After boiling the medicinal juice, the firecrackers carried the soup bowl into the dilapidated house.

"You two help Madame up......"

She commanded the two maids standing at the head of the bed.

"Okay."

Pear Blossom and Ruyu lifted the second lady Qi who was still unconscious, and was dragged by Pear Blossom behind her back.

Ruyu was in charge of lifting her head.

The firecracker broke Qi's tightly closed mouth and carefully fed the medicine little by little until there was no drop left.

"Don't let her lie down yet, straighten her body, I'm afraid she'll vomit the medicine out in a while."

This is what I have worked so hard to get back, and I can't let you waste it like this.

After a while, seeing that the second lady did not react, the three slowly put her back on the bed.

"Whew, it's fed!" Firecrackers finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Can this poison really be cured?"

Rika stood aside, her heart palpitating.

"What? Did you go all the way to pick dog's tail grass? ”

Firecracker turned around and asked unhappily.

"It's not..... I didn't mean it that way! ”

Pear Blossom looked at the firecrackers and her face was slightly stunned, showing that she was a little angry, and quickly explained:

"I mean, Madame was so sick before, we have long lost any hope, and now you say that this herb can save Madame,

I'm still a little incredulous......"

"Firecrackers, don't blame Pear Blossom, she doesn't know much about this matter from beginning to end, a few days ago, Mrs.'s condition deteriorated, and she was already ready to go to the funeral for Mrs.

Now that Madame is saved, her heart is naturally full of joy and gratitude! ”

Ruyu took the medicine bowl from the firecracker and said a few words for the pear flower.

"It's not that you don't know her, seven sentences and six sentences can choke people half to death, she just doesn't feel at ease."

"If you don't worry, next time there is such a thing, I will let you go out to find an antidote!"

Firecrackers ran around for a day, and I really didn't have the heart to quarrel with Pear Blossom anymore, I glanced at Pear Blossom who was stunned in place, and Firecracker walked out of the house: "I'll go to the yard for a while!" ”

"Oh......"

Ruyu nodded, turned around and glanced at the somewhat cramped pear blossom comfortingly, signaling that she didn't have to take the words of the firecracker to heart.

Rika sighed slightly, and sat down on the shabby chair in front of the second lady's bed, her eyes empty and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Tang Jue said that it can be detoxified in three days, and it stands to reason that if you take medicine today, it should be effective tomorrow."

The firecracker squatted in front of the Bodhisattva statue, picked up a wooden stick casually, and randomly gestured on the ground.

Before going up the mountain, the old lady told her to be vigilant tonight, is it possible, she knows what accident will happen tonight?

"There are only two possibilities, the eldest lady will send someone to the mountain to assassinate, and if they didn't do it before, they wanted to let the second lady fend for herself and slowly torture to death.

Now that I'm back with the antidote, the eldest lady will definitely not let us go again! ”

"The second?" Firecracker turned his head thoughtfully and looked around, that is, someone would destroy the antidote, or secretly kill him again.

The last time she went out of the house, she was almost caught by the third lady and Aunt Xin, so she suspected that someone among the two people, Pear Blossom and Ruyu, must have told the secret.

It's just that the person who told the whistleblower didn't seem to tell the eldest lady everything, and still kept some of it, so the search that night was a little lax.

And the third lady accidentally let her go, so that she could escape.

It's just that this person, to what extent she betrayed it, she still had no choice, just now she refused the request of the two to decoct medicine for her,

is afraid that the antidote will be replaced, on the way back from Kun Jiang, she has always been the most suspicious of Ruyu, because Pear Blossom is grateful to the second lady,

doesn't have the brain to do the tricks, and the whole thing, she negotiates with Ruyu the most, so the more suspicious she is.

When she asked if she had tested the ointment sent by the third lady, she also listened to what Ruyu said, but the incident happened suddenly, and the eldest lady was scheming.

That's why I ignored the possibility of being betrayed by the inner ghost.

However, today she came to the abandoned temple and observed the actions of the two, only to suddenly realize that Pear Blossom actually has a motive to inform.

But she is not targeting the second lady, but her! Rika doesn't trust her, and she doesn't want to trust her! But I'm afraid that the treatment of the second husband and son will be delayed,

So in the matter of betraying her out of the house, he didn't tell the truth completely.

It's just that there is no substantive evidence for these, so now Lihua and Ruyu, she can't believe anyone.

If the eldest lady really sends someone to kill people tonight, it will be an opportunity to test the truth.

"I'll go for a walk!" Drop by and go down the hill to get the food.

The firecracker said to Ruyu, who was boiling hot water.

"Okay, be careful, the mountain road is difficult to walk."

"Got it!"

Firecracker waved his hand, a little upset.

If Ruyu is really an inner ghost, why should she resolutely follow the mountain? The second lady was sent up the mountain, and her task was completed.

You can stay out of the way, you don't have to suffer, and you may be cut off.

"Tut-tut, I really don't understand the minds of these people!" The firecrackers stretched their waists and walked towards the mountain behind the temple.

It was getting dark, and after a long time, but the firecrackers didn't come back, Ruyu suddenly became a little anxious,

I ran out of the temple and looked around, but I didn't see anyone.

