Chapter 14: Shadows
Speechless to the sky, the earth whimpering, the long night is long, and waiting is the most tormenting.
A rooster's crow, that new day has quietly arrived, when the first golden rays of sunlight shine into the house, Shangguan Yanran, who was lying in the next cabin, rubbed her eyes, sat up, she looked at the quilt on her body, and her heart was snickering, it seems that Murong Chen carried her into the house to sleep yesterday, there were too many things yesterday, and she couldn't stay up in less than half the night, it is estimated that she fell asleep on the table at that time, she was embarrassed to stick out her tongue, turned over and got out of bed, simply freshened up, and walked towards the kitchen next door, she wanted to make a nutritious breakfast for the person who had not slept all night, so as to make up for his empty body。
Shangguan Yanran walked out of the room, the hazy sunlight had already shone all over the valley, she stretched, yawned, and slowly walked towards the kitchen in the courtyard, before she entered the kitchen, she had already seen curling smoke coming out of the top of the kitchen, and the curling smoke made Shangguan Yanran feel a little guilty and a little more warm.
She hurriedly walked to the kitchen, pushed open the door and saw Murong Chen carefully boiling the porridge, he lowered his head and carefully looked at the color of the porridge, which was often salty from time to time, he heard the kitchen door ringing, and turned around to see Shangguan Yanran's smiling face, he said to Shangguan Yanran with concern and gentlely: "You go to sleep again, I'll be fine for a while, okay, I'll call you breakfast." He lowered the lid and waved at her for her to go out.
Shangguan Yanran didn't follow his instructions, and came to the small table in the kitchen and sat down, and there were already four delicate side dishes on the small table. It is estimated that it was fished out of the rows of kimchi jars in the kitchen, and the kimchi in Sichuan is famous all over the world, with a wide variety of colors and extremely beautiful colors. What Shangguan Yanran saw was pickled radish, running cowpeas, pickled eggplant, and pickled cabbage. The color is red, green and white, which makes people can't help but have an appetite.
"Hurry up and get out, the smoke here is a little big, and it will smoke you for a while. Murong Chen looked at Shangguan Yanran with his hands behind his back and looked at the side dishes, and couldn't help but laugh, he urged her out of the kitchen.
Shangguan Yanran walked out of the kitchen with a sweet face. When he was leaving, he also sat down with a grimace towards Murong Chen. Then he slowly walked out of the kitchen, leaving Murong Chen busy alone. She walked out of the kitchen and towards the room where her grandfather was lying. I saw that my grandfather's face was already a little ruddy. It's just that from time to time black liquid seeps out of the scratched area. The clothes were clean and clean, obviously had been changed by Murong Chen, and she looked at the bowl of medicinal soup on the table that had been drunk dry. It seems that Murong Chen was busy all night last night and didn't sleep all night.
She picked up the basin, got some hot water, then took some cold water, tested the temperature with her hands, soaked herself in the water with a towel to satisfaction, squeezed it dry, came to the bed and bent down to slowly wipe the black liquid on her grandfather's face little by little, she wiped it very carefully, very carefully.
Murong Chen walked in with the food, watched her wipe it very carefully, slowed down, slowly put the food on the table, sat down and watched her slowly serve the old man.
"You bring grandpa's rice, I'll feed it, you eat first." Shangguan Yanran didn't look back, she still wiped it, and commanded Murong Chen.
"I'd better feed you, you can rest for a while. Murong Chen walked up to Shangguan Yanran with a bowl of porridge and said softly.
"You're tired all night, so I'd better come. Shangguan Yanran wiped away the last bit of black liquid, then took the porridge, glanced at Murong Chen, and then motioned to him Nunu mouth for him to eat first.
Murong Chen handed the porridge to Shangguan Yanran, then walked to the table and sat down, watching Shangguan Yanran carefully feed the porridge, feeling relieved.
After a while, Shangguan Yanran finished feeding the porridge, wiped the soup from the corner of her grandfather's mouth with a towel, sighed, turned around and saw Murong Chen, who was looking at her motionlessly, her face was blushing, she said with disgust: "Why don't you eat, what are you doing looking at me?
"Ahem, eat, eat together. Murong Chen picked up the dishes and chopsticks and coughed a few times in embarrassment, getting rid of his dumbfounded expression.
"Grandpa's situation is a bit dangerous, as if he has been poisoned by something, and there is always a black liquid seeping out. Shangguan Yanran said to Murong Chen a little worriedly while eating.
