Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 9 Hundred Poisons Invincible
What Ji Zhiyue delivered was like a long letter, tearing open the thin envelope, Yue Wujiu thought that he would see Mr. Ji's handwriting, but he didn't expect that what caught his eyes was his father's handwriting— —

"I am the life of the country. When the country is in danger, I will go through fire and water, and use the power of a mayfly to survive."

This is, it is actually a test paper that the once young and handsome Lord Yue wrote to the teacher eloquently!
The whole article revolves around the people in the mountains and rivers, directly discussing the long-standing diseases and long-standing disadvantages, and the ending sentence is even more sonorous and passionate, piercing the back of the paper, reflecting a young man's most devout loyalty and deep love for his family and country.

How could such a person betray the belief in his heart, how could he raise an army to conspire against him, and become a traitor and traitor that the world scolded?

Yue Wujiu held the test paper that crossed the long river of time, even the corners were a little yellowed, but it was still well preserved, his hands trembled slightly, his eyes gradually became moist, Ji Zhiyue sighed next to him, and continued to say softly :
"After my grandfather asked me to go to the island, I must find Yue Shizi and hand over this test paper to you personally. He said that you will understand after reading it."

"Grandfather also asked me to bring a message to the son. He said that the disciple he taught himself, his most proud disciple, and the pride of his life, is a great hero with a family and country in his heart, and a clear breeze in the moonlight. A traitor, a treacherous traitor who betrayed his country."

"He believes in your father, but I believe in my grandfather."

Hearing this sentence, the young man suddenly raised his head and stared at Ji Zhiyue's serious eyes. The girl obviously felt his ups and downs, and continued to comfort him:

"Grandfather knew that the son was going through drastic changes, and he was worried about the son. Before leaving, he told me to help the son more after I went to the island. If the son encounters any troubles, I will do my best to help."

"The son is young and handsome, and the road of life has just begun. Don't get discouraged, break your pride, lose your fighting spirit. Everything is possible in the future. As long as the son does not give up, he will one day reverse the case for his father and return to the imperial city. It is unknown, the son. Say yes?"

With a soft and thin voice, he said words full of encouragement, each word deeply touched Yue Wujiu's heart, his eyes were red, his chest heaved and heaved uncontrollably.

Compared with the Shi family's coldness, ungratefulness, and even worse, the Ji family is not only not afraid of getting involved, but also gives them a great deal of trust, and the most important thing is this trust——

It turns out that in this world, he is not the only one who firmly believes that his father will never rebel, there are other loyal people who are with him, who believe in his father and the innocence of the Yue family!
He wants to reverse the case, he must reverse the case, clean up his father's grievances, and revive the Yue clan!
"It's great, the little gray cat is alive again..."

With the candlelight flickering, Shi Xuanling looked at the gray lynx on Yue Wujiu's shoulder that had rekindled its fighting spirit, raised its head in tears, and had an extremely resolute expression. He couldn't help but murmured, stretched out his hand, and gently covered the boy's clenched fist, leaving him speechless. consolation and consolation.

Hearing Shi Xuanling's voice, Ji Zhiyue's long eyelashes moved, and she came back to her senses: "The most urgent thing right now is to help Miss Shi catch the hundred sea centipedes within three days and complete the bet."

"Zhizhi, you can just call me Little Bell, I don't like the surname Shi."

Shi Xuanling curled her lips and said bluntly: "The Shi family is not good, they are ungrateful, hypocritical and disgusting, they are not good to me, and they are not good to your son."

These words were full of affection and childishness, but made Ji Zhiyue laugh, she looked at Shi Xuanling, and said sincerely: "Okay, little bell, I will help you catch those one hundred sea centipedes. "

The "help" Ji Zhiyue said was definitely not a verbal perfunctory, but a serious plan for Shi Xuanling.

"Before I came to the island, I read all the books and records related to Yunzhou Island. I don't have any talent, but I have a good memory. I can't forget the books. I still remember the records about the sea centipede. Clearly."

