Chapter 20, Suspicion
Gu Nansang followed all the way from the alley where Zhou Qingxiao disappeared, and there were flower sellers, bun sellers, jewelry sellers in front of him, everything. There were a lot of pedestrians, and there were many people in gray clothes, and she was dazzled, and suddenly she lost her goal.
But fortunately, Feng Jiao has always been dressed up in a fancy way, Gu Nansang carefully identified her, and soon found her, and Zhou Qingxiao was not far away, but he just picked up a silver hairpin on the stall and looked at it, as if he didn't follow her.
Gu Nansang stood in the corner and waited for a while, seeing that Feng Jiao was about to walk into another alley, Zhou Qingxiao suddenly moved, although his eyes were casual, his footsteps did not stop, and he followed Feng Jiao in.
ββ¦β¦ , this Xu Fengzhu won't be ...... with that widow" Gu Nansang felt that the three views exploded.
The system was silent and did not comment, but reminded: "They are going far, you go out from the second alley on the left, you can take a shortcut." β
Gu Nansang hesitated for two seconds.
She doesn't make any comments on Feng Jiao's personality, because that's none of her business. Similarly, Zhou Qingxiao is just a stranger picked up halfway to her, although they have been together for a while, but after all, he is an independent person, even if he has amnesia, he has the ability to act independently.
Therefore, he doesn't seem to have any need to have the right to do anything.
But the thought only lasted two seconds.
He borrowed to live in her house, how could he engage in these moths that corrupted the doorway?
Gu Nansang thought that this reason was tenable, raised his eyebrows, and raised his heels.
The alley was very narrow, and there were people piling up abandoned debris, Gu Nansang squeezed over sideways, and finally turned into the alley, checking left and right, but there was no one around.
"System, I said that your news is not ......?"
"Cousin, what are you doing?" But suddenly I heard a joking voice.
Gu Nansang was startled and frightened, but he still had to pretend to be dazed on his face: "Lie down...... Xu Fengzhu, why are you here? β
Zhou Qingxiao blinked and said innocently: "I'm not here, I was walking well on the street, but I saw that you came in alone, and I was worried about you, so I came along." β
...... "Obviously I came with you!"
Gu Nansang didn't believe in a single punctuation mark.
But she couldn't refute it, so she nodded suspiciously: "Oh, I'll just walk around." Listen to my brother, you went out to shop by yourself, so are you done? They're waiting at the bottom of the mountain. β
"That's it." Zhou Qingxiao smiled out of a mouthful of white teeth, suddenly raised his hand, and said, "This is the hairpin I chose for my aunt, do you look good?" β
Gu Nansang saw that this silver hairpin was simple and generous, carved with ruyi patterns, and the hairpin head was a round pearl, which was very suitable for Xu's low-key style.
Zhou Qingxiao scratched his head and smiled a little shyly: "I've been here for so long, and I haven't given my aunt any gifts, but I still want to thank my cousin for giving me pocket money." β
If Gu Nansang hadn't been on guard in the morning, if it was Xu Shi, he would definitely believe his words, and he would have been deceived by this harmless smile.
Gu Nansang couldn't catch his pigtails, and there was no definite evidence that there was any connection between him and Feng Jiao, so he looked at the hairpin and said perfunctorily absentmindedly: "Well, let's go." β
She turned around and left, not seeing a fine light flashing in Zhou Qingxiao's eyes.
The two left the crowd and walked side by side on the road down the mountain.
"That, cousin." Gu Nansang cleared his throat and spoke: "You have lived at home for a long time, do you feel depressed?" β
Zhou Qingxiao held back a smile in his heart, and pretended to be casual on his face: "Huh? No, I've been teaching Beihuai to read and practice calligraphy recently, and I go to the field to help my aunt do things when I have time, which is very fulfilling. β
Gu Nansang struggled to organize the language: "No, I mean...... Well, well, there are some things, like the roses in my backyard, although they look beautiful, but they have thorns, and it hurts to prick, so don't pick them easily. β
The more he talked, the more chaotic it became, and Gu Nansang had a serious illusion that he was giving a physiology lesson to children.
Zhou Qingxiao lowered his head, the smile on the corner of his lips was almost to the root of his ears, and he nodded his face: "Well, it makes sense, cousin, you are right." β
Gu Nansang was suspicious, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet his bright eyes whose smile had not faded.
ββ¦β¦β
retarded.
Gu Nansang was annoyed and ashamed, and walked away, walking like flying.
She didn't know that it was the funniest thing for a nine-year-old child like herself to give a physiology lesson to a fifteen-year-old boy and try to enlighten people correctly.
Rao is Zhou Qingxiao's acting skills are outstanding, and he can't help but laugh and hold back his stomach.
If he knew a word, it would be very appropriate.
It's called, and the contrast is cute.
The two met with Gu Dongqing, got into Mu Yao's car, and returned to Lotus Village.
Xu really liked the silver hairpin, although he said that Zhou Qingxiao broke the fee and did not save, but he soon returned to the room, and when he came out again, he had already put the silver hairpin in his hair.
The attitude towards Zhou Qingxiao is a little kinder than before.
Gu Nansang looked at her mother and laughed, thin tail lines appeared at the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel that her cheap daughter who came halfway was a little derelict in her duties.
