How should I put it, the current situation seems... a bit strange.
Sitting on his knees by the fire, Zhao Hongrun observed the pair of sisters surnamed Mi calmly.
The two sisters also sat around the fire.
Among them, the one kneeling to the left of Zhao Hongrun is the younger sister Mi Rui. This little girl is so careless that she is almost stupid. She is sitting on her knees with her head curled up. She often secretly looks at her sister's face, drooping.
My head was pounding and I didn't dare to speak for a while.
Opposite Zhao Hongrun, the seemingly aloof witch, the elder sister of the sisters, was looking at the dancing flames with some confusion at the moment. After a long time, she glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and then she sighed silently with her thoughts incomprehensible.
This situation seems strange no matter how you look at it.
"Gu"
The strange sound coming from his belly interrupted Zhao Hongrun's thoughts. He glanced at the beast being roasted on the fire, saw the sizzling meat oil slowly dripping into the fire, and smelled the beast.
The alluring fragrance made me feel a strong sense of hunger rushing into my heart.
"Girl, do you have a knife for cutting meat?"
"I'm not calling you girl!" Perhaps because she was afraid of the expression on her sister's face, the little witch Mi Rui didn't even dare to talk back to Zhao Hongrun. After muttering in a low voice, she took out a handful from the bag on her waist.
The knife was handed to Zhao Hongrun.
Just...give it to me directly?
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and handed over the knife with a strange expression.
The knife was very short, only the length of a hand, and the blade was just over an inch long after the handle was removed. It was like a knife specially used for cutting meat.
…
Zhao Hongrun looked at the knife for a few times, and then carefully cut off a piece of meat from the skewer. Because it was too hot, he only had to wrap it with his sleeve.
After waiting for a while and blowing, he tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Is there any salt?"
Zhao Hongrun asked.
The little witch Mi Rui took out a small jar from the cloth bag angrily.
Zhao Hongrun took the bamboo can and inspected it carefully. After all, this girl was really stupid, and he didn't want him to rashly open the lid of the bamboo can, and a disgusting and infiltrating unknown insect suddenly sprang out of it.
Fortunately, after receiving the lesson just now, Mi Rui will not make such mistakes again for the time being. The jar she handed to Zhao Hongrun was indeed filled with lumpy coarse salt.
Zhao Hongrun picked up a small piece of coarse salt with his right hand, crushed it and then lightly dried it on the cut piece of meat.
Not to mention, with salt as a seasoning, the barbecue immediately became more delicious, which greatly increased Zhao Hongrun's appetite.
The situation inside the house must be said to be a bit strange.
As a hostage, Zhao Hongrun cared and ate her own flesh. She ate her own flesh, but the two witches who held her hostage, who were originally enemies, turned a blind eye to his actions.
They didn't even care that Zhao Hongrun was holding the knife.
Are you looking down on me, thinking that I can't hurt them even if I hold a sharp weapon in my hand, or... or is it for some other reason?
Zhao Hongrun was thinking about it while chewing the barbecue.
After thinking about it, he asked abruptly: "Girl, from the looks of you, it seems that you have given up on killing me?"
Mi Rui pouted and said in a depressed voice, "To harm you now is to harm my sister..."
"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Is it because of that green Gu?"
"Well." Mi Rui said dullly, "If you die, my sister will die too..."
At this point, she seemed to have noticed something, and subconsciously turned to look at her sister, only to see her sister looking at her coldly, with eyes full of anger, depression, sadness and helplessness, which made Mi Rui
When he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong again, Zhao Hongrun felt even more pity for her.
The legendary "Pig Teammate"... As an enemy, he is a very reliable existence...
While secretly laughing, Zhao Hongrun was determined.
I remember that just now, what he was most worried about was whether the sisters would kill them in anger when the coercion failed. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun then brought out an army of 80,000, and the four kingdoms attacked Chu and so on.
Threaten them.
But now after listening to Mi Rui's words, he relaxed completely and ate the barbecue leisurely, looking at the sisters in the room as if they were joking.
Look at what a farce this incident will end in.
Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun heard a faint word.
"I feel I can feel at ease even before I meet you..."
"..." Zhao Hongrun raised his head after hearing this, and happened to see the cold witch opposite looking at him with a complicated expression.
And the words just now came from her mouth.
She seemed to have seen through the thoughts in Zhao Hongrun's mind at this moment, and whispered: "If you knew what kind of Gu worm Green Gu is, you would no longer think that you have escaped..."
Looking at her calm and calm expression, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel nervous, because he felt that the other party didn't seem to be lying.
"Girl, what does Green Gu do?"
Hearing Zhao Hongrun call her a girl, Xi Rui looked at Zhao Hongrun angrily, but because her sister was on the verge of anger at the moment, she did not dare to make a mistake.
But at this moment, the cold witch said calmly: "Sister, tell him."
