Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Wound
The courtyard where Aunt Liu lives is located in the northwest of the mansion, and it is a long way to walk. On the way, Zheng Tiezhu's family followed behind Jia Xuan, and from time to time, people passed by, and while greeting Jia Xuan, they didn't forget to glance at Zheng Tiezhu's family.
In the past, the subordinates in this mansion were not so inappropriate. Jia Xuan thought like this and quickened his pace.
Jia Xuan has a pair of cards given by the Marquis of Jinxiang, don't say that the back house is everywhere, even the front yard can be obtained at any time. And everyone in this house knows her, and they don't stop her when they see her.
Most of the aunts live in the same compound with two or three of them. There are two concubines who live with Aunt Liu, and they take their concubines and underage concubines to live in the front of this courtyard, the west chamber and the east chamber respectively.
Aunt Liu has a concubine, who is in her teens this year, and she has heard that her homework is good. Because she gave birth to a son, she lived in the positive room. Now that her son has moved to the outer courtyard because he is older, Aunt Liu's house has two vacant rooms, one of which has been cleaned up for guests.
Jia Xuan entered the reception room. Looking around, the arrangement is quite neat and exquisite, there is a vase on the windowsill, and the vase is inserted with flowers, and the edges of the petals are slightly wilted, obviously not picked this morning.
Zheng Tiezhu's family found someone to call Cuixiang. After a while, a plainly dressed maid walked in and said, "I've seen Miss Xuan." ”
Jia Xuan beckoned her to him: "I heard that you have been bitten by something?" Does it still hurt? ”
Cuixiang heard that Miss Xuan called her, and she thought about countless possibilities, but she didn't expect this to be the case, and hurriedly said, "It doesn't hurt." ”
"Can you lift your clothes and show me the wound?"
Cuixiang looked back at Zheng Tiezhu's house guarding the door, and said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid that those places are not good-looking, and they will stain the girl's eyes." ”
Zheng Tiezhu's family said: "If the girl thinks it will be dazzling, why bother to ask this time?" It's just that Mrs. Fang died of fever because of the wounds gnawed by rats, and the girl took pity on us, and I heard that you also had these injuries on your body, so I took a special look at you. You'd better take Joe in front of Miss Xuan. ”
Cuixiang didn't expect such a scene, the mother-in-law actually died, and hurriedly opened her clothes to show Jia Xuan: "I have been bitten in a dozen places, only two are deeper and wider, but it is okay." After thinking about it, he changed his words: "It's okay to look at, but it often itches and hurts, and I don't know if it's tight or not." ”
Jia Xuan stepped forward. Zheng Tiezhu's family took the candle flame and illuminated it brighter. The scars were scattered on the upper legs of the back, and most of them were near the shoulders and calves.
It looks like a bug has penetrated and bitten through the neckline or trouser hem.
Because these wounds are on a living person, they have not decayed and suppurated, and they are more realistic.
Jia Xuan looked at it carefully, and then thought about it in combination with his previous question.
At that time, after the Marquis of Jinxiang agreed to report to the official, she went to the outer courtyard and asked the little maid who went out with Hong Wenchang if anyone followed Hong Wenchang every time.
Because the control time of the first-level Gu worm is not too long, there is no way to maintain it for too long. If you want Hong Wenchang to maintain the state of "you can enter the casino and go to the smoking field", you have to continue to control him for a long time, so that he can't sober up when he does these bastard things. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have left immediately.
However, the result of the questioning was that no one followed him every time.
That's kind of weird.
In that case, how did the Gu Master control Hong Wenchang? Could it be that Hong Wenchang really did not control it, but voluntarily?
Jia Xuan believes that Shizi is not such a person. Then, that wicked man must have some special means that can make the Gu worm use means to control Hong Wenchang for a long time.
So at this moment, when she observed the wounds on Cuixiang's body, combined with the purpose of the wicked, she considered all possibilities.
Suddenly, she thought of the Red Scorpion Gu.
The marks on Cuixiang's body in front of him were similar to cuts, and if you look at them like this, they look very much like the pincers of the red scorpion Gu that were left by cutting off the flesh.
And the red scorpion Gu can secrete toxins, which paralyzes the spirit of people who are infected by toxins, which may cause hallucinations. If the toxin is secreted too much, it can last for a long time if it is left in Hong Wenchang's body and slowly dissipated.
The wounds of these wounded were all caused by the wicked people who used to feed the red scorpion Gu.
The reason why that person used human flesh to feed the Red Scorpion Gu was to make the toxins spit out by the Red Scorpion Gu more effective when used on the human body.
But here's the problem, Gu masters who are good at using toxins are often exposed to toxins, and their appearance will be more or less different from ordinary people. Even if it's not particularly obvious, someone will notice it over time.
Why doesn't anyone notice that someone around them is abnormally looking? Is the man hiding deeply, or does he not live in the house?
If he didn't live in the Hou Mansion and only appeared when he wanted to hurt Hong Wenchang, there must be someone in the Mansion to assist him in feeding the Gu worms. So who will be the helper? Why didn't the Red Scorpion Gu hurt the people who helped?
Jia Xuan thought about it like this, pointed to the flowers on the window and asked Cuixiang: "You picked these these?" ”
"Exactly." Cui Xiang replied, "My aunt often sees other aunts in this house, talks to them, and arranges their behavior in the yard, so that I can pick some flowers and plant them every few days." ”
Jia Xuan couldn't help but smile.
This Aunt Liu is quite good at posing, but she is also a concubine, but she was born in this small courtyard and became a grandmother's money.
At this time, a maid was outside and said, "Miss Xuan, Aunt Liu has just rested when I heard that you are coming, and she has just gotten up and is dressing." If you're okay, you might as well wait for her a little longer, and she'll be dressed up to greet you. ”
"No need." Jia Xuan didn't plan to stay longer or see her, not to mention that the person didn't really want to get up and go here, so he said: "I'm just here to see Cuixiang, there's nothing to do, and let her sleep in peace." ”
Before leaving, Jia Xuan did not forget to tell Cuixiang: "Don't use those messy things to smear the wounds." I'll get someone to make some medicine and I'll bring it to you. Just apply the ointment I gave you. ”
Cuixiang was so grateful that she couldn't wait to kowtow and thank you.
Her wounds never healed, and blood and pus were slowly flowing over and over again. No matter how long the wound is, it still looks like it has just been bitten, and at most it has added a little pus, which is really scary.
Jia Xuan walked out of the courtyard.
On the way, she said to Zheng Tiezhu's family: "When I go back later, you look for Mother Zhu, and say that I want some ointment to treat injuries, and let her find some for you." You bring it all to me, I'll see if it's suitable, and if it's suitable, you can send it to Cuixiang. Remember, you have to get the ointment to me first. ”