Even Xu Fengzhu is stupid. Everyone knows how to be likable, but she is busy with those things all day long, ignoring her mother.
Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt that Xu Fengzhu was a flattering villain.
Zhou Qingxiao, who was glared at inexplicably: "......"
I always feel that this cousin is chattering.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the last day of the temple fair, the Gu family's oden was sold out early, Gu Dongqing was rarely so happy, took Gu Nansang and the three of them, found a noodle restaurant, asked for four large bowls of wontons, and said that he wanted to treat him.
Gu Nansang was funny, Gu Dongqing was such a thrifty person, it was also rare, a few people had lunch, and they walked around in pairs.
"Cousin, go shopping by yourself if you want to see anything, don't keep following me." Gu Nansang waved his hand like a fly, frowning and disgusting the fart behind him.
Zhou Qingxiao smiled harmlessly, his clear and bright peach blossom eyes blinked, and his voice was crisp: "I'll go wherever my cousin goes, Beihuai told me, when you go out, you have to protect you well." β
Gu Nansang really wanted to part with him in her heart, and then see if he would find another chance to meet Feng Jiao, so she would catch him.
But this oil and salt are not entered, and the clichΓ© is also a punctuation mark that cannot be pried out, which makes Gu Nansang very helpless.
She thought about it, but she really didn't bother to pay attention to it, as long as this person didn't affect the Gu family, she didn't want to delve too deeply. Thinking of this, she was also a little relieved, lowered her head and walked around the temple fair seriously, after all, it was rare to have more money at hand, and she was going to bring something back for both Xu and Gu Beihuai.
She chose for a while, Zhou Qingxiao stepped forward with a lot of eyes, took all the selected things in his hands, and at the same time flatteringly asked Gu Nansang if he wanted to rest.
Gu Nansang waved his hand, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of a gong ringing again.
This voice was also heard yesterday, and it is not surprising that the procession of the Half Moon Temple has come out again.
She turned around, and sure enough, she saw the little girl dressed as Guanyin solemnly spilling water from the willow branches, interacting with the people gathered around her.
"There are so many people, and they are still so tight, and they are not afraid of falling......" She was thoughtful, and was about to raise her foot to get out of the way, but was suddenly pulled away by a strong force.
"Be careful." But it was Zhou Qingxiao's voice.
Gu Nansang was puzzled, and was about to look at him, but suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd not far away, and then a voice full of anger sounded: "The government is handling the case, and the idlers are avoiding!" β
A group of officers and soldiers with sabers and wearing official mansions rushed out, and the onlookers who ate melons dared to stop them and gave way one after another.
The officers and soldiers rushed to the team of nuns in the Half Moon Nunnery with murderous vigour, and the man at the head pulled out a long knife and shouted: "There is a Jiangyang thief who pretended to be a nun and mixed into the Half Moon Nunnery. β
The nuns carrying the sedan chair suddenly panicked, and put Xiao Guanyin on the ground with all hands and feet, because no one was in charge, and no one dared to come forward to negotiate.
The officers and soldiers were not so good at talking, and with a wave of their hands, the leaders surrounded the nuns.
"Go into the nunnery, and the official will be examined one by one!"
It wasn't until the group of people left in a hurry that the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed, and there was a gap in the blocked road. Many people had a bad premonition, so they stopped thinking early and went down the mountain.
Gu Nansang casually pulled out his wrist from Zhou Qingse's hand, frowned, and said, "How could the nunnery be involved with the Jiangyang thief?" β
"The government will handle the case, who knows." Zhou Qingxiao answered, looked at Gu Nansang with concern, and said, "Cousin, you didn't get hurt anywhere, did you?" If we had gone back earlier, lest there be any complications. β
Gu Nansang nodded rarely, and agreed: "Let's go, the land of right and wrong is not suitable for a long time." β
The two of them stood on the way down the mountain and waited for Gu Dongqing and Mu Yao to come back.
After waiting for a while, it was the officers and soldiers who had entered the Half Moon Nunnery to search before came out, and the person who led the way: "I came to investigate rashly this time, in order to catch the big thief off guard, and I didn't intend to disturb the pure land of Buddhism, and I asked the teacher to bear with me." β
A group of nuns sent the officers and soldiers straight to the way down the mountain, and one of them was kind and kind, folded his hands, and said slowly: "We waited for the Buddhist sect to cultivate, originally to help the poor people in the world, although the government took a different path, the result is similar to ours. Therefore, there is no need to disturb, if the official still needs something, we should do our best to help. β
The two exchanged two words of greeting, said goodbye to each other and left.
Coincidentally, Gu Dongqing also appeared on the other end.
Gu Nansang's eyes lit up, and he stood on tiptoe and waved at him.
But when the officers and soldiers passed by, they exchanged the details of a look with Zhou Qingxiao.
The officers and soldiers shook their heads slightly, Zhou Qingxiao bowed slightly, and the two sides passed by.
"Brother, it looks like a mess here, some time ago it was said that there were robbers, I think it's better to go home early."
Gu Dongqing nodded: "I also have this intention, the temple fair is over, we have to go back to settle the score, and prepare the oden that will go to the city to set up a stall tomorrow." β
The four of them rushed back to Lotus Village.
