Chapter Seventy-Four: Just Relax
Cold Frost thought for a moment, "I remember, I picked up a flower on the side of the cliff, the red plum I picked up on the top of the mountain, and I gave it to you."
A touch of pain flashed in Gu Tingyu's eyes, he raised his head and looked at the sky: "Xue'er, actually, that red plum is not a red plum, it is a poppy."
"Poppy?" Cold Frost was puzzled, "What kind of flower is the poppy?"
Gu Tingyu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The poppy, growing in the tropical rainforest, its petals are purple and fragrant, but its toxicity is very strong, and it will be poisoned if it is contaminated with a little, and it will not be able to get rid of its toxin in this life."
"Then why is it still called a poppy?" Leng Shuang asked puzzled.
Gu Tingyu said: "Although the fragrance of the poppy is strong, it has a hypnotic effect, once poisoned, its pollen will make the poisoned person hallucinate, so as to fall into a coma, if it is bitten, it will die immediately, and the corpse will quickly decay, this is the power of the poppy."
Leng Shuang was terrified when she heard this, and she involuntarily grabbed Gu Tingyu's sleeve: "Brother Ayu, I'm afraid, why don't we go back."
Gu Tingyu touched her forehead and gently coaxed, "Silly girl, have you forgotten that I am studying medicine? You don't have to worry, even if I get poisoned, I can cure it, you just have to relax."
After listening to Gu Tingyu's comfort, Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them, chatting, walked towards the woods.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Cold Frost shivered.
Gu Tingyu noticed her strangeness and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Cold Frost shook her head, "I'm fine, I just feel a little cold."
"Is it cold?" Gu Tingyu stretched out his arm: "Do you want me to hold you?"
Cold Frost shook her head, "No need, I can hold on,"
After saying that, she quickened her pace and followed Gu Tingyu into the forest.
Gu Tingyu did not hesitate and walked straight towards the forest.
There was a cave in the forest, and Gu Tingyu took the lead in getting into it.
It was very damp and dark, and Cold Frost followed Gu Tingyu and walked in.
There was a foul smell in the cave, and the cold frost covered his nose, endured the bad smell, and looked around, but found nothing.
Gu Tingyu was also looking for clues, he squatted down in the corner, picked up a dead branch, and flicked it a few times, and then, he stood up suddenly, rushed out of the cave, and shouted outside, "Someone!"
Hearing Gu Tingyu's call, the surrounding guards immediately all rushed over.
Gu Tingyu pointed to the cave and said, "Burn this place down!" Quick!"
"Yes!" The guards immediately took out the fire breakers and lit the fire, and soon the flames burst up.
Gu Tingyu ordered the guards to stay here, and then walked out of the forest with Leng Shuang's hand, and set up a tent to sleep more than ten miles away from the town.
At night, Gu Tingyu suddenly woke up, he sat up, looked around, it was pitch black, he lifted the futon and got out of bed, walked out of the tent, stood outside the tent and looked around.
"Brother Ayu, what's wrong?" Cold Frost was also woken up.
She put on a coat and followed Gu Tingyu out.
Gu Tingyu looked ahead, his eyebrows furrowed: "This town is a bit weird, I always feel that someone is watching us."
"Who?" Cold Frost wondered, "Are you talking about the hunters in the mountains?"
"I'm not talking about them, I suspect they've already fled here, maybe...... It's a ghost." Gu Tingyu said solemnly.
Leng Shuang was startled and immediately hid behind Gu Tingyu's back.
Gu Tingyu smiled and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't you think I'm good? If you are afraid, I will not bring you."
"I'm not afraid," Leng Shuang hurriedly expressed his determination, "Brother Ayu, don't drive me away, I'll accompany you."
Gu Tingyu rubbed her head, smiled and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
They walked around the neighborhood again and found this
The town is relatively desolate, there is not a single person on the streets, not even the lanterns of the shops, and it is clear that there are no people living in it.
Gu Tingyu took Leng Shuang's hand and walked along the main road of the town, for about a stick of incense, they passed through two villages, and then came to another town.
The buildings in this town are all wooden, the houses are dilapidated, and the streets are cluttered.
Gu Tingyu led Leng Shuang into one of the mansions, and after pushing the door in, he turned to look at Leng Shuang: "It seems to be inhabited here."
Cold Frost looked at Gu Tingyu's gaze, only to see that the walls of this house were mottled, and the eaves were also broken, looking very dilapidated.
Gu Tingyu said, "This is an abandoned old house."
Leng Shuang nodded: "Brother Ayu, since there is no one living here, then we will stay here tonight?"
"Hmm." Gu Tingyu nodded, took Leng Shuang's hand and walked inside.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, Cold Frost was stunned.
"Brother Ayu, look, there's a well in here!"
