This time Chunxiu also heard clearly, and looked at Shen Muxi with joy, "Doctor Shen, this..."
"You've heard this voice before." Shen Muxi was not in a hurry, "Help me watch it."
Chunxiu nodded repeatedly, went out first, checked left and right, and made sure that no one was staring at her, so she called out "Doctor Shen".
Shen Muxi walked out the door, and responded softly twice, "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"
A small head popped out of the bushes, beckoned to Shen Muxi in the dark, and whispered in a low voice, "Mom, I'm here!"
"Doctor Shen, I'll watch out for you!" Chunxiu hurriedly said.
Shen Muxi nodded, and quickly ran to the bushes, Shen Zhi immediately threw himself into his mother's arms, Shen Muxi let out a "sneak", ignoring the pain on his body, he hugged his son tightly, "Mother knows, You'll be fine! My mother's Zhi'er is so smart, how could she fall into the hands of those people?"
That's what I said, but she was the one who was running around in the room in a hurry.
"Mother, come with me!" Shen Zhi raised his head.
"What's wrong?" Shen Muxi sniffed lightly, "Why do you smell like blood?"
Shen Zhi seemed to be scrupulous about something, hooked his mother's neck, leaned into her ear and said carefully, "I hid Uncle Lu, he won't let me tell the people in the government, for fear that the walls have ears."
Shen Muxi was stunned, "Lu Guizhou?" Is this Lu Guizhou real or fake? Another fake? But Chunxiu told her before that Zhishu and Lu Guizhou were kidnapped and Lu Guizhou's life and death were unknown.
"Yes!" Shen Zhi nodded.
"Which position is it hurt?" Shen Muxi asked, "On the back?"
"It's also on the back, it's from the whip." Shen Zhi thought for a while, "Especially where the hands and feet are."
Eyelashes raised in amazement, Shen Muxi asked Shen Zhi to squat back to the bushes, "Mother, go get the medicine, you wait here, let's leave together."
"En!" Shen Zhi obediently squatted back into the bushes, hiding himself tightly.
Seeing Shen Muxi packing up bottles, gauze scissors, etc., Chunxiu was full of surprise, "Doctor Shen, are you leaving now?"
"Zhi'er may have found the real Lu Guizhou, but Lu Guizhou didn't dare to show his face, fearing that those people were looking for him, so Zhi'er hid him." Shen Muxi had finished packing, and walked out of the room with a small package on his back. , "Leave a dark light in the room, don't light it."
Chunxiu nodded, "Don't worry!"
Shen Zhi slipped in through the broken wall on the edge of the backyard, and the patrolling yamen servants hadn't come yet, so the three of them climbed out of the wall in the dark. Chunxiu struggled to climb, the gap was too small, she squeezed out with all her strength, but she couldn't if she didn't follow, what if something happened to the mother and child again
Behind the Town God's Temple on the west side, there are two abandoned thatched huts. There are usually no people there.
A wooden bed, a tattered mat, the room has a strong musty smell, there is no light in the room, and you can't see your fingers.
When Shen Zhi arrived with Shen Muxi and Chunxiu, there was a muffled noise in the room, Chunxiu held Shen Muxi's mother and child, and rushed into the room first, while a person was lying on the ground, looking motionless.
"Zhi'er light the lamp, Chunxiu puts her on the bed!" Shen Muxi ordered crisply.
"yes!"
"okay!"
The candles were lit, and the flames were radiant, and at least they could see the scene inside the house clearly.
On the wooden bed, the young man was dying, with bloodstains all over his body, how could he see his original appearance.
"It seems to be Lu Guizhou!" Chunxiu took a closer look, "It's just... lost weight!"
Shen Muxi didn't make a sound, quickly opened the bag, put the pulse diagnosis on Lu Guizhou's wrist, and took his pulse with a solemn expression, "These bastards!"
"Are you going to die?" Chunxiu blinked and asked.
Shen Muxi gave her a blank look, "Don't talk nonsense, you help bring that white porcelain bottle here first."
