Chapter 8: Acting or Calling for Help

Nian Jiang was stuffed in his room all afternoon, constantly recalling things related to the poison doctor and writing them all down on paper. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info his brain hole Dafa was activated, constantly simulating the thoughts of a poison doctor in his mind, and writing down a word for word.

"Smack!" There was a clear sound, and it turned out that the pen fell from Nian Jiang's hand and smashed on the paper. Nian Jiang closed his eyes fiercely, shook his hand and sighed. He was too nervous before, and his mind was full of miscellaneous things, but now he can't stand it anymore.

Nian Jiang opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole face was very pale. He looked at the pile of papers on the table. He has preliminarily sorted out the general idea of the poison doctor, which is the result of observing the poison doctor's methods for many years, and the poison doctor has formed a certain habit of poisoning, and he is bringing this habit to himself, wanting to take advantage of this to get a glimpse of it. He didn't dare to think that the poison doctor would innovate on himself, so he had to try to tell himself that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to remove the poison from his body.

He sighed, stood up and reached out to open the pen in the inkstone, then straightened the paper and tucked it away in the clothes on his chest. He stretched, then walked over to the window and pushed it open.

What catches your eye is the lantern downstairs and the stars in the distant sky.

"It's already night...... Nian Jiang muttered.

He took a few breaths of fresh air, but he didn't have the heart to eat.

He touched his face, closed the window, walked to the bed and lay down, and took out a paper from the lamp at the table not far away.

"Win grass, fire pine nuts, Ke Yin. These three are drugs that have a certain effect of suppressing toxicity, and Baiying grass mainly suppresses cold drugs, and the more you eat, the worse the effect...... Fire pine nuts, well, this medicine is relatively rare, I have only seen three strains from the poison doctor, in addition to suppressing the toxicity, it also has an aphrodisiac effect. Nian Jiang muttered while watching, "This Ke Yin and the fire pine nuts are mutually restrictive, and the combination of the two is a kind of poison." ”

"Shhh...... And this ......"

Nian Jiang read them all, reluctantly memorized them all, and then let go of his hand to let the paper fall on the bed. He got up and walked to the door and took the small metal basin for washing his face, this basin does not know what material it is, it feels like iron when pinched, and it should be a metal mineral unique to this era.

Nian Jiang took it and put it on the ground, reached out to reach for all the papers, squatted down, and then raised his hand to take the candle lamp.

He tossed most of the paper into the basin, pinched the remaining few sheets, and held the lampholder in his other hand and met the paper with a candle.

Wait for the paper to ignite before throwing it into a basin.

"Bang!" Mars was stirred up and flew up, and Nian Jiang subconsciously dodged back. The light of the fire shone on his pale face, and though it was warm, it did not bring him warmth.

Seeing the flames gradually disappearing, he took the back of the brush and picked it up in the basin, and found that it was all burned to ashes before Nian Jiang was relieved.

"Alas, I can only take one step at a time. I thought I had enough medicine on my body, but I needed a few more flavors to test that I was poisoned. Nian Jiang took a deep breath, a little decadent, "It's getting late today, I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow morning to have a look." ”

He wiped his face, feeling deeply tired, so he collapsed on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate. Raising his hand, an invisible air flow rushed towards the light, and the flame was extinguished instantly.

Nian Jiang turned over and pulled the quilt.

I felt someone standing at the door for a while, and then left after a while. Before the man made a move, Nian Jiang didn't want to pay attention to him at the moment.

The current Nianjiang has not been able to fully integrate himself into the rivers and lakes, and he is still very immature in doing things. If it weren't for the fact that the man at the door really had no malice, he would have died.

In his sleep, Nian Jiang was suddenly awakened.

Because his mind was chaotic and full of all kinds of things, Nian Jiang's dream was also chaotic, and he woke up and felt very uncomfortable at the temple position.

He sniffed and found that there was a smell of smoke in the air, as if someone was burning leaves in his room, which made Nian Jiang's eyes fill with touching tears.

"What's the matter!" Nian Jiang scolded in a low voice, closed his eyes, and the internal force spread around with him as the center, and everything that was perceived by the internal force was transmitted into Nian Jiang's mind.

He "felt" two breaths outside the door, one above the window, and a puff of smoke being blown into the room by the man in the window.

Flower thief? Nian Jiang's eyes lit up, and then he quickly "puffed" himself in his heart, what flowers to pick, chrysanthemums!

No, there are thieves, thieves, or something! Nian Jiang shook his head, throwing out the thoughts brought about by inertia.

He thought about it and felt that this was a good time to test his martial arts.

Of course, what he can easily perceive will not be much.

Nian Jiang thought about it, and still lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep.

Holding back the discomfort, he carefully pulled out a small bottle from his waist bag, shook the powder on his index finger and rubbed it under his nose.

As soon as he rubbed it and smelled the slight medicinal fragrance, Nian Jiang felt as if he had come to life.

He was calm, and the door was being pushed open.

The two of them came in in the dark, and Nian Jiang closed his eyes, feeling that they were approaching him......

"Hey, hey, this isn't a big man. Suddenly, there was a whisper in the room.

"Eh, I just saw a girl here. The other voice was full of surprise and hesitation.

"Let's go, don't make a fuss, I don't want to stay here. ”

Then the room was completely silent.

Nian Jiang: What is the situation of "......"?

He could feel the people outside the window running up the roof, and the two people in his room retreating.

"No!" I just listened to the conversation between the two and saw that they were looking for a girl, and he didn't care, if he really let the family harm the girl, what would it be!

Then, before Nian Jiang got out of bed, he saw a figure in the darkness touching in.

