Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 169: Get rid of the rat spirit and appease the people

At a glance, there was a breeze on the vast grassland, but there was a lot of activity underground. I saw a group of big rats shuttling back and forth, as if they were looking for something.

Li Yan also sent a lot of people, but to no avail. Many people were bitten by rats and their wounds were horrifying.

After Ning Shujun arrived, she rested for a while and then listened to her subordinates saying that there was an influx of rats and that the people who were bitten seemed to be poisoned. Although the poison was not strong, the poisoned people felt itchy all over their bodies, and then pustules of various sizes appeared.

An official replied, "Princess, please rest assured. The divine doctor Tan Yougu has arrived and has detoxified the poisoned people. Their injuries have been relieved." After a pause, the person who reported back took out the blueprint, on which they had marked the places where the rats were active.

"That's good." Ning Shujun looked at the map of the grassland and found that there was a place called Dayan Valley in the marked area where the rats were not active.

"Princess, there is a great man living here. He doesn't like to be disturbed. We fled to avoid the rats before, and the rats retreated wherever we went. We also visited him, hoping to learn how to get rid of rats from him, but unfortunately we didn't meet him in person."

Hearing this, Ning Shujun chuckled and put down her pen. She had now found the center of the entire grassland. "Don't worry about whether it's tall or not, take me to find a place."

The official saw the princess drawing several lines on the blueprint, which intertwined and overlapped at a point. He couldn't help but pour cold water on her, "Princess, this is where the master lives. We stayed on this mountain for a few days before, and it seems that we disturbed him. He warned us mortals not to stay, so we had to leave."

"Is it troublesome?" Ning Shujun frowned, "He doesn't like mortals to get close to him. He's a hermit master."

Thinking of this, she walked out of the house, thinking about how to visit the master next. The ground shook, Ning Shujun staggered, and the man flashed to her side and put his arm around her waist.

After steadying herself, she saw someone coming back and asked, "What's going on?"

Murong Lian replied: "I added seals to several places where rats frequently appear. They should be running around underground and can't find the exit now!"

"It's just that they won't rush out for a while. You're so awesome." Ning Shujun smiled and hugged him.

The rat demon has been trapped temporarily, and it seems that she needs to take action at the entrance of the rat hole.

"What are your plans next?"

Ning Shujun thought for a moment and said, "I still want my husband to take the trouble and accompany me for a while."

"it is good"

"You didn't even ask me where I was going?"

Murong Lian asked: "Where are you going?"

She held the blueprint and explained her method, but she couldn't avoid bothering the master. It would be better if more people could help her.

"It's not a good idea to go there rashly," Murong Lian said, "We should ask around before making plans."

"That's right." She followed Murong Lian's advice and was about to go out for a look, but her wrist was grabbed.

Ning Shujun asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

But someone leaned on her and said coquettishly: "I'm tired"

"Then you rest here, I'll be back soon."

Murong Lian still didn't let go, and leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You work so hard for your husband, why don't you show some appreciation?"

Ning Shujun raised her eyebrows. It turned out that he was waiting for her here. She smiled and held Murong Lian's face with her hands. She slowly moved closer, then stepped back and said, "Be good, rest well here and wait for me."

Murong Lian was left alone, feeling a little lost. A strange voice rang out: "This girl is pretty good, you are so lucky!"

Murong Lian ignored the voice and sat quietly to regulate her breathing, but the voice kept chattering, "It's useless, don't waste your energy, I must get your body."

The herdsmen learned that there was a rat infestation eight years ago, and a master suddenly came and helped them resolve the crisis. After that, it practiced in the mountains. After all, the grassland is a plain depression, and only the Dayan Valley is high.

"The master doesn't like us getting close, and he has no fixed place to live as a grazing herder. The area around Dayan Valley is deserted, and no one has been there since then." They had also gone to look for the master, but this time he didn't show up to help.

Although they didn't show up, I told them to burn some liquorice, and the rats would be afraid of the smoke and run away. It worked once or twice.

"That's strange." Ning Shujun asked about their injuries and got the answer that they were not serious. She told them that the rats would not appear for the time being and they could graze them with peace of mind. Li Yan would distribute the corresponding supplies to them.

Returning to the tent, Ning Shujun felt guilty. After all, she hesitated and released the rat spirit. Later, it seemed that she had let more than one escape.

When she thought about the monster Feng Xuan who was more powerful than the rat demon, she felt worried.