Chunxiu hurriedly handed it over, "Can it be saved?"
Shen Zhi recognized this small porcelain bottle, which contained detoxification pills. Seeing his mother pouring two pills into Lu Guizhou's mouth, Shen Zhi hastily poured a glass of water and brought it to him, "Mother, is Uncle Lu poisoned?"
"En!" Shen Muxi took the cup, and pushed the pills into Lu Guizhou's throat little by little with water, "Fortunately, I can still swallow it. It's not very poisonous, so he can have a chance to escape, but this The poison is a bit tricky, and it won't get rid of it for a while, so it's important to save your life first."
After finishing speaking, Shen Muxi handed the cup back to Shen Zhi, turned his head and said to Chunxiu, "Chunxiu, help me strip his clothes first."
Chunxiu blinked, "Peel off? I'm a big girl with yellow flowers, isn't it suitable?"
"When is it? It's you looking at him and not him looking at you. Why are you so shy?" Shen Zhi curled his lips, "Aunt Chunxiu, you wouldn't be so cowardly, would you? You don't even have the guts?"
Chunxiu put her hands on her hips, "Who said I was cowardly? You go and ask, who is the most courageous in the whole Huli Village?"
"It's my Uncle Lu who suffers, not you." Shen Zhi looked disgusted, "Maybe Uncle Lu is so pretty! Don't you want to see it?"
Chunxiu thought for a while, "That's right, it's good to have a look in advance, in case I get married in the future, I can understand a little bit about a man's body."
"That's it!" Shen Zhi hurriedly pushed her, "Hurry up, I'm afraid Uncle Lu's life will be lost if it's too late!"
Taking a breath, Chunxiu rolled up her sleeves, and directly hugged Lu Guizhou who was in a coma. In this way, Shen Muxi could save a lot of energy, and stripped Lu Guizhou's clothes to nothing but A pair of trousers.
Of course, Shen Muxi also had to save some face for Lu Guizhou. The trousers were slowly rolled up, just above the knees, and the bruises and swellings on the knees of both legs could be clearly seen, and the ankles were hardened. The bloodstains left after being strangled, because there is no medicine, and because they are infected by dirt, have festered and flowed.
On Lu Guizhou's body, there were countless large and small wounds, including whip marks and marks of sticks, from limbs to fingers, there were almost all scars.
"How bad is this?" Chunxiu's eyes widened. "It's like running out of death row, and there are brand marks! What are these crazy people trying to do? They are just powerless people. Do you deserve to be so ruthless?"
Lu Guizhou was born fair and tender, and the scars on his body were even more glaring and shocking.
Shen Muxi couldn't bear it, so he used water to wipe away the rotten wound on Lu Guizhou's body, and then applied golden sore medicine to bandage it. She moved very quickly and deftly, but Lu Guizhou still woke up from the pain.
Seeing her, he gasped in pain, then quickly squeezed out a weak smile, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell Zhi'er not to tell you, just find a doctor for me?" Is it done?"
He paused, as if he was afraid that she would be worried, he stretched out his hand to grab the quilt, but remembered that this was not an inn, there was only one mat on the plank bed, and he didn't have the energy to use the mat to hide his roll, his bloodless face flushed. With obvious anxiety, "I don't hurt, it just looks ugly!"
Shen Muxi didn't say a word, the wound on her upper body had already been bandaged, she sat on the bed, wiped off the blood on his ankle, and gently rubbed the powder on his wound with her warm fingertips.
Seeing this, Lu Guizhou struggled to stand up, "I, I can do it myself."
"Since I'm looking for a doctor, why can't I come?" This was the answer to what he said just now, Shen Muxi wrapped his ankle with gauze, then got up to take the plaster, and prepared to apply medicine to his knee.
The parts where the skin is broken and bleeding have been treated, and the rest are bruises, which need to be rubbed with plaster to help blood circulation and blood stasis.
"I'll do it myself!" Lu Guizhou crossed his hands in front of his chest, meeting Chunxiu's blinking expression, Lu Guizhou thought for a while and then turned his back, silently leaving a back for them.
