C12 Chapter Xii Secrets

A woman could be considered pretty, but there was shrewdness and scheming on her face. She was not a person who was easy to get along with.

"What are you staring at?" The woman's mouth twitched in anger, "You were randomly treating my father-in-law just now. If anything were to happen to my father-in-law, I would definitely tell him about it at the official level!"

Old Lady Wang was also fanning the flames by the side. "That's right. What kind of medical skills can a little girl have? I'm afraid she's treating him randomly, no?"

Rong Xiu's gaze swept across, "Granny, I am your wife after all. Although I am separated from your family, if something really happens, how can you be the only one to take care of me? "What good is it for you to expect me to do you?"

"This …" Old Lady Wang smacked her lips. This was indeed the case as she also shivered.

"Look, Old Chief Chen is awake!" Someone on the side shouted out loudly. Everyone's eyes were focused on Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen let out a few heavy coughs, his eyes half closed: "Me …" What's wrong with me … Why are you lying here? "

Su Cheng Xi stood up. He had already spat out the half-way lotus which had been stained with a lot of venom. He only felt a little dizzy.

Even if there was a residue of the poison, it would still kill him. He hurriedly ate some leaves and side lotus before calming down.

"Eunuch, you're awake." The woman was vicious just a moment ago, but now she seemed a little strange.

Rong Xiu always felt that something was wrong. This woman seemed to be overly passionate, as if she was afraid of something.

Seeing the woman, Uncle Chen's face immediately changed: "You …" Stay away from me. "

The woman stopped walking closer and a sneer hung on her face, "Eunuch, since you are fine now, I will go back now."

Uncle Chen's trembling finally stopped. He raised his head and looked at Su Cheng Xi and Rong Xiu: "Cheng Xi? Could it be that you two saved me? "

"It was the couple who saved you. Old Chief Chen, why don't you thank them for the embroidery?" The atmosphere eased, and the men began to joke with each other.

Uncle Chen quickly said: "Cheng Xi, Rong Xiu, thank you both. If it wasn't for you two, I'm afraid I would have given up my life here."

Seeing that the situation had developed to the point where it was not as they had expected, Old Lady Wang and Gui Fen turned to Rong Xiu and left without wasting any more time.

"Uncle Chen, this is the Big Leaf Half-Lotus. Take it back and fry it three times a day. After seven days, the remaining poison in your body will be completely cleansed." Rong Xiu handed the big leaf half-lotus flower to Uncle Chen.

"Everyone, the heavens are kind. That Many-Banded Krait may have hurt people, but it is also a product of good fortune. Everyone should not hurt him. If he retaliates, it will most likely hurt someone else, and we just need to drive him away from this place."

The venom of that Many-Banded Krait was actually a good medicine. If she had the conditions in the future, she would be able to obtain some venom and add it to the brewing process to save him.

Everyone thought for a while and finally agreed to Rong Xiu's request. After everyone had left, Su Cheng Xi rubbed Rong Xiu's nose: "Don't hide your thoughts from me."

Rong Xiu was stunned. She avoided Su Cheng Xi's gaze and twisted her fingers as she said: "What are you talking about, master? I don't understand you at all."

However, unexpectedly, Su Cheng Xi suddenly scratched Rong Xiu's itchy meat, causing Rong Xiu to giggle and pant: "Good master, please spare Xiu'er."

Su Cheng Xi tightened his body and hugged Rong Xiu, "Xiu'er, I know that there are always secrets that people have."

These words seemed to be referring to something. Rong Xiu looked at Su Chengxi's pupils and thought to herself, I really do have a secret, but I didn't intentionally hide it.

If he told Su Cheng Xi about teleporting into another world, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it in a short amount of time. He might as well just hide it for now and wait until the time was ripe. Rong Xiu found a small handful of millet and fed it to the chicks. She looked at the sun and sun outside, and her heart was filled with hope. But not long after, she thought of that masked man. Who exactly was he?

"What is Xiu'er thinking? Why is she so lost in thought?" There was a faint smile on Su Cheng Xi's face as he placed two bamboo stools on the ground.

Rong Xiu was momentarily stunned, "Master, the bamboo used for this stool must have been properly fixed. It should be quite expensive, right?"

"I made this with bamboo strips." Su Cheng Xi pointed to a small piece of land at the side. "Let's set up a floral display here. In the future, before the moon sets, there will be clear clouds. We won't fail you."

Rong Xiu smiled to herself. Su Chengxi was indeed a scholar, and it seemed like he was not bad.

"Cheng Xi! "Cheng Xi!" He saw the village's Uncle Quan hurrying over from the other side of the road. From the looks of it, he had just finished his farm work, and there was a lot of sweat at the tip of his nose.

