India

Then came the sad misfortune.After all, their bodies couldn't bear the tossing one after another, and they were overwhelmed by the wind and cold, and both fell ill on the couch.

This lie down lasted for several days, and the important clues that were finally obtained could only be temporarily put aside, after all, a sound body was more important than looking for the broken snake.

Although the two were coughing heavily on the bed, they still did not forget to scold each other a few words.

"Cough, cough, cough!..." Mo Nan coughed violently again, "Help, help me up...cough...you...you can still..."

He struggled to get up, but unexpectedly inhaled the cooler air outside, his throat became more and more uncomfortable, so he had to crawl back into bed coughing non-stop.

"Just like you...you still want to go out..." Ji Guiran mocked, pulled the quilt over his mouth, and coughed a few times uncontrollably.

"Cough... You are not the same... What qualifications do you have... cough cough!"

"The wounded...cough...shut up..."

"I don't, don't cough..."

"Why, you have the ability...stop now...cough cough..."

"Heh...I can't...cough...I can't stop...and say...cough cough cough..."

There was a knock on the door, and the people outside had already endured the humiliation for a long time: "Enough! Are these two idiots and patients going to finish?! Knowing that you are in a good relationship! Be quiet!!"

After the two fell ill, the only healthy Ji Tianze in the room was affected.After a few days, aside from the daily serving of tea and water, he had to go to the medical clinic to ask the doctor to see a doctor and pick up the medicine. After taking the medicine, he had to suffer by himself, which made Ji Tianze, who didn't know how to make medicine, learn it abruptly.

After the end, you have to take it over and offer it to them like offering to a big Buddha.For example, at this moment, Ji Tianze carefully held two bowls of hot medicinal soup and brought them to the bedside of the two.

"Today's amount, I'll take it to the kitchen after I drink it." He distributed bowls to each of them, then pinched his nose in disgust, "I can't take it...the smell of Chinese medicine is so fucking bad...I'll go and remove the pot first." After washing, remember to send the bowl back."

When he walked out the door, he did not forget to say a few words: "No fights! If you spill what I have worked so hard for, you will be stabbed to death."

Then he walked out of the door, and immediately turned his head to poke in again, and said suspiciously: "Hey, do you hear that, you guys!"

"Understood." The two replied weakly, feeling that Ji Tianze was very nagging.

"Good." He was satisfied and left.

Mo Nan looked at the dark liquid in the bowl in pain. The strong medicinal smell seemed to be stronger than yesterday, and it rushed straight into his nasal cavity, making him sick. Just thinking about it made him feel bitter on his tongue.

While blowing away the heat of the soup, he was confused about how to drink it, and by the way, he aimed at Ji Guiran.

I saw Ji Guiran facing the bowl of soup with a blank face, calmly blowing away the moisture on the soup, and when the heat was almost gone, he brought it to his mouth and drank it without hesitation.

Mo Nan looked at his unchanging face in astonishment, as if he was drinking plain water, and thought to himself, the taste of this medicine might not be so unacceptable.So he hesitated, and then carefully took a small sip from the edge of the bowl, and the bitterness instantly filled his entire mouth.

Went to his! !It's clearly undrinkable to death! !He really wanted to get the taste out of his mouth, and then throw the bowl of medicine away.But he remembered Ji Tianze's warning before he left, so he had no choice but to give up this desire, so he could only stare at Ji Guiran angrily.

"Huh?" After Ji Guiran drank the soup down to the last drop, he felt Mo Nan's gaze, and looked over suspiciously, only to see that the bowl in the man's hand was still full, as if it hadn't been touched.He couldn't help asking: "Why don't you drink?"

"I'm... ahem, waiting for it to cool..."

Ji Guiran covered the wall of the bowl with the back of his hand, he didn't feel how hot it was, but it would get cold if he didn't drink it any more, he reminded: "It's fine."

"I like it cold!"

"..."

Of course Ji Guiran didn't believe this kind of rhetoric, and then said maliciously: "Are you afraid of suffering?"

"..."

Seeing Mo Nan's silence, Ji Guiran confirmed this guess even more.He teased: "How old is Young Master Mo? I'm afraid of this and that, but I'm still afraid of suffering. It's a joke to be alive."

"You talk a lot, shut up." Mo Nan, who was seen through, put down the bowl angrily, "Don't drink."

"If you want to cough to death, I will not stop you."

