【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

The five members of Yuan Zhongxin and Lu Guannian endured great sorrow, arranged the remains of the eleven students one by one, and carried them to the back mountain of the secret pavilion, but did not bury them privately-this kind of thing should be left to others. The family is done, they have no right to decide.

In desperation, they had to find wide bamboo mats everywhere and cover them.

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were cold, and he fixedly looked at his classmate who had been sleeping forever, with deep pain flashing across his eyes, he clenched his fists desperately, and opened his mouth dumbly: "I will, I will avenge you!"

Zhao Jian really couldn't bear to look at it, turned her back, and wiped her tears silently, the overwhelming sorrow made her tremble all over, and she wiped more and more tears, as if she couldn't finish it.

Wei Yanei gently embraced Zhao Jian's shoulders, crying, "It's okay, they are relieved, and they don't have to suffer anymore..."

Zhao Jian turned a deaf ear to it, and rested her head weakly on Wei Yanei's shoulder. With support, she could no longer restrain the despair in her heart, sobbing bitterly, sobbing uncontrollably, she choked up and sobbed helplessly: "Why, why are you doing this... ...how old are they, what did they do wrong...why!"

Hearing Zhao Jian's despairing questioning, Yuan Zhongxin's eyes instantly warmed up. He walked slowly behind Zhao Jian, stretched his arms, and gently hugged the two of them. Wang Kuan and Xue Ying also came up, surrounded by five people. Hugged together.

The world is so cold and dark, but they are the only ones who are bright and warm.

Lonely and helpless, they were crushed by the reality, and they could only absorb the slightest, coldest hope by embracing each other tightly.

Lu Guannian looked at the five people gathered together from a distance, with both helplessness and relief in his eyes, he sighed long and short, and raised his hand to wipe away a tear hanging from the corner of his eye.

The road ahead is long and dangerous, but at the very least, they know how to treat each other with sincerity and not give up on each other easily-this is more important than any strong armor.

Back at Qizhai, it was dark and the corpse was gone, but the strong smell of blood still lingered in the backyard, causing everyone to feel sick.

Yuan Zhongxin especially didn't like the smell of blood, his face gradually turned pale, and his stomach and belly were churning.

Lu Guannian originally suggested that the five of them go to his study to rest for a while, but the five declined. Qizhai is their home, and now, only Qizhai can make them feel at ease.

Yuan Zhongxin's five people settled the unconscious Lin Liang, and hurried to the rockery in the backyard. Just now they were concerned about what happened in the secret pavilion, but they ignored the existence of half a cat and two.

It stands to reason that the smell of blood in the backyard is so heavy, and they are wolves in nature, so the reaction to this should not be so calm - the only explanation is that the two of them also had an accident.

When the five people saw the half-hearted lying unconscious on the ground, their hearts suddenly sank to the ice cellar, and they felt dizzy.

But after Wang Kuan checked, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with relief: "It was a false alarm, I just fainted."

Wei Yanei fell heavily to the ground, pressing his hand on his heart involuntarily, feeling his rapid heartbeat under his palm, he touched his half-baked and thick head, and asked worriedly: "When will the two of them wake up?"

Wang Kuan shook his head: "Humans and dogs have different physiques. I really can't explain that."

Zhao Jian stared at the sleepy half-bad for a long time, and hesitated to say: "Lin Youlian can be such a ruthless killer on people, how could he let go of the half-baby? It stands to reason that if the half-baby senses that the person who comes is not good, he will definitely not surrender easily. she."

Lin Yao is bloodthirsty and loves to kill. With her extreme and distorted personality, she is especially obsessed with the pleasure of life passing away in her palm, moaning in pain. She is so energetic and unwilling to bow her head to recognize the target at will, but she just let it go.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Xue Ying frowned tightly, and said uncomfortably, "Couldn't you also be hit by half your life?"

Hearing this, Wei Yanei's face turned pale several times in an instant.

Yuan Zhongxin shook his head slowly: "Probably not. As far as I know, Half Life and Death only has a poisonous effect on humans, and it won't have any effect when put into other living things. Lin Yao will not do such useless work."

The five people sat together around half a catty, even though they were physically and mentally exhausted, they still didn't feel sleepy at all. While waiting for half a catty to wake up, they looked dignified, discussing future matters.

