deadly mantra

Chapter 501: You are planted here

It was nearly night.

Hearing the knock on the door, Feng Xiaoyao put on her outer robe and went to open the door.

Bao Simu stood outside the gate of Qingyi Garden, his face full of exhaustion, his head aching abnormally due to lack of sleep in recent days, and he asked in a hoarse voice:

"Did Chanyi sleep? I'll rub the bed."

Before Feng Xiaoyao could react, Bao Simu had already walked in on his own.

"Doctor Mu has gone to bed early. If you want to sleep, why don't you just go home?" Feng Xiaoyao closed the door and strode after him, feeling faintly uneasy.

Hearing this, Bao Simu frowned and subconsciously avoided the question:
"Feng Xiaoyao, do you remember Jiang Shan?"

"...Huh?" Feng Xiaoyao's expression became unnatural.

Bao Simu didn't notice. She looked up at the bright moon and took a deep breath. She felt that her recent state was terrible.

Jiang Shan, a blacksmith from a blacksmith shop on Fengshan Street, whose body was just found outside the city.

The Good Sword Alliance has many contacts with the blacksmith shop, and her father is busy with family matters and can't get away. As the eldest daughter of the Good Sword Alliance, it's time for her to fulfill her responsibilities.

She took people to the blacksmith shop and expressed her condolences in a symbolic way. She also looked at the body and found that it was a single blow and the perpetrator was a rare expert.

On the way home, she took a detour to Huang Leiming's home to visit the unlucky prisoner who was ambushed on his way out of prison.

She arrived a step late. Half an hour ago, a group of men in black broke into Huang Leiming's house and knocked Mrs. Huang unconscious.It is said that those people were ruthless, accurate and fast.Liao San wanted to escape, but they broke one of his legs and dragged him away.

"...Baozi? Baozi, are you listening to me? Hey, can you still hold on? Why is your face so ugly?" Feng Xiaoyao frowned worriedly.

Bao Simu's pupils flickered suddenly, he came back to his senses in a daze, and looked at Feng Xiaoyao blankly:

"Wha, what?" Feng Xiaoyao frowned even more tightly and managed to say:
"You need rest."

"...Oh." Bao Simu nodded unconsciously and took two more steps forward, looking towards the main room unconsciously.

Knowing that Shui Qingchen has not come back yet, but just looking at the place where he lived, it seems that he can draw a little bit of strength from the breath he left behind.

Feng Xiaoyao turned sideways without leaving a trace, blocking her sight:
"Doctor Mu went to bed early, and there is still a guest room available, right next to me. Can you... do it?"

Bao Simu's eyes that lit up for a moment dimmed again, and he smiled faintly, a little lonely:

"……it is good."

morning.

In the dim light of morning, Ji Fanyin was sitting on a rocking chair under a tree next to a waterfall, but her eyes were fixed on a corner of the wall.

A newly transplanted pearl plum plant was planted there, swaying gently in the breeze.

The white petals flew away from the treetops with the wind and fell into Ji Fanyin's open palm.

When Feng Xiaoyao led Bao Simu over, she saw exactly this scene - a pearl plum tree, and Ji Fanyin smiled sweetly.

The right corner of Feng Xiaoyao's mouth twitched and she forced a smile. When she looked back, she saw that Bao Simu's face was extremely ugly:
"Uh...you listen to my explanation."

Bao Simu didn't look at Feng Xiaoyao and strode over with a stiff expression:
"Do you have to stab me face to face at a time like this?"

Feng Xiaoyao chased after him and explained in a panic:
"No, it's not, Baozi, don't get me wrong, we picked up that pearl plum outside the city."

Bao Simu clenched his fists tightly, his body was shaking uncontrollably with anger, and he growled:
"I took people and threw them out of the city!! Do you know what kind of mood I had to get rid of those dirty things! And you, what kind of mood did you have to pick them up and plant them here? Yes! Why was it planted here! It was planted here! It was planted in Shui Qingchen’s yard!”
