There was only a soft sound of "duh", and the cold light almost grazed Wei Changying's curtain hat and went straight into a pavilion pillar behind her!
This change was so sudden that Master Ying, the captain of the guard in the pavilion, was stunned for several breaths before he woke up. His face was extremely gloomy! How dare someone dare to openly attack the daughter of the Wei family? ! Even if Wei Changying was not hurt, it was still a provocation to the Wei family! Not only the guards in the pavilion, but also the guards hidden in the forest all around also came out with their swords drawn!
Wei Changying was shocked and angry. He didn't care about exposing his face. He raised his hand and lifted the veil to his hat. Just when he was about to point at the naked man and curse, she suddenly felt something hit her hat. Subconsciously I turned around and looked...
At this sight, Wei Changying's cheeks that were originally blushing from anger suddenly turned pale - only to see that on the bamboo pillar that was cut from the mountain just two days ago and became more and more green after the rain, there was a cold light all around. A full two-thirds of the dagger he shot sank into the bamboo, and the force was so strong that it even cracked a gap in the bamboo pillar.
However, this did not scare Wei Changying. What made her gasp was that the reason why one-third of the dagger was exposed outside the bamboo was because this section of the dagger body had an emerald-green, several-stripe thread inserted through it. A snake with a body that looks exactly like bamboo!
This snake is not too thick, but is similar to a fishing rod. However, it has a thin neck, red pupils, and a triangular head. It was pierced by a dagger and nailed to the bamboo, but it was still struggling fiercely. Just now, Wei Changying felt something hit his curtain. Hat, it was when it was struggling that it slapped the snake's tail on the top of the hat. The burnt red snake tail made everyone in the bamboo pavilion feel a rush of cold air pouring into their backs!
Bamboo leaves are green.
Although extremely common, it is highly toxic.
Looking at the position where the dagger is nailed into the bamboo pillar, it is only one inch higher than the curtain hat of Wei Changying when he sat down!
Although Wei Changying was wearing a curtain hat, the color of the snake was so similar to bamboo that it would be difficult to detect it even if it swam into Wei Changying's clothes. By that time...
Feng Shi, Lvfang and others turned pale, and they all felt a little weak in their feet. They all said with trembling voices: "This... how come there are snakes here?"
Now is not the season of autumn and winter. Summer has passed and the beginning of autumn has passed. Snakes and insects are not hidden. It is not surprising that there are green bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest. So the Wei family had already spread a circle of realgar near the hut. It is said that... snakes and insects would not dare to come near this place!
After all, Wei Changying was very courageous. Although she was frightened when she turned around and saw a poisonous snake struggling very close to her, with its scales clearly visible, she calmed down after being frightened and said happily: "Yesterday It rained all night.”
A night of rain completely washed away the realgar and penetrated deep into the soil, completely losing its effect of driving away snakes and insects. I got up so early today... It was also bad luck. In just one night, Bamboo Leaf Green jumped into the pavilion, and even climbed on the bamboo pillar behind me!
If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the man in naked clothes, he would have seen this snake from a few feet away. Today... Wei Changying felt a chill in his heart. He waved his sleeves to brush down his veil, calmed down and said, "Feng Shi, go and talk to Wei Qing." Let me personally thank that young master for saving his life."
When the man in naked clothes took action, he warned loudly, which surprised his companions and Wei Qing who were walking in front. The bamboo pavilion was green, and the bamboo leaves were also green. They were far away, and their eyesight was not as good as that of the man in naked clothes. In addition, the man in naked clothes took action. Later, the people in the bamboo pavilion were frightened, and they moved their clothes and rolled up their clothes, blocking their view for a while. They didn't know what happened - but there was a female family member in the pavilion, and she was also the apple of the Wei family's eye.
Wei Qing naturally refused to continue leading them down the mountain, but stopped them both where they were, waiting for the pavilion to explain everything before they could be released.
Feng went to explain the reason, and Wei Qing was also shocked. After all, he was the one leading people up the mountain today, and Wei Changying was blocked from returning to the house, so he had to sit in the bamboo pavilion behind the house. If he was bitten by the bamboo leaf green, even if there was no fragrance, Xiao Yuyun, Wei Changying has suffered so much, and Wei Qing is more or less responsible... With the love and care that Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song have for Wei Changying, even if Wei Qing is a talent recognized by Wei Huan, this Even the two noble women could not spare him!
He was frightened for a moment, and he solemnly raised his hands to the naked man and said: "Young Master Deng has a sharp eye, and I can't wait for you! This time, our young lady was in danger, and it was all saved by you. We hope that you will stay and accommodate everyone in our family." Congratulations, Miss, I also want to express my gratitude in person!”
