Chapter 97: Quarrel in the woods

"Lost the staff?" Qian Hao drove the brown horse and slowly approached Shen Mengting's side. From time to time, the sound of horses' hooves echoed in my ears, "That's the one...... A very valuable staff?"

"That's right, it's the staff that you took a fancy to Zhao Yufei and others at a glance!" Shen Mengting was shaking her head lightly.

"Ahh

Zhao Yu scratched his head: "Hungry! It seems to be ......" he squinted and recalled, "I can't remember a little, but until dinner yesterday, I was still holding that staff." ”

Qian Hao immediately touched his chin and rolled his eyes towards the sky: "You mean last night's dinner table!" After a long time, he nodded slightly, "I also have an image when you say this, it seems that you did carry a magic staff at that time!"

"Then what about the future, remember you went to the toilet at that time!" Shen Mengting asked anxiously, "After going to the toilet, you should go straight back to the room, so do you remember if you brought the staff to the room?"

Shen Mengting's question was very important, because it was to confirm when Zhao Yu had lost his staff.

Zhao Yu looked extremely painful, he twisted his face, and kept scratching his head, "Hungry! I really can't remember this." I remember going back to my hotel room as soon as I went to the bathroom. But if you ask me if I'm wearing a staff, I can't remember that. ”

Suddenly, Zhao Yu looked at Shen Mengting with an expectant gaze, "Then when you returned to the room later, did you see that magic staff?"

"Am I not asking you?" Shen Mengting roared.

This roar made Zhao Yuwei hug Nasama's neck, and it also made Qian Hao's body even more shocked.

"Really, sometimes I don't know what you're thinking. Such a staff, and such a precious thing, you can lose it, I said do you have paste in your head?" Shen Mengting's scolding kept coming, and she felt like she was about to do it.

"Alright, alright. People didn't mean it, so you don't need to scold like this!" Qian Hao persuaded when he saw this.

But who would have thought that what he got was Shen Mengting's glare. "Qian Hao, I'm educating people, what are you interfering with on the side. What do you think you are?"

Qian Hao was choked up and didn't know how to reply.

Zhao Yu closed his eyes aggrievedly, as if he was enduring an incoming storm.

"I'll tell you, Zhao Yu. If you lose this staff, I'll see how you explain it to me. Shen Mengting crossed her waist with both hands.

"This ...... I don't want to!"

"What do you don't want to do, this is a magic staff! Have you forgotten how you got it? This is Yang ......" Just as she was about to say something, Shen Mengting realized that an outsider like Qian Hao was here. Helpless, she could only avoid the topic, "Zhao Yu, do you know what it means for a person to lose a weapon in Sailos?"

Without waiting for Zhao Yu to respond, Shen Mengting asked herself, "That's a dead end." You know what?," she said, shaking her hand violently around her, "even if a person can lose food or clothing, only weapons can never be left behind." For if you have no weapon in your hand, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered. You know that? Your enemies will never be soft on you for not having a weapon. So, you have to face all threats with weapons in hand at all times!"

"Now you're sorry, you lost your weapon. May I ask what you are thinking in your head?" Shen Mengting's eyes were as vicious as they were, and she also focused on Zhao Yu's head, "I think you're just dead!"

Qian Hao watched silently from the side, and when he saw Shen Mengting scolding Zhao Yu so bloody, he felt a little sympathetic to that boy. At the same time, Qian Hao was also afraid of Shen Mengting's fierce eyes.

Zhao Yu finally straightened his waist, "Okay, you've scolded enough, I know, it's all my fault, I lost the staff." So what now?" he said, with a hint of crying in his voice.

When Shen Mengting saw this, she was no longer angry. Her tone softened a little, but it was also a hundred and eight thousand miles away from friendliness, "What do you mean? This is the question you should ask now! You should think to me now, how to get the staff back!"

"Ahh

"Zhao Yu, think about it again, when was the last time you saw the staff?" Qian Hao interjected.

Zhao Yu quickly swirled his eyes in his sockets, "Oops!

"If you can't think of it, you have to think about it!" Shen Mengting yelled viciously.

Zhao Yu shrank his neck in fright, he closed his eyes tightly, and it seemed that he was already trying very hard to remember.

"Okay, don't scold him anymore, even if you scold him to death, you won't be able to change the reality that the staff has been lost!, so let's analyze the current situation!" Qian Hao pursed his lips and completely stopped the horse he was riding.

It was also at this time that Shen Mengting made a grinning motion.

"I'm talking about Qian Hao!" Shen Mengting's eyes glanced at Qian Hao, "You seem to be very concerned about this kid losing his staff!"

"Of course, I know very well that it's not an ordinary staff. It's not good to lose it!"

"Oh, is that really the case?" Shen Mengting's grin was even more exaggerated, and she was about to reach the state of baring her teeth, "Are you worried about this, or are you highly related to him losing his staff!"

