【Chapter 048】Two poisonous insects
【Chapter 048】Two poisonous insects
The whole room was silent.
Just when there was no sound at all, a slight rustling sound suddenly came. The three siblings of the Ye family turned around at the same time and saw Nangong Chenyu reading a storybook.
Ye Yishen retracted his gaze, calmly picked up the teacup and began to drink tea.
Only Ye Yixin looked at Ye Yuncheng speechlessly: "Second brother, the sound you are talking about can't be..." She pointed in the direction of Nangong Chenyu, and the implication of her words was self-evident.
Ye Yuncheng rolled his eyes at his little sister, looked around, and found that she was the only one paying attention to him. He originally wanted to play a pity role, but he could only say with a sad face: "Didn't you hear the sound of my heart breaking?"
Ye Yixin: “…”
She shouldn't have spoken.
"Brother, excuse me."
After saying that, she turned to look at Ye Yisheng and asked, "Brother, why did you ask us to come to our father's place?"
"Wait a minute, and you'll know." Ye Yisheng kept the secret.
Seeing that he didn't say it clearly, Ye Yixin didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said flatteringly, "Brother, my cold has healed."
Ye Yisheng glanced at her: "And then?"
What's this overwhelming feeling of oppression?
After calming down and silently cheering herself up, Ye Yixin said in a negotiating tone: "Do you think the food in my yard can be restored to normal?"
After eating light porridge and side dishes for six consecutive days, she now has no energy at all and feels weak all over.
The servants in her yard were implicated because she pretended to be sick, and they looked at her as if she were a heartless person.
Ye Yisheng said indifferently: "The Ye Mansion will give you a monthly allowance of five taels of silver every month, and I will also subsidize each of you with a monthly allowance of fifty taels of silver."
After saying this, he glanced at Ye Yuncheng who was sitting opposite him, and then continued: "If you think the porridge and side dishes are not tasty, you can use the monthly allowance to cook for you."
Someone reports to him every day about how Xinxiyuan has been doing these days.
Ye Yuncheng, who was implicated, said: "..."
Fortunately, he didn't pretend to be sick, otherwise he would only be able to eat light porridge and side dishes. Now he is a idle man who doesn't even have a monthly salary. Fortunately, he chose to cling to his brother-in-law.
Ye Yuncheng silently gave a thumbs up to his own smart choice. When he looked at his twin sisters again, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Ye Yixin was completely dumbfounded.
Her monthly allowance was given to Fu Jianren.
Now her pockets are cleaner than her face.
If she had money, she would have cooked a special meal for herself long ago.
At this time, Ye Yisheng spoke again: "Xiao Xin, according to my observation, your cold will not be cured in three to five days."
"What do you mean, brother?" Ye Yixin always had a bad feeling in her heart. She wanted to fight for herself again: "Brother, I, my cold has been cured."
"You look pale and weak now. You don't look like you've recovered from your illness at all. In my opinion, given your current condition, you'll need to rest for at least a month or two."
After saying that, Ye Yishen gave Ye Yixin a meaningful look, as if to say: Since you like to pretend to be sick, then just continue to be sick.
Ye Yixin thought: It's over, Xinxiyuan will have to live on simple porridge and small dishes for at least another month!
Ye Yisheng had no idea that due to his recent punishment of his younger brother and sister, the two siblings had realized the importance of money.
So much so that after Ye Yixin and Ye Yuncheng became cultivators, they both fell into the eyes of Lingshi. The two of them became experts in collecting treasures and provided a lot of cultivation resources for the family.
"Brother."
Ye Yixin called out in grievance.
She wanted to act coquettishly, but she heard her eldest brother say something ambiguous: "I advise you to conserve your energy now, so as not to be shocked by the surprise later."
Is it a surprise that can scare people to death? It was more like a shock. Ye Yixin complained in her heart and asked, "What surprise?"
"If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise anymore." Ye Yisheng looked at Ye Yixin with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Ye Yixin: “…” The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Just at this time, Butler Du walked into the hall: "Master, son-in-law, second master, young lady, Mr. Huo is here."
"Let him in!" Ye Yisheng said.
"Okay, Master."
Butler Du went out for two minutes and brought Huo Zichen in.
Huo Zichen stood in the middle of the lobby and quickly scanned the people present. When his gaze passed Nangong Chenyu, it stayed for a second, and then he greeted Ye Yishen as if nothing had happened.
"Young Master Ye."
"Who should start first?" Ye Yishen asked directly.
Huo Zichen was surprised. As far as he knew, Ye Yisheng should only know that Ye Yuncheng was poisoned. But why would Ye Yisheng ask this now?
"What does Master Ye mean?" Huo Zichen asked tentatively.
"This is the yard where my father lives. He is lying on the bed in the next room. My second brother and younger sister are here. Mr. Huo, do you want me to explain it more clearly?"
After knowing the magical effect of spiritual consciousness, he personally examined the health of his father and younger sister two days ago. As he expected, everyone in his family except him was bewitched.
The reason why he was not cursed was probably because of his poor health.
Huo Zichen didn't expect that Ye Yisheng knew everything.
