Chapter 2 Visit
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that while Mu Qingming was detained by the Provincial Police Department, Changshengdao hired a horse gang to transport the dried muntjac that he secretly bought from the old county into the Spring City. Mu Qingming, who was detained by the Provincial Police Department for ten days, was released because the police finally did not find evidence to prove that he had killed someone. Mu Qingming, who was brought out to shave his head and take a bath after arriving home, and had a big meal, asked if there was any news of Lin Wanyin, and the other dragon lockers shook their heads one after another. As everyone knows, Lin Wanyin had quietly followed behind the caravan transporting the dried muntjac, until he quietly left after following the other party into the city and confirming the accommodation of this caravan. Go to Shala Lane to visit Mu Qingming. 】
After walking for a while under the scorching sun, Mu Qingming finally came to his home in Shala Lane. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Miaotian, who was holding a Xueliang razor and carrying a white towel on his shoulder, was already waiting in the courtyard.
Mu Qingming looked around the courtyard; Although he had not returned for ten days, there had not been much change in the courtyard. The small wooden buildings and blue bricks and gray tiles are still light and simple, and the courtyard is verdant and evergreen, and the flowers are vibrant.
It seems that when he is not at home, Mo Han takes good care of the flowers and plants planted by Mu Qingming.
However, this familiar scene and the familiar fragrance of plants and trees in the courtyard can still make Mu Qingming feel familiar, and he can't help but take a deep breath. Let the fragrance of the grass and trees sink into his heart and spleen with the inhaled breath.
But if you look closely, the only place that is different from his departure is that under the tree in front of the east house, there are two more simple and simple embroidered eye cages hanging on the branches. In the cage made of ivory, there were two short-eared owls with sharp eyes, undense feathers, and uniform cross-shaped black-brown stripes on their bodies, staring at Mu Qingming in unison, looking up and down for a while.
However, their sharp gaze, which was as sharp as a knife, immediately revealed a bit of ill will when it landed on Mu Qingming's body.
This is the night owl that Miao Tian has already asked the city lord of Ghost City to find, and it is used in the final decisive battle with the Immortal Dao. In the past few days that Mu Qingming was detained, the ghost city lord happened to send them over.
Recently, Miao Tian has been busy training these two night owls.
After carefully washing his face, Mu Qingming sat on the stool in front of Miaotian and asked the other party to start shaving his head. Although he was imprisoned in the underground detention cell in the provincial police department, it was a deliberate move by him and Zhao Liang to join forces. But the fact that he was in prison for a long time is a fact that has always seemed a bit unlucky to outsiders.
For the unknown way of breaking the prison disaster, the folk method is to shave the head and shave the beard, in addition to dusting off the body with wicker.
Mu Qingming knew that these actions had no effect at all, but he still decided to do them one by one; Just because of this, the fact that he can be imprisoned is enough to confuse the truth with falsehood, and it is not a drama in the eyes of outsiders.
Under the sun, Mu Qingming looked ahead, and after watching his strands of hair being shaved off by a razor, he asked Miaotian, who was concentrating on shaving his head behind him, "Has the Immortal Dao done anything recently?" ”。
"Except for the stealing of a few more children that I mentioned to you a few days ago, there was almost no action, and no contact was made with me." Miao Tian said this, her eyes kept staring at the razor that was running between Mu Qingming's messy hair on top of Mu Qingming's head.
"Well, the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop; After a while, according to the folk method, I collected all the hair and beard that I had shaved off and put them at the entrance of the alley to burn. After hearing this, Mu Qingming said slowly.
Ever since his mother, Mu Luo, had planted a powerful barrier in the courtyard, the disciples of the Immortal Dao had been unable to hear the sounds in the courtyard, nor could they see everything in the courtyard, so they withdrew the disciples who were monitoring the courtyard.
But in order to monitor when and where Mu Qingming and they left the alley, and where they went, there were still immortals in the alley and alleys.
That's why Mu Qingming shaved his head and beard when he was released from prison according to folk customs. And after 10 days in the underground detention cell, his hair did become very greasy, almost sticking together. He must shave his head well to feel refreshed and comfortable.
Miao Tian snorted and continued to concentrate on shaving Mu Qingming's head silently.
In the kitchen under the east house, the sound of a frying spoon frequently rubbing against the iron pot was already sounding, and Mo Han and Miao Yu were busy in it, and then the aromatic aroma of vegetables wafted out, which made Mu Qingming's index finger move.
Half an hour later, Miaotian had already shaved a delicate and refreshing little flat head for the hungry Mu Qingming.
He endured hunger and slowly returned to the room, took a good bath in the bucket of hot water prepared for him by Miaobi Miaole, and changed into a clean and tidy robe, before Mu Qingming sat down in the hall where seven bowls and eight dishes had been placed. The other dragon lockers also sat around him.
Miaotian, who had already burned Mu Qingming's beard and hair at the entrance of the alley, gave him a look, signaling that the stalkers of his Immortal Dao had seen this move.
"Young Master, according to my research on the Immortal Dao Demon Book, the evil magic they are about to perform requires the blood of eight children as a book reference, and it must also be four men and four women. It must be the children they have stolen recently. As Mu Qing devoured a table of delicacies, Miaobi said to him.
Mu Qingming, who hadn't eaten a few bites, suddenly put down his chopsticks and stopped chewing after hearing the words. If his plan is to be carried out perfectly, he is forced to sacrifice these children, which makes him a little unbearable.
But if those children are forcibly rescued, then everything he has done before will be in vain, and more people will be killed by the Immortal Dao.
