Chapter Seventy-Eight: Strange Disease
I stayed in the restaurant for most of the day, and after dark, Long Xuanling and I got up to leave.
And Gu Shaoting and the others have never come out since they entered the Ning Mansion, but we have heard a lot of news in this restaurant.
First of all, Miss Nan Ning suddenly became ill two months ago, and after the onset of the disease, Master Ning first asked a doctor, and then a warlock.
The masters in Jiangcheng were all invited, and no one could "cure" Miss Ning, so a reward order was posted, inviting demon hunters and Taoist priests from all over the country to come.
"Miss Luo, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now? "Mingyue and Chai Shao are waiting for us downstairs in the inn.
"It's okay, just take a casual walk around the neighborhood." I saw that there were still people eating in the inn, so I made an excuse.
"Miss Luo, today I asked Chai Shao about some things about the Ning family." Mingyue looked around before she lowered her voice and said to us.
Chai Shao also nodded, but motioned for us to go upstairs and talk in the room.
A few of us hurried upstairs, and as a result, what Chai Shao and the others found was similar to what Long Xuanling and I had inquired about.
"We all know that." I also told them the truth that today we will find out the news in a restaurant near Ningfu.
"Then why don't you take us along." Chai Shao looked at me and Long Xuanling, and he should have thought that now we are also accomplices, but Long Xuanling and I acted alone.
"There are so many people." Long Xuanling said four words simply.
Chai Shao listened, and nodded, he could understand, after all, Long Xuanling and I were the key criminals who were rewarded.
"Oh, by the way, there's another piece of news that you definitely haven't found out." Chai Shao said, walked to the door, poked his head out and glanced out of the door, before sitting back in his position.
"The young lady of the Ning family suddenly fell ill two months ago after she was engaged to Commander Zhang's son, do you think this matter will have anything to do with Commander Zhang's family?" Chai Shao raised his eyes and thought carefully.
"Tomorrow evening, I'll know when I go into Ning Mansion and take a look." After Long Xuanling finished speaking, he asked Chai Shao and Mingyue to go back to their rooms to rest.
We are also tired these two days, so we will rest early tonight.
"Okay then." Chai Shao obviously wanted to discuss something with Long Xuanling, but seeing that Long Xuanling didn't want to say more, he could only get up and go back to rest.
As soon as he and Mingyue left, Long Xuanling took off the hat with tiredness in his eyes.
I dragged him to the bedside and gave him a loose coat so that he could rest early.
However, after nightfall, Jiangcheng was still extremely lively, lying on the bed, listening to the sound of cars outside the window and on the street, I fell asleep tiredly.
The next day, early in the morning, Chai Shao hurriedly knocked on the door of my room and Long Xuanling's room, and when I opened the door, I saw him frowning solemnly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him with such an expression, something must have happened.
"Miss Luo, today when I took this reward order and went to Ning Mansion to confirm the time of meeting, the subordinates at the gate of that mansion told us to wait for another day." Chai Shao looked very angry when he said this.
"Really?" I thought of yesterday, Gu Shaoting and Liu Yusheng entered the Ning Mansion.
Presumably they saw some signs and were dispelling evil spirits for Master Ning, right?
"And, I saw the car from the Deepavali Pavilion!" Chai Shao said, his brows frowning even tighter: "If the Demon Slayer Pavilion interferes in this matter, I'm afraid?" ”
"Deepavali Pavilion, whether you can manage it or not, it's not certain." Long Xuanling sat at the round table, took a sip of tea, and said lightly.
"Dragons? No, Mr. Xuan, how do you know they can't handle it? The Deepavali Pavilion is also famous in Beijing, I have been in the Deepavali Pavilion for many years, and the senior brothers are really capable. Chai Shao said, seemingly a little deflated, feeling that this time, we must not even have a chance to play.
"If they can deal with it, and there is a comprehensive method, do you think the people of the Ning family will let you wait another day?" Long Xuanling asked rhetorically.
Chai Shao blinked his eyes and thought about it carefully, as if this was the case.
"Wait." Long Xuanling said in a deep voice, and Chai Shao could only nod silently.
All day, we stayed in the house to rest, and at night, Long Xuanling stood in front of the window, his lips moved slightly, and he made an extremely low sound.
The sound was like the chirping of birds, and it was like some kind of code.
"Long Xuanling? This is? I looked at him quizzically.
"If Lingwu is nearby, you might be able to hear it." Long Xuanling turned around again as he spoke, and sat back in his chair.
"Really? So you give it another try? When I saw Long Xuanling, I screamed, so I stopped, and hurriedly asked him to try again.
"It's a sound it can hear, and it's also heard by those demon hunters with superb skills, so it's a risk." Long Xuanling said, took out the demon pill again, and continued to transform.
I got up and walked to the window and looked out, thinking that maybe Lingwu could hear me, and if I stood here, it might see me right away.
Standing in front of the window, there is nothing but the bustling street market below.
"Long Xuanling, you say, little uncle, will they leave again after arriving in Jiangcheng without hearing the news of Lu Dashuai?" I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
"This?" Long Xuanling turned his face to look at me, and when he saw that I was depressed, he said, "Don't worry, I will always find it." ”
"Hmm." I nodded silently.
Although I felt that there was little hope, I left the window open all night, and I borrowed pen and ink from the shopkeeper, and drew a black crow on paper and pasted it on the window.
However, I never expected that this painting was not waiting for Lingwu, but Gu Shaoting!
Early in the morning, I accompanied Mingyue downstairs for breakfast, Chai Shao went to Ningfu to inquire about the news, and Long Xuanling was in the house to transform the demon pill.
I bought meat buns and bean juice for Mingyue, and I watched the people coming and going outside the street in a daze.
At this moment, I noticed that across the street, there was a man dressed in dark clothes, and the blindfold on his face made me notice him at a glance.
And he just stood far away, even though my face was veiled, he still recognized me at a glance, and looked at me quietly.
I immediately stood up, and Mingyue looked at me suspiciously: "What's the matter, Miss Luo?" ”
"It's nothing, Mingyue, you sit here for a while, and I'll be back soon." With that, I hurried across the street.
When Gu Shaoting saw me running towards him, he glanced around, and when I walked in front of him, he pulled me into the alley.
"Are you alright?" The first thing he asked, when he asked, was if I was okay.
I nodded at once, and looked at him again, and not long after we parted, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and there was an indescribable sorrow in his eyes.
