Wish Junshou and Tianqi

Chapter 37: Detecting Linglong Village at Night 3

"No, once the officers and soldiers go up the mountain, the situation will become more serious. Now this matter is still a conflict within the village, and there is no need to involve the government." Zhu Shou saw Meng Liang's expression was troubled, weighed it up, and gave up taking this opportunity to calm down the banditry. People have to keep their ideas, otherwise it will be difficult to investigate the copper mine.

"The most urgent thing is to go out and find out..."

Before the words fell, a childish voice came from the exit of the cellar, which was blocked by thick wooden boards, and said in a low voice: "Brother Meng! Brother Meng!"

Hearing this, Meng Liang signaled the rest of the three to rest assured, then hurriedly stood at the bottom of the exit and replied, "Luzi? What's the matter?"

A section of the board was lifted, revealing a chubby face. Luzi seemed to be running all the way, panting, his little face was flushed from being suppressed, he was holding the board, his eyes widened in anxiety, and tears wet his cheeks Said: "Everyone in the village has been stunned. That sister is holding a knife in the lobby and doesn't know what she's doing. My mother can't wake up either, Brother Meng! Come and save them!"

When Zhu Shou heard this, he turned around and took out two crossbows, handed one to Meng Liang, and held the other in his palm. The four of them held the crossbows in tacit understanding, and followed Luzi out of the cellar.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the bright stars above the sky are as if there are no other people twinkling. Occasionally, the sound of birds and monkeys can be heard from the distant mountains, echoing long and long in the lonely sky, and the dark green trees are reflected in the dark blue sky. In the deep space, being dragged by the wind left and right, dancing wildly.

At this moment, the village was as silent as death, and only passing by under the yellowish light of the fire, I could hear the scorching sound of the burning torches, buzzing, sparks bursting and jumping out from time to time, drawing a fleeting moment. The firefly fluttered among the figures of several people, and then quietly disappeared.

Along the way, as if walking on the ground, I didn't see a single soldier, and before I entered the lobby, I saw a few people lying on the ground on the left and right sides. When I stepped into the lobby, I saw a lot of people lying on the table where the wine and vegetables were placed. , They seemed to be unconscious, the leftover wine on the desk was overturned to the ground, and a person fell head down on the short steps under the main table, with a shiny tiger skin on his shoulders and a beard. It should be the newly promoted head of the family - Yang Hu.

Looking around, there was no cangcuo who didn't know what he was doing, several people stepped forward to check, Zhu Shou picked up a glass of dirty wine on the table, brought it to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and lowered his eyes to think , and then a clear smile appeared on his lips, and he turned around and said, "This wine is filled with eggplant powder, which is commonly known as mandala powder. It is similar to Mongolian sweat medicine, but there is also a medicine in it."

"So...they just passed out." Meng Liang took the wine and sniffed it lightly, only to be relieved by the sweat medicine.

"No." Song Yanqing turned around, looked at Meng Liang with dark eyes, and said earnestly: "There are some poisons in it."

When Meng Liang heard this, he became anxious again, and stared at Chu Shou for confirmation.

Chu Shou nodded slightly, nodded and said: "That's true. In addition to mandala powder, there should be other poisons such as Chuanwu and poisonous arrow wood. Without an antidote, within an hour, they will die of poison."

When Meng Liang heard it again, his heart turned cold, and he hurriedly asked, "Then... do you have an antidote?"

Chu Shou shook his head helplessly. These are highly poisonous, and they have been perfectly mixed together. There are so many people who have been poisoned. Even if they find out the antidote, they may not be able to save people in time.

Song Yanqing maintained the posture of squatting down, and raised his hand to check the people who had passed out on the desk. He frowned slightly, looked carefully with lowered eyes, and said softly, "And...all men have There are traces of being cut open by a sharp knife to take blood, the wound has not healed, and there is still blood flowing out, and all of them are new wounds, Cang Cuo may have just left, or maybe...he is still here."

As soon as the words fell, the door of the lobby was slammed down with a bang, and then it was tightly closed. The person who closed the door had his back facing them. He was less than five feet tall, had short, double buns, and yellowish hair. He belonged to a little girl. He looked like he was holding a sharp knife behind his back in one hand.

She turned around with a smile, her voice was sharp and weird, her face looked like a child's, but her eyes were full of mature sternness, full of excitement and excitement.

She kept flipping the fingers holding the dagger, trying her best to suppress her excitement, and kept stomping her feet, as if she was about to jump up.

