Chapter 289: Scar Cable
Murong Jie landed on Madman's Island, Xiao Tuo and the imperial doctor were making pills, seeing him coming, raised his eyes and asked urgently: "Did you find it?"
Murong Jie shook his head, sat down, and looked at the pill in his hand.
The light in Xiao Tuo's eyes dimmed inch by inch, "Can't you find it?"
Murong Jie remained silent, and his face was expressionless.
Xiao Tuo felt sad, "I'm sorry, I failed to protect her well."
The corner of Murong Jie's mouth curled into a sneer, the person who was most sorry for her was him.
He had foreseen all kinds of dangers, but he trusted Chen Taijun too much. She said that she had sent twelve generals from the Chen family, so he felt at ease that Zi'an could come back safely.
However, he didn't know that the twelve generals of the Chen family disappeared shortly after they left the city, and they haven't returned yet.
He has a sense of urgency, but he is unwilling to let go of the chaos in Beijing.
Xiao Tuo looked at him, "Before she was swept away by the vortex, she said something and asked me to tell the prince."
Murong Jie raised his head, "What did she say?"
Xiao Tuo said softly: "She asked me to tell the prince that she likes you."
Pain climbed into his eyes, he smiled, and his smile was very childish, his throat was dry and hoarse, "This king thought that she would never say anything in her life."
"She was hit by an arrow, and she knew she couldn't survive." Xiao Tuo never said this, because everyone was hopeful, so he couldn't bear to say it.
Murong Jie had momentary dyspnea, "What?"
"Yes, when we were escaping, the killer shot an arrow, and she got an arrow in her right hand. I took her to swim, and she couldn't bear to drag me down, so she pushed me away at the vortex. Before she was swept away by the vortex, follow me Say, let me escape and take the prescription back, and then let me tell you that she likes you." He still can't figure out why there is a vortex all of a sudden.
The hopes in Murong Jie's heart were completely shattered, don't bully the mountains, don't bully the water, how dangerous the sea is, he knows, don't say he is not injured, even if he is not injured, it is not easy to live.
She can't survive.
This recognition made Murong Jie feel a sharp pain in his heart.
He stood up and walked away without looking back.
Xiao Tuo stood up, "My lord, don't look for her anymore. There are so many people looking for her. If she was alive, she would have been found long ago. Let's go back. Beijing still needs a lord."
Murong Jie didn't look back, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped him, and the golden light enveloped his sad body.
Juliang Town.
It is about thirty miles away from Jichun Town. There are many fishermen here, and almost all of them make a living by going out to sea to fish.
On the coast opposite Juliang Town, there is a small island. The island is dangerous and infested with poisonous snakes. Most people will not land on this island.
On a small island, a woman built a fire and roasted a fish just caught from the sea.
Her arm was wrapped with light gauze, presumably her arm was injured.
Three days ago, when she woke up, she was already on this small island. When she opened her eyes, she was almost scared out of her wits.
She was lying on the ground, surrounded by colorful poisonous snakes.
But these poisonous snakes didn't attack her, they just surrounded her quietly. She sat up holding her breath, and saw a woman with her back facing her, grilling fish.
For the next three days, grilling fish became her job.
When she tried to quit, the woman always said, "I saved you, you are my slave, if you don't do it I will let the snake eat you."
She didn't think those poisonous snakes would swallow people, but when she saw the woman whistled and a few boa constrictors as thick as her waist came, she believed it.
Not to mention one Xia Zian, even a few Xia Zian are no match for these snakes.
Another old woman came yesterday. She said she was an old woman, but she was not sure, because her face was covered with a light veil, and she only saw old-fashioned clothes.
But this woman is more arrogant and has a big air. After she came, she played with the boa constrictor and didn't do any work. The fishing was done by another woman.
He didn't talk to her either, but just glanced at her lightly, and then ignored her.
One day, after Zian grilled the fish, he took it to the poisonous snake woman. She glanced at it and said, "Send it to the old aunt."
The old aunt she was talking about was the woman who came later.
Zian had no choice but to walk over with the fish. The old aunt was half lying on the beach, with a boa constrictor lying on her head, and she directly used the python as a pillow.
She was really afraid of the big python, so she said from a distance: "Old aunt, I ate fish."
"En!" The old aunt gave her a flat look, "Bring it here."
Zian had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over. Fortunately, the snake was lazy, and after making sure that she was not aggressive, he ignored her.
She squatted halfway, and put the grilled fish served in banana leaves on the beach, "Old aunt, use it slowly."
The old aunt looked at her fingers, "Your ring is not bad, show me."
Zi'an didn't take off, but asked: "Old aunt, I thank you for saving my life. When I return to the capital, I will definitely thank you well. But, can you please send me back to the capital first?"
They must have been worried about her for a few days, and probably thought she was dead.
The old aunt said indifferently: "Why are you in a hurry? Your injury is not healed yet, so stay here for a few days before we talk about it."
"My injury is fine, and there is no inflammation." Zi'an said quickly.
The old aunt didn't speak, she didn't eat fish, and she didn't ask her for a ring. She closed her eyes slowly and ignored Zian directly.
Zian was very anxious, but he couldn't leave.
She tried to walk, but those poisonous snakes seemed to have spirituality. If she wanted to leave, they would surround her, sticking up the snake's head and spitting out snake letters, which was very terrifying.
She was a little worried that she would be trapped on this island for the rest of her life.
The next morning, when she woke up, she saw that her ring was on the old aunt's finger.
She was really angry, "Old aunt, that ring belongs to me, you shouldn't have taken it without permission."
The old aunt stretched out her hand and looked at it, as if admiring, "I exchanged something with you."
"What?" Zi'an was taken aback.
But I saw the poisonous snake woman approaching with a coiled snake in her hand, "This."
She approached, but Zian found that it was not a snake, but a scarred rope.
She was very angry, "No, I won't change it, you should return the ring to me."
"Don't underestimate this rope, it's called the scar rope, and it's much better than your ring." The poisonous snake woman snorted coldly.
Zi'an wanted to go forward to pursue it, but the python suddenly raised its head and crawled towards Zi'an fiercely. Zian was so frightened that he grabbed the scar rope from the poisonous snake woman's hand, "Okay, change, let's change."
"Well, those who know the current affairs are the best!" The old aunt was obviously satisfied with her compromise.
Zian took the scarred rope and went back to the beach resentfully.
It's really annoying, I have been getting angry here, and I can't leave.
She sat on the beach, bent her legs, feeling sad, Murong Jie, you must think I'm dead, right? will you come to me If you don't come to me, I will die here sooner or later.
