Medical concubine in power

Chapter 124 The Death of Mrs. Zou
The night was getting deeper and deeper, Xie Muyan sat on the steps, looking at Xie Muxin who still hadn't woken up beside her, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

In a trance, she lost a relative in this way, and everything seemed like a dream, a dream that made her want to break free quickly.

"Miss, we have found the fire."

Xin Ran and Xin Yu walked to Xie Muyan's side together, talking softly.

It seems that as long as the voice is louder, the young woman in front of them will leave them.

"Did someone move their hands or feet?"

Xie Muyan recovered from her contemplation, and by the light of the lantern, she saw the embarrassed expressions on the faces of the two of them, and she already guessed about half of it in her heart.

A vague answer gradually formed in my mind.

"It's kerosene."

Xin Yu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xin Yu and Xie Muyan before answering.

"The place where we live burned the most, and it has been reduced to a pool of ashes. Xinyu and I searched for a long time, and only found traces of fire oil around our house."

Xin Ran took over Xin Yu's words and continued.

They all looked at each other, and they all saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

The person who started the attack had a very clear purpose, to kill them!

"By the way! Where's Mrs. Xie? She hasn't been with us all this time!"

Suddenly, Xin Ran seemed to think of something, and suddenly called out.

The situation just now was too urgent, and they had been immersed in the grief of Mrs. Li's death, so they had forgotten Mrs. Zou's existence.

Now being reminded by Xin Yu, an answer appeared immediately.The three of them looked at each other, tacit understanding.

"You guys take care of Xiner here, I'll go find her."

After pondering for a moment, Xie Muyan spoke out first.After she finished speaking, she stood up, and without waiting for Xinran and Xinyu to react, she went towards the place where Master Huikong was lecturing.

Just now, when Master Huikong appeared in the guest room in the backyard, she should have thought that Mrs. Zou was not by his side.But at that time, she was overwhelmed by the grief of Li Shi's death, so she ignored Zou Shi.

In fact, she didn't know whether she could find Mrs. Li in the lecture room, but the inexplicable feeling in her heart kept urging her to move forward quickly.

The evening class was over, and the place where the class was held at this time was pitch black, only the lantern in Xie Muyan's hand gave off a faint light.

She raised the lantern high and searched from every place in the classroom, and finally saw a curled up figure in an inconspicuous corner.

Who is that person if not Mrs. Zou?

She stretched out her feet and turned the body facing the wall over, only to see the faint smile on Zou's face.

"I didn't expect you to escape? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Before Xie Muyan could say anything to me, Mrs. Zou spoke out first.

However, just as she opened her mouth, strands of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth, so the words she spoke were not clear.

"You did all of this?!"

Xie Muyan frowned, and after she asked this sentence, she felt as if she had said something nonsense.

If Mrs. Zou had planned everything, Mrs. Zou would not be so powerless lying beside her now.

She put her hand on Zou Shi's wrist, and felt that her pulse was in disarray, as if there were thousands of horses galloping in her body.

At this time, Mrs. Zou...was poisoned!

Xie Muyan tossed her hand aside, and looked at her with a complicated look.

Facing Xie Muyan's question, Mrs. Zou didn't say anything, just kept laughing.

That weird laughter made Xie Muyan frowned, she just felt that something beyond her control was happening, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"Xie Muyan, do you think I will really treat you that well? Humph! Wishful thinking! You killed my Wanrong, I wish I could peel off your skin, stretch your tendons, and eat your flesh and blood! Haha Haha...cough cough...Only your mother, a fool, really believed me...cough cough cough..."

Swallowing the blood in his mouth in one gulp, Zou seemed to have rested enough, glaring fiercely at Xie Muyan's face, talking hysterically.

Halfway through, she was choked by the smell of blood rising from her throat, coughing non-stop.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with the sound of her coughing.

After a long time, Mrs. Zou kept spitting out the blood from his mouth, and finally took a breath.

"Xie Muyan, you have hurt my beauty so badly, and now I'm about to die. But don't get complacent too early! I'll be in the underworld, waiting for Mi to come down, hahaha..."

Listening to that piercing laughter, Xie Muyan's already frowning brows became tighter and tighter.She was thinking about who made the hands and feet in the night, but the wanton laughter stopped abruptly.