"The firecrackers have been out for so long, will it be fine?"

Ruyu quietly walked into the back room and said to Pear Blossom, who was still in a daze against the wall.

"She's so smart, what could happen?"

Rika replied sullenly.

"Alas! I'll go halfway up the mountain and see, you're taking care of Madame. ”

Ruyu closed the door, added some firewood to the door of the backyard, picked up the lantern and walked outside the temple.

Not long after Ruyu walked here, Pear Blossom, who was napping in the house, heard a loud noise outside the house.

Frightened, she hurriedly got up and ran out to check, it turned out to be the candlestick on the Buddha desk fell to the ground, turned around, but saw a black shadow flashing through the back door.

"Who? Who's out there? ”

Rika chased the black shadow out of the backyard.

When she came to the outside of the temple, she saw many footprints on the ground made of gray powder, winding straight towards the trees.

She cautiously followed the ash powder on the ground, and unconsciously walked a long way out.

After some tossing, only in a patch of weeds, I found a black coat, and I didn't see half a figure.

Rika took the coat and returned to the temple in confusion, pushed open the door but was dumbfounded, the second lady who was still lying on the bed and fell asleep just now was gone!

"Ahhh Madam? Madam? Pear Blossom stared at her big eyes, rummaging inside and outside the temple for her wife.

Unfortunately, nothing was found, and half an hour later, Ruyu hurried back from outside: "I found a shoe with firecrackers on the side of the cliff......"

She was holding a shoe in her hand, and her face was covered with dirt and tears.

"What? Firecrackers, firecrackers falling off a cliff? Rika's eyes widened.

"I don't know..... I just saw her shoes halfway up the mountain. ”

"Madame, Madame is gone! What to do? What should I do? ”

"Madame is gone?" When Ruyu heard this, she hurriedly ran to the hut, but found that the bed was empty.

"What's going on?"

"I saw a dark shadow just now, so I followed it out, followed the footprints for a long distance, and when I came back, I found that the lady lying on the bed was gone!"

After Pear Blossom finished speaking, she covered her face and squatted on the ground and cried: "The firecracker is dead, and the lady is gone, was it hurt by the thief?"

Woo woo woo we are all trapped in the mountains, why don't they let us go? ”

"No.... No..... Why do you want to harm us? Who wants to harm us? ”

"Naturally, it's the eldest lady!"

"Big lady?"

“....... Pear? How do you know? Ruyu asked in a trembling voice.

"Big ...... The eldest lady once sent Aunt Xin to find me...... Ask me about the whereabouts of the firecrackers......"

Rika replied with a whimper.

"And you said?" Ruyu glared at her in shock.

"They said that if I didn't talk about it, they would immediately drive the second lady out of the house, and they would cut us off water and food!

I have no choice, so I said that Firecrackers wanted to go out of the city a few days ago under the pretext of finding someone to treat the second lady, and I had planned to leave the house early that morning.

But I didn't believe her at all, and I thought she must have wanted to seek freedom with her possessions.

She loves to climb walls, and she will find a low wall to escape, and when they search for it at dawn, they will be caught! ”

"You...... How can you betray us? ”

He stammered like a jade.

"I ...... I knew I was wrong, I ......"

"What's going on?" Ruyu faced the pear blossom with her back to the door, and suddenly heard the sound of the door being kicked open with a bang.

Then two black-clothed men rushed in, holding daggers in their hands, staring at the two maids in front of them with fierce eyes.

"Whew! Call! It's you! You were the ones who took Madame away! You killed her, didn't you?! ”

Rika suddenly stood up and yelled at the comer: "I'll fight with you!" ”

As he spoke, he threw himself at the two of them.

Ruyu didn't have time to stop her, and saw that the dagger in the hand of the man in black was about to cut down head-on towards Pear Blossom.

I had to lift a basket of straw next to me and smash it at the two killers like crazy.

shouted: "I also fought with you!" ”

When the two maids were holding on to the decision to die, they were fighting against the man in black.

Suddenly, a large piece of lime was sprinkled from the eaves, and all four of them were hit, but the pear blossom and Ruyu were a little farther away.

was only smashed on the head, and the two men in black were not so lucky, they were all sprinkled into their eyes, and they screamed in pain.

"Let's go!"

Just as the surroundings turned gray, someone grabbed the two of them from behind.

The two men covered their eyes and were dragged out of the temple by this person.

"You...... Who are you? Rika only felt like she was being pulled like a chicken by her belt.

"It's me!"

A familiar voice came to my ears.

"Firecrackers? Firecrackers you didn't die? ”

Ruyu still couldn't open her eyes, only felt that her eyeballs were hot and painful.

"Well, who said I was dead?"

"But I was on the cliff just now......"

"It was a moment of playfulness on my way up the mountain, and I went to the cliff to look around for a while, and then fell out of my baggage when I left.

Aren't the shoes made for the subordinates in the Prime Minister's Mansion all the same style? ”

"Oh, I see!" Ruyu wiped her eyes, but found that she still couldn't see clearly.

"You..... Have you seen Madame? Where was Madame taken by them? ”
