Su Ruotang nodded, walked with him to another room, poured a glass of water and handed it to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen took the drink and drank it, casually wiping the corners of his mouth, "Sister, I have seen people who were injured and paralyzed. They all suffered minor or serious injuries to the long bone in their backs."
“Some minor injuries result in paralysis and the inability to walk, while severe injuries result in the inability to take care of oneself.”
Su Ruotang frowned slightly: "That bone is called the spine. I have tried other methods to treat them before."
"The injury is not serious, he can barely stand up."
"But for those who were seriously injured, it didn't have much effect."
Mu Chen picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea to drink. He looked into Su Ruotang's eyes and said word by word: "But what if we cooperate with the Gu insect?"
Gu insect?
Su Ruotang was stunned.
Immediately, her eyes brightened, "Brother, what do you mean, we use Gu insects to act as damaged spinal nerves?"
Now, Mu Chen was stunned, "Spinal nerve? What is that?"
Su Ruotang explained in simple words: "It's the thing in that bone that maintains normal movement of people."
Mu Chen was even more confused, his clear eyes filled with question marks.
Su Ruotang pondered for a moment: "Have you ever seen fish killed?"
Mu Chen nodded.
“Have you ever seen a fisherman pull out a thin white line from the back of a fish?”
"I've seen it."
"That is the nerve, the nerve of fish. It is this nerve that allows fish to swim freely in the water. In the same way, the spinal nerve allows people to move normally. Once this nerve is damaged, it will be paralyzed."
Mu Chen understood: "My idea is to get the worms into their bones... into their spines, so that they can stand up through the worms."
"But there is no record in the ancestor's manuscripts. I know that there is a kind of bug that lives on other animals and can control the animals' actions."
Su Ruotang took over his words: "Do you want to use this kind of Gu to control paralyzed people?"
Mu Chen shook his head: "It is the paralyzed person who controls it."
Su Ruotang thoughtfully said: "Then you can try it."
Mu Chen was eager to give it a try: "Then let's catch the bugs quickly."
"Huh? Where to catch him?"
Mu Chen raised his eyes and looked at the dense mountain forest ahead: "Under the dead branches and fallen leaves in the mountain forest."
Just do what he said, he happily pulled Su Ruotang's sleeve and walked out.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped.
Su Ruotang's floor-length skirt swayed on the grass.
Mu Chen frowned: "It's humid in the forest, do you want to change clothes?"
Su Ruotang glanced at the gold threaded skirt and took out the dagger without hesitation.
"Stab"——
With a crisp sound, the hem of her skirt was torn off from her calf.
Mu Chen's eyes suddenly widened: "Isn't this skirt worth a lot of money?"
Shen Shi added without changing his expression: "A thousand taels of silver, a piece of watery brocade."
Mu Chen's forehead twitched: "It's so willful to have money."
Qingwan added again: "This skirt is the cheapest in my lady's wardrobe."
Mu Chen: "..."
Comparing people to each other makes people angry.
He looked at Su Ruotang with bright eyes: "Brother, I will follow you to enjoy the hot and spicy food from now on."
Su Ruotang nodded with curved eyebrows: "Okay."
Shen Shi's face was solemn: "Third Princess, Your Highness will be here soon, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Ruotang.
She stared at Shen Shi threateningly, "Have you told Ayan?"
Shen Shi's scalp felt numb.
Does he dare to say that he gave His Highness the signal on the way?
Don't dare.
So, Shen Shi answered without conscience, "No."
Qinghuan: "..."
Commander Shen, do you think my lady is so easily deceived?
Su Ruotang snorted: "Don't follow me."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Mu Chen: "Brother, let's go."
Qinghuan: "!!!"
Well, her lady is really easy to fool.
Seeing the two of them entering the forest, Qing Wan and Shen Shi looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Qingwan asked worriedly: "When will His Highness come?"
Shen Shi glanced at the sky: "It's almost here."
Qingwan glanced at the woods, silently complaining in her heart——
When His Highness came, the young lady was nowhere to be seen.
Just when the two of them were almost standing on the stone looking into the palace, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Immediately, a man and a horse appeared.
"Your Highness!"
The two looked happy.
Mo Ronyan reined in the horse's rope, and the black horse's front hooves were raised high.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the two of them: "How long has Tang'er been in there?"
Cold sweat broke out on Shen Shi's forehead: "Half a cup of tea."
Mo Ronyan touched the horse's back with his toes and quickly swept towards the forest.
In the forest.
Su Ruotang and Mu Chen stared at each other with a group of wild wolves.
Mu Chen's forehead twitched: "How is your Qing Gong?"
Su Ruotang blinked and answered honestly, "Not very good."
Mu Chen glanced at the number of wild wolves, which numbered no less than a hundred, and swallowed, "Do you think we can outrun them?"
Su Ruotang estimated the strength of both sides, and her face turned pale, "I can't run away."
With her three-legged cat's skills, she really couldn't outrun a wolf traveling at 70 to 80 kilometers per hour.
Mu Chen took a deep breath: "You run first, I will stop them."
Su Ruotang bit her lower lip, took out several bottles of poison from the medical space and stuffed them into Mu Chen's hands, "Brother, be careful. I'll find Shen Shi to save you."
Mu Chen hurriedly caught the bottle that was suddenly thrust into his hand: "Be careful yourself."
Su Ruotang nodded, took a deep breath, turned around, raised his breath, climbed up the tree, and walked away quickly.
Seeing Su Ruotang move, the stalemate wild wolves howled to the sky and pounced on the two of them.
Mu Chen waved his sleeve, and dozens of Gu insects flew out and attacked the wolves.
In just one photo, half of the wolves were killed or injured.
The wolf king standing at the end looked even more bloodthirsty when he saw the dead wolves.
It raised its head and roared.
The wolves that had retreated all pounced on Mu Chen again.
Mu Chen waved his hand and threw all the poison Su Ruotang gave him at the wolves.
The pack was once again half dead or wounded.
The remaining dozens of wild wolves were stimulated by the smell of blood and became even more excited.
Mu Chen bit his lip, drew out his soft sword, and slashed the belly of the wild wolf who was chasing Su Ruotang.
The green eyes of the Wolf King were even more bloody.
It scratched the ground with its front paws, jumped into the air, and while Mu Chen was being restrained by other wild wolves, it clawed hard at Mu Chen's back.
From the corner of his eye, Mu Chen saw his pupils shrink.
But in order to stop the wild wolf from chasing Su Ruotang, he turned slightly sideways, avoiding the vital part, and stabbed a wild wolf to death with one sword.
However, the expected pain did not come.
