After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 333 Eavesdropping Again

Yao Shouning returned to the house, and the composure on his face suddenly disintegrated.

A gust of hot air rushed straight to the top of her head, and she always felt that her cheeks were on fire, very hot.

She used the back of her cold hand to press her cheeks to cool down, thinking that her son might have heard what Mallow had said before, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to get in.

Everyone in the room was still talking, she lifted the curtain and entered the room, her face was blushing:

"Mom, what are you talking about! Shizi didn't leave just now, so he may have heard it!"

Seeing her daughter becoming angry from embarrassment, Mrs. Liu was very surprised.

Until now, Yao Shouning seemed to be a little shy like a girl, and he was no longer as calm as before.

"What's the matter?" She glanced at her daughter with a smile and said:

"It's not shameful to like Shizi, why can't you say it?" What's more, Liu Shi also saw some clues today, Shizi also seems to have intentions for her.

One is affectionate and the other is intentional, "Isn't it a good thing that men are unmarried and women are unmarried?"

The more Liu thought about it, the more she felt that she was a good match. At first, she wanted to tease her daughter, but later she said seriously:

"The eldest son is about the same age as you. Although the family background is a bit higher, the eldest princess and your grandfather have a fellowship and take good care of us. She is not a person who pushes high and flatters low."

In addition, Lu Wuji's character is upright, and his family style is also very good.

Liu Shi turned to her father and said:

"I've also inquired about it. General Lu did not take concubines. He is devoted to the eldest princess. It can be seen that the general's mansion is very upright."

As soon as her words fell, Yao Shouning should have been ashamed, but he couldn't help feeling a little funny when he heard this.

She thought of Zhu Hengrui, Kong Wu's powerful figure, if General Lu's character is not good, she might be repaired by her...

"The son's character is also very good, he has saved my life, and now that he has found our master, he is perfect for Shouning—"

"Mom!" Yao Shouning stamped his feet and shouted anxiously.

At the same time, he subconsciously turned his head to look outside the house, fearing that Lu Zhi would kill his carbine and hear these things.

"What are you in a hurry for?" Liu said a little funny,

"Didn't you like Shizi in the first place? At the beginning, it was my mother who was not good, and I only knew how to object. Now that I see clearly, I won't stop you anymore."

"I—" Yao Shouning hesitated to speak. At that time, she said that she liked the son, and there was a reason for it. When she said it, she had no idea that it would cause the current misunderstanding.

Seeing her sister's embarrassed face, Yao Wanning couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling secretly.

After today's floods, insect robbery, people coming from the palace, Yao Hui's serious injury, etc., the Yao family should have a heavy atmosphere, but they didn't expect that the mention of Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning made everyone feel a lot more relaxed, as if temporarily throwing away their troubles. side.

"Oh." Liu Shi sighed:
"If it wasn't for this catastrophe, I would have asked the Eldest Princess what she meant."

She also said this yesterday, but when she said it, it was mainly because of Mrs. Wen Wen, but at this time, Mrs. Liu really had such thoughts.

When the disaster was mentioned, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded away.

"I don't know when the flood will recede."

Floods came together, insects came again, monsters appeared frequently, even Liu Shi felt something was wrong.

After the catastrophe, there will be a large number of refugees, and the city of God may be even more chaotic.

Liu Shi thought of Yao Hui who was seriously injured, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

"Things will always pass, and there will always be light after darkness." Liu Bingzhou broke the silence, glanced at Yao Shouning, and said with a smile:
"Everyone do their own thing well, Yu'er restrains her family, don't go out casually these days."

Liu Shi nodded and responded.

Yao Ruoyun mentioned her father again, he was seriously injured, with multiple fractures on his body, and he still hasn't woken up yet.

Now that the flood has not receded, the city of God is in chaos, and after the swarms appeared, doctors are not easy to invite.

But fortunately, the people from the General's Mansion took this into consideration when they sent Yao Hui back. They had already treated his injuries and prepared the medicinal materials. All he had to do was wait for the rest of the time.

A lot happened that day.

Unidentified blood-sucking mosquitoes appeared in various parts of the city of God, but as long as these swarms appeared in large numbers, golden birds would follow and devour these strange mosquitoes, forming a strange story.

But despite the presence of these birds, some refugees were still bitten by mosquitoes.

This kind of mosquito is extremely poisonous, and the people who were bitten were swollen and painful at first, but fell into a coma within half an hour. The gates of the major medical centers in the city were crowded with people, and the wailing and crying were louder than when the flood came last night. .

When the people complained, Gu Huanzhi, the prime minister of the country, announced the decree of Emperor Shenqi, saying that the emperor had received the advice of an immortal in his dream. As long as each family prepared firewood, strong wine, and lit a torch, the mosquitoes could be driven away.

