Chapter 269: Exploring the Valley at Night 2
Xu Shaolin chatted with Shopkeeper Qi about the little girl's condition again, and now that he was talking about it, he asked about the origin of the disease.
The shopkeeper Qi thought about it, and finally said: "That year, my little girl was playing in front of the door, just at the door, and we didn't care too much about letting one more person look at her, but as a result, in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared." ”
Xu Shaolin frowned, he hadn't heard of this: "Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" ”
"Eh, it's all my own family's business, and I don't want to bother the valley master more."
"How did the child come back?"
Shopkeeper Qi looked outside and said, "We asked the hidden pile to help find it for a few days, but there was no clue to even the hidden pile, so we had to wait, until ten days later, when we were about to open for business, the man said that the child was lying at the door." ”
Later, when the shopkeeper heard the sound, he carried his daughter into the house, and checked her pulse, and found that there was nothing wrong with the child except that he was a little weak, so he let go of his heart.
In the afternoon of the same day, the child woke up, and the shopkeeper Qi asked her what had happened in the past ten days, the child just shook his head woodenly, didn't remember anything and didn't say anything, and the shopkeeper Qi thought that he was afraid that the child was frightened, so he didn't ask more.
The next day, the child developed a high fever, and since then he has fallen into a strange illness, and the shopkeeper himself is a doctor and can't see the reason.
After hearing this, Xu Shaolin couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, although the dark pile in Jicheng is not as good as the dark pile in the capital, but compared to the dark pile in other cities, the ability and ability are also superior, and even they have not traced the clues to such strange things, which can only show that this matter is unusual.
Nan Ke heard the ins and outs of the matter, but what he thought of was another thing, Nan Ke estimated the age of the little girl of the Qi family, and then looked at Xu Shaolin.
Xu Shaolin looked at him: "What do you want to say?" ”
"Valley master, the second master did an incident in the bamboo forest of the valley a few years ago, and saved a group of children, who were about the same age as Miss Qi back then..."
Nan Ke's words reminded Xu Shaolin: "What about the symptoms? ”
Nan Ke said: "Those children were rescued in time, except for the weakness of the body, but they will feel a stomachache, and nothing else, but Yiyi, I remember when the fourth girl detoxified Yiyi, she said that Yiyi had a small red dot on her hand." ”
Nan Ke didn't look at Xu Shaolin, and when he saw Xu Shaolin nodding to show that he understood, he quietly stepped aside.
Xu Shaolin turned to ask Mrs. Qi about what the child looked like when she first came back.
Mrs. Qi recalled it well and said: "Speaking of the little red dot, we seem to have seen it on the little girl, but not on the hand, but on the shoulder. ”
"Is there still one?" Xu Shaolin asked.
Shopkeeper Qi shook his head: "It's gone, about forty days after I come back, the red dot will be gone." ”
"Hmm." Xu Shaolin nodded, said a few words to Shopkeeper Qi, and asked about the black market.
"Since you are more familiar with the black market than we are, there is something that needs to be done for me."
"But please ask the lord of the valley to command." The shopkeeper arched his hand.
Xu Shaolin motioned to the shopkeeper Qi to go outside the house, and then the two went out of the house.
Standing in the courtyard, Xu Shaolin said: "Tomorrow I will also go to the black market." ”
Shopkeeper Qi looked at Xu Shaolin with a little doubt: "I don't know what the valley master wants to buy?" ”
Xu Shaolin waved his hand: "I want to make a deal, you spread the news for me, just say that I have two jade girls in my hands, don't sell them, just exchange them, if you are interested, you can get together tomorrow." ”
Shopkeeper Qi's eyes rolled, half understood, nodded in response, and the half that he didn't understand was fine.
The two said a few words, and Xu Shaolin took Nan Ke away when he left.
Along the way, Nan Ke seemed to have been thinking about something, and Xu Shaolin asked him, "What do you think?" ”
Nan Ke said: "My subordinates always feel that there is something wrong with the shopkeeper Qi, but I can't say it. ”
Xu Shaolin chuckled: "Don't worry, such a person, just guard against it." ”
"Yes."
When he returned to the palace courtyard, he heard that Zong Yue and Baili Mo were still guarding in Youlan's courtyard, so he also followed Nan Ke over.
The three of them had a brief exchange, and Fang knew that not long ago, Gu Qingyan came back to see Youlan, and was taken back to Qingluan Courtyard by Han Yan to rest.
"Well, this girl is tired all day, it's time to take a good rest." Xu Shaolin said with a smile.
Then he told him what he had discovered that night, including the shopkeeper Qi.
Holly and they won't come back tonight, they stayed in the grass hut on the mountain to fish, they killed the three Xuanye killers who were in the grass hut, and then they disguised themselves into those people, waiting for the people above to come.
After hearing the situation of the Qi shopkeeper's house, Zong Yue couldn't help frowning, and looked at Youlan's situation again, not to mention, such a pair, Youlan's current situation is really a little similar to the little girl of the Qi family, the difference may be that the little girl of the Qi family shows mild symptoms, and Youlan's is more serious.
"I took this medicine from Lao Qi, maybe you can give it a try." Xu Shaolin said, motioning for Nan Ke to take out the medicine bag.
Zong Yue didn't take the medicine directly, but glanced at Baili Mo, who had been silent, and nodded after seeing Bai Limo sigh deeply, Zong Yue asked Nan Ke to go down to decoct the medicine.
