Douluo's Poison Douluo

Chapter 2 Robbed

After parting ways with Nan Feiyan, the scholar Ding Ning returned home with the last ray of sunset. He hastily sorted the herbs and lit the half-burned candle. Protecting the candlelight, he carefully went to the bookshelf to find books.

This Ding Ning's house is not big, but there are surprisingly many books. Two ridiculously large bookshelves occupy the largest room in the house.

Ding Ning held the candlestick and slowly shuttled between the two large bookshelves. From time to time, he took out a book, shook his head and put it back again.Such a cycle goes on, and before you know it, the last drop of wax on the candlestick has dried, the candle flame is extinguished, and only the cold moonlight coming through the cracks in the window illuminates the area.

Ding Ning stopped and pushed open the old wooden window.The moon outside the window is perfectly round.

Suddenly, soft yellow candlelight lit up in the room, followed by a lazy female voice: "It's rare for a scholar like you to touch these books. Why are you interested in this year's imperial examination?"

Ding Ning did not answer, but smiled slyly: "It smells so good. What kind of wine did you bring?"

"I'm too lazy to be polite to you anymore." The woman sneered and said, "You seem to be in a good mood today. I sent you this wine at the right time."

"I really can't hide anything from you." Ding Ning approached the candlelight, and the candlelight reflected his sharp eyebrows.He said: "Do you still remember my original appearance?"

The woman did not raise her head, took off the seal of the wine jar, smelled the overflowing fragrance and smiled with satisfaction. "Of course I remember."

"I saw her."

"Oh?"

"Well, she is now called 'Nan Feiyan'."

"Nan Feiyan?" The woman muttered silently, "What a good name."

At the same moment, Nan Feiyan, who was basking in the moonlight on the street, suddenly sneezed loudly.Nan Feiyan rubbed his nose, feeling a little depressed: "Who is talking about me?"

It was well past sunset and the streets were already deserted, so no one spoke to me.There were only gusts of night wind that penetrated into people's necks, making Nan Feiyan shiver with cold.

Nan Feiyan rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and passed by the fifth inn with closed doors and windows sadly.I only blame myself for talking a few more words with the scholar and forgetting to book an inn to stay in Baihua City.The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

Nan Feiyan thought for a moment and decided to stop for now, drink some wine to warm up before making any plans.So Nan Feiyan walked towards the door of the inn.On the left side of the door stands a large, round wine jar.Nan Feiyan bent his fingers and tapped the jar three times to make sure there was wine in it. He smiled with satisfaction and eagerly opened the seal.

There is an interesting peculiarity in Baihua City, that is, any drink placed at the door of the inn or resident can be drunk for free without spending any money.In this way, Nan Feiyan has seen more than once a group of ragged beggars surrounding a big wine jar, singing to the moon.

Nan Feiyan once asked curiously about the allusion to this tradition.This started a few years ago.

It is said that on the Double Ninth Festival a few years ago, Lord Ning and the local people in Baihua City went to climb Yuenu Mountain south of Baihua City to pay homage to their relatives.Unexpectedly, their return journey was blocked by heavy rain, which trapped them halfway up the mountain for several hours.The rain was really shocking, the crowd was in panic, and several people were almost washed down the slippery hillside by the waterfall-like rain.It was Lord Ning who asked the men to form a circle and gather the old, weak, women and Confucians in it to rely on each other to survive the heavy rain.

After the heavy rain, everyone who was in a mess finally returned to the city, but they looked exhausted and sick.It was at that time that a wine jar appeared on the only way to Yuenv Mountain.A wine jar with still warm wine inside.Wine can drive away the cold, and for those who have just experienced a disaster, it is undoubtedly a timely help.

The people in Baihua City are simple and simple, but everyone still hesitates to drink the warm wine to relieve their urgent needs without the permission of their master. Lord Ning smiled: "This wine was brewed by my friends, so you don't have to be polite."

This marked the beginning of free drinks.From then on, during every festive season, Baihua City will surely have fragrant and fine wines to celebrate the festival with Baihua City.It's a pity that no one knows who made this wine.

Legend has it that this "qiong dew from the sky" is sweet and refreshing, unmatched by grain brews in the world. Many restaurant owners want Ning Ye to reveal who the brewer is and where he is.However, Ning Ye's reply always only has three words: "I can't tell."

Over time, although this free wine still exists in the Hundred Flowers City and has become a habit, the mysterious brewer has gradually faded out of people's discussions after dinner.

Suddenly recalling this allusion, Nan Feiyan suddenly became curious about Master Ning and the brewer.Lord Ning, she knew that he was one of the richest men in Baihua City, a good man in Baihua City and even the entire Cangqiong Kingdom, and was extremely respected.But the brewer was hidden in the Hundred Flowers City as if he didn't exist.

Nan Feiyan sniffed the overflowing aroma of wine, and after a moment of confusion, he decided not to worry about it anymore, and to have a good taste of this "qiong dew from heaven".

So, here comes the problem.

How could Nan Feiyan drink the little wine left in the jar without bringing a wine flask?

Nan Feiyan searched around the wine jar quite depressedly. Logically speaking, such a big wine jar should have a ladle to hold the wine.

After some searching, Nan Feiyan found the scoop with an unusually long handle ten steps away.Nan Feiyan was so happy that he wanted to go back and have a good drink.Little did he know, someone had already grabbed the wooden spoon in his hand and refused to let go.

