Chapter 14 The Cave

On the soft red hospital bed, a delicate body was unconscious and pale.

Gongsun sat on the edge of the couch, one hand lightly on the wrist of the person on the bed, while closing his eyes slightly, and was diagnosing the pulse.

Behind him, Ling Miaoyin, Xue Tianhan, Huo Yuanji, Tang Fengling, Bai Fan and others all watched his movements, showing anxiety.

"Gongsun, how is it?" Finally, Tang Fengling couldn't hold back anymore and asked Gongsun.

I saw Gongsun gently lift Xuan Xihao's wrist, put it back in the quilt, stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a slight smile: "Fortunately, you sealed her eight meridians in time and curbed the operation of the toxin." Now as long as you take the antidote, there is no problem. ”

"Really, that's great!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

But it didn't take long for Tang Fengling to poke her head out of the door and look out, and said, "Didn't you already tell the post man of the pavilion to go outside to grab medicine, why hasn't he come back yet?"

The words fell, but I saw a figure rushing from the gate of the pavilion.

Seeing this, Tang Fengling thought that the Yicheng who bought the medicine had returned, and couldn't help but be happy: "Great!

"Xuan Xi!

The figure outside shouted hurriedly, like a ghost, to the side of the sickbed where Xuan Xi was lying in the room.

At the same time, everyone in the house found out that the original person who came was not Yicheng, but Chen Yutian!!

"Xuanxi ......"

Looking at the beautiful woman with a pale face and lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Chen Yutian's heart was filled with an indescribable bitter taste.

This taste is called sadness.

Also called, self-reproach.

If she hadn't let her get in touch with the old woman who shouted injustice, maybe she wouldn't be what she is now.

On the way back, Chen Yutian thought about these more than once in his heart, and he fell into deep self-blame!

And at this moment, seeing Xuan Xi lying unconscious on the bed, the self-blame in his heart reached its peak.

"I'm sorry......" He knelt on the ground, looked at Xuan Xi, and whispered.

"You don't need to say these ......"

Suddenly, a hand gently patted Chen Yutian's shoulder, and an indifferent word echoed in his ears in a low voice.

Chen Yutian was slightly stunned, raised his head, looked up along the hand on his shoulder, and saw a snow-white robe sleeve, behind the robe sleeve, there was a familiar pretty face.

It's snowy!

"You don't need to apologize, she's to protect the victim......"

The words stopped and stopped, as if they were not finished, but Chen Yutian obviously understood the meaning of his words.

Seeing that he hesitated for a long time, he finally stood up from the ground, and immediately nodded and smiled at Xue Tianhan.

Xue Tianhan also nodded slightly.

"Gongsun, how is Xuan Xi's injury?" Chen Yutian turned around and asked Gongsun.

"Basically, it's fine, as long as you take the antidote, it's fine. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and a trace of extremely obvious relaxation flashed in his eyes.

But then, he asked, "What about the antidote?"

"I've found someone to go out and buy it. As Gongsun was talking, he suddenly saw a figure running in from the gate in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Sir, sir, the medicine you asked for has been bought." ”

I saw a post man, trotted all the way into the room, and handed a large bag of medicinal herbs in his hand to Gongsun.

After Gongsun took the medicinal herbs, he checked them and asked, "Have you bought all the medicinal herbs?"

Yi Cheng shook his head, "No." Sir, on top of the prescription you gave me, almost all the medicinal materials can be bought in pharmacies, but only this exquisite grass, I went to several pharmacies, but I never found it. ”

"Linglong grass?" Gongsun was slightly stunned.

"Exactly. ”

Gongsun wondered, "No, this Linglong grass is not a rare medicinal material, how can it not be bought?"

"This, the little ones don't know. Yi Cheng shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.

Gongsun waved his hand and asked Yi Cheng to step down.

After Yi Cheng left, Gongsun said: "Since you can't buy Linglong grass, you can only go up the mountain to collect medicine." I had already checked the local chronicles of this place before I came, and this medicine is quite common in the mountains, so it should not be difficult to find. ”

"Oh, is it?"