This is a unique poison in Yunzhou Island. It is several times larger than centipedes in other places. Its body is covered with sharp poisonous thorns. Ordinary people should not touch it easily, otherwise they will be infected with strange poison. Once the poison is not detoxified in time, It will bleed to death from the seven orifices.

The habits of these sea centipedes are also quite weird. They like to drink human blood and cannibalize human flesh. Rotten corpses are their favorite.

They also like to hide in the cool place of the stone pile, and their temperament is particularly "fierce". When catching them, they should not be clamped with ordinary tools, which will cause them to strongly resist, which will lead to the rapid secretion of venom in a short period of time and melt themselves away——

Yes, Lao Tzu is so stubborn, he would rather destroy himself than let you get it!

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to really catch a sea centipede, but if you want to catch a hundred in just three days, go ahead and dream!
No wonder Zhong Lisheng gave Shi Xuanling a high-five with confidence, because he knew that this was an impossible task!

"By hand, don't disturb them with tools like bamboo clips, just grab them gently with your hands, is it feasible?"

Vigorous and tough as Shi Xuanling, how could she give up so easily, she directly put forward this unimaginable plan, Yue Wujiu's eyes widened in an instant, just as he was about to speak, Ji Zhiyue next to him had already analyzed it one step ahead of him:
"The sea centipede likes the smell of human flesh. You approach it slowly, luring it to climb into your palm, and then put it into the jar prepared in advance. It should be feasible, but—"

Ji Zhiyue looked at Shi Xuanling, who was full of expectations, and said carefully, "You will be poisoned, and you will be injured by the sharp thorns on the sea centipede. I am afraid that if you can't catch ten of them, you will die from the poison and fall to the ground." Sorry, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm sure!" Shi Xuanling agreed excitedly when he heard that the solution was feasible, "I won't be poisoned, the venom from the sea centipede is not enough for me to take a bath!"

She raised her slender and slender hand and shook it in front of Yue Wujiu and Ji Zhiyue. Accompanied by the crisp bell, the girl's face was full of proud smiles.

"I have been soaked in all kinds of venom since I was a child. When I was a child, I ran all over the mountains with my mother. I have seen poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants. Nothing can poison me. I have long been invulnerable to all poisons. Another thousand, ten thousand sea centipedes, I'm fine!"

"Xuan Ling, this is not fun, I don't want you to take such risks for me..."

"No, no, no, I'm not in any danger, it's true, son, you believe me, I'm really invulnerable to all poisons!"

As if eager to prove himself, Shi Xuanling quickly brought up his memories: "Not long after my mother passed away when I was young, my father went out to run some errands. The lady in the mansion brought me a bowl of chicken soup with a strong poison in it. What is it called Jueming Wan? It sounds scary, it is colorless and odorless, and it will make people die painfully after taking it."

"The madam wanted to poison me with this. I drank the bowl of chicken soup in a daze. In the middle of the night, I heard the madam talking to the housekeeper outside the window. They all said that I would definitely die, but I only had a stomachache all night. I was wrapped in Under the quilt, I broke out in some cold sweat from head to toe, and I was fine the next day."

"When the eldest lady saw me alive and kicking the next day, her face turned pale with fright, and she thought she had hit a ghost! She also ate fast and recited the Buddha's name, and copied scriptures for a long time, and she never dared to poison me again!"

"She always thought that the Bodhisattva was protecting me, and she was afraid that she would be punished by the Bodhisattva if she did bad things again. But there are so many poor people in the world, how can the Bodhisattva save them? It's clear that I huddled under the quilt and carried it with force!"

When mentioning the past, Shi Xuanling didn't care, instead the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with smiles, Yue Wugui and Ji Zhiyue looked at each other with serious expressions, neither of them could laugh.

The more Shi Xuanling described that night as a child lightly and wittily, the more sad and distressing it was. After all, the little child that year was only nine years old and had just lost his mother. To be poisoned and murdered deliberately.

