Mingruo's heart skipped a beat. Isn't the water source next to the camp the same river? This river passes through the valley and also flows through the villages downstream. These people must be too crazy!
"First make sure the water source is safe now. It would be best to dig a few wells so that the water will be safer." Ming Ruo held her breath in her chest as she thought that the other party was going to poison the water source, making her breathing difficult.
Si Haochen's expression also became solemn: "Don't worry, there are wells in the heart of the mountain. If we send more people to patrol upstream, there should be no problem."
"There are fish and shrimps in the river. Directly administering deadly toxins will cause mass deaths of fish and shrimps, which will easily attract people's attention. Therefore, they will use poisons with symptoms similar to the 'epidemic', which will be very troublesome."
Mingruo asked the secret guards to take water samples from different locations in the river. After testing, no harmful substances to the human body were found. Mingruo also envisioned several plans, but they were not foolproof, and he could not think of any good solutions for the time being.
Now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, the situation is indeed very passive. But Si Haochen is sure that if the opponent expends so much effort, he will definitely make the next move soon.
"I'm afraid we will have to live in the mountains for the next two days." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek.
"That's all it can do." Only by being close enough can we respond immediately after an incident.
After a simple lunch, Mingruo was assigned to a cave. There was a stone bed inside, a stone table under the vent, and two stone piers...
Although the furnishings are very simple, it can still be seen that this cave has been carefully organized. The stone bed is covered with fur cushions, and the bedding is also very thick. There are also cotton cushions on the stone pillars, and the tea sets on the table are also very exquisite.
It looks like it was fired in an official kiln.
Mingruo picked a handful of mosquito-repellent herbs from the space and made them into a small bunch. Then, she took off her shoes and stepped on the stone table, hanging the herbs at the vent.
As soon as Si Haochen entered the door, he saw the little princess stepping on the table and quickly stepped forward to support her: "If you have anything to do when I come back, don't fall."
Mingruo clapped her hands and turned to look at Si Haochen: "I am taller than you now."
"Yes." Si Haochen lifted the princess off the table with one hand like a child.
Mingruo quickly hugged Si Haochen's neck: "Scared me."
"What are you afraid of? My husband can throw you away?" Si Haochen put Mingruo on the bed and sat down, took the embroidered shoes she took off under the table, half-crouched in front of Mingruo, and carefully put on her shoes.
.
Si Haochen had slender fingers, and Mingruo's shoes looked particularly small in his hands.
Mingruo lowered his eyes slightly, and what came into view was the top of Si Haochen's head and his impeccable profile.
Girls who have heard the story "Cinderella" have imagined that one day a prince will appear and put on glass slippers for themselves.
Mingruo's mood at this time was very subtle, like the last missing piece of a puzzle being put back together perfectly. The person who was expected from the bottom of her heart, but even she didn't know who it was, became real and warm at this moment
.
"What?" Si Haochen raised his head and met a pair of shining eyes.
Mingruo suddenly came closer and kissed Si Haochen's face. It was so handsome to kiss her boyfriend.
Si Haochen was not very satisfied, and kissed her rose-colored lips heavily: "Ruo'er always kisses in the wrong place."
"Hmph, you are a prodigal." Mingruo was instantly caught in the arms of the big bad wolf and given a 'family education'. The big bad wolf said in his own words that he would never lose the reputation of a 'prodigal'.
In order to appease the big bad wolf who was a little out of control, Mingruo also told the big bad wolf the fairy tale "Cinderella".
Unexpectedly, Prince Yun, the steely straight man, had a look of disdain: "It's just a matter of looking for your sweetheart with just one shoe. If you find her, you can't even recognize her face. I'm afraid this prince is a fool." Finally, he concluded, "That woman is the best.
Don't marry him, this kind of prince will be killed by other brothers soon."
"..." Is this the point of the story? Mingruo feels that he must lead his boyfriend to the right path, "My prince is an only son in the family and has no brothers."
"At first glance, he has the brains to become a useless king who will subjugate the country. When the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, it will only be more miserable." Si Haochen has already sentenced the 'Disney Prince' to death.
Mingruo rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless - how unimaginable it was that he had to tell fairy tales to the steel-bellied man.
Si Haochen's lips fell on Mingruo's forehead: "Why does Ruo'er have such an expression? You should be happy. My husband is so smart that he will never mistake someone for him."
"Well, my bamboo horse is still the best." Mingruo suddenly smiled with his eyebrows crooked, and he looked steadily at Si Haochen's eyes with purple pupils, and there was a small reflection of himself in the bright black pupils.
"I'm going to track down the whereabouts of the man in black who infiltrated last night. Just stay here." Si Haochen asked worriedly, "If you want to look around, just bring the secret guards with you, you know?"
"I'll go with you." Although I knew that bringing myself would be a burden, I just didn't trust my boyfriend to go alone. Xikang people are both poisonous and poisonous, so don't be too dangerous.
"The terrain in the mountains and forests is complicated, so I can't take you there." Si Haochen decisively refused.
Mingruo thought that it was really not good for her to depend on her boyfriend the whole time, so she had to give in: "Take me or Linglong, you choose."
"Then I choose Linglong."
"Oh." I am disliked by my boyfriend Hong Guo Guodi!
"I'll be back soon." Si Haochen left quickly. If he didn't leave, he would probably be defeated by that pitiful little look in his eyes again.
"Humph, big bad guy." Mingruo pursed his lips. He took out the half-made sachet from the space, cut it into pieces, and cut the original 'gourd' into an 'egg'. Then, he used the flying needle to trace the threads.
Sew it up.
After searching in the mountains and forests, Si Haochen discovered that when it came to being scouts, all of them together were inferior to this Gu spirit. Originally, no traces could be found, but the Gu spirit led them and chased them deep into the mountains.
.
Si Haochen looked at the cliff not far away. There was a vine growing on the rock wall. This pattern was very similar to the previously destroyed cave full of poison. Si Haochen was basically sure that there must be a cave hidden in the vine.
Entrance.
Si Haochen stopped the secret guard from moving forward, and several of them hid themselves in the canopy of the tree. Linglong rushed forward with great excitement, and Si Haochen said in a deep voice: "Don't scare the grass and scare the snake."
The frequency of Linglong's wings flapping obviously slowed down, and it reluctantly flew towards the 'food storehouse' which had a lot of 'meat' for it but could not be eaten.
Linglong walked around the cave and after figuring out the basic situation, she flew back again, looking like she had been greatly wronged.
Si Haochen held his forehead, his wife hadn't been coaxed yet, why should he coax her pet?