This man was dressed in pitch black, with a black gauze hat covering his head and face. He was lying on the side motionless. Nan Feiyan could hardly notice him. He was obviously very drunk.However, his hand was very strong. Nan Feiyan pulled it out for a long time, but he was still unable to pull out the wooden scoop.Nan Feiyan twisted his eyebrows, feeling a little annoyed, and kicked the drunken man. The gourd did not fall off with this kick, but the black gauze hat covering the man's face tilted to one side, revealing half of his face.

Nan Feiyan blinked, approached unexpectedly, and curiously took off the man's gauze hat.As if taking special care of Nan Feiyan, the moment Nan Feiyan took off his gauze hat, the moon happened to emerge from the clouds, and the moonlight was full of light, especially soft and bright.In this way, Nan Feiyan could see the man's face clearly.

Nan Feiyan was stunned, squatting next to the man and looking at him, his eyes moved from the man's forehead, to the thick black eyelashes under his sharp eyebrows, and then to the slightly pale lips under the high bridge of his nose.This man is very good-looking.She thought for a while, but for a while she couldn't think of words to describe it.Because the man was quite good-looking, Nan Feiyan patted the man's hand that was still holding Mu Laozi tightly and didn't intend to care about it anymore. He magnanimously put the black gauze hat on the man's face again, and then stood up with satisfaction. .

Suddenly a gust of wind blew and stirred a few green hairs around her ears.Looking at the ladle held tightly in the man's hand, Nan Feiyan slightly raised his eyebrows.After thinking for a moment, she returned to the door of the inn, pulled out the pear wood hairpin from her hair, held the door lock in her left hand, and the wooden hairpin in her right hand. She gently picked at the keyhole. After a crisp sound, she pushed the door open and pushed the man inch by inch. Dragging him into the inn, he clicked the door lock neatly.Then, with a little tiptoe, it flew up to the eaves, hiding in the shadows.

Nan Feiyan will maintain his balance from the eaves, and two men quietly appear next to the wine jar.One was dressed darker than the man in black just now, with his face covered, and the other was dressed a bit whiter than the moonlight.

"Let him escape again!" The shorter man in black kicked the seal away, still feeling annoyed, and smashed the wine jar into pieces with a palm, leaving no drop of the fine wine in the jar.The aroma suddenly became so strong that Nan Feiyan almost shed tears.

The man in white put away the folding fan little by little, and said in a clear and calm voice, "In front of Qian Lixiang, no matter how far you run away, you will become prey sooner or later."

"But, how to report to the master?" The man in black hesitated.

The man in white moved and stood in the moonlight, looking up at the full moon half-covered by floating clouds. He seemed to be reciting a poem, but of course, he was talking about something else. "My lord ordered to hunt him down in just one or two days, so what if it takes a few more days?"

The man in black said no more words and left with the calm and leisurely man in white.

After making sure that the two of them were far away, Nan Feiyan jumped down from the eaves and wiped away the dust and cobwebs. It seemed that he understood that the man inside was obsessed with this black and white thing.Spiced wine is used to make people submit.Nan Feiyan took a deep breath. Fortunately, as a thief, he had excellent ears, so the man escaped.

Qian Lixiang, this poison is very familiar to Nan Feiyan.It is colorless and odorless, but it is difficult to remove if it is stained on the body, but the person who drugged it has the ability to smell this colorless and odorless thing with his nose.And depending on the dose, it can take as little as four or five days, and at most, it may take seven to seven to 49 days to completely remove it.What's even more terrible is that the poisoned person has no other discomfort except for being drowsy, which makes people unprepared and just waiting for the poisoner to prey on them.

"Thousand Miles of Fragrance" Nan Feiyan has a deep understanding of this.When he was in Panlong City, Nan Feiyan stole a jade pendant from a rich man's house full of gold and silver. This broken pendant was dyed with this Thousand Mile Incense. After that, Nan Feiyan was chased by dogs every day and became miserable. I have been living with garlic all over my body for quite some time.

After finally getting out of trouble, in order to get rid of the overwhelming smell of garlic, I secretly soaked in the lake for several days every day.Nan Feiyan was so angry that he robbed all the wealthy families in Panlong City.All the stolen gold, silver and jewelry were scattered bit by bit with outrageous patience and buried in the crop fields.As a matter of course, Nan Feiyan, who is so willful, has attracted wanted orders all over the world.

Nan Feiyan himself didn't care.Before coming to the Flower City, she turned back and threw all the remaining money of the family who had let the dog chase her into the pond. She only placed the jade pendant dyed with Thousand Miles of Incense next to the pillow of the rich man and his wife.

When Nan Feiyan first stepped into Baihua City, he realized that the rich man's family had suffered a disaster.This incident made Nan Feiyan depressed for a long time.She put the pendant next to the eldest lady's pillow just to scare people away from the dog. How could she just wipe out the whole family?Naturally, Nan Feiyan would not be so stupid as to think that a dog killed their whole family. In other words, if a family could be killed by a dog, they deserved to die.Nan Feiyan, who has always been cool and bold, quickly put this behind him and continued to escape leisurely.

Now, if the man in white hadn't brought up Qian Lixiang again, she would have almost forgotten about it.This time, I'm afraid the man in black kicked over the wine jar to barely cover up the smell...

Nan Feiyan was a little frustrated. Why was she being chased by dogs when she was dyeing Thousand Miles of Sweetener, and no one came to help her? But this man was chased by a man whose back was better than ten big wolf dogs?

Nan Feiyan glanced at the eternally bright moon, shook her head, and sighed sadly: "There are too few people in this world who are as enthusiastic, kind, and witty as Nan Feiyan..."
