Chi Su stared at the handkerchief on Xue Hengzhao's hand and asked in surprise: "What's going on? Why is there blood on the door panel?"
"This is eel blood," Xue Hengzhao threw away the handkerchief and said while washing his hands, "The door is originally red, and this thing is inconspicuous when applied on it, and usually no one will notice it.
It's this thing that caused the knock on the door. If you don't believe it, if you clean the door later, tonight will definitely not be like last night. "
"The more you talk, the more confused I become. Why is there a knock on the door when there is eel blood on it?" Chi Su frowned and asked, "Is it possible that there is some kind of spell cast on this door?"
"Yes and no." Xue Heng cleaned her hands and wiped them slowly with a clean handkerchief. Her hands were slender and soft, just like two plain orchids, so touching.
“The smell of eel blood attracts bats, and if you apply it on the door, the bats will come crashing into the door.
Bats are nocturnal, so there is nothing going on during the day, but at night there will be constant knocking on the door.
And once someone opens the door, the bat will fly away immediately and silently.
This thing flies around and naturally leaves no trace on the ground. "Xue Hengzhao explained, "People who don't know why will suspect that ghosts are knocking on the door, and they will inevitably be afraid. "
"That's not right." After hearing what she said, Chi Su thought for a moment and shook his head, "If it were done at another time, it would be fine. This is March 9 weather, and bats will hibernate."
"You only know one thing but not the other," Xue Hengzhao picked up the fire chopsticks and fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier. "Although bats also hibernate, they are not like other birds and beasts. They are in light sleep and do not move at all. Will wake up.
If someone raises them, adding something to their food will prevent them from hibernating. "
In fact, Xue Hengzhao not only knew this, she also knew how to prepare medicine to prevent bats from hibernating.
"When you said that, I remembered that I did hear my grandfather say it before." Chi Su said hurriedly, "One year they entered a cave in the mountains, and the weather was extremely cold at that time. Who would have just lit a torch? After that, the bats above the cave became active."
"Bats are different from snakes and frogs in that their blood is warm," Xue Hengzhao said. "If they are fed some drugs that can warm their blood, they will not hibernate.
And just now I saw a few grains of luminous sand outside, which were fresh, which further indicates that there are bats in the yard. "
Luminous sand is bat guano, which can be used as medicine to treat eye diseases.
"Where did you know these things? This is the first time I know about these weird things when I grow up to this size." Chi Su stared at Xue Hengzhao, feeling that she was unfathomable.
Xue Hengzhao chuckled lightly and said, "It's nothing special, it's just that I like to learn from other things."
"No wonder you didn't care last night." Chi Su said, taking a basin and a cloth, "I'm going to clean the door right now."
"Don't worry, wait until it gets dark before doing it." Xue Heng said, "Originally, they are hiding and we are showing the light. From now on, we will try to avoid their eyes in everything we do."
"Then I'll go get some more water and put it in the house. When it gets dark, I'll wipe it with hot water, otherwise it will definitely freeze."
Chi Su looks thin, but he is quite powerful.
He also has a bold temper and never lets Xue Heng do any hard work.
Chi Su went outside to fetch water and brought it in. His hands were red from the cold. He put them on the fire and said, "You said those palace ladies before were also frightened by this thing?"
"Maybe it is, maybe it is not," Xue Hengzhao sat in the shadow of the window, his side face coated with a layer of light gold, and the halo flickered, revealing a bit of mystery and solemnity in his weakness, "But I think they should have more than this trick. .”
"No matter, since I know he is just pretending to be a ghost, there is nothing to fear." Chi Su gritted his teeth, "Don't ask me to catch him, otherwise I will give him a good meal!"
After he finished his fierce attack, he couldn't help but feel depressed and said dejectedly: "It's a pity that it's hard for two fists to defeat four hands. They have more people and strength over there, but they still control us.
Qian Quail, that old dog, how could he stop if he doesn't achieve his goal?
Our struggle is just to win the moment of peace in front of us. After all, there are still countless tortures, and I am afraid that I will have to take that road in the end.
Our current status is as low as it can be. We are like insects and ants being pinched by money and quails. How can anyone advocate for us?
"Since there is no one to advocate, we must try our best to save ourselves." Xue Hengzhao said, "What about insects and ants? As long as you are unwilling to let others take advantage of you, it will not be easy for them to succeed."
Although Chi Su is a man of character, his mind is too simple.
She only thought that she was too small compared to Qian Sanchun and others, but she forgot that although the bug was small, a bite could kill someone.
As long as the bug is poisonous enough.
"It's useless to worry," Xue Hengzhao said, "At least I can sleep peacefully tonight."
As Xue Hengzhao said, there was no strange movement that night, and the two of them slept peacefully.
When she woke up the next morning, Chi Su was in high spirits and said to Xue Hengzhao very happily: "Miss Xue, thank you very much. I feel much lighter now and my illness is almost cured."
However, Xue Hengzhao still had the same lukewarm attitude and said: "Yesterday I advised you not to be so depressed, and today I advise you not to be too happy. Since those people want to force us to submit, they will never stop here."
"Then...then what else will they do?" Chi Su couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I don't know yet." Xue Hengzhao shook his head gently, "I can only wait and see."
Breakfast was brought to them by Shi Dianjin.
"Those people are really looking down on others. They know that the money manager doesn't want to see you, so they don't even give you food." Shi Dianjin put down the food and said, "Are you... all okay?"
"It was quite quiet last night." Chi Su said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Shi."
"That's good, that's good. Fortunately, you two still have company here." Shi Dianjin said with a smile, "I have to go, it won't be good if others see me."
After he left, Shi Chi Su couldn't help but sigh: "I can see that good people in this palace have a bad life. But those two-faced and treacherous people live a prosperous life."
Xue Hengzhao didn't say anything. She didn't feel any dissatisfaction with this.
Because she knows that villains always succeed more in this world, because they are better at guessing and catering to people's hearts.
Xue Hengzhao has known for a long time that she is a freak, because in her heart, she does not worship upright gentlemen, nor does she deeply hate villains.
She never told anyone this idea, because once she said it, it would be regarded as heresy.
Of course, she doesn't admire villains and hate gentlemen.
She just turned a blind eye to it all.
In other words, she prefers to be an outsider.
It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people. She wants to be alone but can't, so she has no choice but to go out and stir up the situation.