After receiving her sister's pardon, Mi Rui glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a superior look, hummed and said: "Listen carefully, the green poison is a poison that we witches feed with their own blood. If you give it to Xinmu,
A man, that man will slowly fall in love with the witch who bewitched him, and he will only love her for the rest of his life..."
How can a bug distort a person's emotions?
"Absurd!" Zhao Hongrun curled his lips and said.
Mi Rui was angry at being interrupted by Zhao Hongrun, and said angrily with a swollen face: "How can ordinary people know the power of witchcraft! ... Don't look at your harsh words now, it won't be long before you fall in love with my sister, huh
, what does that saying mean, one day without seeing you is like three autumns..."
"Really or not?" Zhao Hongrun felt doubly amused when he looked at her confident look.
"It's absolutely true!" Mi Rui seemed to be unable to bear the slightest doubt from others, and said with certainty: "According to legend, no man can survive the green poison of our witch..."
"It's just a legend, it can't be taken seriously." Zhao Hongrun didn't believe it at all.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, you will realize it gradually..." At this point, Xi Rui seemed to suddenly think of something very important, and quickly warned: "There is one thing you have to remember, you have won the prize now."
My sister’s green gu. I can’t have anything to do with other women in the future...that’s it..."
"Which one?"
"It's just..." Xi Rui's face turned red, she fiddled with her fingers with both hands, and said shyly: "It's just... it's just a matter of persuasion."
"Have sex?" Zhao Hongrun teased her deliberately.
When Mi Rui heard this, her whole face turned red and she nodded dully.
Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this and asked, "What if I have sex with another woman in the future?"
"Then you will be eaten by the green Gu, your heart will be eaten away, your intestines will be rotten, and you will die." At this point, Mi Rui was a little disappointed, and looked at Zhao Hongrun nervously and said: "And if you die, my sister will also die.
die……"
When one person dies, will another person be implicated?... What a ridiculous pseudo-scientific theory!
Zhao Hongrun shook his head in disbelief.
Seeing that he didn't take her advice seriously, Xi Rui felt anxious and said quickly: "I didn't lie to you. You will never touch other women in the future. You can only marry my sister and have children..."
"That's enough!" The cold witch heard this and stopped her sister with some shame and anger, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to explain to him in such detail."
Zhao Hongrun was stunned as he saw a faint blush appear on the face of this cold-looking witch.
It is undeniable that the beauty of this contrast is quite attractive.
Perhaps because she noticed that Zhao Hongrun was looking at her intently, the aloof witch turned her head unnaturally and said calmly: "Anyway, it's up to you to believe it or not." After that, she glanced at Zhao Hongrun and said in the same indifferent tone as before: "
Eat quickly, and when you're full, you can leave."
Walk?
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this and asked in surprise: "You mean...let me go back?"
"..." The cold witch didn't say anything, she acquiesced.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was surprised and asked curiously: "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Aren't you trying to force me to return the city of Chu to you?" At this point, he glanced at the cold witch and seemed to have some understanding.
He nodded.
The cold witch seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said calmly: "Do you think I let you go because I care about my life? No, it's just not necessary... The power of green Gu is not something you can understand unless you wait.
How long will it take for you to obey my words? At that time, it will be easy for you to return my city of Da Chu... Therefore, there is no need to coerce you anymore."
…
Looking at the other party's confident expression, Zhao Hongrun was surprised and suspicious.
He couldn't help but start to think wildly: Could what she said be true? Otherwise, why would she let me go so easily? But this thing... is really too weird.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongrun suddenly said in a deep voice: "In fact, I did not deceive you. A few days ago, I signed an armistice treaty with Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, and Huang Er. As for Yang, who hates the Wei people.
Why did Xiong Tuo, the king of the city, sign the peace treaty? It's because we, the Wei Dynasty, have reached an agreement with Qi State and obtained an alliance. Therefore, Chu State has to give in... After the beginning of spring, your Chu State will successively use the money to compensate our country.
The materials that Wei lost in this battle will be delivered to us. When the time comes, I will order the return of all the cities and order the 80,000 troops under his command to slowly withdraw from the territory of your Chu State."
"Really?" Mi Rui looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun was too lazy to pay attention to this stupid girl who was just causing trouble, and just looked at the cold witch with calm eyes.
The cold witch looked deeply into Zhao Hongrun's eyes, sighed slightly for a long time, and whispered: "Maybe what you said is true, but... there is no cure for green poison."
…
Zhao Hongrun's face froze when he heard this. The reason why he stated the facts again was simply because he wanted the other party to get rid of the green poison. After all, having that evil thing in his body made him feel creepy.
However, the cold witch's words ended his hope.
"Eat quickly. When you are full, I will take you back to Zhengyang."
After saying this, the cold witch slowly closed her eyes.
Zhao Hongrun seemed to be able to feel her helpless and confused mood at this moment from her expression.
Could it be... is it true?
Chewing the barbecue in his mouth, Zhao Hongrun suddenly felt that the barbecue that was so delicious just now tasted like crap. (To be continued.)
