31. Sophistication

Hearing such words, Su Qing's first thought was to feel ridiculous, but also in the turn of thoughts, there was an inexplicable weird feeling. She didn't have the heart to take care of Xun Yuelou, so she pulled up the guy and walked out: "What news do you know, I will explain it honestly to our master later, and the reward will definitely not be less than you." ”

The guy was suddenly bluffed by her, and a lot of water spilled from the basin in his hand. When he heard that there was money to collect, he stopped there when he was subconsciously struggling, and dragged her along the way, and said with a smile on his face: "Girl, don't worry, I must know everything!"

When he arrived at the door of Gu Yuan's room, Su Qing was so anxious that he forgot to knock on the door for a while, so he pushed straight in.

When the people in the room heard the sound, the two of them looked at each other, and the posture of untying their clothes just paused there.

A green silk did not tie up, but fell on his side scatteredly, and the moonlight like water fell on his body, dispelling a lot of the unapproachable coldness on weekdays, adding a charm that people couldn't take their eyes off at a glance.

It looks like a person in a painting coming out of an ink scroll, and suddenly looking back, the deep color of his eyes is enough to suck anyone in in an instant.

Su Qing's gaze slowly fell along the jaw over the collarbone, and finally stopped at the slightly exposed chest, and swallowed silently.

As soon as the strength of his hand was loosened, the man was about to turn around in surprise, so he fell straight to the ground, and the water basin fell to the ground with a loud "bang", faintly echoing in the silent floor for a long time.

"What's the matter?" The look in Gu Yuan's eyes had been put away in a moment, and he pulled his shirt back as if he hadn't checked it, and tied the belt of his clothes unhurriedly.

Su Qing swallowed the saliva from his mouth, pushed the guy on the ground into the house, and said, "Master, there seems to be something strange happening in Tuzhou County, I feel strange, so I brought this little brother over." He should have known better. ”

Gu Yuan said lightly: "But it's about defrauding the corpse." ”

Su Qing was stunned: "Master, do you know?" ”

"Know." Gu Yuan sat down at the table, raised his eyes to look at the guy who was pushed to him, and said, "Tell me about it." ”

His eyes fell lightly on his body, and the man felt that his whole body was cold, and his words were like bubbling spring water, and he suddenly poured out: "If you want to start from the earliest, it should be half a year ago." At that time, the nearby area was severely flooded, and the dead bodies were everywhere, and after a short time, some people in the west of the city first contracted the epidemic, and gradually began to spread to other places. You must know that the supplies were very scarce at that time, and there was no way to relieve the epidemic for a while, so Master Li made a quick decision and sent the sick people to the Forgotten Dust Nunnery on Quanbai Mountain in the west. ”

The epidemic is very easy to spread, and although such a move by Master Li is a last resort, it is equivalent to cutting off the last way for those people to live.

Originally, a temple that burned incense to offer to the Buddha became a Shura field, which inevitably made people feel a little embarrassed.

Su Qing's eyebrows twisted slightly, and asked, "Are all those who went up the mountain dead at that time?" ”

The guy said, "It's weird here!" You must know that there is no one to take care of the patients in a hermitage on the mountain, isn't it clear that they are all dead? Unexpectedly, about seven days later, when the imperial court sent people to deliver food, they found that those people were all suddenly sick again! ”

"No, you're all cured?" Su Qing was a little unconvinced.

"No, none of them are dead!" The guy straightened his chest and put on a straightforward look that was absolutely not lying, but the more he talked, the more excited he became, "After those people were taken back to the city, they really didn't feel sick anymore, and they were even more tiger than when they were not sick." However, as long as I asked what happened in the temple, I didn't know anything. At that time, this miracle was spread everywhere, and it was said that the Buddha in the nunnery had appeared. ”

Seeing that he never meant to stop, Su Qing couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "What does this have to do with cheating corpses?" ”

"What's the hurry, I'm not talking about it." The guy gave her a blank look and said, "Later, the county sent some patients with epidemic diseases to the Forgotten Dust Nunnery, and after a few days, all the symptoms disappeared and returned to the county. This went on for a long time, until one day suddenly people began to die. ”

Su Qing said: "Didn't you say that all the medicine is in addition to the disease, how can you die?" Did he die of an epidemic? ”

"It's not an epidemic, but it's all people who have come back from the nunnery." The guy looked at her deeply, and his tone suddenly cooled strangely, "The first to die was the thatched butcher of the pork shop, it is said that he was fine on the kang that day, and when the mother-in-law woke up the next day, she suddenly found that she was out of gas." And ah, the appearance of death is terrible, the whole body is crawling with maggots, and when I came to the autopsy, it was said that it was rotten inside, which looked like a corpse that had only been dead for a day, and it was almost a month old. ”

Under his cold words, Su Qing subconsciously imagined the scene at that time, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusting: "Then what? ”