Shen Mengting's words surprised Qian Hao, he could understand what this woman wanted to express.

"Hey, what do you mean by this woman? do you mean I lost his staff?" Qian Hao clenched his fists angrily.

"Qian Hao, don't blame me for doubting you. After all, I still know very well what kind of person you are. ”

"What are you talking nonsense? Let me tell you, I'm Qian Hao, though I'm going to do something shameless. But I'm not going to be a thief!"

"Who knows, you also revealed your heart at the earliest, and you were very interested in Zhao Yu's staff. So whether you're taking the sheep by the hand or not, I'm not sure at all. ”

"You don't talk nonsense. I'll admit I had my eye on that staff. However, if it's that kid's thing, I'm definitely not going to touch it. If I really want to get it, I will go straight to grab it. I would never touch a little bit of petty theft. So you stop talking nonsense. Qian Hao's mood has obviously reached the highest level, and he does not have the gentleness and friendliness he used to treat women.

"Aha, I'm talking nonsense. Shen Mengting clasped her arms with both hands, but she quickly spread them out again, "Qian Hao, if you want to prove your innocence, tell me honestly, what did you knock on my door last night for? It shouldn't be just to study the route!"

"You ......" Qian Hao's eyes almost widened into two round balls, which were very different from his usual thin slit eyes.

"Besides, you Qian Hao won't do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, but what about your friends! I've been thinking about it on the way, how can a person like you be alone, I guess you should have a wandering friend! Where is he? Could it be that he joined you in the hotel last night and touched the staff?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. What can you talk nonsense about without evidence?" Qian Hao moved his body sharply, and he also made the horses he rode move together, "Yes, I had friends at the beginning. But when I was in Akita, I dumped him, and I didn't meet anyone alone since I joined your team. ”

"That's just one side of the story. ”

Just when Shen Mengting and Qian Hao were arguing at their most intense, Zhao Yu finally couldn't bear to break out.

"Okay, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It was my carelessness that I lost my staff, and it was all my fault. Don't be noisy anymore. For now, we should find the staff first and then talk about it!" Zhao Yu cried and inserted his words between the two.

The two finally let go of each other's prejudices. After about a minute or two of silence, Qian Hao was the first to speak.

"It's useless to say anything now, Zhao Yu is right, the top priority is to find the staff first. Whether it was lost or stolen by someone else is not the most important thing. The key is whether we can get the staff back!" Qian Hao calmly expressed his opinion.

"Well, that's a good point. Let's think about how to get the staff back. Shen Mengting naturally agreed. She no longer argues with anyone, and enters the rhythm of searching for things with her friends.

"As I said before, let's analyze the current situation!" Qian Hao's face was quite serious, which was a little different from his usual appearance, "The difficulty we are encountering now is obvious, that is, Zhao Yu lost his staff. Then, we need to think about how to get the staff back. And if you want to get it back, you have to find out exactly when you lost it. Do you agree with me?"

"I agree, but when did this kid lose his staff?"

Well...... Qian Hao thought about it for a moment, and he also touched his neck with one hand, "Zhao Yu said that he still had a magic staff with him when he ate last night. We can both testify to this. Do you agree that the earliest time the staff was lost was after dinner?"

Shen Mengting's nostrils let out a breath: "You are right. Because we had all seen the staff at that time, it should have been in the kid's hand before that. ”

"Then the earliest time when the staff was lost has been determined, but what about the latest?" Qian Hao licked his lips and returned to the appearance of deputy reasoning, "Zhao Yu found out that the staff was lost a few minutes ago. However, we didn't see the staff along the way, and we didn't hear anything falling. So we shouldn't take the time when Zhao Yu realized that the staff had been lost as the latest time, do you think I'm right?"

"Well, that's right. This time it was Zhao Yu who answered Qian Hao's question, and he also showed a look of admiration for Qian Hao.

"So when did the staff get lost?" Shen Mengting entered into thought.

"I think it might be. Qian Hao made an assumption, "When Zhao Yu left the Motai Hotel in Fujing Town in the morning, the staff should have been out of his hand. The reason for this is that we didn't see the staff when we rode away, so I think the last time the staff was lost was before we left the hotel. ”

"That means the staff is still in the hotel!"

"Well, you can guess that. The earliest time is after dinner last night, and the latest time is before leaving the hotel. Qian Hao's hands seemed to be holding something at a distance, and he moved it here and there from time to time, "And if this is the place where Zhao Yu stays alone during this time, the place where Zhao Yu stays alone is the most likely place to leave his staff. ”

After finishing speaking, Qian Hao turned his face to Zhao Yu: "Zhao Yu, think about it carefully, when were you alone in the hotel yesterday." ”

Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, but before he could move, Shen Mengting spoke for him.

"This kid was alone yesterday for two periods of time. The time when a person goes to the toilet after dinner, and then the time when he has to leave the hotel in the morning. Because I was going to pick up the horses from the hostel's stable!"

