The system pits me and destroys the heroine

The sun that had been hiding in the clouds yesterday showed its head this morning. The scorching heat wave made people have to hide under the eaves. In the courtyard not far away, some people were building partitions. Because of the heat, they hid Under the shade of the tree, I used a ladle to water my head.

Xia Ningle is much better today, her lower abdomen doesn't hurt so much anymore, she still has sandbags tied to her hands, it is inconvenient to wash or eat, she rubbed her wrists, but she didn't take them off.

The two little things brought rice milk for Yu'er to eat. The rice was specially ordered by Si Qinglian to be left for the three little guys to eat. The little things like Yu'er very much, and they will always accompany Yu'er when she wakes up talking.

It was to free up some time for Xia Ningle to do other things. The sun was too vicious, so she took an umbrella and went to the front yard. The water in the well was inexhaustible. It was convenient for everyone to use water to cool down. Everyone passed by After a few days of rest, I almost recovered and was full of energy.

It's just that the entire Song Mansion seemed a little quiet, which was unusually quiet. Xia Ningle frowned, feeling puzzled. She could hear birds chirping as she walked in the yard. Before she could figure it out, a sharp arrow shot through the air from her body. He flew by and shot the bird down.

Xia Ningle was taken aback. The arrow flew past her head just now, and she always felt her head was chilly. Looking back, Si Qinglian walked over slowly, picked up the dead bird, Pass it to Chun'er.

"Stew soup for dinner at night."

"It's Your Highness."

Si Qinglian turned around and patted the frightened Xia Ningle again, saying: "Don't worry, I have good arrow skills, I won't miss it."

Xia Ningle naturally knew that Si Qinglian would not miss her shot. If the arrow really missed her position, it would only be when Si Qinglian wanted her to die. It was hard for Xia Ningle not to think about it when it happened suddenly. , which is warning her.

But what is Si Qinglian warning?

"You should trust me."

That's right, I was warning Xia Ningle to clarify why he didn't choose the affectionate He Shikun, but chose the unfamiliar Si Qinglian, Xia Ningle smiled wryly, this matter is really hard to explain: "Of course I am Trust His Highness."

"Well, very good." Si Qinglian closed her eyes slightly, and didn't say much. After she unloaded the bow and arrow, she resumed her smile, gently took Xia Ningle's hand, and rubbed the reddish cheeks. Wrist, "Replenish your body well at night, don't let your body collapse if you don't get strong."

Dare to love, that bird was shot by Xia Ningle!

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Si Qinglian's hands were very hot and burning. Maybe it was because the sun was too hot today, making her uncomfortably hot. There were still slight calluses on her palms. When she was gentle, it always seemed to be touched, causing her to shudder.

Very comfortable, itchy to the heart.

Even in such a bad environment, Si Qinglian's body was still as dusty as a fairy, and the faint floral fragrance became strong at such a close distance, invading Xia Ningle's sense of smell. She retracted her hand, but failed, so she could only pretend He said calmly, "Does your Highness feel that the surrounding area is too quiet?"

Si Qinglian let go of her hand when she heard the words. Her hearing was always good. After listening carefully, she said with a strange expression, "It's too quiet." After speaking, she jumped onto the high wall and looked over.

There are corpses in twos and threes lying outside the Song Mansion. These corpses have rotted under the high temperature, and there are flies lingering on them. The silkworm eggs are placed here. There is no horrible hunger cry, no crowded corpse puppets, and it seems too quiet.

"The corpse puppet is gone."

"How come?" Xia Ningle frowned, she saw the ladder/ladder erected on the corner of the wall a few days ago, and climbed up it, and after a closer look, there was no corpse puppet.

He Shikun saw the two climbing up the wall from a distance, he was afraid that Xia Ningle would be bullied, so he also flew up the wall, but the scene in front of him stunned him for a moment, obviously he didn't know what was going on.

The three returned to the ground, all puzzled.

He Shikun was the first to speak: "Didn't there be a cloud hook left on the wall yesterday, Your Highness might as well send someone out to investigate the situation." Anyway, he would not send someone out again even if he was killed.

Si Qinglian's sharp gaze had seen him through, so he ordered Xia'er to check it out. When Xia'er passed by Si Qinglian's side, the two eyes met and exchanged glances. Xia Ningle noticed it and sighed in his heart. The emotion and tacit understanding between Si Qinglian and Four Seasons is also a little bit envious.

In the past, she was basically alone, she didn't care much about the people around her, she was so indifferent that she couldn't even remember their faces, Xia Ningle sighed softly.

At this time, Xia'er climbed the rope and came to the house.

Her eyes searched back and forth, squinting her eyes to look far away, not knowing if she saw anything, she turned back soon.

"Your Highness, there are no corpse puppets."

Si Qinglian frowned: "Really?"

"At a glance, the servant girl saw that the streets were empty and there were only messy corpses. It's strange to say that even if the corpse puppets disappeared overnight, there should be traces." Xia'er was very puzzled.

He Shikun listened to the words and lowered his head in thought, but he didn't notice that Si Qinglian and Xia'er exchanged glances again. Anyway, even if he found out, he probably didn't understand, at least Xia Ningle didn't understand.

