Chapter 47: Discovery
"The third master's face is not good, but what happened?" Aunt Ci was sensitive, and when she saw Xie Yu's expression was different, she intuitively felt that something was wrong, and asked while raising her feet to go inside.
Xilai took a step to the right with a cold face, still standing in front of her.
Yun Lai also stretched out his hand to stop her, shaking his head without hesitation.
Aunt Ci was stunned, wondering what he wanted to say, but the doubts in her heart were even heavier.
"Third master, what are you doing here?" She forced a smile.
Xie Yu frowned, raised his hand, and said, "Xilai, Yunlai, retreat." ”
Xilai and Yunlai glanced at each other, but obediently stepped aside.
"That's a good boy!" Aunt Ci breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, smiled slightly, and said to Xie Yu: "Third master, the little guy you trained is really not bad, this little brother with a bow on his back, spare me, and I was also scared by him!" ”
Xie Yu glanced at Xilai, who was standing beside him with his head down, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
Aunt Ci had slowly walked up the steps and said with a smile: "Why don't you see Miss?" Haven't you woken up yet? ”
Xie Yu stopped in front of her silently.
"Third Master?" Aunt Ci was surprised.
Xie Yu said in a deep voice: "I was about to talk to my sister about this matter, but I just asked my sister not to be afraid after hearing it, let alone make a noise at will." ”
His sister frightened Aunt Ci, she hurriedly took a step back, waved her hand and said: "The third master has something to say directly, just please don't say such polite words again, it's really a torment." ”
Xie Yu had no intention of saying more to her about such a trivial matter, so he simply said: "I really don't dare to hide it, Ah Zhen is gone." ”
"It's not a big deal...... What, what? Aunt Ci didn't react to what he said, but subconsciously comforted, and after reacting, her eyes suddenly widened, and she said in surprise: "No, it's gone?" How did it come to be gone? Have you been looking for it? ”
Xie Yu nodded and said: "I'm already looking for it, and now I'm going to explain the truth to my sister, I want to ask my sister to take care of Ah Zhen in front of the fourth aunt, the fourth aunt is now weak and can't stand the fright, you can help us hide it for the time being, and when I find Ah Hao, I will take Ah Zhen to Mulan Xiaozhu to ask the fourth aunt for guilt." ”
Aunt Ci was already frightened, so many exquisite thoughts on weekdays, but now she couldn't turn around at all, she only felt dizzy, naturally Xie Yu did what she said.
She nodded hurriedly and said: "For the sake of Madame's body, I can't care so much, I'll hide it for you for the time being, but you must move faster, Madame, I'm afraid I won't be hiding it soon." ”
Xie Yu bowed his head and told Nan'er to stay and talk to her for a while, while he took Xilai and Yunlai out of the courtyard.
Nan'er comforted her aunt with kind words, and said a few words with her, until her expression was calm and no longer panicked, and then sent her out of the courtyard.
Aunt Ci said goodbye to her, and replied to Mulan Xiaozhu without mentioning it.
Xie Yujing went to the garden.
He stroked his chin and stood in front of the lotus pond. The lotus flowers in the pond have long been gone, and now they look at it, and their eyes are full of gloom.
It was here yesterday that he picked up Azhen's hairpin.
He later asked Ah Zhen why the hairpin fell to the edge of the lotus pond?
Ah Zhen shook her head and told him at the time, "I don't know why the hairpin fell there, I guess I accidentally rubbed it off when I helped the fourth sister out, right?" ”
If others listen to this, they will definitely think it is ridiculous and question it - the hairpin on the head has fallen off, but you don't know, is it because it has grown feet?
But the person who heard this was Xie Yu, and Xie Yu would never doubt Xie Zhen's words.
In the final analysis, the hairpin will fall, Ah Zhen will disappear and the attack on the fourth sister yesterday is inseparable.
Who exactly? Who dares to commit murder in Xie Mansion?
If you find the murderer, will you be able to find Ah Zhen?
Xie Yu narrowed his eyes.
Didn't you say you were going to find Miss Six? What's the matter standing here now? Yun Lai, who was following him, didn't know what he was thinking, but he thought that there was something strange in the pool that attracted him to watch endlessly, so he came up with some curiosity, and also followed Xie Yu's example, holding his chin with his hand, and frowning at the lotus pond.
