Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Strange Woman
Luo Li picked up a branch and drew a simple map of the courtyard outside the Qi Yuan on the ground, and marked the location of several ambushed people.
He Lanyue didn't hear what they said clearly, and the two of them had already rushed out, as if they were competing.
Everything happened quietly under the cover of night.
In less than half a cup of tea, the two of them stunned the guards of Qi Yuanwai's house and everyone in the room and returned to her.
Chu Xiaohe arrived first, "The courtyard door has been opened, let's go in!" ”
Still the same as yesterday, they only opened the courtyard door by one crack, and went directly to the main house after entering.
Luo Li lit the fire.
Chu Xiaohe was courteous, and hurriedly took out the dagger and handed it to He Lanyue.
Before the two of them could react, they only heard the sound of a broken bone, and then they saw that He Lanyue had already broken Qi Yuanwai's little finger and stood very abruptly.
After doing all this, He Lanyue took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and looked at Chu Xiaohe, "I'm not as bloody as you." ”
Chu Xiaohe said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are not bloody, you are violent." ”
Helan Yue shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "Thank you for the compliment." With that, he walked out the door.
Luo Li raised his eyebrows and said to Chu Xiaohe: "Cousin, our girl is very well-behaved, don't teach her badly." ”
Chu Xiaohe finally saw what it means to open his eyes and talk nonsense.
He followed them leisurely.
Came to Qi Debao's room.
Helan Yue saw that although Qi Debao was tall and tall, he was still a half-old child after all, and she couldn't bear to break his hand.
But I still have to give him a small lesson, let him remember it for a long time, and don't always bully them for no reason in the future.
Chu Xiaohe saw the two of them leaving from the bedside, glanced at it, and actually found that there was nothing abnormal about the kid on the bed.
"Stinky girl, you don't do anything, what are you doing in this room?"
actually called her a stinky girl, Helan Yue said: "Slip you to play!" ”
"I ...... Gentlemen don't care about villains and women. ”
Luo Li said lightly: "Aren't you just a villain?" ”
As he spoke, he extinguished the fire fold, and galloped away with Helan Yue with a tacit understanding.
Chu Xiaohe smiled indifferently, his movements were not slow, and he followed them closely.
Luo Li sent the two to the abandoned courtyard and returned to Buzhuang.
After going out of the secret passage and walking forward for a while, Chu Xiaohe untied the horse rope tied to the edge of the forest and handed it to He Lanyue, "Give you a ride, go home faster, it's really sleepy." ”
Helan Yue did have some difficulties, and yawned, "This is what you volunteered to ride for me, don't ask me for favors when the time comes." ”
"The little girl is quite vindictive."
When the two returned to the village, they had attracted the attention of the same people as they had done yesterday, but they only went up to investigate, and did not take action.
Chu Xiaohe sent He Lanyue to the door, watched her enter the courtyard, and then went home.
Following.
When he returned home after digging for half a summer, Helan Yue found that some of the children who usually played wildly on the mountain had gathered to play in the stream behind his yard today.
I couldn't help but have some curiosity and asked Xiaoshan to ask.
After a while, Xiaoshan ran back panting, "Second sister, I can't go up the mountain, they said that there are people at the foot of the mountain who don't let them go up the mountain to play." ”
Helan Yue asked again: "Is it from the village?" ”
Xiaoshan scratched the back of his head, "I forgot to ask." ”
Now He Lanyue felt even more strange, but she didn't show it, "It's okay, I'll just ask." ”
After lunch, when everyone was taking a nap, Helan Yue quietly went out from the backyard.
She came to Luo Li's house first, and found that the courtyard door was locked, Luo Li didn't come back, and that Chu Xiaohe was not there.
She went up the mountain with difficulty from the back mountain where no one walked, and she was careful and vigilant all the way, worried about being discovered.
When she climbed to the top of the mountain, she saw a group of strong men in coarse cloth clothes halfway up the mountain, tightly surrounding a tree, and strangely raising a fire on the side of the tree.
There was a man sitting on the edge with a head-sized box in his hand.
The pattern on the box made her feel a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that her husband was lying in a rocking chair under the tree, and he was holding a wooden booklet, and the pattern on it was very similar to the one on this box.
She wanted to get closer to see if it was true, but suddenly someone covered her mouth from behind.
Smelling the faint ambergris, Helan Yue did not struggle.
I was too concerned about the things halfway up the mountain just now, and I didn't notice anyone approaching, which was really a bit careless.
But what she didn't expect was that Chu Xiaohe was a first-class master, if he didn't want to be exposed, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to find him.
Chu Xiaohe saw that Helan Yue was very cooperative, and took the person back a few meters, far away in a low depression, and then let the person go.
"What are you doing here, those people are not ordinary people, if they are discovered, they will be killed, hurry back."
"What's in that man's box?"
"Gu worms."
"You appeared here, didn't you want the Gu worm in his hand?"
"It's not."
"It seems that you are here for this group of people, so why did you rob my twin lotus before."
Chu Xiaohe looked at the girl in front of him, thinking that maybe she knew something.
"If you tell me who your twin lotuses were given to, maybe I can give you an answer."
"If you don't say it, forget it, I'm not uncommon to know."
"Then I'll tell you something, maybe you'll be interested.
The strongest emperor of Wei in Kyushu, who was still the fifth prince at the time, married a strange woman in the world before ascending to the throne, and with the help of women, he made Wei the strongest and largest.
But this emperor is not satisfied!
This woman poured out his heart and lungs for him, he actually wanted to establish the woman, the largest business empire for himself, and even did not hesitate to threaten her with poison to this woman.
The woman was also a capable and hard-hearted person, so she immediately cut off the love thread and escaped in the heavily guarded palace.
But unfortunately, she was a twin Gu poison, and it was said that she wouldn't live long. ”
When Helan Yue heard this, she remembered all kinds of things about her husband, "Is there an antidote to Gu poison?" ”
"There is no antidote, the so-called twin is to live and die together, one is hurt, the other also feels the same way, bites the Gu person, if you take the twin lotus Gu worms, you will be nourished and prolong your life."
She can now be sure that Mr. is the strange woman in the mouth of the Chu Xiao River.
Helan Yue suddenly had a very bad premonition, "What are they doing there with Gu worms?" ”
"I've confirmed that the one in his box is the twin Gu, maybe he found that strange woman, use this method to lure her out!" When he said these words, Chu Xiaohe kept staring at Helan Yue.
But this girl's eyes sank, and her expression did not change at all.
Could it be that he guessed wrong, this girl and that person really don't know each other.
"If you snatch that twin Gu into your hands, will that strange woman still be saved?"
"It is said that in order to force this strange woman to appear, the emperor of Wei gave this Gu worm all kinds of poison every day, and pricked it with needles every day, this Gu worm is dying, which means that the strange woman will not live long."
