Chapter 598: Xiu Luo, who is afraid of the cold
Xiuluo thought about it for a long time, and said calmly for a while: "Could the murderer who killed these people be the owner of this house?" β
Her words made everyone freeze instantly.
Originally, I was full of reverence and gratitude for the owner of the house, but now it is possible that he is the murderer who killed so many people.
This gap in my heart is really a big drop...... Eyeball?
The five returned to the house and sat down.
The little tanuki looked around and said, "I used to think that this room was warm, but now the more I look at it, the more terrifying it becomes." β
"Ah, is it?" Yimei was said by her, and she also felt a chill in her back.
Xiuluo saw her nervousness, so she came to her side and hugged her to comfort: "It's okay, don't be afraid." β
Bai Qingqing dragged his chin and pondered for a moment: "Could it be that the truth is this: the owner of the house built this thatched hut in this place where there is no shop in front of the village and no shop behind it, and there is plenty of rain, just to attract passers-by to come and borrow it, and then take the opportunity to poison them, but what is the motive for the killing?" Robbing them of their money? β
Yimei questioned: "But there are no gold and silver treasures in this room?" Doesn't it look like it's poor? β
Mo Shaozhi raised his voice and said: "We have found so many corpses, we have to report to the official, we can't abandon them like this." β
"Reporter? Is it back to Phoenix or Temple Street? Bai said lightly.
Mo Shaozhi thought for a while and said, "These two are big towns, but they are not close. I think there should be a small village between the two places, and later, I will ride out on horseback and look for the nearest village, and there should be a government office. β
Bai said lightly: "I'll go with you." β
Mo Shaozhi looked at the little civet cats and was a little worried, so he said, "Brother Bai should stay and take care of my sister." β
Yi Mei raised her voice and said, "Then I'll go with Brother Mo." β
The little tanuki also scrambled and said, "I'm with me too." β
Mo Shaozhi shook his head: "I'll go and come back quickly, I don't need so many people." β
The little tanuki begged: "No, I don't care, I'll go with you." β
Yimei teased her: "I think the little civet cat is afraid to stay here!" β
The little tanuki snorted.
Immediately, Yimei said to Mo Shaozhi: "Brother Mo, you can bring the little civet cat with you, and you can be regarded as having a care." β
Mo Shaozhi was helpless: "Okay, then let's go!" β
The two put on their robes and went out.
Bai is light, the clothes are beautiful, and Xiuluo watched the two leave.
The two gradually disappeared into the wind and rain.
Bai Qingqing added some firewood to the stove, which made the temperature in the room gradually fall rise.
Xiuluo saw that Mo Shaozhi's figure was out of sight, and gradually turned back from the door.
After nothing for a while, he began to sit on the bed and embroider again.
Bai Qingqing held dry firewood in his hand and asked casually, "What kind of flower is Xiuluo embroidering?" β
"It's a cluster of flowers, there are all kinds of flowers," Xiuluo smiled slightly, and continued, "What kind of flowers does Brother Bai like?" β
Bai Qingqing raised his head and began to think: "I, I don't seem to be particularly interested in flowers, so I don't know much about it. β
Xiuluo stopped what she was doing, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai gives me the feeling of being like a gardenia, snow-white, pure but fragrant and warm, just like your character." β
"Oh, Xiuluo, you still know Brother Bai best, Gardenia, well, it is indeed like herself, pure and flawless, but fragrant, not arrogant, enthusiastic and unrestrained......" Bai Qingqing was completely intoxicated with the emotion of praising himself, and couldn't extricate himself.
Seeing this, Yimei smiled and said, "Brother Bai, come back quickly!" Don't be scared! β
Bai Qingqing said lightly: "I hate it! β
Yimei then asked Xiuluo: "Then what kind of flower do you think I look more like?" β
Xiuluo's eyes blinked a few times: "The clothes are beautiful and elegant, the face is plain, more like a little daisy, not strong, but beautiful and vivid." β
When Bai Qingqing heard this, he hurriedly echoed: "Haha, yes, yes, Sister Yimei is a little daisy, well, it's very image." β
"Little Daisy......" Yimei's expression moved, and then said, "I don't think I've seen it yet." β
"You've seen it, inβ" Xiuluo suddenly realized something, and the words came to an abrupt halt.
Yimi was looking at her strangely.
"Uh-"
Xiuluo let out a low groan.
Bai Qingqing put down the dry firewood in his hand, got up and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"It's okay, it's okay, accidentally, the needle stuck in my finger." After Xiuluo finished speaking, she immediately bit her finger in her mouth.
Bai Qingqing sat back and teased: "Embroidery is inevitably pricked by needles, so it is more vivid to show off in this way." β
Xiuluo said: "Brother Bai is really funny. β
Yimei said a little strangely: "Just now you said I saw it?" β
Xiuluo instantly lowered her eyes and hesitated: "Ao, little daisies can be seen everywhere, I mean you must have seen them, but you didn't notice them." β
"Oh......" Yi Mei responded, "That's what I said, I must have seen it in the flower garden of the mirror flower and water moon before!" β
Xiuluo's expression suddenly fell into a trance.
Bai Qingqing turned his head to look at Yi Mei and said, "Mirror flowers? Is that the same place you were stuck in before? β
Yimei nodded and said, "Yes, although it is trapped inside, it is quite a beautiful place...... Alas, when it comes to the mirror, I think of that woman...... I don't know what happened to He Wansu? β
Bai Qingqing raised his voice and asked, "He Wansu?" Is that Xue Biliang, the county lord of Xiyingzhou, the leader of the secret agents lurking in our country? β
Yi Mei said: "I don't care what her identity is, in my heart she is just a gentle and elegant sister, at least in the mirror to give me this feeling." β
Xiuluo's expression became more and more solemn, and the hand holding the embroidery needle was trembling.
Yimei suddenly noticed Xiuluo's strangeness and stared at her: "Xiuluo......"
Xiuluo raised her head suddenly, a pair of frightened eyes at her.
Yimei was taken aback when she saw this: "Xiuluo, what's wrong with you?" β
Xiuluo's eyes dodged: "I...... My face is itchy. I also feel cold. β
"Cold? Then I'll add some more firewood. Bai Qingqing added some dry wood to the stove.
Yi Mei said: "You better go to bed and go into the futon." Cover a few extra beds. β
Xiuluo nodded, then pulled the futon next to her and still had it on her body, and Yimei helped her pick up a futon from the back room and put it on her: "Is it better now?" β
Xiuluo said obediently: "It's much better." β
Yi Mei helped her tuck the corners of the quilt and said, "Brother Mo said, your scar will definitely itch during the recovery period, you bear with it, remember not to scratch it with your hands." β
Xiuluo sat on the bed, wrapped up like a baby snowman, she lowered her head and responded, "Hmm." β
Under the quilt, Xiuluo clenched her hands tightly.
Bai Qingqing added a lot of dry firewood, the stove was crackling, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose a lot, he was a little unbearable, so he got up: "I'll go to the inner room to take the meeting." β
