It's still a familiar steam-pot fish restaurant. Because of Shi Dejing's return, Tao Mengchu specially told Gu Yaopan in advance and asked her to bring Lin Qianqian here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him. The previous events had too much impact on him, and everyone had a meal together to relax a little, which could also divert his attention to some extent, so that he would not be so easy to drill the horns.

When the two pushed the door in, Gu Yaopan, who hadn't seen him for a while, was really taken aback when he saw Shi De's static appearance, and even his brows jumped.

"Sit down!" Lin Qianqian looked at Shi Dejing, pressed down and pointed to the stool opposite.

Originally, because of Yao Niannian's affairs, she still had some opinions about Shi Dejing's indiscriminate killing of the demon clan, but after going to Zhengzhou to see Shi Dejing's appearance, she couldn't bear to say anything more, this time Shi Dejing came back, and she didn't show him any more face, which made Shi Dejing feel a little more relaxed inexplicably.

As soon as he sat down, Shi Dejing took out a box the size of two bricks from his backpack, put it on the table and pushed it towards Gu Yaopan.

"This is what Yuan Mao brought to me. ”

The box was made of bamboo, and I don't know how it was used, but the bamboo pieces looked verdant, as if they were still growing in the soil.

Gu Yaopan took it and opened it, and there were two emerald green lumps the size of ink ingots lying quietly in the bamboo box, which showed a jade-like luster against the backdrop of the tender bamboo leaves covering the bottom of the box, and a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves wafted around in the small private room, which suddenly overshadowed the fresh fragrance of the steamed pot fish.

"Bamboo Heart? That's a good thing. ”

Just by taking a look, Gu Yaopan closed the lid of the box. Although the bamboo heart is not a particularly rare treasure, it is also a rare thing that can only be produced by a thousand acres of bamboo forest, and Yuan Mao made a move to be two, and he didn't know where the essence of the bamboo forest was taken away by him.

"If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something. Does he have anything to ask you to bring here?" Gu Yaopan looked at Shi Dejing on the other side and said.

Shi Dejing shook his head and replied, "No, he only said let me give this to you." ”

Gu Yaopan looked at Shi Dejing seriously, and also understood that it was impossible for him to lie as a disciple of Buddhism, so he didn't ask any more questions, and directly put the box in his bag.

No matter what Yuan Mao's reason is, things are always good things, since he refuses to tell Shi Dejing, Gu Yaopan only owes him a favor, and he has the opportunity to pay it back.

Several people finished eating without saying a word, Tao Mengchu volunteered to send Shi Dejing back to B University, although Lin Qianqian's face was a little red, but she still got into Tao Mengchu's car separately from Gu Yaopan, which made Gu Yaopan laugh at her twice, "There is the opposite sex and no humanity." ”

The door on the first floor of Gu Zhai was open, Gu Yaopan drove the car to the backyard and parked it, followed the light shining in to the front hall, and saw Xiao Ni sitting in the lobby wiping old things at a glance.

"Why did you come here to wipe these again?" Gu Yaopan casually put the backpack on the counter, walked up to Xiao Ni and stopped, watching her skillfully turn the plain hosta in her hand.

"I dreamed of my dad two days ago, and he just kept wiping these, so I came over to take a look. ”

Xiao Ni put the hosta in her hand into the glass cabinet, replaced it with a bronze mirror and wiped it, and smiled at Gu Yaopan while looking up.

"In my dreams that day, I only cared about talking to my mother, and I didn't bother to talk to my father. ”

Her eyes were a little red, but she didn't want to cry in front of Gu Yaopan, so she had to lower her head to avoid Gu Yaopan's gaze.

"Have you dreamed in the past two days?" Gu Yaopan looked at Xiao Ni's haggard face, faintly worried.

Neither sooner nor later, but it was when little Nima turned eighteen that he began dreaming, which was not a good sign in any way. Gu Yaopan controlled the five-colored demon power to slowly slide over Xiao Ni's body, silently probing Xiao Ni's internal condition, but did not find any problems.

"No more. Xiao Ni shook her head.

Although the dream was a little scary at the end, she was still a little greedy for the warmth of her mother's side and her father's kind eyes, which gave her a long-lost sense of belonging, as if she was no longer a rootless duckweed wandering alone, and her sister didn't have to work hard to support this family.

"Isn't Li Shu here?" Gu Yaopan looked at Xiao Ni's appearance, relieved her heart slightly, her eyes swept to the portrait hanging on the wall, and frowned slightly.

"Sister Li was there before, and she talked to me for a while, and then she said something and went out. Xiao Ni looked at Gu Yaopan and seemed a little unhappy, and hurriedly explained for Li Shu.

"What's the matter?" Gu Yaopan looked at the lifeless portrait on the wall, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

Li Shu goes out too often, and in broad daylight, which goes against common sense, if it weren't for the reason why she had to go out, she really couldn't explain it.

However, Gu Yaopan didn't want to tell Xiao Ni about these things, so as not to worry about her. She is different from Gu Yaopan, she has a heavy yin spirit, she has no friends since she was a child, since she can remember, except for Gu Yaopan, she is the old ghosts in these stores who accompany her, although her feelings for them are not as good as the sisterhood with Gu Yaopan, but they are also very deep, if she talks to her too much, she will take more care of it.

I heard her say a word or two, as if she had found something strange in the house of that person named Ai Xinyu. ”

Gu Yaopan raised her eyebrows, she didn't want to say anything to Xiao Ni, but instead she heard an unexpected news from Xiao Ni's mouth.

For Ai Xinyu's family, in fact, she has always been suspicious, but this doubt has not found a reasonable reason for doubt, so she can only put it in her heart, and now Li Shu's discovery may be a breakthrough.

"You go up first! I'll wait for Li Shu here. Gu Yaopan patted Xiaoni's shoulder and motioned for her not to stay on the first floor any longer. There are some things that are best if they don't involve Xiaoni.

It wasn't until the sky was about to get dark that Li Shu, dressed in red, entered through the door flutteringly.

"I heard Xiao Ni say, you found something strange in Ai Xinyu's house?"

Gu Yaopan's voice sounded in the storefront on the first floor, looking at Li Shu's expression was extremely serious, and a pair of pitch-black pupils were like deep pools of water, burying all emotions.

Li Shu seemed to be taken aback, and when she saw that it was Gu Yaopan, she settled down, looked at Gu Yaopan with complicated eyes for a long time, and pursed her plump red lips again and again. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he took out a photo from his sleeve and handed it over.

Gu Yaopan looked at Li Shu's face and took the photo in her hand. When her eyes fell on the photo, a touch of shock appeared on her usually calm face, and her eyes were fixed on the person in the photo in front of her, as if she wanted to stare at the photo out of a hole.

This is an old photo, the black and white background has turned yellow, and a thick locust tree in the background is blooming with clusters of snow-white locust flowers, and the spring light is just right.

A young man in a white shirt is holding the shoulders of another older man, and on the other side of the older man stands a young woman holding a milk doll, and the three of them are smiling at the camera, the young man is smiling especially arbitrarily, and a mouthful of white teeth is still shining proudly even after many years.

This young man is none other than Gu Yaopan and Gu Yaoni's father---- Gu Yan.
