In the early morning, He Yue'er had just woken up. Xiao Huang and Xiao Lan heard the movement in the room, opened the door and entered the room to wait for He Yue'er to get up.
"Oh, I've been cured a long time ago. I don't need you to wait on me every day. Even Dr. Rong said it's no longer necessary and has left. Yet you still wait on me here and there all day long." He Yue'er said dissatisfied.
Xiaolan and Xiaohuang pursed their lips and divided their work. Xiao Lan helped He Yue'er comb her hair, and Xiao Huang picked up the clothes and dressed He Yue'er.
"As servants, shouldn't we just serve the master? Otherwise, the master's money would have been wasted, wouldn't Sister Yue'er feel bad about it?" Xiao Huang said while helping Yue'er get dressed.
"Oh? Serve the master, right? Yi Xiaodao is your master, and I am not. If you want to serve you, just serve him. When he comes back, I will send you all to warm his bed!" He Yue'er smiled narrowly.
"The relationship is great, we are so happy! I'm just afraid that when the time comes, Sister Yue'er will send us in and kick us out, and we will have to rush to warm the bed!" Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu held the bags. Shui came in from outside, and Xiao Hong spoke first, making He Yue'er's face turn red.
Xiao Lan lightly hit Xiao Hong, pushed Xiao Hong aside, and said, "Sister Yue'er, Sister Huang and I encountered a strange thing last night."
"What's weird?" He Yue'er became interested.
Xiao Lan said: "On the way back to the room last night, Sister Huang and I saw a large group of rats in the corridor. The rats crawled all over the wall densely, and then they actually formed three characters on the wall! But we didn't know each other. I was literate, and when I called Ah San and Ah Si later, the mouse was gone. Ah San and Ah Si took a look at the situation and said that there were indeed rats. Ah San also said that he was going to buy rat poison today!"
When He Yue'er heard this, her heart moved slightly. When she and Yi Xiaodao were together, the two talked about everything. She naturally knew about the cheap eldest brother in Yi Xiaodao's palace, but she had never seen him. What was Yi Xiaodao afraid of? Yue'er was afraid of the mouse, so she mentioned it. At this time, He Yue'er thought about it.
"Three words? You may remember what those three words are? Can you write them down?" He Yue'er became serious.
Since he is Yi Xiaodao's eldest brother, he is his own eldest brother. I heard that the eldest brother can control mice, so these three words are probably the news about the cheap eldest brother. Whether it was left to Yi Xiaodao or told to herself, He Yueer did not dare to neglect it.
"Sister Yue'er, wait a minute, I'll try to write." Xiaolan handed the comb to Xiaolu and went out to find paper and pen.
Ever since He Yue'er and Xiang Lian'er didn't know the signboards in Wancheng, they were ridiculed by Yi Xiaodao. When they came back, they would read books and learn calligraphy on their own.
Xiao Lan came back soon, and she and Xiao Huang lay on the table. They wrote one word for each of them, and I wrote three words on the paper based on memory.
He Yue'er came to the table. Although these three words were written jointly by the two of them and were crooked, fortunately she was a woman after all. She was quite handsome and not so sloppy that even He Yue'er didn't recognize it.
On the paper was written clearly: "Don't go out!"
"Sister Yue'er, what does this mean?" Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu also came to the table, looked at these three words, and asked He Yue'er.
He Yue'er put away the paper and said: "These three words are 'Don't go out', which means we should not go out."
"Hey, is it because of what happened that day? This mouse has really become a spirit. Why are you still telling us not to go out?" Xiaohong asked.
"Don't ask. If you see a mouse in the house from now on, as long as it's not causing harm, don't hit it. Also, you should learn more calligraphy when you have time. If you see this kind of situation again in the future, you must tell me. These days Just don't go out." He Yue'er stood up, tore up the paper, and ordered to the maids. There was no doubt in her words, and she was quite mistress-like. Even Xiao Hong, who had always been talkative, did not dare to speak. They all said yes.
On Chang'an Avenue, in the deep alleys, in the trenches, and in the livestock pens, little snakes as thin as fingers spit out letters and wander around, not seeming to be looking for food, encountering insects, ants, and even chicken coops. The little snake didn't try to swallow the eggs, but just walked around them, as if looking for something.
People kept discovering these little snakes and beat them to death either calmly or screaming, but they did not attract revenge from the snakes. The remaining little snakes were still wandering around the capital, even if someone reported them to the official. The Yamen, the Yamen only sent some police officers to arrest the matter, but did not notify Zhao Yizhi.
A little snake seemed to have found something. It spit out a letter and followed the scent and followed a mouse to the vicinity of Yi Mansion.
"Hiss" the little snake spit out the letter and discerned the smell in the air. After noticing it, he turned around and wanted to go back.
A huge mouse swooped over, hugged the little snake, opened its teeth and bit the little snake. After a while, the little snake's head was bitten off, turning it into a headless snake. corpse.
In the palace, Hu Lishan suddenly opened his eyes: "Oh no!"
In the post, a man was as thin as a long pole, with a powdered face and a slender waist. He had just opened his eyes at this time, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "Found it."
Jinling City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by Jinshan Mountain, Niushan Mountain, and Laoshan Mountain. There are many mountains, lush vegetation, and a lot of wild animals. But at this time, whether in the deep mountains and old forests or beside the restaurants in the market, these two creatures, snakes and rats, became crazy and converged towards the Yi Mansion.
