Chapter 26: Halloween Festival (9)
All day, Liu Xuan stayed at the head of Liu Xu's bed, and when he woke up, she wanted to be the first to see him open his eyes, so that she could really feel at ease, Liu Heng persuaded her many times not to listen, so he prepared a soft seat for her to sit more comfortably, and also instructed the people to deliver food on time and take care of the eldest lady, but whether to eat or not is not something that people can decide, she only moved a few mouthfuls of the food she sent, starved a few times, and the whole person lost her luster, and her weak appearance made people feel very pity.
Liu Heng looked at her and still held his hand, looking at him blankly, the meaning in his eyes was very complicated, what a crime! Ay! Thinking that he has never done anything bad in his life, how can he be hit like this? The hand behind his back tightened, his arm trembled slightly, thinking of these things that had happened in the past few days, complicated feelings came up, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help it if he looked at it again...... With another heavy sigh, he turned around and left, just in time to bump into Chu Yu who came to visit Liu Xu, Chu Yu smiled and nodded at him, "Master Liu." ”
Liu Heng was startled, panicked for a moment, quickly sorted out his emotions, and reluctantly smiled, "Gongzi Chu is here to visit Xu'er." ”
Chu Yu nodded, he didn't miss Liu Heng's expression when he turned around, it seems that this Master Liu really has something to hide from them.
"It's troublesome to Chu Gongzi, as a guest in the house, not only did he not fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but also bothered you, the old man really didn't want to go...... It's just that the murderer hasn't been found yet, so I can only grieve you, and when Lord Wu finds out the real murderer, I will thank you very much. ”
"Master Liu is polite, your mansion treats us so well, we should do our part!"
"Okay, in that case, you can rest assured, I still have some things, so I'll leave first."
Chu Yu nodded.
Looking at the back of Master Liu's departure, his pace was steady, his eyes were hurried, and looking at the panic in his eyes just now, wasn't he interrupted when he was thinking about something, so he had such a look?
As soon as the folding fan opened, Chu Yu walked in, and the scene he saw was still what Liu Heng saw just now, although today was a sunny day, but this did not belong to their brothers and sisters, this room seemed to be abandoned by the sun, dimness was their color, too, who doesn't like the sun? Who likes to dwell in darkness? But there are some things that they can't choose, and there is a feeling that they can't suppress, just like Liu Xu's love for Liu Xuan!
Liu Xuan sensed that Chu Yu was coming, so she didn't turn her head, but just kept this movement and said, "Young Master Chu." ”
Chu Yu looked at Liu Xuan like this, she was supposed to be a cute girl with positive sunshine, but she was hit one after another in one day, why did such a disaster fall on such a little girl?
Looking at her like this, Chu Yu thought of Shanshan, Shanshan also felt such despair, the difference is that she has the support of "hatred", which makes her muster up the courage to face it, she can enter Beijing alone, if there is no lie from Mrs. Bai, Shanshan is afraid that she will be the same as her.
"Miss Xuanxuan, I know you're very sad, but even if you don't eat, your brother won't wake up, instead of letting him wake up and see a yellow-faced and thin you, don't let him see a spirited you, what do you say?"
Liu Xuan's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, and she held Liu Xu's hand tightly, "Daochang Ding said when my brother will wake up." ”
"Tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Well, you can not believe my words, Ding Daochang is a big celebrity in front of the monarch, can you still not believe it?"
Chu Yu couldn't help but smile lightly.
I didn't expect him to borrow the name of Daochang Ding.
Liu Xuan turned her head, looked at Chu Yu who was smiling gently, and then looked at Liu Xu lying on the bed, and in a blink of an eye, her eyes fell on the meal, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat.
"I want to reassure my brother! I want to reassure my brother! I'm going to make ......"
It's good to figure it out, looking at Liu Xuan, who has been babbling the same sentence, Chu Yu smiled with satisfaction.
While eating, she asked Chu Yu again, "Is Gongzi Chu here just to count me as eating?" ”
"I'm here to take a look at your brother, Lord Wu is already investigating the truth of the matter, so I guess I won't be able to know who is the murderer of your mother."
"Lord Wu...... Great, great! Be sure to catch the killer as soon as possible! ”
Joy floated up her cheeks, and then Chu Yu asked, "There is one more thing, I want to ask Miss Xuanxuan." ”
"Young Master Chu, just ask! As long as it can help us find the murderer as soon as possible! I'll tell you everything! ”
Chu Yu smiled lightly and asked, "Does Miss Xuanxuan know that your father has a jade pendant?" ”
"My dad? Jade pendant? ”
Xuanxuan was confused and shook her head.
"That jade pendant is half missing, wrapped in a red thread."
"Half is missing...... The red line ......", suddenly, Liu Xuan exclaimed, "I remembered!" My mother has a piece of that jade pendant! ”
"Mrs. Liu?"
Xuanxuan nodded violently, "It's my mother, I still remember that it was one night, I went to the Buddha Hall to discuss things with my mother, there was no one in the front hall, so I went to the back hall to find her, and I saw that she was holding a piece of jade pendant like you said, rubbing it, it should be seeing things and thinking about people!" Maybe it's a token of love with my father, Mr. Chu can go to my father and ask! ”
Chu Yu smiled faintly, could it be that what Master Liu said was true? Then why was he so flustered when the jade pendant was taken away by Lord Wu.
