Dai Guozi was directly sent to the cemetery by Gu Changming's words, and he was just a big man, how could he still let Liu Zhuxue be brought with him. Although it is a beautiful thing to be alone with Liu Meiren, I am afraid that I will not be in any mood when I think that the destination is a large cemetery.
"Miss Liu, if I don't go alone, you just wait at home." The cemetery is not a fun place, don't come across something unclean, and you can't talk about it when you come back.
Liu Zhuxue had already brought the Melting Snow Sword with him, and before Dai Guozi could react, everyone was about to arrive outside the courtyard gate: "Guozi, what are you grinding, hurry up and go to the west of the city, time waits for no one." ”
Seeing that she didn't have the slightest timidity, Dai Guozi couldn't say that she was afraid, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I thought you didn't want to go to that kind of place." ”
"Who hasn't been born, old, sick and died, and I haven't done anything wrong, how can I still taboo this?" Liu Zhuxue said that her master took her down the mountain to deliver medicine and food to the people trapped by the plague at the foot of the mountain, "I am not a woman who is raised in the deep boudoir and I don't know people, I have seen many dead people. You should understand that the cemetery is really nothing compared to the corpses that died from the plague. ”
"Your master accepts all female disciples, right, no one is afraid?" Dai Guozi likes to listen to Liu Zhuxue talk about this, and feels that the distance between the two seems to be closer.
"There is a senior sister who is very timid, so she has to hurry blindfolded. That's what Master said, he hasn't done anything wrong, and he won't be taboo about the dead. Later, this senior sister carried out two dying children from the pile of dead people, and the master brought them back to the mountain and took a lot of effort to save them, and became our little junior sister. A smile tugged at the corner of Liu Zhuxue's mouth, "The coincidence in the world is very ingenious many times. ”
Dai Guozi stared at her smile for a long time, and also laughed: "Like the three of us?" ”
According to Gu Changming's instructions, the Gu family went to the horse market to pick out a jujube red bantam horse for Liu Zhuxue. Although riding on it is not as spirited as stepping on the snow, it is always tall and short for Liu Zhuxue, and his personality is docile, which is very desirable.
As soon as she left the courtyard, she called out to the red jade affectionately, and the bantam horse had already obediently come over and rubbed half of her shoulder: "I asked you that you like to eat carrots, and I specially brought them to you from the stove." ”
The cherry carrots that are bright and bright, Liu Zhuxue fed them, and the red jade bit them crunchy one by one, and the fruits were red-eyed, so he almost came up and said that he also wanted to eat the radish. Thinking about it carefully, he actually had to deal with a horse, Dai Guozi couldn't wipe it off on his face, so he rode off with a straight face.
After Liu Zhuxue finished feeding, Hongyu hissed lightly and seemed to be talking to her, she smiled and patted Hongyu's head: "Next time, we have important tasks to do, you have to fight." ”
Dai Guozi turned around and saw Liu Zhuxue coming up to keep pace with him, and felt a little better: "This Gu Changming is mysterious again, saying that he can find the key clues in the cemetery in the west of the city, and then ask what it will be, there will be no follow-up." ”
"If a man does not reach the ground, he will not be able to speak. We are all our own people, so there is no need to make a fool of ourselves, anyway, if Brother Gu says that there will be one. "Liu Zhuxue used to think that Gu Changming was a god man from above. Now that I have spent more time together, I understand deeply, although I understand that no one is perfect and I can't be exhaustive, but I admire Gu Changming's focus and perseverance even more.
Dai Guozi found that she couldn't say bad things about Gu Changming in front of Liu Zhuxue, she was simple-minded and too considerate of others, and she would only maintain it everywhere instead of being jealous and jealous. Dai Guozi sometimes really wants to hold Liu Zhuxue's shoulder and ask, in your heart, will Gu Changming always be better than me. Even if I, even if I ......
It's a pity that he is just a thief with a thief heart and no one else, and he doesn't blame others.
"He has given us this unseemly errand, where has he gone to be blessed?" After Dai Guozi finished speaking, he was faced with a cold wind, which made his neck cold.
"Brother Gu must have gone to Little Phoenix's side to help, it is not suitable for too many people over there, so as not to be discovered by the other party in advance, and it is just right to have him in charge." Liu Zhuxue tied the collar of her clothes tightly, "Guozi, you found that it was getting colder and colder, and there were no passers-by on either side." ”
Dai Guozi already felt that if he had been scaring the other party according to his usual temperament. The truth of one thing descending one thing, in front of Liu Zhuxue, he just wanted to say two witty words to relieve the feeling of yin measurement around his body. Suddenly, he made a silent gesture, signaling Liu Zhuxue not to speak yet, the wind blowing from the direction of the cemetery seemed to be wrapped in an undeserved sound.
On the other side, Gu Changming didn't go out, and after sweeping the dog's tail grass out of the study, he found that he couldn't find the original one. He clearly remembered that it was in the book on the table at that time, and it was not a particularly small thing, even if he opened all the books on the table and flipped through it, he still couldn't find it.
Gu Changming had a bold and amazing idea, could it be that the person who sent the weeds in came back and took the weeds away?
The first time he could explain that the third watch was defenseless in the middle of the night, and the second time was equivalent to going freely under his nose. If this person is assumed to be an opponent, I am afraid that he will not even leave them with a way to survive.
