【186】Bone powder
"Master, do you want to send someone over from Madam's side?"
They all knew very well that even if their master had to risk his own life, he would still protect his wife.
"Don't act rashly for now. The next door is still empty. It is the most important place in this inn. With Zhen Muyao here, it is unlikely that they will choose other places. We will wait until they settle down first."
Wei Tingyu knew very well that no matter where the people in this inn came from, if they just wanted to hide for a while, it would be okay, but he was afraid that they would need hostages or use others to cover them. Then, Xuan'er and his party
There is no doubt that this is the best choice. After all, he seems to be a relatively well-established person, not threatening and easy to control.
If there were no Xiaocao and the others, Wei Tingyu would find a way to delay it, and it wouldn't be a problem to take the blame for these people. But now the priority is "I will not move if the enemy cannot move", and it is best to sneak past safely.
otherwise……
In fact, the place where Xiaocao and the others chose to stay did not exceed Wei Tingyu's expectations. The people from the inn were leading the way, and Zhen Muyao held Xiaocao's arm, talking and laughing, without noticing the slightest danger.
The sky is not completely dark at the moment, so it doesn't matter if you don't need to hold a lantern. However, perhaps considering that they are delicate women, they may sprain their feet if they don't have enough light to walk, so there is more than one lantern. Xiaocao is speechless.
For a moment, but everyone is so "caring", so it would be pretentious for you to refuse or anything like that.
Although it is the so-called best small courtyard, the area is quite limited, let alone the layout. Xiaocao thinks it doesn't matter, but Zhen Muchao dislikes it so much. Apart from anything else, the things on this bed are out and out.
I changed it again. Of course, Xiaocao happily accepted this.
After simply eating something, it was already completely dark. However, it was already fourteenth, so the moonlight was very good. The moonlight shone in the courtyard, and basically everything within sight could be seen.
See clearly.
It wasn't too late, and it was a rare time to enjoy the moon together. Zhen Muyao took Xiaocao, added a simple book, set up tables and chairs in the yard, made some wine, and tidied up a bit.
Wine and vegetables, a bunch of flowers fell in the month before.
Xiaocao never drinks alcohol. She often uses silver-needle scalpels and other things. Although drinking occasionally will not have much impact, Xiaocao has always been strict with herself in this regard and will never make exceptions. After all,
If you make an exception, there may be two or three. If you make an exception on one thing, you may easily break the bottom line on other things.
Although Zhen Muyao has lived a more unrestrained life than others since she was a child, she still has a lot of rules and regulations around her. When she is not restrained at all, she is only a minority. Now she is more indulgent and no one will restrain her.
no.
There was laughter and laughter here, but on the other side of the wall, Wei Tingyu was sitting close to the wall, with a table set up next to him. The situation was somewhat similar to that next door, but in comparison, he was alone, facing the moon.
Others are behind him, either exposed in the moonlight or hidden in the shadows. It's not that they can't spend time with their master, but they know very well that no matter how many of them there are, the master's heart will still be empty.
No matter how many people there are, they may not be as good as the lady's voice that occasionally comes from next door.
This is not the first time I have experienced this situation, but every time I see it, I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart.
Time passed little by little, and there was no sound from the next door. Wei Tingyu seemed to have finally come to his senses. He was not sure if it would be peaceful tonight. Wei Tingyu asked people to pay attention to the next door. Even if he was exposed, he could not put Xiaocao in danger.
among.
It was fine before, but when he was about to go back to the house, he couldn't help coughing again. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he still let out a few vents. What Wei Tingyu didn't know was that at this moment, Xiaocao was elsewhere.
One side was close to the courtyard wall. It was not that she found something and stood there silently on purpose, but the gate of this small courtyard was opened close to the courtyard walls of the two small courtyards. To go out, the path was
Built along the courtyard wall.
There were quite a few people in this inn when they were away from home. If it was just Xiaocao herself, she wouldn't be so defensive. But with Zhen Muyao and Jian Shu here, they came out with her. Xiaocao thought that he needed to protect their safety.
