Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2421: Chapter 2422: Trouble Brought by the Heavy Rain

”How is that possible!” Mo Beishan couldn’t help but shout, ”If it’s not a human, is it a ghost? Who can control ghosts?”

Lingzi shook her head, ”I don’t know, these are all secrets of the Imperial family, I’ve only heard some rumors.”

At the same time, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun pursued along the way, only to find something strange ahead.

No, it’s not strange, it should be said that being normal is too abnormal.

There were no suspicious sounds, or possible people or things, but this silence was somewhat suspicious.

Jiang Yichun grew up in Tongzheng Department; he’s undergone too much secret training and missions, so he’s very sensitive to danger.

He pulled Bai Ruozhu and signaled her with his eyes; the two of them slowed down, carefully observing their surroundings, and slowly moved forward.

Suddenly, a murderous aura assaulted them, several concealed weapons suddenly appeared; Bai Ruozhu formed seals with her hands, a magic defense appeared, blocking the hidden weapons flying at them.

At this moment, more hidden weapons flew from behind, Jiang Yichun flicked his sword flower, and with a few clangs, knocked down the hidden weapons one by one.

The range of these hidden weapons was limited; they couldn’t have been thrown from a great distance, yet there was absolutely no one nearby, so how did the hidden weapons appear?

They carefully scrutinized the surroundings, and there was no mechanical trap; Bai Ruozhu didn’t even smell anything.

Suddenly, she sharply turned her head and saw a shadow darting away on the ground.

Instinctively, she looked up, thinking that there must be someone above; what she had just seen must be the opponent’s shadow, yet there was still no sign of a person.

”Achun, it’s a shadow! There’s no one, only a shadow!” Bai Ruozhu whispered.

Jiang Yichun was also surprised; he hadn’t seen the fleeting shadow, but he also felt there was no one nearby.

”Don’t move yet,” Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment, moved her fingertips inside her sleeve, and scattered some drug powder outside.

The two cautiously watched their surroundings, but saw neither more flashes of shadow nor anyone appearing.

”I poisoned the area, but I don’t know whether the opponent is immune to it or escaped afterward at such a speed that it’s impossible to catch them.” Bai Ruozhu’s mood was somewhat heavy; such an opponent that’s hard to detect was troublesome.

Jiang Yichun hugged her shoulders, ”Don’t worry, Yizi likely isn’t in this direction, otherwise even if the opponent wanted to hide with Yizi, it would be difficult. The one just now was meant to confuse us.”

Bai Ruozhu rubbed her temples, ”You’re right, I was too distracted.”

Suddenly, a signal flare appeared in the west; Jianqi sent the signal!

”Quickly, let’s go!” Bai Ruozhu shouted, swiftly darting forward, with Jiang Yichun hastily following.

When they arrived, Jianqi was tightly holding Yizi, with bloodstains all over him.

”Is Yizi injured?” Bai Ruozhu rushed forward in one swift step.

”No, she inhaled Mystical Fragrance.” Jianqi’s voice was somewhat weak, and only then did Bai Ruozhu notice that all the blood on him was his own.

Bai Ruozhu took a sharp breath; Jianqi was her most capable subordinate, but unexpectedly, in the first encounter, she had already lost a key player!

She gritted her teeth, taking Jianqi’s pulse with one hand and Yizi’s with the other. She had practiced this skill while diagnosing multiple patients, and since she could multitask, it wasn’t difficult.

Yizi was fine; she indeed only inhaled Mystical Fragrance. She stuffed a detoxification pill into Yizi’s mouth.

Jianqi had been hit by several hidden weapons; the weapons were also poisoned. His current condition wasn’t good, and the poison was somewhat strange. She could only temporarily control it now; it had to be studied further to fully detoxify.

She swiftly fed Jianqi a detoxification pill and sealed acupoints to temporarily stop his bleeding.

Suddenly, Jiang Yichun lifted his hands flatly and looked up at the sky.

”It’s raining,” Jiang Yichun’s tone was somewhat urgent; Bai Ruozhu hadn’t thought much of it initially, but after a pause, she understood his meaning.

”Find a place to shelter from the rain first!” Bai Ruozhu said, then carried Yizi, with Jiang Yichun quickly supporting Jianqi.

But there wasn’t much cover here, it was all open, and finding a place to avoid the rain immediately wasn’t easy.

With a rumble, the sky flashed with lightning and thunder, and large raindrops pounded down loudly.

”Damn it, how did it just start out of nowhere, and with such a downpour!” Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but curse; at this rate, Achun will transform and grow a fish tail.

After a few steps, Jiang Yichun collapsed to the ground; Jianqi noticed his anomaly, and hurriedly asked, ”Son-in-law, are you injured?”

”Poisoned...” Jiang Yichun randomly found an excuse.

Bai Ruozhu was anxious, hurriedly handing Yizi to Jianqi, saying, ”Wait here, his father and Tang Feng will arrive soon, I’ll have Xiaohei protect you. I must take Achun to detoxify immediately, or it will be too late.”

”Master, we’re fine, you should go quickly.” Jianqi said.

Bai Ruozhu released Xiaohei, grabbed Jiang Yichun, and ran behind Jianqi. At this moment, Jiang Yichun’s legs had already started transforming; she couldn’t find any cover in time, so she quickly formed a seal, took out a talisman pretending to use it, and then took Achun into the space.

The two of them opened the space’s ”big screen” to observe the situation outside, fortunately, Gao Zhou and Tang Feng arrived shortly.

”Aren’t they nearby? Shouldn’t you, Senior, first send Jianqi and Yizi back? I’ll stay to search for them?” Tang Feng was worried something had happened and planned to stay behind to look for them.

Gao Zhou thought for a moment and said, ”Ruozhu has discretion, she might have already taken them back, we cannot delay, in case of changes.”

”Alright, let’s hurry back then.” Tang Feng didn’t say anything more this time.

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief, Achun’s situation when encountering rain was really troublesome.

Jiang Yichun looked at his torn trousers and the gleaming fish tail, helplessly sighing.

The rain outside was heavy; it didn’t seem like it would stop anytime soon. He straightforwardly said a word to Ruozhu and jumped into the nearby fish pond.

”You could stay here and become the lord of the fish pond.” Bai Ruozhu joked while squatting by the edge of the fish pond to lighten the mood.

Jiang Yichun flicked his tail, splashing water all over her face, ”Now you look like you’ve been rained on.”

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, ”Do you believe I won’t help you next time?”

”Then let them turn me into grilled fish.” Jiang Yichun looked proud, hmph, he doubted his wife wouldn’t care for him.

”You win!” Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, ”But this isn’t a solution, how about making you waterproof pants?”

”Waterproof...” Jiang Yichun found it unlikely.

”Or maybe think if there’s any way to stop yourself from transforming into a fish tail?” Bai Ruozhu suggested.

Jiang Yichun scratched his head. If there was a way, he wouldn’t want to transform all the time either; if people saw him, it would be troublesome. If faced with enemies, they could just splash a few buckets of water, and he’d be completely doomed.

”Right, when you use water in attacks, you seemed not to transform a fish tail; you can control water, perhaps you can break through from this point?” Bai Ruozhu suddenly thought.
