Chapter 11: Delicious

"Ahh

Phantom Heaven made a gesture to the sky and the earth, and the ghost covered by the clouds and mountains didn't know what his waving arm meant.

The soldiers looked at the puddle of water stains left on the city wall and put away their blades.

"It's just a mute hiding in a corner to pee, let's go look elsewhere."

One of the leading team members said to the soldiers under him.

Looking at the soldiers who were leaving, Phantom Tian lifted his pants. Following the road when I came in the morning, I returned to Wu's house.

Wu Lan was using a basket to shake the herbs she didn't know when she saw Phantom Heaven come back. Put down the basket and said, "Dumb, don't go out if it's messy outside." ”

Phantom Tian cracked his mouth and smiled innocently, and then walked into his own room, unexpectedly the inside of the room was very warm, as if it had been cleaned up. The copper coins on the low table did not move, and no one moved his own broken bedding. It's just that there is one more charcoal brazier, and Phantom Tian recognizes this as Wu Lan's family. The charcoal fire inside had been burning overnight, and the remaining ash had some temperature. The wing room is small, and even this temperature can make the room hot.

Phantom Tian lay down with peace of mind, and all the things related to his identity were put on the arrow tower. Now, if someone searches this room, they can only think that it is a mute homeless man. After a busy night's work, I was indeed tired, and I lay on the bed in a daze, and after a while, I started snoring.

There was chaos in Dongou City, although the Assassins had run away. However, the king of Dongou still closed the four gates and searched for any spies in the city.

The door was smashed, and Wu Lan hurriedly threw down the rice washing basin in his hand and ran to open the door.

"Who. When you come, the door is going to be smashed. ”

Unbolted the door and opened the wooden door, a team of halberd-wielding soldiers appeared in front of Wu Lan's eyes.

"The king's brother-in-law, King Wu, was assassinated, and the city searched for spies. Are there any outsiders in your house? ”

One of the officers at the head pointed at Wu Lan and asked.

"I only have my mother in my family, where did I come from."

Wu Lan rolled her eyes and wanted to close the door.

"Master Jun, there is a mute living in her wing. He only came to our Dongou more than ten days ago, and the villain saw him sneaky, maybe he was a thief. ”

It was Li Zheng who spoke, this guy had long fallen in love with the slim and handsome Wu Lan. I was worried about the sudden arrival of a man in her home, how could I not take advantage of such an opportunity.

"Oh. There is such a thing. Let me go in and search for it. ”

A group of soldiers pushed Wu Lan away. Rushing into the courtyard like a wolf. When he entered the wing, he took Phantom Tian out, and Phantom Tian had already woken up. However, at this time, the body and mind were relaxed, and I slept covered with hot sweat. At this time, he will definitely get sick when he goes out, and if he gets typhoid fever, I am afraid that even the holy hand of the imperial doctor will not be able to save him.

The soldiers rushed in like wolves. Without saying anything, he tore off the blanket and carried Phantom Sky to the courtyard. The sweat on his forehead was blown by the north wind. Suddenly, a spirit was struck all over the body. His eyes glared at the soldier who was clutching his neck. The fists were a little white.

When the soldiers saw him like this, the halberds in their hands were all pointing at the phantom sky. As long as he makes the slightest move, he will be killed, and a homeless man is just a dog's life more expensive than his gold.

Phantom Tian's clenched fist slowly let go. Reason told him that he had no way to deal with these two dozen soldiers without weapons. Even if you can kill a few and escape, you will definitely not be able to escape from this Dongou City if you are not familiar with the place.

"This is the wandering mute?." The officer who took the lead paced in front of Phantom Heaven, and suddenly grabbed Phantom Heaven's hand. Unexpectedly, this officer is still an expert and knows how to look at the calluses on his hands. If you are a person who has been practicing swords all year round, the calluses on your hands will definitely be very thick. This is not the same as the calluses on the hands of people who have been doing farm work all year round.

The officer looked at Phantom Tian's hand, and the expression on his face became cold. He pinched it on Phantom Tian's arm again, and the person who practiced the sword was different from the peasant. Farmers generally swing their hoes, and the muscles of the upper arms are more muscular than those of the lower arms. The swordsman is just the opposite, because of the perennial practice of the sword, the lower arm muscles have to bear the weight of the sword and control the direction of the sword. Usually the lower arm of a swordsman is thicker than the upper arm, and the officer has to determine whether Phantom Tian is a swordsman or not from the thickness of the arm.

However, this trick has no effect on Phantom Heaven, because Phantom Heaven has been thin since he was a child. His specialty lies in his body technique, and swordsmanship is mainly based on lightness. With the unpredictable and changeable body style of ghosts and gods, this is the essence of the Phantom Sky Sword Technique. Therefore, the strength of his arm is not very strong, and if Dai Yu is here, he will be exposed. This guy's forearm is almost as thick as his upper arm, and the saber can split the opponent's blade in half at the same time.

The officer touched it, testing the muscles of his arm, and Cheng DΓΉ did not look like a powerful swordsman. But the calluses on his hands indicate that this person has practiced the sword for a long time, what is going on, is it lazy? No, how can a lazy person grind out such thick calluses.

"Lord Captain, there is nothing in the house, only a few dozen copper coins have been found."