"And then?" The guy tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if remembering a bad memory, and his face turned slightly pale, "And then it's a month ago." As if they had fallen into some evil, the people who came back from the temple died one after another, and even the death was the same. Everyone thought that the evil gate was evil, so they went up the mountain and completely demolished the forgotten dust hermitage, and then carefully pondered this matter, and calculated from the time inferred, isn't it the right time to send them up the mountain at that time? In this way, those people were already dead when they came down from the mountain. This...... It's not a corpse, what else can it be. ”

"Really...... It's evil. Su Qing said, "Have you seen those corpses with your own eyes?" ”

The guy shook his head and said, "How can it, just listening to others makes me feel infiltrating, who can rush to see it." ”

Su Qing looked up at Gu Yuan, but saw that there was still no excessive expression on his face, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, you also know all of these?" ”

"I don't know." Gu Yuan twisted the cup on the table and weighed it up and down, and said in a manly voice, "However, it's very interesting." ”

He glanced at the guy lightly and said, "You go out first." It's time to tip, and tomorrow won't be less of you. ”

As soon as the man heard that there was really a reward, he immediately smiled and retreated.

Gu Yuan watched Su Qing close the door, raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "Xunyue Tower is here?" ”

"Yes." Su Qing was a little speechless, thinking that Gu Yuan had something important to say, but he didn't expect that he actually remembered to ask about it.

Gu Yuan said: "Tomorrow we will enter Tuzhou County, let him be together." ”

Su Qing was also hesitating about how to mention the matter of Xunyue Tower, but he didn't expect Gu Yuan to take the initiative to speak, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Before he could answer, he felt a cold gaze pass over his body, and the man's tone was inexplicably low: "You are very happy." ”

"With the help of Xun Yuelou, the old man is like a tiger with wings, which is naturally something to be happy about." Su Qing slapped a sycophant casually, but he muttered a little in his heart.

Gu Yuan's behavior has been really strange recently, so strange that she has to make some unbelievable guesses.

She secretly looked at him, but the scene of that night in the wilderness inexplicably appeared in her mind, although she could not be called a lonely man and a widow, but her cheeks were slightly hot, her face was red and her heart was beating.

She had touched so many men before, this was undoubtedly the most abnormal time, she didn't know if she liked it, but she couldn't deny that she had a strange feeling for Gu Yuan, this feeling was very subtle, but it was also too difficult to grasp, which made her a little frightened.

If such a feeling is called liking, then - what about Gu Yuan?

"Master, if I fall into the water at the same time as Miss Liu, who will you save first?" Su Qing's mind was full of chaos, and he suddenly said such a sentence in silence.

The cup that Gu Yuan had just brought to his lips paused slightly, and looked up.

The question is stupid and naΓ―ve.

Glancing at him with a deep and cold gaze, Su Qing responded to what he had just said, his face couldn't help but flush with a red glow, and he suddenly said something hesitantly: "That, that...... I mean, although the flooding in Tuzhou is under control, who can guarantee that it will not be ...... again? No, I'm actually trying to say ......"

"Save you." Deeply magnetic and two nice voicing.

Gu Yuan's eyelashes drooped slightly, interrupting her somewhat rambling excuse and hiding the extremely shallow curvature of the corners of her lips.

Su Qing was stunned: "Why do you want to ...... Save me? ”

Gu Yuan said: "Fanghua has a good water nature. ”

Su Qing: "......"

She was speechless.

Gu Yuan lowered his head and took a sip of sake, knocked his fingertips on the table, and suddenly said, "Those so-called 'corpse fraud' incidents should be related to the person I am looking for." At that time, something unexpected may happen. After entering Tuzhou County, you will follow Xunyuelou's side, and never leave half a step. Got it? ”

The topic of inexplicably turning away and turning back inexplicably made Su Qing a little dizzy, and he almost couldn't keep up with Gu Yuan's train of thought. However, when I heard the last sentence, I heard the meaning, and I couldn't help asking, "What about you, master?" ”

"Naturally, I have my own preparations. At that time, no matter what happens, as long as there is danger, you will let Xun Yuelou take you away, the farther away the better. ”

Under the tapping of Gu Yuan's fingertips, the desktop emitted a heavy sound again and again, Gu Yuan looked out the window, his slightly scattered clothes fell in the middle of the night, and he felt a little lonely inexplicably.

This kind of unprovoked feeling should not belong to this man, the light in Su Qing's eyes paused slightly, took a coat and put it on his thin back, and his voice was almost only audible to himself: "I will definitely not interfere with the master's plan." ”

His back stiffened slightly.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes for a moment of silence, and the moonlight fell between his eyelashes, vaguely blurring his vision. With a slight touch of her fingertips, she subconsciously wanted to touch her hand, but after stagnation in the fixed mid-air, she finally fell back.

For him, controlling himself is the only way not to harm the people around him.
