Chapter 14: The Night Shadow of the Demon Path
Nian Jiang went back to his room after the village chief left, and he fell asleep after a while on the bed tiredly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info vaguely felt a lot warmer on his body and heard the sound of the door creaking again the sound was very small nian jiang didn t pay attention to it and quickly fell asleep again.
When he woke up again it was late in the evening, turned over and felt something strange and warm on his body, barely opened his eyes to look at it and closed his eyes with relief. It seems that after he fell asleep, Ming Xuan came back and covered him with a quilt.
He closed his eyes and lay down for a while before sitting up, after lifting the quilt and getting off the ground, he walked inside, gently picked up a small piece of door curtain to see the appearance of the person lying on the bed, Nian Jiang walked back with confidence, he stretched, didn't care about the oil lamp, and gently walked to the door and opened the door.
"......" Nian Jiang watched wordlessly as a bag of potatoes fell into the room because the door was opened, and rolled to the ground by the way. He stretched out his head and looked, there were a few bags of vegetables and rice outside the door, and the mouth of the bag was not tied up, and Nian Jiang could see it clearly.
"What's the situation, is it possible to leave?" Nian Jiang muttered. He bent down and carried his things into the room, and looked around and didn't see anything revealing anything. Could it be blown away by the wind?
He thought that after all the things were put away, he decided to go out to see if the people in the village had moved away.
The village is no longer as beautiful as it was yesterday, and there is an air of dead silence and desolation everywhere, although the houses and the flowers and plants along the road are not deserted. Nian Jiang walked here slowly, looking around the house, sometimes looking at the window.
"Tut, it's all gone," Nian Jiang subconsciously twisted the bluegrass on the village chief's windowsill, shook his head and said, "This ability to act is still quite strong." ”
Putting down his hand and shaking it, Nian Jiang said: "I really still have to find a way to detoxify, but I am helpless, the poison doctor can't go back, and there is no one I know who has medicine...... But Sister Xuan said yesterday to find someone to help, she is from the Hengren Pavilion, the Hengren Pavilion seems to be very powerful, I don't know if she can find it......"
Nian Jiang walked for a while, and found that the house in front of him was the house they lived in, and then he realized that he had already walked around. He thought about it and decided to go back.
"I don't know if Sister Xuan is awake. Nian Jiang thought, and his subordinates pushed the door open.
As soon as I entered, I saw Ming Xuan looking over.
"Wake up. Nian Jiang nodded at her, and after a glance, she found that Ming Xuan was collecting things, she was packing up her things, and Nian Jiang's things were stacked on the table.
"You're back, what are these things?" Ming Xuan glanced at the rice and vegetables on the ground and wondered.
"The names of the villages have been moved, and these are probably reserved for us to detoxify here. "Nian Jiang walked on the side of the road.
Nian Jiang walked to the table, picked up the medicine box from below, and stood next to Ming Xuan and began to collect it. Then I heard Ming Xuan say: "I sent a letter out in the morning after spreading the medicine, I hope someone will send the medicine over." ”
Nian Jiang heard the helplessness in Ming Xuan's voice, turned his head, and saw that the woman was lowering her head, her long hair blocking her cheeks, and she couldn't see her appearance.
Nian Jiang hesitated for a while, but still said, "If you have anything sad or sad, you can tell me and say it...... Maybe it will be better. ”
"Hmm. Ming Xuan nodded, and did not speak again after making a sound.
Nian Jiang said in his heart that he was still too arrogant, and he had only known Ming Xuan for a few days...... Set of suspicions that are almost familiar.
Just when Nian Jiang was a little regretful and distressed, he heard Ming Xuan sniff, and then her somewhat trembling voice reached Nian Jiang's ears.
“...... Thank you, I wanted to rot it in my heart, but ...... But every time I think about it, I feel sad. Ming Xuan choked up, she held the table with one hand and covered her face with the other.
Nian Jiang's hand was raised and lowered, and finally it just slowly landed on her back and patted her.
"Sister Xuan doesn't cry, let's sit down and talk. If you have something suppressed in your heart, you will be fine if you say it. Don't worry, I won't say anything casually. Nian Jiang coaxed, led people to the bed and sat down.
“...... Hmm," Ming Xuan wiped away her tears, and leaned into Jiang's arms in the previous years, "I hope Brother Nian won't dislike me...... I really am, I can't stand it. ”
"Don't cry......" Nian Jiang froze for a moment, and the warm body in his arms made him at a loss.
