Can't speak

Chapter 17

When Ning Jian returned to Xiaoyao Villa with Su Yan on his back, it was already very late.But the door of the villa was open, the lights inside were brightly lit, and the evening wind was blowing, and the wind seemed to be carrying a strong blood.

Ning Jian's heart shuddered.

Su Yangui, who had just landed, asked with a pale face, "What happened?"

Ning Jian quickly wrote on his hand: "Let's go in and have a look."

Su Yangui hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, relying on Ning Jian's support, hurried inside.

The smell of blood in the wind became stronger, and after stepping through the gate, you could see blood spots on the ground. Ning Jian became vigilant, drew out her dagger and held it, while holding Su Yangui even tighter.

There was dead silence, only the sound of the wind, and no one could be seen.

Feeling Ning Jian's strength, Su Yangui asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"I can't see anyone."

Su Yangui's face turned pale again: "Where are Murong and Jing Shi?"

Ning Jian didn't respond, but just walked towards the brightest place.

When passing through a corridor, Su Yangui stepped on a puddle of blood because he couldn't see it. His heart trembled, and he grabbed Ning Jian's hand suddenly: "Why is there water?"

Ning Jian lowered his head, and when he saw the pool of blood, he knew that if there were no dead people, there would never be so much blood, but when he looked up and saw Su Yangui's face was pale, he didn't dare to speak directly, and just wrote indiscriminately: "Probably the servant was careless."

Su Yangui didn't ask any more questions, the two walked for a while before he said: "Then...is it blood?"

Ning Jian did not respond.

After walking for a while, the two of them had already walked outside the main house. The house was brightly lit, but it was very quiet inside. However, Ning Jian had profound internal energy, so he could still faintly hear someone's breathing inside.

Either shallow or deep, it is clear that someone was injured.

Ning Jian hesitated for a moment, and finally took Su Yangui to the grass outside the house, asked him to squat down, and wrote on his palm: "I'll go and see, you stay hidden."

Su Yangui nodded obediently.

When Ning Jian left, she felt that Su Yangui was still holding her hand tightly, but when he came back to his senses, that hand had already loosened.

Not having time to think about it, Ning Jian held her breath and concentrated on the sound of her footsteps, she approached the window of the main house, leaned under the window and listened for a while, and then carefully made a small hole in the window paper with her saliva.

There were only four people in the huge room, and two of them were sitting in a corner, silently tending to their wounds.Sitting on the chair in the center was Murong Lin, his face was bluish white, his clothes were almost stained with blood, and there was a deep wound on his left shoulder. identified in red.

Jing Shi was standing next to him, pinching a golden needle to poke him, his face was cold, and his clothes were like Murong Lin's, almost completely stained with blood, but he couldn't tell whether he was injured or not.

Ning Jian looked at it for a while, and was vaguely sure that the people inside were not malicious. She turned her head and saw that Su Yanhui was hiding in the grass, so she walked over to help him up, and wrote on his hand as she walked into the house: "Master seems to be injured." , Mr. Jing is treating him."

The movement of the two soon alarmed the people inside, and someone shouted: "Who is outside?"

Su Yangui also called out almost at the same time: "Murong, are you injured?"

Only then did the people inside shout out in surprise: "Xiao Su?"

Then it was Murong Lin who staggered out and grabbed Su Yangui's hand: "Are you alright?"

Su Yangui opened a pair of empty eyes and tilted his head slightly, as if he couldn't hear his words clearly.

Ning Jian had already spoken beside him: "We went down the mountain, what happened here?"

"Going down the mountain?"

Murong Lin was stunned for a moment, as if unable to react.

Jing Shi already said with a cold face: "Murong Lin, come back!"

Only then did Murong Lin come back to his senses, gasped, and walked back holding the wound on his shoulder, looking pitifully at Jing Shi and smiling apologetically.

Jing Shi didn't speak any more, and ruthlessly poked two more needles on both sides of his wound, then walked to Su Yangui silently, grabbed his hand and clasped the pulse gate.

