1134 Road
- Inside the box is a small jade-colored bottle.
A fine layer of sweat broke out on Mo Ye's forehead.
Cheng Xu saw the sudden change in emotion on Mo Ye's face, and he vaguely expected that she knew what she meant to this object. So he held the box in his hand a little closer to her eyes, so that she could see the contents more clearly.
Although Mo Ye was excited, Cheng Xu's spirit and mind were still very calm and calm, and he was not affected by Mo Ye's emotions in the slightest.
He waited silently for a moment, and saw that Mo Ye's mind was calm for a while, and then he said slowly: "Wu Shu didn't say the reason for giving this to you, as long as I specifically told you, read the letter first and then take the bottle, presumably everything he wants to say is written in the letter."
Mo Ye's pupils moved slightly, and then he noticed that there was a paper with two folds pressed under the bottle in the box. She took a deep breath, suppressed the feelings in her heart, raised her hand and went to get the letter in the box first, but now her hand was already shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Taking out the letterhead, her hand shook uncontrollably, and the letterhead unfolded without a pouch for the envelope, the creases were shallow, and it seemed that the time to write the letter was not far from this time.
……
There are two layers inside and outside the bottle. According to my experience and observation, the welding technique of this double-layer bottle is Liao Shi's specialty. Therefore, there may be strange and poisonous things in it, and when you don't see Liao Shi himself, you'd better not open it lightly.
That's one of the reasons I told you before that no one wants to take this thing and I don't want to give it to you.
When practicing, you can go to the grocery store, and in the process, you can drive away Cheng Xu. The grocery store has a ledger that I left behind, and I sign it every day. Check Cheng Xu for me, don't dare to deceive you.
……
This was the first time Mo Ye had seen Wu's handwriting, and his handwriting was far more handsome than his appearance. There are three sentences in the letter, and each time Mo Ye reads a paragraph, the feelings in his heart are different.
When she read the first paragraph, she had a restless curiosity in her heart, which is also a common mentality of people of her age. The more others tell you not to do things. The more you can't help but give it a try. But when she read the second paragraph, she felt the worry and exhortation from Wu Shu's heart, and the curiosity retreated a little.
And when she read the third paragraph. She was completely moved by Wu Shu's careful care, and her eyes unconsciously became wet.
Looking at the light and heavy strokes on the letter, and the free and easy handwriting in the strokes, Mo Ye remembered that Wu Shu had said that his family was slaughtered by robbers before. It is the home of scholars.
After reading this letter, Mo Ye couldn't help but think in his heart: Maybe it's time to do it now. Wu Shu's identity has changed greatly, but his longing for the heart of a scholar is still preserved before the accident in his family.
Mo Ye suddenly remembered that she had always had a question she wanted to ask Wu Shu. But I never asked in front of him.
The question is: "One day, Wu Shu will no longer have to wear that close-fitting black clothes that look like they grow on his skin, and fly to the wall in the dead of night to carry out special instructions. What will he do then?"
Just when she was a little distracted, she suddenly heard Cheng Xu's voice interspersed.
"You can't believe it like that. Wu Shu's special letter to you is now not only me, but even the little followers around me have seen it."
Mo Ye was slightly stunned when he heard this, he pinched the edge of the letter paper with his hand, and shook it in the air, Cheng Xu, who was standing opposite him, could indeed see the full content of the letter from the opposite side.
Although from his side, the words are all reversed, but for a person like him, even if he writes a few lines in reverse, it should not cause him dyslexia.
Mo Yexun folded the letter a few times and stuffed it into her arms, she looked at Cheng Xu, and now Cheng Xu at this time had already released the cold attitude on his face before, and he looked like he had reached the grocery store owner, and the corners of his mouth were slanted with a smile.
Mo Ye said angrily: "Why are you teasing me, this letter is not sealed, haven't you peeked at it before?"
"Cheng doesn't like to do that." When Cheng Xu said this, he glanced sideways at the green-shirted young man who was standing beside him and was called his little follower, and then said: "But I seem to have been thought of shamelessly."
Facing Cheng Xu's glance, the young man in the green shirt had a disregarded attitude.
Mo Ye remembered what Cheng Xu had done to her that night, and the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a hint of contempt: "You can avoid it just now."
"I thought so, but it was too late." Cheng Xu had an unashamed expression on his face, "I don't want to sue you again, how fast my eyes are."
