This night was destined to be a turbulent one.
At the same time, Lin Mengya's impression of the aboriginals was renewed once again.
They had indeed delivered the news of the antidote to the group of people outside in advance.
However, they did not trust them, so they decided to act in advance.
Lin Mengya, who was sound asleep, suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.
The next moment, she opened her eyes. The fatigue on her face was gone, and she regained her consciousness at the fastest speed possible.
At the same time, Baisu pushed the door open and entered.
"What happened outside?" She asked softly as she put on her coat.
"Master, someone is trying to sneak up on us," Baisu reported with a serious look on her face.
At the same time, she stepped forward to help Lin Mengya adjust her clothes.
"How many people are there? Are we able to hold them off? "
Although the situation was urgent, she was not worried.
Yu must have made sufficient arrangements before he left.
Without ensuring the safety of the three of them, it was absolutely impossible for her man to leave at ease.
"Although there are many of them, we have enough people. At least they won't be able to attack before dawn."
Lin Mengya nodded. That was right.
But Baisu continued, "But Young Master Huo seems to have found something unusual, so he wants you to go and take a look."
Now that Huo Xiao had a family and parents, he had changed from "Master Huo" to "Young Master Huo".
But his ability had not deteriorated.
Since he had asked Baisu to call her, he must have found something unusual.
"Let's go and take a look."
She put on her clothes and left with Baisu.
While she was away, there were naturally people who would secretly look after her two treasures.
.....
As soon as she arrived at the courtyard of the family of three, she was dragged by Aunt Fang to see what Huo Xiao had brought back.
"This is …"
It was a small, dusty earthen jar.
It was about the size of a fist, but strangely, the mouth of the jar was sealed with oiled paper. At first glance, there was nothing strange about it.
Aunt Fang took her to a place that was a step away from the jar. She pointed at the jar and said excitedly, "I finally remember where I have seen this thing."
Hearing that, everyone looked at Aunt Fang.
A hint of wariness and fear flashed on the latter's face. In the end, it turned into a hint of vague hatred.
Auntie Fang took a deep breath. "I've seen this in my dowry."
"Dowry?" Lin Mengya and Huo Xiao asked at the same time.
They looked at the jar, then at Aunt Fang.
How was this possible?
What's more, this little thing didn't look like anything valuable. At that time, Aunt Fang didn't care whether the Fang family was in dire straits or not. She was the daughter of an aristocratic family and the eldest daughter of the Fang family. No matter how she looked at it, this earthen jar shouldn't have been part of Aunt Fang's dowry.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Huo confirmed Auntie Fang's memory.
"I remember this too. I saw it by accident. At the time, I thought that the Fang Clan had sent the wrong dowry."
Once these memories came out, many of the previously forgotten details would also become exceptionally clear.
Lin Mengya and Huo Xiao looked at each other.
If both of them said so, then it should be true.
The question now was, what exactly was in this earthen jar?
Seeing that the middle-aged couple had fallen into reminiscence again, Lin Mengya lowered her voice and asked Huo Xiao.
"Where did you get this thing?"
Huo Xiao's expression also darkened slightly before he said, "An inconspicuous guy secretly stuffed it into my body."
"Huh?" Lin Mengya blinked her big eyes.
There was a clear sense of distrust in her eyes as she looked at Huo Xiao.
What a joke!
There was nothing special about this thing. Why would someone give it to Huo Xiao? Or …
She looked at the earthen jar.
From the beginning until now, she hadn't paid attention to what was in it.
Moreover, her system hadn't warned her about it.
But just now, she clearly heard an almost undetectable sound coming from the clay jar.
"Shh!"
She raised her finger to her lips to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then, she approached the small earthen jar bit by bit until she squatted around it.
"Did you feel it too?" Huo Xiao followed her and asked softly.
Moreover, he was prepared to pick up this damned thing and throw it away at any time if anything were to happen.
Lin Mengya nodded, but her eyes were fixed on the earthen jar.
This thing … didn't seem to be a parasite.
But there was a movement inside.
She closed her eyes again and listened carefully to the sound coming from inside. Then, she opened her eyes and looked at the earthen jar in front of her thoughtfully.
If one had to describe the sound, it would be the sound of something exploding.
After thinking for a while, she stretched out her fair hand.