"Jing Shi?"

Su Yangui only heard the movement but couldn't hear what they said clearly. When he felt someone feel his pulse, he knew that it was Jing Shi who had come.

Jing Shi's fingers rested on his wrist for a while, then he took out a bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill from it, and stuffed it into Su Yangui's mouth, then turned his head and spoke to Ning Jian in a colder tone than before Fen Fen: "Take it back and lie down on the bed."

Ning Jian stayed on the mountain for so long, so he could figure out Jing Shi's temperament. One look at his face, he knew that Su Yangui's condition was definitely not good, so he helped Su Yangui and walked out without saying a word.

It was Su Yan who was in a hurry: "What's the matter?" After a pause, he added, "I'm the one who wants to go down the mountain, it has nothing to do with him!"

Ning Jian lowered her eyes slightly, and wrote on his hand: "It's okay, I'll let you go back and lie down."

Only then did Su Yangui calm down, and Ren Ningjian led him out.

After Su Yangui settled down, Ning Jian returned to the main house, only Jing Shi and Murong Lin were left in the house, and the other two had disappeared.

Murong Lin's wound had already been bandaged, and he was sitting there with his eyes closed, while Jing Shi was sitting next to him, fiddling with a few medicine bottles.

Ning Jian walked in and stood in front of the two of them without speaking.

Murong Lin quickly opened his eyes, and when he saw him, he snorted vigorously, then sighed after a while: "It's fine if we go down the mountain, but we may not be able to keep him if we stay on the mountain."

"What happened?"

Jing Shi said leisurely: "Several vile gangs attacked at night and set hands and feet in the kitchen. Many people in the villa were unable to fight back because of poisoning. Murong and I slaughtered most of the people, and finally came again Batch is probably a hired killer with good skills. If the rescue did not come in time, he might be slaughtered.

"After forcing people back, Murong went to Xiaosu's room to look for them, but found that you were all gone. He thought Xiaosu was captured because of a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he drove everyone who could move out to find someone. "

Jing Shi said it plainly, but Ning Jian could still imagine the fierceness at that time, and when he thought about taking Su Yangui to the lower mountain to play and watch lanterns, against the cold anger in Jing Shi's eyes, he felt a little embarrassed.

Jing Shi stared at him for a while, his anger seemed to fade, and he asked, "Where did you go?"

"At the foot of the mountain, Baifu Town." Ning Jian is not someone who would shirk responsibility, and would never say that Su Yangui insisted on going.

Jing Shi seemed to have guessed something, and asked again: "Where is Xiao Su going?"

Ning Jian hesitated for a while, then nodded, "I thought it would be fine to take him down the mountain."

Jing Shi seemed to snort, "You are not someone who is easy to soften your heart. Why?"

Ning Jian hesitated even more, but Murong Lin's eyes could already stare at him, and finally Ning Jian finally said: "He... seems to be unable to hear."

Jing Shi's face darkened, Murong Lin had already screamed: "What?"

"I can still hear the voice, but he can't hear what you usually say."

Murong Lin suddenly turned to look at Jing Shi: "Jin Zi..."

Jing Shi frowned and didn't speak.

"Is it poisonous hair?" Ning Jian gritted her teeth and asked.

After a while, Jing Shi said: "It's not enough, it's just that I can't hold it anymore, if this continues..."

Ning Jian was anxious in her heart, but her mouth was clumsy.Murong Lin over there has already called out: "Jin Zi, don't just say half of it!"

"It may not be possible to survive this spring."

The dagger in Ning Jian's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he looked at Jing Shi: "Aren't you...a genius doctor?"

Jing Shi looked at the sword that fell on the ground, his face was cold, as if someone had stepped on a painful spot, and he said after a long while, "It's not that the poison can't be cured, it's just that there is a lack of medicine."

"What medicine?" Ning Jian asked quickly this time.

"Heaven Heart Grass."

Ning Jian frowned: "What is that?"

