The way of the mahouts

Chapter 13 Nightmare
The next day, Yumo waited anxiously in the room for news from Mama Lian. Mama Lian would not be angry because of her previous actions and not deliver the letter for her, would she?
Time passed by tensely. After the evening, Yu Mo had already started kicking the door. After the rumbling sound, there was still no response. Yu Mo scratched his head angrily!Is Mama Lian really angry and ignoring her?She is also kind...

In fact, it's not that Mama Lian doesn't want to go, it's that she was being watched and couldn't find a chance to go out.Someone didn't want the seventh young master of the Li family to know about Yumo's current situation, so Mama Lian, the only one in the family who had a good relationship with Yumo, was put under surveillance.

Yuzhen's courtyard is full of medicinal smells, and the maids in her room are probably the only ones in Yu's mansion who didn't go out to join in the fun.

The room is very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of candles "cracking!" can be heard. Under the purple silk tent behind the crabapple screen, Yuzhen is sitting on the head of the bed. Her hair was no longer as shiny as usual, her dull face was ugly and blue, her eyes were red and bloodshot, and she looked straight ahead without focus.

On the table beside the bed was the medicine bowl she had just finished drinking, and the maid, Dianqiu, carefully wiped the remaining medicine juice from the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, "Miss, don't worry, Mother Lian has been watched and cannot get out." Flaw."

"I'm just following my father's wishes, and I don't want her to embarrass our Yu family in front of people in Sifang City." Yuzhen said.

"She doesn't dare to act recklessly, does she?" Dianqiu reckoned.

"In the past, she might not have dared, but now she is relying on the seventh young master of the Li family as her backer, so how can she take my sister seriously? I heard that she burned Rong'er's hair last night, right?" Yu Zhen His eyes moved, he became a little angry, his voice was not loud, and he seemed weak, and his face was expressionless, only when he talked about Yumo, there was some cold expression of disgust.

"Yes! Miss Rong cried all night yesterday, and she didn't go out all day today. The food was brought into the room." Dianqiu helped the eldest lady tuck the quilt, and while talking, she handed the medicine bowl to the others. People accepted it.

"Keep an eye on her, don't give her food these few days, and don't stop that Mother Lian if she wants to, but don't let her get in touch with the seventh young master of the Li family, even if someone from the Li family comes... just say that she has been unwell for the past few days I don’t feel well, I don’t see outsiders.” Yuzhen stroked her forehead, feeling extremely exhausted, her head hurts, her eyes hurt, and she hasn’t had a good sleep for three days and three nights. Could it be that she is really middle-aged as the doctor said evil?Or possessed by a demon?But the Taoist priest also came, and the bad-tasting talisman said that she drank it all, so couldn't she get rid of the dirty things on her body?
"Miss, is your head starting to hurt again? Don't worry about other things. Don't overthink it. I will explain it to you personally. Mother Lian will not fly out even if she grows wings. People in Li's mansion will not fly out if their mouths are worn out. Someone will let them into the mansion, you have a good rest, if you can’t sleep soundly, you can just close your eyes and rest your mind!" Dianqiu has served Hou Yuzhen since she was a child, and she has some understanding of Yuzhen's mind, and Yuzhen loves to listen to her words,
Yuzhen nodded, and lay down with Dianqiu's support, "Don't leave for too long, just tell me everything." Yuzhen would feel more at ease when Little Qiu was in her room.

"My maidservant knows that Missy can rest at ease. Maybe after a while, Madam will be able to ask Mao Guanshi in Sifang City to exorcise you." After Yuzhen closed her eyes, Dianqiu quietly left the room and let the guards in the room The two maids at the door entered the room and stood guard near the screen. Whenever the eldest lady had a nightmare reaction, she would wake up the eldest lady.

Mrs. Yu originally told Yu Xingwen about Yu Zhen's problem, and wanted Yu Xingwen to mention it in front of Guan Mao, but a day passed, and Yu Xingwen was so busy that she couldn't even see her shadow. She was a woman, and it was inconvenient I went out to look for him, sent people to look for him several times, but was dismissed by him. Now Yuzhen's nightmare is getting worse and worse, and she has lost a few pounds in a few days. Don't say that if this continues, the body can't bear it, even the spirit can't bear it. !
Forced and helpless, Mrs. Yu had no choice but to ask Mao Guanshi to save Yuzhen.

For Yu Xingwen's sake, Mao Guanshi met Mrs. Yu, and after listening to Mrs. Yu's report, he had nothing to do with him, so he wanted to go and see, the most talented daughter in Yu Xingwen's mouth What it looked like, so he said: "Take me to see! If I can save it, I will naturally do it."

