Chapter 56: Civil Strife
Although the black bamboo tree is called the black bamboo tree, it does not have much to do with bamboo in terms of appearance and form. And the most peculiar thing about it is the state of growth.
Ordinary trees are born on the ground and grow upwards. The black bamboo tree, on the other hand, grows at the top of the cave and grows downward. Moreover, its various parts do not resemble trees, but resemble tree roots growing downward.
On it, there are a lot of yellow fruits, which may be called black bamboo fruits.
Mrs. Wei had a lot of unwillingness on her face at the moment, and when she saw Fang Huo coming, she smiled very strangely, "Yo, Fang Huo, you are finally here." Now, your father and your brother are seriously injured and difficult to treat, which is exactly what you want. In this way, no one will take the position of the city lord from you. ”
Fang Huo didn't answer positively, but glanced at the fruit on the ground, "Little lady, at such a critical moment, why did you come to pick black bamboo fruits?"
Mrs. Wei's expression looked a little desolate, "Why? Why do you say it? Your father and your brother were seriously injured and poisoned at the same time. How could I bear to see the two of them like this? Thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the Black Bamboo Fruit King. If they can find the king of black bamboo fruits, the two of them will definitely be able to come back to life. ”
Fang Huo said, "Little Niang, the King of Wuzhu Fruit is just a legend, and we people in Wuzhu City don't know if it's true or not." The key is that if the legend is true, then these thousands of years of black bamboo fruit trees will also die with the picking of the fruit king. You don't know the importance of the black bamboo tree to Fangzhu City. If the black bamboo tree really dies, then this bamboo city will really disappear soon. ”
Mrs. Wei sneered, "Fang Huo, then let me ask you, is the lives of your father and your brother important, or is this black bamboo tree important?" ”
Fang Huo said, "Little lady, don't use such thoughts to speculate on me. I certainly don't want them to die. I stopped you because I had already asked the doctors, and their injuries could be treated, and the chances of actually dying were slim. ”
Mrs. Wei spat out, "Phew, you just want them to die! Otherwise, you should have come like me to find the Fruit King!"
Fang Huo's expression became extremely serious, "Little lady, please pay attention to the proportions of your speech." In fact, you just asked me which is more important than the lives of my father and my younger brother, or the black bamboo tree. I didn't want to say that. However, since you have to force me, I will also ask you a rhetorical question. Which is more important, the lives of the two of them, or the thousands of years of accumulation and subsequent survival of this Fang Bamboo City?"
Mrs. Wei's brows furrowed. Soon, she laughed, "Then I'm going to pick the fruit today, what can you do to me?
After speaking, as soon as she raised her hand, she actually picked another fruit and threw it directly to her feet.
When he raised his hand, the bone soul was in the sea of Ding Qin's knowledge, and he let out a "huh".
Ding Qin knew that the bone soul must have made a discovery, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Bone Soul said, "It's really weird. is actually a descendant of the Five Poisons Island. ”
"The descendants of the Five Poison Islands?is it the person who scattered the Chen family with the Three Fragrances?Does it have anything to do with Chen Zhi who was in the Longkou Oasis and the Lone Star Cave before?"
Bone Soul shook his head, "No, it doesn't matter. It's another line. I don't know if you have seen it, but there is a red jade bracelet on her hand. ”
Ding Qin's gaze moved to Mrs. Wei's right hand that had been raised earlier, but her wrist was now blocked by her clothes.
Bone Soul said, "It's okay, you can pay attention to it later." In fact, this red jade bracelet is the Five Poison Island Wei family. The Wei family's unique poison is called a branch of red apricot. And corresponding to this name, the real heirs of the Wei family are all women, and they are very coquettish. ”
"The garden is full of spring and can't be closed, and a red apricot comes out of the wall. Ding Qin couldn't help but read silently. After knowing this, looking at this Mrs. Wei again, she is indeed a gesture, a smile, and a little spring garden can't be closed.
Fang Huo couldn't help but worry about how to stop the scene in front of him. Indeed, although he is now temporarily managing Fang Zhucheng, Mrs. Wei's rank is above her. If she insists on picking fruits like this, she can only persuade herself, and it is not good for people to really control her. Otherwise, once it spreads, even if he is a logical person to take over the position of manager of Fang Zhucheng, it will be easy for people to leave a handle.
Mrs. Wei saw that Fang Huo was silent, and sneered, "What's the matter?
As he spoke, he picked another fruit and smashed it on the ground.
Fang Huo frowned, raised his right hand, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say, "It's not good, it's not good! The city lord and the second son, all, all, are gone!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback. In particular, Fang Huo immediately turned around and asked the man, "How is it possible?
