(26)
After Xiu He finished what he wanted to say very calmly, he took a chair and sat down beside Mo Bai, looking at him with lowered eyes. I stood there and looked at the two of them at a loss, not knowing for a moment whether I should say anything more.
Soon, Mo Bai gradually woke up from his coma. He sat up slowly, rubbed his temples with a frown, and then, as if suddenly remembering something important, he jerked his head up at Xiuhe.
There was a kind of anger in the white eyes, but in the depths of this anger, there seemed to be a trace of emotion that had nothing to do with anger. Xiuhe seemed to have expected Mo Bai to have such a reaction, he raised his head, pulled an embarrassed but good-looking smile at Mo Bai, and calmly looked him into the eyes.
Such a scene of staring at each other made me want to escape inexplicably, but just as I was about to turn away, Mo Bai opened his mouth and said to me:
Explained. ”
Mo Bai's voice was a little hoarse, but this did not affect his momentum and attitude at all. I was taken aback by his sudden question, and when I was nervous, I blurted out a sentence:
"What do you say?"
As soon as I said that, I felt extremely regretful, because the way I look now, I don't need to look at it to know that it must be exactly the same as when I was stupid. Xiu He on the side closed his eyes helplessly and pinched the bridge of his nose, as if lamenting why he had a teammate whose IQ was so out of shape, I looked at him with great embarrassment, and apologized in my heart for destroying the sad atmosphere he had just built up.
I and Xiuhe's silent "singing and harmony" here seems to be very tacit, but Mo Bai has no reaction to the performance of the two of us at all, he only keeps staring at Xiuhe fiercely, completely ignoring my existence.
Although Mo Bai ruthlessly ignored it, with the lessons of the past, I didn't dare to act rashly. After a few minutes of stalemate, Xiu He realized that Mo Bai had been looking at him. This made him feel a little embarrassed, so he had to adjust his sitting posture to cover up, coughed dryly twice, and said to Mo Bai:
"Why are you scaring a little girl, I'm not like this, just ask me about something. ”
"Do you think I'm still the one who doesn't know anything?"
Jade Soul Gui's tone added a hint of mockery to the indifference, and there seemed to be a sense of provocation when blended together. Xiuhe rolled his eyes disappreciatively and replied:
"Even if you get your memories back, you're just a spirit, and if you don't have a physical body for a day, you can't turn back into a jade soul for a day. Honestly give me your ink, don't always look for trouble when it's okay. ”
"If you're afraid I'm going to get into trouble, you might as well kill me in the first place. ”
"The jade soul belongs to you, don't kick Lao Tzu's nose in the face, Lao Tzu risked his life to save you, but he didn't let you go to death again. You'd better forget everything you shouldn't remember, or Lao Tzu will kill you now, and save yourself the time to see you suffer from being killed by someone else's scourge. ”
The speed of Xiu He's face change was simply to the point of being superb, and he got up from his seat with a "pout", and he really had the posture of wanting to kill the Jade Soul. I saw that these two people were faintly inclined to make a move, and in order to avoid the safety of my own life and property being harmed, I immediately stood up and played a role in reconciliation.
"Eh, eh, you have to fight it, these things in my house are quite expensive, and you two can't afford to break them. ”
"Su Twelve, you little bastard, Lao Tzu loves you in vain. ”
Xiuhe was so angry with me that he probably wanted to rush over and ask me for two mouthfuls, of course, I definitely couldn't let him achieve this goal, so I immediately put on a righteous posture and said to Mo Bai:
"There will be time for the two of you to settle later, so let's talk about things related to all three of us first. Since you two are begging me to do something this time, now that the matter is done, I have to collect some compensation. Since someone still owes me two gold bracelets that have not been honored, I have decided to ask you to do me a favor this time. ”
Sure enough, when I said this, both of them fell silent. Xiu He understood what I was going to say, and there was an unpredictable emotion in his lowered eyes, and although Jade Soul Gui still had a cold face, his attitude finally eased.
When I saw the two of them like this, my hanging heart was half relieved, but the next task was still difficult, I glanced at the two of them, then took a deep breath, and continued:
"I'm looking for someone who has not only had a lot of bad effects on my friend's life, but has also hurt the people around me, and I need you to help me find him. ”
"If you're looking for someone, you're better at it than I am. ”
"If I could, I would be perfectly comfortable with spending ten or twenty years looking for him. But now are extraordinary times, and I don't have that time. You're the quickest shortcut I know, so I'm here to ask for your help. ”
"This is what I owe you, and I will naturally do it, but I need you to give me an hour now to settle the matter between the two of us first. ”
"No problem, I need a little time to prepare, tomorrow night, I'll get everything I need, and then you two will come to me. ”
"Good. ”
After the matter was decided, Jade Soul Gui didn't stay any longer, and left the teahouse alone. I looked at his back and let out a long breath, then collapsed and spread out on my chair.
Sinan is also cold, but he has always been gentle with me, and I have never felt any pressure by his side. But the Jade Soul was different, and after standing beside him for a while, I felt a great sense of oppression, and even felt a little difficult to breathe. This made me very glad that Jade Soul Gui agreed to my request so readily, because I was not actually prepared to tell him how to tell him the cause of this matter, what happened, and the conclusions that I had come to with Xiu.
Originally, this matter was too complicated, even I didn't know how to talk about it, and in this case, even if I was ready, I might not be able to show it too clearly, and more importantly, deep down, I didn't want Jade Soul Gui to participate in this matter like Xiuhe.
I did have plans to ask Mo Bai to help me, but when I knew that Jade Soul was going to end up like this because of the stone, I dispelled that idea. Stone doesn't know how much he paid to stop that fight, but I do, and it makes sense that Stone owes him his life, and I can't and shouldn't involve him again.
Although I had a lot of thoughts on my mind, Xiuhe seemed to be very satisfied with what I was doing, so satisfied that even after listening to Jade Soul's threatening words, he still held his head up and was full of confidence, as if he had solved all the problems. I don't know what will happen to the two of them next, but I don't think he'll have any good fruit to eat as he looks like now, so I kindly hugged him and showed him my sympathy for him. He didn't care at all, and followed the steps of the Jade Soul to return and left the thought of death.
I was the only one left in the empty room at this time, and I almost spread myself flat on the chair, my eyes closed, my head tilted, and the smiling face of Gui Yuan unconsciously appeared in my mind.
I'm sorry, I think, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise......
