The pain in his wrist invaded, and Xiao Mu woke up from his deep sleep. On the desk is Liu Xunyin's special sandalwood incense, and there are still a few wisps of smoke. Thanks to it, Xiao Mu had a rare good night's sleep last night.

How long has it been since I dreamed about something old?

After all, Ah Mo has been gone for seven years, and it has been so long since he joined Yun Lonely Gate. Xiao Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his hand and touched his head. The bruise on the wrist had subsided a lot, and he was able to turn slightly. This Liu girl is really superb in medical skills.

"Xiao Mu!" he opened the door, and Tang Qiqi's tray almost knocked over on top of him.

"Miss Tang, what time is this? Xiao Mu clasped his arms around his chest and smiled: "Why did you come to visit me early in the morning." ”

"It's already late, aren't you going to come with us? Tang Qiqi handed him the tray, and Xiao Mu shook his bandaged hand aggrievedly.

"Sister Liu fried Qili San for you, saying that it can invigorate blood circulation. Tang Qiqi put the tray on the table: "You clean up after drinking, and go to Brother Wen's room to find us." ”

"Miss Tang kills without blinking, and she gets along quite gently. Xiao Mu smiled.

"It's just that you're useful, and when I find Senior Liu, I'll take your life in minutes. Tang Qiqi struck him in the chest.

Xiao Mu flashed sideways, with a sly smile in his eyes: "Then it depends on how capable Miss Tang is, Xiao will wait and see." ”

"Miss Liu, Ember Wen. After cleaning up, Xiao Mu walked into the room and greeted.

Liu Xunyin gently pinched his wrist: "It's much better, as long as you pay attention to rest and lift less heavy objects, you can return to normal in two weeks." ”

"Xiao Mu, since you want to go all the way, let's familiarize yourself with the route first. Wen Shen spread out the map: "Miss Tang has experience from southern Xinjiang, and thinks that it takes the shortest time to travel all the way from Xiangyang City to the northwest. What do you think?"

"Let's take a diversion, let's go up the southwest route. Xiao Mu pointed out several provinces of Huguiyun on the map with his hand: "In this way, we can go to Kunlun." ”

"Why do you say change it? Tang Qiqi said dissatisfiedly: "This will take at least a month more on the road." ”

"Yang Ke, the owner of Meiyin Mountain Villa, is going back to run for the sect leader, don't you want to go and see the excitement?" Xiao Mu shook his fan and smiled.

"Xiao Gongzi, this is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, everyone has something important to do. Liu Xunyin said.

"Ember, what do you think? Xiao Mu looked at Wen Yan.

"Senior Liu's whereabouts are uncertain, so it's better to arrive as soon as possible. Ember said.

Xiao Mu put away the folding fan: "It is precisely because of his uncertain whereabouts that we can't guarantee that he is still near the Tianshan Mountain." Sixteen years ago, he disappeared while traveling by water, and most of the information provided by the informant was concentrated in the southern area. We may be able to get more clues along this route. ”

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Xiao Mu said: "Miss Liu, your father has disappeared for so many years, whether it is active or passive, at least it means that there is no danger to life. It's not bad for a month. ”

"Good. Liu Xunyin hesitated for a while and agreed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't blame the villain for being too talkative. If you go to Hunan, don't go to Xiangxi, it's been very weird lately. Xiao Er listened to a few words when he came to add tea, and said cautiously.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Mu opened the fan.

"You don't know, the maiden home is in Xiangxi. A few days ago, my father-in-law suddenly came to me with all his belongings. It is said that the people there are all bizarre poisoning, dead and wounded, and the death is extremely tragic. ”

"Do you know the specific symptoms?" Liu Xunyin was taken aback, put down the teacup and asked seriously.

"Oh, don't mention it, it's scary. Some people are crazy and moody, and they beat people when they see them; some people are so itchy all over their bodies that they blister at the slightest scratch, and a large piece of lice crawls out of their wounds; and the most terrifying ones are those who have pain in their chest and abdomen, swollen abdomen like urns, and finally bleed to death through seven holes. ”

"Tsk. Xiao Mu touched his neck when he heard this, and goosebumps all over his body.

"Everyone's symptoms are different?" Liu Xunyin wondered, "Since it's not contagious, I don't think it's a plague." Qiqi, you have a lot of research on poisons, do you know where it started?"

"It sounds like it's not poison, it's Gu. Tang Qiqi frowned.

"What do you say? ”

"I know a thing or two about poisons. Tang Qiqi lowered his head and thought: "The above are very similar to the symptoms of being hit by a mad Gu, lice Gu and golden silkworm Gu. ”

When the girl said that, I remembered. Xiangxi is inhabited by the Miao people, and the people there are the best at making Gu poison. But it's so decent, how can you do it to the people?" Xiao Er scratched his head: "This is also too strange. ”

"It doesn't have to be done by the Miao people, is there still less people who kill people with knives?" Wen Yan said: "It is easiest to hide people's eyes and ears when they play Gu in Xiangxi. ”

Liu Xunyin frowned, Tang Qiqi knew her better, and gently held her hand and asked, "Sister, do you want to take a look?"

