"My wife and children are gone. That's why I've been hit and I'm hiding in your cellar. At first, I refused to sell the ancient recipe to you, but then ......" He interrupted me, took a deep breath, and continued, "Later, my wife had a difficult birth and needed money urgently, so I agreed to sell you the ancient recipe." But I didn't keep them. And from the beginning to the end, you and I have only been in a master-employment relationship. ”

Hearing his words, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief and let go of his hand, it turned out that I really thought too much. It's just that he's so pitiful!

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention your wife and children, I won't ask you anything more in the future, I promise!" I looked at his back with some guilt and apologized.

But he clenched his fists with both hands, and without saying anything, he went out into the darkness.

I looked at the darkness for a while, trying to persuade him, but for a while I didn't know how to persuade him, so I sighed deeply, said goodbye to him, and climbed up the ladder at the entrance to the cellar. Fortunately, the wound was coated with purple snail liquid, so I didn't feel pain, and it didn't take much effort to go up.

When I came up, I closed the cellar door and walked out of the firewood room.

When I got to the backyard door, I heard a "knock" from the cellar again, a continuous and strong sound, not like he was trying to call me over, but like he was venting some kind of suppressed emotion. When I heard this, I only looked at the firewood room sympathetically, and secretly made up my mind that I must find a way to get him out of the haze and out of the cellar!

The purple snail liquid is very effective, after applying it, I went back to the room to sleep, and when I woke up, the wound that had just scabbed over had actually fallen off the scab shell, leaving only a shallow scar, and it looked like it was still recovering, and it was estimated that after a while, the scar was gone. I can't help but feel a little more grateful to Ruan Qing.

Because the wound recovered well, I got up and went to the shower room to take a bath and change into clean clothes. Then I went to the kitchen to fry two side dishes, stuffed the rice, and sent them to Ruan Qing. But I knocked on the door of his cellar for a long time and didn't get a response, so I thought about opening the cellar door, walked down with the food, and took the initiative to find him, "Mr. Ruan, where are you?" ”

When I came down, I took a few steps into the darkness of the cellar, but I felt that I had stepped on a lot of burp stones under my feet, and I was afraid of spilling the food I was holding in my hand, so I stopped my pace and shouted twice into the darkness.

Again, there was no response from him, but I heard the slightest sound of chains tugging, and I knew that he was hiding in the dark, and that he would not come out to me. I guess it was I who mentioned his dead wife and children earlier, which made him sad and angry with me.

I felt very guilty when I thought about it, so I walked to the light, put the tray with the food on the ground, and apologized to him again, "Mr. Ruan, I shouldn't have mentioned those things that made you unhappy before, but there are some things I want to advise you, if your wife loves you very much, she must be very sad and upset to see you like this!" When people live, they must always look forward, not live in the past. ”

I said this for a long time, but there was still no response from his side, so I had to sigh, "Forget it, you don't want to pay attention to me, and I won't bother you anymore." Just, remember to eat these meals while they're hot. ”

At the end of the sentence, I was about to hold the ladder and go up, but Ruan Qing suddenly walked to the bright light, and then when I was surprised, he closed the cellar door at once, and in an instant the surrounding area was pitch black, and I was startled!

What is he going to do?

"Zhao Xuyun is back! If you go out now, you will definitely be discovered by him. Even though I didn't ask any questions in my mind, he quickly answered my words.

"Xuyun is back? So what to do? "I panicked.

"Come with me first." As I spoke, he seemed to pick up the tray I had just put down, because I heard the sound of chopsticks touching the bowl.

Just as I was panicking, he took my arm with his other hand and led me towards the darkness.

And I staggered a few steps after him, and above the cellar door, I heard Xuyun's footsteps, and his voice calling out to me anxiously, "Xiaohe? Xiaohe, are you at home? ”

Never before, like now, made me hear the voice of Asahi Yun, and I was so frightened that I almost couldn't breathe. The pace of his feet also subconsciously accelerated.

