Chapter 18: Weakness of mind
This yard is very old, and you can see from the many old trees in the yard.
This ginkgo tree with dense branches is deeply loved by Xu Sheng, so he originally set the master bedroom room here. It's just that in this cold winter, the ginkgo biloba is only left with bare branches.
Xu Sheng looked at it for a while, then closed the window. I just hope that the news from the carpenter's side will come sooner.
What no one expected was that when Xu Sheng was sleeping in the middle of the night, he heard the sound of a cat barking outside the window.
Xu Sheng didn't care at first, but he felt strange just listening to it. The martial arts are profound, how can you not tell that the breath of a person is under this cat's meow?
Listening with bated breath, I felt that this breath was not unfamiliar, combined with the strange appearance of the past few days. Could it be Si Kolin?
Xu Sheng moved lightly like a cheetah, groped his way out of bed, and quietly came to the window, and saw an incredible scene through a crack in the window.
Outside the window, on the bare and thick branches of the hundred-year-old ginkgo tree, a pure white boy lay prone to it.
The boy was dressed in a pure white loose undershirt, and his long hair was scattered and hung down. The cold wind of the winter night is constantly whirring, the hair is fluttering, and the pure white clothes are filled with the wind, which is really like an immortal.
The boy was lying prone on a tree trunk, his posture was light, elegant and languid.
The eyebrows are picturesque, but the eyes are closed, but the small mouth is constantly opening and closing, making a meowing cat meow sound.
Reflecting the moonlight like silver frost in the winter night, it is cold and indifferent, like a fairy like a charm.
In the dark night, Xu Sheng's golden eyes deepened, the world really had such a thing, who wanted to do it. I heard that twenty years ago, the Stygian Mountain collapsed, and the ghost spirit overflowed, and there were many strange things. But it was recovered and suppressed by General Qi at that time in time, so there was no chaos.
Now, almost 20 years later, this has happened again. Whatever it is, it's bound to be a big mess.
The young man in front of him has a skillful and elegant posture, and his whole demeanor is lazy and innocent.
It's like the white cat in the morning that has become a spirit.
Xu Sheng didn't want to go out and disturb to see how he ended up. Will the cat, who is in a cat-like posture, go back to the room, or will it just wait?
But the temperature in the winter night was already very cold, and the boy was only wearing a thin undershirt. It's only been a serious illness, and there has just been some improvement, and if you get sick again because of this matter now, it will be really troublesome.
After waiting for a while, Xu Sheng watched the young man slowly quiet down. The meow sound from the mouth gradually becomes weaker. Eventually, there was no sound. He didn't continue to move, but carved his head into the trunk of the tree, and in that position, he slept peacefully, as if he had been asleep for a long time. There was not the slightest discomfort.
Xu Sheng opened the window and came to the window to carefully check the state of the young man in front of the window. I'm afraid it's really fascinating.
With a slight and clever leap, he had already jumped out of the window, carefully picked up the sleeping boy, and landed firmly under the ginkgo tree. The sleeping boy did not react in the slightest, and rubbed like a kitten in his arms.
Xu Sheng carried the person back to the room, and saw the white cat in the corner of the room, which was originally asleep, but at this moment he felt that someone came in, so he raised his head and watched Xu Sheng come in with Si Koulin in his arms.
Xu Sheng ignored it, carried Si Koulin back to the bed, and covered the quilt.
Rather, we want to see if it's an evil thing or a man-made thing.
After the prince's grounding, Xu Yanzhuo entered the palace to see Ruan Guifei.
Ruan Guifei had already known about the prince's grounding and the queen's entry into the cold palace, and she was in a very happy mood, and she actually said a few words of praise rarely. also took out the treasures that Ruan Jiate also sent, and asked Xu Yanzhuo to send them to Qi Wenxiu. Especially those two precious Hundred Poison Invincibility Pills.
It is a miracle medicine unique to the Ruan family for a hundred years. It is the pharmacist of the Ruan family who collects the world's miracle medicines, and it takes five years to refine one. As long as you take this medicine, you will be able to resist the disaster of poisoning one day in the future.
Xu Yanzhuo came out of the palace and went directly to the outskirts of Beijing, Qi Wenxiu's small courtyard.
Let the subordinates carry the box of rare treasures inside.
Qi Wenxiu saw Xu Yanzhuo who was walking in, and the person carrying the box, so he also knew why he came this time.
It's really striking while the iron is hot.
Xu Yanzhuo asked people to put the box down, "Master Qi, this is all vulgar, but it's just a matter of expressing your heart." ”
Qi Wenxiu didn't shirk, "It's better to be respectful than to obey someone." ”
Xu Yanzhuo saw that Qi Wenxiu accepted it, and he was in a good mood, these things were all his three or four choices, and at first he was afraid that he, a scholar, would not look down on these things. "In addition, this king has come here specially to have an important matter."
"Please also ask the prince, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"That's the question of Qi Gongzi's safety." Xu Yanzhuo pondered, "The matter of the prince, he will definitely not give up." There are few people in the suburbs. "Looking at the small courtyard, there are no guards, just a few servants." It's safer to move to the palace. ”
Qi Wenxiu was a little surprised, this suspicious prince would let a person he didn't know anything move into the palace. Whether to call him conceited or to say that he is gullible.
