Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 68 The Undead Medicine (4)
"Zi Jin, throw him with your stick." Just when Wang Zijin was about to lose his target, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him.He waved his hand in a strange way, and the wooden stick smashed straight at the figure in front of him with the momentum of a fierce wind.

"Ah!" The man fell to the ground in response, making a muffled sound not far ahead.

"I actually hit it!" Wang Zijin danced happily, "I can catch the thief myself, let's see who dares to say that I am useless in the future!"

"It's just a success for a while, what's there to be happy about?" Fei Xiao's white shadow flashed, she passed the prince, and ran to the fallen man to look carefully.

"You must be jealous of me." Wang Zijin was intoxicated in his dream, "I just threw it with all my strength and knocked down the thief!"

"Zijin, you are really good," Qingling followed, and smiled at him, "But next time you can throw it when Feixiao is not around, and see how far you can throw it."

"Qingling, I seem to be wrong." Not far away, Feixiao's expression was serious, as if she was very disappointed.

Wang Zijin also ran over, and saw a man dressed as a servant lying on the ground, but he rolled his eyes and seemed to have fainted, "It really is a ghost, but I didn't expect it to be a servant."

"It's not him..." Fei Xiao pointed at the servant's waist and said, "He doesn't have a key, so he probably heard the noise and ran over to help."

"Could it be..." Wang Zijin suddenly had a bad feeling, "My stick, did he hit him?"

"It may be that the moment you shot, he also jumped out to arrest people, and ended up being a scapegoat."

"Ah? Then what should we do? When we were talking, didn't the thief escape long ago?"

"As long as he has shown his body, there is no possibility of escape." Fei Xiao glanced at Qing Ling, and smiled slightly, "Qing Ling, do you think we can catch him back?"

"It's been a long time since I hunted, but if the prey is an individual, it shouldn't miss." Qing Ling suddenly grabbed Wang Zijin's belt and said, "Zi Jin, be careful!"

"Be careful..." Wang Zijin yelled, suddenly felt that his feet were not touching the ground, his body was about to fly, the surrounding scenes flew by quickly, it turned out that Qing Ling was holding him and running in the dark night.

"You catch thieves, why do you drag me in?" Wang Zijin ran out of breath, sweating profusely, and couldn't help complaining.

"How can we do without you?" Qing Ling never forgot to tease him, "I still need you to throw the stick at the critical moment."

Wang Zijin had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and followed to catch the thief obediently.

I saw Fei Xiao jumping over the corridor in a few vertical leaps, like a flash of white lightning, cutting through the darkness, and disappearing in a dark corner under the wall in an instant.

"There is a back door over there, leading directly to the back mountain. Fei Xiao must have found the trace of the thief." After all, Qingling dragged the prince in, her legs were slightly sluggish, and the two rushed to the dark corner, and they saw a small back door. It's a lie, but the locks are covered with rust spots, as if they haven't been used for a long time.

"It seems that he always enters and exits through this imperceptible small door." Wang Zijin said hastily.

"Probably so." Qing Ling pushed open the small door, quickened her pace and chased after him, "I've already found a trace, let's see how far he can run."

"Hey, wait for me." For some reason, Qing Ling stopped running with him, but made him terrified.In the jungle at night, the wind is blowing, and it seems that a ghost can jump out of the shadow of the trees at any time.

Behind the mountain is a large lush bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves sway gently and rustle in the night wind.

Mr. Cheng really knows how to choose a place. Everyone says that no bamboo makes people vulgar. If he puts his home next to such a large bamboo forest, even if he doesn't refine immortal medicines, he will almost become a half-celestial being!

However, he had just run a few steps in the forest when he heard a shrill cry from the depths of the bamboo forest.Wang Zijin's heart tightened, he hurriedly turned around, and ran towards the place where the scream came from.

There stood a snow-white figure, and another blue figure, standing opposite him.The two were in a blocking position, as if they were blocking someone's way, and after looking intently, Wang Zijin saw a shivering person crawling on the ground.

Wang Zijin ran two steps over, pointed at the people on the ground and asked, "Is he the one who stole the medicine?"

"Probably." Feixiao spread her hands and smiled, "I heard his running footsteps, so I followed him, but just jumped off the bamboo, he was so frightened that I couldn't help but collapse!"

Wang Zijin carefully looked at the person on the ground, and saw that the person was wearing a gray cloth robe, with a gentle face, he turned out to be a young scholar.

"This, this is the thief who stole medicine?" Wang Zijin saw that the person was about the same size as him, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"It's probably him, otherwise he wouldn't have run for his life in a hurry!"

"My lord, my lord, help me!" The man came to his senses when he saw Wang Zijin, and stretched out his hand to him, "It seems that you have read the books, so you must be more reasonable than them."

"What? He means that the two of us look like illiterates, so it doesn't make sense?" Qingling snorted, seeming very dissatisfied.

"That's right, you've read the books..." Fei Xiao approached with a smile on her face, "Didn't it be said in the book that a gentleman doesn't steal people's love? A gentleman should behave uprightly? Why do you still do it?" thief?"