"But have you searched carefully? No blades? ”

"Back to my lord, the only thing I had in my luggage was a broken blanket. Even the beams of the house were searched, but there was nothing. ”

Just when the officer was puzzled, Wu Lan stepped forward and said, "My lord, this dumb man is sick, you don't want to be lived." ”

The officer was suddenly startled, and saw that Huantian's face was indeed white and yellow. There are sweat stains on his forehead, and there is a strong smell of sweat on his body. It really looks like a patient, who knows if it will be passed on to someone else.

The officer hurriedly threw away Phantom Tian's hand, looking at Li Zheng's expression a little unkind. In this era, it is very dangerous to get infectious diseases, and it is common for people to die from the common flu.

Phantom Tian was cold, and he shivered involuntarily.

The officer was even more convinced, and waved his hand and said, "Brothers, let's go, we have met a sick man, bad luck." ”

Let's go out of the Wu family's courtyard first and go to find trouble from other families.

Huantian really had a cold, and he was suddenly dragged to the courtyard where the north wind was swishing. I can't stand it, the forehead is already cold, and the hot sweat has turned into a cold sweat. His body was trembling, and Phantom Sky hurriedly returned to the chamber. The blanket was wrapped tightly, and the damned charcoal brazier was extinguished.

The soldiers who had just entered the house to search had the doors open again, and now the temperature in the house was not much different from the outside.

Dizzy and swollen, my body began to shiver incessantly. Phantom Heaven secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, this was a symptom of the disease. If it is in the big camp, as long as the imperial doctor prescribes a pair of medicines, it will be fine. But now that I am alone, I really call the heavens and the earth spiritual.

Thinking that while he could still go, he hurried to Yueyang. I hope that I can persist until Yueyang does not get sick, and my life may still be saved.

When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Wu Lan.

"You're feeling the cold, where are you going. If you go out now, even if you are sick and cold, you will be killed. ”

Wu Lan pushed Phantom Tian down on the couch, turned around and walked out. After a while, a large kettle was brought over, and the stoneware bowl poured a cup of boiling water for Phantom Tian.

"Drink it quickly, don't be afraid of getting hot, and lie down and sweat after drinking."

As he spoke, he poured the remaining hot water into a leather water bag, and handed the stopper to Phantom Sky as soon as he plugged it.

"Sleep in this hug, hurry up and sleep if sweat can come out. If you can't sweat, you will die. ”

Wu Lan said while tucking the blanket for Phantom Sky.

"Lanzi, where have you been. My charcoal brazier, you're going to freeze me to death on a cold day. ”

Wu Lanniang's shouts came from the courtyard, accompanied by violent coughing.

"Hey, here."

Wu Lan glanced at Phantom Heaven and went out with a charcoal brazier.

Phantom Tian watched Wu Lan go out, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly. It seems that every bone joint in my body is hurting, and my dizziness is even worse. However, drinking a large bowl of hot boiled water relieved the cold on my body. At least I won't shiver like I did just now, and the leather bag in my arms is warm through my clothes.

Phantom Tian felt that his two eyelids were like falling lead, getting heavier and heavier. The vision in front of me became more and more blurry, and finally my eyes closed.

Wu Lan worked for a day, made dinner and served her mother. So he brought a bowl of specially left porridge to Phantom Tian, the porridge is not hot, and it is not warm in the pot in this weather. It's a bowl of warm porridge.

Pushed open the door of Phantom Sky and found that Phantom Sky was sleeping very dead. The breathing is very even, and the face is a little flushed. I touched my forehead, and it was really hot.

Gently shook Phantom Sky awake, Phantom Sky's head was still dizzy. I was confused for a long time before I woke up, and when I saw that it was Wu Lan, I was grateful. This woman has always taken good care of herself, and she knows how to cook for herself. Although the food here is in the sky and the earth of Juzi's house, Phantom Tian feels very sweet.

Wu Lan had the scent of orchids on her body, which she smelled when she helped her chop wood last time. He took a deep breath, hoping to smell the good smell again, and this time he should be able to smell it so close.

Damn, only the salty snot was pumped into the mouth and nothing was smelled.

"The porridge is a little cold, so let's drink it quickly. Give me the leather bag, and I'll get you some hot water. Grandma just had some leftovers, just to fill them up for you. You can't freeze when you're sick, and you may see Hades after a night's freezing. ”

Wu Lan said as she pulled out the leather bag from Phantom Tian's arms.

Phantom Tian fumbled through the pillow, but luckily the soldiers had no interest in breaking the quilt. took out an oily paper bag and reached out and handed it to Wu Lan.

Wu Lan was surprised, put down the leather bag and opened the oiled paper bag. Inside was found to be a thumb-sized, milky white thing with an enticing milky smell.

Phantom pointed to his mouth, and then pulled out something black like shit from inside. Drinking the porridge and munching on it, Wu Lan felt a little nauseous. But the thing in his hand was really sweet, so he carefully licked it with his tongue.

It's sweet and a little milky.

Phantom Tian looked at herself, and Wu Lan embarrassedly stuffed the toffee whole into her mouth. A feeling of happiness filled her lips and teeth, a delicacy she had never tasted before. (To be continued......)
