Chapter 249: Confusion
Shangyuan Lantern Festival, ten miles of lanterns, nine clouds reflect clearly, visitors from all directions, seven steps to gather, within the Liuhe, colorful streamers, a family from all over the world, three lives are lucky, two people travel together, a piece of harmony.
Lin'an is full of lights and crowds, highlighting the joy of the festival. At this time, a slender figure walked into everyone's eyes, the robe of the silver embroiderer, the jade belt paper fan, and the beautiful appearance between Gu Pan, revealing a faint look of amazement.
Zhu Xishi, who was dressed as a noble son, was quite lonely standing in the crowd. The strangers who passed by Bibi had an unconcealable joy on their faces, and her loneliness seemed out of place on such a day of universal celebration.
Buried deep in the bustle, looking for your own peace of mind. But Zhu's former identity, like the gradually revealed stone at the bottom of the river, was exposed in front of people, and the strange things that followed pressed her tense nerves, and she couldn't breathe her peace freely.
When will there be dust?
Zhu Xishi, who lost his mind, didn't notice that the crowd had suddenly intensified, and he still stood in the middle of the ten-mile long street; The crowd in the rush seemed to be attracted by something, and rushed in one direction. Zhu used to be like a fish going upstream, impacted by the crowd, the man pretended to be a daughter, and he couldn't withstand the bumps and bumps when he avoided it, and his heels were unstable and he was planted on the ground.
A small piece of skin rubbed off the palm of his hand, and the pain made Zhu Xishi frown. The endless crowd seemed to have a tacit understanding, and automatically walked three inches away from Zhu Xishi, and she stroked her broken palm and was surrounded by this small circle, and the feeling of helplessness was even more rampant.
Probably this indifference is too worrying. Suddenly touched Zhu Xishi's sincere and frightened heart, and the crystal light shone in pieces; And she just lowered her head and clenched her palms, and stood up from the ground unrelentingly. Straightened out his dusty clothes and blended in with the crowd of people coming and going again
When the two men, Gong Yihan and Zhao Zhenyuan, slammed into Gu Miaoqing's eyes, a sharp contrast between their demeanor and temperament suddenly formed, but this discordant scene condensed a strange tacit understanding, and asked Gu Miaoqing in unison.
"Is the hour there? (Is the hour there?) )”
This is exactly the same speed and tone, and at the same time, it also caused the two to look sideways, and it was difficult to distinguish who was high or low.
"Sister Xiao is resting in her room, what's the matter?"
Wait in front of him with the gods of the left and right doors. Gu Miaoqing felt that this was a bit too much. And the two of them carefully interrogated Gu Miaoqing's attitude was still suspicious, and they always felt that she was perfunctory.
Zhao Zhenyuan, who couldn't bear a lot of speculation, said one step at a time.
"Can you let us meet her? Just make sure she's okay. ”
Gu Miaoqing is not a fool. I couldn't hear Zhao Zhenyuan's questioning, so I could only smile awkwardly out of etiquette.
"I can't do this, you should know the temper of the young sister."
"Miao Miao girl, please forgive me for the abruptness. However, we were really worried about what happened last night, so we rushed to the door this time to see if the hour was safe and sound. Let's discuss the next steps. ”
If it doesn't work, Gong Yihan will soften. Everyone likes to listen to soft words. Seeing that Gong Yihan was full of human feelings, Gu Miaoqing also responded with embarrassment.
"Sister Xiao has been in a trance all day today, and she is stuffy in the room without dinner, and we can't do anything about her. I don't mean to hinder you more, but I'm afraid that it won't help you if you go."
"It's better to try it than everyone else worrying, don't you say?!"
Moving with emotion and knowing reason, full of local care, it really made Gu Miaoqing unable to say no.
"Alright. I will lead you there. But I can't guarantee if Sister Xiao will see it or not. ”
"There's a wonderful girl."
With a sigh, Gu Miaoqing turned around and led them towards the backyard. Gong Yihan glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan, who was pale, and wiped past him without saying a word, followed Gu Miaoqing closely.
Laughing helplessly, Zhao Zhenyuan also moved his steps, but his steps seemed extremely restrained. Compared with Gong Yihan, if he is a death row prisoner who has committed a heinous crime, he has no right to interrogate everything Zhu Xishi.
"Sister Xiao, Brother Gong has come to see you."
The three of them stood in front of Zhu Xishi's boudoir, Gu Miaoqing called softly, but there was no sound in the dark room, sinking like stagnant water.
"Did Sister Xiao sleep?"
Raising her voice again, Gu Miaoqing's hand gently knocked on the door twice, but there was still no response in the room at the time of Zhu Xishi, and Gu Miaoqing's face became uneasy.
"Hours, are you there?"
The room was too quiet, silently revealing strangeness, Gong Yihan, who had a solemn face, stepped forward, and knocked on Zhu Xishi's door again under inquiry, not wanting the door to "creak" and open a crack, and the top of the brain shook and everyone woke up like a dream!
"Sister Xiao!!"
Gu Miaoqing, who realized that something was wrong, rushed straight into Zhu Xishi's boudoir along the gap in the hidden door, and looked inside and out but didn't see half a figure, and her heart was suddenly caught.
"No one! Why don't you see anyone in a good way?! ”
Gong Yihan and Zhao Zhenyuan, who followed after hearing the voice, also looked nervously at the dark environment around them, and the bleak and cold atmosphere in the empty room silently told that the master was not there, and the tension in their hearts suddenly rose by a degree.
