Fly the wrong branch and become a phoenix

Chapter 20 Blood-Stained Prosperity

When the middle-aged man saw Deyuan enter the room, he got up quickly, with a submissive look.

"Go out." Gu Mengyu ordered softly, her stunning face was even more beautiful because of the ubiquitous melancholy.

"Yes." The middle-aged man bowed and retreated to the door, then turned and left, not forgetting to close the door after going out.

"Are you ready?" Looking up, Gu Mengyu looked at Deyuan.

Deyuan nodded, and said in a low voice: "The subordinates have checked, and there is no suspicious person, and the carriage is ready. Tomorrow, we only need to buy a few clothes to keep warm and go on the road..."

Deyuan paused for a moment, his eyes filled with worry: "Master, your injury has not healed yet, you may wish to take care of it for a while."

Although it has been more than ten days since that sinister battle, the wound is so deep that it almost penetrates from front to back, so that Gu Mengyu's right hand is still weak. Even though the surface is healed, the inside is not so easy to heal, no wonder Deyuan is worried.

"The injury is fine." Gu Mengyu said flatly, "These people's origins are unknown, and we don't know when they will find us again. It's better to rush to the imperial city as quickly as possible."

"I've lived here for three days, and these two people were also scared. When I leave tomorrow, I will leave some money for them, which can be regarded as compensation." His eyes fell on his right hand, which was powerlessly resting on his lap, and Gu Mengyu pursed his lips. , a trace of determination flashed across his eyes.

Even if he can no longer play the piano, even if he can no longer hold the sword, he is absolutely unwilling to delay the journey because of one hand. He wants to get to the Wanwei Palace as soon as possible and see Kong Lingqun as soon as possible. Hatred has burned his blood. Every day, there will be more suffering.

"Yes." Knowing that he could not change his master's decision, Deyuan sighed in his heart and could only follow through.

……

In the kitchen, the fat woman was cooking while staring at the middle-aged man who was adding vegetables to the stove, cursing in a low voice: "Look, I'm blinding you!"

The middle-aged man chuckled, and said wretchedly: "It doesn't make sense for you to be so jealous. He is a son and not a woman. Besides, he looks like a painting. I have never seen it when I grow up." I've seen such a handsome person, I don't want to look at him for nothing."

Hearing this, the woman's fat face distorted and deformed, and she threw a spatula at the middle-aged man's head: "I'm so frightened here, but you still dare to be lustful, a dog can't change eating shit! Believe it or not, I dig your eyes."

The middle-aged man tilted his head, dodged the spatula, and said with a smile: "Young master just asked me some questions and you are so jealous. This is not what I want to see, and I dare not not go. The lady calmed down, Madam calm down."

"Hmph!" The woman gave the middle-aged man a fierce look, and went to cook again, chanting something, but couldn't hear clearly.

The fire in the hearth turned the middle-aged man red, two clusters of flames danced in his eyes, and he murmured obsessively: "It's so beautiful...so beautiful..."

The woman is a shrew, and she is also a well-known jealous vat. At this moment, she heard the murmur of her man, the fingers holding the spatula turned white, her chest heaved violently, her distorted face became more ferocious, and her eyes became more and more fierce in the overwhelming jealousy. fierce.

……

"Tuk Tuk"

The knock on the door interrupted Gu Mengyu's contemplation, he frowned slightly, wondering if Deyuan had just left the house, why did he come back so quickly?Could it be that something happened?

"My lord, your medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot." A woman's shrill voice came from outside the room.

"Come in." She frowned, and her picturesque eyes sparkled as she looked towards the door.

As usual, the woman put the medicine bowl on the table, glanced at Gu Mengyu secretly, then bowed her head and backed out.

But the difference is that this time the woman did not take care of her vegetable garden and feed the pigs, but came to the back wall and lay down facing the dog hole. Her fat body filled the hole and her clothes were torn There were a few places, but it made her get out with difficulty, and then ran away quickly.

Looking at the brown soup, Gu Mengyu felt bitter in his mouth, but he still took a gulp to drink it up, raising his eyebrows slightly, the medicine today is not as bad as usual.

A few days ago, I passed by villages and towns and didn't dare to enter, but naturally I couldn't keep up with the speed of a horse with only two legs, so I sneaked into the city and found this family to scare me before staying.And Deyuan not only inquired about the news, but also needed to buy a carriage, and even prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine.These three days, two meals a day, made Gu Mengyu's mouth full of bitterness.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Mengyu didn't know that his lips were gradually turning red, from light red to pink and then bright red, just like a little vermilion lips, beautiful and coquettish, a wisp of faint fragrance in the room. It drifted away, and the source was him.

In less than an hour, Deyuan drove the carriage to the intersection, parked it, took out the package from the carriage and walked into the alley.

He unlocked the door and opened it, but he didn't see the woman and her man, they must be busy in the kitchen.After locking the door, Deyuan came to Gu Mengyu's house, called out and pushed open the half-covered door.

When Deyuan stepped into the house, a faint fragrance invaded the nose, like lotus and plum, very nice smell, Deyuan didn't pay too much attention, looked up at Gu Mengyu, when his eyes touched the master's bright red lips, Can't help but froze.

Looking around at the package in Deyuan's hand, Gu Mengyu asked softly, "Is everything ready?"

"Yes..." Deyuan came back to his senses and asked puzzledly, "Master, your lips..."

