Chapter 27: Clues
Jiong Yan noticed that one end of the flute was shining with a reddish light.
After pondering for a moment, he immediately quietly cast a spell to remove the pale red light from the jade flute. After doing all this, he played a song with Yu Ruo.
"Where have you been today?" After finishing the song and putting away the jade flute, Jiong Yan suddenly asked Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze was suddenly asked, and he asked a little blindly. After thinking for a while, he slowly spit out: "Today I was in the inn with Yuruo, and I have been to the riverside. ”
"And who have you seen?" Jiong Yan asked, his tone very serious.
Xiao Ze saw that Jiong Yan's face suddenly lost its mildness, and his eyes looked straight at him and Yu Ruo. I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, and asked, "Jiong Yan, why are you so serious?" Is something wrong? ”
Jiong Yan put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Tell me first, who have you two seen today?"
It is better to see someone who did not appear a few days ago, but suddenly appears today. ”
Xiao Ze raised his head, stared at the sky, and recalled: "In the inn, people come and go, and I can't remember which guests didn't show up a few days ago, but today they suddenly came to the inn again. ”
"What about the people who work in the shop?" Jiong Yan reminded.
Xiao Ze thought for a while, patted his thigh and said, "There is." There is also a person in the inn who did not appear a few days ago, but today he went to the small shop. ”
"Who?" Jiong Yan asked eagerly.
"We have two chefs at the inn. One of the chefs, his name is Li Chu, but everyone likes to call him Chef Li. Xiao Ze introduced this person, "He left a few days ago and only came back today." ”
Jiong Yan held the flute and read it repeatedly: "Li Chu, Li Chu." ”
"Is there anyone else?" Jiong Yan asked again.
Xiao Ze thought about it again and said, "There is another one, which is our boss lady." I won't introduce her situation, you know. ”
"Oh? She's back? Jiong Yan muttered.
Xiao Ze understood Jiong Yan, he would not ask these questions for no reason, and asked again suspiciously: "Jiong Yan, you tell me directly, what happened?" ”
"It's okay, understand, I'll go to the inn with you." Jiong Yan said lightly.
Xiao Zehu looked at Jiong Yan suspiciously.
"Gongzi Jiongyan, are you going to the inn too? What are you going to do? "After getting along for a period of time, Yu Ruo still knows a little about Jiong Yan,
Jiong Yan is not the kind of person who likes to go out, and he doesn't like to go to crowded places. He took the initiative to ask to go to the inn today, which is not his usual style.
Jiong Yan looked at Xiao Ze with a smile and said slowly: "Xiao Ze, what's the matter?" You used to cry and shout for me to go to the inn, but now I take the initiative to go, and you don't welcome it? ”
Hearing Jiong Yan say this, Xiao Ze was even more puzzled. He walked over, touched Jiongyan's forehead with his hand, and muttered, "There's no fever." How can you talk nonsense? ”
Jiong Yan opened Xiao Ze's hand and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Tomorrow, I will go with you." With that, he turned and walked inside.
Xiao Ze followed in two or three steps, dragged Jiong Yan and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" You shouldn't even hide it from me. ”
Jiong Yan said slowly to Xiao Ze: "Let go of your hand, and I'll tell you when I'm sure." ”
"You're gone, what should Mu Yu do? Who will protect him? Xiao Ze looked at Mu Yu.
Jiong Yan also looked at Mu Yu, thought for a while and said, "Let him be at home alone tomorrow, and I will lay a stronger enchantment." If attacked, the attacker will not be able to break the barrier for a while. ”
After speaking, Jiong Yan went to the room in two or three steps.
Leaving Xiao Ze alone, he muttered in the same place: "This kid is mysterious today, there must be something hidden in his heart?" ”
Early the next morning, Jiong Yan got up early and went to the inn with Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo.
After coming to the inn, Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo immediately began to clean. Jiong Yan has been standing at the counter and pondering.
"Xiao Ze, do you think that Jiong Yan Gongzi is a little strange today?" Yu Ruo was cleaning and looked at Jiong Yan.
Xiao Ze whispered to her, "Ever since he said he was coming to the inn, he has been strange. ”
It didn't take long for most of the people who worked at the inn to come.
Jiong Yan waved to Xiao Ze and motioned for him to come over. Xiao Ze came to the counter and asked, "Why are you looking for me?" ”
"What is the name of Li Chu that you said yesterday, or is Chef Li's person here?" Jiong Yan asked softly.
"He? What do you ask him for? Xiao Ze stared at Jiong Yan strangely.
"I'll tell you when he's coming." Jiong Yan still didn't say the reason.
Xiao Ze said helplessly: "He hasn't come yet." ”
Jiong Yan whispered an "oh" and fell into deep thought again.
Xiao Ze looked at Jiong Yan at the counter and couldn't help asking, "What's going on with you today?" Do you want to follow me to the inn? ”
"Wait for someone." Jiong Yan slowly spit out two words.
Xiao Ze guessed: "Wait for someone? You won't wait for Li Chu, right? ”
Jiong Yan said slowly: "You, go to work." ”
Xiao Ze saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he reluctantly walked away.
"You see, this boy comes out of the painting." A young girl was outside the inn, and saw Jiong Yan without any opinion, and immediately fell under Jiong Yan's prosperous face.
Pull a few young ladies around you and enter the inn together.
Yu Ruo was stunned by this scene, and sighed at Xiao Ze: "These girls, why aren't they reserved? ”
Xiao Ze said helplessly: "Who made Jiong Yan naturally look good." If I were a woman, I would look at it twice. ”
Yu Ruo was amused by this and giggled. Then he gently praised Xiao Ze: "Jiong Yan Gongzi is really good-looking. ”
When Xiao Ze heard this, his heart was sour, he buried his head, and made the stool rattle.
