Chapter 8: Conspiracy
(Readers, this is inventory, sent out to satisfy hunger. I'm sorry to have a problem with my blood test recently and it may be delayed for a while......)
Before the sun set, we rushed to this compound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This garden is really big enough, from the door to the living room to cross the three houses, these three houses are a type of east and west direction, green tiles and white walls, on both sides is a long corridor, the corridor is a rafter from the low wall, and then supported by wooden pillars, lined with green tiles, both elegant and not afraid of wind and rain, the low wall next to the corridor is open with flower windows, separated by wooden window lattices, those low walls are not straight to the end, but winding and undulating, so that the corridor also winds and undulates, which is interesting.
Such a building will be calm into the elegant, not only solemn and serious to set off the owner's extraordinary identity, but also appear full of interest, giving people infinite reverie, it can be seen that it is from everyone's handwriting, the shot is extraordinary.
Angela had never seen this kind of traditional Chinese architecture, and she was very fond of it. My mind is not on the building, just guessing what can make Jeff hijack Gao Fengyin, I have not been able to find a reasonable explanation, we only met a while ago, it seems that he has not changed very much, there is no reason to stand on the opposite side of me. Although, seeing Angela and me, it was a little bitter, but, according to what I know about him, he will not retaliate on this matter. Maybe the only explanation at the moment is that Jeff didn't know the relationship between Jiang Lanlan and me, and he suffered such a big loss in her hands, and took advantage of the bad mood caused by Angela and my affair to take revenge and get angry.
If that's the case, it should be easier, as long as you can find him and explain it.
The first problem at the moment is to find Jeff. When I left the hospital, I asked Jiang Lanlan about the location of the Xiao family, but I didn't expect it to be even more remote than my hometown, and I didn't arrive until this time.
After I explained the purpose and identity of coming here, I was led around this courtyard for nearly twenty minutes, which shows the huge size of this courtyard, and it seems that the Xiao family was once prominent. Without a little family background, it is impossible to have a base of this scale.
The young man who led the way stopped in front of an old hall and said respectfully, "Please wait here for a while, and I will report it." ”
I didn't say anything, waved my hand, and led Angela into the hall.
Like all old houses, the door of this hall faces south, which means to sit north and face south, and the golden light from the setting sun shines directly into the house unhindered, which makes Angela and I feel a little uncomfortable. Angela chanted a mantra softly and cast a small light-shielding spell. The light in the room dimmed, and the feeling of discomfort was much better.
Two rows of mahogany chairs are neatly placed in the room, and a mahogany offering platform is placed in the center, enshrined in the Taoist ancestor Taishang Laojun. If it weren't for Jeff, I might have sat down here quietly and sipped the best Longjing tea. However, now my mind is in a mess, pacing back and forth in the house. Angela, on the other hand, seemed calmer and stood aside without speaking.
Footsteps rang out, and Angela and I turned our heads to look out the door at the same time.
Mother Xiao Yun and Queen Elizabeth walked in the front, followed by a few old men who looked like they were about to enter the grave, but my intuition told me that these old men were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and they were probably the elders of the Xiao family. It seems that her mother's status in the Xiao family is very high, otherwise she would not be so valued.
"Feng'er, why did you say goodbye yesterday?" There is no affection in the mother's words, but there is an indescribable indifference. I thought to myself: Wouldn't it be better for me to leave as you wish?
Although he thought so in his heart, Shan finally reluctantly put on a smiling face and said: "I was very happy to see my mother yesterday, and I just don't want to disturb my mother's good mood." ”
"Oh? So what are you doing here now? "It seems that my mother's dislike for me has reached the point where she can't control herself, and she doesn't hide it in her words at all. I don't know why this is the case, but I can vaguely guess that it has something to do with my father, Tachi. This disgust should have been passed on to me from Taqi.
I still had to rely on her power for a while, so I had no choice but to whisper the purpose of this trip: "A friend of mine is missing, I want to ......"
"Find him with the help of our powers?" My mother was unkind to me, and I was worse than an outsider. Several people around her were a little embarrassed, after all, I was her son, and it was not common for me to be so unkind to my son. There is a saying: Tiger poison does not eat children. It's like this to your own son, but what about others?
I was numb and replied, "Yes." ”
Feeling that Angela beside me couldn't stand it a little, I gently pulled her to make her endure a little. It's not time to turn the other cheek yet. I'm also angry in my heart, fuck, I have the ability to go to Tachi! What are I doing here? A psychopathic old witch who bullies the soft and fears the hard!
Queen Elizabeth didn't seem to be able to stand it, and she asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
I pulled Jeff's chest ornament out of my pocket, and before I could speak, I heard the queen exclaim, "What happened to Jeff?" ”
I gave her a strange look, Jeff's accident had nothing to do with this queen, how could there be such a reaction? It shouldn't be...... I shook my head, I've been encountering too many things like this lately, and I can't help but think about it. The status and status of the queen would never allow her to like a defected hunter like Jeff. There should be no problem in this regard...... It seems that I want to be crooked.