"I've already given it to my grandfather with Shaolin's Da Huan Dan, and now it seems that my life is worry-free for the time being, and I can eat something, but it's a headache to still be unconscious." Murong Chen couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks when he heard Shangguan Yanran mention it, and let out a long sigh, his face showing sorrow.
"Fortunately, there is a big Dan, but what kind of monster was Grandpa injured by? I don't know what this monster is, we can't even cure the disease, so we can only delay it first, hey, when will your brother arrive? Is he really that magical?" Shangguan Yanran asked Murong Chen a little curiously.
"The signal of the shadow has been sent, if they can notify it in time, I think it should be there within a week, and now I am a little worried about whether grandpa's body can withstand these few days. His eyes were a little dim, and he said to Shangguan Yanran without worry.
"Shadow has always been the two most mysterious and powerful organizations in the rivers and lakes along with the killer organization, and it is definitely not the false name of the waves, if they can't find anyone, it is estimated that no one can find them on the rivers and lakes. Murong Chen said confidently to Shangguan Yanran.
"I have faith in you, and I don't think anything in this world can stump you. Shangguan Yanran smiled slightly and said to Murong Chen.
"But I'm also curious about your brother, what kind of people are the four of them?" Shangguan Yanran took a bite of food, stopped in mid-air, and thought expectantly.
An arrow whizzed at and landed on the table.
Shangguan Yanran screamed in fright, turned her head to look in the direction of the arrow, turned around and flew out with two bamboo chopsticks. I'm about to fly out on my feet to see who dares to come here and commit murder. But she was held by a hand, and Murong Chen's hand held her.
Murong Chen was very calm, and grabbed Shangguan Yanran, who was about to gallop away, and said with a calm expression: "It's a signal from the shadows, they estimate that they are in trouble and it is inconvenient to make contact, so they use the method of arrows to determine the location and time of contact." Shangguan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I was really scared to death, I thought someone was attacking." ”
"No, the arrows of the shadows have a fixed sound, didn't you even reach out to grab them when you didn't see me? I heard the sound and the target of the shot, it was definitely not coming at us. Murong Chen grabbed the arrow, took the arrow, and inside was a piece of paper, before he could look at it, he heard the sound of someone galloping outside, he put the paper in his sleeve, and put the arrow back into the shaft of the arrow.
Just when he had just finished all this, Jingyuan had already floated to the door and said to them, "There is nothing unusual about the two of you, right?"
Murong Chen and Shangguan Yanran looked at him, their eyes fell on the arrow on the table, and they didn't speak.
"Hey, it's all my fault that I'm a step late, otherwise I would have been able to catch this person, I'm sorry, I frightened the two of you. Jingyuan hurriedly apologized, and he apologized while saying with a little regret.
"Nothing, fortunately, no injuries, nothing. I don't know who did it?" Murong Chen asked Jing Yuan curiously, his eyes staring at Jing Yuan and asking.
"I don't know this now, I don't know if the two of you have any enemies?" Maybe ......" Jingyuan looked at the two of them and said slowly, but he stopped talking when he saw Murong Chen's mocking eyes.
"Our husband and wife haven't been back here for nearly ten years, what kind of enemies are there, I don't know what powerful people your Qingcheng faction has provoked, I'm afraid that we will be killed by mistake." Murong Chen looked at Jingyuan and remembered what happened yesterday, and today it was his liaison who pursued the shadow, which caused him to not be able to get in touch with the shadow in time, and he was annoyed in his heart, so he poured dirty water on him first to vent his anger.
"Murong Daxia, the faction in Xiaqingcheng has always had no grievances or enmity with people, what is there to annoy powerful people, I'm afraid someone provoked it. Jingyuan was not angry, he was already busy, but he left this powerful person here, so that he couldn't help but look at him distractedly, but even if a good-tempered person was detained by Murong Chen's basin of dirty water, he tried his best to justify.
"Qingcheng Mountain incense is prosperous, and the people around it are coming in an endless stream every day to worship the incense, in order to be safe, it seems that it is in vain. Murong Chen sneered.
"Don't be so exaggerated, this won't happen in the future, don't worry. Jingyuan deserved to be a cultivator, and after a while, he calmed down and said calmly.
"Hey, such an environment is unbearable, by the way, I'm going down the mountain today, please make it convenient for Master Jingyuan." Murong Chen said a request lightly, as if it was made very casually.
"Why are you going down the mountain?" Jing Yuan's face changed greatly, and he looked at Murong Chen, his fists were already clenched. (To be continued......)
