Chapter 144: The Guardian

Jiang Quan's speed of eating is comparable to that of a turtle crawling.

The phrase "tastes like chewing wax" is interpreted by him vividly, as if he is not swallowing food that contains human fireworks, but a pile of unidentified substances used to maintain vital signs.

Murong Cao silently turned his face away, not wanting to imprint the scene in front of him into his mind, so as not to affect his appetite in the future.

Tai general, strong liking or disgust, rude pickiness or appreciation, are all emotions that contain the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, but absolute indifference, which is a non-human emotion, but almost a plant characteristic.

Jiang Quan is sick, and he is not lightly ill, not in his body, but in his heart.

Yang Muqing looked at Jiang Quan who was like a trapped beast, and his inner emotions were also very complicated, he still couldn't be like Murong Cao, who jumped out to see the analysis problem in advance, but liked to substitute and feel, but helped the people in the bureau to explain.

What's more, in Jiang Quan's body, he seems to be able to see his own shadow at a certain time in the past, an extremely sensitive teenager who is the enemy of the outside world with his own strength, but he is actually at a loss for weapons.

"Why are you tying up your brother?"

Murong Cao felt that it was easier to communicate with Xiao Apple, and, judging by common sense, there was a scene of a mentally ill person being taken care of by his family, so he would get a more accurate answer by asking his family.

"Yes, it's my brother...... Let me do it. ”

Little Apple was more like a helpless little girl at this time, showing a panicked expression that matched her actual age, and she didn't even dare to look up at Murong Cao, because Murong Cao's question contained a certain accusation, which made her nervous unconsciously, and she didn't know where to put her two hands.

"Really?"

Murong Cao's tone was melodious, and he turned to look at the haggard Jiang Quan.

"Yes."

Jiang Quan finally finished a small bowl of rice, and when he spoke, he turned around with difficulty, just staring at Murong Cao, and there was an uncontrollable mania in his tone, as if as long as the other party said one more word, he would rush up and bite the other party's throat.

The smell of danger, the eyes of a dead man, but if you look closely, you will find that there is still a glimmer of life at the bottom of this pool of stagnant water.

Murong Cao suddenly remembered an insomnia patient she had received in her early years, the depressed man who had been insomnia for many years was not as embarrassed as Jiang Quan in front of her, and at the same time, she found that there was an alarm clock at Jiang Quan's feet, which seemed to have been used many times from the mottled degree.

"You take a nap for two hours, relax, the two of us will watch over you and make sure nothing happens to you and your sister." Murong Cao said word by word: "If you don't cooperate, I will use hypnosis, and I will definitely not bluff you." We're going to run something together, and I need you to save up some energy. ”

Murong Cao said so many words at once, Jiang Quan didn't react for a long time, it seemed that Murong Cao's words were a little difficult for him to understand, he had to split them word by word, and then recombine them again, before he could understand the meaning of the words.

Just when Murong Cao was about to instruct Yang Muqing to get the pocket watch, Jiang Quan finally said a word.

"Sure?"

"Eighty percent."

Murong Cao originally wanted to say ten percent, but he felt that if he said this, this kid might not necessarily appreciate it, but might think of himself as a liar, so he temporarily changed his words.

"Humph!"

Jiang Quan snorted coldly, obviously not buying the statement "eighty percent".

Yang Muqing took out a human-shaped wooden plaque with his name written on it and gently placed it on his table.

"I've been to Heijiaotan and got this."

Then he ordered another plate of soothing incense.

"I know, this house is guarded by a Guardian."

After that, he took out the peachwood sword he carried with him, "Suixin", and put it in Jiang Quan's hand.

"We can win."

Yang Muqing's movements and speed of speech were not fast, Jiang Quan understood, held the peachwood sword tightly, lay on the table, and fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, as Murong Cao expected, Jiang Quan's state was at the end of his strength, he had been under tremendous mental pressure, almost on the verge of mental breakdown, his indifference, indifference, irritability, irritability, and obsession were all external manifestations, and I don't know how he had supported himself these days.

Murong Cao glanced at the little apple that was still not strong enough although he was precocious, with such a concern in the world, Jiang Quan had a reason to live.

The brother in Little Apple's eyes has long been unable to communicate with people normally, seeing this situation, she is very excited, things are improving, maybe soon, she and her brother can live together as before.

She excitedly held Murong Cao's hands, wanting to say something grateful, but she was afraid of waking up Jiang Quan, who was finally asleep, so she had to express it with her expression.

Fortunately, Murong Cao understood everything, she gently patted Xiao Apple's hand, and flashed the tiger teeth on both sides of her.

An Shenxiang was not only useful to Jiang Quan, but Murong Cao gradually had a strong sense of sleepiness.

After Xiang Yang Muqing cast an inquiring look and got a nod of confirmation, Murong Cao and Little Apple snuggled up to each other to see Zhou Gong.

Two hours passed quickly, and Yang Muqing snuffed out the tranquility incense in advance, and set an alarm clock to wake up the three of them on time.

For Jiang Quan, two hours of sleep could not save him from mental overdraft during this time, but his overall state looked much better than before, and his expression and eyes were a little more popular.

Murong Cao took the tea handed over by Yang Muqing, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, I received a letter from your sister, I was curious about what happened here, and I wanted to help her, so I came here, without any other special purpose, my name is Murong Cao, he is my assistant Yang Muqing."

"Hmm."

"I have a few questions I want to ask."

"Okay."

"Why are you tying yourself up?"

"I can't control myself more and more, Little Apple doesn't have enough strength, and one day she won't be able to stop me, and that day, I'll die. I can't die. ”

"Why did you add a contest that time?"

"Qingzhu brought it up, and he lost that month's competition, I thought he wasn't convinced."

"What did you throw into the pool and catch that day?"

"It's this."

Jiang Quan opened the desk drawer and took out a small golden Buddha that could be held with one hand.

Yang Muqing took the little golden Buddha and immediately felt a cold and warm breath, and the two breaths were entangled, as if they were fighting.

"Is this yours, or is it Li Qingzhu's?"

"Mine, not mine, was left by an uncle who taught me kung fu before."

"Would you like to tell us his name?"

"He didn't tell me."

Jiang Quan didn't swear by it, but Murong Cao could tell that he wasn't lying.

"Of the six people you went to compete, the other five died, you know?"

"Yes."

Jiang Quan's tone began to be gloomy again.

"Is there a black Jiao in the Black Jiao Pond?"

"Yes."

"Huh?!"

Little Apple, who heard this answer for the first time, was devastated by the fact that she had always believed that it was not really a "black Jiao" that appeared in the Black Jiao Pond, because if the Black Jiao really existed, then what the townsfolk were talking about might be the truth - their competition angered the Black Jiao.

"One last question, Mu Qing, you come to ask."

Yang Muqing thoughtfully put down the little golden Buddha, there is no doubt that there are powerful characters in the Black Jiao Pond, but it is not a real Black Jiao, it is still to be discussed.

"The formation at the bottom of the pool, did you see it when you went down to the pool that time?"

Jiang Quan's teeth bit his lips white, and after a moment, he nodded.