The people on the street were surprised when they saw the mice and snakes rushing along. The strange thing was that even if the mice and snakes met halfway, they would not fight and devour them, but would just keep running. So much so that the streets were later occupied by snakes and rats, and pedestrians were unable to move and fled indoors.
Someone wanted to see where the snake and the mouse went, but they were stopped by the larger python and the mouse who threatened them by spitting out letters.
Ordinary people are never allowed to intervene in the battles between Jianghu people.
The rats and snakes gathered together more and more, and finally stopped outside Yi Mansion. The rats in Yi Mansion also came out of the mouse hole in Yi Mansion, and joined the army of rats outside Yi Mansion.
There are snakes on the east side of the street and rats on the west side of the street.
"Master Hu, I'm here to bring you food!" The little eunuch who delivered the food shouted outside the door and did not dare to go in. I had long heard that the person imprisoned was a martial artist who had killed someone and was imprisoned. Although he was already familiar with Hu Lishan, he was still afraid of the countless rats in his house.
"It's strange. If I yell on weekdays, I would already run out to get food. Why is there no movement today?" The little eunuch was curious and bravely stepped forward and opened the door. "Master Hu, today's meal..."
There was no one in the house, let alone people. The mice that could usually be seen in the corners of the house were nowhere to be seen.
"Oh no, something happened! Hu Lishan ran away!" The little eunuch threw down his lunch box and ran away yelling.
When Zhao Yizhi heard the little eunuch's report in the royal study, he stood up with a loud noise: "Why is he missing?"
"Your Majesty Qi Zuo, it is indeed missing. There is no place to hide people in the house. It is just missing." The young eunuch answered truthfully.
Zhao Yizhi waved his hand, asked the little eunuch to step back irritably, and sat down on the dragon chair. As soon as he sat down, he noticed Wang Zhenliang rushing over again.
"Mr. Wang, if you have something to say, please come in and say hello!" Zhao Yizhi felt Wang Zhenliang's footsteps pause at the door, and knew what he was going to do, so he shouted first.
Wang Zhenliang walked into the house and said: "Your Majesty, something strange has happened in the capital. Snakes and rats are everywhere in the streets, big and small, running around in the streets, and the people are panicking. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but... it's just this The number is also large, Chang'an Avenue, Xuanwu Street and other streets are full of them, and the government agencies dare not hide it and report it to the Holy One!"
"Snake? And the mouse..." Zhao Yizhi's eyes flashed when he heard the mouse, "What is Hu Lishan doing? Such a big movement?"
"Wait at the door." Zhao Yizhi ordered, Wang Zhenliang bowed and exited the door, closed the door, and waited quietly outside the door.
Zhao Yizhi sat on the dragon chair with his knees up. As if the old monk was in trance, his consciousness was released and he spied on Jinling City.
There is nothing unusual in the entire Jinling City, except that the people are talking a lot. The four gates in the southeast, northwest, and even Xuanhu and Zimiao are full of people talking about it. Many people still have a small number of snakes and mice corpses under their feet. That was in the early days. Found and killed.
Zhao Yi used his spiritual consciousness to explore the Yi Mansion. He didn't know if he didn't explore, but he was shocked when he did.
Outside the Yi Mansion, there is a mountain of snakes and a sea of rats. Snakes and rats stand at both ends of the street in front of the Yi Mansion, and they do not go beyond the thunder pond. Words were spitting out on both sides, claws were sharpened, and they were ready to go.
In front of the group of snakes, a tall and thin man with a slim waist was swaying and waiting leisurely. The group of snakes has not yet finished gathering, and the real owner on the opposite side has not appeared. Since we met the big rat in the capital, we have to fight it out. Since it is a fight between males and females, we have to spare no effort.
Although I don’t know why there are so many rats gathering in this mansion, since it is what the big rat did, there must be a reason, and it is definitely right to come here. The slender man thought, and when he thought that he could kill the big mouse right away, he felt excited and stretched out his tongue to lick his red lips from time to time.
On the other side, the rats are also gathering more and more. Rats appear from time to time in the holes of the surrounding buildings and on the roofs. In front of the rats, there are dozens of rats that are several times larger than the other rats. The big rats kept chirping, and I don’t know if they were maintaining order, and some of these big rats came from a distance from time to time.
The increase in the number of snakes and rats gradually slowed down, and the number of rats and snakes that came gradually decreased. The entire capital, including a pair of sworn enemies in the surrounding mountains, rivers and lakes, rushed outside Yi Mansion at this time.
"Strange, why is there no one on the street today?" Xiao Hong stood in the attic of Yi Mansion, which was used as a temporary storage by Yi Xiaodao. Xiao Hong and Xiao Huang were cleaning it.
"Yeah, it's just past noon, and there's no one on the street. Did something big happen in the capital? It's a pity that Sister Yue'er won't let us go out." Xiao Huang said.
Zhao Yizhi withdrew his consciousness, opened the door, walked outside, and shouted: "Hidden clouds! Reach for the stars! Go ahead, go to the Yi Mansion, protect the Yi Mansion! Hold up the sky, lift the sea, split the river, shake Shan, follow me to Yi Mansion!" After saying that, he strode down the steps and left in a hurry, leaving Wang Zhenliang outside the door.
Wang Zhenliang shouted quickly from behind: "We must protect your majesty!"