"Thank you, Miss Xuanxuan."
"It's okay, as long as I can find the murderer, I can do anything!"
Chu Yu smiled.
It was night, a man was riding a fast horse from Linxi County to Qingxi County, the night was intoxicating, but he didn't want to appreciate it, he just wanted to report what he found back to the adults as soon as possible.
The night was slightly cool, Shanshan sent food to Xuanxuan, after Chu Yu said that, Xuanxuan didn't ignore it like before, Shanshan said happily, "Xuanxuan, you can be considered to have figured it out, if you are hungry, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you if you are hungry!" ”
"I'm sorry for the trouble, but don't worry, I've already decided that my brother will wake up and see the best me!"
"It's good to figure it out."
"Miss Shanshan, it's not early, I'll take care of my brother, you go back like a pig!"
"It's okay, you have to be careful, just call me if something happens."
Xuanxuan smiled and nodded, after Shanshan left, Liu Xuan glanced back at Liu Xu, she was already looking forward to tomorrow, looking forward to the day when he woke up.
Brother, I have lost my mother, I can't lose you and my father anymore, especially you, I never want to lose.
Suddenly, a small hole appeared in the door, a small bamboo tube stretched in, white smoke dispersed in the air, Xuanxuan shook her head, only to feel that her head was heavy, her eyelids were fighting, and she gradually closed her eyes......
The black-clothed man with a ghost mask outside the door looked around vigilantly, and then softly pushed the door open, and finally closed it carefully, the target was very certain, it was Liu Xu who was lying on the bed, he swept to the bed with very light steps, and showed the dagger, the cold light appeared, and a trace of hesitation flashed in the visible eyes, and finally raised the dagger, at this moment, the door opened, "Xuanxuan, I forgot to tell you, your brother ......"
Shanshan's appearance was something he didn't expect, without saying a word, he shot at Shanshan, Shanshan saw this ghost-faced man, and was shocked, especially when she saw this mask, the ghost-faced man had already attacked, and there was a dagger in his hand, Shanshan raised the sword in his hand to fight with him, after a few moves, this person knew that his strength was insufficient, so he took the opportunity to escape, Shanshan hesitated when he saw this, or didn't catch up, I don't know what happened to the two of them, let's go see them first.
She entered the room and looked at Liu Xu who was lying on the bed, still alive, and then shook Liu Xuan who was lying on the table, "Xuanxuan!" Xuanxuan! Wake up! Xuanxuan! ”
The amount of the drug was not too heavy, Xuanxuan opened her eyes in a daze, slapped her head, and looked up at Shanshan who had gone and returned, and couldn't help but wonder, "Shanshan girl? Aren't you gone? How did you come back again? ”
Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to know that you're okay, I want to tell you that your brother will wake up tomorrow, but I didn't expect the murderer to appear, fortunately I came in time, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened." ”
"What! Murderer! You say the murderer is here again! ”
Shanshan nodded.
"Did you catch him? Who is he? Who is it! Xuanxuan stood up violently, grabbed Shanshan's arms and said.
Shanshan looked at her excited appearance, and shook her head unbearably, seeing that her eyes darkened again, "Miss Xuanxuan, although we didn't catch him just now, we will be able to catch him soon!" ”
This feeling of being lost and regained made Xuanxuan happy again, and Shanshan secretly decided: Miss Xuanxuan, don't worry, I will definitely help you catch the murderer!
Shanshan told Chu Yu what happened just now, and Chu Yu was also very surprised when he heard it, "What you said is true?" Is that Ghostface mask really the one we see? ”
Shanshan nodded, "Well, I think we can quickly find out the murderer as long as we ask who bought the ghost mask." ”
Chu Yu nodded, "Okay, without further ado, let's go there now and ask, who bought that mask!" ”
The fan fell on their hands, and the three of them were just about to leave to go out, but the door was pushed open, and they saw Ding Jiu standing at the door, and couldn't help blinking, "You guys, are you going out?" ”
Shanshan nodded, "Yes, we're going out, and we'll talk about something when we come back." ”
"That's not going to work! Well, how about I go with you? ”
Shanshan pursed her lips helplessly, but Chu Yu shook her fan with a smile, "Daochang Ding is a big celebrity in front of the monarch, so naturally he can go wherever he wants." ”
In this way, the four of them went to the mask stall when they first arrived in Qingxi County, and saw that the vendor was still selling, Ding Jiu shook his fan and went over, picked up a piece casually, and looked at it.
"What do you want, officer? We've got all kinds of masks here! ”
Ding Jiu raised his eyebrows, "What kind of things?" ”
The peddler scratched his head, "It's not all of them, but there are so many styles, enough for you to choose!" ”
At this time, Chu Yu and the three of them appeared, and the hawker still had an impression, after all, these three people were not ordinary people at first glance, and Shanshan didn't buy a mask in the end, which was a little regrettable.
"Several, you're here too!"
Shanshan asked directly to the point, "Little brother, where is the green ghost mask I took that day?" I'm going to buy it. ”