Yuan Zhongxin frowned, and said thoughtfully: "We are not completely without backup. I found that in the secret pavilion, the wooden steward disappeared. He most likely ran out to find Liang Zhu."

Wang Kuan pondered for a moment: "Chen Mingyuan went to the Forbidden Army camp to ask for help, but was sent back the next day, which means that Liang Zhu is not in the Forbidden Army camp. Chang Yi is most likely stationed in the camp now."

Zhao Jian didn't forget all the evil deeds Chang Yi had done before, she gritted her teeth secretly, and said under suppressed anger: "It's not possible, it's simply that Chang Yi is stationed in the camp, he has already colluded with Lin Yao, Chen Mingyuan asked the imperial army for help, It's simply sending you to death!"

I don't know how desperate Chen Mingyuan must have been at the beginning. He finally escaped from the magic cave, thinking that he had found someone who could save his life, but he was betrayed in a blink of an eye and sent back to Lin Yao.

Xue Ying was puzzled: "But even if the steward finds Liang Zhu, so what, even Mr. Wei and the others can't intervene. Liang Zhu is only the head of the imperial army. It seems that he can do no more than us."

Yuan Zhong's eyes were deep, he stared at a certain place for a long time, and suddenly said: "Liang Zhu can make a big fuss."

Under the pressure of Lin Yao, Chang Yi and others, no one knows what happened in the Secret Pavilion, and Kaifeng is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. In fact, what restricts Yuan Zhongxin's hands and feet the most is the current state of affairs, which is too quiet. Well, even if he wanted to implement the plan, he had to create some noise to deceive people.

And Liang Zhu happened to be the best candidate to disturb the stagnant water.He commanded 80 imperial troops behind him, and he dared to confront Chang Yi head-on. He was unselfish and impartial, and his stubbornness of being ruthless and only serious when dealing with official affairs gave the emperor a headache.

If Liang Zhu knew everything that happened in the secret pavilion, he would definitely beat the gongs and drums and make a noise, wishing that everyone would know the true colors of Lin Yao, Chang Yi and others.

At that time, Lin Yao is bound to be impatient, as long as Yuan Zhongxin hits a little, his plan will be implemented as he wishes.

Wei Yanei frowned, and glanced at Yuan Zhongxin who was thinking beside him: "So, we really can only wait now?"

Yuan Zhongxin understood the meaning of Wei Yanei's words, he nodded very slowly and lightly: "Yes, we can only wait."

Zhao Jian showed hesitation, hesitated to speak.

Yuan Zhongxin guessed some of Zhao Jian's intentions: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jian pursed his lips, and said with difficulty: "What should I do if I am half dead?"

As soon as these words came out, the depression quickly enveloped them, as if covering the sky and covering the sun, they were so oppressed that they couldn't breathe.

Half life and death, now, not only Yuan Zhongxin was poisoned by the poison, but more than a hundred people in the secret pavilion were also poisoned, and the situation seemed to be more serious than Yuan Zhongxin, and they all entered the period of poisoning. It is not a long-term solution to relieve poisonous hair by sealing acupuncture points, and if this method is used too much, it will cause great harm to the human body, and it is extremely easy to leave hidden dangers.

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were extremely dark, and his eyes were complicated. He rubbed the center of his brows, and said after a while: "I won't let them have trouble, half-life and death will definitely solve it, but not now—but don't tell me about it yet." Other students in the Secret Pavilion."

Wei Yanei frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Why?"

Yuan Zhongxin's expression was gloomy: "The more people who know, the easier it is to reveal flaws——Lin Yao claims to be smart, but she doesn't know anything about my cards. If she knows that I have hidden tricks, the consequences will be disastrous."

After a stick of incense, half a catty unexpectedly woke up.

When they opened their eyes and saw someone they were familiar with, they immediately rushed over, excited, wagging their tails and whimpering, both aggrieved and excited, their big furry heads kept thrusting into the mouths of the five people. Going forward, suddenly, with their extremely sensitive sense of smell, they smelled a bloody smell floating in the air, immediately grinned, scanned their surroundings vigilantly, and let out low growls of warning from time to time.

Looking at the lively half-baked, although the haze in the heart is still there, at the very least, there is a slight inaudible long-lost smile on the faces of the five people.

In the dark night, Yuan Zhongxin sat blankly on the familiar bed, his eyes were loose and unfocused.

