[Douluo Dalu] Hu Liena
Chapter 7 The Poison of the Nether Flower
In the classroom "Nana, Nana, we are still in class! Why did you fall asleep!"
The soft voice echoed in Hu Liena's ears. She rubbed her hazy eyes and looked up to see that it was Xue Ke, who was looking at her with a sweet smile.
Hu Liena replied with a hint of sleepiness: "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night!"
In fact, she went to bed very early last night. Strangely enough, people have been feeling groggy recently, as if they couldn't get enough sleep.
Xue Ke couldn't help but see that she was sleeping all the time. The teacher would definitely punish her if she found out. He said: "I have a refreshing wallet here, you can use it!" Hu Liena didn't like to carry these things since she was a child, but seeing Xue Ke's sincere face, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she accepted it.
She picked up the purse and sniffed it, and the aroma was indeed pleasant. The pattern embroidered on the purse looks very special, as if it is some kind of special totem. Then he asked: "What is the pattern embroidered on this? It's so beautiful!"
"I saw this pattern in an ancient book. I thought it was unique, so I drew it and embroidered it on my purse. Just do it if you like it!"
"Did you embroider this yourself?" Hu Liena was a little surprised. These needleworks are a real shortcoming for her.
"Yeah! My brother also likes the purse I embroidered." She said softly, with a slight blush on her face.
Her brother? There are only two princes in Tiandou Palace now, one is Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and the other is Xue Beng, but why is she so shy when mentioning her brother in meetings.
"Xue Ke, I was away a few days ago and fell behind a lot in my classes. Maybe you have time to help me in the evening?"
"Yeah." Xue Ke smiled and nodded.
When she first arrived at Yuexuan, she was wary of Xue Ke and kept away from him. However, after getting along with him for a long time, she found that she was not only simple-minded but also had no airs of a princess, and the two gradually established a friendship.
Xue Ke lives in a single-family villa in the east. The villa is surrounded by a large courtyard. The courtyard is full of roses. Although it is late autumn, the roses are still blooming. There are several fences in the yard, and this kind of flower is planted in the fence. The shape of the flower is like a beauty's tear, and its color is like vermilion. There are straight stems under the flowers, but there is not a single flower or leaf on the stems. Although Hu Liena had never seen this flower before, she could not deny that it looked really beautiful.
Under the roses, beside the fence. Xue Ke was talking to a young man, and a ray of sunset illuminated their figures on the ground. Because of the distance, she didn't hear what they were talking about. I saw this young man wearing white clothes, with long white hair hanging down to his shoulders, and his facial features were as handsome as a knife. When they heard footsteps, they both looked over at the same time.
"Nana, you're here, come in quickly!" Xue Ke said with a sweet smile.
The man's eyes stopped on Hu Liena, and her eyes also stopped on this man.
"Brother, this is my new classmate!" The man smiled and nodded towards Hu Liena. Hu Liena also smiled and nodded to him, but the two did not talk.
"Since some classmates are looking for you, I will go back first and come to see you another day!" The man said in a gentle tone.
The young man walked past Hu Liena and left the courtyard. For some reason she felt a chill in her back, turned around and saw that the man was no longer there.
"Nana, what's wrong with you!" Xue Ke asked after seeing the doubt on her face. "No, it's nothing! Is this your brother?", "Yes! My brother is worried that I will miss home, and will come to see me when he has free time!" As he said this, a smile appeared on Xue Ke's face unconsciously.
I had already seen His Highness Xue Beng when he entered the city that day. He was arrogant and domineering. And this person, who has a gentle temperament and respectful behavior, must be the prince Xue Qinghe. But when I saw this person, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. This feeling made people feel chills down their backs.
"Nana, what's wrong with you today? Why are you always absent-minded!"
Hu Liena calmed down and smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go in! I brought the streamer, and the lessons I've given in the past few days depend on you!"
"Nana, you are actually very talented. You have only been at the academy for a few months, and your piano skills have almost caught up with mine."
Hu Liena smiled and joked: "I don't dare to compare with our Princess, you are the best piano player in our academy!"
"Before you and Tang Yin came, the teacher did ask me to play at the graduation ceremony. But now, Tang Yin's piano skills have far surpassed mine." He sighed again! "Originally, I promised my brother that he would come and watch me perform at my graduation ceremony. Now I'm afraid I will disappoint him!"
Hearing the word Tang Yin, Hu Liena fell into thoughts again. She had not met him alone since she came back. She always wanted to thank him, but she stopped after some hesitation in her heart.
In the lonely night, the starry sky twinkled, and a crescent moon hung on the horizon. A cool breeze blew through Hu Liena's dress, and followed her sparse footsteps to Tang Yin's residence.
She stood outside the courtyard for a moment, then mustered up the courage to go in.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock! There were knocks on the door, "Who?" Tang San's tone was cold. "it's me."
