Chapter 55: The Vanishing Goddess
As the referee announced, Zhou Xiao rushed to the ring at the same time as the doctor.
The doctor hurriedly rescued the goddess, and Zhou Xiao brought a blanket to cover the goddess who was rolling her eyes and convulsions, in case her embarrassed appearance was seen again, and took off her stockings to wipe her body clean.
After rescuing her for a while, the goddess finally woke up, but her face immediately showed a painful expression, and the muscles in her stomach twitched again, and she passed out again.
"Doctor, how is she. Zhou Xiao asked anxiously.
"Judging from the pulse, it is poisoned, and this poison is so powerful that I am afraid it ......"
"I'm afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid it's going to be hard to save. ”
"No way, she's in good health, she'll definitely be saved. ”
"Hey, her body is very good, but unfortunately I can't do anything about it after being poisoned and suffering serious internal injuries. ”
The doctor shook his head, and just silently helped Zhou Xiao carry the goddess into a carriage.
The carriage galloped and went to the best medical hall in the capital, the goddess convulsed again in the carriage, and Zhou Xiao hugged the goddess tightly, wanting to give her already cold body a trace of warmth.
Seeing the goddess twitching helplessly in his arms, he didn't know what to do, he had seen the perfection and strength of the goddess, he regarded the goddess as a real goddess in his heart, and had long forgotten that she was just a mortal after all.
The carriage finally arrived at the hospital, and Zhou Xiao handed over all the money he earned from gambling to the doctor, so that he would do his best to save it.
The doctor frowned after looking at the situation, and reluctantly nodded in agreement for the sake of the silver's face.
Then the goddess was pushed into the emergency room, and the doctor sealed several of her large points with silver needles, and hung herself with ginseng.
The doctor told Zhou Xiao that he could only rely on rare medicinal materials to temporarily keep her breath, but the number of rare medicinal materials was limited, and even if he had money, he might not be able to buy them, so he could make plans early.
Hearing what the doctor said, Zhou Xiao remembered the medicinal materials he had obtained from Jiazi Cave, which happened to be ginseng. Some of the medicinal herbs were secretly hidden by him at home, so he immediately set off to the post station, and hurried to deliver a letter to Dr. Hu Shen, asking him to go to his home immediately to bring all the secret ginseng.
When he was done with these things, he rushed to the infirmary without stopping, but when he returned to the infirmary, the goddess was gone.
Zhou Xiao was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly found the doctor who treated the goddess, he pulled the doctor's collar and asked excitedly: "Where has the goddess gone!"
The doctor gave him a strange look and said a little strangely, "Goddess? ”
"It's the patient I just sent in, the woman you rescued with ginseng. ”
"Didn't you just get hysteria and be rescued by a knight surnamed Liu?"
"The surname is Liu? Liu Da understands? Impossible, just now I obviously sent a woman in to rescue me, how could it be to rescue me?"
"Hey, it seems that your hysteria is still not good, when you were sent in by him, you kept shouting the goddess in your mouth, and no one told you to agree, and finally used some medicine to calm you down, and after a while you ran out by yourself. ”
"I ran out on my own, where did the goddess go?"
"Why don't you understand, there are no goddesses at all, only you and the chivalrous man surnamed Liu. ”
Zhou Xiao shook his head desperately, thinking about everything that happened today, everything in front of him was unreal, and after calming down for a while, he suddenly asked, "Then where is the chivalrous man surnamed Liu?"
"He saw that you had just run out, and he had run out to look for you, and he had not come back yet. ”
"I see. ”
Zhou Xiao's eyes were like torches, he seemed to have figured out everything, it turned out that the reason why the Thieves Alliance was so calm these days was because he had already sent an undercover agent to hide by his side.
The Liu Da who suddenly appeared understood that there must be a problem!
Everything, the poisoning, including the disappearance of the goddess, everything must have something to do with him!
Zhou Xiao left the hospital and returned to the inn, he did not check out, but paid for the room in advance for a month, and instructed the store to wait for a doctor named Hu Wanchun here, and asked him to bring a note to Miss Zhuxiang.
Then he changed into the clothes of the catcher, took the coil and the guard knife, and walked quickly to the city gate.
When he came to the city gate, he immediately told Liu Da to understand his appearance and listen to the guards guarding the city, and the guards guarding the city saw that he was dressed in a fast dress and was naturally very cooperative, and as expected, Liu Da understood that he had already gone out of the city.
Zhou Xiao didn't have time to hesitate and rushed out in the direction pointed by the guard.
As he ran after him, he was alienated from the whole thing, which of the things just now were true and which were false? Was the goddess really beaten to incontinence in the ring? Everything was foggy, and he couldn't let go of it, in fact, he only needed to ask someone who had been to the scene of the Martial God test to at least determine whether the goddess had failed miserably under Sha Fei's hands, but he would rather keep a trace of doubt than confirm the cruel reality.
