Shen Wudao's situation was indeed not very good. Lin Rufei lived in the Shen's house for three days before finally seeing him. During this period, Lin Rufei and the head of the Shen family also met, and from the tired face of the head of the family, it could be seen that things were not going well. The owner did not say anything to Lin Rufei, but simply described the situation that day. It turned out that it was Shen Wudao who was hanging around the beach with nothing to do when he met a strange swordsman. When the swordsman saw Shen Wudao, he was actually Without saying a word, he moved his hand. It stands to reason that Shen Wude, a swordsman of the seventh realm, could never be taken down by someone with a few moves, but Shen Wude was defeated easily. When he found Shen Wudao, he had already been stabbed by a sword, and he was almost unable to save him.
Although the head of the Shen family had a calm expression when he said this, Lin Rufei could still feel the thrill of it.
"Young Master Lin came at an untimely time." The Shen family's patriarch sighed with a wry smile, "Otherwise, he would have called Wu Rui to receive him in person."
Lin Rufei said, "It doesn't matter, it's my sister who heard that something happened to Young Master Shen and was a little worried, so she asked me to rush over to work overtime."
The Shen family head smiled: "It's been a long time since I saw Wei Rui, is she okay?"
"Very good, just before I left, my elder brother was dragged into the ancestral hall and beaten." Lin Rufei betrayed her sister without hesitation.
Hearing this, Patriarch Shen laughed loudly, saying that Lin Rufei should stay at ease for a few days, and then invite him to meet with Shen Wushu, but it is best not to walk around, after all, the murderer who hurt people has not yet turn up. Lin Rufei nodded in approval.
The two chatted for a while, before the Shen family was called over by other matters. It could be seen that he was indeed very busy, but in view of the relationship between the Shen Lin family, he still took the time to see Lin Rufei alone.
Although Lin Rufei was worried about Shen Wudao, there might not be much to do, so she simply rested for two days. He spent most of the two days at the seaside. As someone who has never seen the sea before, I have to say that this place is too new.
In Lin Rufei's eyes, the reefs, small fish, shells, and even the unremarkable seaweed on the beach were endowed with magical powers. He likes to step on the soft sand with bare feet, watching a small crab shrinking in a conch shell, and when he presses his finger lightly, it shrinks back into its shell in horror. On the coast, you can often see beautiful small fish, most of which are colorful, very different from the inland fish. Gu Xuandu sat lazily on the reef next to him, and seriously introduced these fish to Lin Rufei, but the content of the introduction was very unromantic. Most of the fish tasted good, but that fish was not edible.
Lin Rufei didn't know what to say either. She looked at Gu Xuandu and said that Senior has eaten all these fish
"Almost." Gu Xuandu said, "I was born at the seaside. At the seaside, most of them are fish. I almost vomited."
Lin Rufei said, "Senior was born in Yaoguang?"
"No." Gu Xuandu said, "I was born in Xuandu."
Lin Rufei was surprised. The Xuandu Continent is right next to Yaoguang. There is a wide ocean between the two continents, and few people can travel between the two places. Because not only are the waves turbulent, but there are also countless ferocious monsters on the seabed. Gu Xuandu is the most prestigious Heavenly Monarch in Yaoguang Continent, but he was not born in Yaoguang, but from Xuandu. Lin Rufei was naturally a little surprised by this. Before he could ask, Gu Xuandu continued: "At that time, I was still young and was adopted by an old man. Yaoguang came from Xuandu, and I never went back."
Lin Rufei said: "That old man brought the young senior from Yaoguang to Xuandu?" He said this, but he thought about how powerful that man must be. Not only did he pass through this vast sea, He even brought a little doll that was powerless.
Gu Xuandu said: "He is indeed powerful." He said lightly, "At least he is much more powerful than me."
A person more powerful than Tianjun? Does it really exist? In Lin Rufei's impression, Tianjun was already an insurmountable powerhouse. He said, "Where is he now?"
