Chapter 12: 'Scavenger Hunt'

The proprietress of Lifeng Lou Rui Ji is a weirdo, every time there is a new girl in Lifeng Lou, she will hold a dance competition to introduce newcomers to the usual regular customers, but the tricks played are not the same every time, about Rui Ji's identity, full of layers of fog, the world knows, but she was in frequent contact with the royal family when she was young.

When everyone looked at Rui Ji and Situ Youning with anticipation, Situ Tanhua's fists clenched and trembled slightly, this year's Lifeng Building's 'Dance Competition' gave him a big surprise, Situ Youning appeared in front of this group of men dressed so thinly, even he couldn't help but be angry, let alone the second brother Situ Shaoqi, if he saw this scene, no matter how tough the backstage of Lifeng Lou was, within three months, this place would definitely become a ruin.

"Young Master?" The scholar tried his best not to make his face face face in the direction of Situ Youning, "That's not..."

"Shut up!" Although the voice of Situ Tan's painting was very small, it frightened the scholar and immediately covered his mouth.

"Everyone," Rui Ji finally opened her mouth to say the rules of this year, and the downstairs began to stir, "if any of you can find a treasure hidden in the Lifeng Building tonight, then..." As he spoke, he gently put his hand on Situ Youning's shoulder, "Whoever will belong to Miss Suqing tonight." ”

As soon as Rui Ji's words fell, there was a burst of cheers downstairs, if it was usual, Situ Tanhua would be very happy to hear such a lively noise, but now this is undoubtedly an annoying noise for him, looking at Situ Youning, who has been expressionless from the beginning, Situ Tanhua is inevitably a little worried in his heart, according to his sister's temper, she will not be slaughtered like this at all, could it be that Rui Ji has done something to her?

Just when everyone was busy looking for the treasure that Rui Ji said, Situ Tanhua took advantage of the chaos to leave the farce, and behind the curtain on the second floor, a man was sitting on a chair, admiring the 'turmoil' with great interest, his slender fingers gently slid over the lid of the cup in his hand, and the green silk hung down and stroked his cheeks, which was pleasing to the eye with a smile.

After everyone left the room, Situ Youning quickly stood up and moved his stiff body, rubbing his cheeks, which had always maintained a calm appearance.

"Did Niu Er do what I said seriously?" As he spoke, he looked anxiously out the window, and there were four or five people wandering downstairs in the courtyard looking for treasures.

The reason why Situ Youning is so obedient is because Rui Ji accepted her suggestion, and in the morning she handed over a vicious-looking ceramic doll that she had been carrying with her since she was a child, and cried and told the story of herself, the doll and Niu Er, and finally obediently put on the dance clothes of Lifeng Lou with Niu Er's freedom and the two conditions of finding treasures.

Niu Er looked at the pyre in front of him sweating profusely, leaned against the trunk of the tree beside him with his chest, and the stains on his face slightly covered his pale face.

"Is the toxicity starting to kick in again?" As he spoke, he glanced at the full moon in the night sky.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight."

"Yes, there's nothing more reassuring than this moonlit tranquility."

"Uh-huh."

"Do you like it too?"

"Uh-huh."

"Hehe..."

This conversation in the depths of his memory came to Niu Er's ears, and the face of the person in his mind had become blurred, he stood up straight weakly, coughed twice, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of morning mist, "Now I can finally understand the meaning of your laughter, and the peace that reassures me will never belong to me." ”

The moment he finished speaking, Niu Er's seemed to be a different person, picked up the tools on the ground, lit the torch, and at this moment a black shadow appeared behind him, kneeling on the ground with his head down.

"The subordinates are late to save the car, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

"Senior brother, why are you looking so seriously, did you fall in love with the woman just now?" A woman dressed as a man impatiently followed the man.

The man stopped a little angrily and turned to look at the woman in front of him, "Senior sister, don't you think this is a good opportunity to find clues?" ”

The woman laughed happily, "I'll just say, senior brother doesn't even care about Bai Xiluo, how can he be interested in the yellow-haired girl just now?" He stretched, "Then I'll take the opportunity to look for it over there." As he spoke, he turned and walked behind him.

After the woman left, the man found a vicious-looking wooden painted doll lying in the middle of the corridor, and the stains on the doll showed that it had been kicked and stepped on many times by passers-by.

"Isn't that the baby?" After the man finished speaking, he immediately shook his head and denied his conjecture, and at this moment a human voice came from behind him, and he took the opportunity to put the doll in his pocket and left, but as soon as he came out of the corner, he quickly retracted the steps he had taken, because in the corridor on the other side, a familiar figure was walking towards him, "Is he really here?" ”

The sound of footsteps and conversations was getting closer and closer, and the man had no choice but to push open the door behind him and hide in the dark room, until he was sure that the man who had just sat behind the curtain to watch the excitement had left, he was relieved.

"Were you caught in too?" From the moment the man just walked into the door, Situ Youning stood by the window and quietly observed him.

The sudden sound behind him couldn't help but surprise the man, and when he hurriedly turned around, the doll he had just picked up fell out of his pocket.

Situ Youning quickly stepped forward to pick up his doll and happily wiped the stains on its body.

"So this is really your baby?" The expression on the man's face at this time was nothing but surprise.

"You've found my baby." Situ Youning began to look at the beautiful man in front of him, and then shook his head in confusion, "You don't look like someone who would come to such a place?" ”

"What?" The man didn't understand what Situ Youning said.

"Because the temperament exuded by you and my fifth brother is completely different."

"Su Qing, have you rested already?"

A woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door, Situ Youning was very familiar with this voice, and the owner of the voice had been teaching himself to dance since yesterday.

"You..." Situ Youning pointed at the man as if to ask him what he was going to do.

"You'd better not tell anyone about the fact you've seen me," the man had planned to jump out of the window, but the downstairs was so busy that he finally hid behind the curtain of the bed out of desperation.

"Sister Yulian, your light and beautiful dance on the stage just now really made my sister envious." Situ Youning said while lighting the lamp.

"Sister, sister just came to remind you that you must protect yourself tonight." As he spoke, he stuffed a packet of medicinal powder into Situ Youning's hand.

"Sister?"

"I hope you can use it if necessary." As he spoke, he looked at the door behind him, for fear that someone would hear him.

"Thank you, sister." Situ Youning should be lacking this thing now, she used up all the fifth brother to herself in the cottage, she looked at the woman in front of her with gratitude from the bottom of her heart, her name is Yu Lian, she is one of the three major dancers in Lifeng Building, in the two days she got along with her, Situ Youning's only feeling is that this woman can't help but be beautiful, and has a gentle personality, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it's a pity how did she end up in such a place? But the world is impermanent, aren't you also trapped in this quagmire?

"Sister take care, sister will go first."

"Sister walk slowly."

After taking Yu Lian away, the man opened the bed curtain and walked down from the bed, "You don't really think that bag is a drug, right?" ”

"Is it..."

As soon as the man's feet hit the ground, without any knocking, the door opened again, and the man quickly hid back in place.