Now, others have to bow their heads under the eaves. Only by removing the poison from the Ye family can he leave safely.
Anyway, he already knew the approximate location of the Ye family's treasure house, and he believed that as long as he sent more people to search, he would be able to find it.
Thinking of this, he said: "In this case, let's start with Patriarch Ye!"
The group moved to Ye Xian's bedroom.
But when he entered the room, Huo Zichen suddenly said, "Second Master Ye and Miss Ye had better not enter the room."
Without waiting for the brother and sister to ask why, Ye Yisheng said to them, "You two wait outside the door."
Ye Yixin and Ye Yuncheng were confused: "..."
Watching them enter the room, Ye Yixin could only look inside: "What on earth is Big Brother doing? He's so mysterious."
Ye Yuncheng thought of something, but felt it was impossible.
"Second brother, I'm talking to you!" Ye Yixin nudged Ye Yuncheng with her elbow.
"Brother said there is a surprise, you just wait patiently." Ye Yuncheng patted Ye Yixin's head and said.
In the room.
After the servants brought in a bowl of steaming medicine, Huo Zichen began to prepare to remove the Gu. He first took out a packet of black powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it into the medicine bowl. Then he took out a dagger, cut the palm of his left hand, and dripped five or six drops of blood into the bowl.
He quickly bandaged his hand with gauze and extended his right hand towards Ye Yisheng.
"My piccolo."
Ye Yishen winked at Xiaoshun.
Xiao Shun understood and immediately took out Huo Zichen's piccolo and handed it to him.
Taking the piccolo, Huo Zichen swept his eyes over several people. Finally, he set his eyes on Butler Du: "Come here."
Butler Du looked at Ye Yishen, and only when he saw Ye Yishen nod did he step forward.
Huo Zichen rolled up Ye Xian's sleeves, pointed at Ye Xian's arm, and said to Butler Du: "When you see something moving from his arm to his wrist, use the dagger to cut his wrist."
After saying that, he handed the dagger to Butler Du.
Butler Du took the dagger and said one word: "Okay."
When everything was ready, Huo Zichen picked up the piccolo and started playing.
A shrill flute sounded.
Except for Huo Zichen, everyone else present frowned unconsciously.
Just when several people were about to be unable to bear the unpleasant flute sound, they finally saw something as big as a grain of rice wriggling in the flesh of Ye Xian's arm.
Butler Du, who was closest to the scene, felt every hair on his body stand up. He swallowed secretly, and his hand holding the dagger was shaking.
Ye Yishen patted Butler Du's shoulder gently.
Butler Du slowly returned to normal and tightened his grip on the dagger.
Nangong Chenyu, who was sitting on a stool, suddenly stood up and stepped forward, snatched the dagger from Butler Du's hand, and quickly and accurately cut Ye Xian's arm, then put the bowl of medicine that attracted the poisonous insects next to Ye Xian's bleeding arm.
The worm that was originally wriggling slowly in Ye Xian's arm, like a cat smelling blood, quickly crawled to the wound.
Then he dove into the bowl of medicine.
The incident happened so quickly that before anyone could react, the Gu was already removed.
Just when Huo Zichen was about to put down the flute, Nangong Chenyu placed the dagger in his hand on his neck.
"Keep blowing."
Originally, Huo Zichen wanted to resist, but Nangong Chenyu exerted a little force, and the dagger cut Huo Zichen's skin, and blood flowed out along the dagger.
Now Huo Zichen didn't dare to move anymore, nor did he dare to disobey Nangong Chenyu's words, and hurriedly continued to play.
Although the others didn't know what Nangong Chenyu was going to do, they didn't say anything. Butler Du silently took a few steps back to give Nangong Chenyu enough room to perform.
Two minutes later.
While everyone else was still staring at Ye Xian's arm, Nangong Chenyu's gaze had already moved to Ye Xian's face. I saw that the area near the blue vein on Ye Xian's forehead was throbbing.
The dagger that was on Huo Zichen's neck was stabbed by Nangong Chenyu at Ye Xian's forehead.
Blood flowed out, and Ye Yisheng, who was the first to react, immediately placed the medicine bowl next to Ye Xian's forehead.
Another bloody worm crawled out of the wound and fell into the bowl.
Ye Yishen calmed himself down, turned to look at Nangong Chenyu, and asked with his eyes: Is there anything else?
Nangong Chenyu understood it strangely.
“No more.”
After saying that, he left the bedside.
Ye Yishen then took two steps back, and Xiaoshun came forward with gauze to bandage Ye Xian's wound.
Putting down the medicine bowl, Ye Yisheng looked at Huo Zichen and asked, "Master Huo, what kind of poisonous insects are these?"
Huo Zichen was just about to say the names of two poisonous insects when suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes. On a stool not far away, Nangong Chenyu was wiping the dagger he had just used.
He polished the dagger until it was translucent and reflective.
For some reason, Huo Zichen had a strong intuition. As long as he dares to lie, the dagger will fall on him.
After hesitating for a moment, he chose to tell the truth.
"It's the mind control Gu and the sleepiness Gu."
