012 Puppet Ants

Zhixiang got into the carriage in a daze, thinking that if it was to transport food, why should my sister go in person, but since my sister said it, she would go.

Nanxi drove the carriage, and Zhixiang sat in it to rest. Nanxi looked for clues all the way, and there were scattered blood stains on the avenue full of wheel marks, but fortunately she rushed early and walked along these blood stains, and half an hour later, she saw soldiers stationed in the direction of Qingshui Village from a distance.

These soldiers surrounded an airtight mansion that belonged to the Zhang family, and the grain and grass transported by his father during his lifetime were purchased from the Zhang family. After the land was wasted, the Zhang family sold the house for the family to live, and now the house is in the hands of the military family, but what do they want this house to do?

Transporting grain?

Now Qingshui Village has been deserted for some years, and the fertile fields have long been overgrown with grass.

Nanxi parked the carriage in front of the mansion gate and probed inside, and immediately an officer and soldier stopped him: "What is the girl doing?" ”

Nanxi smiled and said, "The little woman came to Qingshui Village to buy grain, dare to ask the military master what he is doing here?" ”

"This is a soldier's land, girl, please go back!" The soldier replied with a smug face.

Nanxi looked in again, and saw that the soldier was holding the hilt of the sword, as if the sword was about to be unsheathed, Nanxi had no choice but to give up, and continued to walk forward with the carriage, thinking, there must be a cat in this house, since you are here, you must take a clear look!

Nanxi said that he was unwell, so he and Zhixiang found an inn near the mansion to rest, and finally chose an upper room, Nanxi stood in front of the window, just in time to spy on the door of the mansion.

After simply filling her stomach, Nanxi fell asleep, and Zhixiang saw that she was asleep and fell asleep.

In the dead of night, Nanxi leaned on the windowsill and looked at the door of the mansion, Zhixiang on the side was still asleep, thinking that this sister could really sleep, so she leaned over and covered the quilt for her, only to see that Zhixiang's originally pale little face was burning with two blushes, Nanxi reached out and touched her face and forehead, it was very hot! I touched her hands and feet again, and it was cold.

Zhixiang's body has always been very weak, so it can't be compared with ordinary people, Nanxi took hot water, warmed Zhixiang's hands and feet, but couldn't warm up, I was anxious, no, I had to grab medicine to bring the heat down!

Nanxi got dressed and went out, and walked to the pharmacy, the shopkeeper was also in good spirits, and he didn't rest in the middle of the night, Nanxi grabbed the medicine and was about to leave, when a soldier rushed in!

The soldier whispered a few times in front of the shopkeeper's ear, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly followed with the medicine box, Nanxi saw the shopkeeper enter the mansion, and faintly heard a man's roar, the voice was painful and complaining, like the evil ghosts of hell were tortured and wanted to break free, and soon, one after another wails came and went, and it sounded like a group of evil ghosts struggling in pain.

For a moment, there was silence as if nothing had ever happened.

Nanxi stared at the mansion while boiling the medicine, and no one had been in or out since the shopkeeper of the pharmacy came out of there. After Nanxi poured a decoction for Zhixiang, the heat of Zhixiang gradually faded.

As soon as the day dawned, Nanxi was about to slow down, she glanced lightly, a carriage stopped at the door of the mansion, Nanxi stared at the carriage, and saw a majestic and tall figure walking down from the carriage, and looked at it, that person was Huo Mian!

Huo Mian walked into the mansion, and after a while, he left again, with his departure, the soldiers in the mansion were busy going in and out, and the last group of people pulled out of the backyard with more than a dozen cages containing prisoners, the cage was the size of a carriage, covered with dark black rags, and the bottom layer was a thick layer of blood, and I vaguely saw a bloody hand and feet with iron chains!

Another group of soldiers came out of the backyard and were ready to go, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy led a carriage last night to follow, only to see a group of people winding in the direction of Hong Station, and the mansion suddenly became empty.

Nanxi sat on the edge of the bed and thought about what she saw today, everything was so unbelievable, at this time Zhixiang moved her brows and slowly opened her eyes, Nanxi reached out and touched her forehead, the burn finally subsided, and brought a bowl of soup for Zhixiang to take.

"You burned badly yesterday, and today is finally better, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, you and I should go back."

"Sister Lao takes care of it." Zhixiang's body was still very weak, and the two simply packed up and went on the road.

Although Nanxi was puzzled, she had some superficial guesses, but guesses are guesses after all, and now Huo Mian is also involved, she is a little relieved in her heart, after all, Huo Mian is still guarding Kecheng, if something really happens, there will be Huo Mian on top.

The girls in Huaixi Building looked around, Liu Hong's phoenix eyes looked through the autumn water, she was worried about the two who had not returned overnight, and she was relieved to see Nanxi coming back with a carriage.

She stepped forward and reproached Nanxi like a sister: "Miss, where have you gone, the girls have seen that you two are gone, and it is difficult to sleep and eat for a day!" Miss doesn't say hello when she wants to leave, so that the girls can find it easily! Liu Hong's eyes were full of tears and her face was haggard.

Nanxi got out of the carriage and said, "I wanted to go to Qingshui Village to transport some grain, but I made a trip in vain."

"Why should Miss go in person, just send Xiaoju and Fleur to go."

Liu Hong thought to herself, since Huaixi Building became a medical hall, the young lady has become less and less like a young lady, and she eats and lives with the girls on weekdays, and she also rolls up her cuffs when she goes up the mountain to collect medicine, and now she has to go to transport food in person. Is this really their young lady?

"It's fine." Nanxi helped Zhixiang get out of the carriage and said, "I ordered someone to get some hot water to wash Zhixiang, and after burning all night, the sweat finally came out."

Liu Hong followed Nanxi into the house, and in order not to startle the snake, the two discussed going to visit the mage immediately.

"Miss is so tired, it's better to go again tomorrow."

"If I don't go today, I won't be able to rest."

Nanxi insisted on going, and the two set off. The mage's residence is not far from Kecheng, all the way by the mountains and rivers, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is no trace of worldly fireworks.

There was a wooden house standing in the mountains, and there was a small man squatting at the door outside the house to count the herbs, and when he saw someone coming, he asked what he meant, and when he learned that it was the old man of the master, he came in and announced it.

The little guy walked out respectfully: "You two are invited."

The mage saw that the old man came to visit and had tea to entertain, Nanxi told the 1510 that day, the mage stroked his beard, and then went to the study, signaling the two to follow, he opened a dusty ancient book, paused when he turned to a page, and said: "The history books contain poison that can make people's blood black, and it is the poison of yin, and the poisoned person will die in a few days."

"Mage, what's poison?"

"It is not documented... But. ”

"The mage has something to say."

Seeing that this mage swallowed and vomited, Nanxi immediately understood, so he took out two golden palaces from his cuffs and handed them over, the mage frowned, took it, and said: "I have heard of this poison, it is taken from the poison of puppet ants, although the poisoned person dies in a few days, but he can be extremely powerful in a few days, and he does not know the pain, if he is cast by someone with a heart, he can become a puppet at the mercy of others!" ”

Nanxi gasped after hearing this, could it be that Huo Mian was manipulating the puppet?!