They left the Secret Pavilion for almost a month, and when they came back, everything changed, and nothing changed.

Wang Kuan clenched his fists, turned around and poured a cup of hot tea, walked gently to Yuan Zhongxin's side, and put the warm teacup into Ye Yuan Zhongxin's hands.

Yuan Zhongxin came back to his senses, he pursed his lips and smiled slightly, looked down at the sparse leaves floating in the teacup, and suddenly said, "Wang Kuan, did you really like me a long time ago?"

Wang Kuan's mind tightened slightly, and he sat down next to Yuan Zhongxin, his eyes were as gentle as water, and his expression was slightly dazed, as if he was recalling something: "It should be, but I didn't know anything at that time."

Yuan Zhongxin glanced at him with a half-smile, implying: "You know how to keep me first—to be honest, who taught you?"

Wang Kuan smiled lightly, looked sideways at Yuan Zhongxin: "You taught me."

Yuan Zhongxin widened his eyes slightly in surprise: "When did I teach you this?"

"When you gamble, you said that gambling is nothing more than trying to win something you like by chance. I can't say whether I won or not, but at least I bet right."

Yuan Zhongxin squinted his eyes, and said angrily: "Don't learn from the good ones, just pick the bad ones."

Wang Kuan hugged Yuan Zhongxin in his arms sideways, his love for Yuan Zhongxin was lingering deep in his bones, not to mention learning bad things, even if he learned all the worst things in the world, he would be willing.

Yuan Zhongxin held the teacup in his hand, and there was a rare warmth in his palm. He snuggled into Wang Kuan's arms obediently, and slowly closed his eyes as he gradually became sleepy.

bang bang!

The teacup fell to the ground, and the sound of shattering was particularly piercing in the silence and darkness, which shocked Wang Kuan. He was about to lower his head to ask for clarification, but Yuan Zhongxin broke free from his embrace and staggered to Wang Kuan. Kuan dragged out of the house, turned around and closed the door tightly.

Before Wang Kuan could react, Yuan Zhongxin had already shut him out of the house. Wang Kuan's mind was broken. He slammed on the door and roared frantically, "Yuan Zhongxin! Yuan Zhongxin!"

Yuan Zhongxin's trembling voice was erratic: "Wang Kuan, I'm fine, I'm really... fine, just don't come in, okay?"

Wang Kuan's sanity faded rapidly, his eyes were tearing apart, and his eyes were bloodshot: "No! Yuan Zhongxin, please open the door first, please, don't do this! I beg you, please don't!"

Wang Kuan's breathing was stagnant, followed by even more hysterical begging and knocking on the door.

He just heard Yuan Zhongxin vomiting blood!

Zhao Jian and the others were startled by Wang Kuan's huge movement. As soon as they ran out of the dormitory, they saw Wang Kuan frightened out of his wits and shouted hoarsely, "Yuan Zhongxin! Open the door! Open the door quickly! Are you poisoned! I beg you!" , please! Open the door!"

Zhao Jian and the three looked at each other, and immediately guessed a few points, and stepped forward to persuade Wang Kuan, who was almost demented and ran away: "Wang Kuan, calm down! Listen to what Yuan Zhongxin has to say first!"

Yuan Zhongxin struggled against the swaying wooden door, gasping for breath, his voice was extremely soft, but firm and stubborn: "No, Wang Kuan, don't come in... Wang Kuan, calm down, listen to me first!"

Wang Kuan was extremely frightened and restless, all his consciousness was supported by Yuan Zhongxin's voice.

Yuan Zhongxin swallowed back the blood in his throat, and there were bursts of colic in his heart, which not only made his eyes dark, but also made him sober, he said with a trembling voice: "Wang Kuan, I'm fine, I'm really fine."

Wang Kuan pressed his forehead against the wooden door, begging desperately: "Since you are fine, can you let me in, please, let me in to accompany you..."

Yuan Zhongxin shook his head subconsciously, angrily: "No, I don't want you to see me now..."

I don't want you to watch me get poisoned and can't do anything.

Yuan Zhongxin understood the pain of powerlessness very well. When Wang Kuan disappeared before his eyes, he had a very deep and painful experience.

He didn't want Wang Kuan to experience this kind of thing again, that deep sense of powerlessness, if Wang Kuan could experience it one less time, let it be one less time.
