Deacon Ding looked in the direction of Master Gu's finger, and there was a dark shadow in the corner of the room with unknown light, and the liquid slowly flowed out from there and condensed into a piece of black.

Deacon Ding's pupils shrank involuntarily.

The scent of the tree turned out to be the fragrance of the tree!

His body was very uncharacteristically twisted, and his once flushed face was dead ash, and he didn't have to step forward to test his nose to know that this person was out of breath.

Such a docile person, who was bullied and only knew how to cry.

He cheered up and smiled: "Master......"

"Don't say anything!" Master Gu pointed to Shuxiang's corpse again: "Guiguan and a hundred years are gone!" ”

Guiguan, the young man who always has a hearty smile on his face, paints red very seriously every day, and his eyes are full of longing when he looks at the sky...... Did you run away? Finally waiting for a chance to escape? With the centennial? The guy who's prettier than a girl? That's a lot of courage! I don't know if these two guys have been trained too much by Master Gu and have a personal relationship with each other......

Deacon Ding's head was spinning, but he asked, "What did you lose at home?" ”

Master Gu frowned suspiciously: "I've checked carefully, and I haven't lost anything?" ”

"Nothing was lost?" Deacon Ding was dumbfounded.

Then why run out. One has no money, and the other has no household registration. Deacon Ding's mouth came to his lips and pressed back again.

Master Gu had a gloomy face: "Someone in the family must know what's going on, ...... silently, check it out for me!" ”

Deacon Ding replied with a suspicious face: "Yes, please rest assured, master!" I'm going to get these two bunnies back. With that, he took a few steps forward and walked up to Master Gu, pointed to Shuxiang's corpse and said in a consultative tone: "Master, look at this ......"

Master Gu glanced at Shuxiang's corpse with a cloudy face, and said fiercely: "Throw it out for me to feed the dog!" ”

Deacon Ding answered, turned around and called the close Xitian to give a few words, Xitian turned around and brought a mat in, and Deacon Ding and Xitian moved Shuxiang's body to the mat.

Shuxiang's body softened into a few sections, and Kita couldn't bear to turn his face away.

They carried Shuxiang's body to the middle of the courtyard, and a child immediately stepped forward to help.

Deacon Ding took out a few taels of silver from his bosom and handed them to the little boy, and said in a low voice, "Buy a thin coffin......

The little boy looked at Deacon Ding gratefully and nodded.

Deacon Ding and Xi Tian found some incense ash and sprinkled it on the bloodstained area, leaving a thin layer of ash on the smooth bluestone floor tiles.

After doing these things, Deacon Ding was already sweating lightly on his back, he waved his hand to let Xitian out, and then refilled a cup of tea for Master Gu, and said in a low voice: "Master, you are relieved, fortunately you didn't lose anything." It's still quietly good, and it's always undignified when it gets out......" Before he finished speaking, Yanxiang's trembling voice came from outside: "Master, it's Mama Zhao who is on an errand in the inner courtyard, saying that there is an urgent matter." ”

Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Deacon Ding.

Deacon Ding stepped forward and opened half of the door, and asked through the crack in the door, "What's the matter?" ”

Mama Zhao was sweating profusely, and said with a panicked expression: "Second girl, second girl is gone!" ”

There was a sound of "horn", and the sound of porcelain falling to the ground came from behind Deacon Ding.

Deacon Ding groaned in his heart: It's over, it's over, four hundred taels, it's gone......

Deacon Ding stepped out of the high threshold of the Gu Mansion a little tiredly, and Xitian, the personal servant behind him, whispered: "Deacon Ding, this, where to find this?" ”

Deacon Ding smiled with his hands on his back, his small eyes narrowed into a slit: "Where to look, look for it slowly?" ”

Kita was stunned.

Deacon Ding said with a smile: "This Guiguan, I really can't see that he acted like this at a critical time, and he kidnapped the second girl and ran away...... Tut-tut, who would believe this if it was said! I don't know if these two girls know what Guiguan does......"

When Xitian heard this, how could he feel that Deacon Ding's mouth was full of schadenfreude!