Responsible. In addition, there are many mosquitoes in such a day. Even if they carry sachets, the mosquitoes will not get close to them. However, if there are too many mosquitoes, the buzzing will be annoying. It can prevent people and repel insects. Take the grass with you.
Drugs are absolutely indispensable.
However, I didn't expect such a "surprise". This person's speaking voice is very different, but the difference in coughing is not that big. It is not the same after all. What's more, people who pay special attention will always be extra sensitive.
.
Xiaocao looked up at the courtyard wall, with some indescribable emotions in her eyes. Her original guess seemed to be getting closer to the truth.
Xiaocao looked back, as if she hadn't noticed anything, and continued to sprinkle some kind of medicinal powder along the bend.
She had previously told those who were with her not to leave the courtyard or get close to the wall at night. However, it didn't matter even if one of them was infected. This thing would not kill people, and Xiaocao also gave it to them in advance.
Ate something.
However, what Xiaocao also didn't know was that she discovered the existence of Wei Tingyu, and it wasn't like she knew nothing there, because of the shadows cast by the planted trees and the moonlight, and there was a dark section on the wall that was completely unclear.
, if you want to know what’s going on here, that’s the best place. What a coincidence, when Xiaocao looked ahead, someone happened to turn up and saw their wife standing quietly, and she almost felt her heart break.
I'm sick, but fortunately, he is a person who does important things and has a very good mental quality, so he didn't make any noticeable changes.
After Xiaocao returned to the house, he climbed down from the wall, went to see Wei Tingyu, and reported the matter.
When it comes to facing Xiaocao, Wei Tingyu is really more cowardly than a coward. Of course, he still doesn't show it on the face, calm and calm. He seems to be just happy that his wife has a strong sense of crisis and knows how to take safety precautions.
.
The people around him followed him for a long time or a short time. However, it was still very difficult to really understand his thoughts, so I didn't know what he was thinking.
Naturally, Wei Tingyu couldn't be as calm in his heart as he was on the surface. However, since the situation here was unclear, he could have used other excuses. It was just a coincidence here. - So, Wei Shiziye was actually considering the possibility of a head-on collision with Xiaocao.
It was possible, not because he wanted to be frank and lenient, but because he still wanted to be deceived by "sweet words", so even if he was punished by Xiaocao, he really asked for it, and he couldn't blame others.
In the dead of night, there was a short sound outside, and Xiaocao, who was sleeping, immediately opened his eyes.
It can only be said that because I have been in the mountains for many years and spent a lot of time overnight in the mountains, Xiaocao is always very alert in an environment that I think is unsafe, and I can wake up quickly at the slightest movement.
.
Even if she heard no other sounds, Xiaocao did not continue to sleep. She got up and quickly put on her clothes when going out. Although she was not wearing the coarse linen clothes before, she was quite neat and simple. She also wrapped her hair directly.
After fixing it, I took some things and put them on my body within easy reach. It was quiet except for a slight creaking sound when the door was opened.
The number of people on the wall increased from one to two at the beginning. They discovered Xiaocao immediately and secretly praised their wife in their hearts. Her vigilance was no worse than theirs. Therefore, I thought,
It’s not particularly unbelievable that the master will be caught by the madam, and then the master will be found out bit by bit. Yes, this time, everyone who followed the master and knew the master’s purpose has already prepared that the master may capsize.
To be honest, I was secretly thinking about watching a show.
If it were them, from the perspective of the madam, they wouldn't be able to help but feel itchy when encountering the master like this.
However, the medicine in Madam's hand is really powerful. It seems to be nothing, but the people who climbed over the wall are very agile and flexible. They are nervous and thinking about whether to kill the person immediately.
When he died, he just let out a scream, and the man climbed over the wall and ran away in embarrassment, as if he had encountered something very terrifying.
So much so that they almost jumped off the wall, and they were still frightened. They looked at the place where the lady had sprinkled things. At first, they could still see some powder, but now there was nothing. The invisible things were the most terrifying.
