Gu Qingzhou never slept.

She is not tired or sleepy.

During this night, her heart was always beating out of rhythm, which made her very uncomfortable.

This is not a hunch, but a speculation.

Gu Qingzhou thinks about everything, and the possibility of good things and bad things is all in her heart.

So when this happened, the bad side rushed to her, and she couldn't shake it off.

She couldn't sleep, and when Si Xingpei was napping on the sofa, she was still quietly looking at the courtyard not far away.

When the servant opened the door and footsteps sounded on the path of the main courtyard, Gu Qingzhou was the first to stand up.

The adjutant who came back from the "ma'am" spoke with difficulty, "found in the river"

Gu Qingzhou's legs instantly lost their strength.

She inexplicably felt unable to stand.

Sister-in-law Xin didn't care about helping Gu Qingzhou, she first leaned on the door with a limp before she didn't fall to the ground, tears rolled down, and she choked up and asked, "That and that"

The truth is already in front of her, but Sister-in-law Xin just doesn't dare to lift this veil.

The adjutant licked his dry lips, each word weighed like a thousand pounds, pressing on the base of his tongue, making it difficult for him to pronounce words: "I have to wait for the people from the garrison department to test how he died and how long he died." ”

Sister-in-law Xin couldn't hold back any longer, slipped to the ground, and cried.

Si Xingpei woke up the moment the adjutant came in.

He stood behind Gu Qingzhou and put his hand on her shoulder.

Gu Qingzhou suddenly became excited.

Only then did Si Xingpei realize that she was trembling all over, gently, restrainedly, and non-stop.

"Help Sister-in-law Xin up." Si Xingpei said to the adjutant.

Adjutant said yes.

Si Xingpei was here, and Sister-in-law Xin felt that someone could take care of her wife, so she indulged her emotions and cried: "How can I explain to the dog? Siya also told me a few days ago to buy a piece of fabric and make a dress for the dog, and the rest of the cloth to make a pair of shoes."

The adjutant was almost red-eyed by Sister-in-law Xin's words.

Gu Qingzhou's trembling body was even colder.

Si Xingpei said to the adjutant, "Let's go out first." ”

Gu Qingzhou sat in the sofa for a long time before realizing that Si Xingpei was hugging her tightly.

She came back to her senses and patted Si Xingpei's arm, because Nale made her breathless.

She said, "I want to go and see Siya." ”

Si Xingpei hesitated: "Do you really want to see it?" ”

"Let's see." Gu Qingzhou said.

Si Xingpei drove and galloped at the dark dawn to the garrison hall.

Gu Qingzhou saw Siya.

The person examined by the security department said to Gu Qingzhou: "It was drowned, and there were no other external injuries." ”

Gu Qingzhou's voice was hoarse.

She asked, "Is it painful?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not painful, it's over soon." She's gone, and Mrs. mourns. ”

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

She said to the people in the laboratory department, "Let's make sure." If it is certain that it is drowned, there is no other doubt, and we are going to be buried in the ground. ”

"Yes."

When she walked out of the garrison, it was already morning, and the morning sun slowly climbed from the blue-gray sky, staining the sky white.

When Gu Qingzhou came down the steps, he took an empty step.

Her emotions were a little out of place when she received the news of Siya's death, and as soon as she stepped into the air, she chuckled heavily in her heart and shook her body.

Si Xingpei helped her: "Are you okay?" ”

Gu Qingzhou shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Light Boat"

"I know what you're trying to say, I don't want to cry." Gu Qingzhou said, "If I wanted to cry, I would have cried a long time ago, what am I pretending to be in front of you?" ”

Si Xingpei gently brushed her back.

When she got into the car, Si Xingpei held her hand, and then she realized that her hands were cold, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

Her emotions seemed to be secret and heavy, and she couldn't vent them.

It's not that she doesn't want to vent, it's that it hasn't found an outlet yet.

"Let's go home first. Siya will not disappear for no reason, nor will she run so far to the outskirts to jump into the river. Gu Qingzhou said, "Find the murderer." ”

After saying this, her heart collapsed again, as if she had stepped on the air again.

Si Xingpei said: "I'm looking for it." As long as it is artificial, it will leave traces, you can rest assured. ”

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

When they returned home, Siya's brother Gouzi also went to the security department.

He fainted right then.

After the people from the garrison department finished the inspection, they returned the four girls to Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou said to the dog who woke up: "When your parents come, you will bury her." Who is the murderer, let's find out slowly. ”

What the dog wanted to say, Gu Qingzhou finished speaking, so he nodded with teary eyes and couldn't cry.

Gu Qingzhou stroked the top of his head, his short hair, which poked her heart in a trance: "Don't worry, I will give Siya justice." ”

The dog's scalp touched Gu Qingzhou's palm, and the cold touch made him shiver slightly.

In the sadness of the sky, he suddenly thought: "The palm of the wife is so cold, as cold as the hand of the fourth girl." ”

Then he began to weep again.

The young man's back collapsed at once. No matter how many emotions there are, they are all drowned out by sadness.

He was crying breathlessly.

Gu Qingzhou looked at him again at this time and found that he was exceptionally small.

She also remembered that when the dog came to work beside her, he had just turned fifteen. But the country boy often starved, and he looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

In the past two years, he has grown taller and is already a bit of an adult, but he is still an underage child.

And the four ya

Gu Qingzhou watched from the side, the skin on her body tightened inch by inch, and she felt her stiffness.

At this moment, Siya's parents came.