The scholar was at a loss for words when he was asked a single sentence by Fei Xiao, and suddenly his face flushed with excitement. After a long time, he bowed his head and said: "Young master's words are very true, but it's a pity that I have read so many books, but none of them can tell me. When you meet someone How should I deal with the beautiful woman I've been thinking about day and night."

This voice was very familiar, and Wang Zijin's heart trembled, because it was the male voice he heard in the medicine garden last night.

"Oh? So, you took the risk because of your beauty?" Qing Ling laughed after hearing this, "Could it be that her life is at stake?"

"No, it's because her family thinks I'm poor and refuses to marry their daughter to me. That's why I decided to steal the elixir medicine and sell it for money, so that I can let her live in a good manner."

"Who is that woman?" Wang Zijin hurriedly took a step and asked anxiously.

"I can't say..." The scholar said regretfully, holding his head, "If her reputation is ruined, I might as well die."

"Zi Jin, do you still need to guess?" Fei Xiao pointed to a large bunch of keys hanging on his waist, "Apart from the girl from the Cheng family, how can there be another person who can get him the whole set of keys? And he is in the Cheng family. It’s like walking in your own courtyard.”

Hearing his words, the scholar immediately widened his eyes, as if he saw a terrifying ghost.

"Actually, why do you bother so much?" Fei Xiao shook her head and smiled, "I heard from Qingling that the Cheng family lady went crazy overnight because of refusing to marry, most likely because of you."

"Yes, in order to marry me, Ning'er pretended to be crazy and foolish every day, and suffered all kinds of grievances!"

"But tonight is different from the past. When your marriage proposal was rejected, the Cheng family girl was still a beautiful woman. Now the Cheng family thinks she is really crazy. If you go to propose marriage again, they will happily agree, let alone look at it." You are poor or rich."

Feixiao's words awakened the dreamer, and the scholar suddenly jumped up, seemingly full of infinite power, Chao Qingling and Feixiao couldn't help but express their gratitude, their joy was beyond words.

"By the way, we still have something to ask you." Seeing him dancing happily, Qing Ling asked, "Is it true that you didn't take the medicine?"

"If I've already got the medicine, why take the risk tonight?"

"One month ago, on the night of the accident, did you go to the stone house?"

"I went..." The scholar's face suddenly turned pale, as if remembering something terrible, "But when I went, the girl's body was already lying on the ground, and the medicine box was dug open, and it was empty inside. I searched the house for a long time, but couldn't find it anywhere, so I had to sneak out again."

"That's not right..." Fei Xiao frowned when she heard this, "Madam Cheng clearly said that there was a miserable scream that night, and they heard it, and found that the elixir was stolen, and the girl was lying in a pool of blood... "

"Wait, you, what did you just say?" the scholar suddenly asked tremblingly.

"He said the girl was lying in a pool of blood." Wang Zijin couldn't help feeling a little sad when he thought of June, and sighed, "The girl was killed by someone cutting her neck, don't you know?"

"Don't be joking..." He looked at the three of them with a terrified expression, "When I went, her neck was not broken at all, and she fell to the ground as if she was asleep, but she didn't breathe at all."

The wind blows the bamboo leaves, making a soft rustling sound, like playing a mysterious ballad.

"Shall we let him go like this?" Candlelight was like beans, Wang Zijin lay reclining on the bed, fiddling with a large bunch of keys in his hand, which was exactly the one hanging on the scholar's waist.

"They didn't do anything, and it's related to a woman's reputation, so it's better not to make it a big deal." After Fei Hong said, she looked at Qing Ling and said, "I can't do anything this time, this matter is too weird, isn't it There are thieves eyeing this medicine of immortality?"

"So someone went in before him, took the medicine, and killed someone. After him, someone went in. The man didn't get the medicine, but he was discovered by the girl who was not dead, and gave the girl a fatal blow. One knife, and return empty-handed?" Qingling frowned and analyzed.

"The possibility is too small!" This time even Wang Zijin couldn't listen anymore, "When it was discovered, the door of the stone house was locked from the inside, and it was so strong, how could it be possible for anyone to come in and out?"

"Let's have a good rest today, and make plans tomorrow." Fei Xiao looked at the crescent moon outside the window and sighed, Jun's face was full of exhaustion, and she and Qing Ling walked out of the room, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Wang Zijin had never seen him so lonely, knowing that his painstaking arrangements had disappeared in an instant, he couldn't help feeling sad, he looked at the full moon outside the window and fell into deep meditation.

The medicine of immortality?The medicine of immortality!But what is the method to know that this medicine can really have the effect of immortality?
He slowly brought himself into the scene, imagining that he was an old man who had been pursuing fairy arts all year round.Every time you refine a pill, you must be excited, right?But with the pills in hand, you must not dare to take them yourself.

But I still want to know the properties of the medicine, what should I do at this time?The best way is to find people or animals to test drugs!

When he thought of this, his mind suddenly became clear, and as soon as he turned over, he sat up from the bed, put on his outer robe, and ran to Feihong's room.

"Fei Xiao, I know." Without even knocking on the door, he pushed open the carved wooden door, only to see Fei Xiao was sitting under the candlelight, showing a gentle smile at him.