Mrs. Yu didn't expect Guanshi Mao to be so easy-going, and it took a while to react, and she immediately took Guanshi Mao to Yuzhen's yard. At this time, Dianqiu had already returned to her room to wait on the affairs that the eldest lady had asked her to do.

"Zhen'er, take a quick look, Manager Mao has come to help you see a doctor in person." Mrs. Yu reminded Yu Zhen of the identity of the person in front of her.

Yuzhen had already heard about Guan Shi from the mouths of her servants, and tonight was the first time she saw Guan Shi, and the whole house went up to greet him that day, but she didn't go out because of her poor health.

"Yuzhen is not in good health, so I can't greet Guan Mao, and I hope that Guan Mao will not blame me!" With the help of Dianqiu, Yuzhen sat up straight and leaned against the head of the bed. Her body was not good, but her eyes and face were full of meekness and respect. color.

There is no humility, nor flattery. Mao Guanshi's first impression of Yuzhen is not bad. She has a double-shaped spiritual root of water and soil, a good talent for cultivating immortals, and people are also polite. Although she looks haggard now, her facial features are exquisite. , with clear eyebrows and eyes, he is a kind of lucky person.

"It's okay, I heard from your mother about your illness. Although I don't know what's going on with you? But you are definitely not possessed by evil spirits. I'm sure of that." Guan Shi took a closer look at Yuzhen's face. Apart from being mentally haggard, there was no cold blueness on his face, either because he touched something dirty or was possessed by evil spirits.

"Yuzhen took the medicine prescribed by the doctors every day, but it didn't work at all. If it wasn't evil, what would it be?" Madam Yu asked nervously.

"It's not sickness, it's not evil... Have you offended anyone recently? Or have you killed anything?" Guanshi Mao is just a monk. He can see that the problem doesn't mean it can be solved, but if it can't be solved, he feels that there is nothing wrong with it. In order to save face, I already felt remorse in my heart, I shouldn't have followed Mrs. Yu here.

"The little girl is the most gentle and kind, so how could she offend others? Besides, she is kind in nature, and she won't kill anyone!" Madam Yu said quickly, fearing that if she was not careful, Yuzhen would lose a good impression in front of Guan Shi.

Yuzhen nodded and said, "I've never killed anyone."

"It's not good for a cultivator to be too weak." Guan Mao said suddenly without knowing what he was thinking of.

Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she quickly said: "But if it is someone who should be killed, Yuzhen will not be afraid!"

Guan Mao's eyes lit up, this kid is very smart, quick to respond, not low in talent, he may have some promise in the future, if he doesn't spend a lot of effort to form a good relationship now, he can be considered.

So he put some thought into analyzing Yuzhen's illness. He is also a hundred years old, and his vision is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people, but he still can't see the real reason for Yuzhen's nightmare. Excluded, it should be poisoning. He has a detoxification pill on his body. For a cultivator, the medicine is not very effective, but it should still be effective for a mortal. As for the poison on her body, he can't even see it. , not to mention the doctors in Hecheng, this poison is not simple, not only the poisoned person doesn't feel anything, even the doctor can't find out, and this nightmare disease is not fatal, but it makes people suffer Tortured, haunted by nightmares every day and night, waking up from being frightened to the point where someone has to wake him up.

It's just that if she is still not cured after giving her an antidote pill, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

For a while, Guan Mao was in a dilemma. This nightmare was just a nightmare. He was either sick or seriously injured, or he wanted to do something, but there was nothing he could do.

"You have eaten this pill!"

Mao Guanshi finally decided to give it a try. If it didn't work, he could only say that this child deserved his fate and offended someone who shouldn't be offended.

Yuzhen swallowed this scarlet elixir without hesitation. The nightmares of the past three days have tortured her to death. Every time she wakes up from the nightmares, it is like being reborn, but it repeats again and again. Waking up again with sweat profusely consumed her too much energy and energy. On the surface, she took medicine, acupuncture, drinking amulet water, and tried everything that could cure nightmares. After failing, she also smiled lightly. Always say there is another way!Actually?Every time she failed, she was very afraid. She was very afraid that one day she would not even have the strength to swallow, and would just lie on the bed so weakly waiting to die.

Originally, she was supposed to be a respected cultivator, and she even believed in her heart that she should be a fairy enjoying longevity... But now, before she practiced cultivation, she felt the threat of death, which made her fear... afraid... Desperation... Doubting everything about herself... Is she not so good?Is she unlucky?Was she supposed to be short-lived?

Fortunately, she hasn't started to practice yet, otherwise her Taoism will be destroyed!

This short three days is a nightmare that Yuzhen will never forget, and it is the knot between Yuzhen and Yumo that will never be untied!It was also the root cause of Yuzhen's frantic revenge against Yumo in the future.
