126 Cipher (2nd Update)
"By the way, Grandma, has no one really been in all these years?"
Grandma shook her head and said, "No, none of the people who went in came back alive, distinguished guest, don't be curious and want to take a look!" There was once a distinguished guest who died in it out of curiosity..."
Su Qing quietly took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms, "Grandma, you can take this bit of silver to buy more good things for the little girl to eat, it is the time to grow her body, and it should be replenished!" ”
Grandma looked at the ten taels of silver, and then looked at Su Qing, not knowing what to say.
"Grandma, can you tell me what's going on?" Su Qing asked tentatively.
"You... You're here to inquire about the news, right? ”
Su Qing shook his head: "I'm just curious, I've been very fond of this kind of anecdote since I was a child, and my father has collected a lot of stories for me, I've seen stories like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and I'm even more curious about this kind of mysterious and mysterious thing!" ”
Although Grandma is a countryman, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is too famous after all, and she has also heard it, this is an absurd and strange book.
She looked at Su Qing and said with a smile: "It's rare that your parents don't care, aren't big families not allowed to watch it?" ”
Su Qing coughed: "Grandma, you think too much, although our family background is good, but parents still don't care what books we read, what you are talking about is the child of the official eunuch!" They weren't allowed to read such books, but we merchants didn't care. ”
The Buddha statue was unintentional, but in fact, Su Qing deliberately revealed that they were businessmen, and Grandma was relieved when she heard that they were businessmen. Although she is a countryman, she is still on guard against these nobles who appear every now and then.
She could see that the nobles who had come and gone to the village were all noble, either rich or noble, even high-ranking officials and nobles.
Grandma didn't dare to say anything to them, if she couldn't figure out her own life and her little granddaughter's life, it would be gone!
But in front of her was the girl's family, and she was a businessman, so she had no scruples: "Honorable guest, you don't know, since our forest has become a real lost forest, there have always been high-ranking officials and nobles. They all said that they had come to worship the great immortals. Don't look at us as countrymen, but they are full of authority, and those with long eyes can see it, and then they will stay here for two or three days. I went out every day for two or three days. But on the fourth day, the people are gone..."
……
Su Qing's face was gloomy. Looking at Mo Xu and Mu Yuchen sitting opposite, the two of them were trying to hold back their laughter.
The reason is that when Su Qing was inquiring about the news just now, the two of them eavesdropped on the roof. Peeked, when the grandmother said it, Su Qing really made a very interested look, she simply sat on the clay kang, and then listened while eating sunflower seeds.
Especially her expression at that time, anyone who saw it would feel that she definitely listened to it as a story, and she really asked again and again because she was curious!
However, thanks to Su Qing's superb acting skills, Grandma told everything she knew, which also allowed everyone to get a lot of useful information.
Mu Yuchen coughed and said, "Actually, Su Gongzi is the biggest hero, and he should award you a Best Male and Female Costume Award!" ”
Su Qing was furious, slapped the table and got up: "Mu Gongzi, do you want to fight too?" ”
Mu Yuchen hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, no, Miss Su, your brother and I really can't beat you!" ”
After saying that, he and Mo Xu held their stomachs and laughed, Su Qing's eyes narrowed, and with a slight sweep of his feet, the stool that was still under his buttocks disappeared, and the two of them popped and sat on the ground, with a smile on their faces, and it took a while to come back to their senses.
"Su Qing, I didn't say anything!" Mo Xu said he was innocent.
Su Qing said indifferently, "Yes, you didn't say it, but you made this suggestion, and you dare to laugh now!" ”
Mu Yuchen muttered in a low voice: "You don't like to laugh yourself, but you have to care about others, and you can't laugh." ”
Then he got up, and as soon as he stood up, Su Qing came to his side, then grabbed his arm, twisted it back, and then raised his foot to Mu Yuchen's waist, Mu Yuchen screamed miserably, and begged for mercy again and again.
Su Qing stopped at this time, "Generally, people disappear on the fourth day, what do you think of the situation?" ”
After Mo Xu and Mu Yuchen sat down, they said, "Someone should have taken them to their destination." ”
Su Qing nodded, "I think so too." At that time, I asked Grandma why they said that the disappearance of the girl was a ghost of the great immortal in the Lost Forest, and why it was said that it was a great immortal, and Grandma also said that when those nobles came in the past, they would say that they came to pay homage to the great immortal of the Lost Forest, but no one had ever seen them go to worship near the Lost Forest. It seems that going to the Lost Forest to pay homage to the Great Immortal is a code. ”
At this time, Tiancheng seemed to have something to say, but he always wanted to say and stopped, Su Qing was puzzled, Tiancheng has always been an impulsive character, although he has changed a lot now, but he can't be so calm, like this, it's really not like his character!
Tianxiao also found out, "Tiancheng, what's wrong with you?" If you have something, you can say it! ”
Tiancheng thought for a while and said, "Young Master, my subordinates will ask you for their guilt first," he knelt down on one knee as he spoke, "The young master once said that it is strictly forbidden for us to read some books about assassination and the like, but my subordinates secretly read them, and they also read all six volumes..."
Su Qing frowned, and was about to get angry, she didn't let them read it, because she was worried that they would be affected by the book, after all, they came out of the killer organization back then, and the killers did assassination work, if you read this kind of book again, it is inevitable that you will not be impressed.
Mo Xu could see that Su Qing was angry, and hurriedly said, "Su Qing, listen to Tiancheng first!" ”
Su Qing listened to Mo Xu's persuasion, took a deep breath, and nodded for Tiancheng to continue.
"After reading all six volumes, my subordinates found a very strange thing, which had not been explained before, and now I finally understood that the six-volume assassination series of books was circulated from the organization."
"Why?" Su Qing, Mo Xu, and Mu Yuchen asked in unison.
"Because there is such a sentence in every volume, those who do not know, find the lost forest, and those who have the fate with it, four days will be confused."
After listening to Tiancheng's words, Su Qing and the others suddenly became enlightened, no wonder they had never heard of it, these people had the intention to kill people but they knew, because they wanted to die alone, but when they were incapable, they would think of finding someone else to help, but there was no way, so they would want to read a book about assassination and the like, and then see this sentence.
They are all powerful people, and it is not difficult to inquire about a lost forest, it is easy to find this place, and then let others know that they are here to find the Great Immortal.
They showed up for three days to let people know that it was him, and the province recognized the wrong person... (To be continued.) )