The man in naked clothes hurriedly returned the greeting: "Young Master Wei, you are serious. In fact, Zong Qi has a sister who has been clamoring to build a bamboo pavilion in the garden. However, she has never found a suitable style, so she just paid more attention to the pavilion." It was also Miss Wei who had her own destiny. The green tail of the bamboo leaf was exposed, and it was very obvious against the green bamboo. Zong Qi just discovered it by chance, but Miss Wei and the servants did not raise their heads. How could Zong Qi dare to take credit? What's more, thanks to your generous help last night, I had a place to stay on a rainy night, so I wouldn't have to spend the night in the rain and delay my trip!" He said this to explain why he could still find the green bamboo leaves when his back was turned to the bamboo pavilion. In fact, Wei Qing and Gu Yiran didn't quite believe this... This time it could be said that they were looking at the pavilion. On the mountain road before, Deng Zongqi had looked back at Wei Changying again and again.
It's just that he only looked at it twice more than Gu Yiran. Although it was a bit frivolous, it wasn't enough to point out. Now that he has saved Wei Changying once again, Wei Qing will certainly not undermine him. He said sincerely: "This is the lady's wish. I hope Mr. Deng will not reject it."
"Young Master Wei also knows that we have to leave as soon as possible because our lives are on the line..." Originally Wei Qing thought that since Deng Zongqi cared so much about Wei Changying, he would be happy to accept Wei Changying coming to express his gratitude in person, but he didn't want Deng Zongqi to hear this. He showed a hint of unnaturalness and declined hastily. Even in order to prove what he said, he took two steps towards the mountain path while speaking.
At this time, Wei Changying also came closer, and just in time to hear these words, she saluted Deng Zongqi solemnly, and said sternly: "Thank you so much for your generosity, young master, for saving me in a critical situation! You are a great kindness, and I will never forget it." !”
Now that Wei Changying had arrived, Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi could not leave anymore, so they had to stand still and return the courtesy. Deng Zongqi was humble again. The guards who had seen the accident behind the house had already rushed into the hut to report to Wei Changfeng. Wei Changfeng was shocked when he heard that his sister was almost bitten by Bamboo Leaf Green. He didn't even have time to change his clogs, so he ran out in silk shoes, exclaiming along the way: "Sister, eldest sister, are you okay?"
After seeing Wei Changying standing there safe and sound and thanking Deng Zongqi, Wei Changfeng's face became solemn, he resumed his demeanor as a member of a famous family, walked over unhurriedly, and nodded reservedly: "Changfeng I'm young and I've behaved inappropriately. I hope you can forgive me."
Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi secretly laughed. After all, Wei Changfeng was only fifteen years old. When he received them in the hut, he had acted like he was the first son of the Wei family. Although his words and demeanor were elegant, he was not rude or obviously looked down upon them. , but the details revealed that he was superior to the Gu family in the imperial capital and the Deng family in Rongcheng.
Even when they said goodbye, Wei Changfeng only offered to see them off in person in a symbolic way. As soon as Gu Yiran declined, he just let Wei Qing do it for him.
Although with the background of the six clans in the sea, it is common for the clan members to despise their family members, and Gu Yiran and his party also somewhat offended the Wei family last night, but Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi are both older than Wei Changfeng, but they were He dismissed it casually, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. Now that they saw that Mr. Wei Wu was worried about his sister, and exposed his recklessness and recklessness at the age of half a year, they were both dumbfounded. Instead, they eliminated a trace of ill feeling towards Wei Changfeng and thought about how the Wei family could train him. , Wei Changfeng is so smart, he is only fifteen years old after all... He is so concerned about his sister's safety, unlike some high-ranking disciples who attach great importance to style. Their first priority at all times is to pay attention to whether their style is defective. Want to come here? Wei Changfeng is not too bad either.
Naturally, these thoughts should not be made known to the Wei siblings. They both said it was okay in a pleasant manner and praised their brother and sister for their harmony, which shows the tradition of the Wei family.
After such polite exchanges, Deng Zongqi rescued Wei Changying. Of course, Wei Changfeng would no longer look down upon them as just children of aristocratic families. His attitude became extremely warm, and he even invited them to Ruiyu Hall to formally express his gratitude. But Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi refused. They both had their lives at stake. They had been hampered by the rain last night and they had to set off immediately. Wei Changfeng tried his best to persuade him to stay, but he still couldn't, so he had to ask someone to take the dagger back from the bamboo pavilion, wipe it and return it to Deng Zongqi - this Xiaozhu Mountain was a temporary residence, and there was really nothing suitable as a thank you gift, so he could only invite them. Kong must go to Ruiyu Hall and insist on sending them down the mountain in person.