"Then don't stop me." Mo Nan followed the words, put the bowl aside, turned over and got into bed.

Ji Guiran was silent. He looked at the bowl of medicinal soup that was about to cool down, and heard Mo Nan coughing violently with his back turned to him. After narrowing his eyes and thinking for a while, he reached out to take the soup bowl with his other hand. Turned Mo Nan over directly.

"What are you doing?" Mo Nan, who was suddenly changed, looked at him puzzled.

Ji Guiran handed over the bowl and ordered, "Drink."

"Huh? Are you sick? Just now I said I won't stop me." Mo Nan propped up his upper body, but didn't take the things he handed over.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the Mo family when I go back with the corpse on my back."

"Master Lao Ji is really bothering, don't worry, I won't die! Go, go, take it away...cough coughcough..." He raised his hand as a gesture of repelling.

Ji Guiran didn't take back the bowl as he said, but passed it forward again, not to be disobeyed: "Stop talking nonsense, give me a drink."

"What are you doing?" Mo Nan pushed him impatiently, "I said no, don't you understand people's language?"

Unmoved, Ji Guiran continued to threaten him: "Do you drink it yourself or should I drink it for you?"

"No!" Mo Nan just didn't give in, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Guiran, "I think you want to find fault again! Besides... cough cough... it doesn't matter to you whether I drink or not? Why? Do you feel sorry for me? Can't bear it I am sick?"

"..." Ji Guiran's eyes darkened.

"Hehe..." Seeing him like that, Mo Nan became even more excited, "Where did the sun come out today? Or is the smoke rising from my ancestral grave? I am so flattered, I will plant a few incense sticks to worship the following ancestors when I go back Zong, thank their spirits in heaven for blessing me with such extraordinary treatment, amen."

Ji Guiran was too lazy to talk to him, and raised his hand to put the rim of the bowl on his mouth, but the latter stopped him in fright.

"Don't! Wait a minute! Don't do it at the slightest disagreement! Discuss it carefully if you have something to say! Cough cough cough..." He turned his head quickly, thinking of how to restrain this unreasonable person.

After thinking about it, there is only shamelessness.He sighed helplessly in his heart, but smiled cheaply on his face, teasing in his mouth: "Oh, just drink it, why worry? But there is one condition..."

Ji Guiran looked at Mo Nan silently, his past experience told him that the following would not be a good word.

Sure enough, he heard Mo Nan whispering in his ear: "...Feed me with your mouth and I'll drink it, how about it?"

Ji Guiran sneered in his heart.

Mo Nan thought that he was teasing like this, and with Ji Guiran's temper, he would definitely get angry and ignore it, and he could also take the opportunity to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

When he saw the bowl in front of him withdrawn, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he looked up, he saw Ji Guiran took a sip from the rim of the bowl, and leaned over in the next second.

"?!" His eyes widened, and his mind was full of doubts.

Something is wrong with this guy, something is wrong these days!Quite wrong!

It is impossible not to resist, Mo Nan has no chance of winning in terms of strength, but fortunately, he snatched the soup bowl from Ji Guiran's hand quickly, regardless of whether it was bitter or not, he leaned back and poured it into his mouth, swallowing hastily with those bitter liquids.

"Ahem..." This time it was a choked cough, he twisted the expression on his face, and showed the clean bowl in his hand to Ji Guiran, "Drink it!!! Don't come here!! "

Ji Guiran turned a deaf ear to him, and as if he hadn't seen anything, he directly turned his face to kiss him.

Mo Nan cursed the insidious villain in his heart, and after resisting to no avail, he simply gave up struggling and closed his eyes not to look at his face.

Seeing that the people under him were being honest, and Ji Guiran had had enough, he wanted to let it go, but he saw Mo Nan below him with his eyes closed tightly, as if he was resigned, and even parted his lips slightly, as if waiting for something It's like being poured into it.

Ji Guiran only felt his heart being scratched by something, and then he...

He just swallowed the medicine in his mouth.

Mo Nan waited for a long time without realizing that he was touching his lips, and then he reacted, opened his eyes and glared: "...Okay, how dare you play me?!"

"Why don't you dare?" Ji Guiran sneered.

"You still have no face!"

"It's you who are shameless first."

"I...you...cough cough cough!..." Mo Nan's lungs were about to explode, coupled with the discomfort in his throat, he couldn't help coughing violently, this time it was even worse, he felt that what he coughed up was from his stomach The strong smell of medicine can't help frowning.