"Hmm. Liu Xunyin nodded: "It's a pity that I have only read one or two of Gu poison-related diseases in medical books, and I am not 100% sure about curing them." ”

"I'm not going, in case it's not worth losing my life, let's take a detour. Xiao Mu hurriedly refused.

"Searching for sound. Wen Ember called in a low voice, "If you want to go, I'll accompany you." ”

"If you insist on going, you can bring some alum or raw black beans. When my father-in-law ran away from there, his pocket was full of these two things. ”

"What are you doing with these?" Xiao Mu asked suspiciously.

"Alum and raw black beans have a bitter taste and are difficult to swallow. Legend has it that if someone chews these two things and feels sweet, they have fallen into Gu. Tang Qiqi replied.

"Does it really work?"

Tang Qiqi shook his head: "I can't be sure." The difference between the poison of the Miao people and the Valley of Forgetting Worries is that if you don't know the source of the poison, there is no solution. ”

Tang Wuwu let out a crisp cry in the cradle, Xiao Mu walked over and hugged him and coaxed him, and the child reached out and grabbed his chin.

"What a clever child. Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to take him with you?" Xiangxi is surrounded by mountains and mountains, surrounded by miasma. The baby is delicate and frail, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stand it. ”

"Xiao Gongzi, this child has no father or mother, so he can only be taken care of by us temporarily and sent to the Valley of Forgotten Worries. Liu Xunyin said.

"If you can trust me, let me send it. We stopped and walked all the way, and we were afraid that we would have to delay for a long time. ”

There are indeed many changes along the way, and worry-free follow-up may not be safe. Liu Xunyin hesitated a little and asked, "Qiqi, what do you think?"

"I can't trust him. Tang Qiqi snatched Wu Wu back: "His subordinates are not good people in the first place, if the child is abducted and sold into some deep mountains and old forests, won't he fall into the mouth of the tiger again." ”

"Miss Tang, rest assured, my subordinates are strong in martial arts and loyal. Xiao Mu whistled, and a middle-aged man wearing a mask flew in from the window. The other party is athletic, more than eight feet tall, Wen Ember looked at it for a moment, and always felt a little familiar.

"Yu Feng, if you have done a good job, this child will be handed over to you to be sent to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, and there must be no mistake. ”

Yu Feng Wen Yan frowned.

"Childe, the master of the door has an order, let me protect you inch by inch......" Yu Feng was embarrassed.

"But he also said, let you obey my arrangement and adapt to the situation. Now I command you to escort this child, and you will do so. Xiao Mu turned around and asked, "Miss Tang, do you have any tokens that can prove your identity?" ”

Tang Qiqi took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and handed it to him: "You just tell my grandfather, this is his great-grandson." ”

Then her arm trembled slightly, and she used her fingertips to force out the poisonous blood in her body, and slapped Xiao Mu heavily with lightning speed. Xiao Mu was beaten back a few steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Childe!" Yu Feng screamed and held him up.

"As long as you take the antidote regularly, this cold poison will not kill people, but it will suffer some hardships every stormy night. When the child reaches the Valley of Forgotten Worries safely, I will untie it for you. Tang Qiqi said.

"Good. Xiao Mu responded happily.

"Now!" Yu Feng drew his knife and pointed at her, "Otherwise, I will kill you." ”

Xiao Mu stopped him and signaled that everything was fine: "The person who poisoned him and the divine doctor are all around, I can't die." ”

Yu Feng did not intend to loosen, but approached Tang Qiqi step by step with a knife.

"Yu Feng, don't you even listen to my orders?" Xiao Mu said sharply.

Yu Feng reluctantly put the knife into the scabbard: "Childe, if you make any mistakes, I can't escape the blame." ”

"Don't worry, I'll write to the door owner to explain the situation, and I can't blame you. But if something happens to this kid, I can't spare you. ”

"Yes. Yu Feng looked embarrassed and agreed.

Liu Xunyin packed the child's food and clothing, repeatedly told him some precautions, and reluctantly handed the child into his hands.

"Rest assured, girl, as long as I live, I won't let others hurt this child in the slightest. Yu Feng bowed, turned to Xiao Mu and said, "Take care, son." ”

"Let's go. Xiao Mu shook his fan.

"Did he follow us all the way?" asked Wen Ember with a frown as the wind left.

"Nope. Xiao Mu smiled: "He just followed me all the way." ”

"Are there any other hidden subordinates?"

"Don't worry, it's just that. How can a subordinate like him be so easy to find. ”

"Yu Feng is the right-hand man of the door master, what is your identity, you can actually mobilize him. Ember asked.

"He made a mistake and was punished by the master of the door and followed me. ”

"Something was committed. ”

"Ember Wen, I advise you to know less. Pretending to be deaf and dumb is the only way to protect yourself. Xiao Mu put away the fan.

"Ah Yan, what do you want to say just now?" After everyone went back to the room to pack their luggage, Liu Xunyin grabbed Wen Yan.

"It's still impossible to determine whether Xiao Mu is friend or foe. When I went downstairs early in the morning, I saw that he had given Xiao Er a few pieces of silver. He is clearly leading us in one direction, and I wonder if there is any other motive. ”

"He's a strange person, but for now, there's no danger. Liu Xunyin said: "Let's observe it again, he has been poisoned by the cold, and he doesn't dare to act rashly." ”

"Good. Ember replied.
