Chapter 14: Before the Storm

Xiao Lengyan's expression can make people's hearts twitch suddenly, if it weren't for the blood feud of the family on my body, I would definitely be intimidated by his eyes and give up the investigation of this matter.

"White Rakshasa, don't scare us, Fat Jiu and I have to figure out what is hidden behind this blood jade cicada no matter what." Zhuo Yifan said, took another step in the direction of Xiao Lengyan, and asked with a serious face: "You know, it should be a lot more than us, right?" ”

Xiao Lengyan didn't answer, but still looked at Zhuo Yifan.

"I, Zhuo Yifan, can't be a bastard, live my life in such a mess, I have to figure out what happened before I fell unconscious, even if I die in the end to find out about it, I don't care." Zhuo Yifan tilted his head slightly and stared at Xiao Lengyan.

After Xiao Leng listened to this, he turned his face sideways and looked at me, as if he wanted to know what I thought.

"I'm the same as Zhuo Yifan, I have to know who forced my grandfather to death and killed everyone in the village." I also looked at Xiao Leng with great determination.

Xiao Leng lowered his eyes, not knowing if it was because of disappointment.

The advice he gave, no one between me and Zhuo Yifan wants to listen.

However, instead of persuading us, he lifted his slender fingers and pointed them at the newspaper on the table.

"Seven pieces in total." He said.

"Seven? Seven Little Blessings? "It's easy for me to associate these seven pieces of blood jade cicada with the old lady back then.

"Fat Jiu, do you also know the Seven Little Blessings?" Zhuo Yifan was a little surprised.

I nodded, but because I had promised Fu Lao that I couldn't tell the relationship between my family and Hongru, I could only stop talking.

"I don't know a lot of things, but in short, I want to find out the person who is going to take away the Blood Jade Cicada." I quickly digressed the subject.

"Soon, there will be a clue." Xiao Leng lowered his eyes and looked at the few fragments of newspaper scattered on the ground, as if he was talking to himself.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhuo Yifan still wanted to ask, but Xiao Lengyan turned around and lay down on the bed directly, no longer talking to us.

"Hello? Feed? White Rakshasa? Zhuo Yifan screamed several times in a row, as if he hadn't heard it, and closed his eyes as if he was ready to sleep.

"Let's go." Looking at Xiao Lengyan's appearance, it was estimated that it was difficult to ask anything again, so he dragged this Zhuo Yifan out of Xiao Lengyan's room.

Coming out of his room, I opened the door for him.

Zhuo Yifan was a little unwilling: "That stinky boy, deliberately, said that half of it would be left and half left, who does he want to die in a hurry?" ”

"He's here now, and he'll ask tomorrow." Although I don't have much time with Xiao Lengyan, but, according to his own personality, we are in such a hurry to ask, maybe he will leave here directly, and then our clues will be broken.

"It's not early, let's go back to the room and rest." I said thoughtfully.

"Well, what about this thing?" Zhuo Yifan looked at the blood jade cicada in his hand.

"I'd better keep it myself." I said and reached out to take the blood jade cicada back, but Zhuo Yifan did not object.

We went back to our respective rooms with each other's thoughts, but this night, I just tossed and turned with the blood jade cicada in my hand, and I couldn't sleep anyway.

The next day, I got out of bed early, washed up and went to help in the kitchen.

I have been following him for two years in the kitchen, I don't know what his name is, I only know that his surname is Luo, although his temper is a little strong, but he is actually a good person.

Originally, he thought that it would be good if I could only stay here for half a month, but now, he has become more and more gentle with me from the beginning, but he is not forgiving.

From time to time, I scolded me for being a fool, saying that I wanted to be a big court, it was useless to just look at the books given by Zhuo Yifan, these rote things can only be the foundation, if you want to make great progress, you must go out and see the world.

"Grandpa Luo, today's breakfast, haven't you been in the pot yet?" I went into the kitchen and found that the fire in the kitchen was not burning.

Grandpa Luo was holding a newspaper from the city, holding a magnifying glass, looking at it carefully.

In addition to cooking every day, he likes to read books and newspapers, but his eyes are not very good, and he doesn't deserve to have eyes or anything, so he likes to hold a magnifying glass.

"Grandpa Luo? Grandpa Luo? I screamed twice in a row, and Grandpa Luo was clever and put down the newspaper.

I curiously glanced at the newspaper, and saw a striking headline, "The disembowelment murderer strikes again, and the bloody case reappears", which should be the murder case that happened in the shantytown last night.

"Oh, Xiao Jiu, quick, make a fire." Grandpa Luo just estimated that he was so engrossed reading the newspaper that he forgot that he was about to eat, so he hurriedly urged me to get rice.

I nodded, methodically began to light the fire first, and then washed the rice in the pot, and when the rice was still gurgling in the pot, I washed the dishes, chopsticks and vegetables, and now these things are very simple for me, it is simply done in one go.

