"Lin 'er, what's wrong?" Bessimo happened to come in and saw Mu Lin 'er's silver needle stabbing Chow Taifu's nape. He hurriedly caught the baby that was about to fall.
The boss also hurriedly put the bowl of medicine on the table and helped hold Chow Taifu.
"Brother Chow has been poisoned. It's a colorless and fragrant poison that can make people feel uneasy and hallucinate. Most importantly, it's bloodthirsty." Mu Lin 'er walked forward, picked up the steaming medicine and walked to the bedside.
She helped the lady boss up and fed him.
"Boss, while the lady boss hasn't woken up yet, I think you'd better tell us what happened after the woman lifted her cloak and what happened just now." Mu Lin 'er's tone was a little unfriendly.
From beginning to end, the boss did not tell everyone what happened. It was not that he did not have time, but he did not want to say.
The people in the room looked at each other. Accompanying them was the even snoring of the baby and the faint breathing of the lady boss who had fallen asleep after taking the medicine.
Mu Lin 'er sat at the table calmly. She reached out and turned over three teacups, pouring cold tea in turn.
The boss looked at the baby in Bessimo's hands and then at his sleeping wife on the bed. His expression changed from gratification to uneasiness. His face was deathly pale.
"Miss, don't ask." The boss took the baby from Bessimo's arms with a pained expression.
He sat at the table with the baby in his arms and faced Mu Lin 'er. His head was buried very low, but the uneasiness in his voice betrayed him.
"Boss, if you don't tell us, maybe the lady boss won't wake up." Mu Lin 'er looked thoughtfully at the lady boss on the bed.
"What? Isn't she fine now? " The boss raised his head in surprise and looked at Mu Lin 'er with a worried expression. Due to overexertion, the baby in his arms struggled uncomfortably.
Bessimo also sat next to Mu Lin 'er and supported Chow Taifu who was lying on the ground. He asked, "Boss, why did the lady boss act like this when you were in the room just now?" He asked tactfully.
The boss did not speak. He just looked at the bedside with a pale face and did not say a word.
Time passed bit by bit. Looking at the darkness outside the window, Mu Lin 'er and Bessimo felt that time had passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already so late.
Mu Lin 'er didn't know that the time she spent on alchemy was not short.
"Boss, why do you want us to leave before the sun sets?" His tone was aggressive.
"I … … Miss … …" The boss looked at Mu Lin 'er in pain. His mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
Mu Lin 'er was curious. If it weren't for the lady boss's frightened face, the boss would have said that he saw the woman. Why was he so frightened now? The look in his eyes was not as frightened as the Lady Boss's earlier expression.
"Boss, do you know that monster?" Bessimo snorted coldly.
Bessimo's tone was very cold. Mu Lin 'er couldn't help but glance at him. She didn't expect Bessimo's tone to be so unforgiving.
"Miss, I'm begging you. Don't ask, don't ask. You can leave at dawn."
"Hey, boss, it seems that I really saved the lady boss for nothing. Could it be that you two are playing tricks on me?" Mu Lin 'er was angry.
She was working so hard to help them concoct pills, but they were hiding it from her, and their lives were in danger. If she hadn't been sensitive to drugs just now, she would have been tricked by Brother Zhou.
Mu Lin 'er's eyes were very angry, and so was Bessimo's. However, no matter how much they stared at the boss, he just lowered his head and didn't look at them. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. The boss felt cold and his body trembled.
The wind started to blow outside, and it gradually became a strong gale. Hearing the wind outside the house, the boss suddenly ran to the bed with the little tiger in his arms. He held the little tiger tightly with one hand and held the lady boss's hand with the other trembling hand.
"Bessimo, be careful." Mu Lin 'er glanced at the black shadow that seemed to be the shadow of a tree and a human figure outside. She stood on the other side to protect Zhou Taifu.
"Father." The little tiger had woken up at some point.
"Xu, don't talk. Be good, be good." The boss hugged the little tiger tightly and spoke in a trembling voice.
The wind kept knocking on the window, patter, patter. It seemed that someone was beating the rhythm.
When Mu Lin 'er turned to look at the boss and was about to say something, the boss seemed to have made up his mind. He took a few steps forward and put the little tiger into Mu Lin' er's arms: "Miss, please save the tiger. The tiger is still small, please." He just saw Mu Lin 'er suddenly disappear, so he wanted Mu Lin' er to take the little tiger away.
"Boss, what's going on? If you don't tell me, you should take the little tiger yourself." Mu Lin 'er pretended to be cruel and handed the little tiger back to the boss.
At this time, the little tiger didn't speak or cry. He just looked at his father and sister.
Suddenly, the little tiger hugged Mu Lin 'er's neck and said softly, "Sister, I'll tell you."
"Tiger." The boss looked at the little tiger anxiously. This child didn't know anything. What was he going to tell her?
Looking at the little tiger hugging Mu Lin 'er's neck, the boss walked heavily to the bed and looked at the boss's wife affectionately. He slowly helped her up and held her in his arms. He said, "Miss, please take care of the tiger. I, Liu Dahu, will repay your kindness in my next life." He didn't look at Mu Lin' er anymore. It seemed that he was waiting for something.
"Tiger, tell me what's going on." Mu Lin 'er felt that the boss's mood wasn't right, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"Sister, the aunt was very beautiful. She wasn't scary. It's just that when mom saw the aunt, she couldn't speak. Mom was like the mother of the little girl in the town. She was crazy." The little tiger slowly thought about the change in his mother that day.
That day, he saw the boss's wife under the counter. He saw the beautiful aunt and smiled very beautifully. But he couldn't understand what was hidden under that beautiful smile.
"What happened then?" Mu Lin 'er didn't expect the situation to be like this.
The beautiful woman should be someone the boss's wife knew. The boss was scared because she was afraid of the woman in the black cloak.
"After that, that aunt said something to my mother and left." The little tiger didn't know if this was what Mu Lin 'er asked his father, but he did see it like this.
Mu Lin 'er thought about it and walked to the bed with Tiger in her arms. She asked, "Boss, the black shadow that attacked the boss's wife tonight was that person, right?" She didn't say it because she wanted the boss to know what she was talking about.
The boss, who was originally expressionless, also remembered the scene when he heard the little tiger's words. His eyes were full of hatred, but because he lowered his head, no one saw it. When he heard Mu Lin 'er's words, he nodded heavily.
He sighed and said, "Ah, what will come will come."
The boss listened to the howling wind outside, sighed, and slowly said to Mu Lin 'er and Bessimo, "I don't know who that woman is either. Ever since that incident, Hu Zi's mother has been very scared whenever she mentions that woman. Her expression is abnormal. No matter how I ask, she won't tell me. She just keeps trembling." Saying this, he looked at his sleeping wife.
