"Slut, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The cold voice didn't show any emotion, but one could sense the murderous intent of the other party. As long as Xia Shang turned around, he would definitely cut his neck without hesitation.
"Is this how you repay kindness with enmity?" Xia Shang asked coldly.
"Shut up! It's true that you saved me, but you can't just forget what happened last night and the humiliation you gave me this morning."
"What do you want? Kill me? My wife said that everyone in the Red Flower Society is a loyal and righteous man, but it seems that's not entirely true."
"You don't have to provoke me. I tell you, no one has dared to humiliate me like you so far. I will kill you now, and then commit suicide on the spot to repay you for saving my life."
"No, no, no..."
"It's too late to regret now!"
"I mean don't commit suicide on the spot after you kill me. It's better to die far away. I don't want to go to hell with a big-breasted and brainless woman like you."
"Who are you talking about with big breasts and no brains?"
"I'll talk about whoever has big breasts."
"You lecher! You're looking for death!"
With a delicate shout, the long knife on her neck was instantly withdrawn, and then raised high, and it was about to fall on her head!
Xia Shang didn't move.
The knife stopped in mid-air, and Shangguan Chan asked in a low voice: "Why don't you hide?"
Before Xia Shang could answer, the door was suddenly opened, and Qin Huairou drew his sword with a furious look on his face. With a "clang", Shangguan Chan's knife was swept away.
"Shangguan Chan! What are you doing? If you dare to hurt my husband, I will kill you!"
"Madam, calm down." Xia Shang smiled and turned back, his expression was very calm, grabbing Qin Huairou's wrist and stroking it gently, "Miss Shangguan was just joking with me."
"Joke? She put the knife on my husband's neck."
"If Miss Shangguan really wanted to kill me, why did she say so much to me? She could just do it directly. Miss Shangguan, is what Xia said right?"
Shangguan Chan was wearing a white single dress, her face was pale, she stared at Xia Shang with her eyes, snorted coldly, then turned back, went back to bed and got into the quilt.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Qin Huairou breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and walked to the bedside and sat down: "Sister Shangguan, your injuries have not healed, and the remaining poison in your body has not been cleared. You shouldn't move around."
It seems that she had said too much to Xia Shang before. Shangguan Chan didn't want to talk now and closed her eyes directly. But her brows were furrowed, and her eyelids were twitching uncontrollably, which showed that she was not feeling well at this time.
Although Shangguan Chan was much better than yesterday, she was not out of danger in essence. Qin Huairou's treatment of her only helped her recover some physical strength and true energy, allowing her to use her own skills to suppress the toxicity in her body.
But this is not a long-term solution, and the poison she was poisoned with is extremely fierce, although it may explode. Once it explodes, it will definitely take Shangguan Chan's life directly.
Qin Huairou probed Shangguan Chan's body again, shook her head uneasily, and turned back to signal Xia Shang to talk outside.
Xia Shang guessed something from his wife's expression: "Madam, her condition is not optimistic?"
Qin Huairou nodded and said in a low voice: "I underestimated the power of the poisonous handprint. The person who seriously injured Shangguan Chan is very powerful. I am afraid that even my father is not his opponent. When I checked her this morning, although her meridians were damaged, they were relatively stable. Who knew that her meridians have been eroded by toxins and her heart is in danger."
"Can that woman be saved?"
"Husband, do you really want to save her? She has provoked an extremely dangerous martial artist. Saving her may cause trouble."
"Of course I don't want to save her. But my husband... Isn't she from the same school as her? As long as Madam wants to save her, then she will be saved."
"My husband...thank you."
"Why thank you? If there is a disaster, you and I will share the responsibility."
"Yes!" Qin Huairou nodded heavily, "Then I will arrange it right away. Sister Shangguan needs some medicinal herbs now, I will ask Xiaoyue to buy some. Also, I will ask my father to come, and he will help Sister Shangguan suppress the poison. During this period, my husband and Yazhi have to keep boiling water at home, so that Sister Shangguan can soak in the water and use her power to force out the poison."
...
It was dusk, and the setting sun was shining, lengthening the busy figures in the yard.
The workers had all left, and Uncle Zhong was cleaning up the mess.
Yazhi was guarding the stove to boil water, not very skilled, and her pretty face was covered with soot, which looked both cute and funny.
Xiaoyue went to buy medicine.
Qin Huairou went to Yangzhou City, and it was estimated that she would not be able to come back tonight.
Xia Shang brought the first basin of steaming hot water and pushed open the door of the thatched house: "Hey, I'm coming in."
Inside the thatched house, a brand new screen blocked the middle of the house. Behind the screen was an equally brand new wooden basin. On the hanger on one side of the screen were several clothes. A snow-white arm stretched out halfway, gently twisting slender fingers, and gently threw the only colored red bellyband on the rack.
I don't know what the scenery behind the screen is like, is it a cold and arrogant iceberg, or a graceful spring garden?
It's a pity that there is no light in the house, and the screen has not been chosen. Why not choose some made of white gauze?
Thinking about it, a voice came from the screen: "Just put it at the door."
"Is your injury serious? Do you want a hand?"
"Don't worry about it."
Xia Shang spat, and after putting down the water, he didn't linger any more.
Time passed little by little, and the night spread quickly like ink drops on paper.
Torches were lit in the yard. Zhongbo was a little worried because Xiaoyue hadn't come back yet. He said goodbye to Xia Shang and went out alone with a lantern to look for her.
It's time to change the water now.
Xia Shang brought another basin of hot water and pushed open the door. He immediately felt a wave of heat rushing out. The whole hut was full of dense steam, feeling like a sauna.
Especially behind the screen, the steaming mist was like rolling clouds. You couldn't see anything, but you could hear the sound of water rolling.
"I put the water here."
"Yeah."
A soft voice came from the inner room.
Then Xia Shang left the hut again.
Half an hour passed like this, and it was time to change the water again, but Xiaoyue and Zhongbo didn't come back. Xia Shang was a little worried, so he asked Yazhi to go and see again, and he went into the hut with another basin of water.
The physical scene was the same as before. Nothing could be seen in the thatched house except the steaming heat, and the heat was getting thicker and thicker.
Putting down the basin, Xia Shang said, "The water is here, I'll put it down first."
This time, no sound came from behind the screen.
Xia Shang didn't care, turned around and went out and closed the door.
But as soon as he closed the door, he felt something was wrong.
Will the woman suddenly have a problem inside?
This possibility is still there, but the door is closed at this moment. If he goes in and runs into her again, he may be misunderstood again.
After thinking about it, Xia Shang opened a crack in the door and looked into the crack with half-squinted eyes.
If Shangguan Chan took the basin, it would be fine, otherwise it would be a problem.
Who knew that as soon as Xia Shang focused his attention on the crack in the door, someone slapped him from behind: "Master, you are a bad guy! You dare to peek! I will complain to my wife."
