Chapter 28: Retrieving the Jade Pendant
Ignoring the wizard's killing intent, Tang Chuyao gave him a fierce look.
She doesn't have the time to listen to him talk nonsense here!
Turning around, with a cold snort, she walked towards Gu Manman's boudoir along the road she had come.
She had to find evidence of Manman's disappearance.
The golden 24-hour law is still very practical.
Manman's room, as clean as ever, was the same as when she left last night.
Tang Chuyao walked to Gu Manman's bedside, only to find that the futon was wet.
A teacup was dumped in the corner of the bed, but there was not a drop of water in it.
She distinctly remembered that the tea had been prepared at the head of Manman's bed when she was leaving, in case her mouth was dry at night and she was looking for water.
That's a glass of boiling water!
Tang Chuyao pinched his jaw suspiciously, and his expression became solemn.
She reached out and picked up the futon and weighed it in her hand.
The cloud was so light and soft that if it weren't for the water, it would hardly feel its weight.
Just imagine, after such a cup of boiling water was spilled, how could Manman not make a little movement?
There is also a night watchman in the house, who lives next door, but she didn't find out at all!
In this way, it must have been the same wizard who drugged Manman.
Tang Chuyao thought about it, and stomped on the ground like anger under his feet.
Damn it!
After thinking about it, when she had just fought the wizard, she vaguely saw that his elbow was red, which was clearly a burn mark.
The eyebrows were half condensed, and Tang Chuyao's heart became more and more affirmative.
We need to find the evidence quickly and bring this crook to justice!
"Goo~"
There was a protest sound from his stomach, and Tang Chuyao wrinkled his forehead and touched his shriveled abdomen.
After tossing all morning, she didn't eat breakfast, and she was really hungry!
Subconsciously touched her waist, and after a while, she suddenly came back to her senses.
Oops!
Her space jade pendant is still in Gu Yuanwai's hands!
I originally wanted to go to the space to fill my hunger, but now it has become a dream bubble.
She rubbed her stomach twice and glanced out the door a little helplessly.
"Let's solve the problem of food and clothing first!"
Tang Chuyao tiptoed to the back kitchen, it was already almost noon, and the people roasted by the hot sun were drowsy.
Seeing a few cooks leaning against the door frame, nodding their heads for a while, Tang Chuyao was a little discouraged.
There is no one in this noon chatter!
Just as he was about to give up, he saw a cook leaning against the door frame and leaning to the side, snoring from time to time.
Tang Chuyao suddenly became excited.
After a long time, it turned out to be dozing!
When she went to the kitchen, she carefully searched for a long time, but she didn't find anything.
How can this Gu staff be said to be a big family in the town, why is the kitchen so shabby?
Tang Chuyao was a little puzzled, and finally saw a nest head under a steamer.
She picked up her nest head and frowned.
At this time, if you are wronged, you will be settled!
Nibbling on her nest, she returned to Gu Manman's boudoir and looked towards the wizard's guest room, intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing the wizard lying on the bamboo chair and shaking it every time, Tang Chuyao couldn't help but get angry!
This liar is going to enjoy it?
Manman was gone, and the whole house was anxious like ants on a hot pot, but he was fine, and he even took a leisurely ride to get cold.
Tearing off the nest head in his hand, Tang Chuyao chewed hard.
It seemed that she was chewing on nothing else, just the wizard in front of her.
Helplessly, she began to search little by little following the clues of Gu Manman's disappearance.
It wasn't until night fell that she sat down on the steps in front of Gu Manman's room a little tired.
It's been a day, and I don't know how Manman is now.
She patted her tired little face and stared at her stiffly.
No, she can't rest without finding Manman!
Holding herself on the ground, she struggled to her feet.
But as soon as she straightened up half of her body, her eyes went dark, and a whirling dizziness came to her.
She hurriedly held on to the railing by the steps, and it took a while for the darkness in front of her to fade.
This body has been malnourished for a long time, and she has not eaten much for a day, so she has some low blood sugar.
Helpless, Tang Chuyao reached out and groped in the plain pocket.
As luck would have it, she found a candy that had not been delivered.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly stuffed the candy into her mouth, and the sweet fruity flavor jumped on the tip of her tongue.
After a while, she had some strength.
If it doesn't work like this, she has to get the jade pendant back first!
As for Manman, I believe that she will not be in danger of her life for a while.
After all, the wizard's true purpose has not yet surfaced, and he will not do anything to Manman.
Thinking of this, Tang Chuyao took advantage of the night to touch the room outside the Gu Yuan.
Seeing that the crescent moon had been hung on the willow tops, Tang Chuyao moved his small steps and approached the room outside the Gu Yuan little by little.
The door was open, and the candlelight in the room was still flickering.
Tang Chuyao couldn't help but be stunned, and then attached to the window to observe.
I saw that in the room, the old man outside the Gu staff was in a daze with tears in his eyes on a dilapidated rattle.
From time to time, two lines of turbid tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and when he wiped them indiscriminately, Gu Yuanwai lowered his head and sighed.
"Man'er, mother, I'm sorry for you two! Didn't take good care of our Man'er. ”
As he spoke, Gu Yuanwai's voice became more and more choked, and finally he couldn't cry.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao began to feel some sympathy for the old man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Father's love is like a mountain, not ambiguous at all!
