Chapter 442
"I used to wait for you in the dark, but I want to see you appear in person."
Gu Yunya's fingertips gently touched Su Zhixi's palm, and every word revealed what he was thinking, expressing the sense of anticipation in his heart for Su Zhixi's appearance.
"Okay, fine, but you have to promise me that you must not expose your eyes to the sun for too long, understand?"
Su Zhixi understood that although Gu Yunya was a gentle man, if this temperament determined something, even a hundred horses would not be able to pull it back.
"Come, lie down on the bed, and I'll examine your wounds."
Su Zhixi pulled Gu Yunya to lie on the bed, unbuttoned his shirt, and reviewed the wound on his abdomen.
"The wound is healing well, but remember not to let the wound get wet these days."
Su Zhixi instructed Zhao Ming to pay attention to the things he needed to pay attention to in the past few days, and Zhao Ming wrote them down one by one.
After drinking the medicine, Gu Yunya fell asleep, and Su Zhixi packed her backpack and prepared to leave Gu's house.
"Thank you."
"What?"
Su Zhixi didn't hear what Zhao Ming said clearly, and couldn't help asking, "What did you say just now, I didn't hear it clearly." ”
"Nothing."
Under the mask, a touch of embarrassment appeared on his face, but fortunately, it was not noticed by the mask.
It was almost evening after leaving the Gu Mansion.
Su Zhixi was a little hungry and was going to go to Jishitang to have a meal, anyway, Mo Yi had to stay in the palace today to deal with some miscellaneous things, and she didn't have to cook dinner.
Su Zhixi, who was carrying a backpack, was thinking about what to eat, but she didn't pay attention, and saw a gray figure suddenly appear in front of her.
Su Zhixi, as a mercenary and a person who practices martial arts, instinctively reacted and kicked over.
"Hey, what's the matter with you little girl, I'm just walking away, old man, why are you so black to me."
Remembering the sound of oops, Su Zhixi looked at it intently, and the kick she had just kicked was actually a person, an old man dressed in black.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! I didn't see it clearly just now, I thought it was ......"
"Little girl, how do you talk, old man, I'm not alone or something, is it a dog, oops!!"
The old man sat on the ground, although his beard and hair were already white, but the look of spirit in his eyes was not inferior to that of a sturdy adult man, coupled with the old man's breathing was even and powerful, he looked like a practitioner.
Su Zhixi frowned slightly, and a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes.
But after all, it was she who reproduced it.
Su Zhixi stepped forward and wanted to help the old man get up, but the old man sat on the ground and refused to get up, shouting vigorously that he was hurting here, asking Su Zhixi to take him to see a doctor, and to be responsible for all his medical expenses, but also to take care of him to eat, drink and lazar and compensate for huge expenses.
Oh!
Su Zhixi then understood what was going on in front of her, it turned out to be a porcelain toucher.
Looking at the old man who was playing tricks, Su Zhixi held her shoulders and smiled.
"Old man, your acting skills are good."
I didn't use any force at all with that kick just now, and besides, the old man was a practitioner, so her kick couldn't make any threat at all, and she was a little guilty at first, but now she doesn't have any of it.
Touching porcelain actually touched her Su Zhixi's head, yes!
"What do you say, the old man doesn't understand, oops, my back hurts, my legs hurt, you take me to see a doctor, lose money, and you have to pay me money."
The old man sat down and confirmed that Su Zhixi's foot had caused him extremely serious physical injury, and the hoarse accusation attracted a lot of onlookers, who pointed at Su Zhixi one by one.
"Relying on his identity as a Chitose lady, he actually did it to an old man, the world is going down, the world is going down!"
"That's it, at such an old age, you can bear to beat him, see the old man beat."
"You have a father and a mother, if your parents had been treated so unfairly, you know what would have happened."
"Go and help the old man to see the doctor, quietly how pitiful the old man is."
"Oops, it hurts!。"
The more sympathetic the onlookers sympathized with the old man, the more the old man shouted, and Su Zhixi, who was pointed out by Qianfu, wrinkled her brows, if it weren't for her laziness to see this group of virgin, she would definitely beat this group of people all over the ground to find teeth.