Gongsun nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Yutian smiled, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the mountains to pick a few and come back." ”

"You?" Gongsun was slightly taken aback, looked at Chen Yutian, and was slightly suspicious, "Do you know what Linglong grass looks like?"

"I don't know, but if you give me a copy of the illustrated book. Don't worry, I'll definitely get the herbs back. Chen Yutian said with a smile.

Gongsun looked at him for a long time, then nodded slightly, and then handed him a piece of paper, "This is the illustrated book of Linglong grass, you must collect the medicinal herbs before tonight, otherwise the princess's life will be in danger." ”

Chen Yutian nodded solemnly, then took the illustrated book and left the pavilion.

From the moment he stood up just now, he had already figured it out.

Xuan Xi was poisoned, something had already happened, and even if he blamed himself, it was useless.

And apart from self-blame, there are only two things I can do! Do my best to detoxify it and ......

The flower butterflies that caused the poison in it...... Bring somebody to justice!

Looking at the back of Chen Yutian's departure, several people in the room breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.

Since Chen Yutian personally went to the mountains to collect medicine, then the matter of Xuanxi's poisoning was basically solved, and then as long as Chen Yutian picked the last medicinal herb and made it into an antidote for her to take, it would be fine.

"So...... Next, it's time for us to take a look at what's inside this purse. ”

A moment later, Tang Fengling took out the purse that had been stolen from her arms.

Then, both of them were stunned!

I saw that the purse in front of me was pink, and on it, it was embroidered with a brilliant lotus flower, the lotus flower was white as a whole, but it was a little goose yellow, dotted among them.

The style of this purse seems to be quite ...... Girl.

"Uh...... Feng Ling, are you sure...... This was stolen from the flower butterfly's body?" Ling Miaoyin looked at it for a while, and there was a slight strangeness in her expression.

"It should ...... That's right!"

Tang Fengling was also embarrassed at the moment, but she was still sure that she hadn't stolen anything from anyone today except for stealing a purse from Hua Butterfly.

"This flower butterfly...... Could it be ......"

Thinking of the flower butterfly's completely man-like body shape, the strange color on Ling Miaoyin's face was even stronger, and even, there was this disgust that was difficult to hide, which flashed in his eyes.

"Forget it, whatever he is, let's see what is in here first!"

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Tang Fengling opened her purse under the completely unknown gaze of Shuangxiu and Gongsun Sanshuang.

There were not many things in the purse, except for some broken silver, only a few folded pieces of paper.

Tang Fengling opened it and saw that the top piece of paper was divided into two rows, the upper row was basically full of names, and the lower row was written with some words such as "Twenty Wen" and "Three Taels".

What's even more strange is that three of the names have been ticked off with a red pen, as if they were making marks.

"It's ......"

Seeing the content on this piece of paper, Gongsun and Xue Tianhan, their eyes suddenly flashed.

......

......

The rain came very suddenly.

Obviously, the sky was still clear, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered by large dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark!

Crackling!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning broke through the sky! Immediately after, a heavy rain came down in a sparse manner.

In an instant, the rain enveloped all directions.

Heaven and earth, wash for it!!

Chen Yutian stood in the cave, looking at the pouring rain outside the cave, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I found such a cave, otherwise, I would have been a soup chicken.

With this in mind, Chen Yutian walked towards the depths of the cave.

Looking at this situation, this rain should not stop for a while.

Chen Yutian walked towards the depths of the cave, looking around the situation along the way, and as he walked, he suddenly stopped.

For some reason, he always felt that what he saw along the way in this cave seemed to be ...... Something quirky.

But what is strange, I can't say for a while. Seem...... It's just a feeling.

"Perhaps...... It's because I'm too careful......"

Chen Yutian smiled self-deprecatingly, and then walked deeper into the cave.

However, when he came to the deepest part of the cave and saw the scene in it, he was suddenly stunned!

"It's ......"

I saw that on the wall of the cave, there were two huge characters engraved on it.

Revenge!!