The man said, "Two-two-two-two son, doctor, doctor is not good, it seems that someone has poisoned him!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
Mrs. Wei screamed first, and ran out directly. Fang Huo immediately said in a deep voice, "Let's go, take us to have a look." ”
Ding Qin glanced at Feng Lei. Feng Lei obviously didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Ding Qin felt strange in his heart, hesitated, and still followed.
With the house fire turned around and walked a long way, to a relatively closed and independent area. There are a lot of cubicles here, and they are full of sick wounded people. It seems that in Fangzhucheng, these people also need to be treated intensively.
Seeing Mrs. Wei and Fang Huo coming, someone immediately stepped forward and led them to a room in the farthest distance. Ding Qin recognized that person was going to treat the wounded of his men. The man also recognized Ding Qin, so he didn't stop it.
This room is bigger than the others. In the room, there are two beds side by side, and there are supporting daily necessities next to the bed. The old city lord and Fang Shui were lying on two beds, and there were two people standing next to the bed with their heads bowed.
On the other side of the room, there was a doctor-like man, lying on the ground reclining without moving.
Fang Huo was about to step forward to check, but Mrs. Wei was one step ahead, and went directly to hug the old city lord, "Oh my God, you two have no conscience, why did you just leave me like this." As soon as you leave, how can I stay here......"
Fang Huo's brows furrowed. He turned to the person next to him, "What the hell is going on?"
The man said, "Before that, Doctor Jiang had been here to help the city lord and the second prince heal their injuries. We were afraid to disturb them, and very few people came in. I also found out that there was a situation after I first arrived. As a result, Dr. Chiang was already dead. Looking at the city lord and the second son, they have already ......"
"What about the two of them?" Fang asked, looking at the two people beside the bed.
"They were all the ones I let in when I went to call you. The person who reported the fire also lowered his head now, as if he was afraid that the fire would blame him.
"Has anyone ever been here?" Fang Huo first asked, and then felt that this person might not know, so he immediately turned to the other side, "Uncle Shen, have any suspicious people come to the medical area?"
That Uncle Shen was the one who was waiting here just now to greet them. It seems that he should be the head of this medical district.
"Eldest Prince, I haven't found any suspicious people coming. After discovering this situation, we have already investigated. Uncle Shen sighed and shook his head there.
"Is the cause of death confirmed?" Fang Huo asked as if he was forcibly suppressing the anger and grief in his heart.
"They all have a special poison. But how the poison is given and attacked, I don't see. I don't know what kind of poison it is. "Uncle Shen seemed very unconfident when he said this, after all, he should be the more authoritative person here.
Fang Huo clenched his fist vigorously, and there was a "click" sound.
Mrs. Wei left the city lord at this time, and mocked Uncle Shen and said, "Why not! Look at the people standing here? Those two people, who have seen them before? As soon as they came, the people from Mumei came, and the city lord and my son died, have you checked them?"
When this woman said this, Ding Qin was stunned. Well, it's up to me again. In retrospect, this was a bit similar to what happened to me at the Longkou Oasis.
"Little lady, if it weren't for them, our Fangzhu City would already be in danger. Fang Huo said very frankly, "Moreover, they have no grievances with us, and they have no reason to harm our father and younger brother." ”
Mrs. Wei was coquettish, "How do you know if you don't? I can see it, maybe they are foreign aid you invited." Take the opportunity of the battle of Mumei, kill your father and younger brother, hello you are in charge of this bamboo city alone! Fang Huo, in vain I have always helped you say good things in front of your father for so long, who knows that your heart is so vicious!"
Fang Huo's face sank when he heard her say this, "Little mother, I saw my father's face, and called you a little mother." However, don't forget, you're only a second room at all times, and you're not qualified to dictate to me, the eldest son. I have a clear conscience about my relatives and Fangzhucheng. If you put a hat on my head like this, don't blame me for the rules of the city. ”
Mrs. Wei exclaimed, "You dare!" but soon, she turned her head to the side, "What are you going to do?"
She was referring to Ding Qin.
Ding Qin had already walked up to Dr. Jiang's corpse at this time and slowly squatted down. He ignored Mrs. Wei's words and reached out to open Dr. Jiang's mouth.
He does this because of the meaning of the bone soul.
According to the bone soul, it is very likely that this is the ghost of Mrs. Wei.
Ding Qin actually has the intention of finding out the truth. Like Mrs. Wei, she can't bear to put her hat on her head at every turn!
"You are an outsider, why do you want to move the people of my Fang Zhucheng!" Mrs. Wei's words were even sharper, and she wanted to come over to stop her as she spoke.
Fang Huo stretched out his arm and directly blocked her, "Little lady, I suggest that Ding Qin take a look according to his own ideas." Maybe he'll find something. ”