See the doctor?
Good!
A strange smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and Su Zhixi exhaled fiercely, and stubbornly helped the old man who fell to the ground up.
"Let's go, I'll go to you to act as a doctor."
"Hey, little girl, slow down, old man, I'm not in good health and can't stand the toss."
The old man was helped by Su Zhixi to Jishitang, and Qi Lao was busy seeing the patient, and there was a bang! The door of Jishitang was kicked open, and he thought that someone had come to find fault.
"Girl, why do you want to dismantle Jishitang's posture."
Looking at Su Zhixi, who was holding back her anger, Qi Lao couldn't help but look at the old man she was supporting.
But it doesn't matter if you look at it, Qi Lao, who has seen the wind and waves, was instantly stunned.
This...... What's going on!!
"Elder Qi, do you know each other?"
"Huh? Don't know or don't know, picked it up on the road? ”
Qi Lao shook his head again and again, hiding the shock in his eyes.
Su Zhixi, who was angry, didn't pay too much attention to the changes in Qi Lao, threw the old man who was supporting him on the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it and suppressed his anger.
"Touching porcelain."
Su Zhixi perfectly expressed the identity of the old man in three words.
It has always been her blackmailing others, without thinking
So far, it has been planted in the hands of an old man.
"Oh yo yo, old man, my back hurts, my legs hurt, I hurt everywhere, no, no, I'm going to die!"
As he spoke, the old man's head tilted and he fainted, Qi Lao hurriedly stepped forward to check the old man's pulse, and after a while, he glanced back at Su Zhixi, and shook his head with a very solemn face.
"Girl, this is a bad thing."
"It's dead, just as I dragged it out and buried it."
She is not a fool, she can see that the old man is pretending to be dead, but Su Zhixi's actions were stopped by Qi Lao.
"It's still far from death, but he does have an injury and needs to recuperate for a while."
Injured?
Listening to Qi Lao's words, Su Zhixi's face was full of puzzlement.
I didn't use any force at all with a kick just now, and I pushed the old man out with my strength, which didn't cause any harm at all.
Su Zhixi, who did not believe in evil, stepped forward to personally diagnose the old man's pulse, but it was okay not to diagnose the pulse, and the result after diagnosing the pulse was exactly the same as what Qi Lao said.
A dark color flashed in Su's eyes, and Su Zhixi immediately made a decision.
"I'm going to bury it, so as to prevent future troubles."
"Stop, stop, why do you always want to bury people, just leave him in Jishitang for the time being, and the old man will take care of it."
Qi Lao stopped Su Zhixi's move, as if he was afraid that Su Zhixi would be unfavorable to the old man and make some excessive moves.
"Really?"
"Seriously, the old man can't lie to you."
Seeing that Su Zhixi's attitude relaxed, and he had no intention of killing the old man, Qi Lao also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaochengzi, arrange the patient in the backyard wing."
"Yes, shopkeeper!"
Xiao Chengzi left the hall of Jishitang with the help of the old man and disappeared from the sight of Su Zhixi and Qi Lao.
Qi Lao's eyes glanced at the old man who was gradually moving away, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on the palms of the hands behind his back.
Of course, Su Zhixi didn't notice Qi Lao's abnormality.
"Girl, if there is nothing to do these nights, don't run around, it's very dangerous."
"Danger? What's at stake. ”
Su Zhixi sat on a chair with her back and ate the pastries brought by Xiaochengzi.
"Haven't you heard that there are flower thieves in Kyoto these days, specializing in collecting women's yin qi, and I heard that the women who were picked flowers have become dried corpses one by one, which is very evil."
"Really?"
With an expression of disbelief, the flower thief is not a vampire, how could he make a woman a dried corpse after collecting yin qi, this is all a bridge in the fantasy plot, unless a person can become a dry corpse in a state of rapid dehydration.
But with the current level of science and technology, it seems that it is not possible to do so, and someone must be playing tricks.
"Don't believe me, girl, come with me."