Zheng Shi wiped the sweat from his brow, and came back to deliver the outside news to Liu Bingzhou.

When he mentioned Gu Huanzhi's words, his face was a little indignant.

The method of repelling mosquitoes was clearly presented by Liu Bingzhou, but Emperor Shenqi kept it for himself, claiming that it was guided by the immortals.

The successive catastrophes shattered the prestige of Emperor Shenqi, and many people were dissatisfied. There were many rumors in the market, all saying that "the emperor is not benevolent, and the heavens have committed crimes." '

"It doesn't matter." Liu Bingzhou shook his head, he didn't care about the deprivation of credit.

He has lived to this age, and he has already seen through fame and fortune, and he doesn't care who the people will pursue in their hearts.

"Grandfather, are you worried?"

Yao Shouning saw that Liu Bingzhou's eyebrows were furrowed and his face was worried, so he couldn't help asking.

Logically speaking, the situation has gradually improved. The catastrophe of the flood has temporarily passed, and there is a way to disperse the monster mosquitoes. The most important thing is that Yao Hui woke up in the evening-this is the great fortune among misfortunes.

The doctor said that Yao Hui's body is strong, as long as he can wake up, he will be fine.

Under such circumstances, Yao Shouning didn't understand why Liu Bingzhou still looked worried.

"Yes." In front of his family, Liu Bingzhou did not hide his inner worries, nodded and sighed:
"Shou Ning'er, in this world, it's not that there is a solution, that is, it is the best of both worlds."

He smiled wryly:

"Many people have no roof tiles to cover themselves, no cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, and it is windy and rainy at this time. Some people may not even be able to afford firewood, let alone buy spirits to repel mosquitoes?"

Even though they know that mosquitoes are highly poisonous and their lives are in danger after being bitten, many people may not be able to afford the money to buy firewood and wine.

As soon as his words fell, everyone was silent for a moment.

Yao Shouning was taken aback.

She has been controlled by the Liu family since she was a child. In her previous perception, she felt that the most miserable thing was that she couldn't go out to play, and she couldn't read the script at home, but she didn't expect that there would be many people, and even survival would be a big problem.

The girl thought of the souls of thousands of people in the sea of ​​bitterness she saw in the underground dragon veins, and felt heavy in her heart for a moment.

She said a little naively:

"Then can we discuss with the eldest princess to help these people?"

Before the disaster came, the Yao family got the news in advance and stockpiled a batch of rice and other things. When she spoke, she turned to look at Mrs. Liu, but she also nodded her head and said:

"Our family can also donate some surplus food to help the victims."

"A drop in the bucket." Liu Bingzhou shook his head and said:

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Shendu City, unless the imperial court comes forward." But even if the imperial court has intentions, it can't hold back people who are full of private pockets.

What's more, from Liu Bingzhou's point of view, Emperor Shen Qi was narrow-minded and not a benevolent person.

He is devoted to cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, and he doesn't care about the life and death of the people at all. It is not easy to get food from him.

Liu Bingzhou first glanced at his daughter, then at Yao Shouning who showed sympathy.

Yao Ruoyun and Yao Wanning were both a little worried, which showed that these children were very sympathetic.

He smiled and said:
"It's okay to donate food. If we can't finish eating, we can help others, but it's best to leave it to the eldest princess, and let her come forward."

Since the Yao family was already on the cusp of the storm, it was absolutely impossible to steal the emperor's limelight at this time.

But it is also impossible to hand things over to the government, otherwise it may not be able to fall into the hands of the victims in the end.

Only the eldest princess is the most reliable. She and Lu Wuji are powerful and upright, so they can properly handle this matter.

Mrs. Liu nodded, and replied: "I will discuss this matter with the eldest princess when the water recedes."

……

This day was extremely long, and with Liu Bingzhou's protection, no major incidents occurred in Shendu City for the time being.

During this day, the eldest princess forcibly took control of the rice and grain business in the city, selling rice and wine at extremely low prices.

Some people are rushing to buy food, but few people care about drinks.

Under the disaster, money became extremely precious. Although Gu Huanzhi had already mentioned the disaster of mosquitoes, more people thought that those gorse that suddenly appeared and devoured mosquitoes were the blessings of heaven, and did not take this blood mosquito Gu seriously.

As soon as the second day came, the power of the inscription disappeared, and more poisonous mosquitoes appeared than yesterday, attacking the capital city of God, and a large number of people were attacked.

However, the golden bird that the people expected to appear never appeared again, causing many people to fall into panic.

In the evening of that day, a large number of people's symptoms worsened, and the places where the mosquito bites festered and pus, and had the effect of infecting people. Some people who were weak could not survive the cold night.

Rumors abounded in the city, and some people rumored that the emperor was benevolent and Daqing was about to end.

Refugees from all over the country began to loot, causing panic.