"It is said that the medicine can life and death human flesh and bones." Jing Shi said with a hint of sarcasm, "In fact, it is just a medicine that can relax muscles and activate collaterals. If it is used as medicine, it will have the same effect as ordinary herbal medicine. But if you take it As a guide, the medicine can be introduced into the five internal organs, and the effect is very good. When I was young, I met one, but it was destroyed in the hands of people who didn’t know its value.”

"Can't find it now?"

"Most of the people who are friends with Xiao Su have tried their best to find them. There are some news, but most of them are false."

Ning Jian heard something pointed: "Then it's true?"

When Murong Lin heard his question, his heart moved, and he took the words: "There should be a plant in the palace. It was paid tribute 20 years ago. It's hard to say how it is now. Besides, the imperial palace is strictly guarded. If you can't find the medicine, you will pay for it." If you lose your life, it will be a big loss.”

Ning Jian only had a second thought and understood what he meant, but she didn't say anything, she just asked, "What else?"

Jing Shi took a look at Murong Lin: "The two people in the room just now are the Jiangling Shuangjies. Their brothers searched for Yueyu near Xiguan, and saw similar ones on the cliffs of Tianren Mountain. Yunxiao, steep mountain walls, and jagged rocks, even with extreme lightness skills, it is not easy to pick a medicinal herb on the cliff.

"They knew that they were not capable enough, and they wanted to see if we had other options, so they turned to Xiaoyao Villa, which just happened to save us."

Seeing that Ning Jian remained silent, Jing Shi frowned, "The only reliable news now is one or two."

After a while, Ning Jian finally nodded slightly and did not speak.

It was Ning Jian's idea that Murong Lin shared the news so easily. He wanted to rely on Ning Jian's relationship with the royal family to find out about the Tianxin grass in the palace. It would be even better if he could get the medicine back. It couldn't be better, but I didn't expect that Ning Jian would not say a word after hearing this, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Jing Shi also seemed to understand Murong Lin's thoughts, but patted his shoulder silently, keeping his eyes on Ning Jian.

"It's a good thing for you to keep. More and more people will come to Xiaosu to ask for the sword book and the sword, and the methods will become more and more powerful. Even if the Jiangling Twins don't leave, we may not be able to protect the He has to be considerate. One more you is a great help. As for the medicine, I will write to other people and let them think of a way."

Ning Jian shook her head: "You ask other people to help you, I'll look for it."

Jing Shi was stunned for a moment, with an unconcealable surprise on his face.Like Murong Lin, he felt that it would be best if Ning Jian was willing to go to the palace to find out.

It's just that his heart is clearer than Murong Lin's.

At the beginning when they objected, Ning Jian still insisted on staying, but in the current situation, Ning Jian would not easily leave Su Yangui's side.What he said specifically was just to make Ning Jian feel at ease.But she never expected that Ning Jian had been silent for so long, and when she spoke again, it was as Murong Lin wished.

Murong Lin was also very surprised, and blurted out, "Are you sure?"

"It's useless for me to stay."

There was no emotion in Ning Jian's tone, and his expression was extremely calm. Murong and Lin were at the side, but they still vaguely noticed something strange.

Glancing at Murong Lin, Jing Shi said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll draw the appearance of Tianxin Grass for you later, and how to deal with it after harvesting. When are you going to leave?"

Ning Jian was silent again, and then lowered her eyes after a while: "After dawn."

The night was cold and desolate, but Xiaoyao Villa was sleepless all night. At dawn, Murong Lin took the medicine and went to Su Yangui's room with a tired body, and woke up the person whose breathing was unstable from his sleep.

"It's dawn?" Su Yangui hadn't fully woken up yet, when someone woke him up, he only asked vaguely and struggled to sit up.

Murong Lin supported him and asked him to freshen up before putting the medicine to his lips: "Jin Zi said it's not good to wake you up in the middle of the night, so you should take the medicine now."

Su Yan Guiben had already stretched out his hand to support the edge of the bowl, when he heard him speak, he couldn't feel his hands paused, and turned his head slightly: "Murong?"

