Chapter 218: Hooked
"I really don't understand you, you ...... What do you all think, you all have faults. Jiusheng looked at me and said helplessly.
After saying that, Hisashi walked in the direction of the hall, and I turned my head to look into the room again, and then turned to leave.
Later, Zhao Wenliang prepared a table of meals for me and Jiusheng. Looking at these delicious meals, I didn't have any appetite, but Jiusheng sent the food to his mouth one bite after another.
After the meal, Jiusheng and I went back to the room that the Zhao family had arranged for us before.
In the evening, the Zhao family called me and Jiusheng out for dinner. After a simple meal, Jiusheng and I went to Zhao Cheng's room. At this time, Qing Yao and Zhao Cheng's wives were not in the room, and it seemed that they should have gone back to their yard.
I looked around the room, then looked at Jiusheng and said, "Jiusheng, you go and ask Zhao Cheng's birthday to come over, I'm waiting for you here." ”
Hisashi nodded after hearing this, and then left.
I then sat down next to Zhao Cheng's bed and checked Zhao Cheng's body by the way.
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, and I thought it was Jiusheng coming back. I wonder when this kid will get things done and become so fast.
Thinking so, I turned my head and said, "You kid......"
But just halfway through my words, I found that the person who came in was not Jiusheng, but Qing Yao.
Qing Yao was stunned for a moment when she walked into the room again, and we looked at each other at this time, but this was only for a moment. Qing Yao hurriedly turned her gaze to the side, and didn't look at me, there was no trace of expression on her face, and I couldn't see what she was thinking at this time.
I just stared at Qing Yao quietly, I tried to look away, but I found that my eyes seemed to be out of control.
After Qing Yao entered the house, she walked to the table and picked up a hairpin, then slowly turned around and walked in the direction of the door.
Finally, I couldn't hold back anymore, I got up and looked at Qing Yao's back and said, "Why, why ignore me." ”
Qing Yao's body was stunned for a moment, then she stopped and said softly: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what Childe said." ”
After saying that, Qing Yao took another step, and she walked towards the door of the house.
When I listened to Qing Yao's words, my heart really hurt. I really don't understand why Qing Yao wants to do this to me. Hasn't she been by my side before, why...... Why has she been getting more and more wrong since she left the Jiusheng house?
Until Qing Yao's figure disappeared at the door, I didn't say a word.
Jiusheng's voice sounded from outside the door: "It's done, Zhao Cheng's birthday is here." ”
When Jiusheng entered the house, he saw me staring at the door in a daze. He didn't know what was going on, and then he walked up to me and shook his hand in front of my eyes.
I was instantly pulled back to reality, I looked at Jiusheng and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I want to ask you, what are you doing? What are you staring at the door, what's in the doorway? Hisashi said as he looked in the direction of the door.
I didn't pay attention to Jiusheng, but snatched the note from Jiusheng's hand. The note has Zhao Cheng's birthday written on it, which has a great effect on finding Zhao Cheng's soul.
"Forget it, you'll come today." After saying that, I handed the note back to Hisashi.
Jiusheng looked at me suspiciously, but didn't say anything. Then he saw Jiu Sheng take out a piece of talisman paper, and he did it the same way he had found Qing Yao. The difference is that this time he drew a different spell.
When Jiusheng finished everything, Jiusheng put the paper figure on the ground and injected Dao Qi into the paper figure.
After a while, I saw the paper figure staggering towards the door. Hisashi and I hurriedly followed, but the paper figure suddenly stopped after walking a few steps out of the door.
Just as I was about to go up and check, the paper figure suddenly burst into flames.
Jiusheng looked at the burning paper figure and frowned: "It's not good, there are peers stopping me, and Zhao Cheng's soul is very likely to be restrained." ”
After listening to it, I thought back to yesterday, there was nothing wrong with yesterday, what kind of person can't get along with Zhao Cheng. In the end, I decided to ask Zhao Wenliang first if Zhao Cheng told others about his birthday yesterday, or if there was anything else that looked at the Zhao family unpleasantly.
With that in mind, I walked down the hall.
When Zhao Wenliang saw me and Jiusheng entering, he hurriedly said, "How is it?" Has the matter been settled? ”
I looked at Zhao Wenliang and slowly shook my head and said, "No, but when we tried to retrieve Zhao Cheng's soul just now, someone stopped us." This is likely to show that Zhao Cheng's soul was hooked away and has now been restrained. ”
"What should I do then?" Zhao Wenliang looked at me and asked again.
