Absurd Deduction Game Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Long-cherished wish (4) - Decoction

The two surnames Liang and Liu are considered the most important surnames in this deduction, and they actually intersect in this unexpected place.

Since Mrs. Liang always visits her daughter every time she goes shopping, it can basically be concluded that Mrs. Liang's husband is Liu Bingxian and her daughter is Liu Xue.

This also explains why the Fangfu of Nuoda got in touch with Liu Bingxian on the funeral street and bought Liu Xue from this funeral shop owner who was despised by everyone.

Yu Xing originally thought that Liang's mother should have some relationship with Liu Xue, but he didn't expect that the relationship was so deep. He also thought that Liang's mother's descendant should be Liang Erni, but for some special reasons, the descendants took the woman's surname.

Yes, Liang Erni was definitely a little later than this era. Based on his observations, he could confirm that the story of Fang Mansion took place before the Republic of China, probably during a period of turmoil, and there were many female students in Liang Erni's time, so Liang Erni should be Granddaughters of Mother Liang.

Ignoring this doubt for the time being, Yu Xing got the answer he wanted, raised the corners of his mouth without any trace, and wholeheartedly played the role of a "patient" with painful legs.

When the other three helpers came in after grabbing the medicine, Dr. Cui had already given the medicine and pulled down Yu Xing's trousers.

A Gui glanced at the medicinal oil bottle that was casually placed aside, and a worried look appeared on her face. Then she handed the medicine to Dr. Cui seriously and whispered: "Thank you, Dr. Cui, for helping Xiao Jin treat his injury."

Dr. Cui was stunned, then laughed and said, "This is my duty."

He took various medicinal materials and opened the paper packages containing them. The pot of water was already boiling.

Yu Xing did not understand Chinese medicine and could not recognize the names of these medicinal materials at a glance. He could only work as a helper for an afternoon as if he was blind. He gained nothing except getting familiar with the current working environment.

The weather is a bit cool, I think it should be autumn at this time.

Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, Yu Xing was responsible for sitting next to the stove and fanning the fire today. After finishing the work, the brewed black concoction was brought to the young master by the young man who didn't like making noise.

He felt a little regretful that he had not met Young Master Fang, because to be honest, during the first and second stages, he had been in contact with the "real" Young Master Fang, and he was considered a half-acquaintance.

The first stage is entirely the dream of the young master. The perspective is fair and not too malicious. It uses images such as paper figures and ghosts to show what happened.

In the second stage, Yu Xing tried to find out that the young master was the black figure swaying beside Zhou Xue's bed every night. Because the black figure and the **** bride were both carried in the white jade, and the white jade was the real thing that Liang Erni was avoiding, so these two This ghost is also real, and it has been passed down with the passage of time just like the spirit of the artifact.

Thinking about it this way, Young Master Fang is quite destined to be with him.

Yu Xing and A Gui went back to the house together. At noon, he ate a steamed bun that A Gui brought him while no one was paying attention. At this time, he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. It couldn't be said that he was hungry. He was not interested in food. There is no real need, every time I eat it it is just to satisfy my craving.

The character Xiao Jin is hungry.

Fortunately, he could eat dinner, and he happily integrated into the family of workers. While eating, he listened to the servants at other jobs discussing some gossip. During this period, he noticed a tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The young man was a bit strong and looked like a tall man. He who looks naive is called Ahu.

It seems that Mrs. Liang has safely finished her shopping and returned home.

Yu Xing lowered his eyelashes and thought about who would get into trouble today.

Everything has a beginning, that is, we don't know who will be the first victim in this conspiracy.

As the sun sets in the west, the work assigned to them by Dr. Cui has ended. He is free and reading in the room.

There has been no abnormality, and he has not found facial paralysis in the crowd. It is estimated that Zhao Yijiu has paid some "price" in order not to reveal his secret...

Yu Xing wanted to laugh for no reason as he imagined Zhao Yijiao acting lively in front of the NPC for the sake of impersonation.

The moment the corner of his mouth curled up, Agui, who was paying attention to him, became curious: "Xiao Jin, what book are you reading? With such a smile, is it that kind of small picture album?"

It took Yu Xing a second or two to realize what kind of picture album this kid was talking about. Seeing that the other person was moving over to look at it together, he stretched out a hand to push the other person's head back and said angrily: "It's not that kind of thing, don't think about it."

