The silver bell hides the secret
I nodded in a daze, and replied, "Well, I've seen it all."
After a pause, he choked up again: "Qiang Di, who is this painting from, and whose story is it painted from?"
She didn't reply to me, just glanced at me fiercely, and then received the album under her wide sleeve.
I refused to give up, grabbed the hem of her clothes as she turned around, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Me?"
She lowered her eyes, thoughtful, and then replied softly, "An interesting person."
She was leaving, but I didn't let go, so I immediately got up from the ground, grabbed her wrist tightly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
She winked at me again and laughed, "An interesting person naturally wants to do interesting things."
I didn't understand these words, and I didn't have the heart to spend time with her, so I increased the strength of my hands, lowered my voice, and said with a cold face: "You once said that you are my biological mother's old friend, and you are an old acquaintance with me, but why did I never meet you when I was in Beiqiu?" The first time you and I met was in Wushuochuan. At that time, I was assassinated by assassins and almost died, but you saved me, I am very grateful, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay you. But I don't understand why I've always had trouble with you since you appeared, and I've had strange things happen one after another. Every time you show up, it's accompanied by a weird bell sound, and then I get a headache for no reason, and then I have an accident, and then I run into you. Just this time, if I fell to the bottom of the lake, you can find me in time and rescue me, which is too much of a coincidence. Do you dare to say that what happened to me has nothing to do with you? Do you know something, or do you do something? ”
She vigorously broke free of my hand, folded her arms around her chest, and sneered: "Do you still know that I fished you up from the bottom of the lake, and you did this to your savior?"
I was choked by her words, choked for a moment, then lowered my hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was so rude." Thank you for saving me, I will repay him if he has the opportunity one day. ”
She waved her hand and said very generously: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you, after all, I'm not a stingy person."
"But these things should have something to do with you, right?"
Seeing that her mood was relaxed, I asked again.
Qiang Di smiled bitterly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and replied loudly: "I really didn't do anything." The dangers you encounter have nothing to do with me, they are all the calamities of your life, and they are the difficulties you should encounter. As for why you met me, this is your blessing and the fate between you and me. I can find you because of the string of bells in your hand, and I can naturally find you if I follow the sound of the bells. ”
I was skeptical: "Bell?"
Qiang Di fixed his head: "Yes, it's because of the bell." Hey, where's the string of bells in your hand? ”
She looked away from my face, looked down at my wrist, tensed up, and exclaimed, "Where?" You won't fall underwater. ”
I shook my head, lifted the hem of my skirt and showed her right ankle, "The bell is tied to my foot."
Qiang Di seemed to be very angry, rolled his eyes at me, and snorted, "I have such a precious bell, and you actually tied it to my feet!!"
I put down the hem of my skirt and said, "The thing is mine, I can tie it wherever I want, and you have to take care of it."
Qiang Di sneered, and ordered me in a stiff tone: "This bell was originally mine, of course I have the right to take care of it." No, you have to take it off for me and put it back on, just on this wrist, you tie it to your feet, I'm afraid I will be smoked by your stinky feet. ”
I didn't listen to her, and only focused on the ownership of the bell.
"Your bells? This is clearly left to me by my mother, and I have worn it since I was a baby, what do you say is yours! ”
She said that the bell was hers, and I had 120,000 doubts about it, how the personal thing I had carried since I was a child had become hers.
Qiang Di smiled brightly, his red lips opened lightly, and he said lightly: "Of course it's mine, how can your mother have such a baby."
As she spoke, she raised her right hand, and the sleeve of her dress slid to reveal her wrist, which was exactly the same as mine.
"I remember when I was in Wushuochuan, I showed you the bell in my hand, when you asked me where my bell came from, I didn't answer you, and now I tell you, this thing was originally mine, and the string in your hand is still a pair."
Indeed, I had seen the bell before, when she had taken me captive and pressed me for a secret edict. At that time, she urged me to hand over some secret edicts, and I once recognized her as a minion of Buliu Guyuan.
In this case, the bell is likely hers. But none of that matters, and it's not for me to care.
My heart trembled, and I suddenly remembered something very important, so I hurriedly asked, "Did you see Duobu on the way to save me?" If you've seen her, you should remember what she looked like. ”
I just looked at the album and forgot about the safety of Duobu, which really shouldn't be.
"Don't worry, she's fine, she's much smarter than you."
I rejoiced, "Really? So where is she now? ”
"I don't know, but it's supposed to be fine, maybe it's going to move the rescuers. Maybe right now, she's leading a bunch of people all over the world looking for you. ”
"That's good, that's good, she's fine."
I breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved.
