absurd deduction game.

Chapter 272 Long-cherished wish (4) - Decoction
The two surnames Liang and Liu are considered to be the most important surnames in this deduction, and there is an intersection in this unexpected place.

Since Mama Liang would go to see her daughter every time she made a purchase, she could basically conclude that Mama Liang's husband was Liu Bingxian and her daughter was Liu Xue.

This also explains why the Fangfu of Nuoda contacted Liu Bingxian on the funeral street, and thus bought Liu Xue from the funeral shop owner who was despised by everyone.

Yu Xing originally thought that Liang's mother should have some relationship with Liu Xue, but he didn't expect the relationship to be so deep. He thought that Liang's mother's descendant should be Liang Erni, but because of some special reasons, the descendants all took the woman's surname.

Yes, Liang Erni is definitely a bit later than this era. Based on his observations, he can be sure that the story of Fangfu happened before the Republic of China, probably in a period of turmoil. In Liang Erni's era, there were many female students, so Liang Erni should be Mama Liang's granddaughter.

Putting this doubt aside for the time being, Yu Xing got the answer he wanted, curled up the corners of his mouth unobtrusively, and wholeheartedly acted as a "patient" with a painful leg.

When the other three helpers came in after grabbing the medicine, Dr. Cui had already applied the medicine and pulled down Yu Xing's trouser legs.

Ah Gui caught a glimpse of the medicine oil bottle casually placed aside, with a worried expression on his face, then seriously handed the medicine to Dr. Cui, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Dr. Cui, for helping Xiao Jin heal his injury."

Dr. Cui was taken aback, then smiled and said, "This is my duty."

He took all kinds of medicinal materials, opened the paper bags that wrapped them, and the water in the stove was already boiled.

Yu Xing didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, and he couldn't recognize the names of these medicinal materials at a glance, so he could only work as a helper for an afternoon like a blind man, with no gain except getting acquainted with the current working environment.

The weather is a little cold, and it should be autumn at this time.

Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, Yu Xing was in charge of sitting next to the stove and fanning the fire today. After finishing the work, the black concoction was brought to the young master by the young man who didn't like making noise.

He felt a little regretful that he didn't meet Young Master Fang, because to be honest, he had been in contact with the "real" Young Master Fang in the first and second stages, and he was already half acquainted with him.

The first stage is the young master's dream, with a fair perspective and not too much malice, and more images of paper figurines and ghosts are used to show what happened.

In the second stage, Yu Xing tried to find out that the young master was the black figure swaying beside Zhou Xue's bed every night, because the black figure and the blood-colored bride were both carried in Bai Yuli, and Bai Yu was the real thing Liang Erni was avoiding, so the two This ghost is also real, and it has been handed down over time like a spirit.

Thinking about it this way, Young Master Fang and him are quite destined.

Yu Xing and Agui went back to the house together, and he ate a steamed bun that Agui brought him while no one was paying attention at noon. There is no rigid need for food, every time I eat it is just to satisfy my gluttony.

It was Xiao Jin who was hungry.

Fortunately, dinner is available, and he happily integrated into the big family of cooks. While eating, he listened to other servants discussing some gossip. During the period, he noticed a tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The young man was a bit strong. He looks naive, and is called Ahu.

It seems that Liang's mother has finished shopping safely and returned home.

Yu Xing lowered his eyelashes, thinking about who would have the accident today.

Everything has a beginning, but it is unknown who will be the first victim in this conspiracy.

The sun was sinking, and the work assigned to them by Dr. Cui had ended. He was free and read a book in his room.

Nothing abnormal happened all the time, and he didn't find any facial paralysis in the crowd. He guessed that Zhao Yijiu also paid some "price" in order not to reveal his secret...

Imagining Zhao Yijiu's lively performance in front of the npc in order to act, Yu Xing wanted to laugh for no reason.

The moment the corner of his mouth curled up, Agui, who was paying attention to him, became curious: "Xiao Jin, what book are you reading? Laughing like this, is it a small picture book?"

It took Yu Xing a second or two to realize what kind of small picture book this kid was talking about. Seeing that the other party was still moving over to look at it together, he stretched out a hand and pushed the other party's head back, and said angrily: "It's not that kind, don't think about it."

The child looks so innocent, what is going on in his mind!
"Oh." Agui lay back on her bed regretfully.

