Chapter 273: We’re Afraid We Can’t Leave
That night, Ji Yunshu deliberately made people more alert, but he didn't expect that they would still be drugged by smoke in the middle of the night.
Ji Yunshu had a keen sense of smell. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately covered his mouth and nose and shouted a few times. Except for Bai Ling and Yin Shu, everyone else had fainted.
Bai Ling is a doctor and knows the smell of the drug, while Yin Shu is obviously experienced.
In the blink of an eye, he had fed the antidote into everyone's mouths.
Qiyun opened her eyes dazedly and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Ji Yunshu made a silencing gesture towards her.
Seeing that everyone had woken up, Yin Shu whispered, "We have to leave here as soon as possible."
It was the dead of night. Those people wouldn't have drugged them because they were worried that they couldn't sleep.
Everyone was about to stand up when they heard Ji Yunshu say in a deep voice, "I'm afraid we can't leave."
At this time, Yin Ye's voice also rang out: "What's that sound?"
Qiyun grew up here after all, so she reacted faster than others: "It's snakes, there are a lot of snakes coming towards us."
Upon hearing this, Yin Shu immediately rekindled the extinguished fire.
Bai Ling also sprinkled the realgar he carried with him around.
There are many insects and snakes in southern Xinjiang, so they prepared a lot when they came.
The first group of snakes that crawled over really poked their heads out and then retreated.
But soon the snakes began to endure the discomfort and continue forward.
Yin Ye swung his sword and cut off several snakes that approached them. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many snakes?"
It was the first time in her life that she had seen so many snakes.
Qiyun explained with a pale face, "There are snake masters controlling these snakes."
Ji Yunshu also faintly heard the intermittent and discordant sound of the flute.
She looked at the densely packed snakes crawling towards her and felt like she was about to suffer from claustrophobia.
"You're from Southern Xinjiang too, don't you know how to control snakes?"
Qiyun shook her head. "The snake tamers in our southern border have passed down this skill from generation to generation. Only a very small number of people know how to do it. I specialize in poison remedies, so I don't know much about this."
Ji Yunshu didn't know whether what she said was true, but no matter what, Qiyun could no longer be relied upon.
He had no choice but to turn around and look at Yin Shu, who had already killed many snakes.
The journey was smooth and peaceful, and this was the first time Ji Yunshu saw him take action.
His movements were very light and agile. As he turned and moved, all the snakes that approached him were swept away by his sword, leaving only a faint fishy smell floating in the air.
Seeing Ji Yunshu looking at him, he said helplessly, "I've been to Southern Xinjiang many times, but this is the first time I've seen so many snakes. I don't know if we'll have to die here today."
Ji Yunshu was protected by several people behind him. He watched him nimbly avoid the attacking snake and draw his sword cleanly and neatly. He smiled and said, "We might die here, but you are a good martial artist and are not the enemy's target. It won't be difficult for us to leave."
While Yin Shu was cooperating with Bai Ling and Yin Ye in swinging their swords to kill the snake, he couldn't help but look back. A woman in red was standing there with a smile on her face. The firelight reflected on her face. There was no trace of fear, only indescribable calmness.
At this moment, Yin Shu had to admit that this woman was indeed different.
He recalled the man's description: "She is the brightest light in the world."
It is indeed appropriate.
While he was distracted, Bai Ling swept away a snake that jumped in front of him with a sword. He couldn't help but say, "What are you thinking? Are you going to die?"
Yin Shu quickly said thank you with a smile, and then Ji Yunshu said: "These snakes are poisonous. Madam, please use your method quickly, otherwise we will all die here."
Ji Yunshu had been listening to the intermittent flute sounds for a while and roughly understood the melody, so he picked up a leaf, put it to his lips, and started to blow.
Yin Shu couldn't help but rub his ears: "What kind of song is this? Why is it so unpleasant?"
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Yin Ye said quickly, "It worked. The snakes are retreating."
Yin Shu took a look and saw that the snakes that were crawling towards him desperately had indeed slowed down and even began to retreat.
After Ji Yunshu finished listening to the performance, he asked with a complicated expression, "You can actually control snakes?"
This is not something a lady of good family should know.
In fact, many people in Beijing have never heard of this thing.
Ji Yunshu hadn't expected him to have such a strong imagination about his family. He twitched his lips and said, "Actually, the principle of controlling snakes is very simple. It's just to get them used to certain rhythms. All I do is disrupt their habits."
The sound of the flute that controlled the snake was disturbed, and the snake didn't know what to do. It naturally didn't like the smell of fire and realgar, so it retreated naturally.
Yin Shu was a smart man and immediately understood what she meant, but he still admired Ji Yunshu for being able to come up with such an idea.
"Madam is really clever."
Ji Yunshu didn't comment on his praise. These were certainly not her ideas, but something she learned from watching videos in her previous life.
But she certainly couldn't let anyone know about this, so she had no choice but to shift her gaze, looking at the direction where the snake had retreated not far away and said, "Since you're here, won't you come out and meet me?"
The other party was actually not prepared to come out to meet her.
If Ji Yunshu died in the snake's mouth, he could only blame himself for his bad luck, and Zhao Shen would not be able to say anything in the future.
After all, Southern Xinjiang is full of poisonous insects and snakes. Who asked Ji Yunshu to come here on his own?
But now she is fine and apparently has a way to restrain the snake's attack.
He had to show up.
Qiyun saw the person appearing across from her and screamed, "Kesan, what are you going to do?"
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Do you know him?"
Qiyun smiled bitterly and said, "He is the young patriarch of the Hongtu tribe."
Hongtu tribe is one of the three major tribes in southern Xinjiang.
Seeing her expression, Ji Yunshu asked, "You have a special relationship with him, right?"
Qiyun did not hide it: "He is my fiancé."
"He knows you're here, right? It doesn't look like he intends to let you go."
Ji Yunshu's eyes flickered between the two of them, wondering what was going on between them.
Qiyun said: "The Hongtu tribe has grown stronger in recent years and has been dissatisfied with our Yuxi tribe for a long time. Besides, he doesn't like me."
Ji Yunshu nodded and comforted her, "There are many good men. It's better to stay away from such filthy people to avoid being contaminated by bad luck."
Kesang was also very good at Chinese. Hearing her scolding him without paying attention to others, he couldn't help but say, "Madam, you remain calm in the face of danger. You are truly a heroine. But this is southern Xinjiang. Even if your husband comes here, he may not be able to leave. Since you have come to me on your own, don't blame me."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Since I'm here, I've naturally thought about what will happen. You can let me die here, it's your ability, why should I blame you?"
Having said that, she swept the snake corpses on the ground and asked, "Are you sure you can kill me?"
At least in the short term, the snake can't do anything to her.
And this Ksan has already appeared.
If he fails to kill everyone here, there will be endless trouble.