"Come in!" The door gradually opened and Hu Liena entered the room. The lights in the room were dim and the furnishings inside were very simple. Tang San was sitting cross-legged on a flat platform practicing. Seeing her come in, he got off the couch.
"Are you looking for me?" His voice was always so cold.
Hu Liena lowered her head and said softly: "I, I'm here to say thank you!" It was not difficult to hear a hint of nervousness in her tone. Seeing that Tang San didn't speak. Then he said softly: "Why did you appear there that day?"
"I just happened to be passing by." Tang San said calmly.
In fact, Tang San had already noticed when Xie Yue appeared that day. It could be said that he and Hu Liena went out almost at the same time, but he had been hiding in the dark without being discovered by anyone. If he hadn't seen her life hanging by a thread, he wouldn't have taken action.
Hu Liena was silent for a moment and then said, "Why, you will agree to walk the road to hell with me." Her tone was obviously much heavier.
Tang San also asked himself this question many times. Maybe it was because Hu Liena had helped him before, or maybe it was because in that place where it was extremely easy to lose one's true nature, only when he saw her did he feel that he was a normal person. That's why he took her out at all costs when they were on Hell Road. But even he himself couldn't find the final answer.
"You said that cooperation would benefit both sides." His tone was still calm.
Hu Liena was silent for another moment, "Tang Yin, Tang... Tang San, I want to thank you no matter what!" After saying that, she turned and left.
A few days later, the students in the classroom were still attending class as usual. It’s just that Hu Liena’s seat has been vacant for several days. Some students whispered, "Where has Nana gone? Why haven't I seen her in class these past few days?", "I went to see her yesterday, and she didn't look good. She was still asleep when I went there. ! Maybe it’s because of the cold wind!”
These words lingered in Tang San's ears, and he secretly said: "I have been drowsy all day long, how is this possible!"
When he broke the formation that night, he had already seen that Hu Liena had been poisoned by the corpse flower. The person who was poisoned could recover from the poison by sleeping for three days, so he did not prepare an antidote for her. It was already the third day that Hu Liena came to see him that night. Tang San saw that her complexion was normal, her breathing was steady, and there was nothing unusual about her, so he concluded that her poison had been cured by itself. But when he heard Xue Ke say this, he felt something was wrong.
After class, he came to Hu Liena's residence. Seeing that the door was closed, he reached out and knocked on the door several times, but there was no movement in the room. "Is she not there?" After thinking for a moment. After knocking a few more times, and seeing that there was still no movement in the room, he wanted to turn around and leave, but then a bad thought suddenly came to his mind, which made him startled, and he broke in through the door in desperation.
After entering the house, she saw Hu Liena lying on the bed and she had fallen into a coma. When he walked in and saw her face was pale and her lips were slightly purple, it was obvious that she was poisoned.
"Nana, Nana!" Tang San called several times and saw that she still didn't wake up, so he reached out to feel her pulse. At this time, he found a strange flower growing on her wrist. The shape of this flower he had never seen before. Never seen.
"Could this flower be related to the poison on her body?" Tang San speculated secretly. Then he saw a delicately patterned lotus root-colored purse placed next to her black hair. The purse exuded a faint herbal fragrance. He opened his purse and saw that it only contained common herbs such as musk, calamus and styrax. It has nothing to do with the poison she was poisoned with.
Tang San considered himself to be a rare master of using poison, but he didn't expect that there was someone on Douluo Continent who was more proficient in using poison than him. After much thought, I decided to ask someone.
"Madam, someone is looking for you outside!" A follower said to Tang Yuehua respectfully. Then Tang San walked in.
"You guys go down first!" Tang Yuehua retreated.
"Aunt!" Tang San said respectfully.
"Mistress, what do you want to do with your aunt?" Tang Yuehua's tone was gentle.
Tang San said calmly: "There is something I don't understand, and I want to ask my aunt!"
"What's the matter?"
"Do you know any poison that can cause flowers to grow in the hands of the poisoned person and make him unconscious?"
Tang Yuehua was startled and asked in shock: "Who was poisoned by this poison?"
Tang San didn't answer.
Seeing that Tang San didn't tell the person who was poisoned, Tang Huayue guessed about it.
"The name of this poison is: Netherworld Flower. Those who are poisoned by this poison will have flowers in their hands and become drowsy. After seven days, their souls will be completely swallowed by this flower. People who are poisoned often don't know why they died. In the past two years, in Tiandou City , there are many people who have died from this poison!" There was regret in her tone.
"You will die in seven days!" Tang San was shocked.
"Auntie, does he know how to detoxify?"
Tang Yuehua sighed softly and said: "It is said that as long as you find the Netherworld Flower and take it when you are pregnant, the devoured soul of the poisoned person can be released, but no one has been able to find this flower for a long time!"
The words "Two Flowers of the Netherworld" were imprinted in Tang San's heart.