Qian Hao snapped his fingers suddenly after hearing this, "That's right, the most likely time to leave the staff is in these two time periods." Of course, we also need to consider that the staff is not necessarily lost naturally, but may have been stolen by someone else. Speaking of this, Qian Hao unconsciously turned his eyes to Shen Mengting.

Shen Mengting immediately avoided it after making eye contact with Qian Hao, "But anyway, let's first consider that the staff is naturally lost." ”

"Well, that's fine. Qian Hao's expression relaxed, "Then let's think about this first!"

"Qian Hao, Shen Mengting. What the hell are we going to do now?"

"What else can I do? Of course, I'll look for it in that hotel in Fukui Town!" Shen Mengting replied to Zhao Yu angrily.

"Yes, that's all we have to do now. During the two time periods, Zhao Yu stayed in the public toilet in the lobby of the hotel, and there was room 408 where you lived. So I highly suspect that the staff is still left there. ”

"Then what's the nonsense, let's turn around and go to Fukui Town!" Shen Mengting said as she pulled the horse's reins.

"Let's go!" Qian Hao also turned the horse around.

Now, there is probably only one way to go back and find a way, and Zhao Yu really expects from his heart to find the staff. Because it was at the moment he got the staff that he experienced the joy of becoming a magician, and he saw that his future was bright. Of course, the preciousness of this staff was undoubted, it was personally given to Zhao Yu by the first magician of the Saran Kingdom. Whenever Zhao Yu thought of this, he had a supreme sense of glory.

Therefore, both in public and private, he hoped that he would not leave the staff. And Shen Mengting was also anxious, this was Uncle Yang Jiening's relic! She swore that she would definitely find the staff.

Looking at the direction of Fujing Town, Shen Mengting and Qian Hao instigated their horses to run. They ran towards Fukui Town at a high speed, almost as fast as they could.

And during this period, Zhao Yu has been thinking about a question: what should I do if the staff can't be found?

If you want to say that when they left Fukui Town, they walked around slowly, but this time when they went back, they ran quickly. So in just over an hour, they returned to the town gate of Fukui Town.

Really, they had already left, but they didn't expect to come back again! Shen Mengting's heart was still a little irritable.

Once in the town, it didn't take them much effort to arrive at the Motel Hotel. There were still people coming and going on both sides of the hotel, and they stopped at the door.

"Qian Hao, you watch the horse at the door! I'll take this kid into the hotel to look for it. Shen Mengting jumped off Nasa's back without saying a word, and she also hugged Zhao Yu by the way.

Qian Hao didn't say anything, he answered, and he got off the horse. He watched as the two men ran into the Motel Hotel, hoping that they would retrieve the staff.

Anyway, he also knew the reason why Shen Mengting did this, this woman clearly wanted to break up herself! Qian Hao smacked his tongue and grabbed the reins of the two horses at the same time. Now, he can only wait outside the hotel.

As soon as Shen Mengting and Zhao Yu rushed into the hotel, they met the innkeeper head-on. The boss seemed very surprised, he asked Shen Mengting why she left, and now she is back?

Shen Mengting didn't want to pay much attention, but she understood that in order to enter room 408, she had to have a key. Therefore, she still calmly said to the innkeeper:

"Excuse me, boss. We may have left something in the hotel, can you give us the key to room 408?"

The boss froze suddenly, and he looked a little embarrassed: "Ah! You have left something in the room where you live!"

"Exactly!"

"Well, if a traveler forgets something in his room, our hotel is obliged to look for it. Well, I'm not sure if there's a new occupant in this room, but if there is, ......."

"Alright. Shen Mengting rudely interrupted the boss's speech, and she took out a gold coin from her money bag, "Boss, you have a good look." This gold coin is given to you, and I don't care if room 408 is rented out now, you can give me a reason to go in and find it. Also, please give me the key as well. ”

The boss was ecstatic and took the coin, "Oh, Miss, why be so polite! I'll go get the key to room 408 for you." ”

Seeing the boss stumbling back to the counter, Zhao Yu questioned Shen Mengting, "Didn't he say that the room might have been rented out?"

"Shut up for me!" Shen Mengting directly choked Zhao Yuxia, "If it weren't for you kid who lost my magic staff, why would I spend that unjust money." So be honest with me now, and look for me seriously when I get into the room. ”

In the face of Shen Mengting's vicious lesson, Zhao Yu did not dare to show the slightest disobedience. He nodded cowardly, and no longer dared to say anything more.

When the innkeeper brought the key, Shen Mengting took it, and then pulled Zhao Yu and ran straight to the fourth floor above.

When she came to the door of room 408, Shen Mengting opened the door with a key. The moment the door opened, Zhao Yu looked inside. It was exactly the same as the scene when I left the morning, and everything inside was intact and untouched.
