Day by day, Wen Ai spent more and more time in the medicine room every day. He had already researched more than half of the poison prescription, and he was short of the last critical point. Having been here for several days, Wen Ai began to feel restless, thinking about this every night before going to bed.
Misfortunes never come singly, bad things flocked to the door, Wen Ai got up that day, and when he opened the door, there was a big honeycomb hanging under the eaves, it was as big as two human heads, surrounded by many bees. Buzzing around, looking manic.
Wen Ai waved his hand, and quickly closed the door back.
Most of these bees flew down from the mountain behind, and they built such a big nest at the door of his house overnight, relying on the large number of bees to bully people, right
But being bullied is bullying, Wen Ai really didn't dare to go out and do anything to that swarm of bees, they were all irritable wild bees, big and aggressive, and the tail needles on their buttocks were poisonous , If you accidentally get stung, your skin will peel off even if you don’t die.
Wen Ai was standing behind the door at the moment, and from time to time he could still hear the muffled sound of the big bees hitting the door, thump, thump, thud, and it sounded particularly vigorous, so scared that Wen Ai backed away a few steps in fear, not knowing what to do. Dare to stay by the door again.
It was the first time that the door was blocked by bees, and Wen Ai didn't know what to do. The insect repellent powder was placed in the medicine room. Apart from the door, there was only one window in the room, which was next to the door. Judging from the location, it is estimated that it is just facing the beehive, a complete dead end.
At this point in time, the disciple who delivered the breakfast must have already arrived, but there are at least three or four hours before the delivery of lunch. Could it be possible that he just sat and was trapped for so long? How aggrieved is that
Wen Ai picked up the cup on the table and took two sips of overnight tea, walked to the door, and shouted at the door: "Zhuo-Yi-Qing!"
Zhuo Yiqing's room is just across from Wen Ai, and his ears are sharp. After hearing Wen Ai calling him, he quickly responded: "What's wrong?"
Wen Ai told him about being blocked in the house by bees, Zhuo Yiqing calmly said: "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."
Wen Ai scratched the bamboo on the door panel, thinking what can you do? He was chained and couldn't even get out the door.
After a while, Zhuo Yiqing's voice came again: "Find some clothes and wrap yourself tightly. Don't expose any parts except your eyes. Tell me when you are ready, then open the door and walk towards me. Just run this way, and I'll open the door for you."
This method is actually quite good, once Wen Ai goes out, he will definitely be chased by the bees, if he runs to Zhuo Yiqing's room to hide in time, those bees will fly away by themselves after wandering around outside the door for a while. When the time comes, he will sneak out of the house to find someone in the outer valley, and the problem will be solved immediately.
And fortunately, after getting the iron chain, he no longer padlocked Zhuo Yiqing's door, otherwise he would have to stand outside the door with the key to unlock it against the swarm of bees.
"Okay, wait for me to change my shirt first." Wen Ai said to Zhuo Yiqing, went to the closet to find some long gowns, wrapped up the exposed parts, wrapped her hands like rice dumplings, The neck and face are also well protected.
Wen Ai knocked on the door twice, and shouted to Zhuo Yiqing: "I'm coming, pay attention!"
Zhuo Yiqing: "Okay, run faster."
When Wen Ailin pushed the door, he hesitated again: "Don't refuse to open the door for me!"
There was a trace of helplessness in Zhuo Yiqing's voice: "You really think, am I willing to give up on me?"
Wen Ai took a deep breath, raised the cloak over his head, and rushed out as if he was dead.
As expected, the swarm of bees flew towards him like a fly seeing a rotten egg when they saw him, perfectly explaining what the real "swarming up" is.
Wen Ai heard the dense buzzing sound behind him, and was so frightened that he shouted: "Open the door, open the door, open the door!"
Zhuo Yiqing's ears were focused, listening to Wen Ai's footsteps, he opened the door when he was still one step away.
Wen Ai threw back the cloak in his hand, threw his whole body into Zhuo Yiqing's arms, pressed his face against his chest, and hugged his waist tightly with his hands.
Zhuo Yiqing shut the door of the chasing bee swarm in time, lowered her hands, and gently hugged Wen Ai back.
The wave just now ran too fast, and it was terrifying and exciting, Wen Ai is still trembling slightly.
Not only him, Zhuo Yiqing's body was also trembling, Wen Ai felt strange, he raised his head buried in Zhuo Yiqing's arms, and looked at Zhuo Yiqing's face—
People blushed from holding back their laughter.
Wen Ai pressed her head on Zhuo Yiqing's chest: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhuo Yiqing rubbed his chest pretending to be in pain, and pinched his face casually: "Since you are afraid, why don't you stay indoors."
Wen Ai turned his head to avoid his hand: "Then we have to wait until noon, this morning will be wasted."
"Did you freak out just now?" Zhuo Yiqing patted his back lightly, "Is it better now?"
Wen Ai carefully felt his little heart with a slightly faster frequency, and said in a low voice: "I haven't slowed down yet."
Zhuo Yiqing pressed his head into her embrace, and gently stroked it with her hand: "Don't be afraid, brother is here."
After resting for a while, Wen Ai went out the door lightly, avoiding the swarm of bees far away, and went to the outer valley to call someone back.
The hive that was built overnight was gone in the blink of an eye.
After this frightening, Wen Ai's clogged brain circuit was actually frightened, and he had a flash of inspiration, and filled in a small part of the key to the poison formula.
A few days later, Wen Ai walked into Zhuo Yiqing's room with a small wooden box. He opened the lid of the box and gave it to Zhuo Yiqing without saying a word.