Looking at his appearance, he obviously didn't hear clearly, so he asked that sentence, Murong Lin thought of what Ning Jian said to Jing Shi at night, and couldn't help feeling sour.

Murong Lin imitated Ning Jian who caught Su Yangui's hand and wrote: "It's me, Afeng was sent down the mountain by me to do business, and I couldn't find anyone else, so I had to come and serve you in person."

Su Yangui was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "Are there any other servants in your family?"

"Only he can do that."

"Then you have to find someone better than him for me."

Murong Lin listened to his words, smiled wryly, and was about to say something, but heard very light footsteps coming from the door, and when he turned around, he saw Ning Jian standing there, apparently having arranged everything and was ready to leave.

"What?" Su Yangui asked without feeling Murong Lin's response.

Murong Lin just looked at Ning Jian, and Ning Jian also heard Su Yangui's words, so he whispered: "I just want to say goodbye to him."

Murong Lin raised his eyebrows, and raised his voice: "Xiao Su, Ah Feng is here, and he said he wanted to say goodbye to you before doing something."

Su Yangui kept listening with his ears sideways, and when he finished speaking, he repeated uncertainly: "Farewell? Ah Feng?"

Murong Lin didn't respond to him, but stepped aside, waited for Ning Jian to approach, and then whispered: "I told him, Ah Feng was sent by me to do something that must be done by him."

Ning Jian nodded, bent down, and grabbed Su Yangui's hand.

"Ah Feng." Su Yangui called out with a faint smile.

Ning Jian hesitated for a moment, and wrote in his palm: "Ah Feng is going to work for the young master, so he can't serve Mr. Su anymore."

"It's ok."

The smile on Su Yangui's face remained the same, but his voice became more gentle.

Ning Jian thought for a while, then wrote: "Take care."

"it is good."

With a light word, all the words to be said were cut off there. Ning Jian didn't know what else to say, so she stood up, let go and was about to leave.

However, the moment he let go of his hand, Su Yangui grabbed his hand.

Ning Jian took a deep breath, opened her eyes suddenly, and looked at Su Yangui in bewilderment.

"I'll take you out."

Su Yangui still smiled gently, grabbed Ning Jian's hand with one hand, and got out of bed.

"I..." Ning Jian was completely dazed, and when he saw him standing there with bare feet in his single clothes, he turned back to find his clothes in a panic.

Murong Lin was a little puzzled watching from the sidelines, helping Ning Jian to dress Su Yangui, he didn't even think of stopping him for a while.

When the three of them reached the gate, Ning Jian finally stopped and looked at Murong Lin helplessly.

Murong Lin knew what he meant, patted Su Yangui on the shoulder, and raised his voice: "We're at the gate, let him go down the mountain, let's go back."

Su Yangui narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile never faded: "Okay, take care."

Ning Jian's heart slowly relaxed, and she began to carefully withdraw her hand from Su Yangui's.

Su Yangui actually didn't let go, instead he pulled hard and bullied him.

"you!"

Ning Jian screamed out in shock, and immediately felt that Su Yangui let go of his hand, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him.

Ning Jian was terrified, her fingertips froze, she could only feel Su Yangui hugging her like a big dog, and the sound of low breathing echoed in her ears.

"Why are you nervous, we've been together for so many days, why don't you give me a hug before parting." Su Yangui's tone was brisk, as if he had taken advantage of it.

Ning Jian slowly lowered her eyes without struggling.

Su Yangui also hugged him all the time, and didn't speak any more.

The world is silent, the wind blows silently, as if time has returned to the past, and nothing has happened yet.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yangui let go of his hand slowly, and Ning Jian's heart also gradually returned to its original place.However, at the moment of separation, Ning Jian heard Su Yangui's voice in his ear.

When she raised her head again, Su Yangui had already walked away under the guidance of Murong Lin, everything seemed to be an illusion, but Ning Jian felt that her hands were getting cold.

The man's voice was soft and slow, but very clear.

He called, Ning Jian.