In the silence, Mu Qingming suddenly felt that he was powerful, but there were still some things that he was always more than capable of, which made him feel very useless.
Self-blame drove him, and he couldn't help but think of countermeasures, and he wanted to come up with a way to save these eight children when he eradicated the immortal path.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was stunned and didn't come to his senses for a long time, Mo Han asked softly after peeling a shrimp for him.
"It's fine." Mu Qingming, who was calm when he heard this, shook his head with an indifferent smile, and asked casually: "Is there any news about Lin Wanyin recently?" ”。
All the dragon lockers shook their heads slowly......
An elegant carriage followed not far behind Luo Can's caravan, and as they passed through the south gate, they entered the Spring City. The body is wrapped in fine red silk on all sides, so that passers-by cannot see the faces of the people in the car.
The wheels rolled, the bells swayed and rang the ethereal bells, and the smoky wind lifted the blue crepe curtain outside the window one after another, rolling up and down.
A slender and slender hand lifted the curtain in front of the car door, and Lin Wanyin poked his head out of it and looked at the caravan not far away. After visually getting a little closer to the caravan, Lin Wanyin whispered to the burly coachman who was driving the car: "Ma Bo, don't follow too closely, just follow from a distance." ”。
With the bathing herbs that Mu Qingming prepared for him, and often taking medicinal baths, the influence of the Four Pillars of Pure Yin on Lin Wanyin no longer existed. He was no longer as weak and sick as he had been. Not only have people become more energetic, but they have also gained weight, and the skin on their delicate faces is delicate and ruddy, and they are also shiny.
The groom nodded in response, and whispered, "Phew! Sigh! At the same time, he pulled the reins of the horse slightly, and slowed down the speed of the carriage a little according to Lin Wanyin's explanation.
Mu Qingming had already expected that Changshengdao would not personally transport the dried muntjac, and when he planned to ask Lin Wanyin for help, he thought of the whole plan, not only to ask the other party to perform the matter of digging out the dried muntjac in the mine, but also to Lin Wanyin pretend to be fooled and sell the dried muntjac to the person who took the initiative to buy it. In addition, Mu Qingming also asked him to take a look at the people who followed the muntjac into the city and see where they were staying.
Lin Wanyin didn't even ask why, so he readily agreed one by one; What he was doing at this time was to follow the horse gang that transported the muntjac.
Lin Wanyin didn't want to return to Spring City, this was the place where he was sad. Thinking about the word Spring City, the scene of the destruction of the family will appear in my mind, and my heart can't help but twitch.
However, Mu Qingming is his benefactor, as long as it is something that the other party says, Lin Wanyin, who knows how to repay his kindness, will definitely work hard to do well, even if he returns to his sad place, he will never shirk it.
After the carriage followed the caravan into the city, it traveled all the way north. The car runs over the bluestone slabs in the city and paves the road, passing through the streets and alleys. Lin Wanyin picked up the curtain, looked left and right outside the car, then poked his head out from behind the curtain and asked his coachman: "Ma Bo, do you see where the horse gang will go if it goes on like this?" ”。
Although he was born and raised in Kunming. But he had been sick before, and his weak body made him unable to leave the door. Later, after he recovered from his illness, he ushered in the destruction of his family again, and left Spring City not long after, so he was really not familiar with Kunming City.
"It should be going to the side of the Nine Dragon Pond in Green Lake." The groom whipped the buttocks of the horses pulling the cart, and replied in a deep voice: "All the horses have entered the city, and they have basically stayed in that area. There are also many warehouses and large car shops over there, which is also convenient for them to stock. ”。
Lin Wanyin sighed and stopped squeaking.
The carriage followed the caravan for a long time, only to see the caravan passing through the streets and alleys in the city, and came to the Xima River in the south of Cuihu. But Luo Can and the others did not stop, but after crossing the river, they continued all the way north, straight to the bamboo forest of Xicangpo (now the middle section of Kunming Qianju Street and the south end of Fuyong Road to the alley of the Provincial Materials Bureau of Cuihu West Road).
Look at it like this, Luo Can and they are really going to stay near Cuihu.
When the carriage reached the bottom of the slope, I saw a caravan not far away, which had stopped in front of a big cart shop with a red wall and bamboo shadow on the slope. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, the horseman hurriedly stopped the carriage under a towering tree on the slope and did not follow.
Lin Wanyin poked out of the carriage and looked up the slope. I saw Luo Can at the door of the cart shop, and after chatting with the shopkeeper of the cart shop, he took out a few oceans and handed them to the other party. Then Luo Can's caravan and horses entered the cart shop in order when the shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and did not come out again.
There are ten acres of lotus flowers in the green lake, the water is shining, and the willows on the shore are lined up, swaying the Buddha tower with the wind. Not far away, the lakeside snail shop and the steamed bun shop of Lai Ba (during the Republic of China, who was famous for making crispy buns by the Green Lake) are full of fragrance.
The fragrance came with the wind, and Lin Wanyin, who smelled it, and Ma Bo, who was driving the car, couldn't help but be hungry.
But after waiting for a long time, and still not seeing Luo Can's horse gang come out of the big car shop, Lin Wanyin expected that they would definitely stay overnight again today, so he said to the groom: "Let's go, after buying a few steamed buns, we will go to the house of Young Master Mu in Shalaxiang to visit him." ”。
The coachman answered, turned the car and headed in the direction of Shala Lane.
Was the handover between Changshengdao and Luo Can smooth? Why did Mu Qingming ask Lin Wanyin to follow the horse gang? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
