I heard that warm water can boil frogs

Chapter 5 Countdown to the Martial Arts Conference

Wenchu ​​has been thinking about covering his face for several days. The most direct way to cover his face is undoubtedly to wear a mask or cover his face.

But I don't know if it's a psychological problem, and I always feel that this method is more likely to be suspected.

I can't help but look at things that I can't see. Once I get into it, I will do things that I can't control.

That's how curiosity killed the cat.That's how curiosity killed him, Wen Chu.At the very beginning, he was inexplicably curious and interested in Li Yuandao...

Standing up lightly, someone grabbed his sleeve before his feet left the ground.

"Where are you going?"

Shujianzhu's clear and clear voice is a bit hoarse on weekdays, as if he just woke up from sleep.

"Toilet..." Wen Chu supported his waist with one hand and bent over, as if he really had a stomachache.

"You lied to me."

The young man tugged at his sleeve, Wen Chu turned around and saw his black shiny eyes, and stroked his head: "Go to sleep, I'm really going to the toilet."

"You let me go to bed early every day these days, and then sneak away when I fall asleep."

"..."

Although he was discovered, there was no embarrassment on Wen Chu's face.

He began to think about what he was going to do, he wanted to find out the cause of his death, since he took Ling Qingchen's body, is Ling Qingchen still alive?

He really wanted to stay away from Li Yuan, but he had to get closer to get some news.

The little martial uncle in front of him has just entered the martial arts world.Simple and harmless, generous and enthusiastic to him, he is very grateful.

What to do now is unknown and dangerous, so it's better not to get involved with him.

"Recently, yin deficiency and fire are flourishing, and yin and yang need to be reconciled."

The voice is clear and smooth, and the words spoken are straightforward, with a teasing smile on his face.

Shujianzhu finally loosened his sleeves, his face became hot, every time he talked about such things of looking for flowers and willows without embarrassment, he really admired it.

Wen Chu sat on the edge of the bed to put on his clothes, saw that he was still half-sitting and staring at him, and couldn't help joking: "Did you grow up so old that you haven't experienced the harmony of yin and yang, do you want to go together?"

"Don't go!"

Shujianzhu's face turned redder in the dark night, and he turned over while clutching the quilt, leaving him with his back.

The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he felt ashamed when he did so, thinking that he had already visited all the Qinlou and Chu halls when he was this old, and those who should be teased should eat tofu.

But in comparison, he still thinks the character of Shujianzhu is cuter.

Wen Chu chuckled, no wonder he wasn't liked, probably his lack of shame was his blemish.Think about what he has done—appealing in public on the street, stealing Li Yuandao tofu at the door of his house, and... teasing him from time to time...

Wen Chu rode a horse to Mount Mang in the outskirts. During the day, he worked in the clinic to collect medicines, and at night, he had to go deep into the mountains to collect medicines.Life was really not going well, I sighed in my mouth, my eyes were not idle, and I kept looking around.

Filament is a rare medicinal material, and as the name suggests, the leaves glow like candles at night. They grow in deep mountains and old forests, and most of them no one dares to pick them.

There are still advantages to working in a medical center, for example, he can borrow a wide variety of medical books, and for example, he can take some medicinal materials so that they will not be discovered...

That's the only thing missing. Wen Chu searched for it for several days.The whole mountain is roughly divided into eight parts, leaving only three parts on the north-facing shady slope.

I didn't dare to light the fire bag in my hand, and the wind on the north slope was strong. If I accidentally let it go, I would be caught by the government, and I would have to go further afield to find medicinal materials.

Accompanied by the chirping of insects in the forest, he was not so scared, Wen Chu searched carefully one by one.

"Filament, filament, don't let me wait to die." There are only five days until the martial arts conference, so I have to be anxious, now there is only such a grand opportunity to get close to Li Yuandao.

He was tempting someone at the risk of disfigurement, although it wasn't Wen Chu himself who ruined...

The wind screamed, and the face was cold and more awake.

There are more and more fireflies twinkling and twinkling, and the leaves are denser than in Wuyangpo, which is relatively easier to find here.Wen Chu followed the dots of light to the mountain stream.

The junction of the mountain stream and the hillside is full of fireflies flying, and the yellow light in the green light is immediately caught.There are silk stamens between the leaves, and the leaves are very thin and shimmering yellow.

Wen Chu twitched the corners of his mouth in relief, and finally found it.

"So it's here, it's easy for me to find." The tone was pleasantly surprised.