However, he didn't just contain the Rui Wangfu, so he politely excused himself, "This grass people are free to wander around." ”
Xu Yanzhuo said, "When Mr. Qi moved here because his identity was unknown, now that you are from my Ruiwang Mansion, why should you avoid suspicion?" ”
"It's not about avoiding suspicion." Qi Wenxiu bowed and said, "Even if a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, it still wants a sky that can fly, not a golden cage." ”
Xu Yanzhuo was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Mr. is very right. This king is thirsty for talent, and he doesn't think about it well. "This person understands very well that he just wants him to enter his palace, so he is afraid that he will not be able to see through all kinds of mysteries on him.
It's a pity that he can't be fooled by fame and fortune, so what does he want?
Qi Wenxiu could naturally understand Xu Yanzhuo's thoughts in a flash, and explained, "Qi someone originally didn't want to join the WTO, but now, it's up to anyone. ”
Xu Yanzhuo naturally understands that today, he must only choose one between himself and the prince, and he has to choose between the two sides. Thinking of this, Xu Yanzhuo put his mind at ease again, "In this way, this king has one more thing." ”
"I don't know what the prince is talking about?"
"Mr. is in danger, this king is really worried." Xu Yanzhuo said, and took out a small box the size of a palm from his arms.
Carefully hand it to Qi Wenxiu.
Qi Wenxiu took the box and looked at the ornaments on it, which were exquisite and luxurious, but more importantly, the Ruan clan badge, opened it and saw that there was a thumb-sized turquoise pill lying inside. "Is it legendary?"
"That's right, it's the Ruan clan's Biyao Pill." Xu Yanzhuo said with a smile, "Please also ask Mr. to smile." ”
"It's too precious." Qi Wenxiu looked at the pill in his hand and excused himself. It seems that things are going better than expected. Not only this Rui Wangye, but even the Ruan clan.
"What's the price? It's just a first-order dead thing. Xu Yanzhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. is the king's medicine." ”
The corners of Qi Wenxiu's mouth hooked a shallow smile, this Rui Wang Ye is really as rumored, very romantic and evil, this sweet words, open belly words, actually twisted casually. "Then the grass people will no longer refuse."
After Xu Yanzhuo left, Qi Wenxiu returned to the room and stretched out his hand to beckon. Then the black shadow stopped in front of him, and the black shadow gradually thickened, and slowly became a shadowy person.
"Hurry up and send the Baguio Pill back to Duromon and develop it." Qi Wenxiu handed the box in his hand to the black shadow.
The black shadow took the box, put it in the palm of his hand, and instantly turned into nothingness, disappearing silently.
Xu Sheng stopped in front of the window, took the flying pigeon, and opened the book at the feet of the flying pigeon. The message that was sent yesterday was replied to this evening. The carpenter's mechanical flying pigeon is really worthy of its name.
The appearance of this flying pigeon is not surprising with ordinary flying pigeons, and it is lifelike. But it's really a mechanical thing, and it flies three to four times faster than usual.
According to the book, I am afraid it is hysteria. Young people are weak in self-will, have a weak heart, and some people do have psychic energy, so they are more likely to be infected and invaded by evil spirits than ordinary people. You only need to separate the source, enter more yang energy, play more, have a strong and cheerful sense of self, and don't close your thoughts. Nothing serious.
After Xu Sheng saw it, this young man was indeed a little weirder than ordinary people, and he didn't laugh and play, and he didn't need to have fun. I thought it was a bad situation and I was just introverted.
Now it seems that he is really self-contained and overthinking.
Let the subordinates take away the white cat in Si Koulin's room and arrange it to be kept in the kitchen for the time being.
Sneak out of the door of the boy who has been nesting in the room, and let him wander around the yard and bask in the sun.
It's a pity that the young man still looks like a cat, and he hasn't seen him for a long time, and when the housekeeper finds others, he is in a bush, like a kitten, turning his belly and lazily drying it.
Steward Li found someone, looked at that look, and hurriedly went to find the master. This proton is now in this strange way, something has happened, and I can't afford it.
Xu Sheng listened, but he didn't look surprised. He just put down the pen in his hand and followed the butler to a bush in the backyard.
Seeing a teenager lying on the ground as lazily as a kitten, who would have thought that such a strange thing would occur, that the restrained and silent teenager would ignore etiquette and bask in the sun with his eyes closed like a primitive animal.
Xu Sheng asked the housekeeper not to bother, thinking that he was still in his own fantasy world. Now that the cat is separated from him, I'll see if it's getting better in two days.
Si Koulin basked in the sun for a day, and was sent back to the room by the housekeeper in a daze in the evening.
At dinner together, Xu Sheng observed that the young man's cat habits had decreased somewhat. More with a hint of human smell. It seems to be useful.
When he got up the next day, Si Koulin was taken out of the room again and basked in the sun for a day. The sun in winter is not big, it is warm, and he is comfortable in the sun. It's just that the housekeeper's strangeness is broken, isn't there something wrong with this proton?
Fortunately, after three consecutive days, Si Koulin slowly returned to his original appearance.
During dinner in the evening, Xu Sheng saw that the young man's eyes were no longer confused, confused, and demonic. What I see now is Qingming jerky and restrained, although they are all silent, but this is what a person looks like.
Xu Sheng took the initiative to give him a meal.
"Thank you." Si Koulin returned, burying his head in eating. There is nothing out of the ordinary. I guess I forgot what happened the other day.
"I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow." Xu Sheng said while eating.
