Chapter 173: A Clown's Mask (4000 words)
Chen Lu noticed the bronze mirror in the room.
The bronze mirror stood on the dresser, and it looked the same as an ordinary copper mirror.
However, the design of this mirror is very special.
The frame of this mirror is divided into two parts.
One part is white, one part is black.
White and black each occupy half of the border, which is very symmetrical.
Not only that, but at the junction of white and black, the top of the mirror is a sun, and the bottom of the mirror is a moon.
This is the first time Chen Lu has seen such a strange mirror.
And somehow.
Chen Lu felt that maybe it was his own delusion, that is, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this mirror brought him an uncomfortable feeling, that is, he felt panicked.
It's like you're standing in front of a mirror and looking at yourself in the mirror all the time, and over time it feels creepy.
"That."
Just as Chen Lu was looking at this mirror, Li Sasa's voice slowly came from the bedside.
"Brother Chen, can you go out first?
I'm going to do some check-ups for Miss He, and I need to take off my clothes, which may be a little inconvenient."
"Oh, okay."
Chen Lu nodded and walked out of the room with Qian Xiaohu.
After about a stick of incense, Li sprinkled it out.
"How's it going? What is Ms Ho's condition? β
Chen Lu asked.
Li Sasa shook his head: "It's not easy to say, Miss He's body is weak, it seems to be caused by nature, but Miss He said that she wasn't so weak before."
That's weird.
I'll prescribe a few pairs of medicines first, take them for a while, and then I'll take a look after half a month.
Some of these medicinal materials are only available in the treasury of the Zhenyun Division, but they are not very precious, and the Qian Zhenyun envoy can go and take a look. β
"I'm sorry for Dr. Li." Qian Xiaohu hurriedly bowed, this time in the capital's spring festival, Qian Xiaohu earned a lot of merit points.
After Li Sasa wrote the prescription and handed it to Qian Xiaohu, the two refused the request to eat together and walked home.
Along the way, Li Sasa's face was a little heavy.
"Sprinkle, what's wrong?" Chen Lu asked.
"Brother Chen." Li Sasa pulled the corner of Qian Xiaohu's clothes, "I'm afraid that Miss He's life won't have much time left." β
"Huh?" Chen Lu was also taken aback, "Is it serious?" β
"Yes, it's serious!"
Li Sasa nodded.
"In the eyes of our physicians, both men and women, yin and yang are balanced.
It's just that men will have more yang energy and women will have more yin energy, but no matter what, this is in a relatively balanced state!
But this He girl is different.
The yin qi in her body is so heavy!
Already completely out of balance.
According to common sense, this disease must be the root cause.
But I couldn't find the root cause.
Master told me that if you can't find the root cause and you can't find it in the body, then it will definitely appear outside. β
"Huh?"
Chen Lu's heart froze.
"What do you mean?"
"Yes!" Li Sasa nodded emphatically, "In Miss He's room, there must be something unclean!" That kind of thing is absorbing Miss He's yang energy and aggravating Miss He's yin energy! β

γDingγ
Just when Chen Lu was thinking about reporting this matter to the Town Transportation Division as soon as possible!
Suddenly, the voice of the system popped out of Chen Lu's mind.
[Daily mission trigger.] γ
[An abnormal situation in Qian Xiaohu's home was detected, and according to the prediction of this system, Qian Xiaohu will die at about nine o'clock tonight! Died at the hands of He Tang!
In order to protect his little brother, it is naturally incumbent on him to be the host of the eldest brother.
In order to show his majesty and strength as a big brother, he also asked the host to go to Qian Xiaohu's courtyard alone to deal with the matter alone. γ
[Reward: 1. Four days of life. 2. Agility increased by 10%. 3. Strength increased by 10% 3. Ghost Shadow Leap (Heavenly Rank Lower)γ
[Ghost Shadow Ling Bo Step: Ghost like a shadow, unpredictable, heavenly rank lower grade exercises! ]
Speed is its guarantee! Weirdness is its persistence!
If you learn this technique, you can also apply it to battle!
Ghost Limbo Step!
We don't need flashy advertising words!
We don't need superfluous gimmicks either!
Ghost Limbo Step! It stands for quality!
It's not easy to use, look for us!
Anything but returns! γ
The voice of the system landed, and Chen Lu had to admit that he was moved!
The fact that the reward this time is so generous shows that there is a certain danger in this mission!