Ning Shujun blamed herself: "What a sin!"

It seems that after the Xuan Yue Mirror is repaired, we must find the whereabouts of the bird spirit as soon as possible.

As soon as she came in, she saw Murong Lian seemed to be in a trance. She asked someone to bring in the food and she waited on the side.

Ning Shujun became impatient and stood up and walked over, waving in front of his eyes. There was no response. She was truly in a trance.

"Forget it." Ning Shujun turned to leave, but her wrist was tightened. She instinctively attacked, but her attack was blocked. She asked, "You are awake, and you are still pretending..."

Murong Lian said nothing but pulled the man over. He fell into her arms and she noticed that he was in a bad mood and his breathing was rapid. Ning Shujun was about to feel his pulse, but Murong Lian leaned down instead.

The sudden intimacy was like falling snow, melting in the heart. Ning Shujun was confused and did nothing wrong, her cheeks blushing.

Afterwards, Murong Lian helped her tidy up her messy hair. She said angrily, "You have no shame." However, the blush on her face took a long time to fade away. When she saw the mark on her neck, she felt too embarrassed to face anyone.

"When you get close, I lose my composure."

Ignoring his glib words, Ning Shujun thought about meeting the expert tomorrow and asked, "Tomorrow I will go to Dayan Valley to see who the expert is."

Murong Lian agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you."

She thought for a moment and continued, "But we still need to find the center of the grassland first. It is urgent to eliminate the rat infestation."

At this time, her stomach growled. Ning Shujun pouted and said, "Oh, I am hungry after all this trouble."

After dinner, the two took a walk together. The ground shook several times and Ning Shujun was worried that the group of rats underground would rush out. Although she didn't see it, she was afraid that there were a lot of rats.

"Why don't we go now? I'm worried that the formation won't last long."

"It's all up to you." Murong Lian pulled her and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Ning Shujun summoned out the winged tiger that was practicing in the space.

He hadn't come out to get some fresh air for a long time. Now he was the only one in the space, as his other brothers and sisters had been sent to other places. As soon as he came out, Yihu stretched lazily, and then rubbed against the two of them docilely and acted coquettishly.

"There is a mission," Ning Shujun smiled and stroked the big cat, "Protect the people here."

"Master, don't worry, meow." He was finally given the task, and Yihu was very excited. He kept acting cute, and Ning Shujun hadn't touched him for a long time. He held the cat's face and touched it for a long time before stopping.

Murong led a horse over and said, "Get on." As soon as she stretched out her hand, she was pulled onto the horse's back. However, she was still worried, after all, it was Yihu's first mission.

"Da Huang, don't play around"

"Yes, don't worry, master," the Winged Tiger Beast agreed readily.

Murong Lian was absent-minded on the way. When he arrived at his destination, he tightened the reins. Something was wrong around him.

Ning Shujun didn't understand why he didn't leave. "What's wrong?"

Murong Lian held her and jumped off the horse. They moved close to one place and could vaguely feel a slight breeze.

Ning Shujun took a few steps forward, and the wind blew her away. Fortunately, someone caught her.

"Someone is not letting us get close," Murong Lian said.

Ning Shujun tried to get closer again, and the strange wind was deflected again. Then she remembered that Xuan Yue was still under repair. If Xuan Yue was in her hand, she would open a hole.

“I can’t get through. What should I do?” She thought of the branches of the green tree and was about to shoot an arrow to see if she could make a hole in it.

Murong Lian put her arms around her waist and whispered, "Hold tight."

She lost her balance and held onto Murong Lian tightly. From the air, she could clearly see that the valley was surrounded by a wall of wind.

After the two entered the valley, there was a gloomy atmosphere and deathly silence.

Murong Lian led the way with a torch in hand, while Ning Shujun tried to find the center of gravity. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the ground in the early morning, Ning Shujun compared it three times and finally determined the top of a valley.

She took out her staff, drew a cross on the ground, and then inserted it into the ground. Once the tree touched the soil, it took root firmly.

"And this bottle of medicine powder can attract rats, but..." Ning Shujun seemed to hesitate. There was a wind wall outside the valley. What should she do?

Seeing her doubts, Murong Lian said, "I think the wall was built by the master who lives here. Go find him to solve it."

"Yes." Ning Shujun patted herself, worried about the rat infestation, so she decided to ask this expert for advice.