"Do you want to let Yan'er come and have a look again?" Bailimo said in a deep voice.
Xu Shaolin glanced at it lightly and shook his head: "Now that you and I have a plan in our hearts, don't let her come here again, it's cold at night, don't catch the wind." ”
"Hmm." Bai Limo responded, "It's not early, you should go and rest early." ”
"What about you?" Zong Yue asked.
Baili Mo got up and walked to Youlan's bed: "I looked at her." ”
Xu Shaolin and Zong Yue glanced at each other and didn't say anything.
"By the way, what are you going to do about the Xuanye Clan?" Bai Limo took advantage of the fact that the two of them had not left and asked.
Xu Shaolin's face was serious, he was really worried about this matter, the affairs of the Xuanye Clan would involve the friendship between the two countries anyway, and that was a place that they couldn't touch, but now that several things were mixed, he had to think of a foolproof solution.
"Let me think about it, this matter must be communicated with King Yu."
Zong Yue also opened his mouth and said, "But what do you need to do from my family?" ”
Xu Shaolin shook his head: "There is an east fence in the capital now, and the head of the sect can't be allowed to come forward unless it is absolutely necessary." ”
Zong Yue understood, so he said that he was going back to study the prescription, and Xu Shaolin also left together, leaving only Baili Mo and Youlan in the room.
Youlan, who laughs and scolds extremely vividly on weekdays, is the most beautiful person in Yuhualou.
She is more flamboyant than the moon shadow, a little more charming than the moon shadow, more charming than other girls, she is good at dancing and musical instruments, she is not very interested in poetry, calligraphy, chess and painting, if it is not for the unswerving staring of Tanxue, she is afraid that until now, her painting skills are not as good as the children who draw with branches on the side of the road.
At the same time, she is also the one who can take the most responsibility, protecting her sisters and suppressing those guests with bad intentions.
Because of this, Bailimo has always valued her.
"Maybe it's because you're used to staying in the building, I always thought you were safer than anyone else."
Bailimo muttered to himself.
The shadow guards on the third floor and the outer three floors of the Yuhua Building are guarded, and there are also him, Xidu, and so on, which is a solid city, and no one can make waves.
This sense of security has now become a place of negligence for him.
He blamed himself here, Gu Qingyan almost had the same feelings as him in the room.
Han Yan accompanied Gu Qingyan and talked for a while, and seeing that she was still sleepy, he knew that she was still worried about Youlan in her heart.
"The third brother is now, just like being frozen by someone, he has too much self-blame, guilt and even confusion in his heart, eh..."
Gu Qingyan sighed, she originally wanted to chat with Baili Mo for a while, so as to soothe her mood.
But Han Yan persuaded her, whatever she said at this time, Baili Mo might not be able to listen to it, Gu Qingyan also tried, and when she saw that this was the case, she came back with Han Yan.
"He still doesn't fully understand his friendship in his heart, so it's still hazy, but don't worry too much, your third brother is afraid that he is already prepared to cut Chu Heng with a thousand knives."
Gu Qingyan looked at Han Yan with a smile, and her little finger poked lightly on Han Yan's chest: "When did you have a heart-to-heart with the third brother?" ”
Han Yan grabbed Gu Qing's cigarette head with one hand and held her fingers with the other: "Little girl, you have the same mind, but you don't use it like this." ”
Gu Qingyan raised her eyebrows, her eyes were sly, and she didn't know what to think in her little head.
Seeing this, Han Yan simply closed his hand, put Gu Qingyan's face close to him, and lowered his head to kiss him.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, Gu Qingyan noticed it, turned her head to look, and avoided the kiss.
"Who?"
"Master." Beiming's voice came from the door, with two light coughs, and he always felt as if he had done something inappropriate.
Gu Qingyan escaped from Han Yan's embrace, separated from him for a distance, and tidied up his clothes, which allowed Beiming to enter the house.
Han Yan's face was as usual, looking at Gu Qingyan, whose ears were slightly red, he was in a good mood, and leisurely picked up a book on the table and looked at it slowly.
Gu Qingyan glared at Han Yan secretly, and turned to talk to Beiming.
"What?"
Beiming Yuguang looked at the two of them, lowered his head slightly and replied: "The valley master is back, and after going to see Miss Lan, he went back to the room with the second master." ”
Gu Qingyan nodded and asked, "How is the third brother?" ”
"The third master accompanies Miss Lan."
Gu Qingyan glanced at Han Yan, saw Han Yan nodding at her, and sighed slightly.
"Is there any news from Xidu? Chu Heng is still in Cuiwei Building? ”
Beiming nodded, indicating that the main thing he came over was to talk about this matter.
A quarter of an hour ago, they received news from the secret pile, saying that Chu Heng had met the two sisters in Cuiwei Building, and from their conversation, it had been confirmed that the two sisters were the person in charge of this double studio.
Chu Heng had exchanged letters with them several times before, probably asking them to gather all the forces of the Shuangyinglou hidden in the southeast first, in order to wait for the king of Yijun to take the throne in the capital, and use their secret forces to help the king of Yijun contain King Yu here.
"There's a lot going on here." Han Yan looked at Gu Qingyan, who was frowning.
"Shuangyinglou is Situ Haoyang's minion, which shows that Situ Haoyang's chess game is very big."
Gu Qingyan muttered.
Han Yan put down the book in his hand: "His goal is to restore the country." ”
Gu Qingyan raised his head, there was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at Han Yan, and under a layer of worry, there was a chill.