Shen Muxi and Shen Zhi turned their heads at the same time, seeing Chunxiu's silly smile, they both shook their heads helplessly.
"Aunt Chunxiu, wipe off your drool!" Shen Zhi said.
Chunxiu froze for a moment, then hastily wiped her mouth with her hand, "How could it be? How could it be!"
"Won't your conscience ache when you look at this white-haired girl like this?" Shen Zhi curled his lips, "Who was hypocritical just now, saying that he is a yellow-flowered girl and refuses to help anyway?"
"Who? Who said that? Who's hypocritical?" Chunxiu pulled the corners of her lips, and straightened a stool that fell on the ground beside her, "Is this the kind of person I am, Chunxiu? What's the matter? Who did you provoke, why are those people holding on to you?"
Lu Guizhou turned around abruptly, "Xi'er, you..."
"I'm fine!" Shen Muxi put his trousers down, "They arrested me because of my master Mu Zhongzhou, and they didn't really come for me. I don't know exactly why."
Shen Zhi glanced at his mother, then touched his chest subconsciously, but fortunately he was still there!
"They arrested you for money?" Shen Muxi asked, "But there are countless rich and noble people in the world, why did they choose you?" Here, similar things will keep coming.
Lu Guizhou nodded thoughtfully, but did not answer, as if he was also thinking about something.
With the candles flickering, Chunxiu went to get a set of clothes for Lu Guizhou to change into, and some food for Lu Guizhou. After the incident, the four of them nestled in the thatched hut, and the wind blew the windows and made a "squeaky" sound, making the house seem more and more quiet.
"I didn't escape by myself." Lu Guizhou said.
A stone stirred up thousands of waves, Shen Muxi looked at him in surprise, "Someone saved you?"
Lu Guizhou nodded, "Yes, that man was wearing black clothes, covering his face, but his eyes were very sharp, and he was very fast. I was injured at the time, so I was in a daze, and I couldn't see very clearly. But listening to his voice, he seems to be a little old."
Shen Muxi frowned, "But someone you know well?"
"I don't know." Lu Guizhou was not sure, "I'm not worried about myself, I'm only worried about you and Zhi'er. If I got implicated because of me, I'd rather not run out. These people are daring, they want more than money , organized and purposeful, manpower, material and financial resources, I am afraid that it is not the same as the ordinary generation."
On this point, Shen Muxi agrees, "The Thousand Faced Lord you are talking about is from the Jianghu?"
Lu Guizhou traveled all over the world to do business, and also had a lot of contact with people in the Jianghu, "I know him, but as early as many years ago, this gentleman with a thousand faces disappeared. I didn't expect to hide here to raise snakes? What is the point of raising these snakes?" For what?"
"They are making snake Gu." Shen Muxi got up, his eyes darkened, "I don't know what to think, using snakes to refine Gu, but their recipe seems immature, and I don't know where they got it, although It is a medicine for tigers and wolves, but the dose is wrong, so the snake itself has a different ability to accept the medicine, so the final result cannot be guaranteed." Lu Guizhou narrowed his eyes, "Snake Gu?"
"I also read it from Master's book by chance, that is to keep the poisonous Gu worms in the body of the snake, and feed them with the medicine of tiger and wolf every day, so that the poisonous Gu worms can grow in the snake's body, and finally stabilize and control the snake's body. Take action, and use this to pass on the poison. Snake Gu is passed down from generation to generation, and the toxin will accumulate more and more, and eventually it will become a highly poisonous poison that cannot be cured." Shen Muxi gritted his teeth, "What the hell are these people doing? "
"And no matter what we do, we have a clear conscience." Lu Guizhou thought for a while and said, "By the way, they asked me for Minghua before."
"Minghua?" Chunxiu was puzzled, and when she spoke, she lowered her head and glanced at Shen Zhi who was drowsy in her arms, "What kind of flower is that?"
"It should be a kind of medicinal material." Lu Guizhou said, "I don't know what it is used for. I have been in the medicinal material business for so many years, and I have never heard of this kind of medicinal material. I think it is a rare thing."