This look really made him see the strangeness in it.
"Huh?" He couldn't help but say, as soon as he spoke, he felt his master's cold gaze sweep over, and he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and shook his head vigorously: I didn't say anything just now!
"Out of breath." Xie Yu snorted lightly.
is willing to scold him, it can be seen that he has no intention of driving him away! Yunlai was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to point to the pool, as if offering a treasure.
The corners of Xie Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and his face turned a little colder.
"Mmmmmm Yunlai jumped to his feet in a hurry.
Seeing that he didn't look like he was messing around, Xie Yu frowned, and his eyes fell on the place where his finger was pointing.
The scenery in the lotus pond is gone, but the water is crystal clear.
A pink peach blossom lies quietly at the bottom of the pool.
How can there be peach blossoms here? Xie Yu frowned, took a step back, and called in a deep voice, "Xilai." ”
Xilai understood, quickly put down the bow he was carrying and the quiver he was carrying, stepped forward, and a fierce man plunged into the pool.
The water splashed, and the head and face were drenched on Yunlai, who was still standing by the pool.
Your uncle's! Yunlai jumped back sharply, reached out and wiped a handful of water on his face, looking at the figure in the water and grinding his teeth in anger.
There was a "bang", and Xilai's movements were as light as a fish jumping on the water.
"Young Master!" He raised one hand in the air, and a rare smile appeared on his usually cold face.
Xie Yu smiled and bowed slightly.
Xilai stretched out his other hand to climb the edge of the pool, and with a little force, his body flew into the air and flipped ashore as lightly as a swallow.
At this time, if the people in the house see his movements, they are afraid that their eyes will stare off! Who would have thought that the little guy next to Xie Sanye would also be able to do martial arts?
What a show! When who wouldn't? Yunlai pursed his lips.
Xilai stood in front of Xie Yu wet, hanging his head, and offering what he had just fished out of the pool with both hands.
Xie Yu saw clearly that it was not a pink peach blossom, but a pink peach blossom-style hairpin.
It was a hairpin before, and now it is a hairpin...... How has he been picking up all these things in the past two days? Xie Yu was a little speechless.
"Third Master!" There are female voices from far and near.
Xie Yu turned around and saw Nan'er running over panting.
What's wrong? He frowned slightly, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, "Is it that Ah Hao is back?" ”
Nan'er held her waist, gasping for breath and nodding vigorously.
"Really?" Xie Yu's eyes lit up, and he raised his feet and walked towards Xie Hao's courtyard.
Nan'er eased up at this time, and hurriedly caught up with him and said, "Third master, Miss is not in the yard now." ”
Xie Yu's footsteps paused.
Nan'er hurriedly said: "Not long after I sent my sister Ci away, someone sent me to Changxi Courtyard, saying that the old lady wanted to retry the fourth lady's injury and asked me to confront her. At that time, I only thought that the disappearance of the young lady would not be able to hide it, so I pulled the sister who came to send the message to inquire about it, and then I learned that the young lady was also in the Changxi Courtyard. ”
Is Vera in Changxi Courtyard? Was it called by my grandmother? Why is it that Grandmother is suddenly going to revisit yesterday's events again? Don't embarrass Ah Zhen again, right? Xie Yu felt uneasy, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Changxi Courtyard.
Xilai and Yunlai hurriedly followed.
Xie Yu stopped, turned to them and said, "You don't have to follow me, go back to the courtyard and change your clothes!" ”
Although Xilai and Yunlai were unwilling, they also knew that it would be unseemly for them to go to Changxi Courtyard in a wet state now, so they nodded obediently and stayed.
It's just that, what to do with this hairpin? Xilai was a little embarrassed to hold the hairpin, and the young master asked him to pick it up, but he didn't say what to do with it......
He was in trouble, but suddenly a hand reached out next to him and snatched the hairpin from his hand.
"What do you do?" Heelai glared.
"Mmmmmm Yunlai carefully hid the hairpin in his shirt and looked at him with a grin - it's useless for you to take it anyway, why don't you give it to me!
Xilai snorted lightly, picked up the bow and arrow from the ground, still carried it on his back, and turned to leave.
