Chapter 240: Poisoning?

Originally, Fang Tong and the others wanted to catch Xing Wuyang and a few of them, but Xing Wuyang ran away when he saw that the situation was not good, and after a while, there was no shadow. The remaining four of us were tied up and taken into the village ancestral hall.

"Is that really a jade seal?" asked Bao'er.

A few of us were locked up in a small courtyard inside the Liu family ancestral hall. The ancestral hall of the small village is just a place similar to a courtyard house. The ancestral hall gate is probably the most magnificent building in the entire village. Inside is a courtyard fenced off by a house. I don't know where Fang Tong and the woman lived, anyway, the windows of the room we stayed in were covered with thick paper, and even if it was sunny and daylight, it was dark inside.

"I don't know if it's true or not, I snatched it from Ming Chong. ”

"Is it in that cave?"

I nodded, unable to see what Bo'er's expression was.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You haven't asked," I replied lightly, "and you know it's dangerous." ”

"You ......" Bao'er wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

We were all tied up, maybe I was used to it, and I didn't feel anything after a long time. Bao'er and Qingfeng were uncomfortable, and kept twisting their bodies. Mingyue has not yet come back and escaped this catastrophe. Although the rope that tied me was basically an ornament, it was unrealistic for me to take them all out of the village safely by myself. And I'm still curious about who the woman who looks exactly like Lu Jia is. There is also the heirloom jade seal in their hands, and they will have to get it back when the time comes.

By the time I got to the house, I couldn't see anyone anymore, and my stomach was starting to get hungry. Although I am not a foodie, a strong exercise also consumes a lot of energy. The most important thing is that yesterday's meal, no matter how well it was cooked, was eaten in the end. So I haven't eaten a grain of rice all day today.

"Is there anyone out there?" I have to do this kind of thing of asking for food, "we are hungry, get us some food." ”

I shouted a few times and there was no response outside, so I waited for a while. Only then did the guards of the Southern Army soldiers reply: "Wait, we haven't eaten yet." ”

I can't stand the fact that a shrimp soldier and crab general is so proud, as if I have really become a lamb to the slaughter. With a slight effort, the rope tied to his hands was shaken open, and in the midst of a few of their surprised eyes, the wrists that were reddened by the activity were strangled from activity.

"Don't worry, I'll find you something to eat. "I'm going out of the house.

"Brother Mu, how can you untie us up. "Wuchen's spirit is much better now than two days ago, he is also young and strong, and this injury will heal soon. What's more, their Taoist priests still have any messy secret methods that can strengthen the body and prolong life. Immortality or something.

"Oh yes, I forgot about you. I walked over to Wuchen and squatted down, pulling his rope with both hands to untie it, but after a hesitation, I let go, "No, I'll untie it for you, what if you sneak away while I'm out looking for food." Just like that conscienceless Xing Wuyang, he ruined the food the day before yesterday. If you run away. I can't be tossed to death by them alone, right?"

"Mu Wu!" Bao'er suddenly became hysterical when she saw me, "Are you crazy!"

I don't know why I'm in a good mood, maybe it's because I saw "Lu Jia". Or maybe I see hope of living in the Ming Dynasty. As long as Lu Jia's soul is put on that woman's body, won't Lu Jia come back. I've been through so much that I've been emotionally able to accept it for a long time.

"Yes, I'm just crazy. You can't help me. So saying, I opened the door.

Before the front foot stepped out, I met the woman who looked exactly like "Lu Jia" and walked to the door, almost bumping into me. He was followed by a Confederate soldier. He carried a large basket full of food.

"Oh, I was thinking of coming out and asking you for something to eat. ”

"You're going to eat it. The woman chuckled, "Why don't you run?"

When she said this, the soldiers who were guarding outside the house realized that I had broken free from the rope, and they all showed off as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Okay, by the time you react, you'll already be in a different place. What's the use here, stop standing at the door, and patrol elsewhere. The woman said.

"But Miss Ye ......"

"What's so good, don't you want to disobey me?" The woman's voice suddenly became sharp, making ordinary people shudder when they heard it. I don't seem to be an ordinary person when I say this, of course, I'm not afraid of her, and her fierce appearance is not like Lu Jia at all. Maybe I didn't see Lu Jia become vicious.

"The little ones don't dare. The four soldiers resignedly put away their fellows and left.

"It turns out that your surname is Ye. I grinned and said, "It's hard for you to still think about us, knowing that we're hungry anymore." ”

"You're hungry for a soft bone. Bao'er sat on the ground and snorted coldly.

