Chapter 5
When Lu Yuan and Xiaoyue came down from the mountain, it was already late.

There is a small port in front of you, with a few fishing boats parked, and there are only a few houses on the shore, including an inn.

The inn was dilapidated, the windows creaked in the autumn wind, and the waiter leaned on the door frame, as if thinking about life.

After walking on the mountain road for several hours, Lu Yuan and the two were thirsty and hungry.Xiaoyue looked at the inn and drooled: "Master, let's go there to eat. Xiaoyue has money on her."

"Let's go."

The two walked to the door of the inn, and the waiter came back to his senses: "You two, please come inside!"

Lu Yuan took Xiaoyue in.There was a counter behind the door, and the shopkeeper was standing behind him, making a lot of abacus.

There were four or five tables inside, and a gray-haired guest was sitting on the table facing the door, drinking tea with his head bowed.

"Guest officer, please sit down." Xiao'er took off the rag on his shoulders, bounced on the table and chairs next to him a few times, and beckoned Lu Yuan and the others to sit down.

"Second guest officers, do you stay at the top or stay at the hotel?"

"Get something to eat first, what do you have here?"

"Guest officer, although this shop is small, we have chicken, duck, fish, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Feel free to order."

"Just order some noodles or something that can fill your stomach, the sooner the better."

"Okay! Two bowls of shredded pork noodles~" The waiter turned around and raised the curtain and walked into the back hall, and came out with a pot of tea after a while.

"Sir, please drink some herbal tea first. We also have some good pancakes here. How many would you like?"

"can."

Lu Yuan nodded and began to look at the surrounding environment.

There are stairs behind the counter leading upstairs. The tables and chairs downstairs are clean, and the chopsticks on the table are not dirty.It was the old man at the door who looked gloomy.

The shop waiter put down two pottery bowls and was about to pour tea when the old man suddenly snorted: "Xiao Er!"

The waiter looked back in a daze, and the old man had already strode over.

"You're so clueless. Is it possible that I can't afford the tea? I've been shouting for a long time, but why haven't you come to give me some tea?"

Xiao Er felt aggrieved, "You've been sitting here for an hour, and you haven't seen you ordering food. Is there anyone like you?"

The old man grabbed the handle of the teapot and said angrily: "The dog's eyes look down on the low things, the uncle can't even afford noodles."

"You're on point!"

The two tugged and tugged, causing the tea to splash on the ground.

Lu Yuan watched with cold eyes and carefully protected Xiaoyue. There was something strange about this old man.

"Crack!" There was a crisp sound from the counter, and the shopkeeper said angrily, "Old man, I have long since disliked you. If you like to eat, go away if you don't!"

The old man's face turned red when he heard the words, he let go angrily, and walked away.

Seeing that he had gone out, Lu Yuan felt relieved.

The waiter said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. When you go out, you will inevitably encounter a few crazy dogs. Wait for a while, and the noodles will be here soon."

As he spoke, he refilled the tea, wiped off the water stains on the table, and went with a smiling face.

Xiaoyue was so thirsty, she picked up the pottery bowl and drank it in one mouthful.

Lu Yuan also took a big sip, smashed his mouth, his mouth was full of tea dregs, and he didn't want to drink it immediately, he really didn't understand how Xiaoyue could drink it.

The old man at the door did not go far, looked back and saw that Lu Yuan and Xiaoyue had both drunk tea, he couldn't help showing a sinister smile.

His name is Lu An. He was a bandit in his early years, but now he is the steward of the West Courtyard of the Lu family, specializing in shady activities.He lives in seclusion on weekdays, even the people in the west courtyard of the Lu family don't recognize him.Xiaoyue has only been in Lu's house for a short time, so naturally she doesn't know him.

Today, Lu An was ordered by the second master to take two nurses to intercept and kill the uncle's illegitimate son.They lay in ambush on the only way the other party must pass, and prepared hidden weapons.The beginning went very smoothly. Although the two bodyguards in the east courtyard were tough, they couldn't bear Lu An's surprise attack and died soon.The remaining two helpless boys and the servant girl fled into the mountains, chased after them and killed them.

Lu An was old, and his footsteps were not as good as Li Laohan and He Dadan's. After following the trails up the mountain, they were shocked to see Li Laohan and He Daudao lying in the forest, their lower bodies horrified, rolling on the ground and screaming again and again.

Lu An was surprised and asked why.

