Chapter 17: Small Talk
As soon as Su Musha's question came out, even Deng Lingyun couldn't help but prick up his ears, you must know that the orders of the helper are usually directly conveyed to the ears of the helm master, how can a small fish and shrimp like himself have the opportunity to know on weekdays.
Yang Ying's tone was mixed with a hint of imperceptible awe: "The helper is clear, the clear is self-purifying, we just act as usual, don't conflict with others, so as not to fall into the hands of others." β
When Su Musha heard this, his eyes narrowed: it didn't sound like an aunt's style at all. What's more, the Xiaoxiao Gang blindly dodges and retreats, which will only make people feel empty-hearted.
She said solemnly, "Since Auntie has an order, I won't add more beaks," she looked at Yang Ying, "Lord Yang, Uncle Worm and I have something to do here, and we need to borrow some manpower from the helmsman." β
Unexpectedly, this topic was removed so lightly, the thunder was loud and the rain was small.
Yang Ying replied in a deep voice: "I don't know what Miss needs manpower to do?" β
Su Mu said with a smile: "Do you need to report to Lord Yang Helm for something?" She said this, smiling even more, "Why don't you tell me what you give them permission to do?" β
Yang Ying's face stiffened, and he replied, "The subordinates don't dare," he hesitated slightly, and said bluntly, "Without the order of the helper, the subordinates can't do manpower transfers at will." β
Su Musha smiled: "Really?" Then Uncle Worm and I want to find a place to live for a few days, and Lord Yang Helm may be in charge of this matter? β
Yang Ying was half relieved, and added a touch of contempt to her heart: in the end, she was a little girl, her name was not right, and she was weak without saying a word. It's just that why doesn't the Dharma Protector speak?
He didn't dare to take it lightly, and replied thoughtfully: "Of course, of course." The subordinate will order the guest room to be tied," he added, looking at the bookworm's face, "and buy some more servants to serve the two." β
"No need," Su Musha waved his hand, "The more low-key our whereabouts are, the better," she said casually, pointing at Deng Lingyun, "I think you are very capable, would you like to help us a few times?" β
Deng Lingyun replied without thinking: "The subordinates are willing," and then he looked at the Yang helmsman, and said, "The helmsman, the subordinates are ......."
Yang Ying snorted from his throat: "Thank you for your appreciation." You have to do your best to do your best for the young lady, don't mess up. β
"Yes."
The promise was loud. Yang Ying glanced at Deng Lingyun, but he didn't say a word, and finally held the helmsman's shelf.
"Trouble Uncle Deng to go to the 'Homecoming Inn', send a congratulatory gift to the owner of the Dark Village in the name of the Gangli, and then exchange it for a token of entering the village."
Yang Ying heard some clues and asked, "Miss is going to celebrate her birthday?" Does the helper have any intention of befriending the dark village? β
The rudder has been established for many years, and it has already gained a firm foothold in Rongzhou, even if the gang leader intends to make friends with fellow martial artists in Rongzhou, he should also use guΓ² as a local snake, rather than relying on a little girl from outside.
"Lord Yang, I won't hide the favor I want Uncle Deng to help you, and I can't get past you. But you still don't inquire about other things," Su Mushao's lips pursed a slight smile, and he blinked slowly, "I'm young and good at clichΓ©s, in case I say something that shouldn't be said, you can't pretend that you don't hear it." β
When Yang Deng and the others heard this, their old faces turned red, and they said in their hearts: If you don't talk a lot, let's do things with your head down.
The two old foxes didn't ask any more, but it was not because of Su Musha's beating in a few words, but because they knew that Su Wan'er didn't like his subordinates who were too talkative the most.
In the final analysis, the only thing they really taboo about is Su Wan'er.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The rudder backyard is very simple and elegant, the layout is broad and atmospheric, a majestic camphor tree in the courtyard, there are two people hugging the thick, the crown is thick and the shade is thick, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant. There are stone tables and stone piers under the tree for people to rest and enjoy the shade.
Su Musha put two fingers into the urn with a small mouth and a big belly on the table, pinched out three or five insects casually, and looked at them in front of him, the white emperor lay on the stone table, arching and arching around the pottery urn, and several times he wanted to climb up along the urn wall, but he was slapped by Su Musha's merciless palm.
"Xiaobai, you are obedient, when I finish picking, I will give you all the crooked melons and cracked dates that I didn't pick."
Su Musha picked out a few poisonous insects as he spoke, put them in the palm of his hand smeared with poison avoidance, and let them crawl around, while throwing the rest to the White Emperor.
