blood seal

After the discussion came to a conclusion, Ye Chengyu continued to deal with the affairs of the villa, and Wen Rongchuan left the study without having anything to do.

The sky was still bright, Wen Rongchuan didn't return to his room immediately.

He stood in the courtyard in a daze for a while, thinking about where to go next. Suddenly, a murderous intent swept across him, and Wen Rongchuan's nerves tensed suddenly——Xunfeng Villa is tightly guarded, how could there be murderous intent?

Wen Rongchuan looked around, but saw that the guards were still guarding their posts, and he seemed to be the only one who noticed the murderous intent at that moment.

The target is him?Or Ye Chengyu?

Wen Rongchuan stood in the same place for a while, but he didn't feel any suspicious atmosphere anymore. He weighed in his heart and immediately turned back to the study.

Yu Fei'an is still in the study, and Ye Chengyu is also protected by hidden guards, but in case of emergency, since the other party dares to sneak into the Xunfeng Villa, he must be prepared. To prevent accidents, he must stay by Ye Chengyu's side just work.

That night.

In the silence and darkness, many people in the village have turned off their lights and slept peacefully.

In the servant courtyard where the servants live, there are only two or three guards patrolling back and forth. Compared with the main courtyard, the defense is much looser, but it is already tighter than usual.

This afternoon, the villa was suspected of being broken into. Ye Cheng ordered people to strengthen the defense, and even the rest of the guards were transferred to the main courtyard to strengthen patrols.

Not long after, a secret guard was found dead outside the house of the old owner and his wife. Ye Chengyu went to check in person, but found nothing.

In the servant's courtyard, in the maid's bedroom, Xiao Zi listened carefully to the movement outside, lying on the bed tossing and turning as if unable to fall asleep, at last, perhaps unable to lie down, Xiao Zi simply got up and left the room.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the guard casually glanced at the place where the sound came from. Seeing that Xiao Zi left the room and walked towards the latrine, he looked away again and continued his boring patrol.

But Xiao Zi, who was out of the sight of the guards, immediately turned to another more remote courtyard after making sure that no one noticed her—it was the house where the housekeeper Yu Fei'an lived.

In the past few days, Yu Fei'an has been handling affairs for Ye Chengyu in the study room, and he seldom returns to his room, so he is naturally not in the room at this time, and there are many poisonous substances in the courtyard where Yu Fei'an lives. Attack, so there are no patrol guards around.

The strange thing is that Xiao Zi went all the way into the courtyard, but no poisonous insects dared to approach her, and in the end she walked all the way to the depths safely.

A month ago, Xiao Zi fell into the hands of human traffickers, who forced her to eat terrible poison.

Those people told her that as long as she could survive the changes in her body, she would be invulnerable to all poisons, and then locked her in a place full of "monsters".

In a dark and damp room, she watched in horror that the bodies of "people" who were the same as her gradually appeared abnormal, until they completely turned into "monsters", knowing that one day, such changes It will also come to her, but she has no way to resist and escape, so she can only pray in her heart that she can become the "exception" in those people's mouth.

However, no matter how she prayed, her body still changed.

Seeing the terrible red spots appearing on her hands, she felt extremely terrified, and at last she developed a burst of courage for no reason, and knocked down the person who came to deliver food when she opened the door, and fled out of the dark room with all her strength. house.

But she just ran out of the house, and soon someone heard the movement and came to stop her. At that moment, a man appeared in front of her and helped her escape from that hellish place.

After fleeing that place, that person gave an antidote with a dark shell and a pungent smell, and then guided her in the direction, asking her to seek help from the twelve guards and the people in the carriage, and to find a way to stay with them. By his side, waiting for more instructions from him.

At first, Xiao Zi thought the poison had been cured, so she didn't take the other person's words to heart, but because of the uneasiness in her heart, she stayed according to the man's wishes.

It turned out afterwards that choosing to stay was the right decision.

On the day she arrived at Xunfeng Villa, the symptoms she thought had been cured reappeared again. At night, the person who had saved her appeared in her room and told her that the medicines could only relieve the symptoms temporarily. Only then did she realize that the man was just trying to use her to do things.

When that person learned that Ye Chengyu had left the villa again, he gave her a certain amount of antidote, and agreed with her on the way to meet later, saying that he would make a specific shape with dead branches in her room, and as long as she saw it, she would Come to this place to connect with him.

And just a few days ago, Xiao Zi finally finished taking the antidote, and Ye Chengyu finally returned to the villa. The man appeared again as promised, but he gave her a pair of medicine powder.

He asked her to add the medicine powder to Ye Chengyu's food, and only after completing what he told him, that person would continue to give her the antidote.

Xiao Zi was doing things in the kitchen, which was an easy task, but she didn't want to encounter Wen Rongchuan coming out to get in the way when she was preparing to prescribe the medicine the next day, and after that, all of Ye Chengyu's food fell into Wen Rongchuan's hands, In front of her, she couldn't find the slightest chance to prescribe the medicine.

