Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Eccentric Maiden
For some reason, Wu Ge's mind immediately appeared Ji Sheng's smiling face.
The Fira Stone is full of natural treasures, if it falls into his hands, then Wuge and the others will have no chance of winning at all.
can only wait for death in the Linglong array.
"Koko, if you think about it carefully, did you really not see a small green stone when you helped me sort out my clothes?" Wuge asked anxiously.
"Not really. Seeing that Wuge was anxious, Kou Ko tried to help Wuge clear her thoughts: "Holy Maiden, calm down and think about where you went before you came back, when was the last time you saw the stone." β
Wuge knocked his drowsy head.
She listened to what Ji Sheng said in the Xuanji Hall today, and then she... Fell asleep.
She has no memory of what happened after that, but was the filigar on her at that time?
She clearly remembered that she placed the fibrine in her arms when she went out, and then she was hit when she walked to the Qiankun Palace...
Wu Ge stood up suddenly: "It's the maid!"
She hurriedly put on her shoes and socks, pushed open the door and walked out.
Today she bumped into the maid, and the blood in the copper basin spilled all over her, and she had to go back to the temple to change her clothes again.
And when she changed her clothes, she was in too much hurry and ignored the fibrine stone, at that time she faintly felt that something was not right, but she didn't pay much attention to it, now that she thinks about it, the fibrine stone has disappeared at that time.
"Holy Maiden, you wait for me. Kou Ko couldn't keep up with Wuge's hurried pace.
"Don't go, wait for Mo Xing Dye here, and no matter who asks, you just say that I fell asleep in the house, don't say that I went out, and don't say that I lost something, don't mention it. Wuge said a few words, and left the Holy Grace Hall without looking back.
ββββ
As on that day, as soon as the night came, the huge palace was like a ghost, except for the flickering palace lights, not even a single figure could be seen.
Wuge walked quickly to the front of the Qiankun Palace, and she squatted in a bush in front of the hall to observe.
The inky black door was still closed, and there was not even a single palace lamp in front of the hall, as if this was a deserted palace that no one cared for.
And a few steps away from other halls, even at night, the glazed tiles still shine with crystal clear light, which is very beautiful.
Wuge really couldn't remember what it was like to bump into her maid today, she only remembered that the maid was in a hurry, and she didn't even say a word of apology.
But the maid did come out of the Qiankun Palace, so it seems that she can only ask the others in the hall about the whereabouts of the maid.
Wuge's figure flashed, and he rushed to the door in three steps and two steps, and knocked lightly: "Is there anyone?"
For a long time, no one responded.
I don't think there's anyone living in this temple...
"Knock knock. Wuge increased his strength and knocked a few more times: "Is there anyone, I have something important to discuss, open the door!"
After a few breaths, there was a noise behind the door: "Who?" was a woman's voice, and she was a little wary when she heard it.
"Well, I'm... I was sent by the national teacher. Wuge didn't dare to say her identity, she was afraid of startling the snake.
Who knew that the woman behind the door heard the words but said angrily: "No, get out!"
I didn't expect Ji Sheng, who was loved by the wind and rain, to be so unflattering in this Qiankun Palace, and his intestines were green without remorse.
She hurriedly changed her words: "I, I was sent to deliver medicine." β
Today, the copper basin in the maid's hand was full of blood, thinking that something must have happened to someone in this hall.
'Squeak', the ink door opened a crack, and a girl poked out from behind the door, looking ordinary and not very old.
She looked Wuge up and down: "Is it so good to wear it now to send a medicine?" she said, sneering and preparing to close the door again.
Wuge gritted her teeth secretly, why is this little girl so smart, she went out too quickly just now, and she was still wearing today's red dress.
She hurriedly propped up the door and sneered, "I'm really sorry, girl, I want to ask you about someone." β
The girl was young, short, and unbeatable in strength, and immediately shouted indignantly: "If you don't leave, I'll shout!
Wuge was startled, and couldn't help but free up her other hand to cover her mouth, and the little girl was startled by her violent movements and took a step back.
Wuge grabbed the girl's retreat and immediately dodged into the door...
At this point, she was leaning her back against the door, gasping for air.
The hall was very dim, and there seemed to be a smell of decay mixed with a faint smell of medicine.
The girl in front of her crossed her arms and looked at her for a long time: "Say, who sent you?"
The posture seemed to be that of a judge in the court, and her immature face had a seriousness that did not match her age.
"Girl, I'm not a bad person, and I have no choice but to make this decision. β
The girl raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "But I see that you are so good-looking, and you don't look like a good person at all." β
What kind of logic is this, Wuge laughed dumbly.
Her eyes glanced into the hall behind the girl, but the room was so dark that she could only see an empty ground behind the girl, and she couldn't see anything else.
"I'm here because I lost something when I passed by the gate of the Qiankun Hall today. "No song is straight and straightforward.
"And then?" the girl pouted impatiently.
"It's a maid-like person, she came out of your Qiankun Palace, hit me, and then my things are gone. β
The girl plucked out her ears: "What about the evidence?"
Evidence? Where did she look for evidence?