"Dead." Gu Xuan spit out two words.
Lin Rufei was dumbfounded.
Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei with a faint smile on his face, but what he said was heart-warming words: "He is too kind, and he always ignores the suffering of others, you know, such a person is alive and well. When you are tired, when you die, it is especially miserable."
Lin Rufei said softly, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Gu Xuandu waved his hand, but there was no sadness on his face, and said, "But is it okay now?"
Lin Rufei was taken aback: "Are you okay?"
Gu Xuandu said warmly: "Fortunately, there are fish to eat."
Lin Rufei showed an unsure look.
However, the last lunch was the fish that Gu Xuan had caught from the sea. He already knew all about the delicious fish. For him, catching fish was not a difficult task. After picking up the fish, he also touched some beautiful shells and gave them to Lin Rufei with a smile. The shells in the deep sea are naturally incomparable to the seaside, Lin Rufei took it in surprise, carefully hid it in her arms, and put it on the table in the room for viewing. Seeing this, Fu Hua smiled and asked the young master where he found such a beautiful shell.
Lin Rufei said, "Someone sent it."
"Give it?" Yu Rui's eyes lit up and blinked, "Young master, you can't pick up the shells by the sea."
Lin Rufei said, "How do you say it?"
Yurui said: "I heard that there is a rule here, saying that the fishing village conditions were not good in the past. If the person you like can't come up with a betrothal gift, you will go to the deep sea to find the most beautiful shell and give it to your lover as a betrothal gift. If you accept it, the two of you will be considered a gift..."
Lin Rufei stared, "But I'm a man."
Yurui said with a smile: "Men and women are the same. Didn't the son see the fishing boats in the daytime, and there are many girls picking shells? Seeing that the shells in the hands of the son are so unique, I think that person has spent a lot of time choosing. Woolen cloth."
When Yu Rui said this, Gu Xuan also listened. He propped his chin up and didn't say a word, just stared at Lin Rufei with such interest. It stands to reason that Lin Rufei should have gotten used to it a long time ago, but Gu Xuandu's eyes made her ears turn red. He gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, and asked Fu Hua what to eat at night.
Fu Hua said, "Eat the fish, didn't the son bring back some fish?" She smiled, "The girl who gave the son's shells gave it to the son together? These fish are very strange, I have never seen them before. Well, come to think of it, the shells are so beautiful, and the fish must taste good."
Lin Rufei couldn't take it anymore, so she pushed the two maids out of the house and drove them to cook.
Facts have proved that Fu Hua and Yurui are right. Although the fish caught by Gu Xuandu have strange shapes, they all taste quite good. Because it is very fresh, just steaming it is delicious enough. Lin Rufei tasted a piece and was full of praise.
The three master and servant were eating fish, and Chi Yu, who escaped halfway yesterday, appeared at the window again with his cub in his mouth.
Throwing the cub onto the table, and circling around the fish in front of her, Lin Rufei originally wanted to feed Chi Yu something to eat, but Chi Yu refused.
"I don't want to eat it." Chi Yu narrowed his eyes and said in disgust, "This Shen family stinks and has no appetite."
Lin Rufei said, "It smells bad?"
"Yeah." Chi Yu said, "I smelled the stench of corpses before I came in." He clicked his tongue and pushed his screaming son, "If it wasn't for this little thing, I wouldn't come in."
Lin Rufei sniffed hard with her nose, but she didn't smell what Chi Yu said.
Chi Yu said disdainfully, "Stop sniffing, you are human."
Lin Rufei spread her hands: "Then do you want to feed your son first?"
Chi Yu's tail flicked, indicating that it was okay.
Lin Rufei took the cat cub into her arms, rubbed its little head, and then asked Fu Hua to bring the extra fish and feed it to the cat cub. The cat was full and just showed his appetite when he was jumped to the window by Chi Yu. He turned his head to Lin Rufei and said, "You better leave here early, it's disgusting." After saying that, he turned around and jumped. Gone, looks really bored here.