In the dark room, when she endured the pain all over her body and huddled tightly in the bed, how helpless, how scared, and how much she missed... her hometown, that distant and untouchable place.

Yue Wujiu suddenly understood Shi Xuanling's obsession for so many years, why she wanted to go back to Qingli Mountain, back to her tribe, because that was her real... home.

"Didn't you tell your father about this?" The young man's voice was trembling, obviously holding back all kinds of emotions.

Shi Xuanling said indifferently: "I said it, but my father didn't believe it. Instead, he scolded me for eating recklessly and causing a bad stomach. After all, the medicine is so poisonous. If I really took it, how could I survive? I just knew He didn't believe it. After all, my father's spirit-transformer was a 'stubborn donkey'. He didn't look very smart, so no matter what the eldest lady would do in the future, I didn't bother to tell him. He wouldn't care about me anyway. of……"

The girl babbled, and began to say some words that others could not understand, but Yue Wugui looked at her motionlessly, her long eyes were full of bottomless... heartache.

"So, it turns out that these years in Shi's house...you lived like this?"

When he and Shi Xuanqin went out for an outing, flying a kite carefree in the sky, the girl trapped in the attic was living a lonely, bullying day after day like this.

For some reason, that day of that year resurfaced before him, when he slipped into Shi's mansion through the back door, and when he looked up, he saw the scene of a young girl sitting alone by the fence on the attic.

The thin long skirt barely covered her ankles, and in the breeze, her bare feet were dangling in mid-air.

At that time, the young man blushed and only cared about the girl's snow-white bare feet, but now that he thinks about it, he can belatedly realize how much Shi Xuanling, who sat alone by the fence that year, was—

Poor, a deserted, self-talking, only accompanied by white clouds in the sky... Poor shadow.

Perhaps it was because of this that the pair of shoes he casually gave her, and the warmth he gave her inadvertently, seemed so precious, right?
Yue Wujiu took a deep breath, and suddenly said to Shi Xuanling, "Xuanling, I'm sorry."

The self in that year did too little for her. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely climb to the attic, sit on the ground with her, chat and spend every lonely day and night with her.

"My son, what you say to me is sorry, and it's none of your business."

Shi Xuanling obviously didn't see Yue Wujiu's tender heart hidden under the stern exterior, just waved his hand, and said with a carefree smile: "Everything is over, it doesn't matter, I'm not doing well now. Are you alive? You can eat, drink, and sleep, and your body is stronger than anyone else. Back then, the eldest lady failed to poison me, but now there are only a hundred sea centipedes here, and they will not hurt me at all!"

As she said, she moved closer to Yue Wugui, shook his hands, and begged eagerly like a spoiled child: "My lord, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine. I want to live in the Lanxin Courtyard with you, just let me try, okay?"

Yue Wujiu couldn't resist this move, he was hesitating: "Xuan Ling, I..."

Ji Zhiyue on the other side of the table stood up abruptly, making up his mind: "No, I have to find someone to help!"

She has a clear mind, and she has already planned very far without saying a word, "Even if Shi Gu...Little Bell really catches sea centipedes with her hands, she can't gather a hundred of them in three days. These things are very rare and difficult to disperse." Mi, I have to find someone to help dig a corpse pit and lure a lot of them in..."

"Look, looking for someone to help dig the corpse pit?" Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling were both stunned.

"That's right, the young master doesn't allow the prince to intervene, so I can only go to another person for help. Time is running out, so I have to ask that person to agree tonight!"

Ji Zhiyue replied bluntly, as if everything had been planned, she picked up the treasure chest on the table confidently, and walked straight outside.

This resolute and agile manner really didn't match the girl's pink, tender, dazed appearance. Shi Xuanling couldn't help asking behind her: "Zhizhi, where are you going?"

Ji Zhiyue didn't turn her head back, and only dropped three words: "Go and give gifts!"