Gu Changming was a little skeptical that it was appropriate to let Dai Guozi take Liu Zhuxue to the cemetery in the west of the city, but Guozi's adaptability was excellent and Liu Zhuxue's martial arts could also be independent, so it was also the time to let go of the experience. He has been walking around on the edge of various cases all year round, suffering losses and growing wise, and understands that no matter how powerful a person is, he may lose in the defect of his clone when solving the case.
So when he was in Quyang County, he chose to wear the fruit, and Sun Youxiang also chose him for the fruit.
Xiangxiang in the bag suddenly desperately grabbed and picked it with her little paws, Gu Changming noticed that he fished it out, and found that the hairs on Xiangxiang's whole body stood up, and the originally little black bean-like eyes turned red.
At that time, Gu Changming asked Little Phoenix, how can I know that something is wrong with you? Little Phoenix bit her lip and only said that she would definitely know when the time came. He thought it was a trick, but he didn't expect this little pet to be raised so well, and he had the same heart as the owner. It's just that I don't know if Xiangxiang's reaction is because of Bai Heluo's inducement, or if the little phoenix is already in danger!
Gu Changming put Xiangxiang on the ground, and found that Xiangxiang also glanced back at him, as if to confirm whether he would follow him: "You can go without worry, I will definitely be able to follow." ”
Xiangxiang is just like the little phoenix said, obviously looks like a chubby hairy ball, and she really wants to run very fast. If Gu Changming hadn't prepared in advance, he might have lost Xiangxiang before he went out.
When he arrived on the street, Xiangxiang ran underground, and Gu Changming's eyes were always locked on the gray point. It is small and fast, and it is difficult for others to notice. Otherwise, a handsome boy will follow the mouse, and I am afraid that it will attract the onlookers of passers-by.
Gu Changming knew that Xiangxiang was going in the right direction, which was near the fixed place where the little boss usually begged. When she was about to reach the ground, Xiangxiang obviously hesitated, and at most she could see the little boss and the little gourd after turning a corner.
Xiangxiang still temporarily changed direction and continued to chase towards the other side. Gu Changming glanced back, the reason why Xiangxiang was distracted was that the little phoenix should be ambushed there, leaving a very light fragrance. And this road taken at this time is the clue that really left Bai Heluo.
Bai and Luo Bai and Luo, Gu Changming suddenly felt as if he had seen this name somewhere, and it should have been a glimpse at that time, so he left an imprint but it was not deep enough.
Since the little phoenix has left the place, coupled with Xiangxiang's abnormality, Gu Changming can almost be sure that the little gourd has been taken away, and it seems that the effect of pretending to be lame and dumb is very remarkable, maybe the other party is getting more and more anxious to make up the number of people earlier, so he does not hesitate to speed up, and even the necessary cover up no longer leaves a little more leeway.
Xiangxiang's speed was already fast, and when Gu Changming was distracted and thinking about this, his pace slowed down slightly, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Xiangxiang was gone. No, it's not that it's not missing, there was movement on the side of Gu Changming's shoes, and as soon as he looked down, he found that Xiangxiang grabbed his trouser tube with his small front paws, and was about to climb up.
He couldn't cry and laughed and picked up Xiangxiang with his fingers, are you reliable, little guy? But when it is critical to do business, why don't you go to your master, what is this trying to do?
Xiangxiang's eyes returned to their original black, broke free of Gu Changming's fingers, jumped on his shoulder, and then grabbed the material of the clothes and squatted on the spot and refused to move.
"You're leading me astray and ignoring it?" Gu Changming looked around, and there was neither the figure of the little phoenix, nor the clues of the little gourd. When he looked up again, he found that five paces away was a winery.
Gu Changming's amount of alcohol is good, but he drinks very little, and he will not be addicted to good wine. At this moment, I stood still and smelled the clear aroma of wine in the air, which should be a mixture of several good wines, and the aroma was scattered.
He looked sideways to see Xiangxiang's reaction, and suddenly realized that Xiangxiang's sense of smell was disturbed by the aroma of wine. In the face of such a strong aroma, the traces left by Bai and Luo should have been almost completely covered. Losing Bai and Luo's control, Xiangxiang also failed.
Gu Changming still didn't have the slightest fluster, but instead took a few steps forward, and walked into the wine shop with long legs.
The place in the wine shop was big and spacious, Gu Changming should have never entered the store before, at most he couldn't enter the door. Immediately, a bartender stepped forward and asked, "This boy is here to buy good wine?" ”
"I don't know much about alcohol, so I passed by your store and smelled the smell of wine, so I came in to have a look. Recently, there is a happy event at home, and there is a shortage of a batch of good wine to entertain guests, I don't know which is the best wine here? "Gu Changming doesn't need to deliberately disguise, his gestures are all the style of a rich son. His usual clothes are elaborate and low-key, and the bartender immediately treats him as a guest.
"Childe was originally going to buy it back to entertain distinguished guests, so please sit down and taste the three good wines of our calming treasure before deciding which one you like." The bartender led Gu Changming to the small private seat, left a sentence to ask for a moment, and then stepped out first.
Gu Changming looked around and saw all kinds of folk tales about fine wine painted on the four flour walls, he pressed one hand on the bag to appease the fragrance that had been re-packed, and pointed to a certain point in the drawing on the wall with the other hand.