"It's Jeff, I'm looking for him now. Know one thing. I said slowly.
The mother casually walked over to a chair, picked up the tea bowl and slid it lightly, and asked, "What's the matter?" "I suddenly had a strange feeling, as if this woman had known what was going on. After carefully observing the demeanor of several people, Queen Elizabeth looked unaware, and she should not be pretending. And the elders couldn't see anything, like a few stone statues, they couldn't see anything.
I roughly recounted what happened, and I didn't go into detail about the complicated relationship between me and Jiang Lanlan and Gao Yi, but I just said that I found this at the scene of a friend's daughter's disappearance. Maybe there's some misunderstanding between Jeff and me.
Queen Elizabeth was obviously relieved to know that Jeff would not do any harm, and I couldn't help but wonder if she might really be interesting to Jeff. My mother didn't speak for a long time, and when I was a little angry, she said, "I know where Jeff is." ”
I was shocked that she had not yet investigated, but she said that she knew about Jeff's movements, and it seemed that she had already launched a monitoring network against Jeff. Otherwise, if Jeff has recently made some moves that aroused the vigilance of the Xiao family, this effect would have been produced.
"Where is he now?" I eagerly asked, there are too many mysteries in this matter, everything can only be solved when Jeff appears, as long as Jeff is found, everything will be easy.
The mother put down the tea bowl and said, "He went to Miaojiang." ”
I wondered, what does Jeff do in that kind of place? Miao Jiang, that is, Yunnan Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where is the famous poor mountains and evil mountains, the legendary cup art originated in this place, the cup is a mysterious skill in southwest China, according to legend, the cup master collects poisons from all over the world, feeds them for many days and then puts them into the basin to kill each other, and the most toxic poison left is the material made into the cup. This kind of witchcraft is very cruel in the legend, if the person who keeps the cup can't find the object of the poison in time, he will be eaten by the poison and die a miserable death. There are also many mysterious rumors related to this land. For example: chasing corpses and stuff like that. In short, this place is not to be taken lightly.
"What is he doing in Miaojiang?" I asked.
The mother said calmly: "Because we saw traces of Taqi and Alvin in Miaojiang. Although the tone was calm, I could still feel the deep hatred wrapped in it. For Taqi, the mother can be said to hate to the bone marrow.
"So, how did this ornament end up here?" I wasn't too surprised by the appearance of Taqi and Alvin, I had long guessed that if Aardwolf became more powerful before he appeared, he would definitely increase his energy at all costs, and ancient China was the best place to cultivate. Alvin was probably here to drag Tachi's hind legs. But how did Jeff get together with the Xiao family? Odd......
"How do I know, you ask him?" My mother shook off this sentence and walked out, obviously impatient with me.
I finally asked, "Why is Jeff with you?" This time it was not the mother who answered, but Queen Elizabeth: "After you left that night, we saw him wandering alone on the way back to the city. Fortunately, although we didn't get along, we were in a better mood that day, so there was no conflict. ”
I frowned and said, "Then you won't tell him the information about Taqi and Alvin's arrival in Miaojiang?" ”
"Yes, but when the short-sighted spy reported, Jeff, the bastard, was there." My mother didn't seem to want to say anything more to me and turned to leave the hall. "Second Senior Brother, send off!" This is what she said outside the house, and it turned out to be a direct eviction order.
The queen frowned, said nothing, and followed.
Then an old man came in and said respectfully to us, "Please come with me." "It seems to be the second senior brother.
The old man escorted us all the way out of the gate, and Angela and I glanced at the closed gate and headed into the city. "Are you going to Miaojiang?" Angela remained silent during the argument and didn't ask me until this point.
"I don't know, I feel like something isn't quite right, but I just can't tell what went wrong. Strange thing......" I whispered.
Angela said softly, "I know your mother is lying, but I don't know why. ”
"Lying?" I paused abruptly and asked, "How do you know?" ”
"There's a thaumaturgy that's specifically designed to be detected." Angela said, "Jeff probably didn't go to Miaojiang. But, oddly enough, Queen Elizabeth apparently wasn't lying, what the hell were they doing? ”
I laughed, "It seems that your abilities have reached a very high level, when will you tell me about your adventures?" ”
Angela was anxious: "Are you still in the mood to joke now?" Think about what to do! ”
"It's easy, let's go back!" I said.
Angela's mind couldn't turn for a moment, and she asked, "Go back?" Where to go back? ”
I whispered in her ear, "Go back to Xiao's house......"
Angela's body shook and asked, "...... you doubt?"
I nodded and said, "That's right, I suspect that all this is the Xiao family's ghost." ”
As long as you go back to Xiao's house to take a look, you can solve the mystery.
I smell conspiracy......
