Chapter 9: Hunted and killed
"My name is Song Qiaoqiao, you can come first and sit down, everything will wait for my aunt to come back."
Cheng Qingwan nodded and entered the door with the basket.
Song Qiaoqiao looks two years older than her, but she is very introverted and shy, and can only ask one answer.
The two sat like this, and the smile on the embarrassed Cheng Qingwan's face was almost unbearable.
Suddenly, she saw the embroidery placed at the head of the bed, and broke her silence and said, "This is your embroidery, can I take a look?" ”
Song Qiaoqiao nodded, handed her the embroidery and said, "I don't embroider well." ”
Cheng Qingwan looked at the plum blossoms embroidered on it, small and exquisite, and couldn't help opening her mouth: "This is very good, I don't know how to do embroidery." ”
"I have been following A-Niang to make embroidery since I was a child, and A-Niang said that I will embroider my own wedding dress in the future." Song Qiaoqiao showed a shy smile on her face and whispered.
Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, recalling the memory of the original owner, Cheng Huaer had never let the original owner learn embroidery, on the contrary, her embroidery was a must.
"Qiaoqiao, come out and help A-Niang get something."
A voice came from outside the door, and the two hurriedly got up and walked out.
The woman stood in the courtyard sweating profusely with a basket of firewood on her back, and looked at the two girls who came out in amazement.
"You...... It's Wanwan, why are you here today? ”
"My aunt asked me to send you some bamboo shoots and wild boar." Cheng Qingwan smiled and said.
When Widow Liu saw the wild boar meat placed in her house, she was stunned for a while: "Such a big piece of meat has been given to us, what do you eat at home?" ”
"We still have it at home." Cheng Qingwan said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, I have something I want to ask you." ”
"You say."
"It's that you've been in the village for so many years, have you ever heard of a miracle doctor?"
Widow Liu thought carefully for a while, and then said: "I haven't heard of the divine doctor, but I heard that more than ten years ago, an imperial doctor from the capital came to settle down with us, and he disappeared the next day. ”
Cheng Qingwan thought for a while after hearing this: "Thank you Aunt Liu, it's not early, my aunt should have cooked dinner, why don't you go and eat together." ”
"I won't be able to visit another day."
Cheng Qingwan nodded, and while walking, she said to Aunt Liu: "My aunt is bored at home alone, why don't you go to my place often?"
The woman nodded in response and sent the man out of the doorway.
Cheng Qingwan walked on the road, thinking about the sentence just now, and she really couldn't be sure whether the imperial doctor was a miracle doctor or not.
She walked to the door and didn't come to a conclusion.
Soon it was April, around the Qingming Festival, Cheng Qingwan inquired everywhere in the past few days, and there was no whereabouts of the miracle doctor, and the people in the village either sneered at her, or avoided her like a flood of beasts, and no news came out at all.
She carried the basket on her back, collecting firewood while thinking about what to do next.
Suddenly, in the bamboo forest not far away, there was the sound of fighting.
Cheng Qingwan reacted immediately and turned around and went down the mountain.
As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats, and some things are better not to know, so as not to catch fire.
She walked briskly down the hill, and when she passed a sweet potato hole, she was pulled into it violently.
Just as she was about to shout, she saw the familiar person in front of her make a silent gesture to her.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the cave door, and Cheng Qingwan looked out through the gap, and there were more than a dozen people dressed in black and holding swords standing in front of her.
Not far away, a villager carried a basket up the mountain to chop firewood, looked at the person standing there with Qi Shushu, and asked, "Are you...... Who are you? ”
The man in black and the partner beside him glanced at each other, and in the next second, the screams of the villagers came.
"Throw him at the bottom of a cliff and fall to his death while he was chopping wood."
"Yes, what about Yuanqi?"
"Keep looking, Your Highness has an order, after you find it, you will be killed."
Cheng Qingwan watched them clean up the bloodstains, and then resisted the villagers away.
After confirming that they were all gone, she sat down on the ground, if Yuanqi hadn't pulled her in just now, she would have died.
Cheng Qingwan turned her head to look at Yuan Qi, and found that his face was pale, and hurriedly asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Warm blood dripped on the back of her hand, and when she looked down, she found that the young man's lower abdomen had been slashed with a sword.
Common sense told her that the bleeding had to be stopped now, or the boy would bleed to death.
Cheng Qingwan thought so, took out the sickle in the frame, and cut off a piece of Yuanqi's clothes.
I was about to untie his clothes, but my hand was grabbed.
Yuan Qi opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him vigilantly: "No need." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Qingwan was about to speak, but he took out a whistle and blew it three times.
The whistle fell, and the two attendants who had been in the carriage last time opened the door to the sweet potato hole from the outside.
"Your Excellency." The man walked in and immediately helped the person out of the cave, and saw that black blood was flowing from the wound: "My lord, this sword is poisonous!" ”
"Azhu, send this girl home." Yuanqi's face turned pale and said to the attendant next to him.
"Yes."
Before Cheng Qingwan could say anything, she felt that her collar was grabbed, and in the next second, the whole person rose into the air.
Her eyes widened, watching Azhu jump and jump with her, and in a blink of an eye, she reached the bottom of the mountain.
Isn't this a long-lost light skill in the legend?
Cheng Qingwan walked to the door of her house, turned to Ah Zhu and said, "My house is here, by the way, thank you for helping me, if it weren't for him, I would have been killed by that group of people in black." ”
"I'll convey the girl's thanks." After Ah Zhu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Cheng Qingwan glanced at her back, then turned around and walked into the house.
Inside the house, Cheng Hua'er was discussing embroidery with Widow Liu's mother and daughter, and when she saw her coming in, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Wan Wan is back, A-Niang has soaked you in honeysuckle to reduce the fire, you have been on fire for the past few days, drink it quickly." ”
"Okay." Cheng Qingwan responded, picked up the bowl on the table, and took two big sips.
"Wanwan, what's the matter with the blood stains on your clothes?"
Cheng Qingwan lowered her head, glanced at the blood stains on the hem of her skirt, and suddenly remembered what the attendant said.
Poison on the sword......
"Wanwan, are you hurt somewhere?" Cheng Hua'er hurriedly pulled the person in front of her to look, so anxious that she almost cried.
"Ah, I'm not hurt, maybe I was contaminated with blood vines when I was chopping wood just now." Cheng Qingwan said with a smile: "I'm fine, Auntie, I'll go to the backyard to see the wheat first." ”
Without waiting for Cheng Hua'er to speak, she walked in the backyard with a kettle.
The spring sun shone on Cheng Qingwan's body, but she felt chills all over her body because of what had just happened.
But in retrospect, Yuanqi was too calm......
"Host, there is an antidote pill in the points system."
The voice of the system suddenly remembered, but it jumped Cheng Qingwan.
"Huh?"
"The antidote pill can be exchanged for only a hundred points."
Cheng Qingwan heard this and frowned: "Why did you suddenly tell me this?" ”
"Because I'm afraid that I won't be able to meet the performance indicators......" The system looked at her blank look and said, "You look down." ”
Cheng Qingwan lowered her head, looked at the soil that had been poured out of a pit by herself, and hurriedly rescued her.