"Did you smell anything?" Lin Rufei asked the maids.
Fuhua Yurui's face was blank, and she shook her head together.
A few people were talking, but there was a commotion outside, and along with a few people shouting loudly, Lin Rufei vaguely heard that someone seemed to call out: "Go and get a doctor—"
Lin Rufei walked to the window and saw the chaos outside. He guessed that something happened to Shen Wudu, but he had no way of knowing.
"What happened to the Shen family?" Lin Rufei recalled what Gu Xuandu had mentioned yesterday, smelled a familiar breath, and asked in a low voice.
Gu Xuan squinted his eyes and said, "Let's go and see the situation of Young Master Shen first."
Lin Rufei said, "Okay."
Although she wanted to meet Shen Wudao, it was not an easy task. Lin Rufei made a request, and after another day, she was arranged to meet with Shen Wudao.
Before the two met, Lin Rufei was carefully warned by the doctor, saying that he should try not to let Young Master Shen say too much. Although he woke up, his injuries were still not very good. Responded, without showing impatience. But the head of the Shen family was still a little embarrassed, saying that Young Master Lin was not to blame.
Lin Rufei smiled and said, "It's already good to see Young Master Shen, what's so strange about this?"
Patriarch Shen nodded in relief.
As an important heir of the Shen family, Shen Wudu, the place where he was recuperating was heavily guarded, Lin Rufei passed a few guards before finally entering the back room, but as soon as she stepped into the door, Lin Rufei thought something was wrong. Because the room was not only filled with the smell of medicine, but also a faint smell of rotting blood. Although this smell was mixed with the strong smell of medicine, it was still caught by Lin Rufei.
At this time, it has been more than ten days since Shen Wudao was injured, but Shen Wudao's wound is actually corrupted. Thinking about it, Shen Wudao's condition is very bad.
Although she was already mentally prepared before, Lin Rufei's heart thumped slightly.
Turning a corner, Lin Rufei finally saw Shen Wude lying on the bed. It is midsummer now, but the cooling in the house is done very well. There are a lot of ice cubes in the four corners. Shen Wude is lying on the bed, wearing a white underwear. In the abdomen, you can faintly see that the white cloth has dark red bloodstains.
Shen Wuduo's face was pale and his breath was weak. When he saw Lin Rufei coming, he still managed to smile at him, and said warmly, "Young Master Lin has come from a long way to receive him. I'm really sorry."
"Hurry up and stop moving." Lin Rufei said quickly, "Don't touch the wound."
Shen Wudao said: "It's not a big problem."
Lin Rufei thought to herself that it was not a big problem, but it was really not convincing, but she didn't argue with Shen Wudao, she just sat down beside him. As soon as he sat down, the smell of corruption became stronger, as if the wound had not been treated.
Shen Wu Cuo said, "I wonder how your sister is doing recently?"
Lin Rufei said: "She is very good, but she is a little worried about you." He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Shen, can you tell me what the swordsman who injured you that day looked like?"
"Appearance?" Shen Wudu said, "It's a young man, he looks like a teenager, but his swordsmanship is very sharp. If you have to say what's special..."
Lin Rufei said, "What?"
Shen Wude said, "That's because I can't see through his cultivation." He also showed some doubts.
"How is this possible?" Lin Rufei asked incredulously, "Young Master Shen can't see through that person's cultivation?"
"Yes, I didn't even notice that person's breath." Shen Wude said, "From his appearance to the disappearance, I... can't feel his existence."
Lin Rufei frowned: "Could it be that that person has some powerful magic weapon?"
Shen Wude shook his head and said nothing.
It seems that his vitality is indeed seriously damaged, but it is very laborious to say a few words. Although Lin Rufei wants to ask more details, she can't bear to disturb Shen Wuda any more. It happened that the doctor came in to change Shen Wuda's medicine. , Lin Rufei took a step back and stood beside her.