Wuge was speechless by the girl, she stared at the girl's nonchalant appearance and was a little angry: "This thing is very important, if it is gone, something difficult will happen to deal with." β
"Oh. β
Just when Wuge was not lightly affected by this slippery girlishness, a rapid coughing sound came from the darkness of the hall.
"Ahem... Ahemβ" An old voice coughed a little heartbreakingly.
The girl panicked: "Grandpa, are you okay?" β
She hurried toward the temple.
Wuge was stunned for a moment, and followed her over.
The further inside, the stronger the smell of decay, and Wuge followed the girl into the inner room.
There were three or four small stoves in the house, on which were placed medicine jars, and one of them was simmering with a decoction.
"Grandpa, I'll pour you medicine, don't worry. β
The curtain of the bed covered the person on the bed, and the man was still coughing, as if he was going to cough out his heart and lungs.
The girl anxiously wanted to bring the jar of medicine, her little hand was a little trembling, Wuge frowned, stepped forward to take the jar of medicine in her hand, and poured the medicine into the bowl neatly.
"Wow. He handed the medicine bowl to the girl.
The girl's eyes softened a little when she looked at Wuge, and as soon as she opened the bed curtain, Wuge's stomach turned upside down.
The smell was so bad that something was rotten.
Wuge couldn't help but look curiously at the bed, the girl was helping an old man to get up, the old man was wrapped in a quilt tightly, and only one head was exposed.
He was in his twilight years, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as woodcuts, and some white foam gushed from the corners of his mouth, which he thought was caused by the cough just now.
The girl carefully handed the medicine bowl to the old man's mouth, and the old man raised his hand tremblingly, holding the medicine bowl and drinking the medicine in small sips, during which he still couldn't stop coughing.
Wu Ge noticed that although the old man described Xiao Suo, there was something extraordinary between his eyebrows, like the old Wu head in the fibrine stone, although his eyes were cloudy, but his eyes could reveal coercion.
After a bowl of medicine, the old man's cough eased a little, and he noticed Wuge not far away, and a pair of cloudy eyes glanced at her.
Wuge bowed respectfully, which was the least respect for the elderly.
"Ahem. . . Ahem, Qing'er, is this?" he spoke, with some difficulty.
The girl scratched her head: "This is the person who came to deliver the medicine, she came a little late today." β
Seeing that she lied without blinking her eyes, Wuge secretly felt funny, this little girl was weird and tight.
After the girl helped the old man lie down, she walked to Wuge's side and took off her chin and pointed at the outside of the house, Wuge understood that this was signaling her to go out.
Walking outside, the girl still said in a slick tone: "This is what you're looking for." As he spoke, he took out a small green stone from his bosom, and Wu Ge looked at it fixedly, it was the Fia stone.
Just as she was about to get it, the girl's little hand reversed and clenched the small stone: "Tell me first, who are you?"
Wuge let out a long sigh, thinking about when she was so upset by a little ghost: "My name is Wuge, and now I am the unlucky saintess of your Crowned Moon Country, okay?"
"Holy Maiden?" the girl wondered, "Haven't you always been a holy son?"
"How do I know. Wuge took advantage of her inattention and prying the fibrine stone from her hand.
If you look closely, there is a faint green light swimming in the stone, and it is true that it is a Fibrine stone.
"Where did you get this stone?" Wuge looked suspiciously at the frowning girl in front of him.
"Picked it up. She spread her hands: "I picked it up at the door today, it looks beautiful, take it back and play with it." β
The ghost only believed it, and Wuge still looked at her suspiciously.
Although it was slippery, she was still a child after all, and in the face of Wuge's questioning eyes, she sighed: "Hey, okay, the person who hit you today was me, but I didn't mean to, and I couldn't go out anymore..."
The hall was desolate and tight, Wuge looked around, and she couldn't even find a place to sit, she could only stand, with her hands on her hips: "How can you kid pickpocket other people's things?"
Since this small stone inexplicably recognized her as the master, she had become accustomed to carrying it with her, and today she found that the stone was gone, and her heart was unprecedentedly panicked.
Maybe it's reciprocity.
"It's just a good deal, who knew that you were poorer than me, and you wore gold and silver, and you only had a broken stone on your body. The girl in turn was disdainful.
Wuge was choked, and at this time, there was a coughing sound in the house, and the girl frowned and gave an eviction order.
"Let's go, I've got my stuff back to you, and I'm going to sleep." β
So saying, he hurried into the house.
"Wait. The ghost of no song grabbed her by the gods: "Your grandfather, it doesn't matter, right?"
The girl paused and bit her lower lip: "What's your business, don't be nosy." β
Although she was so strong-mouthed, Wuge saw it clearly, she cared about her grandfather very much.
And the situation of the old man... It is also not optimistic.
"I thought, I might be able to try.." Wuge looked at the stubborn face of the little girl, and touched a soft place in her heart.
Hearing this, the girl looked at her hesitantly: "You mean, you can save my grandfather?"
Wuge didn't nod or shake his head.
She didn't know, she was still a little sure if Mo Xing was dyed, but if she just wanted to save people by relying on the rare medicine in the fibula stone, I was afraid that it would be a little difficult, and it would take a lot of time just to consult the classics.
"I, I..."
Just as Wuge was thinking about what to say to the girl, there was a knock on the heavy wooden door.