Otherwise, the system wouldn't have let itself do this task alone!
Damn!
This system is definitely intentional!
But then again, that is the task promulgated by the system, not to mention the degree of complexity, its degree of difficulty must be within its own scope!
In other words, I can definitely do it with my ability, and I will not exceed the outline.
Do you want to give it a go?
Give it a go! Bicycle becomes motorcycle!
Of course.
It is also possible to give it a go and directly lose your own life
Want to be a little more unstable?
But this is a heaven-level exercise! And what I lack most now is a powerful body!
"Forget it! Fight for it! β
In the end, a decision was made in Chen Lu's heart.
"Sprinkle, you go back first, I'll deal with this matter." Chen Lu let Sa sa leave first.
"Brother Chen? Aren't we going to inform the town envoy? Li Sasa said curiously.
"Yes, but not now."
Chen Lu nodded.
"I have a firework here from the Heavenly Supervisor, and it has a very strong piercing ability! It is the latest launch of the Superintendent Division, and it is now being promoted.
When I feel that I can't do it anymore, I will light this firework, and the town transportation department knows the meaning of this firework, and then the town transportation envoy will come to support! β
"Oh woo. Then Brother Chen, be careful. β
Although Sprinkle still didn't understand why Brother Chen didn't report directly to the Town Transportation Division, but chose to take the risk of being alone on his own.
But Brother Chen must have the deep meaning of Brother Chen when he does this.
Chen Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, you tell Qinglian, I won't go back to eat, I'll go back later." β
After sending the sprinklers away, Chen Lu sat at a wine stall on the side of the street, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and waited for the night to come!
"Sugar candy has eaten."
In the small bungalow, Qian Xiaohu, who was cooking the meal, brought out the meal.
He Tang sat on the stool.
At this time, Qian Xiaohu had already cooked a meal.
This dinner is actually okay, there are meat and vegetables, and the nutrition is balanced.
"Little Tiger, thank you"
Looking at the food on the table and smelling the smell of fireworks on Qian Xiaohu's body, He Tang said with some guilt.
In He Tang's view, taking care of Xiaohu's daily life was originally what he should do, but now, Xiaohu not only has to go out to make money, but also take care of his own life
"There's nothing to thank you for." Qian Xiaohu smiled and said, "Come, eat, eat, this chicken is delicious, and it has been raised for two and a half years." β
"Hmm."
He Tang nodded and ate his meal in small bites.
"Xiaohu, in fact, I sometimes think that if it weren't for me, your life would be much better."
Halfway through eating, He Tang put down his chopsticks and looked at the man in front of him.
"So Xiaohu, my illness, otherwise don't treat it"
"What nonsense." Qian Xiaohu frowned, and his tone sounded very serious.
"But Xiaohu, I've dragged you down too much," He Tang's tone was full of guilt.
"He Tang, if it weren't for your mother, I would have starved to death when I was a child, and I wouldn't have had a chance to enter the Zhenyun Division at all!"
Qian Xiaohu stretched out his hand and held the weak and boneless little hand of the girl in front of him tightly.
"Little Sugar, no matter what, you are the most important person to me!
That doesn't change anytime!
Not to mention that I promised Aunt He, I will definitely take care of you!
Rest assured, you'll be fine.
The girl Li who treated you today is the personal disciple of Dr. Li Zhenzhen Li.
You don't know, I heard that Dr. Li is the most superb doctor in our Qianguo!
I believe that Miss Li will be able to cure your illness!
You don't have to think about anything, take care of your illness, okay? β
"Uh-huh."
Listening to Qian Xiaohu's words, hope was once again ignited in He Tang's heart.
He Tang even wanted to say, "When my illness is cured, then we will get married." β
But in the end, thinking about his sick body, in fact, He Tang really didn't have any self-confidence.
After dinner, Qian Xiaohu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, while He Tang went back to the room to rest.
He Tang wanted to help Qian Xiaohu clean up the dishes and chopsticks several times, but because He Tang's body was too weak to touch the cold water, he was stopped by Qian Xiaohu.
Qian Xiaohu boiled hot water and brought it into the room, and rubbed He Tang's body.
For both sides, although both sides have not yet confessed their hearts, they both know it.
And in He Tang's heart, he is already Qian Xiaohu's person.
If it weren't for his own body, his bones would be too weak.
