Chapter 170 Rivers and Lakes ([-]) Raven
Ye Chen is surprisingly interested in cooking, simple ingredients can give you some tricks.

Then, probably because of limited ingredients, he and Chu Ruxue both made tofu nao.

Now Ye Chen and Chu Ruxue started a heated discussion on the topic of "whether tofu nao tastes salty or sweet".

Ming Xu watched them argue for a long time, and drank both sweet and salty.

After the two found out, the argument stopped immediately, and they turned their heads to look at Ming Xu.

"What's wrong?" Ming Xu was a little confused.

Ye Chen said seriously: "Nan Xu, do you think it's sweet or salty?"

"Huh?" Ming Xu was stunned, recalled cooperatively, and said truthfully, "It feels pretty good."

"How can they be all good?!" Chu Ruxue was very puzzled, "How can something like tofu brain accept another kind??"

"Why can't everything be fine?" Du Ruo's voice came from the door, "It's great not to be picky about food, how can it be like you."

As soon as she heard Master's voice, Chu Ruxue immediately restrained herself, smiled and said, "Haha, why are you here, Master?"

"Why did I come? Is it possible that I still come to listen to you arguing about which tofu nao is delicious? Of course I'm here to detoxify." Du Ruo hated iron but steel.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately stood up and asked, "Do I need to do anything?"

Du Ruo glanced at him, put down the acupuncture tools in his hand and arranged them, and replied: "Just go out and stay and don't run around."

Ye Chen wanted to ask more questions but was dragged out by Chu Ruxue, the door was also closed, and the room became quiet.

Du Ruo packed his tools on his own, and didn't distract himself from looking at Ming Xu.

But then Du Ruo suddenly said softly: "Are you from Xuangu?"

Although this is an interrogative sentence, it is clear that the questioner already has an answer.

Ming Xu froze for a moment, subconsciously grabbed the wrist of his right hand, and watched Du Ruo didn't reply.

Du Ruo glanced at him, and said casually, "Don't cover it up, I accidentally saw you when you were unconscious."

People in Xuangu have a mark, they will tattoo a plum blossom on their body, but it doesn't appear usually, it only appears when they are heated, and the one that appears is on the wrist.

Du Ruo tidied things up, turned around and said, "Actually, I don't care much about your identity, I just talk about it casually. After all, Xuan Gu faded out of the rivers and lakes decades ago, and now there are almost only legends left."

"However, let me remind you," Du Ruo said slowly, "It's best not to let anyone see this pattern outside, although there may not be many people you know, but... Xuangu's relationship with the various families back then was not much better Go, but due to his strength, everyone dared not speak out, if they knew that there was an order..." Du Ruo smiled, "You should be able to guess the consequences."

Ming Xu didn't say much, and said softly, "Thanks for the reminder."

Du Ruo nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's get down to business."

Ye Chen, who was called to the living room again and was in a daze, was not in the mood to look at jasmine flowers now. He was walking around and couldn't take any time off.

"What are you doing? I'm sure everything will be fine if Master is here, just wait a while."

After hesitating for a while, Ye Chen asked, "Does acupuncture hurt?"

"Normally not," Chu Ruxue said nonchalantly, "and Master's hands are very steady, except for special circumstances."

Ye Chen didn't say anything after hearing this, he squatted down and tried to stare at Jasmine in a daze, trying his best to wait patiently.

Not long after, the door was opened, and Ming Xu and Du Ruo walked out together.

Ye Chen immediately went up to meet him, looked left and right, and asked Ming Xu in a low voice: "How is it? Is there any discomfort?"

The voice was not high, but Du Ruo's ears were really good. He probably felt that his medical skills were being questioned, so he raised his eyebrows and said directly: "What's the point? It's just acupuncture. He was stabbed by a knife before seeing his old wounds." It’s a common thing, and you’re still afraid of my silver needles?”

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly, but still apologized and said: "Sorry senior, I didn't mean that."

After a pause, Ye Chen then asked: "Then, has Nan Xu's poison been cured now?"

"I told you, how can it be so fast, I think you are too free, so, you can help me make medicine, so that you don't have too much energy to think about here and there."

Suddenly being assigned a task, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized it, and immediately took the order.

Chu Ruxue originally planned to follow, but Du Ruo stopped her, and slowly said: "Go and review the medical skills I taught me, I will come to check tonight to see how much you have returned to me .”

"Tonight?" Chu Ruxue turned pale with shock.

Seeing her like this, Du Ruo smiled and said, "It's too late, why don't you come to check now?"

"No, no, no, I'm going right now!" Chu Ruxue ran away quickly, not daring to look back.

"Then I..." Ming Xu originally planned to say that he would also help make the medicine, but Du Ruo stepped forward and said, "You can move around freely, and don't go to the pharmacy first, so as not to smell any conflicting effects of the medicine."

The patient should naturally obey the doctor's orders, so Ming Xu didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, just stayed in the living room.

Ming Xu likes to be in a daze when he is resting, and he used to be in Xuangu too, when he had no tasks, he would just sit and spend the day alone.

The time in the summer afternoon was leisurely. At this time, there was only Ming Xu in the living room, leisurely and silent.

