Chapter 8: Ziqing's Illusion (2)
Tang Xi's words made Nian Tong's back chill, and he hurriedly put Xun back to his original place.
"Silly girl. It's a fantasy, and even if you turn it upside down, you won't be able to change anything. I'll tease you, look at what you're afraid of. Tang Xi suddenly laughed, squatted down and picked up Xun, and looked at it carefully.
Nian Tong Qi knot, this person always seems to like to play with her: "Then tell me, what do you see?" ”
Tang Xi was silent for a while before he said, "This Xun is poisonous. ”
"Poison? It's the man... Poisoning yourself yourself? ”
"Not necessarily. Let's go, follow and have a look. ”
A hundred years ago, Huashan seemed to be not strictly controlled, pedestrians from the south and north could come to visit Zhenyue Palace or visit the scenery of Huashan, these few men who were like smoke, especially the one who blew Xun, dressed differently from others, thought to be their leader. They tied up the women they had brought and threw them into a large carriage, and then rode quickly down the mountain to Jianshun City.
The beggars' light skills are famous, Tang Xi wants to keep up, but Niantong is helpless. As a last resort, the two had to return to the grocery store, hoping to find some clues.
The grocery store was already in disarray, and Nian Tong carefully walked up to the attic, there were only two simple rooms, one was larger, which seemed to be the owner of the grocery store, and the other was smaller, and elegantly decorated, which should be Ziqing's. She pushed open the door, and the room was also messy, and there were blood stains, thinking that those women were placed here just now. The smell of blood was pungent, Nian Tong frowned and probed into the room, and suddenly saw a small wooden box on the bed, with delicate patterns and carvings on it.
"This is..."Nian Tong stepped forward, picked up the wooden box, and opened it.
A jade hairpin appeared in front of her, which was the jade hairpin she held in her hand when she first met Ziqing. It looks like she treasures it, so why didn't she take it away?
"Aunt Xiaodao." A sudden sound came from behind her, which startled Niantong, she looked at Tang Xi angrily, but handed the jade hairpin in her hand.
"Na, look at it, is there anything to break through in this jade hairpin."
Tang Xi looked at it carefully, rubbed it repeatedly with his hand, and then put it under his nose and sniffed the smell.
"It turns out that the poison on the Xun was under Ziqing." He shrugged his shoulders undeniably, "Don't look any further, it's poisonous on it, it's the same kind as the one on Xun." ”
"But Ziqing has no reason to be poisoned. And she's not ......"
"She's not crazy. That man didn't want to take her away, don't you think it's strange? If she wanted to live, she would have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, acting like she wouldn't affect the man's plans. Then take the opportunity to poison it. ”
"There's something wrong with what you say, if she wants to live, why did she go out with her and kill herself?"
Tang Xi paused and said, "Maybe this is the truth we are looking for." ”
"Perhaps... Is it because she's in love with that man? ”
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings suddenly began to vibrate violently, Tang Xi grabbed Nian Tong and said softly: "Don't panic, it's just that the illusion is starting to collapse." ”
"Collapsed? But we haven't..."
"Didn't you just say that?"
Nian Tong suddenly fell silent, because, Ziqing fell in love with that man? It seems that everything suddenly makes sense. The man who blows Xun comes to Huashan in order to find what he needs, and that need happens to be in the grocery store, no, or the women who have bought things in the grocery store. In order to please the daughter of the grocery store owner, he gave a jade hairpin to Ziqing. Ziqing fell in love with him at first sight, and when she went to find him one day, she suddenly heard his secret, and she was powerless to resist, so she pretended to be crazy and stupid, and decided to poison the man and martyrdom again?
What a silly woman...
But she always felt that something was wrong, and the mystery seemed to be unsolved......
For a while, the brain was blank, and when I opened my eyes again, I was already in the snowy Huashan again. It was not yet dawn, but the two of them had no sleep.
"What the hell is the secret in the grocery store... And why were the women taken away? "It was Nian Tong who spoke.
"You just want to break your head, you can't think of it. Why don't you let me gossip, do you have a sweetheart? Tang Xi asked with a wicked smile.
After a period of silence, Nian Tong replied: "I don't know if it's not." I'm still young, I don't think about it in that way, he's very good, I only respect him as a senior brother. ”
There was silence again, and Tang Xi's voice was a little hoarse: "It's dawn, let's go." As soon as he stood up, he subconsciously carried his waist, "It's strange, I obviously poured a pot of wine in the grocery store." ”
Nian Tong rolled his eyes: "I just told me that there will be no change if the world is turned upside down in the illusion." Now he actually said that he had poured wine there...", so he ignored him and walked out on his own. When Tang Xi heard this, he honestly followed her footsteps and walked to the back door. Seeing Nian Tong squatting down and starting to dig up the Xun left on the ground, he felt that he really shouldn't stand dry, so he took off his dog beating stick and stirred it up in the snow, causing Nian Tong to have a meaningful white eye.
It only snowed overnight, and it had accumulated a very thick layer, so that after digging for a long time, his hands felt something, rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and were about to dig deeper, when he heard Tang Xi say with a straight face: "Nian Tong ......"
