Chapter 40: The Cause of the Robbery (4)
The window in the room is ajar, and the sturdy figure of the little podocarpus is reflected on the white window paper, taking advantage of the pale moonlight, revealing a faint sense of loneliness. The voice of a young shopkeeper in the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info just crossed the window and faintly entered Cen Kexuan's ears.
"Where did the stinky monk come from, get out quickly! This inner courtyard is not something you can just go in and out of. ”
Monk? Cen Kexuan was startled, and suddenly came back to his senses, remembering all kinds of things in the hall before, could it be that the monk hadn't left yet? She was secretly excited, and hurriedly stood up: "Bai Gongzi, I suddenly remembered some things, so I will leave first." After speaking, he didn't bother to explain too much to Bai Moyin, so he hurriedly ran towards the door, and the sound of hurried footsteps went all the way from the house to the door without hesitation.
Bai Moyin only made a slight gesture to ask for convenience, and saw the figure of the girl leaving in a hurry, and her eyes became deeper and deeper in her dark eyes.
Cen Kexuan had only one thought in his mind at this time, that is, not to let the monk run away. Walking into the courtyard, looking left and right, I finally saw a monk in a cloth dress standing under the corridor in the distance, being pushed and shoved by a bamboo horse in the same cloth clothes. Cen Kexuan immediately shouted: "Wait-"
The two of them turned around when they heard the sound, and Cen Kexuan looked at it, an old monk's robe had been washed white, two patches on the cuffs, his eyebrows were as light as chrysanthemums, and his expression was solemn and profound, and it was indeed the monk he had met before. She was overjoyed, waved her hand and sent the bamboo horse away, then raised her head and glanced up and down at the monk, and said with some surprise: "So you didn't leave?" ”
The monk lowered his eyebrows and was very likable, he lowered his head, Shi Shiran said: "The girl and the poor monk are destined, I didn't see the girl safe, and the poor monk didn't dare to leave without permission." ”
This monk still has a bit of a conscience. Cen Kexuan only pondered for a moment, and immediately asked what he was thinking: "Can you really predict the future?" This morning, she scoffed at this person's words, but if she thought about it seriously, if Bai Moyin hadn't shown up to help, she would have lost her arm even today. Worst words...... Thinking of the deep and strange dry well, her heart trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to think about it.
The monk was silent for a while before he said, "The poor monk has indeed learned some numerology techniques. ”
Cen Kexuan cares a lot, just thinking that he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't. So he forced the monk to a corner where no one was, looked around, and made sure that the wall had no ears, and then whispered: "I'm looking for someone, you ......"
Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind to take out the blood-red unicorn jade pendant she carried with her from the placket of her clothes, her movements were very careful, but she still couldn't help but look around, and then continued: "That person has the same jade pendant as me, you can show it to me." As he spoke, he handed the jade pendant in his hand to the monk. This is the first time Cen Kexuan has shown the unicorn jade, and he always feels as if there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him behind him, and he has an irrepressible apprehension, as if he has done a great loss.
The monk saw Cen Kexuan's cautious appearance, but he was not moved, only glanced at the jade pendant lightly, and pushed it back to Cen Kexuan.
"How?" She said nervously, "Do you know where he is?" ”
The monk shook his head, his face remained the same, and he did not speak.
Cen Kexuan frowned: "What do you mean?" I'm the only token I have, and if I want to ask him about his birthday, then I don't know. She was young at the time, and she didn't know when her brother was born, even if her mother mentioned it, she would have forgotten it a long time ago.
The monk stood silently in place, looking at her quietly, as if thinking about something, and his eyes were quite strange. After a long time, it wasn't until Cen Kexuan's patience had almost dissipated that he seemed to come back to his senses, and said calmly: "The opportunity for the girl to find this person is far away in the sky and close at hand. ”
"What?" Cen Kexuan almost jumped up, pulled him over and said incredulously: "You make it clear." Originally, she was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but she didn't expect to get such an answer, and her originally peaceful heart fluctuated in an instant, and it was difficult to calm down.