The child looks so innocent, what is going on in his mind!

“Oh.” Agui lay back on his bed regretfully.

There were very few entertainment activities for servants in this era. Once it got dark, there were basically only some small games like dice to play. Agui didn't have a good relationship with the other two people in the room. He just wanted to chat with Yu Xing. But Yu Xing was focused on reading and ignored him at all.

Many of the servants in Fang Mansion have been trained since they were young. They have been taught more or less knowledge and at least they are literate.

Agui tried to pick up the book at hand and took a look at it. After a few minutes, he realized one thing - he was sleepy.

These elegant books are too hypnotic and not as good as the novels. However, he has read all the novels piled under the bed and forgot to buy new ones.

Being hypnotized, Agui suddenly felt that the fatigue from working all day was coming back to him, and he praised that this trick was really useful. It was indeed Xiao Jin's method to sleep!

It's just that Xiao Jin must be tortured by the scars on his body and can't sleep, right?

He felt empathetically and grieved for Yu Xing for a while, and finally patted Yu Xing's arm: "Xiao Jin, I'm asleep."

"Go to sleep." Yu Xing glanced up at him and saw that he had pulled the quilt and fell asleep. The two young men on the other side were almost ready to rest and turned their attention back to the books in their hands.

He was reading Liang Erni's diary.

In the third stage, the ghost bag is still hanging on the waist. It contains [True Vision Powder], [Xing's Credit Record], and [Liang Erni's Diary], but there is no [Poisonous Handover Wine]. Come to think of it, this thing is Zhao Yi The wine that was drawn out should be at Zhao Yijiu's place.

This diary written by Liang Erni did not start from the first day she met the master, but was written in the tone of reminiscence of regret and pain after being displaced.

In general, after reading it from beginning to end, Yu Xing found that there is quite a lot of useful information in it, which should be very helpful for him to get through the marriage scene at the end of the third phase of the mission.

By the time they finished reading it all and memorized the useful information, the other three were already soundly asleep, snoring slightly.

He thought for a while, then put out the kerosene lamp, and the whole room fell into darkness.

Putting the diary back into the ghost bag, Yu Xing lay down, opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, waiting for the incident to happen.

There has been no movement. What is brewing?

Who will be there tonight...

“Dong dong dong.”

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door. Yu Xing's pupils shrank, he quietly sat up and stared at the door.

“Dong dong dong.”

The knock on the door rang again as expected, with such a low intensity that only those who were not asleep could hear it.

Yu Xing glanced at the light that had just been extinguished and determined that the person or something else outside the door was looking for him.

He got out of bed quietly, walked to the door with bare feet, and pressed the door with his hand.

Before opening the door, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

"There has been no accident. Could it be because Xiao Jin was the one who got into trouble first?"

　　　…It's difficult to do.

But this time the main mission eliminates the possibility of the deducers shrinking down and acting like ostriches. If they don't take the initiative, they will be wiped out due to passive digging. That is a situation that is more irreversible than encountering a ghost.

Yu Xing opened the door anyway. The muscles in his legs were tense so that he could quickly escape when someone opened the door.

There was a sour feeling on his calf. Yu Xing pushed open a crack, and the cold wind suddenly squeezed in, making him shiver. There is no one outside.

There was only an inconspicuous piece of paper sandwiched between the low threshold and the door leaf, making a rustling sound in the wind.

Yu Xing picked up the note and squinted at it under the moonlight.

The note says…

“The master wants you to go to his bedroom now without being seen by anyone.”

Now?

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows. Master Tiantian did ask him to report, but didn't the pretty girl say that he didn't have to report this time? Why are you here again?

It was impossible not to go. Yu Xing turned around and put on his shoes. After making sure no one was awake in the house, he went out in the dead of night.

The lights were still on in several rooms, and the sound of people talking could be faintly heard inside, including the room where the ghost groom played by Zhao Yijiu scared him out during the second stage of playing dice.

Yu Xing carefully concealed his figure, walked through the courtyard gate, and came to the fifth courtyard.

Strictly speaking, there are only two people living in the fifth courtyard, the master and Dr. Cui.

The difference is that Dr. Cui occupies three rooms, but has no servants to serve him, while the master occupies two rooms, and one wing is specially used for his servants, and the little girl at noon is one of them.

When Yu Xing arrived, all the rooms were dark. He limped to the master's room door and knocked lightly.

