Chunkui is the oldest and most capable person here. Although she has lived in Jiangnan Chun for many years, she was a ruthless and well-known figure in the world when she was young. What kind of conspiracy and tricks have you not seen before? Most people want to poison her under her nose.
It can be described as an idiot's dream. Now even Chun Kui has not seen when Xia Shang cast the bewitching, and there is no sign at all! How terrifying must Xia Shang be?
Everyone's face was ashen. Although they didn't know what the Gu insect was, the tingling pain in their brains and the feeling coming from their temples were very real. This was definitely not normal! Everyone was sure that they had been infected.
Xia Shang stood up, still smiling, but in the eyes of the girls, his smile was even more eerie than a ghost! They all couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Seeing that everyone seems to understand what happened, let me first popularize the knowledge. Gu insects are alive, they will actively seek out hosts, and do not require human action at all, which is essentially different from poisoning.
So it is normal for you not to know when you are invaded by poisonous insects.
There are many kinds of voodoos, and brain-eating voodoos are just the most common ones. As for what happens to people who are infected by brain-eating voodoos, I don’t need to say more. But there is one thing that everyone should be aware of. All voodoos in the world have it.
It is highly poisonous. If the Gu worm dies in the human body, the person will definitely not survive."
Hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Wouldn't it be hopeless to say so?
"Master! Is there any antidote?" No one is willing to take risks with their own lives, and Chun Kui is no exception. At this time, she is controlled by others and her words are not so arrogant.
"Gu worms are not poison, and there is definitely no antidote. However... there is something called bait that has a certain suppressive effect. Otherwise, in half an hour at most, the worms will eat your brains out of hunger.
"
"Having said so much, let's state your purpose clearly! How to give bait?"
"Boss Chun is the one who understands and knows that I won't say unnecessary words. Let me show my sincerity first." Xia Shang took out a small bag, which contained the light yellow jelly beans prepared by Jiangnan. "Everyone will eat one."
Well, let’s save our lives first.”
Girls, you looked at me and I looked at you, and no longer hesitated, each took one and swallowed it. However, their expressions changed as soon as they swallowed it, and they looked at Xia Shang in surprise.
At this point, Xia Shang's purpose is obvious.
Chun Kui looked at Xia Shang coldly: "You just want to use Gu insects to control us?"
"Don't use unfriendly words like control. After all, I am the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you are affiliated with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am just giving you a reason to perform your duties loyally."
"Despicable villain!" Chunjiao couldn't help but curse, she had never seen such a shameless guy.
"It doesn't matter how you curse me! But one thing must be clear. From now on, I will take over Jiang Nanchun and your life and death. If someone has evil intentions, the brain-eating Gu in her body will not be too friendly to you! I will give it to you
Take one day to accept this reality. After one day, if you accept the reality, send this girl to me to be my personal maid."
With that said, Xia Shang pointed at Chunjiao.
…
Xia Shang was very calm when he returned to Xia Mansion in Yulin County. He concentrated on writing several chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his house and then sent it to the Zhu Family Bookstore.
"Dream of Red Mansions" is the main source of income for Xia Shang and even the entire Xia family. In the short term, the economic benefits are more obvious than that of Wuliangye, so "Dream of Red Mansions" cannot be delayed.
It's just that Xia Shang has been busy lately and has little time to concentrate on writing. I'm going to burn the midnight oil tonight.
It was late at night and Xiaoyue had already fallen asleep. At this time, Xia Shang was used to having his wife by his side to help him undress. Unfortunately, his wife was resting in the Buddhist hall. In the lonely night, the empty room inevitably seemed a little lonely.
Xia Shang was a little tired, so he took off his coat and was about to turn off the lights when he suddenly saw a figure in front of the window.
"who!"
A low shout startled the people outside the window. Xia Shang rushed to the door and was about to chase after him when he saw Liu Ruyan standing at the door wearing pajamas and holding a pot in his hand with a pale face.
"Why is it you?" Xia Shang frowned.
"Master, I..." Liu Ruyan lowered her head timidly, looking a little nervous.
"Were you the person at the window just now?"
Liu Ruyan didn't speak, only nodded. In the dark night, her pure white sleepy clothes were fluttering in the summer wind. Coupled with her pale, pretty face and weak expression, she looked particularly pitiful.
Although it was a summer night, the thin clothes could not withstand the strong wind. Xia Shang hurriedly brought Liu Ruyan into the house and sat down.
Liu Ruyan entered the room and put down the pot in her hand. Before she had time to rest, she saw the messy clothes on the bed and hurriedly went over to tidy them up.
Xia Shang closed the door and came back to see Liu Ruyan's faint back. He opened the soup pot on the table and found that it was still a ginseng and black-bone chicken pot. However, the appearance was different from the one during the day. It was obvious that this was made by his own chef.
The craftsmanship. But the strange thing is that the soup pot is not warm at all and is completely cold.
At this time, Liu Ruyan was packing Xia Shang's clothes and turned around. She saw Xia Shang paying attention to the soup pot. She quickly went to the table to cover the soup pot, dragged it from in front of Xia Shang to her, and covered it carefully, like a
He acted like a child and didn't let Xia Shang look at it more.
"Master, stop looking, the soup is already cold."
Thinking of the figure at the window before, Xia Shang pondered and asked: "How long have you been here? Have you been outside the window?"
Liu Ruyan hesitated to speak, her weak eyes looked elsewhere unconsciously: "No...no."
"A person with your temperament likes to look elsewhere when telling lies."
"Master, I..." Liu Ruyan's face turned red when her thoughts were revealed, and she explained again, "The slave family saw that the young master has been busy and did not dare to disturb them, so..."
"Don't be so cautious, come here and stay next to me." After what happened today, Xia Shang felt a little pity for Liu Ruyan. He believed that this girl was not born like this. It must have been because she had been waiting for a few days after entering the house.
Being treated coldly, I am worried that I will make a mistake, so I become more cautious.
Xia Shang was originally a delicate little girl, but she turned into a frightened little white rabbit after being scared by him.
Soothe the little rabbit's injured heart.
After hearing Xia Shang's words, Liu Ruyan was stunned, like an unexpected surprise. She wanted to move but was embarrassed to do so.
Xia Shang saw him, got up and went to the bedside, took the coat he had just packed, and gently put it on Liu Ruyan's shoulders. Then he sat next to Liu Ruyan, and gently grabbed the other person's small hand, which was cold and cold.
.
Liu Ruyan was shy and wanted to withdraw, but couldn't.
Xia Shang smiled: "Use the soup pot to replace your little hand, otherwise I won't give it to you." (To be continued)
