Gu Changming's pupils instantly became darker and heavier, and he saw that his index finger was about to touch the wall. Xiangxiang jumped up violently and hugged his fingers, and bit down his fingertips. Of course, Gu Changming would not hurt Xiangxiang, and instantly withdrew his hand behind his back.

At the same time, the bartender came back, with a tray of red sandalwood in his hand, celadon wine, and the aroma became stronger as he got closer. Probably seeing a trace of displeasure between Gu Changming's eyebrows, the bartender greeted him repeatedly: "Childe, you need patience for fine wine." ”

Gu Changming knew that Xiangxiang had already slipped into his sleeve, and settled down like a home, motionless: "It's okay, this is the best wine in your winery?" ”

The bartender laughed loudly: "Childe's words sound to the layman, there is no best wine in the world, only the most suitable." Even if the agar jade liquid in the palace is not in line with the taste of the son, it is also disliked. ”

"Something interesting." Gu Changming didn't expect such a bartender to say such a thing, his eyes swept over the three wine glasses, "Which one should I drink first?" ”

"Childe, it's better to drink casually." The bartender placed the tray on the table, "Some people like to drink empty, some people like to add some side dishes, and some people like to drink with the freshest melons and fruits." We only provide fine wine here, and the rest can only be prepared by the aggrieved son after he returns. ”

Xiangxiang should have smelled the smell of wine, and there was inevitably a little commotion, and his claws made a sound in Gu Changming's sleeve. The bartender's ears were very good: "Did Childe hear anything?" ”

"I'm new here, and even if there is any sound, you should know better than me." Gu Changming's other hand grabbed Xiangxiang behind his back and touched his furry back. Xiangxiang quickly quieted down again.

The bartender's face was a little strange, and he muttered, "It's cleaned every day, how can there be unclean things coming in." Could it be that he mixed in with the batch of grain that came in the day before yesterday? ”

Gu Changming smiled slightly, and sure enough, he still regarded Xiangxiang as a mouse, but this mouse had some ability.

"Childe, taste the wine first and then decide slowly, don't be in a hurry. I'll go down first, and I'll take care of some important things. The bartender's smile did not diminish, and he made a gesture of please, and then bent down and slowly withdrew.

Gu Changming raised one of the wine glasses, but it was only an inch in size, and the thin porcelain translucent was printed by the wine color as if it was revealing a bright green. The wine glass shook gently in his fingers, Gu Changming's eyes narrowed slightly, this wine shop must be a little weird, is the wine in the cup to drink or not?

He brought the glass to his lips, and was about to touch the wine when a flash of inspiration struck him. As soon as Fang Cai came in, he felt a feeling of general discomfort, with the intuition of running around the case for many years, Gu Changming's hand almost did not obey the call, and attacked on his own, but was stopped by Xiangxiang halfway.

The point on the wall, he knew what it was. As soon as Gu Changming unlocked the obstacle in front of him, he immediately flicked his sleeves and released Xiangxiang again.

Xiangxiang circled around among the three glasses of wine on the table, repeating the circle and trying to stop. Gu Changming looked interesting, and pressed on its little head: "You won't still only be addicted to alcohol, right?" ”

Xiangxiang seemed to be making a choice, and she was still hesitant, and finally stopped at the right side of the wine glass, and did not move again.

"Do you want me to drink this?" Gu Changming half-closed his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, not letting the crystal light under his eyes see through the small hole in the wall that could peep into the every move of the people in the house. Since you're going to act, you're naturally welcome to have an audience, "Or do you want to drink this one?" ”

Xiangxiang circled the wine glass twice, and then returned to the corner of the table closest to Gu Changming, looking at him intently. Gu Changming raised the glass of wine very heroically, this time he didn't hesitate, raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp.

The wine is as mellow as silk satin, although the aroma is intense without the slightest hint of spicy disobedience. Gu Changming slowly put down the wine glass, letting the aroma of wine roll between his lips and teeth first, and then flow down his throat, everywhere he passed seemed to be covered with the fragrance of wine, and he was reluctant to speak, for fear that he would be deflated and destroy the beauty in it.

"Childe, I'm back." The bartender looked at the three glasses of wine on the table, and then looked at the fragrant fragrance standing in the corner of the table, and the flash in his eyes was quickly concealed, "I said how did I hear the squeak, Childe said that it was a little pet that Childe was carrying, I was worried that it would be easy to find the rat when he went out." ”

"I want this kind of wine, and send ten jars to Gu Mansion in the east of the city." Gu Changming didn't want to stay here for a long time, at least not today. "How much is it?"

"Childe later." The bartender went out again, then held the newly written account book in both hands, and opened it for Gu Changming to look at, "Ten jars of wine are a total of this number." ”

Gu Changming glanced at it, the price was expensive, and compared with the quality of the wine, he felt that it was very reasonable: "I will settle the settlement when I get to the house, I still have to go out for a walk, and you will send it tomorrow." ”

"Chengdong Gu Mansion. Childe, rest assured, it will definitely be sent to your mansion early tomorrow morning, and it will definitely not delay the happy event in the mansion. The bartender closed the account book and asked, "Childe's little pet also likes wine?" ”

"It knows something, but it has a little understanding of human nature and looks clever and intelligent." Gu Changming said and picked up Xiangxiang, "It's not a little beast who eats and waits for death." ”

The bartender echoed and laughed dryly: "Since Childe has nothing else to do, I will send Childe out." ”

"It's fine." Gu Changming followed behind the bartender, and as soon as he took a few steps, his fingers loosened, and the fragrant incense rolled to the ground. Like a dusty hair dumpling, the bartender just wanted to bend down to pick it up, but he was stunned to see that Xiangxiang had already fluttered out at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was afraid that he couldn't even find the little shadow.