Wrapped in cloth and smelled it, it really has a bitter taste.However, he had already prepared for it, and he had smoked a lot of Lan Ze's fragrance in the medical hall these few days.

Even so, it might not be possible to hide it from Shu Jianzhu, after all, he does not know how advanced his medical skills are.

Taking advantage of the lack of people at noon, Wen Chu quietly went to the backyard to make medicine.

Sitting under the shade of a tree, the fan in my hand fanned from time to time.Yesterday I searched for most of the night without closing my eyes, just as the breeze was blowing, I was drowsy.

The young man took light steps, for fear of waking up Wen Chu.

The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the young man frowned: "Qiu Mingzi, Ye Kui, Wucao, Donghe... and a filament..." These are boiled together to make a juice, mixed with cornstarch to make a plaster, and put on if……

In less than an hour, the skin will immediately have large dark spots!And it's hard to get rid of it, just like a natural birthmark.

Do this for self-defense?

Shu Jianzhu stared at Wen Chu's sleeping face suspiciously, he wouldn't use it on others so boringly.

If it is used by oneself, other parts are fine. Wouldn't it be equivalent to self-mutilation if used on the face?

No, no matter what, you have to stop him!

Shujian touched the skirt of his clothes, and when he came out, he didn't bring anything...

Then destroy the medicine and stuff a few twigs.Gently pulled out the fan in Wen Chu's hand, wanting to take the opportunity to boil away the medicine.

"You!" Wen Chu woke up startled, grabbed the fan, and stared at the book and candle with sharp eyes.

"I'm just fanning the flames for you..." Shu Jianzhu muttered softly, his face flushed, he was actually very good at lying, this was the first time.

Wen Chu's heart became clear, he knew what kind of medicine it was, that's why he made such a move.

"I'll do it myself."

"Oh."

Shujianzhu was unhappy, sitting under the shade of a tree, watching Wen Chu's action of fanning the flames and thinking: Should I ask him who used this medicine?Maybe I can help myself.

"Brother Wen, are you using this medicine yourself?"

"Ah."

"This medicine will disfigure the face!" Shujianzhu said anxiously.

"I know." Wen Chu had a cynical smile on his face: "Master, this face has bewitched a lot of idiotic men and women, men and women take it all! In order to save more ignorant boys and girls, I have no choice but to give up my ego for righteousness. "

With such righteous words, boasting in his words, he said bitterly: "Then it's better to be a monk and become a monk. It's all over!"

Wen Chu shook his head and said: "Although I want to give up my ego, I still want to marry a wife and have children for future generations. Wouldn't it be worthy of my ancestors to become a monk?"

This time Shu Jianzhu was speechless, but what was in his mind was: Will someone like this appearance?

"In this world, there must be people who are not so superficial."

As if seeing through his thoughts, Shujianzhu boldly agreed to look at him: "No matter how good your character is, it's always a pity to have a bad appearance."

Indeed, everyone in the world wants to be perfect.

"You also know that there are all kinds of martial arts conferences, and I am outstanding in appearance, and both men and women can take advantage of it... just in case..." Wen Chu paused as he spoke, looking at the book and cutting candles, pretending to be embarrassed.

"It's true. Brother Wen, you really have a gentle temperament and a good personality."

"Then you agreed to live with me because I was good-looking?"

The boy's face turned hot, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a muffled voice, "I just think that such a person should be easy to get along with..."

Wen Chu laughed, raised his brows lightly, and thought with disdain: I feel more romantic and suave than Ling Qingchen, why does Li Yuandao look down on me?

Holding the box of plaster in his hand, he couldn't help being excited.

As soon as the book, scissors and candles entered the door, he took out his package, and the purple embroidered bag fell on the bed, making a dull sound mixed with the clinking of bottles and cans.

"These are the things I usually specialize in researching, and they are not available for sale on the market!"

Wen Chu looked at him presenting treasures, and couldn't help being amused. The small bottles and jars in the bag rolled down on the bed, they were all purple, and he didn't know how he could tell them apart.

"I will mark the bottom of each bottle, but only the number." The book clipper held a few between his fingers and showed him.

It seems to be quite witty, even if it is stolen, it will not be useful.Wen Chu took the medicine bottle and sniffed it a few times.

Shujianzhu picked one of them and stuffed it into his hand: "This has the same effect as your ointment. The red sand I use will produce deep red spots. And it's a pill for internal use. After swallowing it, within ten days It won't subside, and ordinary doctors probably won't be able to find out why."