Her eyes are not as clear and innocent as a child's, no, she is not a child, her body is like a shell with an adult soul, a dwarf.

When Ke Yanyue saw her, she knew it, she stepped forward and said, "Yuetong! It really is you!"

Yuetong is Cangcuo's maid, she is twenty-five years old, but she is born with a physical disability, she is indeed a dwarf, she went to Youzhou with Cangcuo, and disappeared in Qingzhou together, as expected, she was captured by mountain bandits It's Cangcuo.

"Ke Yanyue? Did the patriarch ask you to come?" Yue Tong squinted at her, half-believing and half-doubting.

Ke Yanyue affirmed: "That's natural. I came here with my elder brother to find Cangcuo's whereabouts. Where is Cangcuo?"

Yuetong didn't get an answer, but bowed towards the right seat. Everyone followed her gaze, and a woman came out from behind the desk. She was dressed as a witch, wearing silver ornaments, but she was wearing a bright red wedding gown with a lace around her waist. A ring of slender copper bells made the sound of rinsing, and her round bamboo hat and bamboo hat hung down to her waist with a snow-white gauze curtain, covering her long hair and making it difficult for people to see her face clearly.

She raised her arm, revealing her slender hand, which was wearing a half-finger-wide ring, shining with a cold light.

When Yuetong saw it, he immediately held the sharp dagger and ran towards her, with a smile on his face and eyes full of joy, she ran over to hold Cangcuo's hand respectfully, and stuck it to her forehead devoutly, Then he raised his head and murmured a few words towards Cangcuo, as if thanking him for something.

Ke Yanyue hesitated a few times before finally mustering up the courage to shout at them: "Cang Cuo! What are you doing?"

Cangcuo's hand rested on Yuetong's shoulder, his fingers moved slightly, as if conveying some message to Yuetong, Yuetong lowered his head slightly to feel the movements of her fingers carefully, then raised his head as if understanding, his eyes became firm, Clearing his throat, he said excitedly: "Xiao Luzi, you did a good job and brought people here, but it's a pity, if you bring too many people, your mother's antidote cannot be given to you."

Meng Liang turned his head to look at Luzi who was hiding behind him tightly clutching his robe, and understood that Xu Cangcuo threatened him with an antidote and told him to lead him to the lobby, he turned around and cupped his fists and said, "The girl is called Luzi." What is the meaning of bringing Meng here here, please let me know."

Cang Cuo didn't get a response, Yue Tong turned his head and glanced at her, seemed to get a response, nodded, took the transparent glass bottle that Cang Cuo took out from his waist, trotted down all the way, held it in front of Meng Liang, and said: "Mr. Meng, please put two drops of blood into this bottle, and then we will go down the mountain."

"Take blood?" Chu Shou murmured, and then looked at Song Yanqing. She stepped forward and asked coldly, "Just going down the mountain? Does the antidote also have to be left behind?"

Yuetong frowned and stared at Chu Shou fiercely, his eyes made people feel disgusted and chilled, but Chu Shou stared back calmly, taking blood and keeping the antidote, it was only right and proper.

"Who are you? Are you worthy of asking for conditions? They deserve to be poisoned! These people..." Yue Tong said viciously, then looked around, and continued: "They don't deserve an antidote!"

The bandits were notorious for their many evil deeds, and they took the two of them up to the mountain again. The repeated offenses and insults wiped out the basic kindness and patience of the two of them. Cang Cuo insisted on eliminating them quickly, As for this Meng Liang, he also rescued them once, so he was lucky, he just took the blood, so he didn't have to die.
Seeing that she was not moving, Chu Shou looked up at Cangcuo, crossed his arms and sneered and said, "In order to make medicine, all the people in this village should be buried with you. That's how the old man Jiushan taught you to do things?"

Before Cang Cuo could respond, Ke Yanyue hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "She loves our patriarch the most, be careful...don't make her angry!"

The little Yue Tong in front of her gritted her teeth loudly, and her hand holding the glass bottle turned green and white. There seemed to be a fire in her eyes, as if it was about to erupt and swallow Chu Shou.

Then her eyes were covered by a figure. Yuetong raised his eyes and saw a person. Song Yan leaned forward and protected Chu Shou behind him. Cangcuo, the tails of his eyes were raised slightly, a little red, his dark and unclear eyes were like sharp knives, he looked straight at Yuetong who was drawing the knife behind his back, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and his whole body was shouting.

