I knew that Mizhen wouldn't ask me such a question for no reason, and combined with what I knew from talking to her before, I knew that she had already been shaken by what I said. I nodded www.biquge.info and repeated what I had said to her in the café yesterday, Mi Zhen hesitated for a long time, and finally said seriously as if she had made a lot of determination: "Then let's make a private agreement, and the two of us will work together to find the white snake." But you have to do me a favor, I need you to go to the auction on Friday. But you're not alone, I'll arrange for another person to pick you up when the time comes. I think Su Baichang will definitely take the initiative to contact you after learning that you participated in this auction, but afterwards you just need to let your partner who was with you that day contact him. ”

"Is that partner one of yours too?" I understood that Mi Zhen wanted me to act as a decoy, and although I couldn't help but be a little scared, I didn't hesitate to agree to the thought of being able to continue to follow up on this matter.

Mi Zhen nodded: "The person who went to the auction with you was an apprentice of my grandfather, and he was a completely trustworthy person. Also, except for the three of us, you have to promise me not to let anyone else know about this matter, not even Zixuan. ”

I looked at Mi Zhen with some curiosity: "Isn't he on your side?" I mean, aren't they on our side? ”

Mi Zhen's eyes flickered, as if she didn't want to say anything more about this matter. I didn't want to ask any further, and was going to discuss other details of the auction with Mi Zhen, but Mi Zhen sighed and brought the topic back to her and Zixuan's position: "I went to you yesterday, in fact, I was also cheering myself up. ”

I looked at Mizhen suspiciously, not understanding what she meant.

Mi Zhen's hand kept fiddling with the edge of the pillow: "Actually, in addition to you, I am the one who was refused to participate in this matter." ”

"Huh?" I didn't expect that Mi Zhen was actually excluded from the investigation, and I was surprised, and I was speechless for a while.

Mi Zhen seemed to know my reaction for a long time, and said helplessly: "You know, including going to you, it was all done on the impulse of my head. In addition, I want to admit that I still want to find you to prove that I am not as stupid and bad as Zixuan imagined. I wanted to tell him that I also had my own solution, and I thought your dad had talked to you about such a white snake before. But I didn't expect him to be so protective of you, and he didn't even reveal a bit of his tone to you. Later, when I knew that you went to find Su Baichang, I Feihang regretted my previous decision, I didn't think that Su Baichang would hurt me, but I was afraid that such an insidious person would bring you a great disaster. Although I didn't say anything at the time, I was really frightened at the time, and I didn't know what to do, so I went to Zixuan again, and Zixuan was also very surprised that you were even more impulsive than me. I really regret that you were involved, or you would have lived your life in peace, as your father had envisioned, rather than facing the dangers and fears of this position. Actually, I was already out before I could find you. This is also the reason why I quarreled with Zixuan. I think you insist on following up on this investigation, but Zixuan is extremely unwilling, and we have quarreled a lot over this matter. The first echelon we met, after you went home, Zixuan and I argued about this matter again, he didn't expect me to involve you who were innocent who could obviously stay out of the matter into this matter. He said that I had no brains, I couldn't tell the severity, and felt that I had taken exposing Su Baichang's matter as child's play, and didn't notice how dangerous this matter was. It's so dangerous that the two of us could die at any moment. So he warned me, yes, a warning. Mi Zhen noticed the incredulous look in my eyes and emphasized, "Warning me not to meddle in anything about White Snake or Su Baichang." He felt that I was very willful and disregarded your life and death, and he was very angry. In fact, I can understand Zixuan's anger, and what he said is not wrong, I just helped Su Baichang cook the shop for a while, and I don't know what demons and monsters are still hidden behind him, and what dangerous transactions he has engaged in that we can't even imagine. And my ignorance is tantamount to pushing the two of us into the fire pit, I can die by myself, but I can't involve you who are innocent in the first place. So, I apologize to you in the first place. ”

"So yesterday you ran to me to make up for your mistakes, hoping that I would give up? So that I can get through this time safely? I asked her along Mi Zhen's train of thought, "But you know, as you said, as long as I came into contact with Su Baichang, in fact, I had stepped into a bottomless pit. And in the absence of any rescue measures, I really waited for death at the bottom of the pit or found a way to climb out of the pit and see again, which was also my own decision. But I wanted to climb out step by step, for myself and to be able to get to know my father better. ”

Mi Zhen nodded: "Although I want to apologize to you, I don't want you to give up halfway through today." Now that we are in danger, we can only fight back. Moreover, I know that I can't convince you, in a way, you are really stubborn and terrible. I know your stubbornness is because your father is involved. In fact, if you think about this matter from your point of view, maybe I will make the same choice as you, and hold on to any trace that can once again experience the life of my loved one, just like Tu Lao grabs any air where his breath exists. Even if you know it's just a dream. Mi Zhen laughed, her eyes were a little red, and the words of discrimination sounded more like she was saying it to herself.