They had foolishly wanted to sell this daughter to the Priestess, but their love for the child would not be diminished because of ignorance.

They also cried so much that they didn't know who they were.

"No, you can't take Siya back." In great sorrow, the dog roared at his parents with all his might, "When her grievances are clear, take her home." ”

Siya's parents have no opinion.

This is the most unthinkable for the old man, otherwise the Goddess Sect would not have been able to fool them into sending their daughters out.

At this moment, while feeling sorry for their daughter, they thought that they were unlucky, and it was their daughter who fell into the water.

They don't dare to ask for the host's family, they just want to be as docile as possible and not make trouble, and afterwards the master's family is very kind, and then pay some money to bury Siya.

Such submissiveness and caution stung Gu Qingzhou's eyes.

Her heart shook again, and the cold sweat in her palms became even more.

"If you trust me, Siya will be in the backyard. I will give her a funeral, and before this funeral is over, I will find the murderer for you and take her back to her hometown. Gu Qingzhou said.

Her voice was hoarse.

She wanted to push harder, but she couldn't make her voice clearer.

And Siya's parents have already heard it.

They cried so much that they just nodded vaguely, not knowing if it was a promise.

The adjutants put out the backyard, set up a mourning hall, and placed Siya in it.

Gu Qingzhou remained silent.

Siya has no enmity with others, if she really offends anyone, it is also because of her and Si Xingpei, or Cheng Yu, or others, who are angry with her.

Gu Qingzhou arranged all this silently, making everything orderly.

Until Cheng Yu's words, Gu Qingzhou almost collapsed.

Cheng Yu asked Gu Qingzhou: "How old is Siya?" ”

One sentence pierced all of Gu Qingzhou's stiffness, and her tears welled up without warning, blurring her vision.

From the beginning of picking up Siya, the emotion of breaking the thread was finally connected.

Gu Qingzhou had a somewhat normal reaction.

How old is Siya? She just turned fifteen this year.

She is tall and looks like an adult, but she still has light fluff on her cheeks, and she is a little girl with yellow hair.

She is tendoned and admits death, but she is diligent and intelligent, and she is down-to-earth and willing to work.

Friends gather and disperse, sometimes they get married far away or go abroad, they will naturally separate, just like the changes of the four seasons, normal and ordinary.

But the servant will often work in the good master's house for the rest of his life, unless he is born, old, sick, or dies.

In this way, the servant lasts longer.

Gu Qingzhou had seen the old servants beside Si Xingpei, they had been loyal all their lives, and Si Xingpei also valued them and regarded them as elders.

Siya and Gouzi are Gu Qingzhou's first batch of cronies.

There was an adjutant before, named Tang Ping, but he was a person who was in charge of Si Xingpei. What really belongs to Gu Qingzhou is probably Siya and the dog.

Gu Qingzhou suddenly burst into tears.

Cheng Yu was taken aback.

It's nothing to cry, it's just that Gu Qingzhou has been very calm, as if she had died of an inconsequential little character, which made her indifferent.

Until this moment, her emotions suddenly burst.

Cheng Yu hurriedly hugged her and comforted her in a low voice. She thought that she couldn't hear the answer, but Gu Qingzhou told her in a thick nasal voice: "Just turned fifteen." ”

These four words are simple, but they want a soldering iron, which is imprinted in Cheng Yu's heart at once.

The moment it was printed, it was hot and painful, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but tremble.

Si Xingpei didn't know when he appeared, and forcibly broke Cheng Yu's arm, because Cheng Yu was holding Gu Qingzhou, more like he wanted to strangle Gu Qingzhou, so that Gu Qingzhou couldn't breathe.

After stabilizing Gu Qingzhou, Si Xingpei heard Cheng Yu say: "I'm going to cut him with a thousand knives, I'm going to chop his whole family to feed the dogs!" ”

Zhuo Xiaoyun picked her up in time.

After she left, Gu Qingzhou's tears were all gone.

She asked Si Xingpei: "How, how is the investigation?" ”

Si Xingpei was silent for a moment.

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes and looked at him quietly.

Si Xingpei waited for her attention to come over before he said: "Qingzhou, you have to understand that I am well-informed, and there are generally two situations: first, the other party is very important, and I will send someone to keep an eye on him very early, even before it happens; Second, on my own turf. ”

He said and glanced at Gu Qingzhou.

The truth is sometimes hard to accept.

And Gu Qingzhou has always been reasonable, she nodded: "I know." ”

The stone that Si Xingpei pressed on his chest slowly fell to the ground.

"Siya is just a maid in the family, she is never in my sight, and Taiyuan Mansion is not our family." The priest said.

He seems to be omnipotent in Taiyuan Mansion, but in fact, he includes those who need attention early, and their every move is in his eyes.

It's really seamless, and that needs to be in Pingcheng and Yuecheng. In Taiyuan Mansion, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's not that he can't do it, but that Ye Dujun doesn't allow it.

He made small moves, all of which were stepping on the line of Ye Overseer. Once the line is crossed, it will attract backlash, Si Xingpei is very clear.

"I swept around today, and I didn't even find Siya's last whereabouts. I asked Ye Dujun for help, and there is no news from him for the time being. Si Xingpei said.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

"I sent someone to ask for Kang Nuan." Si Xingpei said again, "Isn't Siya's final abnormality related to the gift of watches?" ”

Gu Qingzhou said: "Hmm." ”

"Kang Nuan has arrived." "Okay, I'll go meet her." Gu Qingzhou said.