Since the incident happened, Liu Bingzhou kept frowning tightly and never let go.

Yao Shouning could tell that his grandfather was blaming himself.

He may be uneasy because he changed history without authorization, and took all the sins of the chaos in this city on himself.

She thought of the deceased Master Jingqing, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart. Just as she was about to speak out to comfort her, she suddenly saw a red light in the corner of Su Miaozhen's eyes.

This cousin, who had been low-key and silent since the quarrel with Yao Shouning the day before yesterday, suddenly raised her head. Red fluff appeared on her face, her round pupils overlapped with her eyes, and she turned towards the door.

someone is coming!

Yao Shouning had such a thought in his heart, and then he heard someone shouting outside:
"Grandpa."

Yao Shouning was turning his head when he heard someone striding into the hall from outside, the sound of 'tick-tick' water falling on the ground, and as Fengchun raised the curtain, a gust of cold air poured into the room.

Zheng Shi, wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, was standing at the door. Behind him was the dark sky, and the rain fell into puddles making a sound.

It's still early, but the daylight hours are very short recently, and it's already dark at the end of Shenshi (around [-]:[-] p.m.).

Liu Bingzhou seemed not surprised by Zheng Shi's arrival, he just asked:
"Are there any guests?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Yao family was stunned.

Now that the flood has not completely receded, there are still monster mosquitoes everywhere in the city, and the city is eerily quiet at night, who would come here at this time?

The corner of Yao Shouning's eyes fell on Su Miaozhen's face, and then she heard the fox demon's voice:

"Gu Hou's life in the palace is dying, and he urgently needs a pill to save his life."

"Liu Bingzhou has a purple pill made by Emperor Shenqi in his hand. It is very precious. Emperor Shenqi believes that this pill can save Gu Hou's life."

Yao Shouning's heart tightened, and he was about to turn his head, but saw that the fox demon had turned his eyes and stared at her at some point, and opened and closed his sharp mouth:

"Help Liu Bingzhou offer alchemy to enlighten the emperor, the task is completed, you can get a 'unfeeling invitation'."

"Unkind request?"

Su Miaozhen's voice sounded immediately, Yao Shouning was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Liu Shi and the others.

Liu Shi turned her head to one side, and her eyes fell on Zheng Shi, as if curious about who the visitor was after nightfall.

Yao Wanning was also staring outside, the family didn't notice what Su Miaozhen said at this time, Yao Shouning immediately realized that it should be the 'voice' from his cousin's heart.

She was a little surprised for a while.

I don't know if it's because of my strength improvement, or because I'm too curious to resonate with my cousin's inner doubts, but she can 'hear' the conversation between Su Miaozhen and Yaohu, that's the best thing.

"What is an 'unkind request'?"

When Su Miaozhen asked, her tone was a little cautious.

The fox king of the sky demon clan took her soul that day, and after living with her, she seemed to have a certain resistance to the bewitching technique of this demon fox.

After suffering losses several times in a row, she lost her mind because of greed without hearing the reward, and instead asked more.

"'Unfeeling request' means that you make a request in the future, even if it is too harsh, there is a possibility of success." Yaohu grinned, "The more unreasonable, the higher the chance of success."

"Of course—" it changed its voice, echoing again and again:

"Everything is fair. If you ask for something, you must pay for it. The bigger and unreasonable the thing you ask for, the deeper the price you will pay after you succeed."

Su Miaozhen was silent for a moment without making a sound.

The demon fox lowered his voice and asked her:
"Are you afraid?"

"Hee hee hee hee—" There was a piercing and sharp laughter, and amidst the red mist, Su Miaozhen's expression was cloudy.

"Think about it, it's just a matter of going with the flow, and you've got a chance for a fair deal. What do you have to lose?"

On Su Miaozhen's face, the red fox shadow flickered, making her look very strange.

She hesitated for a while, and was not tempted by the demon fox for the first time, but asked cautiously:

"Can the emperor's elixir really save Gu Hou's life?"

'Ha ha ha ha! '

The laughter sounded again, and the demon fox said:

"Who knows? It might make Gu Hou take tango medicine to cure his illness—" It paused, then grinned again:
"Of course, it is also possible to take Dan and die immediately."

'hiss! '

Hearing this, Yao Shouning couldn't help but gasp in his heart, he didn't expect that the elixir given to Liu Bingzhou by Emperor Shenqi that day had such a choice of life or death.

Afraid that she would look strange, she quickly changed her sitting position, and looked out pretending to be curious, and at the same time reached out and rubbed her arms, as if she was a little cold.

Mrs. Liu turned her head, and seeing her daughter shrinking, she quickly asked Fengchun to take a cloak and put it on for her to keep out the cold.

Yaohu, who was 'talking', turned his head and looked at Yao Shouning with suspicion.