Seeing him in such a miserable state, Ji Guiran couldn't be more sarcastic, more quarrels would be better than less quarrels, so he stopped talking to him.

It just so happened that Mo Nan thought so too, he felt that arguing with Ji Guiran would only make him more angry, especially in this coughing state, it would be more comfortable to simply ignore it.

Everything fell silent, and the two ignored each other for a long time.

Mo Nan gradually let go of his pent-up anger, and picked up memories from a few days ago along the way.He still remembered that before he fell ill, he learned the secrets in the study in this house, the iron door that led to nowhere, and the seal snake that might enter the door.

What is the connection between the seal snake and the iron gate?How does it relate to Ji Tianze?Who is Ji Tianze connected with?

The more problems he thought about, the more he thought about them, and the more he thought about them, the more difficult they were to understand. Mo Nan stopped thinking about them. Fortunately, the effect of the traditional Chinese medicine improved, and his symptoms improved a lot. My head doesn't hurt too much after exhausting my brain.

He didn't know much about many things, so he considered whether he should go to the study to investigate again.

His body moved faster than his mind, he got out of bed involuntarily and wanted to go out, but unexpectedly he just stood up, and sat back on the bed the next moment.

foot pain.He twitched his lips.

"...Hey," he had no choice but to lower his face, and said to Ji Guiran, "Get up."

"Do what?"

"Help me."

Ji Guiran listened to his confident order and said without thinking, "No help."

"Do you want to help?"

"No help."

"Give you another chance."

"No help."

"..." Mo Nan gritted his teeth, feeling that his anger had finally dissipated and he came back more and more. He barely tolerated it and added, "Do business."

"Go by yourself." Ji Guiran calmly refused.

Mo Nan said he was very angry, quite angry, very angry again.Just when he was about to fight Ji Guiran with all his strength, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

"Are you all ready? I didn't see you after I washed the pot..." Ji Tianze complained and stepped into the room. When he saw Mo Nan's hair standing on end, he was startled, "Amo, you... Did you go to the village to have your hair cut and blown?"

"I want to go to the village to kill people." Mo Nan said bitterly.

"what?"

"It's okay..." He swallowed his breath, and waved to Ji Tianze, "Tianze, you came just in time, help me to the study."

"What are you going to do in the study?" Ji Tianze asked, but he also passed by.

"I'm going to investigate again, and I always feel that I have missed some clues." Mo Nan felt a lot more relaxed when he was lifted up.

"Then go, you seem to be very interested in that snake?"

"I guess...you have to find it, and I can help you open that door by the way."

"Okay, okay, let's go~" Ji Tianze led him out cheerfully, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said with a smirk to Ji Guiran, "By the way, since you are idle, then take the bowl Go to the kitchen, remember to wash and put away, don’t forget.”

"..."

Ji Guiran was inexplicably instructed to do things, and seeing Mo Nan and Ji Tianze leaving the house in harmony, his displeasure doubled.

This scene is very bleak.

"Oh, why do you want to laugh so much..." Ji Tianze sneered as he walked.

"What are you laughing at?" Mo Nan asked suspiciously.

"I just made up my mind about the NTR scene, and suddenly felt that I had committed a heinous crime, but there was no fluctuation in my heart and I even wanted to laugh. Hahaha..."

Mo Nan was a little depressed. He really didn't know what this man was talking about all day long, but he was still supporting himself now, so he didn't care about it.Mo Nan resisted the urge to give him a blank look.

Ji Tianze was unaware of his disdain. Having laughed enough, he had a joyful face, and walked to the study with the limping Mo Nan, and went straight to the ink painting. He just wanted to open it. That painting was blocked by Mo Nan.

"Wait, let me see it," he said.

Ji Tianze was not in a hurry, so he withdrew his hand and asked Mo Nan to look at the painting.

Mo Nan's gaze roughly scanned the picture from top to bottom, and then stared at the contents of the painting.This is a landscape ink painting, with simple freehand brushwork techniques, mainly the scenery of mountains from top to bottom. It is conceivable that the owner of the painting only used a few strokes to describe the rolling mountains and the surrounding misty The clouds and mist make people feel as if they are in this indifferent and refined artistic conception.

In addition to the mountains, there are also several huts outlined in other places, and several people standing beside the huts. Although the paintings are simple, they are very vivid.Mo Nan couldn't help admiring the artist's skill.