He Tang wanted to give his body to Qian Xiaohu completely.
After wiping He Tang's body, Qian Xiaohu himself also went to practice for an hour, and then went to sleep after taking a cold shower.
The night was getting darker, and the small courtyard was quiet.
In this small bungalow, there was only the shallow breathing of He Tang and Qian Xiaohu.
Qian Xiaohu and He Tang both entered a dream, and the moonlight sprinkled into the girl's window edge and reflected on the girl's cheeks.
A mosquito flew around in front of He Tang, who was sleeping and closed his eyes.
And just when this mosquito just stayed on the tip of He Tang's nose.
Without the slightest warning, He Tang opened his eyes suddenly!
He Tang's eyes looked at the ceiling, and the mosquito was motionless, as if it was frozen.
He Tang sat up straight, and the mosquito slipped from He Tang's nose, but it was already reduced to ashes in the air.
He Tang's eyes were dull, and the pupils of those eyes were extremely empty.
He Tang lifted the quilt and slowly got out of bed.
He Tang's movements were very stiff, as if he had no spirit.
To be more precise.
At this time, He Tang seems to be a walking corpse, a marionette.
He Tang put on his shoes, walked to the dresser and sat down, his back straight, and looked at the mirror in front of him.
In the mirror, the figure of He Tang is reflected.
It's just that He Tang in the mirror gradually distorted, and the corners of He Tang's mouth sitting in front of the mirror raised an exaggerated arc, smiling like a clown mask.
The next moment, He Tang stood up and walked out of the door.
He Tang walked slowly step by step, came to the kitchen unhurriedly, and then picked up the kitchen knife from the knife rack in the kitchen.
He Tang walked and walked towards Qian Xiaohu's room.
After eating a bowl of beef noodles and a pot of wine, when the night was completely pulled into the sky, Chen Lu came to Qian Xiaohu's courtyard at this time by virtue of the night.
Chen Lu squatted directly next to Qian Xiaohu's window.
When Qian Xiaohu fell asleep, the snoring sounded.
Chen Lu then turned into Qian Xiaohu's room.
Chen Lu hid in Qian Xiaohu's closet, and then secretly expelled a crack.
One thing to say, Chen Lu always has a feeling of stealing people by himself
As the time passed minute by minute, the courtyard was extremely quiet, without any movement, Chen Lu couldn't help but yawn, and the corners of his eyes were covered with tears.
Chen Lu felt like he was about to fall asleep.
And right now!
With a "babbling", the wooden door squeezed the door frame and slowly opened.
A person's shadow is slowly elongated by the moonlight!
Chen Lu didn't have to think about it to know who this person was.
He Tang's footsteps were very light and light, if it weren't for watching the shadow move, Chen Lu wouldn't have known that the other party was moving.
Gradually, from the crack in the door of the wardrobe, Chen Lu saw He Tang, Yu He Tang's right hand, holding a kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife was smeared with a silver glow.
He Tang stopped in front of Qian Xiaohu's bed.
Looking at the man lying on the bed, He Tang raised the long knife in his hand expressionlessly!
Without the slightest hesitation, the kitchen knife slashed heavily towards Qian Xiaohu's neck!
"Hammer!"
Just when this kitchen knife was only 0.01 cm away from Qian Xiaohu's neck, a laser knife blocked the blade of the kitchen knife like a thin slice.
Sensing something unusual, He Tang slowly turned his head.
What Chen Lu saw were hollow eyes, and in those empty eyes, there was a black dead air.
"Who are you?" Chen Lu asked.
However, He Tang didn't answer, and directly slashed at Chen Lu!
Chen Lu picked it up with his backhand, picked the kitchen knife in He Tang's hand away, and kicked it in Qian Xiaohu's face.
"! Who! β
Qian Xiaohu, who was asleep, was suddenly kicked awake by a kick.
"Boss? What sugar? What are you doing in my room? β
Qian Xiaohu looked at Chen Lu and his childhood sweetheart in confusion.
And He Tang didn't answer much, just stretched out his palm and grabbed it, and Qian Xiaohu was lifted up like a little chicken.
[I wish all readers a happy Valentine's Day, a hundred years of good luck with a girlfriend, it's okay if you don't have a girlfriend, as long as you vote for a monthly ticket, you will definitely be able to find it next year! ]
Alas, Valentine's Day still has to code words. It's a hard life. γ