"This girl seems to have a big prejudice against you. The woman first glanced at me, and then said, "I'm bringing dinner, and whether you can eat it depends on whether you cooperate or not." ”

"Where are so many mothers-in-law and mothers," I said as I dropped a sentence and went to snatch the basket from the soldier's hand, "we know everything, we can always say everything." ”

Where is that soldier's opponent, and when I put my finger on his arm, he must have been in pain, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the basket fell into my hand. At that moment, it occurred to me that I should learn the knowledge of acupuncture points, so that I could order acupuncture points or something in the future. The martial arts novels and TV series I watched when I was a child, in fact, the points are the most impressive.

"You know I'm going to ask you a question?" the woman asked curiously.

"Do you still want to ask us for money?" I said, picking up a bowl of rice and eating it.

"You're not afraid that I'll poison my food?"

"Don't be afraid, if you want to kill me, you will do it when you are at the entrance of the village, and you don't need to waste arsenic. "In fact, in the era of cold weapons in the Ming Dynasty, the so-called poisons, in addition to being extracted from poisonous insects, were also arsenic in chemicals. The "crane top red" that is often found in novels is actually just impure arsenic.

As I spoke, I took a bite of rice into my mouth and ate it with relish. The woman seemed helpless next to her, and motioned to the soldier, who was still sore in her arm, to give the rope on the three of them.

A few of them, you look at me, I look at you, and they all moved their hands and feet, walked to the round table in the room, and began to eat.

"Actually, you should wait half an hour to see that I don't foam at the mouth before eating. I gobbled up a big bowl of rice and choked a little, "Miss Ye, let's say, what do you have to ask?"

"What do those lines on the heirloom jade seal mean?"

"Isn't that something you were born with?" I pretended not to know.

"Those lines are clearly engraved. ”

"I don't know what that means," I told you the truth, "if I had known what the lines of those ghost talismans were, I wouldn't have lent you the heirloom jade seal." ”

"Do you want to get it back?"

"Don't worry, it's safer to put it there with you, there are thieves in the province who are worried. ”

"You really don't know what's the secret of that pattern?"

"I just know the above secret before I give you the jade seal, and I also know that you can't think of a reason for it even if you want to it for the rest of your life. I teased her, "Of course, if you tell me what your name is, I might consider telling you." ”

"What do you mean?"

When she said this, I was a little stunned, and there was even a hint of innocence in her tone. She wouldn't really think that I would know the secret of the jade seal of the country, and would tell her in a friendly way, would she?

"Of course, I don't change my title. ”

"Ye Linglong. ”

Her name is Ye Linglong? I don't remember that there is such a name at all, not even anything like that. This is certainly not a famous character in the torrent of history, but why does she look so similar to Lu Jia? What does she have to do with Lu Jia?

"Say it quickly. ”

"Huh?" Ye Linglong suddenly shouted at me, pulling me back from my distraction, "Say something quickly?"

"Mu Wu, you liar. ”

"Didn't I just want to ask your name? Why did you bother to tell me? I looked at her angry face, and even a little cute, "I told you that I don't know the secret of the jade seal, you don't believe it, a person's desire is too strong, he will be blind, right?"

"Then you just wait to die, it's useless to keep you anyway. Ye Linglong seemed to be a little really annoyed and angry. She turned to leave.

"You scare me!" I saw that she was angry, and I thought of Lu Jia being angry in my mind, and I unconsciously became nervous.

"Do you think I'm scaring you?" she said, turning to me with a blank face.

I'm afraid this really provoked her. In case she was a princess or something, she was used to being rude and willful since she was a child, and it was not impossible to kill me in a fit of anger. But I'm sure they don't have the power to kill me. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and I felt the piercing pain go along the duodenum to the ileum.

"You! You actually poisoned the food!" I quickly covered my stomach and said to the three who were still eating, "Don't eat it, the food is poisonous." ”

When the three of them heard this, they saw that I was frowning and bending over, and it didn't seem like I was joking, and they panicked for a while. Quickly spit out the food that has not been swallowed in your mouth. Bao'er was already a little discolored, her face was pale, and she put her fingers in her throat to vomit out the food in her stomach.

"Don't toss around, there is no poison in the food. Ye Linglong laughed, "At least there is no poison in the food of the three of you." ”

"How is that possible!" I reached out to grab Ye Linglong, "we all eat the same dish." (To be continued......)