"Does it look good?" Seeing him fascinated, Ji Tianze said, "Brother He drew this."

"That's it." Mo Nan understood, he thought of the portrait of Yun Shuangyue he saw in the He Mansion in Hunshan Township, and thought to himself that Big Brother He really has profound painting skills.Then, he stopped lingering on this landscape painting, but turned it up directly.

Behind the painting is the iron gate that he had seen that day. Today's sunny day has more light, and he can see it more clearly, but after a few quick glances, he can't find anything with clues.

So Mo Nan began to examine the past carefully from top to bottom. He found that the iron gate was not completely black, but dark brown. When he touched the brown surface inch by inch, he suddenly saw the upper right corner of the iron gate. There is a string of light-colored runes that are hard to spot.

Such a breakthrough discovery made him a little excited, he hurriedly pointed to that place and asked Ji Tianze: "Look, there is something there!"

"What?" Ji Tianze looked over after hearing the words, and said calmly, "Oh that, I saw it a long time ago, don't get excited, it's not something useful."

"Oh..." Mo Nan was discouraged all of a sudden, but he didn't give up on the clue. He asked, "Then do you know what is engraved on it?"

"Do you understand?"

Mo Nan stared at the rune on the door for a while, and there were some round and unknown shapes on it, and shook his head.

"Oh...it's a number." Ji Tianze explained.

"Numbers?" Mo Nan was confused, he didn't think those symbols were numbers.

"Arabic numerals, um, are a form of recording numbers that will appear in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's just numbers anyway."

Mo Nan nodded blankly. He did not understand, but he believed that it was a number, so he asked again: "Then what is this number?"

"[-]." Ji Tianze reported a series of numbers smoothly, "Oh, it's pi."

"Green porridge? What is it?"

"...Well, it's probably a circle, do you know a circle, circle." Ji Tianze raised his hand and drew a circle in mid-air.

"Oh, I see."

"Oh, it's round," Ji Tianze sighed, "History is a circle, and people will always go back to the past. This damn door must be trying to tell me this."

"...Why do I feel...your understanding is very reluctant..."

"If you were me, you would think the same, hmph." He clenched his fist and lightly hammered on the door, and the iron door made a hollow knocking sound.

"Well," Mo Nan didn't argue with him too much on meaningless issues, "maybe it's not as simple as you think..."

He didn't finish half of the sentence, because Mo Nan suddenly remembered the mysterious snake cave he stayed in a few days ago. If he remembered correctly... there should be a round arch under the hole...

He still remembered that there was something strange vaguely engraved on a stone.

In Mo Nan's subconscious mind, two seemingly unconnected places were tied together on the same thread, and things suddenly became clear.He felt that this was a clue. Although there was no direct evidence, his intuition told him that there was a clue in that hole.

"I, I seem to know!" Mo Nan excitedly said, "I'll go to that cave to have a look!"

"Ah? What hole?" Ji Tianze was full of doubts when he saw his sudden surge of emotion.

"That's it! The hole I was pushed down last time! There are clues to the iron door!"

"Wait... the day you came back covered in mud?"

"Yes, the time when I was framed by those two little kids." Mo Nan was extremely upset with those two kids at first, but now this discomfort seems to have dissipated a lot.

"Seeing how badly you fell that day, isn't that hole deep?" Ji Tianze asked while recalling.

"It's a little...it's okay," Mo Nan waved his hand, "It's a big deal and just bring Ji Guiran."

"But you still have injuries on your feet..."

"No problem, no problem! I can still be alive and kicking!" Mo Nan was impatient to go to the snake cave to search, "You help me go back first, and I'll set off after I tidy up."

"..."

Ji Tianze looked at his obviously unhealed injury, held him by the hand, and said with a serious expression: "No, don't go."

Mo Nan looked at Ji Tianze who stopped him in surprise, he seemed quite surprised, and he couldn't argue with him, so he could only look at him with a begging look.

"..." Ji Tianze was a little shaken by the stare, and then he struggled for a while, then sighed, "Well, you want to tell me where the clue is, and the place, can I go find it?"

"This...is not easy to handle alone..."

"I'll take that big brother with me again!"

"..." Mo Nan looked even more surprised.Are these two out on errands?He didn't even dare to think about it.

"I think you agreed, it's such a happy decision."

Seeing his self-absorbed appearance, Mo Nan wanted to say something, but Ji Tianze didn't let him continue, and immediately helped him, striding out.