The handwriting is a little messy, and there is not only one group, but the entire cave wall, densely packed, almost all of which are these two words.

It's like a person, holding a stone in his hand, keeps writing these two words on this wall, in order to vent the monstrous hatred in his heart!!

Yes, monstrous hatred!!

From the handwriting on the wall, he could clearly feel that this hatred was so profound.

Looking at this handwriting, it seems to ...... From the hand of a woman......" Chen Yutian looked at the messy word "revenge" on the wall, and touched his chin slightly.

He could imagine a delicate woman standing in front of this stone wall, writing these two words over and over again. Every stroke and every painting of her seems to contain the hatred in her heart!!

"Where does her hatred come from?"

Looking at the handwriting on the stone wall, Chen Yutian fell into deep thought.

......

......

The strange paper that Tang Fengling found in the flower butterfly purse immediately attracted the attention of Gongsun and Xue Tianhan, and after carefully reading the contents of the paper, they directly determined it: that paper should be the missing page of the account book in the Hakka Village.

"The missing page of the account book of the Hakka Residence......" Bai Fan looked at the two strangely.

"That's right, when I was investigating in the guest village before, didn't the abacus of Shopkeeper Lin suddenly fall to the ground?"

"Definitely. ”

"It was at that time that the account book turned the wrong page, and it just happened to us to find that in that account book, there were traces of missing pages, but soon, the shopkeeper of Nalin turned the page again. Gongsun explained.

"I see, so this page is the one that is missing from the account book?" Huo Yuanji suddenly pointed to the page of the account book on the table and asked.

"Not bad. ”

Ling Miaoyin asked, "But, why is this piece of paper in the purse of the flower butterfly?"

Gongsun smiled bitterly and said, "This ...... I don't know, but if you think about it carefully, since this piece of paper will appear in the purse of the flower butterfly, it is enough to show that the guest village residence must be related to this killer. ”

Listening to Gongsun's explanation, Ling Miaoyin's gaze inadvertently fell on the paper on the table, in addition to the page of the account book, there were two pieces of paper in the purse of the flower butterfly.

These two pieces of paper are also full of names, but the difference is that there are five names on one of the sheets, which have been crossed with a red pen.

"Speaking of which...... There's a familiar name on this list!"

Bai Fan stretched out his hand and picked up the list with a vermilion cross, pointed to one of the crossed-out names, and said unhurriedly.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

I saw the name it was referring to, and it was Li Ren.

"Li Ren, this ...... Isn't that the name of the corpse we picked up?" Gongsun was taken aback, and then his expression changed greatly, "It's difficult...... Is it ......?"

"Hmm. Bai Fan nodded, "This is very likely, it is a death list." Flower Butterfly, he is very likely to be killing people according to this list. ”

Everyone was amazed!!

In this way, then there are already five names on this list with crosses, which means ......

Four more people were also killed!!

"Not only that, do you see, the two names on this list are also familiar?"

At this time, Xue Tianhan picked up the second list with nothing marked, pointed to two of the names and asked everyone.

Hearing his words, everyone looked over and saw the two names he was referring to, one was called Lin Ming, and the other was called Wang Yun!

"Lin Ming, this ...... Isn't this the name of Shopkeeper Lin?" Bai Fan was slightly stunned.

Gongsun nodded slightly, "Not bad." And I remember the name Wang Yun, it seems to be the guy who ran the hall, right?"

"Yes, that's the name. Xue Tianhan nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Ling Miaoyin, who was confused on the side, finally understood what they were talking about.

"In other words, this Lin Ming and Wang Yun, like Li Ren, are both from that inn?"

"Not bad. ”

"But it's strange, they are obviously from the same inn, but why do they appear in two completely different lists, and it seems that that list is not the death list. ”

Ling Miaoyin raised her own questions.

And when everyone heard this, they all had doubts about it.

It's a little strange why people from the same place appear on two different lists, or are there differences between the two lists that no one else knows?

Gongsun thought about it, his eyes inadvertently lowered, and he saw the page of the account book in his hand, and when he saw the red pen marks on it, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind!

"Isn't it ......"