"Miaomiao girl, borrow the fire excerpt for a while."
After all, the light was too dim to be observed, Gong Yihan borrowed a fire from Gu Miaoqing and immediately lit the oil lamp in Zhu Xishi's boudoir, and the sudden light suddenly made the empty room uncovered.
Zhu Xishi's room was not very spacious, and he could see the layout of the room at a glance, and once again confirmed that Zhu Xishi was not in the room, obviously Gu Miaoqing's panic was further amplified.
"How is that possible! I also came to visit Sister Xiao before dinner, and she was still in the room at that time; But after a while, the person disappeared?! Could it be?"
Last night's incident was a lesson from the past, and Zhu Xishi disappeared in the boudoir at this time, Gu Miaoqing naturally worried about that.
"Impossible." Following Gu Miaoqing's worries, Zhao Zhenyuan suddenly denied categorically: "Her room is neatly arranged. There was no mess, not like someone had sneaked in. ”
"Indeed, there was no trace of a fight in the room. Presumably he left the hospital when everyone was negligent. ”
ruled out the worst possibility, Gu Miaoqing's heart eased a lot, but the worry on her face still lingered for a long time.
She slipped out without saying a word, where would she go at this time?! It's really urgent. ”
Being anxious does not help to solve the problem, Gong Yihan under the orange light lowered his chin and meditated on what was happening at the moment, his face was calm and calm; After a moment, his clear eyes lifted. Then he opened his mouth and said a possibility.
"Could it be that you went to the Lantern Festival alone?"
"Yes, today is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, didn't Miss Miaomiao say that she was in a bad mood before? I must have gone for a walk on the street! ”
A word to wake up the dreamer. Zhao Zhenyuan couldn't hide his excitement and said a word of support, and seemed to have settled down a lot; But looking at Gong Yihan at this time, the worry on his face has not faded much.
"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice. Although I guessed where the hour was, the danger was still not over. You must know that at this time I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark. She rushed out into the street and was unguarded. It's easy to be taken advantage of and have to find her before something happens. ”
"Brother Gong's analysis is extremely reasonable, so I'll go and tell everyone in the hospital and ask them to help find Sister Xiao on the street!"
"Wonderful girl, never." flashed to the door very quickly, and Gong Yihan immediately stopped Gu Miaoqing, who was about to go out: "Doctor Sheng, they don't know martial arts, and acting rashly will only get them into danger." The matter of looking for the hour will be left to me and the third brother, Miss Miaomiao, hello is guarding in the hospital, and if we come back halfway through the hour, we can ventilate in time. ”
"But"
"The situation is urgent. Please take care of the overall situation. Besides, it's hard to say whether someone is secretly monitoring every move in the infirmary; If it alarms everyone. It will only make the matter seem more passive, and the hour will be a little more dangerous. ”
Gu Miaoqing, who has always acted by temperament, was also impressed by Gong Yihan's fine analysis at this time, and restrained her impatience.
"Okay, I'll leave it to the medical center; Sister Xiao's safety has the eldest brother of Lao Gong and the prince, so you must be safe. ”
"Definitely. An hour later, no matter what the outcome was, we met in the hospital. ”
After finalizing the countermeasures, the three of them each glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and went their separate ways
Looking at the endless stream of people on the street, Zhao Zhenyuan, who was in a hurry, suddenly had a sense of confusion about looking for a needle in a haystack.
Where will you be in the past, and will you come out? Following the prayer in my heart to go farther away, the movable head only adds to the anxiety in my heart.
The sea of people is vast, and the chance of a chance encounter is too small, and unconsciously my eyes are moistened in the panic search.
Wenjun is in the river, Ziya is in the river, and he plays an idiom.
Under the lantern shining with colorful light, a pair of people are looking up at the riddle on a plum lantern, and the boss smiles at Wanyan Yaoxi, who is deeply puzzled, and unconsciously reveals a smug smile.
"Looks like Childe can't guess."
The Central Plains culture is broad and profound, this is the first time he and Liang Suer have visited the Yuan Lantern Festival in Lin'an, so naturally they know very little about this "guessing lantern riddles". glanced back at the boss embarrassedly, thinking that Liang Su'er would laugh, but he didn't want to make a joke.
"I'm sorry boss, I really can't guess your riddle. Can this plum lantern be sold? ”
Hearing that there was a sale coming to the door, the boss smiled even more, and hurriedly opened his hand and happily returned the price.
"Since Childe likes me, I don't ask for much price, and you can take this lantern for two taels of silver."
"Who said we were going to buy this lantern? We didn't say that we couldn't solve your riddle. ”
Liang Su'er, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stretched out her hand to stop it, and stopped Wanyan Yaoxi, who was taking the silver. The boss saw that the soon-to-be-completed business was stirred up by this woman, and his face was also displeased.
"Tell me, what is the mystery? If you guess correctly, I will give this plum lantern to the two of you. ”
It seems that she is just a woman raised in the boudoir, and she knows a few big characters, and the boss is still full of confidence in his riddles, and then opened a sea port.
And Liang Su'er just relaxed the melancholy between her eyebrows, turned to smile faintly at the boss, and then spoke softly.
"Selling fame and reputation, the boss is right?!" (To be continued......)
