Volume 2 The Turbulent Darkness Rises and the Turmoil is Unsettled Chapter 117 Night Exploration of the Mengguan Museum
The snow that stopped for less than an hour was once again overwhelming, and the cotton wool fluttered heartily, but in an instant it was a white expanse, covering the mottled green brick ground, the dark night was heavy, the snow was like Qi, and the white piece of the window paper was particularly dazzling.
The house was covered with charcoal basins, incense was lit, and it was like a bean lamp, Luo Kui was crooked on the edge of the couch and turned the book, but his thoughts were not put on the words, only a sound followed by a silent count, and his eyes looked out of the window from time to time, and he was worried that Su Zi would show his tracks with a big grin, and he was worried that the lack of experience in clove staring would reveal his tracks.
Du Heng was even more absent-mindedly fiddling with the charcoal fire, opening the curtain for a while and going out, and then coming in wrapped in a cold, scorched like ants on a hot pot, and did not stop for a moment.
Luo Kui glanced at his dejected appearance, smiled knowingly, pursed his lips, and said in his words: "Du Heng, did Su Zi bully you again, did he blackmail your monthly money, tell me, I will teach him a lesson." ”
"Ahh Du Heng was stunned, and glared at him in confusion: "What." He touched his pouch and said suspiciously: "No, the monthly money of his subordinates is here." ”
"Oh. Luo Kui stretched out the tail and let out a soft sound, the corners of his eyes were raised, and his smile was very narrow: "Then you are not thinking about Suzi, then who are you thinking about, let me guess." ”
Du Heng's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, as if he was drenched in impatiens juice: "No, no, no one, subordinates, subordinates want such a big snow, why don't they stop." ”
"yes, such a big snow, why doesn't it stop. Luo Kui smiled straight down, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of playful abuse: "Don't worry, with such a big snow, Lilac will also come back, she has no relatives and no reason in Qingzhou City, she will definitely not go far, she will definitely come back." ”
As soon as his heart was discovered, Du Heng suddenly stumbled in embarrassment: "Ah, no, no, no, subordinates are not, master, you still read your book." ”
Luo Kui smiled: "It's nothing, you are spinning around the house, and such a big snow will not stop." She raised her eyebrows at the corner of the house: "Take the umbrella, and the stone blue carved silk squirrel cloak, go to the ghost market to meet her." ”
Du Heng reached out to get the umbrella without hesitation, just grabbed the umbrella in his hand, but quickly put it back, and hesitated: "Master, is the master doing it at home?" ”
Luo Kui knew that Du Heng was embarrassed, afraid that she would have something to do at home, and was afraid that Su Zi would come back to reprimand, so he smiled and stuffed the umbrella into his arms, put the cloak on his head, and scolded with a smile: "What is not going to work, I am not a cripple, Ma Lian and they are all outside, without you, we just threw the pot and shook the dice, okay, okay, if you don't go, she should come back." ”
Du Heng was relieved at this time, took an umbrella and a cloak, and walked away in the wind and snow.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, as if someone had pierced a hole in the dark sky, and the goose feather snow was endless, and the snow in the courtyard was not as close as a person's ankle.
At three o'clock, two figures flashed outside the window, the door curtain moved slightly, and there were two more men in night clothes in the room.
Luo Kui snapped and closed the scroll, looked at the two of them fixedly, and saw that Su Zi's head and shoulders were covered with thin snow, but Kong Qing's body only saw a faint white mist, clean as if she had never gone out, she muttered silently, this is the heaven and man outside the sky, while handing Su Zi a piece of stone blue cloud brocade jacket, and said in a deep voice: "How is it, what can be found." ”
Su Zi flashed into the back of the rosewood screen, and changed his clothes in a stumbling manner: "Don't mention it, there is nothing clean about it, if it weren't for the fact that only the three of us knew about the night visit to the Indigo Meng Pavilion, I really suspect that someone reported the news in advance." ”
Luo Kui glanced at Kong Qing quietly, only to see that his expression was as frank as usual, not fake, she slowly shook her head: "If no one reports the news, then we want to left." ”
Su Zi poked out half of his head from behind the screen: "The word indigo that the girl dreamed of, if it didn't fall here, it should be those two words." ”
The dark blue cotton curtain was gently opened, the cold air was wrapped in snowflakes, and the mottled green bricks swept in, and Lilac came in with a carved red lacquer tray with a wide-mouth porcelain bowl with lotus petals, and said softly: "Master, it's late at night, just rest early with some bird's nest." ”
Luo Kui bowed slightly, took a spoon, ate bird's nest in one bite, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Jingmo can rest." ”
Ding Xiang said: "The lights in the room between Mo Gongzi and Miss Qu went out in a moment. ”
Luo Kui continued: "Today in the ghost market, there is nothing wrong. ”
Lilac shook her head and said softly: "I followed all the way, Mo Gongzi and Miss Qu just watched some gadgets, and there was nothing wrong with it." The corners of her lips snorted, and some words were on her lips, but remembering Du Heng's advice, she still swallowed it back.
Su Zi was silent for a while, only glanced at Luo Kui deeply, coughed lightly and said: "Lilac, the master has a little cough, I have already grasped the medicine, you go and fry the medicine, remember, it will be fried for an hour, and you must stare at it well." ”
Lilac said yes and bowed out.