But when the doctor lifted the white cloth wrapped by Shen Wuda, revealing the wound between Shen Wuda's waist and abdomen, Lin Rufei still sucked in a breath of cold air. I saw that Shen Wudao's abdomen had a big hole open, and the surrounding flesh was injured by sharp tools, and the muscles were not healed. Not only that, but also showed corruption. Shen Wuda closed his eyes and whispered. Said: "Is it still not possible?"
The doctor shook his head in embarrassment.
"Forget it." Seeing this scene, Shen Wudao seemed very calm, and said lightly, "This is my life, Shen Wudao."
The doctor said: "You don't need to be too pessimistic, the son, as long as you catch the swordsman and interrogate him what kind of poison he used, you can..."
Shen Wudu smiled, but it was a little self-deprecating: "I, a seven-level swordsman, can't walk under him once, what can the Shen family do to catch him." He exhaled and said, "You... with me Father, don't say it too seriously, lest it make him worry."
The doctor did not dare to answer.
Shen Wudao stopped talking and continued to close his eyes to rest.
The process of changing the medicine was very slow and painful. When the medicine was changed, the only trace of blood left on Shen Wudao's face could not be seen. Lin Rufei knew that the situation was not good, and she was very anxious. She didn't want to disturb Shen Wudao. He planned to leave with the doctor, but was stopped by Shen Wudao.
"Young Master Lin." Shen Wude whispered, "I have something to ask for."
Lin Rufei said, "Young Master Shen, please speak."
Shen Wukuo stretched out his hand, took out something from the bedside cabinet with difficulty, and put it in front of Lin Rufei, Lin Rufei looked closely, but it was a beautiful purse. The purse was embroidered with two ducks with claws and claws. Lin Rufei hesitated, "This duck purse..."
Shen Wudao was weak: "This is a mandarin duck."
Lin Rufei: "..." Sorry, he didn't do it on purpose.
"Your sister embroidered it." Probably aware of Lin Rufei's embarrassed expression, Shen Wude laughed lowly, "She gave it to me, I lied to her and lost it... You... return it for me. her."
Lin Rufei felt that things were not good when she heard it, and was about to persuade, but she saw Shen Wude wave her hand and said calmly: "I know what you want to say, so don't persuade me, if I can get better, I will give it to myself. Your sister, if it's not good, you can do it for me."
Lin Rufei said, "You will definitely get better."
Shen Wude smiled but did not say anything, but there was a bit of sadness in this smile, he stopped talking, and closed his eyes tiredly.
Lin Rufei squeezed her purse, and after coming out of the back room, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until he arrived at a place where no one was around that he quickly asked Gu Xuandu and said, "Senior, who is it that hurt Young Master Shen, and how could he be so badly injured—can you find him—"
Gu Xuandu frowned and said, "But even if he is found, Young Master Shen may not be saved."
"Why??" Lin Rufei said stunned, "Isn't Mr. Shen poisoned? Just find the person who poisoned..."
"That's not ordinary poison." Gu Xuandu said, "It's corpse poison."
Lin Rufei said, "Corpse poison?"
Gu Xuandu said: "That's right, the poison only exists on the corpse." He sighed and said, "I... will try my best to help you find it. As for whether you can find it or not, it depends on the good fortune of Shen Gongzi." He He paused for a moment, touched his chin, and thought, "Or you call Chi Yu, he should be more sensitive to this kind of thing, and the efficiency may be faster than me."
Lin Rufei thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, senior help me find it first, I'll see if I can ask Chi Yu to help."
Chi Yu's little cub needs to be fed twice a day, once at noon, and will definitely come again at night. Gu Xuan is gone, and he thinks he is looking for someone, while Lin Rufei is waiting anxiously at home, okay. Zai Yu came early, saw Lin Rufei spinning around like a headless fly, and said critically, "What are you spinning around?"