"Still, in my heart, I don't think you're any worse than him." When Xiao Ze heard Yu Ruo's words, he laughed happily and stupidly.
Yu Ruo continued: "Jiong Yan Gongzi is like the moon in the sky, although it is beautiful, it gives people a cold feeling.
And you are like the sun in the sky, which can bring a kind of warmth to people. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Ze smiled even sweeter.
Jiong Yan overheard the conversation between the two, and lightly threw a sentence at Xiao Ze: "In the eyes of the lover, you just look like a toad, and in Yu Ruo's eyes, you are also good-looking." ”
When Xiao Ze heard this, he said loudly and dissatisfiedly: "I look like a toad? You're like a toad. ”
Yu Ruo was already laughing on the side, and he couldn't support his waist.
Jiong Yan smiled lightly, and blew it gently with the jade flute boringly.
His jade flute sounded. Many passers-by stopped to admire.
Xiao Ze took the opportunity to greet the passers-by around him and entered the inn to eat. Many passers-by poured into the inn in order to listen to Jiongyan's songs. Yu Ruo and Xiao Ze immediately got busy.
"Wow, there are more visitors to the inn today than in the past." Suddenly, a person stood at the counter and glanced at the inn and said happily.
Xiao Ze looked at it and greeted the person who spoke: "Chef Li, why are you only here now, go to the back kitchen to help." ”
Jiong Yan saw that this slightly chubby person was Chef Li, and immediately stopped playing the flute, and his eyes kept looking.
"Jiong Yan, blow it quickly. These guests are waiting. Xiao Ze saw that Jiong Yan stopped playing, and immediately went over to urge Ji Yan.
Jiong Yan pointed to Chef Li's back and asked, "He is the person you said last night, who didn't appear a few days ago, but went to the shop today." ”
"That's right. What's wrong? Xiao Ze saw that Jiong Yan had been staring at Chef Li who was going away, and he was very puzzled.
"Can you call him over?" Jiong Yan looked at Xiao Ze and asked.
Xiao Ze was confused by this, and asked puzzledly: "Jiong Yan, what are you looking for him?" ”
"Don't ask, bring him in, I have my own intentions." Jiong Yan said lightly.
"Looking for it now? You see, there are so many visitors now, and there is only one cook in the back kitchen, and I can't be busy, so how about I call it again when it's over? Xiao Ze discussed with Jiong Yan.
Jiong Yan thought about it, took the flute and walked towards the back kitchen.
Yu Ruo pulled Xiao Ze and said, "Jiong Yan Gongzi, go to the back kitchen." ”
Xiao Ze looked back and said helplessly: "Forget it, let him go." After that, he started to get busy again.
"Hey, that flute boy, why did you leave?" Seeing Jiong Yan leaving, some guest officers pulled Xiao Ze and asked.
"He didn't go, he's a little tired, he'll come back after a while." Xiao Ze found a reason to stabilize these guest officers first.
After a while, Jiong Yan took the jade flute and slowly came out again.
When Xiao Ze saw him coming out, he immediately went up and asked, "What are you doing in the back kitchen?" ”
Jiong Yan buried his head and said to himself as he walked: "It's not him." It seems that there is someone else. ”
Xiao Ze was confused when he heard it, "What is not him?" ”
After Jiong Yan glanced at him, he didn't say anything, and walked straight towards the counter. When you arrive at the counter, you stand quietly and meditate, like a sculpture.
Yu Ruo walked over, looked at Jiong Yan, and asked Xiao Ze in a low voice, "What's wrong with Gongzi Jiong Yan?" How do you stay motionless? ”
Xiao Ze shook his head, he wanted to know what was going on more than Yu Ruo. He saw that Jiong Yan was still pondering, so he didn't bother him. I went on my own.
After thinking for a long time, Jiong Yan came back to his senses, brought Xiao Ze over, and said, "You called Tang Yi to our house tonight, and said that I had something to look for him." ”
"Why don't you look for it yourself?" Xiao Ze was very puzzled.
"I have to go back to protect Mu Yu." After that, he left the inn.
Xiao Ze wanted to keep Jiong Yan, but he was even more worried that Mu Yu was home alone. So, he agreed to Jiong Yan and let him leave first.
On this day, the inn was full, and Xiao Ze couldn't get out, so he had to ask someone to find Tang Yi.
When the inn closed, Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo returned home with Tang Yi.
When Tang Yi saw Jiong Yan, he couldn't wait to ask, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Jiong Yan beckoned Tang Yi to sit down, and said slowly: "I came to you today to tell you about the whereabouts of the wolf demon......
Without waiting for Jiong Yan to finish speaking, Tang Yi asked excitedly and loudly, "Have you found the wolf demon?" Where is it? ”
"Don't be too happy, all I can say is that I've found a clue about the wolf demon. And it's possible to find it, but I'm not sure. Jiong Yan said slowly.
Several other people were also curious when they heard this.
"Jiong Yan, what's the situation, you say." Xiao Ze also asked eagerly.
Jiong Yan poured a cup of tea and said, "Xiao Ze, haven't you been asking me why I want to go to the inn with you today?" ”
Xiao Ze kept nodding, and then guessed based on Jiong Yan's strange behavior today: "When you go to the inn, it can't be related to the wolf demon, right?" ”
Jiong Yan nodded at everyone.
"What's the situation, you tell me in detail." Tang Yi couldn't wait to ask.
Jiong Yan got up, looked at Tang Yi, and said, "The night we fought with the wolf demon. When the wolf demon knocked my jade flute to the ground, I slapped him too.
In addition to slapping him, I gave him something. ”
"What's that?" The other four asked in unison.
Jiong Yan pointed to a bouquet of flowers in front of the window with a jade flute......