The snow outside the window swirled and fluttered on the window lattice, and the snow flakes were mixed with frozen snow beads, and the window lattice crackled softly, and even the snow on the eaves shook a lot.
Hearing that there was no sound outside the window, Su Zicai said solemnly: "It's not for nothing tonight, I vaguely noticed that there were traces of practicing the art of the furnace ding, and there was more than one cat meow." ”
"Cats. Holding the scroll and gently tapping his palm, Luo Kui suddenly bloomed a trace of clarity: "Let's go, let's go see the girl again." ”
There are no stars and no moon on the surrounding canopy, dark and dull like a black cloth, covering the sky above the courtyard, and the bare canopy of the trees quietly melts into the night, only the snow does not stop. The moment she went out, Luo Kui's ears moved slightly, and she heard a slight sound, which was fleeting, she glanced back, and shook her head with a slight curvature of her eyebrows.
"Falling Aoi, what's wrong. Su Zi saw that her expression was different, and whispered in her ear.
Luo Kui was full of doubts, and shook his head lightly: "I clearly heard the movement in the Jingmo room, and saw a shadow of someone, and the light was also on, but if I looked closely, there was nothing, maybe I was dazzled." ”
Su Zi's eyes looked back gloomily, and he glanced at the two of them, the cat's body was on his feet, and even the creaking sound of stepping on the snow was extremely low. He slipped silently through the wall to the Jingmo window, listened for a while, and then raised his hand and waved at Luo Kui.
Luo Kui came closer, only to hear the squeak in the room for a while, like a mouse grinding his teeth, and a moment of humming and chirping as if she was sick, she listened to it for a while, and didn't hear a clue, only looked at Suzi and pointed to the room, and said in her ear: "It's a mouse." ”
Su Zi didn't say anything, he only raised his eyes and connected with the empty blue eyes, and saw his ugly expression from the empty green eyes, which was the same as his face, and knew that he didn't want to left, but it was not good to speak bluntly with Luo Kui, as if he had a breath blocked in his heart, he couldn't swallow it, and he only gritted his teeth and said: "This damn mouse, Ming'er, I went to buy rat medicine and served them in a pot, go, go and see that child first." ”
In the north room, the lights and shadows are bright, and the voices of people are low, only Lilac is here.
Luo Kui rolled up the skirt of the nameless girl, revealing her white legs, the scratches and bite marks on the legs had been white and healed, but on the intact skin, I don't know when there were red blisters, densely connected into a large piece, she sighed and shook her head slightly: "Suzi, look at it, what can you see." ”
Su Zi was slightly stunned, his eyes lit up for a moment, he raised his hand to test the heat of the girl's forehead, and said slowly: "This is, cat poison, these days, this girl will have a low-grade fever every noon, and it will subside naturally in the middle of the night, I have not been able to detect the symptoms, who would have thought that it was cat poison." ”
Kong Qing had never heard of this kind of disease, and he didn't know where this disease started, so he rashly treated it with mana, and was afraid that something would go wrong to cure the child, so he was extremely embarrassed: "I haven't heard of this disease, I really can't help it, Su Zi, you have a doctor." ”
Medical skills are Su Zi's housekeeping skills, these 30 years of practice than magic is more perfect, the world calls him the unequaled son, one is unparalleled, the other is unparalleled medical skills, scheming is just icing on the cake, as for medical skills to save people or kill people, it depends on how he was in mood at the time, he concentrated on the pen to prepare the prescription, and the words were quite complacent: "That's nature, the universal rescue poison soup plus the heart pill, keep her medicine until the disease is removed." ”
Luo Kui held a lamp and looked carefully at the girl's scars, the more she looked at it, the more heartache she felt, and she sighed with unbearable feelings: "Suzi, you just said that there are traces of practicing the art of the furnace in the Indigo Meng Pavilion, so this girl's Yin Qi has been lost, will it have anything to do with this matter." ”
Su Zi stopped his pen, tilted his head and stared: "Although the technique of the furnace is poisonous and extremely damaging to women, it is as vicious as it is in front of you, absorbing all the yin qi of women, leaving nothing behind, and it is really unheard of to harm your life." He paused slightly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes shrank coldly, and said, "No, there is an extremely poisonous one in the Furnace Ding Technique, which is called the Ding Cultivation Technique." He raised his eyebrows and looked at Kong Qing, and said with a straight face: "Young Master Qing, your family has a history, but you have heard of this technique." ”
Kong Qing was slightly stunned, nodded a little inexplicably, and shook his head very quickly, for fear that if he said half a sentence wrongly, it would cause misunderstanding, and his face was full of caution, as if he was facing the enemy without saying a word.
Seeing that he was trying his best to clean himself up, Su Zi's eyes flashed, and he also laughed solemnly: "Young Master Qing is a decent gentleman, naturally no one leads you to do that kind of dirty and unsightly thing, and you don't have the opportunity to see such a beautiful thing, do you feel a pity." ”
Kong Qing's face changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, his expression was upright without a trace of smile, and he waved his hand solemnly and said: "The technique of Daxing Furnace Ding is a taboo in cultivation, and it is to commit the anger of the public, Su Zi, don't talk nonsense." ”