Yuetong suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and ran towards Cangcuo, and stood in front of Cangcuo like Song Yanqing, looking at them angrily.

Cangcuo's hand rested lightly on her shoulder again, moving slightly.

"Who are you?" Yuetong asked Chu Shou on behalf of Cangcuo.

Chu Shou patted Song Yanqing's raised arm lightly, signaling him to be at ease. She took two steps forward and showed a dark purple to black wooden bracelet on her wrist. Seniority, you should still call me Patriarch Grandma."

Ke Yanyue pursed her lips, thinking that she had agreed not to seek out relatives... The witch clan is gone, and they are still here to scare people. Cangcuo, the strangest of all monsters, was not scared out of his wits...

Cang Cuo seemed to be in a daze for a few seconds, and then he walked down the stage slowly and bowed.

Ke Yanyue was stunned, it really worked... She said, "Since that's the case, Cangcuo, quickly take out the antidote, and follow me down the mountain and return to the tribe."

Cangcuo's fingers resting on Yuetong's shoulders moved slightly. After hearing this, Yuetong smiled charmingly, squeezed his throat and said: "Since the young master knows what kind of medicine I want to refine, then he should know that refining this medicine is not easy. Prepare, there is only one man's blood left, I can't give up."

"Now I have changed my mind. If you give me the blood of the man beside you, I will give you the antidote..."

When Chu Shou heard this, he frowned. She was very ambitious and dared to ask for Ah Zhi's blood. Meng Liang saw that Chu Shou looked a little embarrassed, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and jumped out, "Only one person is missing, only one person is missing, girl!" Just take my blood, don't hurt the innocent."

"Take your blood? Your blood can't be exchanged for an antidote." Yuetong grinned, looking up at them with sinister eyes and a cunning tone.

"Ah……"

Chu Shou pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered, walked around the two of them and said, "If you are really humiliated in this cottage, Grandma Patriarch can make the decision for you, but..."

She walked to the side of Yang Hu who had fallen on the steps, turned over one side of his face, followed the back of his neck and pulled out a black thing from the two fingers on the left. It was a grass with teeth and claws. Hags, commonly known as Gu worms.

"It's just that you are so innocent. If I remember correctly, you have to refine the poison of Zui Mengyou. It is recorded in the book that the blood of a hundred people must be mixed with pure yang to make the medicine. Let me guess, Linglong The few leaders in the village are all sensible people, it is impossible to do something reckless, the only possibility is that you planted Gu worms, which changed their temperament drastically, and specially lured bandits to come to take you captive to the village, attracting people from the village. Civil strife, the ready-made pure yang blood in the cottage is enough for you to collect hundreds of times, if you want me, I would have done it a long time ago, so... don't pretend to be here with your grandparents."

Chu Shou turned around, smiled, and looked at Cangcuo steadfastly. She said, "You were not forced to go up the mountain, and poisoning was not a shame. It was purely part of your long-planned plan."

After finishing speaking, she casually threw the Gu worm in her hand into the wine glass at the side, and the Gu worm struggled in the wine for a few times before sinking quickly.

"That's it, so what?" Yuetong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy, her face was twisted with a smile, her voice was awkward and weird, but there was no movement behind her, she stood peacefully.

"How?" Chu Shou murmured following her words, then sneered, paced in front of him a few times, continued to meditate, and then said: "You must give this antidote."

"As I said, use his blood for the antidote." Yuetong's tone became more and more suitable for Cangcuo, she pointed at Song Yanqing and squeezed out a sentence between gnashing teeth, "As long as his blood!"

The two looked at each other, under the invisible line of sight, Ke Yanyue and Meng Liang looked at Chu Shou, as long as she nodded, they could immediately get the antidote from them, just a few drops of blood , Even hesitating about this matter is a waste of time.

But Chu Shou's reaction was out of everyone's expectation. She seemed to be looking at Song Yanqing from a distance. Just when the two of them thought she was finally going to make a decision, she answered very firmly. Said: "Impossible."

After hearing this, Ke Yanyue frowned in puzzlement and persuaded: "It's just a few drops of blood, we have no other better solution at the moment, just promise her!"

But Chu Shou was very determined. As soon as she mentioned Song Yanqing's blood, she couldn't help letting go of everything. There was only one thought in her mind: when they were young, they persecuted him to this point for his blood. Allow anyone to hurt him again in this way.

No, no one can.