After chasing for an hour, he saw a mountain and wild teahouse on the side of the road, Zhou Xiao thought that he had chased along the road for so long and had not seen any trace of Liu Daqing, so he went to the teahouse to inquire.
"Is the guest going to have tea or asking for directions?"
The shopkeeper of the teahouse was obviously very good at observing words and feelings, and he could see at a glance that Zhou Xiao might want to ask for directions.
"Ask for directions. ”
"Don't be in a hurry to ask for directions, our store is located in the middle of nowhere, there is no place to drink water within two hundred miles here, please have a cup of tea first." ”
Zhou Xiao asked for directions, and immediately took out the silver to buy a bowl of tea.
"Now you can ask. ”
"I'm not busy, seeing the guest officer's dress, I probably guessed who you want to ask, so it's not too late to drink this cup of tea first. ”
Zhou Xiao thought about it, and he was indeed a little thirsty when he ran for a long time, so he raised the teacup to drink, and when the teacup was raised to his mouth, he suddenly remembered what the doctor had just said.
He has hysteria and doesn't know it, obviously he was also poisoned, but when did the other party get poisoned? They haven't been out eating and drinking recently, so they must have been moving their hands and feet under their noses, if Liu Da understands that he can poison them in front of their eyes without being discovered, then when he passes by this tea stall, will he be poisoned in the same way? And the owner of this tea stall insists on letting him drink tea, will he be in the same league as Liu Da Ming?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao's hand suddenly stopped, and when he saw that no one was around, he suddenly grabbed the collar of the tea stall owner.
"What are you doing here, officer? The owner of the tea stall said in a panic.
"What are you doing, your tea is poisonous. ”
"What are you kidding, I've been here for more than ten years, and who doesn't know my sixth tea person. ”
"Then let me ask you, has a man dressed as a knight dressed in coarse white clothes passing by here?"
Yes, he continued along the road. ”
"Really?"
"yes. ”
"Then thank you very much, please drink this cup of tea. ”
"Oh, don't. ”
After speaking, Zhou Xiao patted the back of the boss's head, and when the boss opened his mouth, a cup of tea was poured in.
Zhou Xiao pinched the boss's mouth to prevent him from spitting out, and after a while, he saw that the boss's eyes really dissipated.
"Who are you?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"I, Lao Liu. ”
"Aren't you the sixth tea lady?"
"Ah, Liu and Liu are almost the same, everyone is used to it. ”
"Then do you know that Liu Da understands this person?"
"You said my brother, hey, brother, why are you in a panic, come in and drink water. ”
Tea Lao Liu's eyes suddenly changed direction, looked at the place where Zhou Xiao came in just now and said.
Zhou Xiao saw that this tea was really poisonous, and this poison must be the kind of poison that Liu Da understood that could make people hallucinate.
Tea Lao Liu was still indulging in hallucinations, he picked up the teapot and began to pour tea, saying as he poured it.
"How many times have I told you, how good it is to open a tea stall honestly, our old Liu's tea stalls are all over the rivers and lakes, from site selection to the supply of tea, there is a set of extremely mature experience, as long as you open a tea stall step by step, the small life must be prosperous. But what about you, you have to say that with all the news we have found in the tea stall, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes, but what is the result? If you don't get mixed up, you will get into trouble again. ”
Tea Lao Liu sat on the edge of the tea house and muttered to himself, suddenly stopped talking, and said after a while.
"Are you going to Lingfeng Mountain? Okay, I know, don't worry, I'll definitely let him drink it." ”
"Sure enough, it's a trick that Liu Da understands!"
Zhou Xiao finally figured out everything, it turned out that Liu Da understood that the reason why they were so well-informed was because their Liu family had teahouses all over the official road, and he just wanted to use his brother to poison himself to hallucinate again.
Zhou Xiao was about to go to Lingfeng Mountain, when Lao Liu suddenly shouted: "Lord Catch quickly, don't take my brother away, he just went astray, and he was forced by the thieves." ”
Sure enough, I had a bad hallucination, it seems that the goddess may be fine, and the scene of being beaten to incontinence in the ring may just be an illusion of what I am most worried about. ”
Thinking that Zhou Xiao's mood had stabilized a lot this time, he took the guard knife and walked in the direction of Lingfeng Mountain.
Zhou Xiao had just left, and the eyes of Cha Shui, who was still hysterical, suddenly returned to normal, and looking at the direction of Zhou Xiao's departure, he showed a smug smile.
"Hehe, it's worthy of a white-headed fairy, it's really a last resort, this stupid catch, it's really a trick. ”