The expression on the face of the green-shirted young man beside him finally changed slightly at this time, like Mo Ye, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain.
Cheng Xu sighed lightly, not knowing what he was feeling, and then he accepted the joke, and said with a somewhat indifferent expression: "Don't underestimate Wu Shu's thoughts. I'll tell you that this letter has a nickname, called 'Wind Marks', which is soaked in mineral oil, and after leaving a certain sealed environment, any trace can be printed within three hours. Where do I dare to touch it, why should I risk being beaten to death by him when he comes back and peek at these lines."
"Unexpectedly......" Mo Ye almost couldn't hold back, and took out the letter to read it again, "...... So amazing?"
Cheng Xu raised the hand that was hanging freely, made a persuasive motion, and then asked solemnly: "Have you memorized the last nine words of the first paragraph of the letter?"
Mo Ye looked at him and nodded with a straight face.
"Okay, you can take the bottle!"
Cheng Xu handed his hand forward a little more, and when he watched Mo Ye take the bottle in his hand, he then said: "Wu Shu is afraid that I will bully you, so let you leave a sentence after you get the bottle to prove that I have fulfilled it. [,! ] His entrustment. Think about it, don't hurt me at this time, otherwise I'll be miserable when Wu Shu comes back."
The milky white vial is really small, and now Mo Ye's hand bone plate has not fully grown to the limit of an adult, but it can already be completely held in the palm of his hand. Feeling the slightly cool feeling of the bottle, Mo Ye slowly rubbed the bottle in his palm, stared at Cheng Xu a few times at the same time, and suddenly said, "Are you begging me or threatening me?"
"Looks like you're really holding a grudge against me for what happened that night." Cheng Xu smiled indifferently, "That's it, how you want to fiddle with me, whatever you want, I can't afford to wait for you. I've got some business to go back to."
After he said this, he turned his head to look at the young man in green shirt behind him, and stretched out his hand: "Pen."
The young man in the green shirt took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve, poured out a brush from it, and asked while handing it to Cheng Xu, "Fourth Brother Cheng, what did you do at night?"
This was the first time he had spoken in front of Mo Ye, and his voice was slightly hoarse. But it's not hard to hear. And listening to this sentence he couldn't help but say. Obviously curious.
"Of course I won't do anything bad, otherwise your fifth brother would have chopped me up to death." Cheng Xu pretended to reprimand angrily, "It's none of your business. Just ask less."
After training the "little follower", Cheng Xu turned around, he pinched the pen holder in his hand, opened his mouth and bit the end of the pen with his front teeth. Twist it slightly, then flick it twice with the tip of the pen pointing down in the air. Then he handed the brush to Mo Ye's eyes and said, "Write!"
Mo Ye said coldly: "I am not a prisoner you interrogated." Regarding the events of that night, even if Cheng Xu said that she held a grudge, in short, she would not forget it lightly.
Cheng Xu was slightly stunned. He immediately put the pen on with both hands and said, "Please."
Mo Ye took the pen at this time.
She didn't put down her pen immediately, but turned her pen upside down and stared at the tufty pig hair nib. After a glance, I saw that there was no need to dip in ink. The nib of the pen is naturally full of ink.
Mo Ye quickly remembered Cheng Xu's action of twisting the pen shaft just now, and suspected that there was a mystery in the pen holder, and it was at this time that a drop of ink fell out of the pen barrel she had turned upside down.
Mo Ye faintly expected this in his heart, so he leaned back in time to avoid the drop of ink falling on him.
And Cheng Xu, who held his hand as a tabletop and held the box, waited for Mo Ye to leave his handwriting in it, and shrank his hand and said in surprise: "Stop playing."
Looking at the jealousy that flashed on Cheng Xu's face, Mo Ye laughed in his heart, and secretly thought: If you knew today, would you regret what you did that night? But she quickly thought about it again: This Cheng Xu knew that he was shameless to me today, but for Wu Shu's entrustment, he still came to me on time, is this due to his strict discipline, or is it due to the constant friendship with Wu Shu?
What kind of place is Wu Shu's organization?
Mo Ye remained silent on the surface, just stared at it in silence, as if he was pondering the mystery of the pen in his hand.
After a while, she straightened the pen she was holding upside down, no longer subconsciously afraid of Cheng Xu, but took the initiative to step forward. In the box held by Cheng Xu's palm, there was a piece of paper, and Mo Ye pressed down with a pen and wrote four words quickly.