Qi Lao led Su Zhixi to Jishitang
In another courtyard, the door was locked in a room in the courtyard, and after the wooden door was opened, Su Zhixi saw a dried corpse lying on a bed.
"The old man didn't lie to you, this woman was sent last night."
"Woman?"
Su Zhixi grasped the key point in Qi Lao's words, "What does Qi Lao mean is that this corpse was still humanoid when it was sent yesterday?" ”
"Yes."
Qi Lao nodded, and when he saw Su Zhixi break through the clues in his words, he seemed to be faintly relieved.
"To be precise, this woman was broken by the flower thief last night and couldn't find her dead, and her family sent her to Jishitang, but strange things happened at that time."
Qi Lao told Su Zhixi about what happened last night, and even now, Qi Lao still had palpitations when he mentioned this matter.
Flower thieves have been active in Kyoto for some time, but the government has been unable to catch the flower thieves themselves, not even their shadows.
Every time, only after the flower thief committed the crime, the officials of the government would find out that they had been sucked out of the yin qi and became the victim of the dried corpse.
Now, the government has offered a heavy reward in black and white to catch the flower thief, but there is still no trace of it.
Last night, another woman was killed.
When the family sent the murdered woman to Jishitang for help, the woman was already dead, and with the death of the victim, the unthinkable happened.
The living corpse turned into a dry corpse in front of Qi Lao and the others at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If it weren't for Qi Lao seeing everything happen with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe what would happen in the rumors.
Su Zhixi walked to the wooden bed where the dried corpse was placed, and looked at the corpse in front of her carefully.
Again, with the current technology, it is impossible to achieve dehydration in an instant, and Qi Lao will not lie to himself, the victim has turned from a corpse to a dry corpse in front of them, since it is not a rapid dehydration, there can only be a way to explain it.
"Girl, do you have an explanation for this woman's strange appearance?"
"If it's not for rapid dehydration, there's only one way to explain why a corpse is dried in the blink of an eye. Gu poison! ”
This is the most plausible explanation, and it is the only explanation for the mutation of the corpse so far.
She had seen an introduction to this aspect in the book "Hundred Herbs Holy Doctor", and it was also when she inquired about the antidote to the Heart Devouring Gu Poison that she accidentally saw such an incident.
At that time, I looked at it as a strange thing, but I didn't expect it to really happen in front of me now.
"How many cases are these?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure there have been many incidents, and the murderer has not been caught so far."
Qi Lao shook his head, the hateful flower thief is still at large, maybe he is committing a crime now, and an innocent woman is being killed.
"Ha~~ The matter of the flower thief will be handed over to the government to deal with, anyway, the government has issued a black and white reward order, Qi Lao, do you have anything to eat."
Su Zhixi yawned and stretched.
They care about the flower thief, there is a bird for it, it is a matter of the government, and they have a half-dime relationship.
"It just so happens that the old man hasn't eaten either, so why don't you go to the Drunken Immortal Building?"
"Cheng, I didn't bring any silver, so I'll treat you today."
When Qi Lao heard that he was having a treat, he hurriedly retracted what he had just said.
"The things in the Drunken Immortal Building are too expensive, and I have been going to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat a little crooked recently, otherwise the old man will show you his hands."
"Old Qi, you are killed!"
In the end, Su Zhixi still stayed in Jishitang for dinner, but it was not the meal cooked by Qi Lao, but Su Zhixi was in charge of it herself.
A large table of delicacies was full of aroma, causing Qi Lao to swallow his saliva.
"The girl's craftsmanship really doesn't mean that the cooks in the palace can't compare to you, no! It's not comparable to you at all. ”
The dishes made by Su Zhixi are full of color and aroma, and they are so delicious that I can't wait for Qi Lao to swallow all of them.
At this time, the old man who suddenly appeared sat down at the dining table, picked up his chopsticks and began to clean the table of dishes made by Su Zhixi.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!!"
The old man was the one who touched Su Zhixi, and he was eating Su Zhixi's dishes at the moment, and he was full of praise while eating.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Old Qi poured a glass of wine and put it beside the old man, and the old man was not polite, he drank it all with his glass, and began to sweep it again.