They couldn't help but step back.
Xiaocao checked around in the moonlight. Although she didn't find anyone, it didn't mean that she didn't find anything unusual. There was a place where someone had obviously come in. Xiaocao could faintly smell a smell. That was
The smell of rotten flesh.
Therefore, Xiaocao was 100% sure that not only did someone come in, but he was also injured. No matter what the reason was, Xiaocao could only say that he was very unlucky.
The medicine used by Xiaocao can be regarded as the most sinister medicine in her hand. It is a powder at first when poured out, but it will slowly evaporate in the air and form a circle of invisible gas. The initial effect of this thing is somewhat similar to "chemistry".
"Bone powder", the effect is quite overbearing. If there is no injury, once it touches the skin, there will be a burning sensation immediately, causing the skin to become red, cracked, and bleed. If there are obvious injuries, I'm sorry,
Once it gets on it, human flesh and blood will be corrupted immediately. If you don't move fast enough, if you get a little more on it, the next thing will be the bones.
If there is no wind, the effect can last for four or five hours. If the wind is obvious, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.
After frequenting the mountains and forests for a long time, weather forecasting can be regarded as a basic skill.
And the one Xiaocao used tonight had anesthetic added in it.
Zhen Muyao is curious about Xiaocao's medicine. Most of Xiaocao's medicine has been shown to her, but it can be said that no one knows about this medicine since it was made, and it is not easy to use it.
However, before going to bed, she accidentally chose this medicine. It was not that she noticed anything, but more like a sudden premonition. The weather was suitable for it tonight, so she took it.
Xiaocao stood silently for a moment, then looked up at the wall. Someone who could do something like climbing over a wall in the middle of the night was definitely not a good person. Not to mention hurting someone, even if he died, Xiaocao
Cao Cao will not feel guilty. There are people she cares about in this yard. If something happens, she will really feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Since you have malicious intentions, you will naturally have to pay the price for your actions.
Xiaocao retracted his gaze, squatted down expressionlessly, and added a little more to patch up the thinner "gap".
Because of the anesthetic, although the weight is very light, it can easily penetrate into the body due to the injury. Therefore, the person may have been infected and fell somewhere outside. However, Xiaocao has no intention of checking.
, who knows what the situation is outside, even if she has something for self-defense, it is limited.
Looking back at the next door, Xiaocao's eyes were filled with worry. If someone came in the middle of the night, if they had evil intentions because they saw that they were women and they didn't have many people with them, Xiaocao thought it would be wrong.
That's okay, but if the target is him, then the danger of this station is not the least bit high. People who can hide behind Kaipingwei are doing dangerous things. If someone knows...
At this moment, some of Xiaocao's ideas were in sync with Wei Tingyu's "excuses". Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Some of the ideas that were almost certain were not so sure at this moment.
However, one thing is certain, Xiaocao does not want to see anything happen to Crown Prince Wei, and even has an urge to try his best to save him regardless of whether it is true or not. Xiaocao lowered his eyes and already made a decision in his heart.
If he didn't keep the appointment that time, she went directly to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Therefore, what Wei Shizi thought to himself was either that he threw himself into a trap, or that Xiaocao could not wait for him to give up. In Xiaocao's case, there was no such thing at all. Xiaocao was determined and could not give up until the end.
immortal.
Xiaocao returned to the house, and at least no one in the yard was disturbed.
The two people on the wall exchanged glances, and one of them climbed down from the other side to see their master.
Wei Tingyu hasn't been sleeping well recently, especially these two nights. He has long been used to it if he squints during the day and doesn't sleep well at night. Although the longer he stays up, the more his mind is consumed.
But I couldn't sleep, and I had no choice but to form a vicious cycle.
Although there were no lights on in the room, Wei Tingyu was still not on the bed. He was just sitting up and falling asleep. As soon as there was a knock on the door, he opened it and said, "Come in."
