Chapter 357 Consolation Shang Gong (Part [-])
After entering the house, Song Gu asked in a low voice, "The wounds on your body just now were bitten by those snakes?"

Wu Chen nodded.

The second year of high school quickly said: "Xing Yun saw that your wounds healed on their own. He was shocked at the time and asked us if we saw it. We both said we didn't see it, because he was dazzled."

Wu Chen shrunk into a ball and said, "It doesn't matter, I can't hide this matter. I just said that I was bitten by a snake in the snake nest below, but I didn't have a single wound on my body. It doesn't make sense! If you know it, you will know it. bad."

Just as the sophomore was about to speak, Xing Yun pushed open the door and said, "I'll go back to the palace."

Gao Er stared: "Why do you want to run?"

Xing Yun ignored the sophomore, turned around and left.

Song Gu asked worriedly: "Will that thing come out again suddenly?"

"I don't think...for the time being, it won't be able to stand the ice water and cold wind. Those people are sure about this, so they do it in winter."

At this time, several government servants brought charcoal pots and hot tea, and said respectfully: "The hot water will be ready in a while."

Wu Chen watched the yamen servant retreat, squatted down beside the charcoal basin to warm up the fire and said:

"No wonder those people didn't succeed for so long. It took them some time to find a way to find the underground structure. After finally finding out, they found out that there was such a thing guarding it. I don't know how many lives they lost to get through the tunnel. Come and give it a try in winter..."

"Then you said before that someone in Liu's house has been feeding the big and small ones, are you wrong in your deduction?" asked the second grader.

Wu Chen took a sip of hot tea and said, "Maybe it's not for feeding, but there must be someone who goes there every year, and they're not in the same group as those people."

Song Gu also took a sip of tea and said, "Now I'm only worried that if that thing comes out again, you will almost lose your life, and others will be even more useless."

The sophomore said: "He can't beat the four monsters in the other courtyard of Longgu Mountain. Didn't they just clean up? So don't worry, with Brother Wu around, he will definitely figure out a way."

Wu Chen snorted and said:

"Brother Wu may have nothing to do this time. The four monsters before were afraid of sunlight, bright light, and fire. I know that this underground thing is afraid of cold wind and icy water, but it's afraid of return. It can't stand it all at once. Wait, how long did its neck and head stay outside just now? Just for a moment, it is enough to kill all of us."

"It's only its head and neck that came out just now?" Senior Two asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Wu Chen nodded.

Song Gu leaned forward and asked, "But you didn't let us move just now, it doesn't seem to know that someone is there..."

"He didn't know how many years he had been underground, and when he suddenly came up and encountered light, let alone it, human eyes couldn't stand it. I also gambled that it couldn't see anything, but if someone moved, it would Maybe it can be sensed, it opened its mouth and sprayed, and the yard didn't know what else was left."

"It's stronger than your palm!" the sophomore exclaimed.

"When I put my palm on it, it's like tickling it." Wu Chen said helplessly.

"What should I do?" Song Gu asked anxiously.

Wu Chen looked at the charcoal fire and didn't speak.

When Shang Gong opened the door and came in, Wu Chen raised his head and looked at Shang Gong, only to feel that Shang Gong's face was too pale, he hurriedly stood up and walked over to help him, but found that Shang Gong was shaking all over, Wu Chen persuaded in a relaxed tone: "Shang Gong's face is too pale. Yin first take a rest, don't worry, I'm here, that monster dare not do anything wrong."

The sophomore was about to refute, but was stopped by Song Gu's eyes.

Wu Chen supported Shang Gong to sit on a dusty chair. At this time, no one cared about it, so Wu Chen persuaded:

"Fortunately, this is what I discovered. If those people brought out these monsters and worms last night, the people of Kyoto would suffer. Thinking about it this way, the Shang Mansion is just a little frightened now. Compared with the lives of the people, we are making money." arrive."

Shang Gong blinked his slightly cloudy eyes, and heaved a sigh of relief. Although he looked a little sluggish, he was a little more relaxed than when he first entered the door.

Song Gu saw it, and persuaded:

"Don't say that Shangfu Yin is getting older, even I am also scared, but Shangfu Yin can rest assured that Deputy Envoy Wu and I have traveled a lot, and we will not hide it from Shangfu Yin. I’ve seen this scary thing before, and there’s nothing that Deputy Envoy Wu can’t solve.”

The second year of high school also came to understand, and said: "If you want me to say, you should go back to the Yamen to have a look, Shangfu Yin. Brother Wu is here, so you can rest assured that there are so many things going on in the Yamen every day, and you can't stay here all the time." .”

Wu Chen nodded and said, "That's right, that's right! Shangfu Yin will go back and take a calming medicine and have a good night's rest. The darker it gets, the less likely that thing will come out."

"Oh? Why?" Shang Gong's eyes brightened.

"It's cold!" Wu Chen said casually.

Shang Gong nodded in agreement, stood up with a sigh, and said: "I really don't feel very well, it's the end of the day, and it will be dark in a few more hours, so I'll go back to the government office first, and come back tomorrow. "

Wu Chen motioned for the second year to call for someone, and soon two yamen servants came in and helped Shang Gong out of the room.

……

Only Wu Chen, Gao Er and Song Gu were left in the room. Gao Er looked at Wu Chen again and couldn't help laughing. He pointed to Wu Chen and said to Song Gu, "Look at him, he's squatting there covered in black. , the clothes on his body were burned to bits and pieces, does he look like a beggar?"

The moment the second year of high school finished speaking, he knew that he had said something wrong, and the original smile disappeared instantly, and the flesh on Wu Chen's and Song Gu's faces tightened.

Song Gu shook his head and asked: "He has been like this for a long time, and you just remembered to laugh at him now?"

The sophomore in high school pursed her lips and whispered, "I couldn't laugh just now."

Song Gu asked Wu Chen again: "Why isn't your hair burned?"

Wu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, anyway, I can't see what I look like, and I'm content if I come out alive."

The sophomore moved his butt slyly, and just about to apologize, Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "I was once a beggar, and I don't think it's shameful. I also want to laugh, but I can't see myself."

Song Gu hurriedly asked: "You just told Shangfu Yin that thing won't come out at night, but is it true?"

"I did it to reassure Shangfu Yin. You didn't see him so frightened that he lost his mind. At his age, and it's winter again, I'm afraid that he...can't take it anymore. I just want to comfort him. I don't know if that thing will come out. But one thing, those people have already opened up the path for it to come out, and there is a feeling that everything is ready and only owes the east wind."

The sophomore was shocked, stood up and asked anxiously: "Didn't you say that thing is afraid of the cold? It's cold at night, why does it come out?"

At this time, the fourth child pushed the door in with a steaming copper basin and said, "My lord, wipe your face first, and I will change the water when it gets dirty."