The monk thought that he had never been so close to a woman, so he retreated slightly uncomfortably, folded his hands, half-closed his eyes and bowed, and said, "That's all the poor monk says." The girl must have escaped today, and the poor monk can leave with confidence. After finishing speaking, he left Cen Kexuan, who was stunned, and walked out of the courtyard slowly.
Far away, close at hand. What does that mean?
Cen Kexuan lay on the table and looked at the candlestick in front of her, the candle flame was clearly extinguished, reflected on her calm face, but there was no thought in her mind. She couldn't understand what this monk meant by "far away in the sky, close in front of you". I closed my eyes and recounted the scene from beginning to end, but I still didn't understand the point. What exactly is this "immediacy"? Does it mean the entire Golden Scale Inn? What does the so-called "opportunity" mean? Could it be that some of the people who have come and gone in recent days have been in contact with my brother and even know his whereabouts?
If my brother is really in this inn, how can she not see her coming and going in recent days? Unless her brother deliberately denies her. Also, if there was anyone in this inn who knew his brother's whereabouts, who would that person be? The people she has come into contact with in recent days are none other than the shopkeeper Erzhuma, Yahuan Doulan, Bai Jingfeng, plus Bai Moyin, who she has just met, so few people.
Will any of them know the whereabouts of the elder brother or even have contact with the elder brother? The shopkeeper, Cen Kexuan had already gone to probe before, and he also made it clear that he had never heard of Cen Zifei being this person, unless he lied, this person could be ruled out temporarily. Thinking about it carefully, Cen Kexuan did not reveal his identity before, and that kid from Zhuma really didn't have the need to lie to her.
Doulan is her own maid, what she doesn't know. And Bai Jingfeng's words, no matter what, are not easy to get along with, if he can pay attention to her, thank God, what useful news can he be expected to give?
And then there was Bai Moyin. Bai Moyin, when it comes to this person, she inevitably becomes overwhelmed. Bai Moyin has a special identity, a great reputation, and a wide range of knowledge, it is indeed very likely that he has come into contact with more people, could it be that he and his brother know each other? Since even Shulan seems to know him very well, this is not impossible. But how do you talk to him? It is definitely not possible to ask directly, since he will eventually steal the Evil Yan Sword and turn his face with the Bai family, at this moment, he must not let them know too much about himself, so as not to invite trouble in the future.
However, if you want to quietly inquire about a person's news from Bai Moyin, and not be aware of the reason for this, is it possible to act on your own?
What to do?
With a "bang", a figure suddenly broke through the door, and the loud sound dispersed Cen Kexuan's frozen thoughts. The man who entered the door straightened up, still carrying a roast chicken in his hand, and a thick bandage was wrapped around his arm, which spread to his chest, it was the young man who had been seriously injured in the afternoon, and his eyebrows were sharp, and he couldn't see that he was handsome.
Cen Kexuan smiled secretly in his heart: Walking is not smooth, but he can still buy roast chicken, he is really a master who can enjoy life.
"Ah, sorry, I went to the wrong door." The man was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. Cen Kexuan smiled: "The interest is good." The young man looked at the roast chicken in his hand, swallowed his saliva and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, and now I'm hungry." Then he turned to leave.
Last night?
"Wait-" Cen Kexuan got up and called out to him, looked him up and down, and suddenly said, "There was a thief in the courtyard last night, isn't it your accomplice?" ”
"How is that possible?" The young man said disdainfully, "I've always been alone, and the dragon can't see the end of the head-" Probably suddenly remembering his tragic situation the day before yesterday, the kid closed his mouth in embarrassment in the middle of speaking, and said in a different tone: "Anyway, I never partner with anyone." ”
Cen Kexuan muttered, "That's weird. ”
"What's the blame? Dart delivery, bet on nature is the best, who doesn't want to go to a piece or two, if it weren't for my injury......" he muttered, thinking that he was very quiet, but it was all passed to Cen Kexuan's ears, Cen Kexuan immediately said unhappily: "If you dare to try my things again?" She raised her fist and said, "Better be honest." The corner of the young man's mouth crooked, he snorted lightly, and was about to leave with the roast chicken.
Cen Kexuan suddenly shouted, "Hey, what's your name?" ”
"Me?" The young man looked left and right, and finally waved his hand impatiently, "Xiao Wu." ”
