Chapter 30 The spread of poison

There is a well-known shop in Fengdu City. It can provide you with three meals a day. It tastes good and is affordable. It is truly high quality and low price. At the lantern festival last night, Lu Yao not only took Shu He around, but also

He inquired about the information. For example, the pastries of such-and-such family are excellent, the drinks of such-and-such family are excellent, etc. He even knew exactly which courtesan in the Red Mansion was the most beautiful.

Chu Liandong followed the two of them to the well-known Kelaixiang Restaurant. They arrived very early, and they thought they would be the first table, but they didn't expect that two tables of people had already eaten.

The three of them chose a table in the corner and sat down. The restaurant waiter came over to serve tea and recommended the dishes: "Guests, what would you like to eat? Our crabmeat dumplings and haggis soup are excellent!"

"Then come all, a few more crab noodle buns, three portions of haggis soup, and those dry wontons. Ask for the biggest portion!"

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he turned to look at the other two people: "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Jiang Lingxu shook his head, and Chu Liandong said sheepishly: "I don't eat mutton, so I don't want the mutton soup. Lu Yao, I want to eat that fried bun, it's so delicious!"

She looked at the small buns placed on other tables. Each one was fried to a crispy brown, with chopped green onions sprinkled on top. They looked delicious.

Lu Yao looked in the direction she pointed, his eyes brightened instantly, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and he said to the ordering clerk: "Just two portions of haggis soup, and a little more of that bun."

Jiang Lingxu reminded: "Remember to pack a copy and take it back to junior brother."

"Yes, yes!" Lu Yao suddenly said: "Let us eat first, and after we finish eating, we will pack up the ones we just ordered, and I want to take them away!"

The waiter who ordered the food laughed and said, "Okay! Please wait a moment, sir. Our master chef will serve it to you immediately! I guarantee that you will want to eat it again!"

The three of them sat and waited for their meal. Chu Liandong took advantage of the waiting time to ask Jiang Lingxu: "When did Shu He leave? Why did he get up so early to go find Nao Shizi's secret sentry?"

Jiang Lingxu raised his eyes and glanced around, and whispered: "In addition to selling information, Chilingtang also engages in the killer business. The two are inseparable. Naturally, this kind of business can only be done when the moon is dark and there is no one around.

.”

Is this the day and night of the animal world?

"Is Shu He okay alone? Wasn't she kidnapped last time she was alone?"

Such a sincere question made Mr. Jiang feel embarrassed again. Chu Lian had to run into all the embarrassing things in his life.

Lu Yao responded and complained: "You have a misunderstanding about Shu He. She is very cruel! If we compete with hidden weapons, we can only run away in front of her! Of course, she will definitely not be able to defeat me in a sword competition. So, you

You can rest assured that Shu He will basically make no mistakes, well, except for the time when he sent the letter."

Jiang Lingxu's face turned dark.

Fortunately, breakfast was served at this time, and the three of them tacitly agreed not to speak, and Lu Yao was able to avoid a beating. The stupid boy knew how to show off his food, and had no idea that he had escaped.

After a while, there were gradually more people in the restaurant, and by the time the three of them finished eating, there was a long queue outside.

Chu Liandong sighed, those who get up early will have food to eat.

On the other side, Shu He came back from checking the news and stood in front of the unconscious Song Jibai's bed with his arms folded. The beautiful and gentle face of Juan was gloomy at this time. She lifted the quilt of the man on the bed and pinched his wrist.

.The cuffs fall to the crook of the elbow as they rise, and a blue-black blood vessel starting from the wrist seems to be climbing up.

The blood vessels that were once only one finger long have now spread to the length of a palm.

Mr. Zhou once said that after the Jinghua poison is released, the poisoned person will get better and better as it spreads, until it invades the heart, and finally briefly recovers to its peak and then suddenly dies. Originally, Mr. Zhou expected that Song

Jibai still has at least three months to go, but it has only been six days now. At this rate, people may not survive more than a month.

She frowned, something must have happened without her knowing, otherwise the poison would not have spread so quickly.

When exactly is it?

Shu He lowered his eyes and thought. Chu Liandong and Song Jibai disappeared for a period of time last night. During this period, she had no idea what they did, where they went, who they met, or what happened.

.

When both of them came back last night, they were in normal condition and didn't notice anything different. Seeing that neither of them took the initiative to mention it, they thought it was nothing. Now it seems that they have to cross-examine it carefully.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a noise downstairs, as if someone was arguing about something. Shu He couldn't hear clearly because of the distance.

She took off the quilt on the bed. Song Jibai was wearing a pair of obscene clothes, and his black hair was scattered on the bed sheets, which was very messy and beautiful. The smiling lips were tightly pressed into a straight line at the moment, as pale as his face.

At a glance, you can feel the discomfort of the person on the bed. There is constant cold sweat on his sweaty forehead, and a strand of hair is wet and clinging to the side of his face. Shu He frowned, gritted his teeth, and spread it out on the bed.

The long needles on the side flew out one after another under her control, hanging above Song Jibai in an orderly manner, aiming at each acupuncture point accurately.

How else to say that medicine does not distinguish between poison and poison? To be honest, Shu He actually has no medical skills, but she knows no less about the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body than doctors, and even knows more than most doctors.

thorough.

Thanks to Mr. Zhou's thoughtful thinking, after Song Jibai developed the poison, in order to avoid emergencies, he taught her how to apply acupuncture to suppress it, and she happened to be using it now.