"There are three pills in total, one month. This medicine is poisonous, so it's not a serious problem, but it may make you weak after taking it..."

"How about trying the effect?"

Shujianzhu took the ointment that Wenchu ​​just heard and threw it in the package together, and packed it up.But I was still worried about whether Wen Chu would take it out and use it, so I put it away by the way.

"Alright."

"One stick of incense time is enough."

"Ah."

"How do you scare people like this?"

Shu Jianzhu followed Wen Chu to the street, Wen Chu already had spots all over his body, and the medicine on his face was more severe, covering almost half of his face from his forehead.Although it was night, it looked very clear and ugly, like a birthmark.

Wen Chu doesn't care what to do if it scares others, as long as it is astonishingly ugly, that's what it wants!

Generally, people tend to look down on ugly things, so that's good.

"It doesn't matter, let's go to the Zhuangzi where the martial arts conference is held, and have a look, so that we can try the effect!"

Regardless of the books and candles, he strode towards Qixian Villa.

"I really think it's quite scary..." Shu Jianzhu was still muttering behind him.

"..."

The corner of Wen Chu's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to speak.In the bottom of my heart, I secretly thought, if I put on the ointment, would the book and candle be so disgusting that I would no longer follow me?

Immediately felt a bit regretful, it would be better to apply the ointment, after all, it was the result of my own hard work for a few days, and it was just in vain...

The big bronzing characters appeared in front of my eyes, still the familiar Wenfeng.There are two servants guarding the door, do you need an invitation to enter?

Wen Chu came here this time to see if Li Yuandao still recognizes himself like this, if he recognizes him, he will have to rethink the way to deal with it, if he doesn't recognize him, he will bear this appearance.

"Are you going to ask if you're allowed in?" Wen Chu poked Shu Jianzhu's shoulder, signaling him to come forward.

Shujianzhu stepped forward in response, and asked obediently: "Brother, can you let us go in and have a look?"

The man glanced at Wen Chu, and the look of disgust in his eyes made him very satisfied, and then he looked at the book and candle, a little impatient: "Do you think anyone can enter here? Hurry up and leave!"

"Why not let in, isn't it the 'Qi Xian' villa? Not all sages can enter?" Shujianzhu asked him unconvinced.

Wen Chu looked at them silently, the young man with books and candles had the same heart and mind, and he might still be able to confront each other for a while...

"Hey... You man, I said you can't, you can't!"

"You guys are just bullying others. You're just a leader of the martial arts world. What's the air? You people who watch the door will borrow a bit of flair!"

Unexpectedly, the little white rabbit would bite people when he was in a hurry, Wen Chu couldn't help laughing as he stood not far away.

"You fucking..." The man clenched his fists, trying to frighten Shujianzhu.

Shujianzhu took a small packet of powder at some point, Wen Chu hurried forward and pulled him behind him.

"What is this doing!"

A sharp sound sounded behind them, with a deep and majestic voice, and the servant hurriedly begged for mercy.

Wen Chu's back stiffened, it was better to come by coincidence than to come here, and it was spared to go in.

Pulling the book, cutting the candle and bowing his body, he said: "I have met Li Mengzhu." He deliberately suppressed his voice, and his voice was low and rough.

Shujianzhu's eyes were slightly red. When he saw this man, he thought of Wen Chu, who had died. If Wen Chu hadn't tightly grasped his wrist, he really wanted to step up and give him this and that. He was so poisonous. The seven orifices bleed.

"There's no need to be too polite." Li Yuandao moved closer to them.

Wen Chu firmly held the hand under his sleeve, and looked up at Li Yuandao.

Three steps away, very close.Looking at his still calm face, the breath on his body was as cold as usual.

I can't help but feel that there has always been a distance between them. In the past, I especially liked to pull his sleeves, and it even became his habitual little gesture, but why do I feel that the two have no quarrel?

Li Yuandao was also looking at him, and it took him a long time to turn his gaze over Shujianzhu.

"You two, please follow me in."

Li Yuandao and the others nodded, showing good manners.Then he said coldly to the family: "Go to the housekeeper to get a monthly salary!"

"No, take your leave." After saying that, he pulled out the book, cut the candle and left.

Li Yuandao looked at their figures who left side by side, his brows were tightly frowned, he stood in the same place without saying a word, the hand at his side firmly grasped the spring, his eyes

I can't tell what's in my heart, and there is a wry smile on the corner of my mouth.I always feel that everything is under my control, but in fact I can't control it at all...
