Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 192
After Li Lijun returned to the main house, just in time for the sunrise, after a wave of practice, he hurriedly changed his clothes, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When she awoke, the sun was already high.

Now the people around her will not disturb her daily work and rest, they will only quietly listen to her movements, and then decide whether to bring in three meals a day.In order to hide other unsuspecting people in the family, Mrs. Shao even arranged all the maids and wives to live in other yards, and only let them work in the main house when needed, and set up another house in the yard He set up a small kitchen and brought in fresh ingredients from the big kitchen in Bieye every day. Cooking for Li Lijun alone could also cover up the fact that she might not eat on time.

This is because Madam Lu left Bieye and went back to the Sui Palace in Chang'an, so they dared to do this, otherwise they would never be able to hide it from Nanny Lu's eyes.In order to conceal the abnormalities in Li Lijun's daily life, everyone also racked their brains.

Therefore, Li Lijun can rest assured that he made up for his sleep during the day before getting up to freshen up.If there was any movement on her side, Erhong heard it, and took a basin, towel and handkerchief into the room to wait on her.

Erhong's eye circles were red, as if she had just cried.Li Lijun was a little worried when she saw it, so she asked her: "What's wrong with you? Has anyone scolded you?"

"No, no one scolded me." Erhong turned her head away, and answered forcefully.

As soon as Li Lijun heard it, she knew that she was angry with him, and she became more and more confused: "I made you angry?"

Erhong took a deep breath, turned her head and glared at Li Lijun bitterly, took away the washbasin towel she had used, and ran back in a short while with the black round-neck robe she had replaced. The big mouth on the bed pointed out to her: "Where did the little lady go last night? Even the clothes were torn! The servant can see clearly that the clothes are still stained with blood! The little lady was injured, and even Keep it from me! If I hadn’t discovered the hole in the clothes in time, would the little lady still plan to not tell me a word?!”

Li Lijun blinked, rubbed his nose and said, "Oh, so that's what happened. Actually, I didn't suffer any injuries, just a little skin on my arm, and I'm fine now. I felt too sleepy after I came back, so I went to bed first Don't tell me that I didn't bother to tell you? I didn't intend to hide it from you, but I didn't have time to tell you."

As she spoke, she pulled up her sleeve and let Erhong see the wound on her left arm. In fact, it was almost healed. There was only a half-foot-long red mark left, which was still slightly swollen. It's a small injury, and it will be fine after two days of applying the medicine.She doesn't feel any pain now.

Erhong felt that the little lady must be in pain.She held Li Lijun's left arm and looked at it for a long time, and she was so distressed that she almost didn't shed tears: "How did this hurt? The little lady has grown so big, except for asking San Niangzi to push it down the rockery. I've never seen such a long wound on your body!"

Li Lijun thought about it, and decided to reveal a little bit of the truth: "Didn't I tell you that we live under the Wutai Peak of Saga Mountain, and there is a toad monster on the Sitai Peak, which is poisonous and can eat people? That monster snake was defeated by it at the beginning, and was seriously injured before being stabbed to death by my sword. This toad stays on top of our heads, and goes down the mountain from time to time to eat people, in case it gets eaten in our other industry someday , I don’t know how many people will suffer. So I thought, now that winter is coming, the weather is cold, and when the toad usually hibernates, I can kill it, and I won’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Erhong took a breath, and asked in a low voice: "That day, the young lady asked how the two missing people in the village over at Ertai disappeared, and what the monster that swept them away looked like. She was just asking about this monster? Those two people Is it what it eats?!"

Li Lijun sighed: "I did find the clothes of two people in the cave where the toad lived, but I didn't find the bones. I guess this toad is the monster that made trouble."

Er Hong's face turned pale with fright: "Such a powerful monster, the little lady ran to kill it alone without saying a word?! What if something happens?!" She looked at the scar on Li Lijun's left arm again. Scars, "This... was injured by that monster? Isn't it poisoned? The little lady was poisoned?!"

Seeing her panic-stricken look, Li Lijun quickly comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid. The monster has been killed by me, and it can't die anymore. This injury was my negligence, and it was scratched by its tongue, but I have a protective amulet on my body, and I wear a small body armor inside, so there is no serious injury, it was just a bit of a skin break. I have already taken medicine, and the toxins have been cleaned up, and nothing has happened now. Next I'll just rest for two days and apply the medicine for another two days to make sure that there won't be even a trace left."

Only then did Erhong feel relieved: "It's fine if the monster is dead, it's fine if it's dead..." But she was relieved, and she couldn't help but criticize Li Lijun again, "Although the little lady is powerful, she can't do anything at all." Don't tell us. Although the slave is useless and has no ability to help the little lady kill monsters, but at least she knows how to serve people. The little lady is tired after she comes back. Let the slave do all the small things like changing clothes and applying medicine. The slave I know that the little lady is strong and has great abilities, but she doesn't have to carry everything by herself, and occasionally ask the servant to help!"

Li Lijun laughed when he heard that, and said softly: "This time I was wrong, I shouldn't have kept it from you. I will definitely not do it again next time." Then, before Erhong was about to speak again, she pointed at the A round-neck robe with a torn hole said, "I really have something to ask you to do now. This robe is very good for me. It is easy to move around and inconspicuous. It is suitable for going out at night, but it is a pity that it is broken and cannot be replaced. Wear it. Erhong make another one for me? By the way, take this old one and burn it with fire.” She wasn’t sure if the toad’s venom was on the robe, or if it had been burnt clean.

Erhong agreed immediately: "No problem, just leave it to the slave! Then according to this size, the slave will make two more clothes for the little lady? It is also convenient for changing and washing. But it is winter now, and the single robe is not warm enough. , I will make you a winter coat, and sew a layer of fur lining inside the clothes, shall I? The little lady likes sheepskin or fox fur? Mammy Cui has a lot of high-quality furs there."

Li Lijun waved his hand: "I don't need any fur. You finish the clothes first, and I'll embroider runes on them later. It's warm enough to wear in a single robe, and you don't need to get any animal fur. It smells bad." She thought for a while, "Send someone to the eastern and western cities to inquire, but there is a kind of flower called Baidizi from Gaochang, which looks like a ball of white silk. If there are, buy some flowers and seeds and come back." , I am useful."

She was also confused. After coming back for such a long time, she didn't even remember that there was such a thing as cotton.Sure enough, practitioners have been doing it for a long time, and they are not afraid of cold and heat, so they have a distance from the lives of ordinary people.But she doesn't need cotton, so can the people around her!Zhao Chenji's weaving workshop also has ready-made weavers!

Li Lijun looked up at Erhong, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a sweet smile: "Let's find another free day, get everyone together to talk, and test your spiritual roots. If someone can practice, It’s good to be an arm for me. In the future, I will go out to eliminate demons, so I don’t have to worry about not having a helper!”