By the time Su Zhixi returned to the cottage from the kitchen with the last dish, the plates on the table were licked cleaner than her face.
Looking at the old man who appeared at the dinner table, Su Zhixi put down the plate in her hand, turned around and walked out, and when she appeared in the hut again, she held the shovel in her hand.
"Old Qi, don't stop me, I'm going to bury him!!"
"Don't be angry, anger hurts your liver!"
Su Zhixi didn't care about the old man's surname, if it weren't for Qi Lao's desperate stopping, she would definitely bury the old man in the soil.
Holding a bowl of rice and the only remaining dish, Su Zhixi put the two old men in front of her like a thief.
"I have decided, I will stay in Jishitang in the future, as long as you, this girl, cooks for me every day, and the old man will not pursue you for hurting me."
The old man who touched the porcelain was surnamed Nan, and the old man asked Su Zhixi to call him Nan Lao.
Nan Lao drank the wine with a happy expression, not minding Su Zhixi's expression of wanting to divide his body and feed him to the dogs.
Bang!
After eating a bowl of rice, Su Zhixi put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and left.
"Girl, why are you going, it's dangerous not to go back alone."
Qi Lao looked angry, and Su Zhixi had a worried expression.
"Back to Chitose Mansion!"
If she doesn't leave now, Su Zhixi is afraid that she will chop up Qi Lao and Nan Lao and feed them to the dogs.
I think she Su Zhixi has been shameless in the rivers and lakes for many years, and today she met an old immortal who is even more shameless than herself!
I'm mad at her!!
Looking at Su Zhixi's figure gradually disappearing from sight, Qi Lao shook his head helplessly, and when he turned around, a smile in his eyes was also full of respect.
"Patriarch Nangong, don't you really plan to recognize the girl?"
Nan Lao, whose full name is Nangong Ao, is the current patriarch of the Nangong family, and the top ten masters on the Seven Kingdoms Heavenly List, and the father of Su Zhixi's biological mother Nangong Yu, in other words, Su Zhixi's grandfather.
The moment Nangong Ao appeared, Qi Lao recognized his identity.
It's just that Qi Lao doesn't understand why the Nangong patriarch would appear in Kyoto in such an identity, which is really puzzling.
"Yu'er's child is more interesting than the old man imagined, and the old man has asked Brother Qi to take it in for the time being."
"It should be, Patriarch Nangong is polite."
Su Zhixi didn't know what Qi Lao and Nangong Ao said, and she didn't know what the identity of the old man who touched porcelain was very unhappy anyway.
Seeing that there is still a period of time for the New Year, the vendors who buy New Year's goods shout for their goods.
However, because of the flower thief, there are many fewer women on the street, and only women pass by occasionally.
"This sister, how do you get to Xianjiufang?"
Su Zhixi stopped, turned around to look for the sound, and saw a man in a red robe looking at her with a smile under the swaying red lantern.
The man's eyes are half-squinted, and there seems to be a touch of ambiguity in his narrow eyes, and the voice is also very sexy, as if every word touches your heart.
The cold wind blew, lifting the man's loose long hair, and the jade-like handsome man provoked a heart-wrenching smile, everything was so beautiful.
Such a bewitching man probably only exists in paintings.
"This sister, may I ask how to get to the Xianjiufang, Lan has just arrived and got lost, I don't know if my sister can guide the way."
The handsome boy, who claimed to be surnamed Lan, took a few steps forward, and the distance between him and Su Zhixi was closer.
Su Zhixi raised her head, a pair of Su eyes fell on him, and she slowly spoke.
"Turn back, take a hundred steps to the left, take a hundred steps to the right, take a hundred steps forward, take a hundred steps back, no thanks!"
When the words fell, Su Zhixi turned around neatly and wanted to leave, but she was stopped by the man in red stepping forward.
"I really don't know how to go on the road of Xianjiufang, and I bother my sister to lead the way, so I will definitely give you a lot of thanks."
The man in red looked very embarrassed, as if he really didn't know how to go to the Immortal Wine Workshop, and wanted Su Zhixi to take him to his destination.
"This son."
