Although she was also starving, Youlan still comforted her,"Miss, bear with it a little longer. Someone should be sending food over tomorrow morning.”
"Why should I?!" Si Muran sneered. If there's no food, I'll go find it myself!”
You Lan peeked out and glanced at the guards who were still guarding the entrance of the courtyard. She looked at Si Muran and said,""Miss, there are still two people guarding outside the courtyard. We can't get out either!”
Si Muran looked at the black-faced guard who was standing outside the courtyard like a door god. She raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly."If we can't take the straight path, can't we take the small path? Wait for me in the courtyard. I'll bring back delicious food in a while.”
After saying that, she quietly ran to the backyard and nimbly climbed up a large locust tree with a crooked neck. She climbed over the wall and slipped out of the courtyard.
Knowing that everyone in the residence was avoiding her like snakes and scorpions, Si Muran walked straight to the courtyard where her mother had passed away. The servants 'kitchen was directly across the deserted courtyard.
However, Si Muran heard the sounds of intense fighting not far away when she reached the courtyard.
Driven by curiosity, she hid under the blooming hibiscus tree and carefully looked into the courtyard.
However, she was so frightened that she almost cried out.
He saw a dozen men in black fighting fiercely in the dilapidated courtyard filled with weeds.
In such a fierce battle, the blade was merciless and would definitely hurt the innocent. Si Muran calmed herself down and turned to run out of the courtyard. However, she had only taken two steps when she felt someone grabbing her collar.
Before she could turn around to check who was behind her, a pill was shoved into her mouth.
"Who are you? What did you feed me?" Si Muran, who had accidentally swallowed the pill, asked with a trembling voice.
A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind Si Muran." You should be glad that I only brought knockout powder with me today. Otherwise, you wouldn't have died so quickly!”
The voice paused, and Si Muran realized that a long sword with a cold glint was already pressed against her neck. If the other party exerted a little more force, she would die.
Si Muran tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart. With a thought, she said in a deep voice,""I am the young miss of the Minister's Residence. If I die, my father will not let this matter rest. He will definitely find you through clues.”
The man chuckled in a low voice, exuding a hint of evilness. The longsword pressed against Si Muran's neck drew closer." Are you threatening me?”
Si Muran shook her head." I'm just a defenseless girl. How could I possibly threaten you? I just wanted to discuss another way to deal with this.”
He didn't expect this woman to be so calm even when she was on the verge of death. The man was also interested." Tell me about it."”
"You should have some medicine that can control people in the martial arts world. Find it and let me take it. If I reveal your information, you can not give me the antidote and let me die from the poison.”Si Muran held her breath and waited for the man's reply.
Although there was a huge risk in doing so, it was definitely better than dying here now. Moreover, she had the Encyclopedia. Perhaps she could develop an antidote with her strength. It seemed that this was indeed the best way to escape.
The man seemed to think that this method was feasible and fell into deep thought for a moment.
However, at this moment, a long sword suddenly flew towards the black-robed man behind Si Muran, forcing him to move away from the sword on Si Muran's neck to block it.
With a soft " ding ", the longsword fell to the ground. At the same time, a man dressed in black and wearing a silver mask appeared in front of Si Muran.
His cold gaze swept across Si Muran's face, then turned to the man in front of him. He smiled scornfully and said,""I thought highly of you. So you're just a despicable person. I didn't expect you to attack a defenseless little girl!”
"Do you think she can leave alive after witnessing everything today?”The man in black's gaze was extremely sinister.
Si Muran's heart skipped a beat. This man was definitely not a good person!
"What if I insist on saving her?" The silver-masked man was calm and composed, with an unchangeable domineering aura.
Hearing this, the black-clothed man frowned, and killing intent leaked out from his eyes. He suddenly attacked, picking up the sword on the ground, and the tip of his toes suddenly tapped the ground as he flew forward to attack.
The masked man did not panic. He swung his sword and fought fiercely with his opponent.
The two of them were evenly matched in strength, and they fought even harder, sparks flying.
"Who is it? How dare you mess around in the Minister's Residence!" A low shout was heard, and several guards of the Minister's Residence ran over.
The two stopped at the same time and gestured to their subordinates to retreat.
"Consider yourself lucky, I'll spare your life!”The man in black glanced at Si Muran, who was sitting under the tree, and said this in a deep voice. Then, he flew away and disappeared into the twilight with his men.
Si Muran's vision was already blurry after being drugged, and the scene before her eyes was getting more and more blurry. However, the fragrance that filled her nose was very familiar. She seemed to have smelled it somewhere before…
Pei Chenshuo frowned as he looked at the dazed woman in his arms. How troublesome. His voice became impatient,""Tell me, where is the Heavenly Works Canon?"
What was the Heavenly Works Canon? Such a clear and deep voice, was it the man in the underground palace?! He was the one who knocked her out back then! Damn it!
Si Muran couldn't hold on any longer and recalled all the unhappy things that had happened recently in a daze.