A light-colored butterfly flapped its wings and flew into the courtyard. The butterfly circled around the flower bushes, and then lightly landed on a flower, but before it stopped, the butterfly suddenly flew up again, and the flower shook , trembling slightly.

Ming Xu's attention was attracted, and he walked to the flowers involuntarily, squatting down and observing carefully.

The fragrance of flowers permeates the entire courtyard, fragrant and fragrant, but...

"Why are there no butterflies?" Ming Xu whispered to herself.

This is the season for butterflies, why didn't the fragrance of flowers attract butterflies?The one just left quickly too, don't they like the fragrance of jasmine?
The flowers in front of her were quiet and clean. Ming Xu was fascinated by it. After a while, she suddenly stretched out her hand and wanted to touch this delicate flower.

"Huh? Eh?! Don't!"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, and then Ming Xu felt like he was hit by someone. He couldn't maintain his balance and fell forward. His right hand subconsciously fell into the flowers first, and his palm touched a piece of cold soil, and then he stabilized.

"Wow...it's over..." Chu Ruxue said as she looked at the bald patch of flowers, feeling ashamed.

She couldn't bear it just now and was going to sneak out for a stroll. When she saw Ming Xu by the side of the flowers in the living room, she subconsciously thought that he wanted to pick flowers, so she rushed to stop her, but she didn't stop the car and ran into someone's house.

Ming Xu turned around and looked at her, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"This flower...Master is very precious and will never touch it."

Unfortunately, however, several flowers under the palm of the hand had been crushed unfortunately, Ming Xu withdrew her hand and stood up, looked at the flowers and then at Chu Ruxue, and said "sorry" softly.

"No, I bumped into you." After thinking for a while, Chu Ruxue looked at death and said, "So, immediately say that I accidentally hit you. I have more experience than you, so it's okay."

Just as Ming Xu was about to reply, she suddenly glanced at her right hand from the corner of her eye──
The palm of the hand that was pressed to the soil just now was blood red, as if it was stained with blood, it could drip blood in a trance...

"What are you doing? Xiaoxue, have you memorized all the books?"

When Du Ruo's voice came, Chu Ruxue turned around immediately, looked at him nervously, and made a draft in her heart, thinking about how to admit her mistakes so that she could be scolded lightly.

Du Ruo walked over slowly, glanced at the flowers, and said softly, "My flowers..."

"That, Master—"

Chu Ruxue was about to say something, but was interrupted by Du Ruo directly, "Be more careful next time."

"...Huh?" Chu Ruxue was stunned.

"I said pay attention, what?" Then Du Ruo looked at Ming Xu's hand again, and explained casually: "This is red clay, so the color is strange, I specially found it."

"Red earth?"

"Yes," Du Ruo seemed too lazy to dwell on this topic, and turned to say, "Hurry up and wash your hands, get ready for dinner, go to bed early after eating, and the poison will be completely cured tomorrow."

"Okay!" Chu Ruxue heard that she would not be scolded anymore, she hurriedly pushed Ming Xu and left.

Seeing the two walking away, Du Ruo looked back at the flowers. At this time, the sky was getting dark and the courtyard was even more quiet and cold.

Du Ruo knelt down and tidied up the bald piece of jasmine just now, and then left.

Under the cover of night, the pure white flowers are still beautiful, but they are inexplicably more ghostly than in the daytime. The breeze passes by, and the flower branches are gently swaying, like a witch bewitching people's minds.

All night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky in the mountains was slightly bright, and Du Ruo opened the gate as usual, but when he raised his head, he suddenly froze—
The walls, fences, and trees near the house were full of densely packed black ravens, swarming and frightening.

These ravens arrived without knowing when, and they made no sound at all. They did not fly away after seeing Du Ruo, but turned to look over and blinked their eyes.

Du Ruo paused for a moment, and then closed the door decisively. The ravens seemed to have discovered something, and immediately shouted together. The sharp and piercing voice echoed all over the mountains and plains, it was very unpleasant!
"What is it?" Ye Chen just woke up, and was startled when he heard the voice, and saw Du Ruo rushing over in a blink of an eye, with a bad expression on his face.

"What's the matter, senior?"

Du Ruo looked at Ming Xu and said quietly, "Your trouble has come to you."

Then Du Ruo directly started to arrange, pointing to Chu Ruxue and Ye Chen and said: "You two must stop the people outside, Xiaoxue, I don't expect you to remember how to use the mechanism outside this room, but at least you should know a little bit, And you," Du Ruo pointed at Ming Xu again, "go to the pharmacy with me now, and get rid of the last poison."

Ye Chen guessed that the men in black were probably chasing after him, and subconsciously asked, "Can't we go first?" Why do we need to detoxify in this unsafe place?
"Of course we can leave, but my medicine can't leave! The environmental medicine will be useless if you leave here, so either you can detoxify today, or you can come to me for detoxification in 20 years!"

At the same time, a group of people had slowly gathered outside the house, and everyone hid quietly in the dark, not acting rashly.

When the ravens saw people coming, they screamed a few more times, and then they all flew into the sky and hovered over the roof.

"Young Master," the subordinate asked for instructions, "The Raven has been confirmed. When will we act?"

Ming Qi looked at the house in the forest, and said slowly, "Now."