"Does General He have an idea?" Si Qinglian asked.

"Since the corpse puppets are not here, I might as well go to a nearby restaurant to bring over the food first." He Shikun was extremely vigilant, "It's just that yesterday/my people were baited by His Highness, and they were frightened, and they haven't recovered until today. God, I'm afraid I can't go out."

"Okay." Si Qinglian readily agreed.

He Shikun was astonished, obviously unexpected, he began to wonder if there were really no corpse puppets outside, in his doubts, Si Qinglian left to pick someone.

He hesitated for a while, and jumped up the wall again. He had thought about the rope at first, but when he looked carefully, there was a slight cut on one end of the rope. Returning to the ground, his eyes fell behind Si Qinglian.

"The servant secretly cut the rope, he should not dare to go there." Xia'er walked half a step slower, her voice could only be heard by a few people nearby.

Xia Ningle wasn't surprised by this, Si Qinglian's heart was turned towards Si Qinglian, naturally thinking of what the master thought, and what the master You worried about.

"So, did you see the corpse puppet?"

Xia Er nodded: "At the corner of the street, there is a faint figure, it should be a corpse, but I don't know why they are crowded in the same corner."

"Interesting." Si Qinglian's eyes turned to Xia Ningle, and when she saw the person bowed her head in silence, she asked, "What does Miss Xia think?"

Xia Ningle was still thinking about the plot, and wanted to find out why the corpse puppet had such a habit, but was interrupted by Si Qinglian, and could only say, "I...I don't know either."

Xia Ningle didn't think about what to do, and answered truthfully, but in Si Qinglian's eyes, it seemed a little perfunctory. She was dissatisfied with this and said, "You really don't know?"

"Your Highness, I really don't know." Xia Ningle felt quite a headache, "Didn't two partitions have already been made, and I will go out with the guards to have a look later."

"With your body, you will only be hindered if you go." Si Qinglian nodded to the 20 people in front, "Go out with me to have a look."

"It's Your Highness."

Even though Si Qinglian still has doubts about Xia Ningle in her heart, she still subconsciously protects her so that she won't be hurt. Xia Ningle actually wants to laugh, laughing that Si Qinglian is a contradictory body, constantly entangled in distress, but That's good too, so that Xia Ningle won't have to think about excuses to deceive people.

Xia Ningle climbed up the wall along the ladder, and watched Si Qinglian lead the guards out of the house under the scorching sun. The team was led by Geng Zhi. Four Seasons wanted to follow, but was left behind. They were the same as Xia Ningle He climbed up the wall, holding the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, and some guards stood guard at the door, guarding the way back for Si Qinglian.

There are six handrails on the partition, and there are six slanted feet at the bottom, which is convenient for the partition to stand on the ground. There are also several holes on the top for observation and shooting. Each partition is eight meters long and two meters high. Carefully lift the partition on both sides.

When they came to the corner of the street, two partitions were put together to block the entrance of the street. Si Qinglian left ten people to watch the way. He went to the restaurant in front of him, but was stopped by Geng Zhi, who insisted on letting him go. , Si Qinglian is a princess and must stay.

Si Qinglian ignored him, and only said: "If the current world is still as peaceful as it used to be, if you go back to the northern border, it will be the same as staying in the imperial city."

Geng Zhi nodded and stayed.

Si Qinglian entrusted him to guard the rear, which is enough to show her trust in him. When Geng Zhi saw her taking ten people to the restaurant, he felt mixed emotions in his heart, and he didn't know how to describe it.

Her footsteps were as light as a cat's. She didn't go to the restaurant immediately. The guard beside her was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, aren't we going to transport food?"

"Shh!"

Si Qinglian signaled them to be quiet. She came to the corner of the street alone, and stuck out the blade. Through the shadow reflected by the blade, she saw a group of corpse puppets huddled together, unwilling to go under the sun, pushing each other. It was nothing. Lively, limp.

Si Qinglian's throat twitched, feeling very dry. Don't say that the corpse puppet doesn't like to stand under the sun, and she doesn't like standing like this, but the corpse puppet is not a human being. Could it be that he is afraid of heatstroke when standing under the sun?

Obviously not.

With doubts in her heart, she withdrew to the door of the restaurant, and looked inside. Good guy, there are still a bunch of corpse puppets walking aimlessly. She raised her hand as a signal, and led people around to the back.

The kitchen is usually at the back. Si Qinglian turned over the wall, but there were no corpses here. When she found the kitchen, the vegetables in it were already rotten, but there were still a lot of durable food such as potatoes and taro, which were all taken away by the guards. Ship it out.

There was also a large vat of rice, which I couldn't take away, so I could only pack it in bags. Si Qinglian focused on several jars of wine. She found a jar of the best aged wine, and returned with a full load.

Seeing that the person was intact, Xia Ningle breathed a sigh of relief. Si Qinglian told Xia Ningle everything she saw and the doubts in her heart, which was regarded as a little bit of trust.

Xia Ningle himself also felt strange, saying: "The corpse puppet may be afraid of high temperature, or ultraviolet rays."

"What is ultraviolet light?"

"It's what the sun has."
