Chapter 51: Strange, Why
However, when we arrived at the Heyi Tower, we saw a group of men, women and children surrounding the Heyi Tower into a "stage".
"There are so many people who eat melons!"
"Melon? Where are the melons? "Chunhua probes the brain. I shook my head and sighed, the generation gap was too deep.
"Looks like there's a lot of excitement over here." I said so, but in fact, I had palpitations, and I went out today?
This time I asked Xiu to go ahead to cover up, don't look slender and thin, but he is tall and his arms are extraordinarily strong, he unceremoniously pushed away the crowd, we walked in smoothly, I poked out half of my head, and saw a woman holding a girl tightly in her arms, the woman was in her thirties, the girl was a little younger than me, the woman was crying and howling, and her mouth was intermittently chanting: "Daughter...... My miserable daughter...... You're finally back......"
But the girl was glazed over, and she didn't speak, like a wooden man, and she couldn't even stand unless she was holding her.
"Alas! Poor thing! Someone in the crowd pointed fingers at the mother and daughter.
Others said, "What a blessing! Came back alive! ”
"Where did you say she had gone after all these days?"
"Then who knows, you see that girl is neatly dressed, and it doesn't look like she was trafficked!"
"Alas! O iniquity!
I looked up at the plaque of the Heyi Tower, remembered the conversation I had with the boss at the wonton stall that day, and wondered if this girl could be the lost daughter of the owner of the Heyi Tower, right?
However, his daughters are back, and the reward money doesn't have to be spent, why didn't this boss come out to greet him?
"It looks like I won't be able to eat this meal today." I was frustrated.
I looked back at Chunhua and said, "How about we change the one?"
Chunhua nodded in agreement, but Qiu Shi said: "Master, the slave and maid see that the city is not peaceful, let's go back to Qingzhuxuan earlier!"
"Don't!" I played childish temper with myself, "I haven't had enough of it!" ”
Qingluan said, "Master! The slave and maid also look unlucky, why don't we go down the mountain in a few days? ”
"Alas!"
I sighed, in fact, I could have lost my temper and not go back, but now I have other plans, and it will be troublesome to take them with me.
I glanced at Xiu meaningfully, and Xiu bowed slightly.
"Then let's buy some snacks and go back!" I casually pointed to a stall and said, "Why don't you buy some of that?" ”
"No!" Qiu Shi stopped me, "Master, that's selling Poria cream." Master, you forgot, you are allergic to Poria cocos! ”
"That's right!" I licked my tongue and said, "Go buy some as you like, I'm hungry, I'll wait for you in the carriage." ”
Qiu Shi asked Qingluan and Chunhua to go together, and stayed to serve him, Qiu Shi was really cautious enough, for fear that I would run around.
"Repair! Let's go! ”
I called Xiu, who was stunned in place, and he came to his senses and followed. There seemed to be a fountain in his eyes, and I looked back at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other, and he would still be moved?
At night, Xiu and I changed into night clothes, and at the foot of the mountain, I asked Xiu, "Shall we have a competition?"
Xiu looked at me suspiciously, somehow, I felt that since I came back today, the temperature on his face seemed to be a little warmer, and there was an expression on his face.
I didn't take his changes to heart, he used to stay in a place like the Purple Maple Forest, it would be good if he wasn't crazy, but now he stays with a group of us girls, watching us fight all day long, it's normal to have changes.
Before he could react, I had already flown up the tree, and I said to him, "I dare bet ten peanuts, you can't fly me!"
Although Xiu was surprised in his eyes, he still jumped on another tree, and we jumped on the roof together, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, flying, falling, and flying again, at this time, I always have a hope, that is, to fly, fly farther......
Xiu was with me, he could have walked faster than me, but he was willing to wait for me. His loose hair disrupted my vision, and I couldn't see what expression was added to his face, so I simply didn't care, we stopped on the roof of Dali Temple, and Xiu was only one step behind me.
I pulled him down and said, "Uncle Li is very smart, he can't be discovered."
Xiu looked at me puzzled, and I whispered, "It's my master."
Xiu nodded, and his gaze fell on the courtyard.
"Actually, it's my first time here, and I don't know where the morgue is."
Xiu raised his eyebrows and pointed to a remote western courtyard.
I glanced at him and asked him how he found out, but he couldn't answer me, so I gave up.
I walked around the house for most of the time with Xiu, and after a while I landed outside the house. Jumping off the yard, the surroundings are really dilapidated, and I am very sad to look at.
"Squeak!" Pushing open the door, sure enough, there were several corpses inside, covered with white cloths. There was no palm light in the room, and I couldn't help but feel a chill down my neck.
When we closed the door, I didn't even want the moonlight to shine in, so I lit a fire and handed it to Xiu, saying, "Help me find it, the corpse during the day, thank you."
Xiu walked to the side of a corpse, lifted the white curtain, and gently closed it, his face did not change the whole time, and I had to be admired. He examined three bodies in a row, and none of them. When he got to the fourth, he opened it and nodded at me. I walked over to the corpse, and Xiu took the initiative to lift the cloth a little more.
"Gone?" I looked at the corpse's empty neck and bit my lip, if it wasn't for Uncle Li to stop me, I would have been able to see it clearly!
"That's it!" I shook my head, I'm here anyway, let's see if there are any other clues! I took the fire fold, held my breath, suppressed the urge to vomit, and looked down to see clearly.
"It should be an extremely sharp scimitar." I walked over to the man's head and brought the fire fold closer. There was a small one-inch square cross knife on the top of the corpse's head, "Hmm...... This technique ......"
Hundred Ghost Caves, it's it again.
"Humph! It's really unexpected, and it makes sense! After I finished speaking, I looked up and said to Xiu, "I still have to go somewhere." ”
"Where are you going?"
A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and the door was opened, and Uncle Li's official robe was not faded, and he stood at the door with his hands in his hands.
Xiu drew his sword on the opposite side, Uncle Li came in steadily at night, and his vision was not good at night, but I could still see two words written on his face: angry!
"Yi'er! You are disobedient. ”
In the face of Uncle Li's questioning, I took two steps back, just bumped into something, and when I looked back, it turned out that Xiu had helped me.
"Master...... You...... Insomnia? I scoffed.
Uncle Li sighed, stretched out a hand, and said, "I expected you to come!"
"Hee-hee!" I smiled humbly and stepped forward to take Uncle Li's sleeve.
Uncle Li pulled me out of the house at night, and he said, "Why is your face so white?" Did I scare you? ”
"What do you say? Scare me to death, you won't have an apprentice! ”
Uncle Li suddenly lost his breath, and the ice on his face shattered instantly, and said, "I'm sorry!"
"Not accepted! Insincere! I pursed my mouth, pretending to be about to cry, and said in a hoarse voice.
Uncle Li touched my crown at night, wiped a pitiful tear from the corner of my eye with a handkerchief, and said, "So what?"
I shook my head.
He tilted his head, his eyes fell on the morgue, then he looked back at me and said, "Do you know who died?"
"Who?" I was suddenly in good spirits, and I didn't pretend to be weak anymore.
