The weather was exceptionally clear that day, and the breeze carried a hint of warmth. There were many tourists on the outer edge of Shennongjia, taking photos and having fun. Ye Suqi and Ye Suyao walked into Shennongjia with ease and familiarity. To them, everything outside was no longer attractive. Yes, they had lived here for 18 years. They had started picking herbs on the mountain when they were seven years old. 11 years was enough for them to be familiar with each other, but they had never felt as heavy as this time.
Not long after, they arrived at the place Aunt Wu had described.
This place was close to the cliff, and there were scattered flowers all around, attracting many butterflies to dance around the flowers. Such a beautiful scene was too beautiful to be seen. No wonder Wu Yin was attracted here.
"Sister, why is the blood snake here? Doesn't it like yin? The sun was shining brightly here. It really didn't seem like a place it would come to.”Su Yao looked around and asked in confusion.
"I was also wondering, but it's impossible for a blood snake to move on its own.”
The two of them searched the surroundings but still could not find any trace of the blood snake. At this moment, the sun was slowly setting, and the sky was slowly turning dark. Su Qi could not help but become anxious. If she could not find the blood snake soon, it would be too late.
"Sister, the cliff." Su Yao walked to the edge of the cliff and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Su Qi's mind immediately went into a trance. She ran to the edge of the cliff and looked around as if she was looking for something. Finally, she saw a small tree in the crevice. The small tree was surrounded by withered grass, forming a vacuum. On the tree, there were a few small fiery red fruits, which were especially tempting.
"Sister, look, there really is a Blood Snake Fruit. That blood snake must be down there.”Su Yao was extremely excited. They had finally found the antidote to cure Wu Yin.
"Xiao Yao, I'll go down to catch the snake. If you can, I'll also pick the Blood Snake Fruit. After I've taken the blood of the blood snake, I can raise it.”Su Qi took out a rope and tied it to a big tree at the edge of the cliff. She then lowered the rope down the cliff.
"Sis, be careful."
Su Qi slowly climbed down the rope. She used a tree branch to cut the grass around her and paid attention to the blood snake. Finally, she arrived at the Blood Snake Fruit Tree, but there was still no trace of the blood snake. Su Qi thought that it was not a good idea to search like this. Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in her mind. She could only give it a try. Hence, Su Qi slowly approached the Blood Snake Fruit. Just as she was about to pluck one, Su Yao's voice suddenly came from above.
"Sister, Blood Snake."
Su Qi immediately withdrew her hand. At this moment, a red shadow flashed past and landed on the Blood Snake Fruit Tree. She focused her eyes and saw the blood snake sticking out its tongue and looking at her coldly, as if it was protecting what it had.
Looking at the red blood snake, Su Qi bit her lips lightly. She pulled the rope with one hand and took out the silver needles she carried with her other hand. She knew that she only had one chance. With the blood snake's speed, she would not be able to catch up. She might even be bitten by it.
Su Yao watched nervously from the cliff. Even her breathing became lighter, not daring to disturb him.
Suddenly, the blood snake pounced towards Su Qi. However, the moment the blood snake jumped up, Su Qi also shot out a silver needle. Fortunately, God was still on her side. The blood snake was hit by the silver needle and fell to the ground. It wriggled for a moment before it stopped moving. Su Qi felt a chill on her back and let out a long breath. Su Yao was so scared that her face turned pale and she sat on the ground weakly.
Su Qi slowly moved over, but she could only grab the blood snake's tail. She thought that the blood snake was already dead, but who knew that it was not completely dead. Just as Su Qi held its tail, the blood snake raised its head and a wave of pain came from the back of its hand. After a while, Su Qi felt her entire body go numb.
She bit her lips tightly, and red blood flowed down from her lips. She endured the pain and quickly put the snake into the bag, hugging it tightly in front of her chest.
Su Yao's desperate cry came from the top of the cliff. Su Qi raised her head and looked at her sister. The most beautiful smile of her life bloomed on her face. Then, she used the last bit of strength in her body to throw the bag up the cliff. After seeing Su Yao catch it, she no longer had the strength to hold on to the rope. She could only fall down the cliff vertically with the gravity, like a bird with broken wings.
In the end, the boundless darkness attacked her.
Darkness and chaos seemed to have passed for a long time, as if centuries had passed.
Oh, my head hurts! Why is it so noisy? Who was crying? This was Su Qi's first reaction after she regained consciousness.
She slowly opened her eyes, and a patch of white entered her vision. There were all kinds of crying and quarreling sounds around her, and her body was actually surrounded by wooden boards. Su Qi rubbed her temples out of habit. The quarreling outside was getting louder and louder.
"Prime Minister is nothing. Get lost and don't hang around in front of me. Otherwise, I'll make you die with my daughter.”Suddenly, a deep voice roared. It was mixed with desolation and anger, as if he had lost the most precious thing in his life, making people feel sad.