"I want to know now who Zhao Cheng came into contact with yesterday. Or do you have any rivals who know Zhao Cheng's birthday? I looked at Zhao Wenliang and asked.
Zhao Wenliang thought for a while and said: "This doesn't seem to be true, there was no rival yesterday at all." The people who came to participate in Zhao Cheng's family affairs were basically a group of friends. ”
"No way, you're thinking about it." I opened my mouth again.
Suddenly, Zhao Wenliang slapped his head and said, "By the way, a person dressed as a beggar came yesterday, and Cheng Er and I went out to see it." The man's hair was gray, and I saw that he was quite old and gave him some money. The man's right hand was still severed, and it looked like it was some years old. ”
When I heard this, I stood up suddenly, could the person in Zhao Wenliang's mouth be the one who ran away from Qingquan Village? The more I think about it, the more likely I think it is.
But it's impossible for the man in black to know that I'm in Zhao Mansion, so what will be the purpose of his coming here? Could it be that he really came for me? A litany of questions ran through my mind.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Wenliang saw me suddenly get up, so he looked at me and asked.
I thought about it, looked at Zhao Wenliang and asked, "Then did you tell that person Zhao Cheng's birthday?" ”
"No, the man didn't ask at all, he just took the money and left."
Hearing Zhao Wenliang say this, I may understand something. If that person really came for me, he would definitely ask for Zhao Cheng's birthday, or go directly to me. Since he didn't even ask Zhao Cheng's birthday, it means that he came to explore the way.
And the purpose of his coming here is very likely to be for the Zhao family, which means that someone wants to rectify the Zhao family.
Thinking so, I looked at Zhao Wenliang and asked, "How many of your rivals know your family well?" Preferably the kind that wants to destroy your family. ”
Zhao Wenliang was thinking about bowing his head and pondering after hearing this, and soon after he raised his head and looked at me and said, "There is really one such person, that is the old Wang family, they have always been our family's rivals. The one who was beaten by Jiusheng at the beginning was the heir of the Wang family. ”
When he said this, Zhao Wenliang was stunned.
Then he looked at me and said, "Do you think they are looking for someone to deliberately fix us, the last incident plus the previous collision in our business......
I nodded: "Very likely, it seems that that person is likely to be the person found by the Wang family." ”
"So what now?" Zhao Wenliang hurriedly asked.
I looked at Zhao Wenliang and smiled and said, "Since you know who it is, this is easy to do." You take your family to Wang's house to make a big fuss, but don't mention Zhao Cheng's matter, just find all kinds of excuses to make trouble. Also, you'd better find the man you saw with his right hand cut off at Wang's house, and harass him, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Zhao Wenliang heard this, and then said: "Then I'll take someone over." ”
After saying that, Zhao Wenliang left, while I walked with Jiusheng in the direction of the garden.
On the way I met a family servant and I asked him to prepare some tribute, a table, an incense burner, a bowl of rooster blood, and two candles.
Not long after Hisashi and I walked to the garden, two of the family moved the same things to the garden.
As they prepared, I tied a palm-sized scarecrow with straw. After that, he wrote Zhao Cheng's birthday on the rune paper and pasted the rune paper on the scarecrow's body.
"Chu Yan, it's almost over, you can start." Hisashi said on the side.
I looked up for a moment, then looked at Jiusheng and said, "You are ready to collect the soul bag, once I take the opportunity to hook Zhao Cheng's soul back, you have to quickly put him in." ”
"Don't worry, it's on me." Hisashi patted his chest and said.
I walked slowly to the table, and I gently placed the mahogany sword behind my back on the table. After that, I took out three pillars of incense and lit it, and I grabbed the incense with both hands and bowed to the night sky three times before inserting the incense into the incense burner.
I put the scarecrow on the table and looked up, and I thought it was about time.
Then I bit my middle finger and dripped blood on the man's forehead. Then I pulled out another charm and spared it three times around the scarecrow.
I hurriedly shouted, "Huh." ”
As soon as the words fell, the charm in my hand suddenly spontaneously combusted. The scarecrow began to tremble violently at this time, and I hurriedly pressed the middle and forefinger of my right hand against the scarecrow's forehead, and then slowly raised my hand.
Just as I raised my hand, the scarecrow sat up slowly with my fingers.
"Poof......" Suddenly I vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Then I felt a force hit me in the chest, and I took two steps back and sat on the ground.
"How? Are you okay? Jiusheng hurriedly ran over and asked.
I reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and said, "That damn thing actually used a trick, it seems that I underestimated him." ”