There are very few entertainment activities for servants in this era. When it gets dark, basically there are only some small games like dice to play. Agui and the two people in the room don’t have a good relationship, so he just wants to chat with Yu Xing. But Yu Xing focused on reading and ignored him at all.

Many servants of the Fang Mansion were trained from an early age, and they have been taught some knowledge to some extent, at least they can read and write.

Agui tried to pick up the book at hand and glanced at it. After a few minutes, he realized one thing - he was sleepy.

These literary books are too hypnotic, not as good as the novels, but he has read all the novels piled under the bed and forgot to buy new ones.

Ah Gui, who was hypnotized, suddenly felt exhausted from working all day, and exclaimed that this trick really works. It really deserves to be Xiao Jin's method for sleeping!

It's just that Xiao Jin must be so tortured by the scars on his body that he can't sleep, right?
He felt sorry for Yu Xing for a while, and finally patted Yu Xing's arm: "Xiao Jin, I'm asleep."

"Go to sleep." Yu Xing glanced up at him, and saw that he was really falling asleep with the quilt pulled, while the two young men on the other side were almost ready to rest, and turned their attention back to the book in their hands.

What he read was Liang Erni's diary.

In the third stage, the ghost bag is still hanging on the waist, and there are [True Vision Powder], [Lucky Credit Records], and [Liang Erni’s Diary] in it, but there is no [Poisonous Drinking Cup], I think this thing is Zhao Yi The wine that was drawn should be at Zhao Yijiu's place.

The diary written by Liang Erni did not start from the first day she knew the master, but the remorse and pain written in the tone of memory after the ups and downs.

In general, after reading it from beginning to end, Yu Xing found that there are quite a lot of dry goods in it, which should be very helpful for him to get through the marriage scene at the end of the third stage of the mission.

After reading all of them and memorizing useful information, the other three had fallen asleep completely, snoring lightly.

After thinking for a while, he turned off the kerosene lamp, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.

Putting the diary back into the ghost bag, Yu Xing lay down and stared at the ceiling, waiting for the event to come.

There has been no change, what is brewing?
Who will be tonight...

"Dong dong dong."

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Yu Xing's pupils shrank, she sat up quietly, and stared at the door.

"Dong dong dong."

The knock on the door rang again as expected, with such a small force that only those who were not asleep could hear it.

Yu Xing glanced at the light that had just been turned off from the corner of his eye, and was sure that the person or something outside the door was looking for him.

He got out of bed quietly, walked to the door barefoot, and pressed the door shut.

Before opening the door, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"There has been no accident, it can't be because Xiao Jin was the first to have an accident, right?"

Hiss... It's hard to do.

But this time the main task eliminates the possibility of the deducer shrinking back and acting like an ostrich. If he does not take the initiative to attack, he will be obliterated due to passive excavation. That is an irreparable situation than encountering a ghost.

Yu Xing still opened the door, the muscles in his legs tensed so that he could quickly escape when he encountered a door-opening kill.

A sour feeling came from his calf, Yu Xing pushed open a gap, and the cold wind suddenly squeezed in, making him shiver.

There was no one outside.

Only an inconspicuous note was caught in the gap between the low threshold and the door, making a rustling sound with the wind.

Yu Xing picked up the note and squinted at it under the moonlight.

The note reads...

"The master wants you to go to his bedroom now, without being seen by anyone."

Now?

Yu Xing raised his brows. The master did ask him to report during the day, but didn't that pretty girl say that he could not report this time?Why are you here again?

It was impossible not to go, Yu Xing turned around and put on his shoes, after making sure that no one in the house was awake, he went out in the dead of night.

There are a few rooms where the lights are still on, and the sound of someone talking can be heard faintly inside, including the room where the ghost groom played by Zhao Yijiu was scared out of the room in the second stage of playing dice.

Yu Xing carefully concealed his figure, walked through the courtyard gate, and came to the fifth entrance courtyard.

Strictly speaking, there are only two people living in the fifth courtyard, the master and Dr. Cui.

The difference is that Dr. Cui occupied three rooms, but had no servants to serve him, while the master occupied two rooms, and one side room was dedicated to his servants. The little girl at noon was one of them.

When Yu Xing arrived, all the rooms were pitch black. He limped to the door of the master's room and knocked lightly.

No one should.