Her swarthy skin gave Rong Xiu a sense of vitality under the sunset.

"Uncle Quan, what happened?" Su Cheng Xi's expression was calm.

"A large group of people came to the village and said that they were the officials. You have seen the world outside, and the village chief wants you to come over and help him take a look." Gui Quan wiped off a handful of sweat before scooping a ladle of water from the water jar and pouring it over his head. Only after pouring it all over did his breathing become calmer.

In the original owner's memory, this was just an ordinary village. After walking for two hours, they would be able to travel all the land in the village. Although it was not isolated from the outside world, it was still a self-sufficient and peaceful village.

The people from the Shangguan Family coming here probably weren't that simple. In an instant, Rong Xiu thought of the heavily injured person, could it be that the people from the Shangguan Family came for that person?

"Rong Xiu'er, are you feeling unwell? That's right, the sun today is really too poisonous." Uncle Quan scooped another spoonful of water and gulped down two mouthfuls: "Cheng Xi, you'd better go quickly, come back so that you can have a baby with your wife."

Rong Xiu's cheeks flushed. She stole a glance at Su Chengxi and saw that a hint of red had also appeared on Su Chengxi's face.

"Husband, I want to go with you." She thought to herself, I'm afraid Su Cheng Xi will not agree. Although this place has the bones of the dead from the previous Qin dynasty, looking at the various laws and regulations here, I'm afraid that women are also restricted by these rules, making it very difficult for them to have any freedom.

However, Su Cheng Xi was not an ordinary person. He had a clear and distant smile on his face: "Xiu'er would like to go with your husband?"

For some reason, these words seemed to have a subtle meaning, but to prevent any changes, Rong Xiu still nodded and said, "I want to go."

"Uncle Quan, my wife and I will go now." Su Cheng Xi skillfully made a grass ring on the door. The method of this grass ring was exactly the same as the one that Rong Xiu had made before. Su Cheng Xi said, "Xiu'er, I learned this from you."

"Ah!" Rong Xiu gently bit her lower lip, that was just something she had tied up according to the method of military life and death.

The so-called 'Life and Death Clasping' could only be undone by those in the military, and those who had no other choice could only turn it into a 'Death Clasping'. When they were on duty and when they were in custody, if there were no handcuffs, they could only use a 'Life and Death Clasping', but they did not expect that Su Cheng Xi would be able to break it so quickly.

The couple didn't waste any more time as they rushed towards the Village Head's house.

The villagers here were all simple and honest, the house of the village chief also looked very ordinary, but it was not unusual. It was just that a group of light armored soldiers stood in the front yard, roughly fifteen or sixteen people.

Their faces were ferocious and their light armor had a unique aura of rust. It was as if they were soaked in blood. It was obviously black, but there seemed to be something red on it. It seemed to be blood stains.

These people must have killed before. Only people who had truly experienced death would have this kind of concentration and cruelty in their eyes.

In front of these people, the village chief did not have the slightest bit of presence, and was even a bit submissive as he said, "Gentlemen, this old man does not know how to speak. This is the only person in our village who has seen the world …" and I've read books... "

Su Cheng Xi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Everyone, I wonder why you have come to our village?"

"Has anyone come to your village recently?!" The leader of the soldiers had a robust stature and a jowly face. His eyes were brimming with intelligence. In front of this man, it seemed as if only the truth could guide him.

However, Su Cheng Xi acted as if he did not see anything. There was a calm and light aura coming from his body: "I don't think so."

This aura could be said to be his natural barrier. No matter how sharp the edge was, once it reached here, it would become gentle with him.

That soldier could not help but feel infuriated. He held his waist knife horizontally and said, "Heh, if you guys didn't know, then it would be alright. But if someone in your village really hid it and didn't report, then all one hundred and sixteen people in the village will be slaughtered."

Rong Xiu's eyebrows jumped. She didn't dare to believe that this person would actually speak of such a cruel matter so calmly. It was like killing chickens and dogs, or chopping melons and vegetables.

The soldier raised his chin, and someone threw a bag of items behind him. The smell of blood gushed out all of a sudden.

"Open it and take a look." The soldier sneered.

Su Cheng Xi was about to step forward when the soldier placed his waist blade horizontally in front of him: "I want that little lady to open it and take a look."

Rong Xiu was stunned. Was it for her to open it? She looked inquiringly at the sergeant, whose eyes did not hide anything. He looked at her without any scruples, as if he wanted to see through her.

Such a gaze could easily destroy an ordinary girl's mind. The Embroidery of the Ember of the Hibiscus was no longer an ordinary woman. Her will had been trained through many years in the army.

But at this moment, she had to pretend to be afraid, so that these soldiers, who had seen so much slaughter, would not become suspicious.