"Childe, your little pet." The bartender panicked, "This, where is this going?" ”

"It likes to look around when it comes to new and unfamiliar places, and sometimes even I don't know where it goes. You've also seen it run so fast that the average person can't catch it at all. Gu Changming has always been paying attention to the changes in the bartender's various expressions, looking at them in his eyes and remembering them in his heart.

The bartender couldn't suppress his panic, and his facial features twisted in an instant: "Childe, wait a minute, I'll go find Childe's little pet." ”

Gu Changming had already discovered that no matter who was in a mood of ups and downs, it was easy to break his deliberate disguise. The bartender had been speaking a very authentic Kaifeng official dialect just now, and he inadvertently rolled his tongue just now, and he spoke it quickly, and he heard the foreign accent in it.

Even the dialect is fake, how many secrets are hidden in this brewery? Gu Changming's face was not shocked: "Then there is labor, my little pet is not very obedient on weekdays, and there is a bamboo whistle that can summon it back." Recently, it happened to be the time of year for estrus, and it was useless to blow the bamboo whistle again. ”

He pretended to be still babbling to explain, and the bartender couldn't help but throw him in the corridor at will, and went to encircle and suppress him in the direction where Xiangxiang ran away.

Gu Changming listened to the bartender Fang Cai's words, and he would definitely find the little pet, but whether he was dead or alive when he found it, it was not who could be the decide.

In the cemetery in the west of the city, Liu Zhuxue's martial arts are obviously a head higher than Dai Guozi, but at this time, most of the people are stuffed behind Dai Guozi, and she is not allowed to act rashly.

"Fruit, what did you just say you heard? What else is there besides the wind? Liu Zhuxue has always said that she is not afraid of cemeteries, and she is not afraid of the dead. After all, it was a big girl, and if Dai Guozi said that she heard the cry, her whole back would be cold.

"I think I hear a dog barking, and it's a big dog." As soon as Dai Guozi's words fell, Liu Zhuxue, who was hiding behind him and secretly looking out, moved.

With a ding, the melting snow sword was unsheathed, Liu Zhuxue didn't even turn her head, she slashed down with a sword behind her backhand, her body retreated rapidly, her back hit Dai Guozi's arms, and the two of them kicked back more than a dozen steps together.

Dai Guozi almost couldn't retract his momentum, and was just about to ask Liu Zhuxue what happened. As soon as they raised their eyes, the answer was in front of them, and a big dog that could be as tall as his chest when he stood up was looking at them viciously, his long tongue exposed, and his saliva kept dripping. The worst thing is that a pair of black eyes that should have been clean have completely turned into a cloudy dark red.

"It's just that this is not a Western Regions dog raised in the Nine Emperors' Mansion that bit its owner and escaped?" Dai Guozi secretly scolded more than a dozen times, where is this dog, the big-tailed wolf outside is not so fierce.

"If there were other families in Kaifeng Mansion who had such a big dog, they would have brought it out to show off a long time ago, and they wouldn't have thrown it in the cemetery and didn't ask." Liu Zhuxue heard the whirring sound from the bottom of the big dog's throat, which was a warning from the canine-like beast before attacking the other party. And in the gust of wind just now, there was a stench of blood, which was obviously emanating from the dog.

"If you bite someone, you can still run to the cemetery, and you can live for so long without dying." Dai Guozi snorted, and a terrifying thought came to his mind. Such a big dog must eat a lot of meat in one meal. When he was in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, he could afford to eat too much, and the Nine Emperor Princes definitely wouldn't even wrinkle their eyebrows.

Now that this dog has lived alone for so long, it doesn't look like he's losing weight, and what is it eating to maintain? Dai Guozi's gaze moved down, and he saw that the dog's paws were full of dirt, as if he had dug a lot of soil, and he had been digging for several days.

"Oh my God, look at the fruit!" Liu Zhuxue saw the graveyard behind the big dog, two of which were turned into a mess, and even the tombstone was pushed aside, not like something that ordinary people would do, "Who dug out the corpses......

Liu Zhuxue didn't finish her words, and she was stupefied by her own thoughts first. At present, in addition to the two of them, there is only this big dog who is the culprit, and it is the nature of dogs to plow the ground.

After digging out the corpses under the ground, it is definitely not for the investigation of the case, but for the sake of hunger.

"The fruit, it eats people, it eats corpses, it eats the dead." Liu Zhuxue's voice became more and more high-pitched, as if it had torn a crack in the sky above the cemetery.

At the same time, the big dog's front paws slashed twice on the mud floor, and with a vigorous kick on its hind legs, the wind swept with the smell of blood, and pounced on the two of them and opened their bloody mouths.
