Chapter 70 Heart of Flowing Smoke
Chapter 70 Heart of Flowing Smoke
Xia Qingshu remembered that the Tree Coffin Man appeared last year in Dongyue, and was this tracking drug placed before Dongyue?I stayed in the barracks last winter, did you come into contact with any strange people?Xia Qingshu pinched her chin and pursed her lips to search for memories.
"The first time I sensed the tracking drug, you were in Nanjing City. You should have just been drugged at that time." Cai Zhujun reminded Xia Qingshu when he heard Xia Qingshu's muttering.
It turned out to be in the city of Nanjing!Xia Qingshu suddenly raised her head. She acted cautiously and was always cautious when dealing with strangers. How could she give them this opportunity to prescribe the medicine?Could it be a familiar person beside him?Who hides so deeply?
Ji Qianyao glanced at Xia Qingshu's expression, knowing that he would not be able to find out this scourge for a while.There is one more important thing right now, she needs to find a solution as soon as possible: "Miss Cai, this tracking drug is really scary. Do you have a way... to get rid of it?"
They were already at a disadvantage in terms of force, but now that the Tree Coffin Man has tracked them down, no matter where they go, there is no peace.This tracking drug must be removed no matter what.
Cai Zhujun pondered for a while, raised his eyes and said: "I heard they mentioned that after passing through Nagqu County, fifty miles north, there is a Yi'an Mountain. There is a good grass on Yi'an Mountain, which can cure the effect of this medicine."
Ji Qianyao was overjoyed: "Very good, when shall we set out to find grass?"
"It's not suitable today, wait until tomorrow to see." Cai Zhujun's eyes fell on the hole in the back wall, shook it slightly, and then turned back.
"Okay, I'll listen to Miss Cai." Cai Zhujun knew the most about the tree coffin man, so he naturally had to follow her advice more. Ji Qianyao had no objection, neither did Xia Qingshu and Liu Yan.
The five people talked for a long time in the room, and all of them were thirsty.There are many questions, so don't be in a hurry, Xia Qingshu stopped talking and suggested to rest.
The sun has risen, and the bright sunshine cannot erase the desolation of the uninhabited village.Collapsed house walls, dilapidated window frames, and cobweb-covered corners made the village deserted and peaceful.
Cai Zhujun can change his demon nature at will, and he can replenish his physical strength with the spirit of sunlight.The remaining four are different. They need to eat and drink to survive.
"I'm so hungry." Yang Xiyu whispered in Cai Zhujun's ear.She hadn't eaten for most of the day, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.Because of hunger, when the few people were talking, she diverted her attention several times, all of which were involuntary.
The two of them were in a hurry for the rest of the month, and Yang Xiyu could only eat some fruits grown from Cai Zhujun's rattan on the way. The oil and water in her stomach was reduced to nothing, and she lost a lot of weight.
For hundreds of years, Cai Zhujun has been eating by his demon nature, and he doesn't understand Yang Xiyu's taste.She shook her eyes, and the pocket on the right side of Tsing Yi immediately became bulging. She looked at Yang Xiyu and raised her chin in the direction of the pocket, "There is food in the pocket, take it yourself."
Yang Xiyu rested her head on Cai Zhujun's shoulder, lowered her head and pouted her mouth, and opened Cai Zhujun's pocket. The fingers of her right hand randomly moved the various fruits in the pocket, with some disgust.
These fruits are very fragrant, sweet and delicious, but they can't whet her appetite, not at all.
Cai Zhujun knows that Yang Xiyu likes beautiful things, and he does his best to make the rattan grow brightly colored, rounded and very pleasing fruits.
But this time, Yang Xiyu picked and picked for a long time, but still didn't pick up a fruit.
"Isn't it good-looking? I'll grow it again." She pulled out Yang Xiyu's hand, closed her pocket, and prepared to grow it again.
Yang Xiyu stopped her movement, raised her head, and looked at her with aggrieved eyes: "I don't want to eat fruit anymore, I want to eat meat."
"Meat? Why do you want to eat meat? Are these fruits not delicious?" Cai Zhujun obviously didn't understand, and looked at her with innocent eyes blinking.
"I just want to eat meat. I don't have the strength to walk without meat." Yang Xiyu leaned limply on Cai Zhujun's shoulder, and said weakly, "How thin do you think I am?"
Cai Zhujun patted her shoulders, and she was indeed a lot thinner than when they met, "If you want to eat meat, we will find it." After making love, Cai Zhujun doted on her more and more.She has always given Yang Xiyu whatever she wants.
Compared to the heaviness of the other three, these two seemed too relaxed.After they left the house hand in hand, their figures disappeared at the entrance of the village soon.
Liu Yan's expression was still tense, and he kept sitting in the same posture without saying a word.Xia Qingshu knew that her heart must be in a mess at this time, so she stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and said sincerely from the bottom of her heart: "Liu Yan, I believe in Anyi."
Liu Yan only nodded, didn't say much, then got up and walked out of the house. "I'm going to get some air." She turned her head and said.