"Mo Chu Yan Reading."
The penmanship was very serious, but he only wrote four words, and Mo Ye returned the pen to Cheng Xu.
At the end, she still explained: "This is a letter given to me by the dean when I was five years old, when I first entered Lizheng College. No one knows about it except the people in the academy and my family there."
Cheng Xu's gaze paused on the four words in the box, and after listening to Mo Ye's explanation, he nodded and didn't ask anything more.
Closing the lid of the box, he handed the box and pen to the young man in green shirt behind him, and then said to Mo Ye: "It's over, I'll send you back."
Mo Ye was slightly stunned and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Don't panic." Realizing that her spirit became vigilant again, Cheng Xu's face softened, "Of course, I will send you back to the shore dock, so that you can continue to watch the grand occasion of the sailing ceremony. This place is surrounded by sandy land that looks like it's almost like it's confusing, so I'll have to get you to a place where I can see people before I can go."
Mo Ye didn't say anything more, just followed Cheng Xu's footsteps and walked in one direction. But she actually had some feelings in her heart, feeling that Cheng Xu, in addition to being extremely opposed to her interfering with Wu Shu, or should it be said that their organizational discipline, his original temperament was indulging and meticulous, especially reflected in the things he took seriously.
Unconsciously, thinking of Wu Shulai again, Mo Ye suddenly wanted to ask Cheng Xu where he was, but when the words came to his lips, she reluctantly swallowed them back. Mo Ye knew very well that Cheng Xu seemed to be disgusted by this, and even if he knew where Wu Shu was now, so what?
And even if he didn't ask Cheng Xu, Mo Ye would probably be able to guess that Wu Shu would only go to one place.
Thinking of this, the more Mo Ye wanted to return to the beach sooner.
Cheng Xu didn't plan to send Mo Ye all the way to the crowd on the coast, but stopped when he could see where the crowd was.
"Alright, I'll get you here." Cheng Xu waved his hand at Mo Ye, suddenly sighed, and said, "You go quickly, maybe you can see Wu Shu on the boat. The gongs and drums are just starting to sound, and if you delay a little longer, you may not be able to squeeze into the front row of the crowd with your small size."
Seeing Cheng Xu's rare mention of Wu Shu in front of her in a calm tone, Mo Ye was slightly stunned, and finally couldn't help asking, "Do you know where he went?" If you know, why don't you come with me to see it? It's a farewell, it won't take much time."
Cheng Xu didn't answer her immediately, he was silent for a moment, and then again. [,! He waved his hand at Mo Ye and said lightly, "Do you know that the superior commander gave me a task in the morning, just to ask me to take him back?" So I'm going to go back to the capital and look for him."
When Mo Ye heard what he said, his mind was confused for a moment, and after a while, his thoughts were clear, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Cheng Xu didn't have the time or mood to wait for her to figure it out, or to chat with her a few more words. As soon as the matter was over, he quickly took the young man in green shirt he brought, turned around and headed towards the east gate of Kyoto.
Mo Ye stood in place, but did not immediately turn around and walk towards the sea, there was a trace of confusion in her thoughts, and at this moment, she vaguely heard the voice of the young man in green shirt.
"Fourth Brother Cheng, I'm not a follower for you, I will definitely be stronger than you in the future." There was some unwillingness in the boy's tone, so his voice was a little loud.
Cheng Xu glanced at the young man beside him when he heard this, and there was a vague smile on his side face.
He stretched out his hands and made a gesture to support the sky, as if he was stretching his waist again, and at the same time heard his voice sigh with emotion: "I feel that I can't live here anymore, and when Wu Shu comes back, I have to find a way to move out of Kyoto to avoid trouble. So, even if you want to be my follower, I guess it's only half a year's chance."
The young man in the green shirt immediately asked in surprise, "Why is this?"
Cheng Xu's answer lowered his voice, but Mo Ye could vaguely see that after listening to Cheng Xu's next explanation, the chaotic and incomprehensible expression on his side face became more and more profound when he looked at Cheng Xu.
When Cheng Xu made a slightly wanton gesture just now, the wide sleeves of his rich man's splendid robe faded to his elbows, revealing a pair of sleeves of the close-fitting black power suit he wore in the brocade robe. When Mo Ye saw this scene, his eyes moved, he didn't stay where he was, and immediately turned around and ran towards the beach