Shen Muxi's lips were tightly lined, and he looked at the three tired people with slightly aggravated eyes, "You are all tired, let's put this matter aside for now, take a good rest first, and talk about it after you have recovered your energy."
Lu Guizhou sighed, "I can't stay here!"
Can't stay
That's natural.
In the middle of the night, both Chunxiu and Shen Zhi fell asleep, Shen Muxi put his coat on them and sat alone on the steps outside the hut. The sky is full of stars, and the warm wind is blowing. There is no irritability during the day at night, but it is comfortable.
"Can't sleep?" Lu Guizhou sat down beside her wearily.
"You haven't recovered yet, go back and rest!" Shen Muxi said, "I'll watch over you, if anything happens, I'll find out in time!"
"This is what men do." Under the starlight, Lu Guizhou was as gentle as ever, "Xi'er, go to sleep! Zhi'er told me about your affairs, and I can vaguely guess what you have gone through. What. I also know that the person from the Wangfu is here, and he wants to take you back to Dongdu."
"I didn't plan to go with him at first." Shen Muxi smiled, "I've been here for so many years, I wasn't there when I needed it, and I don't need it now. If it wasn't for you and Master back then, maybe... I would really die .”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Guizhou coughed lightly. His lingering poison was still lingering, and his body was full of injuries. He found it difficult to speak, but he still cleared his throat in protest, "Tongyan speaks out!"
Shen Muxi laughed out loud, "I'm not a child."
"In the future, don't talk about whether you are dead or not. Living is more important than anything else." Lu Guizhou's mouth was sweet, he trembled, his throat rolled, and he suppressed again, "Don't forget, you still have Zhier!"
"En!" Shen Muxi nodded, "After dawn, we will leave after receiving the book, away from right and wrong here."
Lu Guizhou opened his mouth, and actually wanted to ask "Are you willing?", but he couldn't get out of his mouth when the words came to his lips. If you want to poke your heart, why ask? For some answers, not knowing is far happier than knowing!
Therefore, he smiled at her gently, "It's all up to you!"
"You... don't you want to ask anything?" Shen Muxi hesitated for a while, "For example, how did I escape, or did he recognize me?"
"Didn't you say you were leaving?" Lu Guizhou smiled. "Then everything here will become a memory. Since it is a memory, why bother to ask more questions? Xi'er, don't keep everything in your heart, let go of things that are worthy or worthwhile. It's not worth it, it's a lifetime, don't be too tired!" Shen Muxi nodded, looking up at the stars in the sky, although he was worried, although there were still things to be done, but after reaching a certain age and having a certain experience , You must learn to let go, so that you can live a better life.
Before dawn, Shen Muxi and Shen Zhi took Lu Guizhou and left quickly. After Chunxiu brought Zhishu out, they went to meet at the tea shed in Shilipo.
Chunxiu took a deep breath, and while the yamen servants were chatting, she ran into the medical hall in a hurry. Liu Butou took her to see Zhishu last time, so she knew which room the book was in.
Feeling in with ease, Chunxiu carefully closed the door, and Zhishu lay with his back to the door, looking as if he hadn't woken up yet.
It's not yet dawn, it's understandable that people are still asleep, but his master's life and death are unknown, and as a slave, he can sleep so soundly, in Chunxiu's opinion, this kid is quite heartless.
"Knowledge book?" Chunxiu called softly, turned her head to look outside the door, and took out a letter from her sleeve, which was given by Shen Muxi, saying it was for Liu Butou. Because it is inconvenient to go to the government office, it will be placed in the medical clinic at that time. When someone finds out that the book of knowledge is missing, the letter will be sent to Butou Liu.
Zhishu didn't respond
Chunxiu gritted her teeth, and immediately slapped her, "You brat, are you still sleeping?"
Zhishu turned over abruptly, Chunxiu's eyes widened in shock, "You?"
…
At dawn, Shen Muxi had already taken his son and sat in the tea shed with Lu Guizhou, and he just waited for Chunxiu to rescue Zhishu and join them!