She lowered her head and looked at Zou Shi twice, only to realize that she had died at some point, but her eyes were still wide open, looking straight at her.

Seeing that Mrs. Zou's body was getting colder and colder, she used her feet again to make Mrs. Zou's face face the wall again, and turned around and left here.

For some reason, she just felt uneasy in her heart.

She knew that things were not as simple as she had imagined.Perhaps, she has been targeted by a person hiding in the dark...

When she returned to Xie Muxin's side, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Mu Jiayu had also arrived here at some time, and he was also sitting on the steps, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

"Mu Yan, you're here."

Feeling a gaze focused on him, Mu Jiayu turned his head, but happened to see Xie Muyan's figure right there.

He beckoned to her and pointed to the ground with one finger.Xie Muyan immediately understood, walked over and sat beside him.

"When I was young, my mother... my mother and concubine told me that when a person dies, he will become a star in the night sky, looking at his dearest person in the sky."

Mu Jiayu stretched out his arms and hugged Xie Muyan's body, bringing some warmth to Xie Muyan with his own body temperature.

"Look." He pointed to a star in the sky, "This brightest star must be the incarnation of your mother..."

"Yes, but I think this star is brighter."

Xie Muyan only felt her nose sore and she almost shed tears.But she still quickly forced back the tears that were already swirling in her eyes, and joked to Mu Jiayu.

Just like that, Xie Muyan leaned her head on Mu Jiayu's shoulder, and after a long time, she brought her words to the main topic.

"You're here, where is Wanjing? And Qingli's follower, why didn't he come with you?"

She glanced behind Mu Jiayu, but found that they were not there, so she couldn't help asking.

"I heard the news that your residence was on fire, so I rushed over immediately, but I didn't expect that I was a step late, Aunt Li..."

Speaking of this, Mu Jiayu turned his head away, and his voice stopped abruptly, as if he was afraid that it would arouse Xie Muyan's sadness.

"Thanks a lot."

Xie Muyan smiled slightly, only feeling that her heart was warm, as if surrounded by hot spring integration.

She opened her arms and embraced Mu Jiayu's body, and time passed by in such a warm environment.

"Do you know who did it this time?"

Feeling that the surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower, Mu Jiayu took off his robe and put it on Xie Muyan's body, with a pensive look on his face.

"I thought it was Mrs. Zou at first, but when I rushed to her, she was already dying. She also said that she would wait for me underground."

As soon as Zou's was mentioned, Xie Muyan's already relaxed eyebrows frowned again.

The smile of Zou Shi before his death has always existed in her mind and cannot be lingered.

"You said, who would do this?"

"This matter is difficult to draw conclusions."

After thinking for a while, Mu Jiayu just shook his head.

If he had to say that there was someone to suspect, his first reaction would be Mu Jiaci and Mu Jiarui.But logically, they should focus on him.

He didn't believe that the two of them still had the ability and means to deal with him and Xie Muyan at the same time.

After all, the fire in the backyard also required certain arrangements...

"One more thing. I don't know why my internal energy has reached a bottleneck, and I can't use it, as if it has been sealed."

Looking at Mu Jiayu who was also frowning, after a while, Xie Muyan asked her another question.

Not long after Mu Jiayu left the capital, something went wrong with her internal strength, and she couldn't find the problem after reading many books.When I asked Xinran and Xinyu, they just shook their heads and said they didn't know.

If her internal strength was still there, she would not need Xinran and Xinyu to save herself. On the contrary, she could rush into Li Shi's room as quickly as possible, and take her and Xie Muxin out of the room together. rescued from the sea of ​​fire.

After all, it was just because she was not strong enough to protect them...

"This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

Mu Jiayu's face was also full of suspicion.He was about to say something more, but he heard a whine suddenly coming from the side, and even Xie Muyan's attention was attracted to him.

Xie Muxin fell into a coma due to excessive fright.Only now did he slowly open his confused eyes.

She rubbed her eyes, looked at the blanket under her body, looked around again, and finally set her eyes on Xie Muyan's face.

"Sister? Why am I lying here? Where's mother?"

Listening to Xie Muxin's question, Xie Muyan was taken aback for a moment, and her body became stiff at this moment.

What is she going to say?Said that their mother was already buried in the sea of ​​fire?