Nian Jiang jumped forward and slapped the person with a palm.

"Young man!" the visitor felt the palm wind and exclaimed.

Nian Jiang was stunned and hurriedly withdrew his palm.

This voice, is it unfamiliar? It is clearly the voice of Ming Xuan that I saw this morning.

"Miss Ming?" Nian Jiang wondered, what is this woman doing here.

A thought flashed through me, someone lingered at the door of the room before, and the two people said that there was a girl here, could it be her?

Nian Jiang hurriedly took out the fire fold and walked to the table in the dark.

When the light turned on suddenly, Nian Jiang also saw the inside of the house clearly.

Ming Xuan was standing at the door of the room, looking embarrassed.

"Miss Ming, why did you come here in the middle of the night?" Nian Jiang walked over and closed the door and brought the person into the house.

After Ming Xuan sat down, he took the boiled water handed to him by Nian Jiang and drank it in small sips.

Nian Jiang glanced around the room as if subconsciously, and after making sure that there was nothing that he couldn't see, he dragged over the stool and sat opposite Ming Xuan.

When he put down the stool, it was obvious that Ming Xuan's whole body trembled.

Only then did Nian Jiang realize that this was ancient times, and their lonely men and widows inevitably made the girls feel uneasy.

But don't you worry, what are you doing here? Nian Jiang was speechless.

In fact, Ming Xuan wanted to pull him outside, after all, Ming Xuan's little friend was still waiting.

"......" It was not right for Nian Jiang to drag the stool back, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, sat down and looked at Ming Xuan and asked, "Why is Miss Ming here?"

Ming Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Nian Gongzi, I ...... just now I'm in trouble for you. ”

"Then please explain to Miss Ming?" Nian Jiang said lightly, tapping his fingers on his legs.

"Let's put it this way, those people just now are actually here for me. I followed the elders out thinking that I could escape, but I didn't expect them to find out so quickly and quickly catch up. Ming Xuan looked worried, "But since Nian Gongzi has nothing to do with me, they won't hurt Nian Gongzi." ”

"What do you mean? If Miss Ming doesn't tell the truth, then it will be rude. Nian Jiang frowned.

Ming Xuan glanced at him a few times, then lowered his head again. Her hands kept wrapping around the tassels on her blouse, causing her clothes to crumple up.

"I'm sorry, young man. Can the little woman be allowed to hide here for the night tonight? Rest assured, this won't hurt you. Ming Xuan pursed her lips, raised her head and stood up, looking at Nian Jiang expectantly.

This woman felt that she was brain-dead? Nian Jiang suddenly had a bad impression of Ming Xuan, and even looked at Ming Xuan with an unkind look in his eyes. Who would be so brainless to believe in someone they have only met once and are not familiar with, or that this woman thinks she is unbeatable in the world?

Ming Xuan saw the unkindness in his eyes, and there was sadness in his beautiful eyes.

"Excuse me. Ming Xuan nodded at him and turned to leave.

Nian Jiang sat on the stool and looked at him coldly. Seeing that her hand was already on the door, Nian Jiang still said loudly: "If you want me to help you, you will explain the reason." ”

"......" Ming Xuan didn't look back, she was quiet for a while, but she still pushed the door open, walked straight out, and gently closed the door.

Nian Jiang turned his head with a boring expression, but he was stunned when his eyes touched one place.

In the place where the threshold was attached to the doorway, there was a small jade block.

Nian Jiang walked over, squatted down to pick it up, and was stunned to find that this was the small square seal he had seen during the day.

"This ......" Nian Jiang suddenly remembered her nervous look when she saw Ming Xuan, as well as those beautiful eyes, the other party's eyes were bright and bright, and there was a feeling of spring breeze when she smiled slightly.

Nian Jiang clenched his fists, but in his mind, it was like a battle between heaven and man.

Who would believe the plea for help from a woman who had only known her for a long time? Moreover, this person is still a righteous person, and there should be her companions here, as well as the three people she has just lured in.

But what if she has nothing to rely on and can only try her luck here?

The more Nian Jiang thought about it, the more he felt a headache, he clenched the small seal in his hand, and still pushed open the door and chased out.

He stepped lightly downstairs without making a sound, while holding his breath, trying not to leak his breath.

Walking around the corner, the dark corridor is still dark. Obviously, this place was still open at this time yesterday, Nian Jiang didn't have time to think about it, and ran out of the inn.

As soon as he ran out of the door of the inn, Nian Jiang paused.

Ming Xuan, where is it? How do I find it?

Nian Jiang thought about it and ran in the direction of the inn where Ming Xuan took him this morning.

The sound of the husband beating the guard was still in the distance, and it could only be heard intermittently. The whole town was rested, and there was not a single light. At this time, there were a few lanterns in front of the door that had not been extinguished, and Nian Jiang could vaguely see a little bit of the distance, and what he couldn't see could only be perceived with internal force.

After walking for a while, he didn't have a clue about Ming Xuan at all, and Nian Jiang didn't dare to run around, so he walked around the street.

Until I met my husband, I didn't find anything after inquiring about the other party, but I was urged back to the inn by my husband.

"Young man, you better go back quickly, this place is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, if you are arrested and meet soon, you will have to go to prison for a few days. The husband said bitterly.

"Catch fast?" Nian Jiang frowned.

"yes. The husband said, "Go back quickly, the girl you are looking for should be the woman surnamed Ming, I saw several young men in white clothes next to her a few days ago, they should protect her." ”

“...... All right. Nian Jiang hesitated for a moment and said.

After thanking the husband, he went back.

The husband shook his head when he saw his back, and continued to walk on the way to the watch.