The noise downstairs was getting louder and louder. Shu He could also hear the yelling of people throwing tables. Her expression was extremely bad. Applying acupuncture required her to devote all her concentration. If she was slightly disturbed, Song Jibai would most likely be poisoning her.

Before you die, die under your own needle.

The hanging needles trembled slightly under control. Shu He concentrated more. After all the needles hanging on the acupuncture points were stabilized, she slowly sank into Song Jibai's body with internal force. During this process, she had to control the needles.

Only by sealing up people's impetuous Qi can we further prevent toxins from spreading along with the Qi.

The noise downstairs became even louder, and a group of people even walked up to the second floor. Their footsteps were steady and strong. They were all practitioners, but their martial arts were not high, so they were probably thugs and the like.

Shu He heard them standing at the stairs on the second floor calling: "We have been ordered to search for criminals, and we hope that the people in the guest rooms will come out and cooperate. If they don't respond, don't blame us for forcing their way in!"

Then there was a rustling sound, accompanied by the sound of doors opening and voices.

Shu He cursed in his heart: What kind of luck! It happened at this time!

Stay steady, stay calm.

Shu He breathed a long sigh of relief slowly, raised his Qi again and focused all his attention on the needle, carefully controlling the force to avoid the Qi rebounding.

After the people who searched outside the house counted the number of people, they looked at the few remaining closed doors and warned: "For the remaining guest rooms where no one has come out, we will treat them as if there is no one inside. If we find that there are still people inside, we will immediately

And be treated like criminals!”

Shu He turned his head and quickly glanced at the door. He was anxious, but he didn't dare to distract his attention at all, and he didn't dare to remind him easily, for fear that the breath he was holding would be released and the matter would be ruined.

People outside have begun to check the rooms where no one comes out.

Damn it! If I know who caused trouble and went to the inn where they are staying, I will definitely teach him how to be brave and take responsibility!

The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door of this room. The armored soldiers outside knocked on the door, but there was no response. The leader was wearing a flying fish uniform. He raised his chin to signal to his subordinates to open the door.

The door was pushed open from the outside. The soldier saw a woman standing beside the bed, raising her hands and not knowing what she was doing. There was also an unconscious person on the bed with a horrified expression. He drew his sword and wanted to rush in.

When Shu He heard the noise, he didn't even turn his head. He raised his left hand to make a pause gesture to the officers and soldiers outside.

The man in Feiyu uniform saw the situation in the room and signaled to his subordinates to calm down. He walked in and sat at the table staring at people. Then he turned towards the door and said, "You guys go search the other rooms first.

, I’ll keep an eye on it here, and after the search, I’ll go outside and wait.”

"Yes!" The soldier sheathed his sword, turned around and led the others away.

Shu He breathed a sigh of relief. It was a critical moment just now. If the officers and soldiers really came to interrupt her, not only Song Jibai but also herself would be injured.

As for the sight behind him that could not be ignored, Shu He was a little grateful. He did not expect that there were reasonable people in the imperial court.

The true energy in Song Jibai's body was suppressed, and Shu He completely relaxed now. She retracted her hand, and the needles in her body spontaneously pulled out with her movements, and returned to the bag one by one.

Shu He looked at the man's rosy face and felt a little relieved. She took the quilt that had been moved elsewhere and covered it with Song Jibai. Then she looked at the man sitting at the table.

I was a little surprised when I saw him. The current catcher looked very attractive. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high-spirited temperament. The dark flying fish suit made him look like a sharp sword that had not yet been sheathed.

Shu He regained his composure and hid the expression in his eyes, smiled and nodded in thanks.

"Thank you for your accommodation, otherwise my brother and I would have suffered a lot."

The man raised his sword eyebrows slightly and said in a calm tone: "It's a small matter! Is the girl a doctor?"

Shu He thought for a moment and said frankly: "It doesn't count."

This answer arouses curiosity, yes means it, no means no, what does it not mean?

But the man didn't ask any more questions. He was afraid of the unnecessary dust on his sleeves and stood up: "Recently there was a thief in the city. He was a very good thief. Yesterday he stole property from many wealthy merchants. The girl is probably not a local, so you need to be careful when traveling.

, if you have any news about the snitch, you can go to the government to find me. If you can capture the snitch, the government will be very grateful."

Shu He looked clear and nodded lightly: "I understand, thank you for reminding me! If I get any news related to the snitch, I will definitely go to the government to find you, sir."

As she said this, she was thinking in her heart: The little thief had better hide more carefully. If she discovers him, he will definitely be caught and beaten, and then he will be rewarded by the government.

"That's very good. I'll take my leave first." The man nodded with satisfaction and left without staying any longer.

After the people left, Shu He realized what he was doing. He was a little annoyed because he hadn't asked his name yet!

That's it, it's just a chance meeting, and there should be no social interaction in the future.

Downstairs of the inn, officers and soldiers who had found nothing were lined up at the door, regardless of whether they would hinder other people's business. When the man in Feiyu uniform came down, the leading subordinate stepped forward: "Sir, this inn has been searched.

No abnormalities were found.”

The man nodded and turned to look at the innkeeper who was huddled behind the counter with a scared look on his face. He took out a silver coin from his arms and threw it over: "These subordinates of mine did not act lightly or harshly. I am very sorry for the losses caused to the boss.

This is compensation."

After saying that, the man paused and glanced at several damaged tables and chairs in the lobby: "The money for these tables and chairs should be enough, right?"

The innkeeper nodded quickly, with a smile on his wrinkled face: "That's enough, sir!"