But after a long time, Chunxiu didn't come back, Shen Muxi couldn't sit still, stood up from time to time, went to the intersection to check, feeling very nervous, afraid that something might happen.
"Don't worry!" Lu Guizhou poured her a cup of hot water, "Chunxiu is so strong, the yamen servant can't do anything to her, she can bring Zhishu back. Just stay calm and wait a little longer!"
How can Shen Muxi calm down, the longer the delay, the less at ease she feels, those people are still wandering around the government office, who knows if they will arrest Chunxiu? Furthermore, if Bao Yunxiu knew that she had run away again, would he blame others? That guy has a cold heart, so he can't guarantee that he will do something cruel.
"Zhi'er, eat more. If something goes wrong later, take your mother away first." Lu Guizhou touched Shen Zhi's little head, "You remember what Uncle Lu told you. ?”
Shen Zhi nodded, eating steamed buns in his mouth, "Remember it!"
"That's good!" Lu Guizhou was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that it would drag down their mother and son. He was injured, and if something happened, he wouldn't be able to run at all, so he had already made preparations before that.
"What are you talking about?" Shen Muxi was puzzled, "What did you tell Zhi'er?"
Lu Guizhou handed over the steamed buns, "I'll tell you when I eat it!"
Shen Muxi rolled his eyes, reached out to take it, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "Can you say it?"
"Let's talk after eating!" One big and one small said in unison, and the two looked at each other, smiling quite tacitly.
"I really can't do anything about you!" Shen Muxi sighed helplessly, and sat back lukewarmly, but before he swallowed a sip of water, there was the sound of horseshoes, the deafening sound of horseshoes, which shocked the passers-by in the tea shed. Then panicked, one by one hugged the burden tightly, for fear that it might be some kind of bandit bandit.
When Shen Muxi came back to his senses, he quickly supported Lu Guizhou, "Zhier, let's go!" Unfortunately, it was too late.
The guards of Prince Li's Mansion had already surrounded the entire tea shed. Bo Yunxiu was riding a tall horse, and the crisp sound of the horse's hooves seemed to be stepping on her heart. It was heavy and terrifying.
Shen Muxi was still supporting Lu Guizhou, looking up at the people in the backlight, she couldn't clearly see the change in his expression at the moment, the darkness hidden in the backlight cast all the shadows on top of her head, condescending, cold and cold .
That seemed to be the darkest part of her heart.
She thought about it, this is the real Bo Yunxiu, there will never be the warmth and warmth of the sun, only shadows and coldness, just like now, he is very much like the Shura envoy in front of the Hades Palace, as long as he gives an order , she and her son, as well as Lu Guizhou and others, will all die without a place to bury them.
His body was stretched straight, and he looked coldly at Shen Muxi holding Lu Guizhou's arm, so intimate, when he looked up at her, the brilliance in his bright eyes completely dimmed, becoming unspeakably obscure. She was afraid, desperate, and even wanted to escape!
"Prince?" Mi Li called out in a low voice.
Tightening the reins, Bao Yunxiu looked down at her, "Come here!"
Shen Muxi stood still, if he couldn't get through it would be a dead end, why should he wrong himself? She held Lu Guizhou's arm tightly, and a heroic and generous look appeared on her face.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mi Li hesitated, but then seemed to understand what the master meant, suddenly got off the horse and went straight to the three of them. Mi Li's speed was very fast. The moment Shen Muxi realized it, he had already picked up Shen Zhi and quickly returned to the horse.
"Let go of me! Mother! Mother!" Shen Zhi struggled, but his body was laid across the horse's back, unable to move at all.
Bo Yunxiu gave him a look, Mi Xin understood, and immediately rode back.
"Zhier!" Shen Muxi blushed anxiously, let go of Lu Guizhou quickly, and went straight to Bo Yunxiu's horse, "What exactly do you want?"
Bao Yunxiu's eyes were fierce, and he gave Lu Guizhou a ruthless look, then leaned over suddenly, almost using brute force, suddenly supported her lower back, and with lightning speed, directly threw her across her on horseback.