And, when the porridge is ready, I grabbed the hot porcelain bowl with my bare hands and went out, and I didn't feel hot, and I grabbed things very steadily.

Now, I don't know how much this seemingly inconspicuous progress will help me in the future.

"Let's have a side dish." Grandpa Luo handed me the side dishes one by one, and I took them and went to the dining hall next door.

But it's very strange, under normal circumstances, at this point, everyone should have come to the same place, but today it is just a few young guys.

I was worried that the meal would be cold for a while, and Du Chaofeng would trouble me again, so I personally went to the hall to invite Du Chaofeng.

But when he arrived in the hall, there was no trace of Du Chaofeng.

To say that this Du Chaofeng, although he often naps during work, he has never been late, and today is a little bit, but he has not yet arrived in the shop.

Originally, the guys in this pawnshop were lazy, but now Du Chaofeng didn't come to work, and these guys simply played dice in the front hall after breakfast.

In their words, it means that there are no guests anyway, and it is better to have a good time standing stupidly.

So they spent the afternoon in the antechamber, and in the evening, before it was completely dark outside, they began to drink without the slightest rule.

"Don't drink here, let's go to the dining hall and drink." I glanced at the antiques on the shelves and reminded them.

These guys have drunk a lot, and their eyes are a little sluggish.

Usually Zhuo Yifan is close to me, and Xiao Lengyan often "comes out" for me, and they don't dare to do anything to me, but after a few cups of horse urine today, my mouth began to be unclean.

"Damn, what are you,, what's the matter with you? Roll on! "The one who spoke was Chen Qiang, who was in charge of dismantling the goods in the Qing Confucian, in his thirties, because he was the oldest in this group of guys, so these guys called him Brother Qiang.

It is precisely because most of the guys here call him Brother Qiang that he really regards himself as the big brother here, Du Chaofeng is not in the shop, so he dares to lead people to drink in this front hall.

"You've drunk too much here, what if you drop these antiques?" I reminded by pointing to the antiques on the shelves.

I thought that Chen Qiang also knew that the value of these things would at least converge a little, but who knew that instead of restraining, he walked towards me in a leisurely manner.

"Don't think that you are the dog next to Zhuo Shao, you show off your power here every day, without Zhuo Shao, you can't enter the door of the Confucian." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed hard against my shoulder.

Drunk people, some of them have a brute force, I was pushed and swayed, and the whole person took half a step back, and as a result, I felt that I had bumped into a person behind me.

Before I could turn around, I heard a low, slightly hoarse voice behind me: "I didn't know that this pawnshop has now become a tavern for you people to drink and have fun." ”

"Big, big, big pilgrimage." Before I turned around to see who the person behind me was, I saw that Chen Qiang's face changed, as if he had seen a ghost.

Because, this great court usually stays in Hongru for about a week, but this time, he actually came back in three days, and Chen Qiang was frightened and desperately beckoned to the little guy behind him.

The boys hurriedly began to pack away the bottles, and I hurriedly stepped out of the way.

Qing Confucian's big court is called Liu Shuo, he is in his fifties this year, and he rarely sees him in the two years he has been in Qing Confucianism, and he has always put on such a serious and cold expression in this shop, so that people don't dare to look at him at all.

"Xiao Jiu'er, you've grown a lot taller."

I was bowing my head and retreating to the side, but I heard a very familiar voice, raised my head and looked behind the great court, and found that it was actually Fu Lao.

Since Fu Lao sent me here two years ago, he hasn't appeared again, and now when I see him again, I am a little overwhelmed, I can only look at him and smirk.

"You people, you don't have to come here in the future." The Great Chaofeng scolded angrily.

"Da Chaofeng, I'm wrong, it's my fault, I'm confused, it's almost the New Year, I'm thinking that everyone has worked hard, so?" When Chen Qiang saw the Great Chaofeng, the wine also woke up for seven or eight minutes, and he bowed vigorously to the Great Chaofeng and apologized.

Da Chaofeng is a person who says nothing, no matter how many years you have been in Qingru, he has no mercy to say.

"Get out!" The Great Priest scolded in a low voice.

Chen Qiang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at the expression of the great court, he could only glare at me viciously, and then walked out of the front hall angrily.

Those guys also left immediately, these people hit the muzzle of the gun, usually they don't care about it, but they didn't expect to lose their jobs today.

"You go out too." The court glanced at me and motioned for me to go out.

I hurriedly nodded and exited the antechamber.

After leaving the front hall, I found a number of fresh faces standing in the corridor outside, moving things towards the backyard, not knowing what to do.

"Fat Nine, come here." Zhuo Yifan stood by the arch of the backyard and beckoned to me mysteriously.

"What's wrong?" Today, he hasn't appeared, I thought this young master was out to play again, but I didn't expect him to be in the backyard.

And, looking at his expression, it seems that he has discovered something extraordinary.
