Chapter 34: The Snake Plague
The blessing ceremony was interrupted, and Zhou Tingchen, who didn't know the situation, frowned, very unhappy.
"What's the noise? This Cheng'en Temple incense continues, and every day there are also minifigures who carefully smoke around with wormwood, how can there be snakes! ”
Lin Minghua, who was standing in the forefront, didn't know what was going on, thinking that someone had misunderstood, and hurriedly stood up to preside over the overall situation.
But the concubines in the audience had never seen such a big snake, and their souls were about to be scared, where did they have the heart to listen to her?
Xu Jiu'er, who was beside Lin Zhiyu, had weak legs, and sat directly on the ground, her body trembling.
"Xiuyuan Niangniang, stand up quickly, these five-step snakes are highly poisonous!"
The snake had already swam out of the grass slowly, and Lin Minghua also stood on tiptoe to look there, and his face turned pale in an instant.
The others quickly retreated, although Lin Zhiyu was also scared in her heart, but no matter what, she couldn't leave Xu Jiu'er here alone, so she forcibly held back her fear, grabbed Xu Jiu'er's hand, and wanted to pull her up from the ground.
However, her strength was really not enough, although Xu Jiu'er also wanted to stand up, but she didn't have any strength on her hands and legs, which made Lin Zhiyu break out in a cold sweat.
The five-step snake "hissed" and spat out the letter, looking ready to go.
The venue was suddenly empty, and only Lin Zhiyu, Xu Jiu'er, and the five-step snake that didn't know when it would attack were left in the center.
Zhou Tingchen also saw the appearance of the snake, and shouted behind him:
"Let's get rid of this thing yet!"
Several of the Royal Foresters glanced at each other, and then they reacted and went to find the bag to catch the snake.
At this time, Lin Zhiyu stared at the five-step snake while dragging Xu Jiu'er back with great difficulty.
As if stimulated by something, the five-step snake suddenly rushed forward, opened its bloody mouth, and came straight to Lin Zhiyu's front door!
I don't know who dragged Lin Zhiyu behind him, Lin Zhiyu's whole center of gravity was unstable, and he fell backwards, so he barely dodged.
"Ahh
Before Lin Zhiyu could react, he heard Xu Jiu'er on the other end let out a miserable scream.
She lifted the hem of her skirt, and the two holes on her left leg were dangling, and black blood kept coming out, and Xu Jiu'er held her leg with a painful look.
"Blood, blood!"
Someone pointed to Xu Jiu'er's leg and said in a trembling voice.
Seeing this tragic situation, the abbot on the stage kept twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand:
"Amitabha, praying for blessing and seeing blood is a bad omen."
The five-step snake bit Xu Jiu'er, and it seemed that it was not enough, so it actually stood up, and the blood-red letter continued to swallow, and came in the direction of Lin Zhiyu.
The concubines screamed and pushed, eager to stay away.
In the chaos, Lin Minghua took advantage of the crowd and quietly walked towards Lin Zhiyu's position, aiming at the opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and pushed Lin Zhiyu hard.
Then he pretended that he had tripped and fell to the side, attracting everyone's attention.
"Queen Mother! Protect the Queen! ”
A group of people hurriedly pulled up Lin Minghua, completely forgetting Lin Zhiyu, who had just rushed forward.
A hint of viciousness flashed in Lin Minghua's eyes.
Lin Zhiyu, I see how you can save the day this time!
Lin Zhiyu on the other side staggered forward, raised his head, and directly met the five-step snake.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, Lin Zhiyu didn't know where he got the courage, pulled off the sachet on his body, and threw it towards the five-step snake.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Zhiyu roared behind him.
"Why are you stunned, take Xu Xiuyuan away!"
Lin Zhiyu's words reminded the gang, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs stepped forward and quickly took Xu Jiu'er to a safe place.
"Miss, get out of the way!"
Qiaoxiu, who was originally standing on the side of the palace maid, came panting, with a thick branch picked up from nowhere in her hand, and took advantage of the sachet to attract the attention of the snake, and swept straight towards it.
The snake was picked up by a branch and flew a foot away, and fell to the ground with a scarlet light with eyes the size of green beans.
The five-step snake was obviously annoyed by Qiaoxiu's movements, and it quickly adjusted its posture, opened its mouth and began to launch the next round of attacks on Qiaoxiu.
Qiaoxiu's eyes were calm, and she directly poked the branch forward, directly into the throat of the snake, and the branch was immediately stained with dark brown blood.
"The Guards are here!"
A group of people consciously gave way to the way, and when they saw the beast in a bag, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Younan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pool of blood on the ground, and an extremely strong sense of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes:
"Blood, Bao'er, you see, there's a lot of blood there, just like that day......"
She looked at her hands, her whole body was constantly trembling, although her hands were clean, but Zhuang Younan seemed to see something that she couldn't avoid, and her hands were grasping something in the air.
Bao'er was startled, and hurriedly hugged Zhuang Younan and took her to the wing room where she was going to rest:
"Concubine Jia is frightened, let someone get some soothing soup!"
Then he stroked Zhuang Younan's back like coaxing a child: "It's all gone, it's okay, it's okay, we're safe." ”
Although everyone had doubts, Zhuang Younan's health had always been bad, so they didn't take it to heart, and they all went to their respective rooms to rest with the support of the palace maids.
If something like this happens, the blessing thing will naturally not be over.
Lin Zhiyu didn't go to the wing room to rest, but went directly to Xu Jiu'er's side.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the palace maid coming out with basins of blood and water, which was shocking.
"How is Xu Xiuyuan?"
The accompanying imperial doctor kept wiping the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and said: "This toxicity is menacing, although they have tried to force the poisonous blood out, but they can't guarantee that there is still residual poison in the body, Xiu Yuan Niangniang is now having a high fever, and the situation is really not very optimistic." ”
Lin Zhiyu entered the inner room and saw Xu Jiu'er, who was covered in sweat, but his lips were blue, and there was no blood, lying on the bed like that, and the scene in front of him gradually overlapped with the picture of Xu Jiu'er when he was dying in the previous life.
Why? Why?
thought that Xu Jiu'er would be able to live well without entering the palace, but fate once again pushed her into the abyss of death, and even advanced the time a lot.
Lin Zhiyu's whole body went limp, pulled the sleeve of the imperial doctor, and begged several times: "Please, please save her, she is still so young......"
The imperial doctor was startled, and was about to help Lin Zhiyu up, but he smelled an extremely special fragrance.
He frowned, then leaned in and sniffed closer.
"Dare to ask the eldest girl, what kind of incense did you use today?"
