether Mu Chengtian and the Yun clan supported this matter.
And a girl's family is here alone all day long, and he is afraid that he will be gossiped about for a long time.
Mo Huai still understands this truth somewhat, so he didn't say anything, but he felt a little cute when he saw Mu Chuning being so cautious.
"By the way, may I ask you something?" Mu Chuning asked cautiously.
"Just ask." Mo Huai said as he reached out and picked up the teacup, ready to send it to his mouth.
"What I want to ask is about you...... Physical matters. ”
Mu Chuning thought about it for a while, because she felt that it was not appropriate to say this matter directly, so she said it in a different way.
Hearing this, Mo Huai paused as he handed the tea to his mouth, and his expression was slightly stunned.
Why did she ask about this all of a sudden? Mo Huai was a little puzzled.
looked up at Mu Chuning, and when he saw her unspeakable look, he guessed that she should be difficult to speak because of Xizhu and Liyou by her side.
Then he looked at Li You and motioned for him to take Xizhu away, and Li You immediately nodded knowingly.