Then, a very pleasant and magnetic voice sounded,"General Ye, no one wanted this to happen.”
"Condolence my ass. I only have one daughter. If you don't give me an explanation today, even if I go to the emperor, I'll definitely chop off your head!”As he spoke, he heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, followed by the sound of many people stopping him.
"General, you can't…"
"General, please reconsider…"
"General…"
General? Emperor? Prime Minister? What the hell? Su Qi's head hurt even more when she heard these inexplicable terms.
Su Qi struggled to sit up. Just as she tried to stand up, she felt all the cells in her body screaming as if they had been run over by a car. After some struggle, she finally sat up. At this moment, the surrounding scenery entered her eyes. Her eyes were filled with white, as if it was the dress of a mourning hall. Su Qi was puzzled by everything in front of her. However, when she saw where she was, she was instantly confused.
If his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, could this be the legendary coffin? Was he lying in this legendary coffin?
"Ah!" Suddenly, an ear-piercing female voice rang out. It was a girl dressed in a classic ancient costume. She was dressed in white and had a white flower on her head. She pointed at Su Qi with a terrified expression and screamed,""Young, Young Miss, you're a fake!”
Su Qi was about to call out to her when she saw her run out quickly. She was about to say something but before she could say it, she could only helplessly open her mouth. At this moment, her mind was spinning. Could it be that she was accidentally saved by someone from a production team and was pulled over to play a small role?
However, just as she was puzzled, a series of footsteps slowly approached.
A man in his forties walked at the front. He was wearing armor that seemed to have a faint blood-red color. He looked haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. He probably hadn't rested for a few days, but this didn't affect the domineering and murderous aura that he emitted. It made people feel terrified.
The man walked quickly to Su Qi and held her shoulders tightly. He looked very excited and said,""Little Seven, Little Seven, you didn't die…That's great, you didn't die.”
"General Ye, Miss Ye has just woken up, let the imperial physician take a look first.”
It was that pleasant voice again. Su Qi looked behind the general, but when her gaze met his, she could not help but be stunned.
What a handsome man. He was dressed in white and exuded an ethereal aura. His exquisite facial features had a suffocating charm. If he was a woman, he would definitely be a demon like Daji who could bring disaster to the country and the people. But why did my heart start to ache when I saw him, as if it had been cut open by a knife?
Suddenly, Su Qi saw the faint disdain and mockery in the man's eyes. It disappeared in the blink of an eye as if it had never happened. She then retracted her gaze and frowned slightly at the general beside her.
"Right, right, quickly invite Imperial Physician Yun. Don't let the other quacks follow.”The general's face was full of excitement, as if he had melted 30% of the fiendish aura.
Su Qi struggled to shake off the general's hand, but she realized that his hands were like two pieces of iron, firmly locked in place. She could not move at all. "Can you…let go of your hand first? It hurts.”
The general seemed to have thought of something and immediately withdrew his hand. He patted his head and said with some annoyance,"Aiya, look at my wooden head. Quick, help Miss back to her room and remove the mourning hall. Don't leave any white. Ah, no, that's not right. Let me carry you back.”As he spoke, he reached out to hug her, scaring Su Qi so much that she retreated.
"Wait, wait a moment." Su Qi looked warily at this person who did not seem to have any ill intentions and asked carefully,""Where…where is this? Who are you? Did something happen?"
General Ye looked at his daughter in surprise, as if he didn't understand why she would ask these questions. "Quick, tell Imperial Physician Yun to hurry up. Damn it, did he burn his brain?”As he spoke, he carried Suqi in his arms, ignoring her objection. He did not know which direction they were heading in, but she was so scared that she almost screamed.
Su Qi was held in the arms of the fierce-looking general. She looked at his beard, which had not been groomed for a few days, and she was not as afraid as she was at the beginning. He probably did not have such malicious intentions. As Su Qi thought about it, she relaxed and fell asleep again. She was too tired and her body had yet to recover. She seemed to have been frightened just now.
In the end, it was already three days later when Su Qi woke up again.
She opened her eyes and realized that she was surrounded by purple bed curtains. The bed was so ancient-looking and looked expensive. Pulling open the curtains, what appeared in front of him was a piece of antique furniture. There seemed to be incense burning on the table, and the faint smell was very pleasant. It was unknown which family was so retro that they actually made the house look like this. There was no modern atmosphere at all, as if they had returned to ancient times. This should be a girl's boudoir, but there was no extra decoration in the room. There was only a sword hanging on the wall.
At this moment, a person dressed as a servant girl walked in. When she looked up and saw her sitting there, she was so frightened that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand. "Miss, you're awake. I'll go call the general.”She put down the bowl in her hand and ran out.