Ruan Qing's steps were extremely fast, and I was dragged by him several times and hit him on the back, but he didn't say anything, but his pace gradually slowed down.

"Little lotus?" At this time, Xuyun's voice was getting closer and closer, as if he had come to the top of the cellar.

Ruan Qing then stopped, pulled me to sit down on a cold stone-like object, and handed the tray to me, "Don't make a sound for a while, no matter what you hear or what you see." ”

"Hmm." I knew he was afraid that I would be discovered by Xuyun, so he reminded me to do so.

When he heard this, he did not know where he got something like cloth, and covered me tightly from head to toe. I instantly smelled a familiar fragrance, which made my heart chuckle, isn't this the smell of Zhu Xun and Zhu Qian? Why does Ruan Qing also have this smell on the things I covered? What's going on?

"Little lotus!"

Just when I was wondering, with a "clang", the sound of the cellar door being opened, and the voice of Xuyun calling out to me was clearly transmitted from above to inside.

When Ruan Qing heard this, he seemed to move, because I heard the sound of chains on his feet mopping the floor.

"Ruan Qing, you come over to me!" Then Xu Yun's voice suddenly changed from anxious to cold, just because he shouted his name, not my name, but Ruan Qing.

When Ruan Qing heard this, he walked over there, and his footsteps were not happy.

But when I heard Xu Yun shouting Ruan Qing like this, he must have known that he was in the cellar, so when he hurried back from the fire sacrifice site before, he must have seen Ruan Qing not going out in the cellar. No wonder he didn't act out of the ordinary when he saw me. Otherwise, Ruan Qing was not in the cellar, and his Hundred Gu Liquor for treating head diseases was gone, and he would definitely be restless.

I was a little uneasy just listening to his voice and not seeing others, so I pulled down the fabric that covered me a little, showed my eyes, and looked over there.

I saw that after opening the cellar door, the light shone in again, and Ruan Qing's tall and slightly thin back gradually walked towards the light. And because I was far away, I was leaning against the cellar door, so I couldn't see the clouds above, but only his shadow on the wall on the side of the cellar. Judging by the shadow, he seemed to be standing above the cellar.

When Ruan Qing walked over, I suddenly saw Xu Yun's shadow shrink suddenly, and then a few black centipedes the size of chopsticks fell from the top of the cellar and fell straight on Ruan Qing's body!

When I saw this, I was so frightened that I was about to scream, but then I quickly covered my mouth with my hand and swallowed the scream back into my stomach. But the doubts in my heart can't be dispelled. Were those big centipedes raised by Xuyun? Why did he throw the centipede on Ruan Qing's body? Centipedes are poisonous, not to mention that if they are so big, the toxins are even stronger! Will Ruan Qing be okay?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly opened the eyes that I had closed in fright just now, looked at Ruan Qing again, and found that Ruan Qing was drilled by those centipedes, clenched his fists with both hands, tilted his head, frowned his gray and white thick eyebrows, and angrily slashed at Xuyun above.

"Say, where did Xiaohe go? Did your supporters or fox friends rob her again? Xu Yun mentioned me, and his voice couldn't hide his anxiety.

Ruan Qing still didn't open his mouth to respond to him, only silently endured the pain of the centipede scurrying on him. In fact, I could see that Ruan Qing could solve these centipedes, but he clenched his fists with both hands and did not try to drive away the centipedes, or get rid of the centipedes.

"You still haven't spoken?" Xu Yun was obviously annoyed, "Do you know that those people who are looking for you are all ruthless, just to get your whereabouts, and they will do whatever it takes!" Xiaohe was robbed by your old friend Zhu Qian before, stabbed with a dagger, and almost bitten with a silver krait snake Gu! If she is taken away by your people again, the consequences will be unimaginable. So, you have to tell me, did she go out on her own, or was she kidnapped by your people? ”
