Chapter 168: The Ninth Sister eloped, Chen Mo was very annoyed
In fact, there was nothing serious, but it was the statue of the White Jade Guanyin, which reminded Chen Mo again, and reminded him of the paper full of numbers that Zhao Pengcheng had shown him at the beginning. According to Siqi, the numbers written on the paper are the same as those written on the parchment hidden in the white jade Guanyin, and the two have studied it and know that it is a password, which should correspond to a certain book, but because some of the numbers in it are too big, they have not found the corresponding book, so they have been shelved and have never been able to solve the secret.
However, when he saw Apricot's Bible that day, he felt that something had been missed, and later learned that if those numbers really corresponded to a certain book, the thickness and page numbers of the Bible were very appropriate.
Now that he thinks about it again, of course he has to hurry up and verify it.
When I arrived at the back street of Yuexian Tower, it was already noon, and that Young Master Li was still noon, but Xi Xiaolei was still serving those pigeons as he had done that day, and he was really a little obsessed.
He didn't hear Chen Mo enter the door, and Chen Mo didn't bother him, he went directly into the room that Xing'er gave him, and when he looked for the Bible, he was surprised and secretly wondered: "Didn't you still come that day?" Why is it suddenly gone? Could it be that Xing'er went to Yuexian Tower? ”
Sighing unlucky, the sleepiness that had just been swept away again, went out and went to the Yuexian Tower, and the old man saw that the corner door that was tightly closed on weekdays was wide open. Chen Mo was secretly strange, when he entered the door, he saw a turtle sitting on the stairs of Li Jiumei's embroidery building with a sad face. It's as if something has happened.
"Boy, what's wrong?" Chen Mo stepped forward and asked the young turtle father.
"Ugh. It's Master Chen, are you here to find Miss Nine? It's not a coincidence. Nine girls are out......"
"Out of the house?" Chen Mo saw that the turtle man's eyes flickered, and he was suspicious, so he hurriedly asked again, "Where is Xing'er?" Aren't the apricots there? ”
"She, she also followed the nine girls ......"
"Gone? Where did it go? Chen Mo saw that the turtle man's expression was wrong, and he felt more and more that something was wrong, thinking, grabbed the man's neck, pressed him against the wall, and asked viciously, "Say." What the hell is going on? Dare to bluff Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu strangled you? ”
"The old man spares his life, the old man spares his life, and my mother won't let me say it, the little one ......"
"You're afraid of purple smoke, aren't you afraid of our family?" Chen Mo's heart was beating faster, and he became more and more impatient.
"Afraid, afraid, afraid...... The little one said. The little one said, master, you let go of the small one first......" Chen Mo was murderous, and the turtle man's face turned pale with fright. I stuttered a little when I spoke.
Chen Mo saw that he was shocked by himself, so he let go of his hand, but his tone did not slow down. Still Senran: "Don't fuck nonsense, hurry up!" ”
"That's what happened." The turtle took a few breaths and looked around. Only then did he say, "Mom won't let anyone tell me, little one...... Don't worry, sir, that's the case, Miss Xing'er got up this morning and found that the ninth girl was gone, and she didn't care at first, but then she left a note, saying something sorry for her, let her take care of herself, and so on, then I knew that something was wrong, and guessed that she must have eloped with the bastard surnamed Li. At that time, my mother also came over, and when she saw the note, she stabbed the hornet's nest and asked the shopkeeper to bring a number of people to chase after her, saying that she had caught it and cleaned it ......up."
The cash cow eloped with someone without a sound, no wonder Ziyan was in a hurry.
"Li Jiumei, Li Jiumei, what kind of ecstasy did that surnamed Li give you? How can you say that elopement is really elopement? Thinking of Xing'er's comment about that "Young Master Li", Chen Mo was angry and regretful, and hurriedly interrupted the turtle prince and asked, "Do you know where they went?" ”
"How do you know if you're small!" Gui Gong shrank his head, and when Chen Mo was disappointed, he suddenly said again: "By the way, I heard my mother say that the family surnamed Li is a big salt merchant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and if you go home, it is most convenient to take the Grand Canal, and the apricot girl and the shopkeeper go to Tongzhou directly...... Hey, sir, where are you going? Mom is here, why don't you ask her again? ”
Chen Mo had no intention of listening to him anymore, went out to get on the horse, went straight to Chen's mansion, entered the door and threw the reins of the horse to a small fireman who came up, and without saying much, he went to find the iron bull and asked him to quickly prepare the hot air balloon.
"Overseer, what's wrong?" Tie Niu instructed his men to prepare, and asked Chen Mo angrily. He had never seen Chen Mo's face so ugly, thinking that something big had happened.
"Don't ask, you kid, hurry down and prepare...... It's time to test you again, you can get to Tongzhou in half an hour, and our family will reward each other with five taels of silver. ”
The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, listening to Chen Mo's promise, just got the new number of the Feitian Battalion A team of several people as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, stepping on the blower like a hot wheel, the work is not big, the balloon is bulging, with the thick Huo Huo core being ignited, the flame is steaming, and soon, the rope connecting the hanging basket is stretched straight, and when Chen Mo goes up, before he can sit firmly, the hot air balloon slowly leaves the ground and slowly climbs into the blue sky.
Tongzhou is actually not far from the capital, but from the east of the capital, and this season mostly blows southeast wind, the hot air balloon through several layers of flow, only to finally set the right direction, floating to Tongzhou above, has been more than half an hour.
The hot air balloon hovered on the bustling dock, causing a huge sensation and crowding, but where to find Xing'er and others for a while?
Chen Mo was anxious, and secretly regretted that he hadn't made the telescope earlier, so he could only calm down, lie on the edge of the hanging basket, and search carefully.
"Overseer, are you looking for that girl?"
Tie Niu suddenly spoke, Chen Mo hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, and found that he was not referring to the dock, but a three-masted clipper on the canal, on the side of the ship, a pale pink figure was waving towards this side, although he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but he was sure that it must be an apricot.
"That's right, it's her, Iron Bull, can you find a way to fly over?"
Tie Niu stretched out his hand to probe the direction of the wind and nodded: "Don't worry, the villain will try!" As he spoke, he instructed the person in charge of the fire: "The fire is bigger, and it rises!" ”
With his order, the flames increased, and the hovering hot air balloon slowly rose, and coincidentally, it happened to meet a southeast wind, and slowly floated towards the apricot.
At this moment, the hot air balloon is thirty or forty feet from the ground, and the people below look like ants, but the sound of boiling is still faintly audible. People have never seen such a behemoth flying in the air, and now, the name of the hot air balloon is afraid to become louder and louder.
"Turn off the heat!" Tie Niu suddenly shouted, the person who controlled the fire mouth hurriedly sealed most of the can, and the steaming flame suddenly fell, burning brightly, Chen Mo only felt that the hanging basket under his feet was slowly descending, and if there was a rope holding it invisibly, he slid down to the apricot diagonally.