Lin Rufei heard his voice and hurriedly said, "Chi Yu! Could you please do me a favor?"
Chi Yu narrowed his eyes: "You are a human, and you want me, a demon, to help you? Did I hear it right?"
Lin Rufei said, "Yes..."
Chi Yu licked his paws lazily, interrupted Lin Rufei lazily, and said, "Tell me what's the matter first, and then I'll consider whether to help you or not."
Lin Rufei recounted the story of Shen Wudao, emphasizing his serious poison.
"Oh, so you're trying to find the source of the odor, right," Chi Yu said.
Lin Rufei nodded.
"Then if I helped you, how would you repay me?" Chi Yu squinted and stared at Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei said, "What do you want?"
Chi Yu said: "Tsk, what I want, I'm afraid you can't give it."
Lin Rufei sighed, and after thinking for a while, she said seriously: "Why don't you help me find that person, and I will agree to your request. As long as you don't do evil and don't hurt other people's lives, I will try my best to help you achieve it."
Chi Yu looked at Lin Rufei for a long time, just when Lin Rufei thought he would not agree, the Ye tapir stretched and said, "Okay."
Then he threw the kitten who was playing beside him into Fu Hua's arms, raised his chin at Lin Rufei, and motioned for him to follow him.
Lin Rufei stepped out of the house.
Probably thinking that Lin Rufei would not be able to keep up with her running too fast, Chi Yu deliberately filled up her pace and took Lin Rufei all the way out of the mirage towards the beach.
At this time, the sun had set, and the originally blue water had turned into a deep black, slapping the beach and reefs hard, causing bursts of water crashing. If the sea in the daytime still has a gentle and inclusive taste, then the sea in the night is like a terrifying abyss, as if to devour everything close to it.
"That smell came from this direction." Chi Yu's sense of smell is really sensitive, and he led Lin Rufei all the way forward without any hesitation, but his expression was a little displeased, as if he felt that the smell was very disgusting , he said, "If you find that person, what do you want to do?"
Lin Rufei said: "Since it was his poison, he should have an antidote. If not, we can only take him back and talk about other things." The dead horse was regarded as a living horse doctor. I'm afraid it won't last long, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious, and he would trouble Chi Yu for help.
"Take it back?" Chi Yu said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to beat him?"
Lin Rufei said, "Always give it a try."
Chi Yu looked at Lin Rufei critically, and said dissatisfiedly, "You humans really don't know how much you are, and that thing can make the young master of the Shen family look like that, even if you find him, you'll be there to deliver food. "
Lin Rufei was noncommittal, and said lightly, "Let's find out."
Chi Yu said, "Trouble."
Although he disliked Lin Rufei's self-control, he did not slow down his pace. Soon, the lights of the mirage behind him were getting farther and farther away from them. Lin Rufei followed Chi Yu to run along the beach for a long time. The surrounding scenery became more and more unfamiliar.
There are no lights and people around, only the waves and the roaring insects remain. The surroundings became darker and darker, Chi Yu's footsteps gradually slowed down, his expression became solemn, his blood-red eyes were in the darkness, like two beautiful night pearls, he suddenly said: "The smell is getting stronger and stronger, then The thing is nearby." He turned his head and glanced at Lin Rufei, "Let me remind you first, this thing is definitely not ordinary, it is so far away, the smell of the Shen family is so strong, if you are injured by him, it may be He died faster than Young Master Shen... Lin Rufei, you have to think about it."
Lin Rufei said, "I've already made up my mind, let's lead the way."
Chi Yu stopped talking, turned around and jumped into a desolate reef. The reef was covered with moss and was very slippery. Lin Rufei had to slow down and walk slowly. But fortunately, Chi Yu didn't go very far, so he suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "It's just ahead, do you see it?"
Lin Rufei looked carefully. Under the moonlight, he saw a man sitting on a reef. The man had his back turned to him, and the black back image was a black ink stain.