No one responded.

He knocked again, then stood outside the door and waited.

There was still no one, let alone the door being opened, there was no movement at all, as if the people inside were already asleep.

After waiting for several minutes, Yu Xing's eyes gradually became dangerous, because he concentrated his attention, used his most sensitive hearing, and heard the master's steady breathing.

The master is really sleeping...

Who handed him the note? Why was he chosen and what was the purpose?

Suddenly, the light next door turned on, attracting Yu Xing's attention.

The light is not in Dr. Cui's bedroom, but in the room where Dr. Cui treats patients. At this time, with the light, you can also see the shadow of a man reflected on the window. The man's figure is sitting in the room, that figure and Dr. Choi is exactly the same during the day at work.

At this moment, without the figure moving at all, the door of the decoction room opened.

Yu Xing was looking forward to the upcoming trick. With confusion and hesitation on his face, he slowly walked towards the room.

Going to the door, you can see the panoramic view of the decoction room.

The small stove was set up again, steaming under the lick of flames.

The medicinal materials were piled up next to the stove in an unorganized manner, and some were even messily mixed together. It was not at all like Dr. Cui's usual rigorous style.

But Dr. Cui was sitting there cross-legged with his back to the door. His clothes were the same as during the day, and he was holding a branch in his hand for stirring the soup.

Yu Xing stopped at the door and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Cui? Did you ask me to come here?"

Dr. Cui seemed to move and said in a gentle tone: "Come in and close the door."

Yu Xing blinked. After entering the house, he closed the door behind his back and walked over.

Doctor Cui was really boiling medicine, and the smell in the room was the same as during the day. Yu Xing showed his nervousness and confusion appropriately.

"Dr. Cui, it's so late, why do you want me to come over? And... why did you write such words?" He stood in front of Dr. Cui, looked at Dr. Cui's expressionless face, and his voice trembled, "I I thought the master was finally going to take action on me... It's so scary, Dr. Cui.”

Dr. Cui rolled his eyes and looked at him: "Why are you so scared?"

“Because, because the master doesn't like me, didn't you and Mother Liang also remind me to be careful about the master?”

Dr. Cui's eyes warned Yu Xing and he asked: "Be careful, Master? How strange. Did the Master do anything to make you feel dangerous?"

He looked at Yu Xing, who was shaking more and more violently. The gentleness in his voice had gradually disappeared, and his whole person looked very wrong.

He asked again: "Why are you trembling? Don't I like you too, and someone reminded you to be careful of me?"

"No, no, but..." Yu Xing took a step back, his face distorted for a moment as if he was in pain from the wound on his leg, "Dr. Cui, you are talking strangely tonight, and why don't you blink... "

From the time he came in until now, Dr. Cui has not moved at all, except for moving his eyes and opening and closing his mouth when speaking, like a sculpture.

"Oh? Forgot to blink." Dr. Cui blinked extremely slowly, as if trying, "This is normal, right?"

　　 Yu Xing: “…”

[What's going on, it's so weird]

[I feel a cold feeling on my back]

　　[It's already late at night, I'm watching the live broadcast here without sleeping, it's so exciting]

[Dr. Cui is a ghost? ]

Fortunately, Dr. Cui did not dwell on this problem. He said, "Come here and help me take care of the medicine."

Yu Xing moved over step by step.

"Open the stove and check the color." Dr. Cui probably made up his mind not to do anything this time. He ordered Yu Xing. Seeing that Yu Xing's hands were shaking like a sieve, he obediently lifted the lid of the stove. Water vapor suddenly rushed into the air, bringing with it a burst of white mist.

The soup inside has turned dark black and exudes a strange color.

“You watch here and help me sit over there.” Dr. Cui said.

Yu Xing glanced at him and stretched out his hand to hold his arm without using any strength at all.

Unexpectedly, he just touched Dr. Cui lightly, causing Dr. Cui's body to shake, and Dr. Cui's head moved forward a little.

Then it slipped from my neck.

With a "pop", the head fell into the steaming stove. The black concoction splashed onto Yu Xing's face, which was stunned. The hot liquid left stinging pain on the skin.

The head rolled over in the stove, the black hair floated on the water, and the last half of the face floated on it. A big unblinking eye looked at Yu Xing quietly.

“GuluGulu…”

The stove doesn't care what it is loaded with, it is still cooking and stewing dutifully, making a lively sound.
