Reborn!The terminally ill prince is looking at me again

Chapter 5 The atmosphere is a bit awkward

The ebony forest has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is irrigated by rain all year round. There are many herbs growing in the forest.

Hua Zuili carried the basket, and cut off a plant of purple-leaved mannose to look at it. The herb Fu Bo asked her to find was probably this kind.

But Ganluzi, which even half-learned medical students know, is just an ordinary herb used to fight cold, and the pharmacy on the main street costs two cents a plant, so there is no need to deliberately look for it. To put it bluntly, this is to save her .

Hua Zuili thought of Uncle Fu's extreme vigilance in front of Xiaoya in the hot spring just now, guarding against her decisive attitude of plotting against his master, and became angry.

Will she plot against Mei Zhuoxue?Oh, unless she's crazy.

Picking three or five manna seeds and putting them into the basket, Huazuili walked slowly along the mountain stream towards the deep forest.

This is a good place to kill people and bury their bodies.

Hua Zuili stepped on the boulder with her arms crossed, looking down at the dense forest at the bottom of the cliff.

"Help!"

who?Hua Zuili was thinking about how to lure Mei Zhuoxue here alone, when she heard a cry for help.

At first she thought she heard it wrong, but the cries for help followed one after another without interruption.She followed the sound and walked down the mountain stream. Among the trees, she saw a trap specially dug by wild animals on the open grass.

The dry straw covered on it has sunk into a pit, and it is from inside that the cry for help came.

"Who's in there?" Hua Zuili squatted down and asked.

"Young master! Save me, please save me!"

Faintly, Hua Zuili seemed to see a thin figure sitting slumped on the ground, with one leg bent and the other straight, but because of the shade above the head, the details were not clear.

"Wait a minute." She replied, got up, pulled down the winding vines on the nearby mountain wall, tied one side to the big tree, and threw the other side to the bottom of the pit.

"You can grab the vine and climb up, don't worry, I will stretch it for you and it won't break."

The person at the bottom of the pit paused: "Young master, I... can't climb up."

Hua Zuili asked: "Why?"

The man faltered and mumbled for a long time, Hua Zuili listened to it, and threw away the nonsense, it was just that he was injured and couldn't move, and someone needed to take him up.

"Tsk, trouble." Hua Zuili threw the herb basket to the bottom of the pit. She didn't think she was a virtuous and virtuous lady, but as the daughter of the prime minister and the niece of General Fu, she shouldered the responsibility of the two families. glory.

It has become a habit to not tolerate any stains in words and deeds.

Hua Zuili rolled up the sleeves of her robe, and hid the mowing scythe in her back waist. In the deep mountains and old forests, caution is the first priority. If the person underneath is not a kind person, she doesn't mind killing harm for the people here.

After everything was ready, she went down the vine, and only after she walked in did she see clearly that this was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, and a plump spirit like jade, but his lips were a little white and his expression was in a trance.

She walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The young man pointed to his straight leg, and Hua Zuili looked at it, only to see a black scaled snake tightly wrapped around his leg, its sharp teeth had already pierced through his clothes, and it was deeply embedded in his skin.

"What kind of snake is this? It's pretty pretty." Hua Zuili squatted down and looked at it carefully. Although the snake was black, it seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, with shiny scales, which was really beautiful.

"The black golden lin python is poisonous."

"A poisonous snake."

Hua Zuili's eyes lit up instantly, this is a treasure.

She held the snake's head with one hand, took out a sickle with the other hand to hook the snake's teeth, and pried it up slightly.

The black-scaled snake was in pain, spitting out the letter hissingly, its tail curled up, tightly wrapped around its drunken arm.

Hua Zuili was not in a hurry, with a smile in his eyes, with a flick of his left hand, the black-scaled snake was smashed onto the dirt wall next to him, his head drooped instantly, and he became quiet.

"Don't worry, the snake is dead, it's all right." Hua Zuili patiently explained to the boy.

"Ah? Oh..." The boy murmured in response.

Hua Zuili put the snake into the basket behind his back, then rummaged out a few herbs and walked in: "My medical skills are not very smart, I can only stop the bleeding for you, I can't remove the toxin, but the blood hasn't changed color, think about it The snake venom should not be too deep."

As she said that, she had finished bandaging the boy.

The young man moved his legs and said gratefully: "Thank you, young master, for your help. My name is Chen Zhisheng. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you, young master."

Hua Zuili paused suddenly: "You said, your surname is Chen."

Chen Zhisheng didn't understand, so he said, "Yes."

"Then Chen Youheng is yours..."

"My brother."

"Oh."

Hua Zuili nodded, and held the sickle in her hand again, "Do you know who I am?"

Chen Zhisheng hurriedly cupped his hands: "Indeed, I haven't asked the young master's name yet."

Hua Zuili smiled faintly: "The flowers will become clouds."

As soon as the name came out, the atmosphere was instantly a little weird.

Chen Zhisheng lowered his head and dodged, with a complicated expression on his face. Seeing this, Hua Zuili understood that he had already heard about Chen Youheng.

"I know, but I don't blame Young Master Cheng Yun for this matter." Chen Zhisheng said seriously, "It's my elder brother who spoke rudely first, and what Young Master Cheng Yun did is reasonable."

Hua Zuili asked: "You say that because you still need me to save you up?"

Chen Zhisheng froze, pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "I don't deny this selfishness, but the more important reason...he is the concubine, and I am the concubine."

Since ancient times, there has been an orderly hierarchy and a distinction between elder and younger. Although there is a one-letter difference between a legitimate son and a concubine, their status and circumstances are vastly different.

The first son is prominent, has a noble status, and is supported by his mother's family. The second son, who is the same father, has all kinds of identities. What's more, he is just a leftover son after a night. No one cares about it. .

For this reason, if some concubine children want to stand out and make their families look after them, they not only have to work a thousand times and ten thousand times harder, and have both sides in the family, but if necessary, they need to get rid of their sons quietly.

The fact that Chen Zhisheng showed his identity was to show that no matter what disasters Chen Youheng caused or what punishment he suffered, it was beneficial to him and not harmful to him.

Hua Zuili understands this, but it doesn't mean that he should relax his vigilance against him, who knows if this person has any evil intentions.

She put away the sickle, turned around and went to pull the vines beside the pit.

"Master Cheng Yun, you..."

Chen Zhisheng looked at Hua Zuili who was holding on to the vine and wanted to climb up, a little dazed, he stood up hastily, and limped forward a few steps.

"Are you going up..."

"Yes." Hua Zuili nodded calmly.

Chen Zhisheng was even more confused: "Then, then I..."

"I came down to help you heal your wounds." Hua Zuili stretched out her arms, letting him see her thin body clearly. "It's very difficult to take you up. I still have this bit of self-knowledge."

"I'll go up first, and then find someone to rescue you. It's better than two people trying randomly, what do you think?"

Chen Zhisheng was silent.