Before he finished speaking, Deyuan seemed to think of something, his face changed abruptly, he sniffed the fragrance that filled the room, and then his face suddenly turned pale, and the package in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing Deyuan's gaffe, Gu Mengyu's eyes were full of doubts, and before he could speak, Deyuan rushed over, ignoring the difference between master and servant, took his left hand, and stuck a silver needle into his middle finger.

A drop of blood was squeezed out, Deyuan caught it with his finger and put it in his mouth, his eyes changed immediately, anger, sadness, pain.

"Bah." Spitting out blood drops mixed with saliva, De Yuan knelt down slowly, with tears in his eyes, opened his mouth several times in grief, but didn't say a word.

Gu Mengyu had an ominous premonition in his heart, he put the broken middle finger into his mouth, and sucked it hard, a sweet smell filled his mouth, without the slightest smell of blood.

Is this his blood?It's so different...

Self-mockery flashed in his eyes, Gu Mengyu lowered his arms weakly, his clear eyes reflected Deyuan's face distorted by pain, and said softly: "Speak."

"Master...Master..." Deyuan gritted his teeth, and pounded his fists tightly, his trembling voice showed his anger and sadness, "Rainbow... This is Rainbow... Poison... medicine……"

"Rainbow Tan..." Gu Mengyu smiled softly, with sorrow in his eyes, "What a nice name..."

What a nice name, Rainbow Tan, but its effect is so vicious.

"If you don't know the order of the rainbow tan, you can't refine the antidote. If you blindly put the medicine in the wrong order, the antidote will become a deadly poison." Deyuan took a deep breath to stabilize his ups and downs. It is sweet and sweet when eaten, and the fragrance permeates the body after taking it. It is divided into three stages, and the lip color will change in each stage, from red to purple and then to black. It can last up to... four months..."

Gu Mengyu lowered her head, quietly, not moving or speaking, her figure was lonely, the silence was heartbreaking.

Deyuan raised his head, his eyes were stung by his master's bright red lips, his grief and indignation turned into hatred, he got up abruptly and rushed outside, but he didn't see the two masters that should have existed.Leaping onto the wall, Deyuan turned into a wisp of light smoke and rushed away.

In the silent room, the breathing is barely audible, but the fragrance is still there, as if there is no living body.After a long time, a faint voice sounded like a sigh: "I have no intention of harming you, but why do you want to kill me?"

Sigh the injustice of heaven, lament the misery of fate, lament that people's hearts are not ancient...

Gu Mengyu's posture has not changed, her heart seems to be in chaos, but also seems to be empty.I don't know how long it has passed, but the howling sound broke the dead silence.

The obese woman seemed weightless in Deyuan's hands, her legs were dragging on the ground, limp, a broken bone poked out of her trousers, stained with blood.The bun was messy, the snot and tears mixed with the blood on the lips, it was extremely messy, one cheek was swollen, red and purple, extremely asymmetrical.

The fossil-like man slowly raised his head, looked at the woman Deyuan found from nowhere, and the hatred in his eyes slowly gathered: "Why did you want to kill me?"

Having been beaten like this, and the poison had already been applied, the woman might feel that there was no hope of surviving, or maybe it was jealousy that made her forget all fears, and the toughness in her bones made her open her mouth like a fearless person. , showing bloody gums, and expressed the resentment in his heart: "You seduce my man, you deserve to die! Damn! Damn!"

"Damn it! You should die! Seduce my man, damn it!" The teeth in his mouth had already been knocked out by De Yuan's palm, and the words he spoke at this moment were vague, and saliva and blood flowed down the corners of his lips.

Seeing the woman's resentful eyes and listening to the vicious curse, the hatred in Gu Mengyu's eyes gradually faded, and the sadness intensified. He felt it was unbelievable, simply absurd, that he was actually poisoned for such an absurd reason.

Should I laugh or cry?Is it up to the sky to complain, or to beat the ground and curse?Is it resentment for the small belly of women in the market or the injustice of fate?Anger spread in the bottom of my heart, instantly surging to the sky.

"Snapped"

The medicine bowl was thrown in front of the woman, and it was broken into pieces. The white clothes could not hide the raging anger: "You are blind! You are such a vicious woman, it is not a pity to die!"

Deyuan on the side was already trembling with anger, that skinny skeleton-like, wretched-looking middle-aged man was not worthy to lift his master's shoes, and this guy actually said that the master seduced him?What a stupid woman blinded by jealousy!And the master was poisoned because of this unfounded reason, and it is still a poison with no cure!How can there be such absurd and unreasonable things in the world?

Hearing Gu Mengyu's words, Deyuan kicked the woman in the chest. After a sound of bones breaking, the woman finally stopped cursing and lying on the ground like ooze, lifeless.

Deyuan reported in a low voice: "This woman doesn't know the antidote. Rainbow Tan was used by her mother-in-law to poison rats. I don't know the origin."

Clenching his fists tightly, Gu Mengyu tried his best to suppress his anger, stood up and walked out, with nothing but firmness and no sadness: "Until Kong Lingqun doesn't agree, I can't die yet. Let's start now, don't delay any longer on the way."

When he witnessed the man and his son being impaled by arrows and falling off the cliff, Gu Mengyu's world was shrouded in darkness, and he had no interest in living in the world. He didn't mind his own life or death, but he minded that he could not take revenge.If he can't kill the enemy alive, at least he must find someone who can help him avenge him, otherwise, he will die in peace...

Looking at his master's back, regretting his heart like an ant, Deyuan hated himself for being careless, and wished he could whip the corpse a hundred times.