At this moment, she finally burst out and struggled in Pei Chenshuo's arms. However, she had no strength in her limbs and was like a cat rolling around.
"I don't know anything about the Heavenly Works Canon!" she said angrily. If you don't believe me, you can kill me to silence me. Why waste your words! I've transmigrated too, why am I so miserable…"
Si Muran didn't know what she was talking about.
Listening to the nonsense of the woman in his arms, Pei Chenshuo's eyes flashed with disgust. If it was not for the fact that he had found out that she might be related to the Heavenly Works Canon, why would he risk exposing his identity to save her today?
"Who's there?" The guards were about to discover the two of them.
Pei Chenshuo looked at the woman in his arms and frowned. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her today, so he threw Si Muran by the pond and flew away.
Si Muran cried out in pain. She turned around and tried to get up, but she missed her footing and fell into the cold pond beside her.
When the guards arrived, they didn't see anything unusual. They only saw Si Muran, who was drenched and struggling in the water. They laughed out loud without holding back.
"I didn't expect that the Sixth Miss of the Minister's Residence was not only weak, but also mentally ill. She came to the pond to bathe in this early spring weather.”
"Yes, yes! Her taste is too unique!"
After being hit by the cold water, the effects of the knockout powder had obviously weakened. Si Muran, who was gradually waking up, looked at the guards who were laughing so hard that they were rolling around by the pond. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
The spring breeze blew and there was a slight chill. Si Muran shivered and cursed in the direction where Pei Chenshuo had gone,""Damn it, if I meet you again, I won't let you off!”
When the news of Si Muran jumping over the wall and falling into the pond and being caught reached Minister Si's ears, he was furious and immediately issued a ban. He locked Si Muran in the courtyard and arranged for three rough servant girls to guard her strictly.
Seeing that she had no chance to climb over the wall and leave, Si Muran could only rely on herself!
Early in the morning, before dawn, she quietly walked out of the house and searched for food in the courtyard. After searching, she really found a small bowl of old rice with rice worms in the abandoned kitchen in the backyard.
For someone who was starving, having food was already good enough. Why would she be picky?
He picked out the rice worms one by one and threw them away. Then, he washed the rice with water and planned to cook porridge.
However, the problem came with it. He had all the ingredients, but he didn't have a stove to cook them.
Si Muran frowned as she squatted on the ground and thought hard for a long time. She suddenly recalled the time when she was young at her grandmother's house in the countryside and watched the adults build a clay stove.
With a flash of inspiration, he quickly searched through the Encyclopedia for the construction method of the earth furnace. Then, he picked up a pile of broken bricks in the corner of the courtyard and began to build it himself.
By the time the sky brightened, Si Muran's earthen stove had gradually taken shape.
"Miss, what are you doing?”After waking up, You Lan could not find her young miss. Just as she hurriedly ran to the courtyard, she saw a strange-looking thing in the middle of the courtyard and cried out in surprise.
Si Muran wiped the dust off her face with her sleeve and chuckled.""This thing is called an earthen stove. I just found some old rice. We'll have something to eat in a while.”
Upon hearing this, You Lan's eyes lit up. She quickly found a flint in the room and went forward to help Si Muran.
However, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Because the construction of the earthen stove failed, the firewood that was lit only emitted thick smoke. It could not start a fire at all.
Meanwhile, Si Muran and You Lan, who were squatting beside the earthen stove, were choked by the smoke and their faces turned black.
The rough servant girl who had just woken up rushed to the courtyard after smelling the thick smoke. She looked at Si Muran, whose face was black, and mocked her.
"Aiyo, Sixth Miss, it's only been one night and you've turned from a drowning dog to a beggar. Look at your face. It's really funny.”
"Perhaps Sixth Miss is tired of living the life of a rich lady and really wants to experience the life of a beggar!”
Si Muran frowned slightly when she heard this. She really wanted to teach them a lesson, but she knew that her actions in the past few days had already caused Minister Si to be dissatisfied. If she caused more trouble, she would be the only one who would suffer in the end. She calmed down the anger in her heart and ignored them. She continued to work on the furnace with You Lan.
Seeing that Si Muran was ignoring them, one of the maidservants said,""Heh, look at her high and mighty appearance. She's just an abandoned daughter that Minister Si can't even be bothered to look at. Does she really think she's a rich young lady?”
"Where did you come from? He actually dared to scold his own master! Do you want to have a taste of the family law?" An old but stern voice sounded at the entrance of the courtyard.
Si Muran turned her head and saw that the person standing at the courtyard door was the nanny who had raised Si Muran since she was young. She was also the wife of Chief Zhang, Su Er.
When they saw Su Er, the three maids immediately restrained themselves. They bowed to her and panicked as they wanted to hide in the house.
Su Er walked into the courtyard and shouted angrily,"Stop!"”
The three maidservants were shocked and stopped in their tracks, not daring to look at Su Er. They could only lower their heads and look at their embroidered shoes, feeling very dissatisfied.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