With a sound of horse crowing, the horse grows.
"Xi'er!" Lu Guizhou cried out hysterically.
However, he had an injury on his foot, so if he had to walk back alone, he would have to spend a lot of time on the phone. But even so, he had to grit his teeth and go back, and he couldn't let Xi'er be alone and helpless.
I was so fast that my internal organs were almost displaced, and finally there was a "wow" and I vomited!
Everyone was stunned, how dare this woman spit on the prince's boots
The fire in Bo Yunxiu's eyes was bright, but at that moment, a strange panic broke out, and he quickly hugged her and sat her in front of him, letting her lean into his arms. Looking down was her pale face, her long eyelashes were half drooping, and she was dying.
He let her lean on him, and slowly closed his hands holding the rein of the horse, seemingly inadvertently wrapping her in his arms.
The horse team slowed down and rushed back into the city.
Mi Li waited for a long time, until noon, and finally saw the prince coming from afar. Dr. Shen leaned in the arms of the prince, tilted his head, and let the prince lock her in his arms, the two of them seemed to be a little close? !
Standing at the gate of the mansion, Wei Xian'er gasped for an instant, her face changed completely, others didn't know it, they thought it was because she was severely sunburned. Ever since people came to report that Shen Muxi and Chunxiu were missing, the prince couldn't sit still and took people to look for them himself.
No, rather than looking for it, it might as well be chasing after it.
If Wei Xian'er still had a glimmer of hope before, then at this moment, she has been beaten back to her original form. And seeing Bo Yunxiu hugging the weak man, not even daring to drive the horse, just walking slowly, Wei Xian'er knew that Bao Yunxiu was serious this time.
But Wei Xian'er didn't understand, why? Shen Muxi was born handsome, but there is no shortage of beautiful women in the palace, not to mention Shen Muxi is so staunch, does it mean that men like this? Like to conquer? Or, did he really find the shadow of that woman back then in Shen Muxi
"Mother?" Bo Yu clenched her mother's hand, but her breathing was messed up, and she stared straight ahead with anger. Before Mi Li brought back Shen Zhi, and now father brought back Shen Muxi, why are the Shen mother and son so lingering
"Your father is eager for talents!" Wei Xian'er's eyes turned red, "Don't talk nonsense."
Bo Yu looked at her, turned her small face away angrily, and bit her lower lip tightly.
Mi Li stepped forward quickly, stretching out his hand to take Shen Muxi down, but it was replaced by the master's anti-thief eye knife, so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, bowed and knelt on the ground without saying a word, using his back as a stirrup.
"How long do you want to rely on me?" Bo Yunxiu asked in a cold voice.
The person in his arms didn't respond.
Looking down slightly, Bao Yunxiu looked down at Shen Muxi who had her eyes closed tightly, "Even if you pretend to be dead, this king will still settle the debt with you!"
Shen Muxi still didn't move, not even humming when he was usually angry.
Bao Yunxiu quickly supported her shoulders, thinking of reasoning with her, but Shen Muxi tilted his body and fell towards the horse in an instant. It was too late and then quickly, Bao Yunxiu quickly grabbed her waist, and with the force of her fall, he also got off the horse, holding her firmly in his arms.
Pressing her cheek against her forehead, her mind exploded, and Bo Yunxiu's eyes darkened, "Call the doctor quickly!"
He ignored no one, and walked in with Shen Muxi in his arms.
Bo Yu was so angry that she stomped her feet. When her father went in, she didn't even give him a look, didn't even look at him, because she was holding another woman in her arms? The little hands clenched into fists, Bo Yu gritted his teeth, and stared fiercely at Shen Zhi, who was pinned by the guards on both shoulders and unable to move.
Shen Zhi's chest rose and fell, and he was also out of breath, watching Bo Yu striding towards him, "What do you guys want..."
There was a crisp "pop", and there was a sudden silence all around.
Dark red blood overflowed from the corner of Shen Zhi's lips, and fell on the ground bit by bit.
