Li Tao had a deep understanding of her stubbornness, and he didn't say much at the moment, and went back to Zuichun Building alone. He first went to the stove room to find a pot of wine, drank the cold food, and then went back to the room. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and one person followed, but it was Li Bai.

"Did you find anything?"

Li Bai held up a pill in his hand and shook it in front of Li Tao's eyes.

"What?"

Li Bai handed the medicine to Li Tao: "This is what I found in Chengyu's building, do you think it's poison?" ”

Li Tao held the pill, leaned under his nose and sniffed Yan, shook his head and said, "No." Show Hua Langzhong tomorrow, he is an expert. ”

Li Bai was slightly disappointed: "Since Cheng Yulou died, his room has been empty, and the relics are all there, and they are neatly packed. I found the pill in a drawer, stole one, and thought he had been poisoned. ”

After Li Bai left, Li Tao quickly brewed a pot of Babao chrysanthemum tea, hid it in his arms, sneakily went downstairs, and came out of the back door.

By this time, the people in the garden had dispersed, and only the garden was full of flowers and plants. The laurel trees stand out from the crowd, with small pale white flowers hanging on the branches, and the slightest fragrance stops in the air, stagnating, and when they arrive, it seems that everything has become nothing.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and out of the tree came an old man with gray hair, who was the old servant who had been watering the garden just now.

"Tao Gongzi." He winced in a greeting and walked back. In addition to tending to the flowers and plants, he was also responsible for guarding the back door, and near the back door of the garden, there was a hut where he lived.

Li Tao asked, "Uncle, do you recognize me?" ”

"It's good for Childe to call me Lao He." He didn't stop at his feet. Turning his head and grinning at Li Tao, "I listened to a few guys talk about you, and look at the talent." Presumably so. ”

Li Tao watched him go into the hut, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it turned out that the topic of the guys talking about the world would be himself.

The doors and windows of Cheng Jiao's small building are closed, and the heavy curtains are hanging low, Li Tao knows that she is shy by nature, but blocking the curtains in broad daylight still makes people feel inappropriate.

Li Tao knocked on the door. No one answered. He gave a gentle push, but did not latch, and dodged in. Called: "Miss Cheng." ”

After waiting for a while, there was still no response, Li Tao didn't think much about it, and walked upstairs.

The upstairs is furnished like most girls' boudoirs. Simple and elegant. Separated by a chic moon door, the outer room houses a dressing table, wardrobe and bookshelves, while the inner room has only one bed. Li Tao saw through the bead curtain and vaguely saw a person standing in front of the bed, like an old monk in a fixed place, not moving at all.

Li Tao entered her boudoir without Cheng Jiao's permission, which was already very presumptuous, the world behind the bead curtain. It's impossible to go. He stopped far away, looked at the back behind the curtain and smiled: "Have you thought about facing the wall? ”

Cheng Jiao still didn't move. I don't answer.

Li Tao smiled dryly: "What about your heart? ”

The shadow behind the curtain was like a piece of wood, and it didn't snort.

"She's going to be fine, right?" At this time, Li Tao couldn't hold his breath, and jumped over with an arrow step, and he was about to open the bead curtain and take a look.

Just as his fingers touched the curtain beads, the person inside suddenly turned around and swung a sharp axe, slashing him in the chest. The accident was sudden, Li Tao didn't have time to make any resistance, he only instinctively leaned back, and then heard a "pop", and the teapot hidden in his arms was chopped to pieces, the fragments pierced the skin, and his chest was red in an instant.

In the colorful falling beads, there is a hideous and terrifying face, which is full of scars and miserable.

Li Tao broke out of the window and landed on the grass outside the building, waiting for him. But after waiting for a long time, the man did not come out like a ghost who could not see the light.

The people in front were alarmed by the sound, and they rushed into the garden one after another, surrounding Li Tao to inquire about the reason. Wu Bingdao: "Master Tao, did you fight with our young lady?" ”

stammered: "Hu ...... Nonsense! Our Miss...... At...... In ......, he also seemed to find it difficult to speak, and raised his hand and pointed ahead. Everyone looked and saw that Cheng Jiao was coming quickly.

Li Tao stared at the window upstairs without blinking, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I accidentally fell." ”

He was afraid that telling the truth would cause panic among everyone, and if it spread, it would even affect the business of Zuichun Building.

Cheng Jiao understood his good intentions and drove everyone away: "There's nothing to see, let's go back." ”

When everyone dispersed, Li Tao unbuttoned his shirt, pulled out a few pieces of teapot fragments nailed into the flesh, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the teapot brother to break my bones for me, we would have been separated by yin and yang now." ”

Cheng Jiao stared at the broken window and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Tao said: "Follow your Miss Yun's instructions, prepare eight treasures of chrysanthemum tea and wait for you, who knows that what is sent is not tea, but fate!" A guy who is not human, a ghost is standing behind the curtain, I thought it was you, so I didn't watch out, but when I got closer, he suddenly gave me an axe, alas, it's a pity a good pot of tea! ”

Seeing that he was just a skin injury, Cheng Jiao's heart was relieved and asked, "Is he gone?" ”

Li Tao shook his head and said, "I didn't see him come out, maybe he was still inside." ”

Cheng Jiao brushed out his long sword: "You are guarding here, I'll go in and find him." ”

Without waiting for Li Tao to agree, she was on tiptoe and floated into the attic like a light cloud.

Li Tao was willing to let her take the risk alone, and shouted: "Wait! Then followed.

The sun is abundant in the afternoon, but through the curtains, there is very little left. The two of them went upstairs cautiously, and every step seemed to be thrilling. However, the upstairs was empty, almost suffocatingly quiet, only the curtain beads scattered all over the ground proved that Li Tao was not lying.

The two of them both sighed, Cheng Jiao returned the sword to the sheath, opened the curtains in front and back, the sun shone in, and the gloomy and oppressive feeling immediately disappeared.

Li Tao said: "If you hadn't lowered the curtains and the light in the building was dim, I wouldn't have thought him was you." ”

Cheng Jiao said lightly: "I'm not a lonely ghost, what are you doing with the curtains in broad daylight?" ”

Li Tao was stunned, and said suspiciously: "If it's not you, it can only be him, is it really a ghost who can't see the light?" ”

Thinking of that disgusting face, Li Tao still had palpitations.

"The person he wants to kill is me, but you broke in first, and you made you suffer for me." Cheng Jiao said unapologetically, soaked a towel in the basin of water, and handed it to Li Tao, "Wipe the wound clean, I'll find some Jinchuang medicine and help you put it on." ”

Li Tao was in deep thought, ignoring her words.

Cheng Jiao sighed, put the towel on his shoulder, and said, "I think it's better to forget it, this case is already full of weirdness, and if we continue to investigate, I'm afraid that we will both encounter accidents." ”

Li Tao's pupils contracted, he took a deep breath, and said firmly: "Whether it's a human or a ghost, I can't let him continue to harm people, and now I have to take care of it." ”

Cheng Jiao's eyelashes flickered, and she didn't know what to think, so she said faintly: "You are not Zhong Kui." ”

Li Tao said with a smile: "Ghosts are afraid of wicked people, I may not be inferior to Zhong Kui." (To be continued......)