After Gu Tingyu saw the stone slab by the well, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "You wait for me first, I'll fill this well."
"Okay." Cold Frost obediently stood in place and didn't move.
Gu Tingyu walked over, bent down to lift the bucket, and was about to scoop up the water, when suddenly, he heard footsteps, he immediately stopped the movement in his hand, turned his head vigilantly to look out of the door, and after confirming that there was no danger around, he carried the bucket, walked out of the door slowly, and then poured the water into the well.
Leng Shuang also followed behind Gu Tingyu, tiptoeing to the well.
"What do you do?" Gu Tingyu saw that she was too close, and reached out to hold her arm, widening the distance between the two.
His strength was not heavy, but it made Leng Shuang inexplicably lose his mind, and she looked at him blankly.
Gu Tingyu frowned, withdrew his hand, and said, "There is a well here, don't touch yourself."
Cold Frost sighed, lowered his head, and stepped aside.
After Gu Tingyu poured water into the well, he came back.
At this time, the moon climbed up the treetops, and the whole world became clear.
Leng Shuang saw the scene reflected in the well water, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Brother Ayu, look at it! This is ......."
"Shh," Gu Tingyu motioned for her to silence, and he stared at the well water carefully for a long time: "This is not like well water, but a little like blood, don't speak, let me see."
After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he put his ear to the edge of the well, and then closed his eyes.
"Huh? Strange."
Cold Frost hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's weird?"
Gu Tingyu opened his eyes, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "There is something in this well, and this thing is quite fierce."
"What?" Cold Frost doesn't understand a little, I don't know how there is something in this well?
Gu Tingyu said, "You wait for me first, I'll call someone to come over and help, you must not go out here."
"Yes." Leng Shuang nodded obediently, and then watched Gu Tingyu run towards the distance, she glanced back with some apprehension, and then looked at the well water in front of her.
She always felt that Gu Tingyu's behavior just now was a little strange, could it be ...... What's so strange in this water?
With that in mind, she leaned closer to observe.
At this time, Cold Frost faintly heard a trace of movement coming from the bottom of the well.
She shuddered, and quickly moved her body back, but she forgot that she was standing on the steps, so she stepped on the air, fell down, and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Gu Tingyu also called someone over.
Leng Shuang lay on the ground, grinning in pain: "Brother Ayu, who are you calling? It's been so long, why haven't you come yet?"
Gu Tingyu squatted in front of her, patted her shoulder gently, and said, "Don't worry, they'll be here soon."
Leng Shuang pouted, she was still thinking just now, why didn't Gu Tingyu's subordinates come over yet, and now, Gu Tingyu actually told her,
Coming soon?.
However, although she felt very strange in her heart, Leng Shuang didn't ask much, she raised her head and looked at Gu Tingyu.
Under the moonlight, the man's face is handsome and extraordinary, his facial features are well-defined, especially those eyes, as if they will discharge, seductive.
Cold Frost stared at him in a daze.
Gu Tingyu lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a faint smile on his lips.
Leng Shuang looked at it, and he was a little fascinated, Gu Tingyu's eyes were so good-looking, his eyelashes were thick and curly, the bridge of his nose was high and resolute, and his lips were thin and moderate, which made people want to take a bite.
Gu Tingyu noticed her burning gaze and looked down at her, "You have been staring at me, have you taken a liking to me?"
Cold Frost blinked her eyes, then blushed and shook her head.
She won't admit that she likes Gu Tingyu!
"That's love." Gu Tingyu said firmly.
Cold Frost's face instantly turned red, and she covered her face in a panic: "Brother Ayu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Gu Tingyu looked at her shy appearance, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, in a very good mood: "Am I right?"
"No," said Cold Frost angrily, "You must be mistaken, how can I like you?"
Gu Tingyu snorted lightly: "You don't like me, why do you keep peeking at me?"
Cold Cream: "......"
Gu Tingyu smiled and pinched her cheek, and then opened the door of the firewood shed and walked out.
As soon as he went out, he was met by soldiers who had arrived in a hurry, and they surrounded the firewood house.
Cold Frost was locked in the firewood room, listening to the sound of footsteps outside and the sound of swords clashing.
"Lord Wang, are you alright?" The deputy commander rushed in.
"I'm fine, you guys stay outside first, and I'll come out in a while." After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he stuffed the shovel in his hand into the hand of the deputy commander, and then took out another shovel and walked towards the well.
The well is not very deep, and there are many black things floating in the water, and at first glance, it looks like a dead fish.
Seeing this, the deputy commander immediately instructed his brothers, "Fish out the contents of the well and see what it is."
Several people agreed, and jumped down the well.
After a few moments, a soldier poked his head out, "Report, Deputy Commander, it's full of corpses, both human and beast."