The bottom of the box was covered with a thick layer of silk cloth, on which lay a blood-red pill.
Zhuo Yiqing glanced into the box: "Is my blood used to study this?"
Wen Ai nodded slightly: "Yes."
Zhuo Yiqing took a sip of tea leisurely: "What will happen if you eat it?"
Wen Ai lowered his eyes and stared at the foot of the table: "Martial arts are useless."
Zhuo Yiqing calmly put the teacup back on the table: "Do you want me to try it?"
Wen Ai's lips tightened. If possible, he certainly didn't want Zhuo Yiqing to try it. This pill was a real poison. Even if Zhuo Yiqing would benefit from it in the future, it would not be able to offset the pain that would be caused now.
Wen Ai knew that he should forcefully ask Zhuo Yiqing to eat it, and even opened his mouth to forcefully stuff it in, but he was Wen Ai, not Yin Qianshuang, so he couldn't still be confident when he was hurting someone. He didn't even dare to look at Zhuo Yiqing.
Zhuo Yiqing saw that Wen Ai kept her head down and said nothing, she suddenly chuckled: "It's not you who are testing the medicine, why are you so depressed?"
Wen Ai bit her lip: "I..."
"Reluctance to bear me?" Zhuo Yiqing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then why don't we try?"
Wen Ai clenched his fists, and let out a breath after a while: "Try."
Zhuo Yiqing took the box from Wen Ai's hand, and readily agreed: "Okay, but I have conditions."
Wen Ai looked up at him: "What condition?"
"Don't lock me up again." Zhuo Yiqing said, "Anyway, I won't have any martial arts at that time, your inner valley is full of cliffs, and there are guards guarding the outside, I can't escape even if I want to, so I hope I can Free movement in the valley."
Wen Ai hesitated: "Let me think about it..."
Zhuo Yiqing supported her chin with one hand, while fiddling with the lid of the medicine box with the other: "If you are worried about my escape, you can give me the poison that requires regular antidote."
He shifted his gaze to Wen Ai: "In this way, I can't leave you."
Wen Ai didn't expect that Zhuo Yiqing not only agreed to test the medicine, but also rushed to take the poison, her eyes widened suddenly, and she asked in surprise, "Are you okay?"
Zhuo Yiqing grinned at him: "Aren't I pursuing freedom?"
An agreement was made in this way. The funny thing is that Wen Ai was supposed to take the lead in this matter, but in the end he only started it, and Zhuo Yiqing pushed the rest away.
Zhuo Yiqing took the pill out of the box and ate it without hesitation.
No matter how powerful the poison is, it takes a certain amount of time to start to take effect. While waiting for the effect of the medicine, neither of them spoke or made any unnecessary movements. The room was quiet, and there was no sound of moving chairs or fiddling with teacups.
Wen Ai thought about it alone, he and Zhuo Yiqing were always noisy when they were together, this was the first time they had encountered such an atmosphere, and the silence was so embarrassing.
He also didn't expect Zhuo Yiqing to maintain his original humor at this time, so he took the initiative to speak: "Then what, wasn't that medicine very sweet just now?"
He asked this question without thinking, Zhuo Yiqing was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be."
"Of course, I added a lot of honey when I squeezed the pills." Wen Ai pointed to his room, "Do you remember the beehives outside my room a few days ago? Wasn't it being treated at the time? I dug a small piece of honey from it, which is very sweet, and I added this medicine to it.”
Zhuo Yiqing looked at him with a half-smile: "Well, it's very sweet."
The room fell silent again.
Wen Ai stared at the teapot on the table, fidgeting.
Zhuo Yiqing's lips turned white, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why are you more nervous than me?"
Wen Ai glanced at him timidly: "Aren't you angry... I locked you up and bled you every day, and now I'm still crippling your martial arts."
The effect of the medicine started to take effect, Zhuo Yiqing's face turned completely pale, he was in pain, and his extraordinary meridians seemed to be being torn apart, he just gritted his teeth and didn't shout out, turned his head and smiled at Wen Ai: "Don't be angry, if you hadn't saved me, I would have been a graveyard. If I lose my martial arts, I can--uh!"
Zhuo Yiqing clenched her teeth, the pain was so painful that she couldn't continue talking.
Wen Ai stood beside him helplessly: "I'll help you to the bed..."
As soon as his hand touched Zhuo Yiqing's shoulder, Zhuo Yiqing passed out on the ground.
Wen Ai struggled to put Zhuo Yiqing on the bed, helped him wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, then turned around and went to the medicinal material storehouse to grab a pair of medicines that could relieve symptoms and fry them.
While decocting the medicine, Wen Ai walked out of the kitchen and sat down on the steps weakly, the circles of his eyes turned red little by little, and finally shed tears.
He felt that he was selfish and bad, to torture a person like this for rewards and to retrieve his memory.
The system sensed that the host's emotions were not right, so it stopped eating snakes, and ran out to enlighten him: "You don't have to blame yourself, this is his fate, it was doomed long ago."
Wen Ai ignored it, shedding tears silently with her head down.
The system continued to persuade: "Without martial arts, he can only learn the unique skills of the world's masters in the future. You don't have to worry about him."
Wen Ai still didn't speak, and twitched from time to time while crying.
The system circled around anxiously: "No, look, there are many taskers. If you don't come, someone else will come. They won't be as soft-hearted as you, and the male lead will only suffer more. The exponent exploded so many times, it was his luck to meet you."
Wen Ai cried for a while, the tears gradually stopped, he wiped his face, got up and went to the kitchen to keep the medicine.
"I'll make him luckier."
