Chapter 441 Listening to Thunder in a Silent Place
434
The sound of rain was like a swallow, and I spent the whole night in front of the steps under the eaves.
Su Haoyi slept extremely peacefully while holding the quilt, and even had a slight snoring.
At the third hour of Yin, Sima Lantai woke up on time.
He took Su Haoyi into his arms and buried his head in her neck to smell the fragrance.
Su Haoyi had a delicate sweet fragrance on her body, like a stinky smell mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
Su Haoyi showed no sign of waking up at all, and Sima Lantai gently got up and got out of bed.
There is a small blast stove under the base of the window, with a silver trowel the size of a bowl on it.
The silver bone charcoal was lit, and the bright red flames licked the wall of the furnace without a trace of smoke.
The bird's nest that had been soaked last night was stewed under low heat on mountain spring water, and gradually a sweet and warm smell came out.
Since returning to the mountain, Sima Lantai has started to get up early every day to stew bird's nest for Su Haoyi.
Because she was not only hungry and scared in the mountains, but also lost blood.
A lot of vitality is consumed and the physical condition has become weaker. It requires careful care to recover.
Su Haoyi is similar to when he wakes up every day. As usual, he closes his eyes and stretches his body first, and then yawns twice.
He sat up in the quilt and said, "It was raining all night, and it felt very cold at this time."
At this time, the fire on the stove had already been extinguished, just waiting for the bird's nest to cool down.
Sima Lantai brought her robe and put it on her shoulders and said, "Be careful of being blown by the cold wind when you warm up. Wait until you eat the bird's nest before sleeping."
As he said that, he pinched Su Haoyi's wrist, only a thin layer of flesh.
"You don't care whoever you give this bird's nest to stew, why do you have to do it yourself?" Su Haoyi put his face in the palm of his hand.
Such a small face, with delicate eyebrows and eyes that were difficult to describe, Sima Lantai couldn't help but lean over and kissed her on her forehead.
"You should eat more. When you return to the capital, everyone will see you lose weight. They must blame me for not taking good care of you." In fact, Sima Lantai himself felt very distressed.
Su Haoyi was indeed lighter than before, but he did not become ugly, but instead seemed more romantic and graceful.
The waist is as thin as a soft willow, and the jaw is pointed and charming.
"What's this? I have to walk for one or two months on the way back to the capital. I will gain weight by eating and drinking all the way." Su Haoyi was not worried about this at all.
"The bird's nest is ready, let's eat it." Sima Lantai put the bird's nest into a vegetarian white bowl and served it to Su Haoyi: "I will talk after I finish eating."
Su Haoyi took the gold and silver spoon to eat bird's nest. After taking a few bites, he stopped and said, "Why are the bird's nests you stew better than others' stew?"
"There is no difference, but it's all the same method." Sima Lantai pulled a strand of Su Haoyi's hair in front of his forehead and behind his ears.
Su Haoyi looked at Sima Lantai with a curved smile on his eyes: "No matter what others do, they are not as affectionate as the bird's nest you stew!"
These words came from her mouth, both like praise and temptation.
Sima Lantai couldn't help swallowing. This person who was coaxing people probably started practicing soul-grabbing skills from the womb.
Su Haoyi finished eating bird's nest and the rain still continued. She had to sleep every day, and today was no exception.
He rinsed his mouth with warm water and lay back, rubbed his head against the pillow, suddenly remembered the serious matter and said, "I don't know how their interrogation is, but is there any result?"
After hearing this, Sima Lantai said, "I'll go and have a look after breakfast."
But before breakfast was reached, someone came to invite them to the forbidden room. Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai knew something was wrong as soon as they heard it.
He didn't bother to ask too much and quickly went out in a dressy manner.
At this time, it was still drizzling in the sky, wet and cold.
Su Haoyi was wearing a robe when he went out, and he still felt the cool breeze was constantly coming into the underside of his sleeves.
When they arrived at the forbidden room, several masters were there, and their faces were solemn.
"What happened?" Sima Lantai asked several masters for help.
"Duan Hong committed suicide by taking poison in the early morning of this morning." The Sichuan-shaped pattern between Master Shutong's eyebrows seemed to deepen a lot overnight: "I had already carefully searched him when I was detained."
It is impossible for them to not take precautions, and even to be safe, they have changed all the clothes on Duan Hong's body.
"The person who guarded him just turned around," Master Boyun was helpless: "He just took the poison."
People in Xianyuan Mountain are all masters of detoxification, so Duan Hong naturally knows it well, so the poison he takes is something that ordinary people cannot cure.
"Later we found out that poison was placed in the cracks in the bed posts of the bed where he was lying." Shu Tong and his son shook their heads helplessly: "Who would have thought that he had hidden poison in this room in advance?"
"Master, you don't have to blame yourself too much. There are those who have been thieves for thousands of years, but those who have not been thieves for thousands of years. He must have expected that things would be exposed one day. In order to die quickly, he put a pack of poison there in advance." Su said kindly: "It can be seen that he has already made the worst plan."
"Although it has been confirmed that he has indeed committed a crime, there are many details that have not been asked clearly." Master Qingluan was somewhat unwilling to accept it: "Including the identity and whereabouts of the fake Huaya, many clues of his death were cut off."
Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai stood at the door and looked inside. They saw Duan Hong's body lying straight on the wooden bed, and the blood flowing out of his seven orifices had dried up.
"It's over here, and there's no other way." Master Boyun sighed and said, "Let's move his body into the empty house for now, and let it burn after the sky clears!"
Duan Hong went to Xianyuan Mountain to study medicine about forty years ago. He studied hard and was serious and rarely left Xianyuan Mountain.
I have never heard of him getting married and having children, and he often comes and goes alone in his daily life.
Later, I stayed on the mountain and became a master, and this has been done for twenty years.
The masters worked with him, but they never expected that he was an evil ghost in human skin.
If it weren't for this time, Su Haoyi and the others set up a trap to catch him. Everyone still didn't know when they would see his true face clearly.
When leaving the forbidden room, the rain finally stopped falling, but the wind became colder.
Su Haoyi shrank a little, looking at the gray sky, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"What are you thinking?" Sima Lantai asked her softly: "But do you feel unwilling to give up?"
Su Haoyi slowly shook his head and said, "I just thought about Duan Hong's life. In order to get that medical book and treasure, I live a deliberate and conceal every day. I'm afraid that one day will never be happy. Has he ever asked himself if it's worth doing this?"
Sima Lantai didn't say anything because no one could give an answer to this question except Duan Hong himself.
He just took Su's kind-hearted hand and walked forward with her: "Maybe everyone has something that is bound to get, and if you don't get it, you will be worse than death."
"Then do you have it?" Su asked him kindly: "What are you bound to win?"
Sima Lantai did not answer, but just looked at her deeply.