"You …" Before he could finish his words, Huo Xiao saw a shocking scene.
Her hand hovered over the small clay pot, only a fist's distance away.
However, a few strands of dark red vines, which were as thick as silk threads, quietly stretched out from the sealed opening of the earthen jar.
The vines spread very quickly. In almost the blink of an eye, they had covered the outer wall of the earthen jar.
What …
The Huo family of three were dumbfounded.
But they didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Lin Mengya would be distracted.
Because now, she was like playing with a kitten or a puppy. She kept changing the direction of her hand to attract the small blood-red vines to surround the small earthen jar into a blood-red ball.
"Gulp." Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Lin Mengya then withdrew her hand and took a few steps back.
At this moment, the three of them looked at her with a hint of awe.
She was a real warrior!
That thing looked quite strange and scary, but in her hands, it just became … a toy?
Uncle Huo and Huo Xiao couldn't help but feel a little complicated when they realized this.
Right now, this woman was really hard for these big men to understand.
They could only say that she was awesome!
"This thing is not a parasite."
After her appraisal, although she still didn't know what it was, at least she was sure that it was definitely not a parasite.
From the growth habits of this thing, Lin Mengya felt that it was either because of the temperature or because of something in the human body that attracted the vines to grow.
But from the current situation, she felt that it should be the latter.
"If it's not a parasite, then what the hell is this?"
It was Aunt Fang who asked the question.
Unexpectedly, the scene just now scared the father and son of the Huo family, but Aunt Fang's eyes were full of curiosity.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya guessed and gave her own answer.
"It should be some kind of plant with a special growth habit, but at present, I don't know what the characteristics of this plant are."
In any case, based on her experience, something with such a strange growth habit was definitely not a good plant.
The few of them were talking.
Suddenly, a big mouse with shiny fur rushed up from outside the yard.
Following it was the teacher with a murderous look.
"Where are you going? Today, I'd like to see if you can escape from the palm of my hand! "
That was the mouse he used to test medicine.
However, because this one was used to test medicine for Mo Yan, he deliberately fed it a little fatter, hoping that the effect of the medicine would be closer.
Unexpectedly, this thing was very sneaky. As soon as he opened the cage, the big mouse squeezed out of it. Then he grabbed the soles of his shoes and chased after the mouse all the way.
The mouse was also in a panic, and it immediately got in front of Lin Mengya and the others.
Unexpectedly, when it passed by the small blood-red pottery jar, its foot was suddenly entangled by a thin vine.
Almost in an instant, all the blood-red vines climbed up the body of the mouse along the previous vine.
Lin Mengya only saw a blood-red shadow flash in front of her.
After that, the blood-red vine disappeared again.
Even she didn't see clearly whether the vine had retracted or had completely entered the body of the mouse.
And the next moment, the mouse fell to the ground.
The entire process only lasted for a few short seconds.
When Baili Rui rushed over with the soles of his shoes, he was about to catch the mouse, but he was stopped by Lin Mengya.
"Teacher, just stay where you are. Don't come over!"
Almost at the same time, Baili Rui's body froze.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he had an obsessive trust in his little apprentice.
But after he came to his senses, before he could ask, he saw that the big mouse, which had fallen to the ground and pretended to be dead, suddenly jumped up again.
It did jump up, and it didn't look like a normal mouse at all.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked at the stiff limbs of the mouse, which was obviously swaying when it walked. Suddenly, she didn't know what happened.
Until the next moment.
The mouse suddenly let out a shrill cry, and then rushed to Baili Rui, who was closest to it.
"Hey! You're really going against the heavens! You actually dare to bite me! "
Lin Mengya was still worried, but she saw her teacher backhand, and the soles of the shoes in his hands were like a ping-pong racket.
With a bang, the big mouse was completely slapped away by her teacher.
Baili Rui had practiced this skill for many years.
When he was locked up in the dungeon of Prince Yu's Mansion, there were often mice sneakily trying to harm his medicine.
At that time, when he had concocted the rat repellent medicine, and it hadn't worked yet, he had practiced this stunt of slapping the mouse.
Unexpectedly, he was still as good as before.
No matter how tyrannical the rat was before, it was completely silent after falling down. It laid on the ground and became a dead rat in name only.
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment, and then she gave her teacher a thumbs-up.
Amazing!
