Chapter Twenty-Five: Scaring You?

Hongluo, who would stay in front of the door on time every day and wait for Cheng Yuxi to wake up, didn't come over today?

Cheng Yuxi didn't show too much expression on her face, and after she simply sorted out her clothes, she returned to the room and held an oil-paper umbrella and walked out of her house.

Cheng Yuxi went directly to the door of the chief manager and blocked the panicked chief manager, and then asked, "Where is the red snail?" ”

The manager looked at Cheng Yuxi in surprise, and then said, "Miss, don't you know?" Hongluo was punished by Young Master Cheng Yi for kneeling on the school grounds because he made a mistake last night, and he should still be kneeling now! ”

Cheng Yuxi's face sank suddenly, and she asked coldly, "What did Hongluo do wrong?" ”

The manager's face was embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "Last night, Young Master Cheng Yi asked Hongluo to send medicine to Miss Cheng Qiongcheng, but I didn't expect Hongluo to let Miss Cheng Qiong go directly!" ”

“…… Is the evidence conclusive? Cheng Yuxi asked.

"Naturally, the evidence is conclusive, Miss!" The manager said with a regretful face: "You also know, Miss Cheng Qiong's brain is not normal now, she ran out in the middle of the night, no one can find it, if something happens, the red snail will definitely not be able to escape!" ”

Cheng Yuxi's expression was very cold, and after she listened to the manager's words, she turned around and walked quickly to the school grounds.

I saw that there were many people around the school field, and everyone gathered under the eaves to look at the woman kneeling on the ground in the center of the school field.

When Cheng Yuxi saw the wet back of the red snail, she felt that her reason exploded in an instant, she walked forward quickly with an oil-paper umbrella, and then pulled the red snail up without saying anything.

Hongluo didn't expect Cheng Yuxi to dare to come over directly to pull her up, and hurriedly whispered: "Don't care about me, Miss!" Leave me alone! Young Master Cheng Yi is watching from the side, he won't let you go! ”

Although Cheng Yuxi doesn't know too many people from the Cheng family, she knows a little about Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi is Cheng Qiong's own brother, it can be said that Cheng Yuxi's cousin, this person rarely shows up, and Xuancheng himself has a very high alchemy talent to the outside world, so he worshiped under the seat of a certain alchemy master and studied carefully. Originally, the mess out of the Cheng family was theoretically related to Cheng Yi, but because of Cheng Yi's so-called alchemy talent, many people were protecting him openly and secretly.

The Great Elder fell one, as well as the Second Elder, the Third Elder, and even Cheng Yuanshan's younger brother Cheng Yuanwu......

Cheng Yuxi gritted his teeth in disgust.

"Red snail, I'll say it one last time, take the umbrella and stand up!" Cheng Yuxi said firmly.

Hongluo's face was already full of tears, she looked at Cheng Yuxi's firm face, nodded, and slowly stood up.

Because she had been kneeling for too long and had been drenched in the rain for too long, Hongluo was trembling all over her body, and her knees couldn't stand up at all, so Cheng Yuxi hugged her and walked to the small pavilion next to her step by step.

There were three people sitting in the cinnabar-colored red pavilion, looking very strange, they looked at Cheng Yuxi who came with an umbrella arrogantly, and then sneered disdainfully.

After Cheng Yuxi walked in, he let Hongluo sit in the pavilion, then raised his eyes and looked at them coldly, and said, "Brother, what does this mean?" ”

Cheng Yi sat in the middle, with several bottles of fine carved wine in front of him, his face was mean, and when he didn't speak, he always looked like he was about to get angry at any time, and it was this that frightened many people, and they didn't dare to provoke him easily.

"I'm going to ask my good sister, what are you doing here?" Cheng Yi took a sip of wine, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister Yuxi, do you know what this maid in your room has done?" I asked her to deliver medicine to Sister Cheng Qiong, but she actually let Sister Cheng Qiong go directly! The sin is punishable! ”

Cheng Yuxi sneered, raised his head and looked at Cheng Yi without admitting defeat at all, and said, "Then I want to ask, there are hundreds of servants in the Cheng family, why do you want the maid in my room to send it?" Has she Cheng Qiong been reduced to the point of being unattended! ”

"Cheng Yuxi!" Cheng Yi slapped the table and shouted, "I advise you to respect me!" These two next to me are all proud disciples of my master, all of them are good at alchemy, and sooner or later they will shine in the middle three days! Don't you feel ashamed when you make a big fuss in front of them! ”

Cheng Yuxi sneered and said, "Oh? Alchemist? Three days in the middle? Dare to ask who you are learning from! ”

The man next to him, who had been looking at Cheng Yuxi with greasy eyes, laughed, looked at her and said gently, "Senior Brother Cheng Yi, why are you angry with a woman? Sister Yuxi, don't be angry, what your cousin did is not impolite, and if someone makes a mistake, he should be punished. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said with a smile: "The top priority at the moment is to find Cheng Qiong's sister, and after finding it, there is no rush to punish it." ”