After waiting for a while, Xu was too sad, and Gu Yuanwai half leaned on the bed and fell asleep.
Tang Chuyao was refreshed at this time, turned over, and flashed into the room through the half-open window.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she leaned over, rolled on the ground, and in an instant came to the edge of the bed outside the Gu Yuanwai.
On the bed, Gu Yuanwai's eyes were closed, but his brows were tightly wrinkled, and deep furrows were all over his forehead.
The eyelids that covered his eyes twitched twice from time to time, and he slept very unsteadily.
Xu is candlelight was dazzling, which made Gu Yuanwai a little uncomfortable, and he turned his back to the inside of the bed.
Tang Chuyao was startled, and hurriedly crawled down, hiding out of the line of sight outside the Gu Yuan as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, after the sound of turning over, silence returned to the room.
Tang Chuyao breathed a sigh of relief and got up lightly.
When his gaze was level with the edge of the bed, a familiar shadow fell in Tang Chuyao's eyes.
Isn't the outer half of this Gu member's body pressed by her jade pendant?
Overjoyed, but after a moment's effort, Tang Chuyao frowned a little embarrassed.
The jade pendant was pressed, how did she get it back?
After struggling for a while, Tang Chuyao held his breath, reached out and carefully pinched the corner of the jade pendant, and moved it out little by little.
Seeing that there was still a little bit of jade pendant that could be completely obtained, Tang Chuyao couldn't help but frown.
But as soon as the corners of her mouth were hooked, a large, wrinkled hand suddenly clamped on her white wrist.
"Man'er, where are you? You're coming back! ”
An old, low-pitched male voice full of concern sounded, and Tang Chuyao was stunned for a moment.
She half-raised her wrist, motionless, her heart throbbing in a flash!
Discovered?
With a beat in his heart, Tang Chuyao raised his eyes slightly and looked at the top of his head.
I saw that Gu Yuanwai's eyes were tightly closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly squirming, and there was no sign of waking up.
A false alarm!
Tang Chuyao gently patted his chest with his other hand and exhaled a long breath.
Quickly taking the jade pendant, she retreated from the room with her waist bent.
Walking out of the door only a few dozen meters, before the gate of the courtyard came out, Tang Chuyao was stunned.
Wrong!
She looked around vigilantly, and under the cover of the night, suddenly a few afterimages flashed in mid-air!
Tang Chuyao snorted coldly, and his body moved towards the dark place under the tree in the courtyard.
It's not good, it looks like there's a bad battle tonight!
The shadow that was still obscure just now instantly scattered around Tang Chuyao's body, surrounding her.
"Girl, if you know each other, leave the Gu Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame us for being polite."
A man in black who took the lead was the first to come out of the ranks, his exposed left eye with a deep scar that hurt his eyeball.
The gray false eyeball rolled in his left eye socket, and it was extremely terrifying.
Tang Chuyao's expression was calm, but there was a little chill between his eyebrows.
"What if I don't?"
She raised her eyebrows, her eyes were slightly half-squinted, and the cold light appeared at the bottom of her eyes.
Hearing this, the man in black fiercely lowered the corners of his eyes, and approached Tang Chuyao step by step with a big knife that flashed with cold light.
"Then go die!"
As he spoke, the man in black stomped on the ground with one foot with a knife and jumped up, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground.
When Tang Chuyao raised his eyes, a cold blade glowing with silver light came to him.
Tang Chuyao dodged, and the cold blade cut straight down against her thin body.
"You want me to die? It's not that easy! And he said, Who commanded you to come and kill me? ”
The sharp questioning voice was extremely loud in the silent night sky, and Tang Chuyao was not afraid at all.
In fact, she doesn't say it, she also knows who the person behind it is!
But now if these people don't let them say it themselves, where will she look for evidence!
Hearing this, the man in black looked impatient, and spat angrily: "Less nonsense, suffer death!" ”
As he spoke, he swept towards Tang Chuyao.
The blade sliced through the air, picking up fallen leaves in the courtyard.
His pupils shrank suddenly, Tang Chuyao jumped, and the whole person jumped over the knife face, drawing a beautiful half-arc in mid-air.
Immediately, she propped herself on the ground with one hand and looked down at the corner of her clothes.
The corners of his clothes that hung down were not spared, and a piece was cut off alive.
just cut off the word Chu Yao that her mother embroidered for her.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyao was angry and rushed to the top of his head, and he turned over with his strength.
At this time, there were more and more people in black surrounding her.
During the battle, although she was not injured to the core, she was more or less colored on her body, and many knives were added.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid she won't last long!
The physical fitness of this original owner is so poor that she can't even use one-tenth of her ability in her previous life.
Outnumbered, Tang Chuyao struggled more and more to deal with, and fine sweat oozed from his forehead.
Just when Tang Chuyao was forced into a corner by the man in black and had no way to retreat, the entire courtyard suddenly became as bright as day.
Gu Yuan and a group of family members outside the courtyard surrounded the water leakage.
"Dare to be a thief, dare to come here to make a mistake!"
Gu Yuan was draped in a palm-colored coat and waved his big hand.
The sturdy housekeepers, armed with sticks, fought with the men in black.