Wei Changying also thanked her brother again and again. She was a female family member. Even if she was grateful, she couldn't see off a stranger, so she just said a few words of congratulations and watched him go. Unexpectedly, Wei Changfeng and Deng Zongqi took a few steps to give way to each other. Suddenly, they heard Lu Chi scream: "Miss, there are snakes!"
Everyone was shocked, but looking where Lu Chi was pointing... in the sparse grass more than ten steps away, a green bamboo snake similar to the one that Deng Zongqi had nailed to death in the bamboo pavilion was slowly shuttled in the direction. But it's Zhuting. I don't know if they are a pair.
This bamboo leaf green did not threaten Wei Changying, and with Wei Changfeng and the guards of the Wei family present, Deng Zongqi would naturally not take action rashly at this moment. When Wei Changfeng saw this, he frowned. Because Lu Qi was Wei Changying's ambassador, and there was an outsider here, he couldn't scold Lu Qi for making a fuss, so he just nodded to a guard not far away.
The guard understood, and put his hand on the knife on his waist. Before he could pull it out, he saw Wei Changying turn around and look at the green bamboo leaf, snorted coldly, and suddenly raised his hand and brushed it from the green temple... then he saw it. A ray of green light passed by, forcing aside the sloping grass tips after the rain, and with a muffled sound, the green bamboo leaves were nailed into the mud!
Seeing the emerald green snake body struggling on the ground, and a burnt red snake tail twitching in pain, the instigator, Wei Changying, had red sleeves fluttering, calm and calm, saying "I finally found a chance to get some revenge, now I feel really good." "Looking like this, everyone was a little silent...
Wei Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled reluctantly and said: "When I was young, my sister learned some things from the older guards in the mansion... Well, I learned some things... this..."
Sister, I know you are very skilled, at least you have no problem beating my younger brother, but now there are outsiders here, even if they are not the Shen family, they are all descendants of the rich family! Can't you restrain yourself and be a well-behaved lady? ?
Wei Changfeng roared in his heart, but he had to rack his brains to explain and cover up Wei Changying's neat hairpin for killing snakes. However, Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi were obviously shocked by Wei Changying's beautiful flying hairpin for killing snakes. He was a little distracted and replied blankly: "The Fengzhou Wei family is indeed well-deserved. This... the lady in the house is really... both civil and military... uh, both civil and military!"
"You two are really honored." Wei Changfeng smiled strongly. At this time, he had no intention of keeping guests and just wanted to send them away quickly. "It's raining and the road is slippery. Please be careful where you step."
Watching Wei Changfeng seeing the guests off, Wei Chang Yingcai said bitterly: "Damn snake! How dare you run on top of my head! You are really asking for your own death!" He flicked the edge of his curtain hat in disgust, "Go back to the house. Hurry up and throw this hat away!" Of course Wei Changying will not want the curtain hat that was swept away by Zhu Yeqing.
The maids who gathered around her knew that Wei Changying was very hardworking in studying martial arts. The two ladies-in-law, Feng, had also heard about Wei Changying's preferences. They were not surprised that she could kill snakes by flicking her hairpin, but they were a little surprised. And admire Wei Changying's skill. Lu Chi touched his temples and muttered in annoyance: "That hairpin was given to me by the eldest lady during the Chinese New Year last year. It is my best one...Why don't the eldest lady pick this gold-plated hairpin and use it..."
"You are stingy." Midoriya was more courageous than her. Now that he was observing the surroundings and seeing no harm, he teased her, "I will ask the guards to come and clean it up. Isn't it the same as pulling it out and washing it clean?"
"How dare I put it through a snake and put it into a plug?" Lu Chi stuck out his tongue and looked at Wei Changying expectantly. According to Wei Changying's generosity to the people around him, since he dropped a hairpin, he I would add a better one, but this time Wei Changying's face darkened, he glared at her fiercely, and shouted: "The bamboo leaf green just now was far away from us, and it didn't swim this way at all. Since you If you see it, you should quietly warn it and wait for the outsider to leave before calling the guards to remove it. What are you yelling about? It doesn't make people think that the maids of the Wei family are as timid as you!"
He said, "This time, even if you wash the hairpin, you are not allowed to take it. If you are embarrassed like this next time, let's see how I punish you!"
Lu Qi's face turned red and white, and then she realized that she had screamed in front of outsiders in the non-dangerous situation just now, which made Wei Changfeng and Wei Changying very embarrassed... She lowered her head and said softly : "My maid knows her mistake, and she won't dare to do it again next time."
Now she just wants to be exempted from punishment, but she doesn't dare to think about Wei Changying rewarding her with another good hairpin. (To be continued)