Coldly, a voice sounded:
"What are you doing?"
Su Musha raised his eyes that were about to fight cocks and looked at the comer: "Is it a worm?" I'm picking bugs. β
The bookworm looked puzzled, he stared at Su Musha for a while, and then said, "...... Time Signaling Gu? β
"No, no," Su Musha shook his head, "I'm going to raise a new Gu and want to pick some Gu seeds," she said and raised her palm, "It has to be cheerful, who am I picking to climb fast and well." β
In the jade-like palm, there were a few soft insects, covered with tiny tentacles visible to the naked eye, and several insects twisted and crawled quickly, and those tentacles were wriggling and moving in the crawl.
The bookworm's scalp tingled and he looked away.
This kind of insect is used to curling and wriggling, how can it be that one by one it crawls so fast as if it has been beaten with chicken blood? And it's just a matter of climbing fast, what does it mean to climb well?
ββ¦β¦ Pick slowly. β
The bookworm was about to pull away after saying a few words, and it seemed that he was just passing by the backyard.
"Uncle worm, Uncle worm, don't leave yet, I still have something to ask you," Su Musha called repeatedly, and after the bookworm sat down, he said, "Let's talk, it's idle anyway." β
"What are you talking about?"
The bookworm didn't tell her, and he was about to go to find a topographic map of the Dark Village Jungle in the helm so that he could study the retreat route, just because he was a little curious about what Su Musha wanted to talk to him about.
"You know about the medicine garden...... Do you know that my former maid died in the medicine garden...... Her name is Xiuhua, and half a year ago, the Xu family took charge and carried her into my cousin's room to be my aunt......"
Su Musha told about her conflicts with Xu, her past with embroidery paintings, and even her suspicions about Dongmei.
ββ¦β¦ I asked a friend to inquire about Dongmei's background, and then I learned that she was also missing, and on the day she found the body of the embroidered painting, her family was also gone, I don't know if it was moved away or ...... Uncle Worm, who do you think did this, and whose person is Dongmei? β
The destruction of the Holy Lingzhi is related to the life of General Zhennan and the future of the Xiaoxiao Gang, and the people involved in this matter are the people around Su Musha, she can't convince herself with the word "coincidence", let alone keep it in the dark, the bookworm is the protector of the gang, how can he know much more than herself, you might as well ask.
"Why don't you tell the helper about this?"
"I'm afraid that my aunt will directly order Dongmei to be tied up and tortured," Su Musha recalled Su Wan'er's indifferent tone when she mentioned the embroidery painting, and felt that her silence at that time was the right choice, "Auntie's temper would rather kill by mistake than let go, let alone Dongmei, even if it is me, if there is a trace of suspicion in her eyes, she will be directly pulled down and tortured...... You, do you want to write again? β
Su Musha said as she spoke, seeing the bookworm take out some things from the cloth bag she was carrying, a bamboo cone pen sharpened from bamboo, and a shallow cloud note, she was used to this phenomenon.
How little does Uncle Worm like to talk, in other words, how much he likes to write?
The bookworm wrote in ink with a bamboo cone, and wrote a sentence in an instant: 'I have seen the corpse of your maid, and the wreckage on her neck is ordinary at first glance, but the intersection is in the front of her neck, not the back of her neck. After writing this sentence, he pointed to his Adam's apple with a bamboo cone: "It's in this position." β
In the front of the neck is not in the back of the neck?
Su Musha pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "You mean, the person who killed the embroidery painting did not sneak attack from behind, but came face to face with her, could it be that person knows the embroidery painting and is her companion?" No," she thought of something, and added, "if it was her companion who killed her, she could leave her body anywhere, and it wouldn't be left in the medicine garden." β
The bookworm's answer is presented word by word on the paper, thanks to the fact that he uses a bamboo cone pen with a sharp end, which is good on the paper, if it is a soft brush, where can he write so quickly:
The person who destroyed the Holy Lingzhi should be the murderer of the embroidery painting, but the reason for killing her was not necessarily because she was extinguished, maybe it was just because she saw something that she shouldn't see. β
What is it that should not be seen?
According to Su Musha and Su Wan'er's speculation, the person who destroyed the Holy Lingzhi was the one who poisoned General Zhennan, if the other party even thought of the latter move of destroying the Holy Lingzhi, then the Cang Soul Bead was probably also in his plan.
Thinking of this, Su Musha became nervous, I am afraid that this trip will not be so peaceful, maybe the other party is also waiting for the opportunity of "birthday congratulations".