She turned around leisurely, walked to the bookcase with light steps, flicked her red sleeves, and took out the album in her sleeves again.
Qiang Di's slender fingers groped for the album, but she was not in a hurry to open it, her expression was delicate, her attitude was calm, and finally her eyes stayed on the partridge bird on the cover.
As soon as I took a step, she raised her head when she heard the sound, her eyes wandered, and she asked me with a smile: "How is it, these two partridge birds are well drawn, are they vivid and vivid?"
I looked at the album for a moment, nodding admittedly.
She smiled even more, and stroked her palm: "It seems that my painting skills have improved again."
My curiosity was aroused again, and I pointed to the album in shock, and stammered, "This, this is what you painted?"
She was very proud, and replied yes to the ground.
"Of course! Who else but me can draw such a good work. ”
I walked over to her, and said in a very gentle tone, "Sister Qiangdi, what are you talking about in this painting, can you tell me?"
She leaned forward slightly, squinted at me with her apricot eyes, and when she saw that I looked earnest, as if she had moved, she grinned and hooked her fingers at me to get closer.
I was secretly happy, and when the stride approached, she flatly refused: "No."
After finishing speaking, he sat back in his chair elegantly and added unhurriedly: "Haven't you heard that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed." You will naturally know what you should know, and if you don't, you should know less. ”
"But I've already seen that album, and that day machine is half leaked, and it's okay to leak the other half. Rather than hide your head and show your tail and arouse suspicion, it is better to let me know everything. ”
Qiang Di was displeased, raised his eyes at me, frowned, and said, "Then why do I want you to know, and how do you know." Besides, even if you've seen the album, it's not a big deal, you can't figure it out horizontally and vertically, and it's a waste of time to read it. ”
I was angry and anxious, and said word by word: "This matter has something to do with me, but I am kept in the dark, and I should know the truth."
"It's annoying!"
She turned the page of the album irritably, and no matter what I said, she turned a deaf ear and did not reply to me.
I courted her, but she ignored her, but leisurely flipped through the album to admire her painting skills and self-absorbed.
I kept my mouth shut, but I thought to myself.
Looking around, there are no precious objects in this room except books, and I think that this Qiang Di is probably a bookworm and has a habit of collecting books. If she values these books so much, will she give in if I threaten them?
I got the idea and deliberately reminded her, "You don't want to say yes, in that case, then it's no wonder to me."
She glanced at me, frowned, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
I laughed without saying a word, and when I was unprepared, I ran to the bookshelf, and with a cursory sweep of my eyes, I took a particularly precious book from the shelf and held it in my hand.
Qiang Di was shocked, bounced up from the chair, hurriedly rushed to this side, and beckoned again and again: "Put it down, put it down, don't touch my books, they are all rare and unique books, and if they are broken, there will be no second one."
I raised an eyebrow and smiled, and that was exactly what I wanted.
"Well, this one-of-a-kind book should be very precious and rare. Heck, you said if this is missing a page or two, mutilated, incomplete, is it still precious? ”
Qiang Di gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "If you break my book, I will destroy your hand."
I pursed my lips, held the book high as a bargaining chip, and said scoundrelly: "I'm not afraid, I'll tear up your book before you abolish my hand." If you want me to put it down, you have to tell me everything I want to know, otherwise, hum! ”
I was about to tear up the book, but Qiang Di was really fooled, and his shrill voice was piercing, and he shouted at me: "If you tear up my book, I will kill you!!"
I stuck out my tongue and provoked: "I'm not afraid. Unless you promise, and if you do, I'll give you the book back. ”
She pursed her lips tightly, hesitantly, and she was slow to agree, as if this book was not enough to make her up her mind.
I glanced left and right, and finally fixed my eyes on the direction of the candlestick, and while she was not paying attention, I ran over a few steps and picked up the fire fold that was resting under the candlestick, and threatened with confidence: "If you don't say anything more, then your room of books will not be protected."
"Don't move, you put down the fire fold!"
As I expected, she is really a bookworm, she loves books like her life, and her face is so distressed that her face is white. Besides, I didn't really want to burn her books, but I just scared and scared her, but fortunately, Qiang Di was already serious.
She sighed and said softly, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it." Some things, in fact, have their own fixed numbers in the dark, sooner rather than later, knowing the whole situation in advance may not be a good thing. If I tell you, you will act, and if you do something that messes the order of cause and effect, not only will you, the listener, suffer, but also the person I am talking about, and some innocent people will suffer......"
I snapped my ears and waved to stop.
"It's really, do you say it or not?"
She was more impatient than me, and said hatefully, "Didn't I say it, Tianji-"
