Chapter 112: An Unexpected Discovery
Gu Chao looked at these cute plush ducklings and wanted to reach out and touch them, but these ducklings ran away in panic one by one, and one even came over and pecked Gu Chao.
Although the strength of the ducklings was not large, it also made Gu Chao see that they were not touched, so Gu Chao had to stand up and go elsewhere.
Think of the small arched bridge in the backyard of the inn, there is a hanging flower gate by the side of the stream, and the hanging flower gate leads to the grove that she has wanted to go to many times, but she has never made it, and now she happens to be alone, so let's go for a walk.
Idle is also idle, Gu Chao said to go, first passed the stone arch bridge, floated by the river, washed his face with the stream water, and then blocked the scorching sun before noon with his hands, and walked to the depths of the forest.
Along the way, Gu Hao saw that the trees in this forest were extremely dense, the color of the wood was also dark, and the texture was hard to the touch, which was a good material for making bows and crossbows at a glance.
It's a pity that she doesn't have an axe by her side now, and the small axe she is used to use is also left on the mountain, otherwise she would have to cut a branch and try it now.
Looking at the branches on the top of the tree trunk, although there was no axe, Gu Chao still followed her usual habit to choose between the major branches, and then she had good eyesight, and she saw a nest of birds on the tree.
Just been turned away by a flock of cute ducklings, so these birds have to have a good time, right?
So she first climbed up the trunk of a tree, which was neither tall nor too low, and then looked around carefully, and there were no big birds in the nest, and it seemed that the mother bird had not returned.
I saw that the feathers of the birds in the nest had already grown, and there were six of them, and each of them had a wisp of emerald feathers on the top of their heads, which was very rare and beautiful.
What kind of bird is this? Gu Chao, who climbs trees on the mountain all year round, has seen many kinds of birds, but this seems to be ordinary in the woods, there is such a nest of birds, she has never seen before, and the emerald feathers on the top of her head are also rare.
It looks like a beautiful woman with a dot on the top of her head, and she looks like a good bird.
Although she wanted to reach out and touch it, she was afraid that the bird's nest would contaminate her breath.
At that time, the mother bird will feel that it is not safe here, and take them to move, and then I don't know where to move, in case they are poached, wouldn't it be a pity, such beautiful birds, Gu Chao is reluctant to let them be killed by themselves.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of leaves shaking in the distance, accompanied by the sound of Xixi's sparse wind, Gu Chao guessed that maybe the mother bird had returned, so she quickly slid down.
Originally, she was usually very good at climbing trees, but this time because of the rush to slide down, the slide was faster, so the knees and elbows of the clothes were a little scratched, fortunately today did not wear her favorite set of clothes, otherwise it would be so worn out, it is a pity.
After coming down from the tree, she continued to walk, and after walking for a while, she found that there was a wider stream in front of her, and it turned out that there was a small stream at the back door of the inn for some reason, which was the diversion of this big stream.
Gu Chao walked over and wanted to use the stream to wipe the dirty clothes he had just rubbed on the tree, but when he walked in, he found that something was shining, and even folded the sunlight and flashed directly into her eyes.
Gu Chao curiously went over to pick up the thing, only to find that it was a mirror wrapped in wood carvings, this mirror was only half the size of a palm, which was very easy to carry, but this looked so exquisite, how could the mirror be thrown by the side of this wilderness stream.
Gu Chao decided to put it away first, such a beautiful mirror, even if he kept it, he could use it in the future.
There are still a few fish swimming in the creek of the inn, but there are no fish in the stream here, it stands to reason that this place is closer to the wild, and no one comes to disturb it, why is there no fish here? Could it be that someone has caught all the fish here?
Gu Chao thought about it for a while, and walked along the upper reaches of the stream, and gradually, she found that the grass upstream was a little messy, and there were a few footprints stuck in the mud.
There happened to be a huge stone by the river, Gu Chao walked over the traces, and was surprised to find that there was a little blood on the big stone.
Gu Chao took a few steps back vigilantly, looked around, as if there were no suspicious people around, but since she had seen such traces, she didn't dare to stay in this place for a long time, kicked the mirror, and walked back quickly, although it didn't seem to take long to walk, but she ran back in a hurry, but she felt that the road was very long.
After a long time, she returned to the back door of the Guanxi Inn out of breath, Gu Chao walked across the arched bridge, intending to find Chang Yu, and suddenly found Wei Linghao and Huaixu holding a whetstone in the center of the backyard, sharpening their daggers.
Gu Chao originally planned to walk straight over and ignore their existence, but by coincidence, the mirror in his arms suddenly fell out when he passed the two of them.
Wei Linghao was originally sharpening his knife, but he glanced at Gu Chao with his afterglow to see what he wanted to do? Seeing the familiar mirror that fell out of Gu Chao's arms, his eyes changed greatly.
Gu Chao bent down to pick up the mirror, patted the ash and continued to put it in his arms, but Wei Linghao stood up all of a sudden.
Gu Chao ignored his reaction and continued to walk forward, Wei Linghao took three steps at the same time, and grabbed her in two steps.
"What? I don't have time to waste time with you right now. ”
"Where have you been?"
"What does this have to do with you? Won't you let me hang out? Then I'm going to walk around and have fun, do I have to report back to you? ”
"Where did you get that thing just now?"
Gu Chao pinched his fingers and said with a full sense of anger.
"I bought it, what's wrong? Do you have your eye on that mirror? ”
"You lie, you can't have bought it."
"What? You know again? ”
"Do you know what that thing is?"
"Please, I'm not stupid, that's a mirror, okay? You didn't want me to bother you there, but now you are grinding your precious dagger and holding me back and not letting me go, what the hell did you do today? ”
"How did you go out for a lap? Talking becomes strange. ”
"I'm weird, it's obviously you, okay? At the beginning, I could help you and let the person you like become an imperial businessman, you were willing to accompany us to do this and that, but now that the matter is over, you have changed your face, I actually thought you were a good person, I really saw the wrong person. ”
Wei Linghao's face sank, he asked Gu Chao to go out first in the morning, just to better communicate with Huaixu first, he didn't want Gu Chao to know these things, and because he was too excited, his attitude and face might not be very good, but he didn't expect Gu Chao to have misunderstood.
"Am I like that?"
"Why didn't you just now? Don't you just want to get me out and let me out? The two of you discuss secret matters, and I don't dare to listen to the affairs of you nobles in Kyoto, where is I worthy of a wild girl on the mountain? ”
Wei Linghao let out a long breath and tried his best to convince himself to calm down.
"Don't talk about this yet, if you're really interested, I'll tell you later, I don't have a good attitude in the morning, but that's also for a reason, not for you, now you just have to tell me, where did you come from."