The two cried out in pain: "Monster! Monster!"

Lu An asked again and found out that the target was only a man and a woman, and no one else.That man possesses demonic powers and can steal people's minds.

At that time, Lu An was so frightened that he abandoned the two of them and ran away down the mountain.

After calming down, Lu An remembered the method of the second master of the Lu family. If he couldn't complete the task, he couldn't explain it when he went back.He traveled all over the world in his early years and was well-informed.Knowing that some strange people can really capture people's minds, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a blindfold.It is estimated that the illegitimate child may also know something.If he is really clever, there is no need to escape into the mountains.

After trying to understand this level, Lu An regained the confidence to complete the task.He secretly thought that the illegitimate son must go over the mountains to the port to take a boat, so he hurried to the port ahead of time along the road.He tied the horse to a secluded place on the side of the road, and pretended to be a traveling merchant, walked into the inn and waited for the rabbit.He can't be brave and ruthless, but when it comes to poisoning and plotting, Lu An is a veteran.He carried a pack of poison with him, which was given by the second master before he left, and he called it a day of death.

Just now, Lu An took advantage of the opportunity of arguing with the waiter and poisoned the teapot.This poison is colorless and has a very mild taste. Once it enters the abdomen, it will attack in an instant. The symptoms are like emergencies. If you do not take the antidote within an hour, you will undoubtedly die.The poisoned person will not die until the next day, and the general operation cannot be detected at all.

Seeing that Lu Yuan and Lu Yuan would definitely die after drinking the tea, Lu An thought that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he hurried away along the land road.

As soon as he left, a awning boat docked at the port, and an old man, a young man, and two masters and servants stepped on board.

The younger one was a young man in his twenties, with thin skin and tender flesh, and a frivolous demeanor.The old man was a hale and hearty old man in green clothes, with bulging temples and bulging veins in his hands.

When the young man saw the inn, he shouted, "I'm so thirsty that I just need to go get some water."

After that, he quickly rushed into the inn.The old man walked slowly and slowly, but entered the inn before the young master.

"Two..."

As soon as the waiter went up to meet him, he was pushed away by the old man.

The old man's eyes were as sharp as a knife, he glanced around the inn, nodded, and then motioned for the young master to sit down.

"Master, please wait a moment while I go to investigate."

After saying that, he dodges and breaks into the back kitchen, and the waiter in the shop can't stop him.

Seeing that the old man was so powerful, Lu Yuan was very cautious and acted more low-key.

Xiaoyue was drinking her third bowl of tea, and she was gurgling.The waiter's teapot was placed in front of her so that she could drink it by herself.

The young master looked greedy and raised his chin at Xiaoyue: "Hey, pour me a bowl, young master."

Xiaoyue gave him a blank look and ignored him.

Brother Gongzi was not annoyed, and walked over, picked up the teapot and drank directly at the spout.

After drinking it, he touched his mouth: "This broken tea means that I am thirsty, and I can't usually rinse my mouth."

Xiaoyue originally wanted to drink the fourth bowl, but when she saw the spout of the teapot, she felt disgusted and looked very aggrieved.

Brother Young Master proudly said: "Hee hee, it's too dirty, hit me."

At this time, the awesome old man came back, his face changed greatly: "Master, how can you drink the water outside indiscriminately."

"Oh, Uncle Ye, you are too careful. This tea can still be poisonous." He pointed to Lu Yuan and the two, "Look, they are all fine after drinking it!"

"Sir!" The awesome old man pulled the young master aside, "You must be careful when traveling in the world. Everything you eat and drink must pass through my hands. Please agree to it. I will prepare the food right now. You must not eat or drink carelessly anymore."

"Okay, okay, what's the matter?" Brother Young Master waved his hand impatiently.

poisonous?

The feeling that something was wrong in Lu Yuan's heart became even stronger.

"System: Congratulations to the host, Poison Resistance 1 has taken effect, and the onset of one-day fatality is delayed by 1%."

Fuck, is it really poisoned? !Died in one day?I'm still half-crazed with a smile on my face.

"System: Host, death can be fatal in one day, please save yourself as soon as possible."

"The system is cheating, didn't you say it was poisonous earlier?"

"System: the host, whoever cheats will know. This system does not have an early warning function, please be vigilant at all times."

"Your sister, how do you know?"

"Please host to use your ingenuity, thank you!"

Lu Yuan almost wanted to vomit blood.