Cheng Yi seemed to respect his senior brother, so he echoed again and again: "What Senior Brother Shang Wensong said makes sense!" I've already sent someone to look for my sister, I'm afraid there will be news soon! ”

When Shang Wensong heard this, he smiled at Cheng Yuxi, and then said, "Sister Yuxi, take your maid down to rest." Cheng Yi will leave it to me, you don't need to worry. ”

Cheng Yuxi looked at the three people under the red pavilion coldly, then turned around and helped the limping red snail, and walked back to his house step by step.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he met Chang Fu, who looked anxiously at the wet red snail and said, "Eh, eh! I'm only going out for two days, how can you happen to so many things! ”

"Without further ado, let's help the red snail into my room first, and I'll give you medicine." Cheng Yuxi said.

Hongluo refused again and again: "No need Miss, no need!" I'll just apply some medicine myself! ”

"Red snail!" Cheng Yuxi shouted at her, and then said: "I am on the school field today, and I will go directly to fight with that Cheng Yi for you, do you think I am the kind of person who cares about the details?" ”

Hearing this, the red snail slowly lowered his head.

Seeing that Hongluo was no longer speechless, Cheng Yuxi asked Chang Fu to help her into his room.

After Chang Fu withdrew, Cheng Yuxi took out the ointment she made and began to medicate the red snail, in order to prevent the red snail from suffering from fever and cold, she gave the red snail another pill.

Hongluo trusted Cheng Yuxi very much, and looked at this pill without suspecting anything, so he swallowed it directly.

After simply cleaning up the scars on Hongluo's body, Cheng Yuxi asked, "Hongluo, tell me in detail, what happened after I fell asleep last night?" ”

Hongluo wiped the rain on his face, and then said: "Bizhu suddenly started to cough violently in the middle of the night last night, I wanted to give her some water, but the water in the room was drunk, I wanted to run to the well next to the house to fetch water, but I didn't expect to meet Young Master Cheng Yi like this, after he stuffed a bag of medicinal materials to me, he asked me to go to the pharmacy to cook these medicinal materials, and then give them to Miss Cheng Qiong to drink, saying that it can cure Miss Cheng Qiong's madness......"

"And then?" Cheng Yuxi asked.

"Then I cooked the medicine and walked to the room where Miss Cheng Qiong was being held, but as soon as I entered, I found that there was no one inside! When I told Young Master Cheng Yi about this, he directly said that I let Cheng Qiong go, and then ...... Then they sent me to kneel on the side of the school grounds. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yuxi's eyes became colder, and she said: "Cheng Yi is usually addicted to playing in the mountains and rivers, and his reputation is alchemy cultivation, and he has always looked down on the Cheng family, why did he suddenly return in the middle of the night, and why, would he decoct medicine for Cheng Qiong......"

Underneath all this weirdness, there is a big conspiracy hidden, but Cheng Yuxi doesn't know what this conspiracy is, so he can only warn himself: Be careful, be careful.

At noon the next day, a servant sent a message that Miss Cheng Qiong had been found, and that she had been found in an alley in the town, and there were no injuries, but she seemed to be frightened and very emotional.

After Cheng Yuxi heard about this, he said to Hongluo: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

After Cheng Yuxi took the red snail to the dilapidated courtyard where Cheng Qiong lived before, he saw that the courtyard was already full of people, most of them were some servants of the Cheng family who had nothing to do, and they were stretching their necks at the gate of the courtyard to look at the scene inside.

When they saw Cheng Yuxi walking towards this side, they pushed back one after another, making way for Cheng Yuxi.

Chang Fu was also waiting here, and when he saw Cheng Yuxi coming over, he hurriedly followed her and whispered, "Young Master Cheng Yi and his two senior brothers have arrived. ”

When Cheng Yuxi heard this, his face sank, and the red snail behind him also trembled a little.

After the two of them walked into the courtyard, Cheng Yuxi heard a hoarse female voice shouting something.

After she walked in, she found that the crazy woman who kept shouting turned out to be Cheng Qiong.

I saw that she was wearing a tattered shirt, leaning against a big tree, frantically shaking in front of her, and then shouting: "You deserve it!" They all deserve it! You people all deserve it! ”

Cheng Yuxi stared at it, and saw Cheng Yi standing not far from Cheng Qiong, looking at her with disgust, and then said to the servants behind him: "What are you stunned about? Why don't you tie her up for me back to my room! ”

Then there was another commotion.

When Cheng Qiong was tied up by those young and strong servants and thrown into the room, Cheng Yi's face was extremely ugly, he first let the little servants next to him drive away the lively servants outside the yard, and then looked at Cheng Yuxi who was standing quietly next to him with an unkind face, and said lightly: "Why is it so quiet?" Could it be that Cheng Qiong's current appearance scared Sister Yuxi? ”