Today, although Wen Rongchuan didn't show up, because the villa was broken into, Yu Fei'an brought a few people to check in person, which made it even more difficult for her to do anything.

Now the erythema on her body began to slowly appear again, and she was worried that if she continued like this, she would become a "monster" sooner or later. Fortunately, at this moment, the secret signal of that person finally appeared again.

At this time, Xiao Zi had come to a hidden corner in the courtyard, and there was already a person waiting for her here.

It was a man who looked about 30 years old, dressed in white, like a ghost, and looked even more eerie in this quiet night.

Xiao Zi walked forward slowly, and called out to the man in a low voice: "Benefactor."

Different from the previous times when we met, this time there was a faint smell of herbs on the man's body. Xiao Zi smelled this smell, and felt an inexplicable hotness on her body, and this hotness made her a little uneasy, but this time At that time, Xiao Zi was only thinking about getting the antidote, and didn't care about the abnormality of her body.

The man looked at her and asked coldly, "What about the confession to you?"

Xiao Zi was thinking about how to get around, but when she heard the man's question, she immediately changed her mind and said: "It's over! Of course it's over! I've already added the medicine to Master Ye's food, I believe he has already eaten it gone."

"is it?"

The visitor just looked at Xiao Zi indifferently, and under his gaze, Xiao Zi felt terrified, afraid that the visitor would discover her lie.

Fortunately, what she feared did not happen.

"well-done."

As the man said, he had already turned around, as if he was about to leave, Xiao Zi hurriedly said, "Grandfather! My antidote!"

Hearing this, the man said without turning his head: "I have nothing to give you here, if you want to be saved, go to Wen Rongchuan, his blood is your real antidote."

After all, the man walked away like this, Xiao Zi stood there in a daze, not expecting to get such an answer, but watching the figure of the man disappear in front of her eyes, it seemed that it was really over.

──Xiao Zi naturally wouldn't know that what that person gave her was a poison that could kill instantly, Xunfeng Villa has not had any trouble so far, how could Ye Chengyu have already taken the poison?

Xiao Zi just pretended that it was so easy, and she was overjoyed for a moment, and quickly covered her mouth, fearing that the excitement in her heart would accidentally leak out.

But her happiness didn't last long, because she soon saw her hands.

There were already patches of red spots on the back of her hands, and she knew that within a moment, she would soon turn into the kind of "monster" she had seen.

Wen Rongchuan, that person asked her to find Wen Rongchuan!

That's right, Wen Rongchuan also had the antidote in his hands. She saw it with her own eyes when she was at the Xiucheng Inn, and it was almost the same as the one that the man gave her. It is indeed the antidote!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zi almost couldn't wait, and immediately ran towards Wen Rongchuan's bedroom.

It's very late now, Wen Rongchuan may have fallen asleep, but Xiaozi can't wait any longer, her body feels hot and dry, Xiaozi's consciousness gradually begins to be a little confused, there is a faint strangeness on her arm, Xiaozi is almost Subconsciously looking over, he saw pus cells that began to emerge rapidly on his arm.

Xiao Zi's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, trying to prevent herself from yelling, but this covering made her even more shocked to find that her face had changed, where her hands touched, even A lot of pus has flowed down.

Impossible, impossible so fast!

She immediately ran towards her destination. When she entered the main courtyard, the guards patrolling the courtyard immediately stopped her when they saw Xiaozi, but Xiaozi didn't stop, just continued to run forward. .

The guards immediately stepped forward to stop her, Xiao Zi was full of anxiety, when she was stopped, she could only stare viciously at the guards who blocked her, and several guards showed horrified expressions when they saw her face.

Xiao Zi was startled, and immediately covered her face, but a guard who couldn't hold back had already shouted out in horror: "It's... a monster!"

Several guards who reacted quickly had already pulled out their weapons and swung at Xiao Zi, but their attacks were all in vain because Wen Rongchuan suddenly appeared and pulled Xiao Zi away.

Wen Rongchuan stayed by Ye Chengyu's side for an afternoon, until Ye Chengyu saw that it was too late, and finally drove him back to rest on the grounds of recuperating.

He had just come out of Ye Chengyu's study and was about to go back to his room when he saw Xiao Zi running into the courtyard in panic covering his face. He was about to ask about the situation, but the guards shouted and attacked in terror.

Wen Rongchuan didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried forward and pulled the person away, and the moment he rescued Xiao Zi, he also saw clearly Xiao Zi's hand covering her face, and part of her cheek exposed through the thin slits between her fingertips.

Xiao Zi saw the person who saved her, and immediately grabbed Wen Rongchuan's shoulder and cried, "The antidote! I'll save you! Give me the antidote! I don't want to become a monster!"