"Woo......" Ming Xuan choked up, "Brother Nian, you know that I am a healer of the Hengren Pavilion, and my master is one of the five elders of the Hengren Pavilion, he adopted me when I was a child, and he has been raising me all these years, so that I can grow up and learn good medical skills." ”
"Hmm. Nian Jiang nodded and patted his hand on her back.
“...... I know that the people in the Hengren Pavilion are not as selfless and selfless as the outside world says, and the doctors are benevolent, but they are just ...... It's just that I didn't expect my master to be such a person. ”
Nian Jiang patted her back in understanding, and suddenly felt that even so, Ming Xuan would not be like this.
Maybe it's because of our different philosophies. Nian Jiang thought that since Ming Xuan was brought up by her master, his master should not have shown his feet before, so the blow to Ming Xuan was too great...... Unexpectedly, Ming Xuan's next sentence made the thoughts in his mind disappear.
Ming Xuan approached him, and his breath hit his body, making Nian Jiang immediately explode and want to jump away. Ming Xuan stretched out his hand and grabbed his clothes, and whispered, "Brother Nian, don't panic, listen to me." ”
Nian Jiang frowned, didn't move again, and heard that Ming Xuan's voice was too small, so he leaned over.
"I suspect that the Hengren Pavilion is controlled by the Demon Dao, and I was hunted down and killed a few days ago...... Exactly. Ming Xuan said in a low voice.
"This!" Nian Jiang was shocked.
"I don't know how many people I can believe that I grew up in Hengren Pavilion...... I have never been in contact with outsiders. Ming Xuan leaned to the side and left Nian Jiang's embrace.
Nian Jiang glanced at the hand he had just hugged Ming Xuan with some dismay, and said, "Then you just said that you were looking for someone to help...... Is it a temptation?"
"No, let's go tomorrow morning, in case they come with the pigeons. The guy I'm calling is a guy who loves to study poison, and he probably won't sit idly by. Ming Xuan said with some hesitation, she herself didn't believe everything she knew now.
"Good. Nian Jiang nodded, although he still had doubts in his heart, he still gave Ming Xuan his trust.
A smile bloomed on Ming Xuan's face again, and when she raised her head, she couldn't see that she had just cried and was insecure and fragile except that her eyes were still red.
This Ming Xuan is really not simple. Nian Jiang covered up the exploration that flashed in his eyes by stroking his bangs.
"Alright, let's go outside and have a look. Ming Xuan stood up and tucked his sleeves. I couldn't see her face, but I could hear the relaxed tone in her words.
"Hmm. Nian Jiang stood up and followed her out.
Pushing open the door, the darkness of the previous dusk had turned into a sky full of stars, Nian Jiang copied the torch next to him, lit it and walked out of the village with Ming Xuan.
"Are you sure it's time to leave tomorrow morning?When did you release the carrier pigeon?" The atmosphere was a little dull along the way, and Nian Jiang couldn't stand it and asked casually.
"Well, I raised that pigeon since I was a child, and it ...... Uh, fatter, slower. I put it at noon today. Ming Xuan waved his hand a little embarrassed.
"......" is OK, and this reason is very strong.
"And that person usually lives in Bazhou, quite far from here. It would take a day if he was in a hurry. Ming Xuan thought for a while and said, "But I'm based on my location in Beikou Town, here's ...... I don't know. ”
“...... I've slept enough just now, so let's go back and get enough to eat. Nian Jiang said, his brows twitched as if he was about to jump off.
This kid is really uneasy, how can he be counted like this. It's good to leave early.
"Good. Ming Xuan said.
The two chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they were getting closer and closer to the scene of the poison scene.
"Be careful. Nian Jiang felt that it was a little cold tonight, and he panicked, so he whispered to Ming Xuan.
"Hmm. Ming Xuan looked around, and the two walked over cautiously next to each other.
"......" doesn't seem to be anything. Nian Jiang was carefully guarded. The two walked to the exposed part, and saw that the range had not expanded in the firelight, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, several figures sprang out of the grass next to him, so fast that Nian Jiang didn't have time to react.
It was too dark and dark in the grass and couldn't see anything, Nian Jiang subconsciously waved the torch to block the attacking fist, because the gesture was a little awkward, the force of holding the torch was not hit, and the torch flew out along the force of the other party's blow, Nian Jiang didn't hear the sound of it landing at all, and the torch went out.
"Lin Qiu is not you!" There were no torches, and it went dark in an instant. Ming Xuan's excited voice came from beside him. She shouted loudly, excited but full of despair.
This is the person Ming Xuan said? How could it be so fast...... Could it be that this is actually a trap?