Xia Qingshu knew Liu Yan's temper. He was brave and kind, but sometimes he would get into the horns.Her current state is too worrying.Xia Qingshu took a step forward, trying to stop Liu Yan so that he could unwind.Ji Qianyao stopped her first.Shaking his head, Ji Qianyao said, "Let her go."
Looking at Liu Yan's back, Xia Qingshu suppressed her worries in her heart.
Ji Qianyao had heard about Shen Anyi. When Xia Qingshu's palm was burned by firecrackers, it was Dr. Shen who healed him.Other than that, there is no more intersection.From her point of view, Dr. Shen is undoubtedly the most suspected person in the matter of drug tracking.
The medicine Xia Qingshu took and applied all passed through her hands.Xia Qingshu trusted her, so she wasn't so wary...
"You doubt Anyi?" Looking at Ji Qianyao's thoughtful expression, Xia Qingshu knew what she was thinking.
"Yes." Ji Qianyao admitted bluntly that it was inconvenient for her to announce the smoke just now, and now there were only the two of them in the room, and there was nothing to hide.
To her, there is nothing more important than Xia Qingshu's safety.
"If it is confirmed that Shen Anyi did the trick, then Liuyan and we... can no longer walk with her..." Ji Qianyao could see Liuyan's affection for Shen Anyi.She has trust in Liuyan, but as a matter of fact, how many people can escape its control?The experience handed down by the ancients: "It is easy to catch foreign thieves, but difficult to guard against domestic thieves." She can't take this risk.
Although it was cruel, Ji Qianyao had to do so.She hoped that Xia Qingshu would stand by her side.
"Qianyao, this..." Xia Qingshu's words were stuck in her throat, she was in a dilemma, and her heart was very tormented.
"You don't have to make things difficult. If you really confirm that Shen Anyi is the mastermind behind the scenes, I will punish him and show no mercy." Liu Yan walked in with a cold face and a cold tone.She didn't go far, and she heard all the conversations between the two inside.
"Please give me this chance to kill her with my own hands!" Liu Yan plunged her sword into the loess ground, bent down and clasped her fists. There was a row of deep tooth marks on her lower lip.
The two people inside froze.
Xia Qingshu stepped forward to help Liu Yan, frowned and said, "Liu Yan, I know your loyalty. But this matter has not yet been settled, so you don't have to."
"I have made up my mind, and I will not waver!"
***
After more than half an hour, the quiet mountain forest echoed the footsteps of the two.The fallen leaves were dried by the scorching sun, and as soon as the soles of their feet fell, there was a crisp sound of crushing leaves.
Yang Xiyu's face was full of smiles. In one hand, she was holding a rattan cage with two pheasants trapped in it. In the other hand, there was a basket straddling the elbow, and there were several corns in the basket.
Cai Zhujun was also holding the cage with a few fish inside, and resting on Yang Xiyu's waist with the other hand, swinging up and down with her bouncing steps.Like a child, Cai Zhujun has nothing to do with her.
"Let's eat meat together! Yo~" With a few feet away from the room, Yang Xiyu's hearty laughter came into the room.Xia Qingshu and Liu Yan came out of the house and greeted them.
"I'll clean it up, you've worked hard, go inside and rest."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, I want to help too." Yang Xiyu hadn't experienced the excitement of many people for a long time, so she joined in with a smile.
"I'll go inside." Cai Zhujun didn't have much interest in killing chickens and cooking. She said to Yang Xiyu, and then walked into the house. Finally, she remembered something, turned around and reminded: "Don't touch other people's hands."
"Okay." Yang Xiyu replied sweetly as if her heart had been wiped with honey.
Cai Zhujun entered the house, and saw a window with sunlight in the first glance, and she walked towards it.The hunting just now consumed a lot of her spiritual energy, and she needs to stand still to accumulate some more.
After entering Yunnan, it is different from the past. She should maintain sufficient aura at all times, so that she can resist with all her strength when the enemy strikes.
Seeing her coming in, Ji Qian nodded and smiled, and Cai Zhujun nodded in response.
"Miss Cai, do I have another question to ask you?"
"Please say."
"Is there a purpose for us to stay in this village?"
"Wait for the tree coffin man." Cai Zhujun walked under the window, with his back to the wall, letting the sun shine on her waterfall-like long hair.
"Will the tree coffin man come tonight?"
"Perhaps. If we don't come, we will wait a few more days. I think that since we have encountered it, cutting it off is the best way. If you just avoid it, you will have endless troubles."
"So that's how it is." Ji Qianyao was filled with joy and gratitude when he thought that Cai Zhujun would help them kill the man in the tree coffin.She clasped her fists in thanks and said, "Miss Cai's kindness is something we will never forget. If there is an opportunity, we will try our best to repay it."
"No need." Cai Zhujun said lightly, "The removal of the Tree Coffin Man is also for myself. Their current target is not only Xia Qingshu, but also me. The moment I break out of control, they will define me as a traitor."
Facing these attacks alone, Cai Zhujun will not be afraid.But now that Yang Xiyu is beside her, the situation is different.She was worried that she would not be able to protect Yang Xiyu when she was fighting the Tree Coffin Man.
There is strength in numbers, and when necessary, she also needs to rely on the help of others.This was the most complete reason why she saved Xia Qingshu.