I suddenly had a premonition that something was not good, and I clenched my fists and whispered, "Mizhen, have you had the same experience as me?" ”

Mi Zhen was stunned, she closed her eyes and said something that shocked me very much: "It's not that there were, but we are going through the same thing, but I knew something earlier than you." Something I knew about my grandfather before he died. ”

Mi Zhen didn't let me interject and continued: "Su Baichang has never suspected me because he doesn't know that I am Li Rongguang's granddaughter at all, and my mother is an illegitimate daughter. ”

"Was your grandfather Li Rongguang a well-known collector of antiques? Or is he a jewelry merchant like Su Baichang? "The only identities I can think of for his grandfather are these two professions related to Su Baichang's business.

Mi Zhen shook her head: "Neither." Do you remember when Su Baichang sang to you the story of the white snake, he mentioned how he got this necklace? ”

"Didn't you buy it from one of the too many overseas Chinese?" I said without thinking, but as soon as the words fell, I realized another question, "Do you want to tell me that your grandfather is the overseas Chinese in the story?" ”

Mi Zhen nodded, but her attitude was not very firm: "That's right, my grandfather is the overseas Chinese who has always kept the white snake necklace in that story, but my grandfather has not made any transactions with Su Baichang, and even he doesn't know Su Baichang." That story is true, but it has nothing to do with Su Baichang himself. In fact, in that story, there are only grandfathers and your father. ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be horrified, I had imagined countless connections between my dad and this necklace, but I never dared to imagine that my dad would be the main character in this story.

Mizhen and I stopped talking, my mind went blank for a moment, I stared at the pillow in Mizhen's arms, but I didn't know what to say. Mi Zhen kept her head down, and no longer looked at me, her hand clutched the corner of the pillow: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you in the first place." ”

The impact was so severe that I needed to calm down. I stood up aimlessly and began to circle in circles. Mizhen was clearly frightened by my helplessness, her eyes widened, but she didn't know what to say, and finally let me spin around the living room.

"Drink something icy, I think." I'm already incoherent.

Mi Zhen stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen, but soon, she leaned out again: "Is it okay to drink the herbal tea you brewed?" I'll add a lot of honey. She cautiously consulted me.

I nodded, and soon Mi Zhen came out with two cups of herbal tea, and I drank it all in one gulp, then breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat down on the sofa again.

Mi Zhen took a small sip and immediately made a look of wanting to cry without tears, her whole face seemed to be gathered together sadly because of the taste of herbal tea, she stuck out her tongue, and said to me with a not very good expression: "You liar, obviously it's still hard to drink." ”

I was amused by Mi Zhen's expression, and at this time I began to regain some of my senses, and the sense of taste that I had temporarily lost because of my anxiety also recovered at this time, and the bitter taste of a little pantothenic Chinese herbal medicine spread in my mouth, and the taste buds were constantly stimulated: "White water, pour me a glass of water." "I kept fanning my tongue, hoping to distract some of the bitterness from my mouth. Mi Zhen and I ran to the water dispenser at the same time, and after filling a large glass of boiling water to relieve the strange taste in our mouths, we looked at each other and laughed, and finally the more we laughed, the more exaggerated they became, and they both fell on the sofa with their stomachs clutched.

"Mi Zhen can also deceive people, obviously swore that it was delicious." Mi Zhen pretended to be angry and said, "I bought so much, you can take it all away in a while, the taste is terrible, it seems to have eaten a Godzilla." I definitely don't drink it anymore. ”

"It's not that exaggerated." I gently slapped Mi Zhen, "Besides, you've eaten Godzilla before?" ”

Mi Zhen shook her head and looked at me very seriously: "No, but I guess Godzilla should taste better than the herbal tea you brewed." You seem, though. ”

"Seems like what?" I looked at Mi Zhen strangely.

Mi Zhen turned her gaze back to the cup of herbal tea on the coffee table that she hadn't finished, and then picked up the cup with a look of heroic sacrifice: "Those parents who lied to their children when they were young that drinking medicine was not bitter, and injections were not painful. After speaking, he raised his head and drank all the herbal tea in the cup, and then quickly ran to the water dispenser and took a full cup of boiled water and drank it. She had been there running down her stomach until she staggered into the kitchen as if she had been poisoned, and when she came out with two more bottles of cold soda.

Mi Zhen handed me a bottle: "Let's drink this unhealthy drink, at least it tastes very good." I can't be blessed with this kind of health tea. ”

The two of us drank the soda by ourselves: "Particular people don't pinch their noses and pour the whole cup into it like the two of us, they all drink it slowly." This may not taste so punchy. The two of us are a little too brave. And, I admit, I cooked it very unsuccessfully. In the future, we will go and sell herbal tea outside. ”

Mi Zhen laughed: "The two of us are very brave." ”

She turned to me again and held out her hand to me: "Officially introduce myself again, my name is Mi Zhen, I am the granddaughter of one of the main characters in that story, and it is a pleasure to work with you." ”
