The white smoke was still filling the air, and at the same time, the fresh smell that Chu Tianshu had smelled before, similar to some kind of grass, became stronger and stronger.
Chu Tianshu can now basically conclude that the fresh smell is caused by white smoke, and the white smoke must be related to those man-eating scorpions.
The man in white with dull eyes, as if he was dumbfounded, kept walking forward, even if there was a deep pit full of bones in front of him, his steps did not stop.
Chu Tianshu originally wanted to follow up and have a look, but the increasingly thick white smoke under his feet made him feel uneasy.
He wasn't sure whether there were man-eating scorpions in the white smoke under his feet, but he knew very well that the white smoke was related to man-eating scorpions.
Finally, the man in white fell into the deep pit with a "pop" sound.
At this time, the white smoke under his feet had risen to Chu Tianshu's knees.
The phoenix in the basket behind him seemed a little restless, jumped on Chu Tianshu's shoulder, and started to scream "quacking" again.
Chu Tianshu just wanted to pinch the phoenix's mouth, but before he could move, the phoenix turned around, pointed its butt forward and downward, and let out a loud fart.
A stream of black smoke spurted out from its anus, mixed with fiery sparks.
Wherever the black smoke went, the white smoke at Chu Tianshu's feet seemed to have encountered a nemesis, disappearing quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chu Tianshu was stunned, he didn't expect the phoenix's fart to have such an effect.
Soon, Chu Tianshu could no longer see any white eyes in front of him.
Chu Tianshu then walked forward, ready to check on the man in white just now.
When he came to the edge of the pit, he saw that the white smoke in the pit had almost completely dissipated, and the densely packed man-eating scorpions made Chu Tianshu's scalp numb.
As expected, the man in white was covered with man-eating scorpions, and his face had been eaten away until his original appearance was lost.
Without checking, Chu Tianshu knew that there was absolutely no chance of him surviving.
Chu Tianshu was a little curious, where did the man in white enter the secret passage? Was he originally stupid?
Now that the man in white is dead, there is obviously no answer to this question.
The delay on this trip was already quite long, and Chu Tianshu did not stay any longer and returned directly to the warehouse.
Que'er was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze when she heard the noise behind her and knew that Chu Tianshu was back, so she hurriedly came over to greet him.
Chu Tianshu smiled at Que'er and first restored the entrance to the secret passage to its original state.
He took out the wrapped cooked food from the frame behind him and said to Que'er: "I brought you something to eat. After you finish eating, go back."
He knew very well what kind of virtue the food in the dining hall was. Although it was considered good for a person like Que'er who was used to a hard life, the cooked food that Chu Tianshu brought back from the brothel kitchen was definitely good for Que'er.
A nice improvement from the meal.
Seeing Chu Tianshu go out to do errands and not forgetting to bring her food, Que'er was filled with joy, nodded happily, took the food from Chu Tianshu's hand, and went to the table to eat.
Xiaobai seemed to smell the smell of meat and began to circle around the cage anxiously and scream.
Chu Tianshu ignored it and went to the table to eat with Queer.
Ever since he came to the City Lord's Mansion, he has always been a general, and there is no oil or water in his stomach.
I don't know whether it was because she was being reserved in front of Chu Tianshu, or because she really had a small appetite. Anyway, she stopped after not eating much.
Chu Tianshu said: "Eat some more."
Que'er shook his head: "It's time for me to go back."
Although she was very happy staying at Chu Tianshu's place, she couldn't care less about other people's opinions after all, so what if she didn't go back all night?
Chu Tianshu didn't force it. He wrapped up the remaining cooked food and stuffed it into Que'er's hands: "Take it back and eat it slowly."
Que'er hurriedly refused: "I don't want it."
Chu Tianshu's face darkened and he pretended to be angry: "Are you obedient?"
Que'er pursed her lips: "Okay."
Chu Tianshu said: "I'll take you back."
Que'er nodded: "Yeah."
Chu Tianshu and Que'er came outside. Not far away, Ali, who was squatting in the corner with his hands in his sleeves, stood up.
My legs were a little numb, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Ali stabilized his body and said with a smile: "You can do it, brother, it's long-lasting enough."
Que'er was startled at first, and then quickly realized what Ali meant by "lasting". Her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Ali's eyes.
Chu Tianshu glared at Ali.
Ali waved his hands hurriedly: "Hahaha, just kidding."
He said to Que'er: "Miss Que'er, I just have a bad mouth. I don't mean any harm. Don't be angry."
That means Que'er is Chu Tianshu's woman, otherwise he, the popular person around Jian Zhong, would have no need to apologize to a little girl who just entered the house.
Que'er shook his head and whispered: "It's okay."
He never dared to look up at Ali.
Chu Tianshu said to Ali: "Thank you for your hard work. I will remember this favor. Go back and rest quickly."
"Okay." Ali stretched and breathed, "I'm really tired."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chu Tianshu sent Queer back to his residence, and when he returned to the warehouse, he found that Xiaobai had slipped out of the cage and was gnawing bones with the Phoenix in the basket.
Chu Tianshu walked to the cage and took a closer look. There were traces of melting on the cage due to the high temperature. It was obviously a good thing caused by the Phoenix. Chu Tianshu was speechless.
He hurriedly removed the traces of being burned by the flames on the cage, so as not to let anyone see it and cause unnecessary trouble. There were already enough troubles now.
The two guys had almost eaten all the bones in the basket, with only two left.
While the phoenix was pecking at one of the sticks, Xiaobai quickly picked up the other stick and jumped out of the frame to gnaw on it.
The phoenix ate the bones even faster than the phoenix. It quickly finished its piece and then flapped its wings towards Xiaobai.
Xiaobai pressed his claws on the bones in front of him, bared his teeth and roared at the Phoenix.
Chu Tianshu sneered and folded his arms to watch the fun.
He raised his foot and flicked the phoenix: "Are you cheap? People are snatching food from you, and you let them go."
The phoenix didn't coddle Xiaobai either. When he opened his mouth, a ball of flames spurted out.
Xiaobai was so frightened that he howled and ran into the cage.
The bones on the ground were swept by the flames and instantly burned into a pile of ashes.