He knocked again, then stood outside the door and waited.

There was still no one, not to mention opening the door, and there was no movement at all, as if the people inside were already fast asleep.

After waiting for a few minutes, Yu Xing's gaze gradually became dangerous, because he concentrated his attention, mobilized his most sensitive hearing, and heard the master's steady breathing.

Master is really sleeping...

Who handed him the note?Why did you choose him, what is the purpose?
Suddenly, the lights next door turned on, which immediately attracted Yu Xing's attention.

It is not Dr. Cui's bedroom that is lit, but the room where Dr. Cui sees a doctor. At this time, with the light, a man's shadow can be seen reflected on the window. The man's figure is sitting in the room. Dr. Choi is exactly the same when he works during the day.

"Squeak-"

At this moment, without the figure moving at all, the door of the decoction room opened.

Yu Xing was looking forward to the upcoming trick, with confusion and hesitation on his face, he walked slowly towards that room.

Walking to the door, you can see the panorama of the decoction room.

The small stove was set up again, steaming under the licking of the flames.

The medicinal materials were piled up next to the stove, out of order, and some were mixed together in a messy manner, which was not at all like Dr. Cui's usual rigorous style.

But Dr. Cui sat there cross-legged with his back to the door, his clothes were the same as in the daytime, and he was holding a branch used to stir the soup in his hand.

Yu Xing stopped at the door and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Cui? Did you ask me to come here?"

Dr. Cui seemed to have moved, and his tone was gentle: "Come in, and close the door."

Yu Xing blinked. After entering the room, he closed the door with his backhand and walked over.

Dr. Cui was really decocting the medicine, and the smell in the room was the same as during the day. Yu Xing expressed nervousness and confusion appropriately.

"Doctor Cui, it's so late, what do you want me to do? And... why did you write that?" He stood still in front of Dr. Cui, looked at Dr. Cui's expressionless face, his voice trembling, " I thought the master was finally going to do something to me...it's too scary, Doctor Cui."

Dr. Cui rolled his eyes and looked at him: "Why are you so scared?"

"Because, because Master doesn't like me, didn't you and Mother Liang also remind me to be careful of Master?"

Dr. Cui's eyes pointed at Yu Xing, and he asked back: "Be careful, master? That's strange, did the master do something that made you think it was dangerous."

He looked at Yu Xing who was trembling more and more violently, the gentleness in his voice had gradually disappeared, and he looked very strange.

He asked again: "Why are you trembling? Don't I like you too, someone reminded you to be careful of me?"

"No, no, but..." Yu Xing took a step back, as if his face was distorted for a moment because of the wound on his leg, "Doctor Cui, you speak so strangely tonight, and why don't you blink?" ..."

Since he came in, Dr. Cui has not moved at all except for his eyeballs rolling and his mouth opening and closing when speaking, like a sculpture.

"Oh? Forgot to blink." Dr. Cui blinked extremely slowly, as if he was trying, "This is normal, right?"

Yu Xing: "..."

[What's going on, it's so weird]
[I feel the coolness behind my back]
[It's already late at night, I don't sleep and watch the live broadcast here, it's really exciting]
[Doctor Cui is a ghost? ]
Fortunately, Dr. Cui didn't bother with this problem, he said, "Come here and help me look at the medicine."

Yu Xing moved over step by step.

"Turn on the stove to see the color." Dr. Cui probably made up his mind not to do anything this time, he ordered Yu Xing, and seeing Yu Xing's hands shaking like a sieve, he obediently lifted the stove cover, The water vapor suddenly rushed into the air, bringing up a white mist.

The decoction inside was already dark, exuding a strange color.

"You watch here, help me sit over there." Dr. Cui said.

Yu Xing glanced at him, and reached out to hold his arm, without using any strength at all.

However, he just touched Dr. Cui lightly, causing Dr. Cui's body to shake, and Dr. Cui's head moved forward a little.

Then it slipped off the neck.

With a "plop", the head fell into the steaming stove. The black concoction splashed and splashed on the stunned Yu Xing's face. The scalding liquid left a stinging pain on the skin.

The head rolled over in the stove, the black hair floated on the water, the last half of the face floated on it, and one big unblinking eye quietly looked at Yu Xing.

"Grumbling..."

No matter what it is installed on the stove, it is still cooking and stewing dutifully, making a lively sound.