"Anyway, people who read books are different." Deacon Ding continued to praise, "I transferred the grandmother and girl beside the second girl to accompany the lady to Qixiaguan, and pretended to say that the old man led two horses with the best foot strength from the stable, and then asked the princess who was in charge of the corner gate to drink, and took advantage of the old man's absence to turn the second girl and ran away...... Tut-tut, what a smart guy! ”

Xi Tian touched his head when he heard this, and said innocently: "How can the deacon say that Guiguan abducted the second girl and ran away?" It's gone for a hundred years! Maybe Guiguan ran away with a hundred years? ”

"If it weren't for the second girl, how could Guiguan invite Mrs. Wang to drink?" Deacon Ding pondered, "However, what you said also makes sense, maybe the three of them ran away together." But this can't be said, the things in Guiguan and the second girl's house have been cleaned up, and no clues have been left, but everything of value is gone, and the hundred-year-old house is in a mess, and even the covers have not been collected......"

The two of them said as they walked out of the house slowly.

A girl was squatting on the east corner gate of Gu's mansion.

It's spring, and the girl is still wearing an azure jacket, but a pair of black mille-feuille shoes on her feet are clean. Xitian disliked sloppy girls the most, and when she saw the shoes, she immediately felt good, and stepped forward and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The girl lowered her head, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "I, I'm looking, looking for Aunt Qin, saying that it's ...... here" The voice was sweet and glutinous, with a charming tailnote.

Deacon Ding's heart moved, walked up, and asked, "Who do you say you are looking for?" ”

The girl continued to lower her head and whispered, "Find, look for Aunt Qin!" ”

Deacon Ding couldn't see the little girl's face, and was suspicious, so he bent down to look at the girl's face, who knew that the girl happened to look up at her secretly, and the eyes of the two met in the air.

The little girl lowered her frightened eyes like a frightened fawn.

Deacon Ding sighed in his heart.

What a beautiful little girl, but unfortunately her face is yellow and yellow due to malnutrition, and there is a large fuchsia birthmark from her sideburns to the bridge of her nose......

Xi Tian also saw half of the little girl's face deliberately covered with her hair, and felt pity, and kindly pointed to the east side of the alley: "You go in from here, there is a small red lacquer door there, and that is where Aunt Qin lives." ”

The little girl thanked her again and ran away.

The two men were disturbed by this and stopped in the alley instead.

Deacon Ding looked at the little girl's slightly bloated body and asked Xi Tian, "If you were Guiguan, where would you go?" ”

Xitian thought for a while: "Of course it's going home!" ”

Deacon Ding waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the prostitution house where Guiguan came back and ask to see what kind of person he is." ”

Xitian said: "Deacon, didn't you say, look for it slowly?" ”

Deacon Ding waved his hand, and this time it was slapped on Xitian's head: "See more, listen more and talk less, especially don't pass on words, otherwise, Shuxiang will be your end." ”

Xi Tian smiled and touched his head: "Deacon, I'm not as beautiful as them." Would you like to buy a few sticks of incense tonight and go to the ......?"

The two of them walked as they talked, and their voices faded away.

In the small alley of Gu's house, a little girl in an azure jacket was knocking on the door.

"It's coming, it's coming!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman answered the door, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The little girl raised her head, and the black green silk covered half of her face: "I'm looking for Aunt Qin." ”

The girl who answered the door was startled, but her beautiful and beautiful facial features were ...... She tried to maintain a normal look: "Who is the girl?" ”

The little girl's eyes were soft and gentle: "My name is Qin Yu, and I am Aunt Qin's niece, please let my sister help me." ”

The girl who answered the door looked at the little girl's clean cloth shoes, and knew that the person who came was not bad, so she politely turned sideways and let her in, and said, "Please wait a moment, girl." ”

After a while, Aunt Qin personally greeted her, and when she saw the little girl, she only felt familiar, but she really couldn't remember where she had seen it.

The little girl said aggrievedly: "Auntie, doesn't my aunt recognize me?" I'm Qin Yu! ”

Aunt Qin has been sold to the troupe since she was a child, and she went back once ten years ago, and she really can't remember who there are in the family. Hearing the little girl's complaint, she had to answer vaguely and took the little girl to the hall, let people serve tea, and asked kindly, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

The little girl lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, but she didn't say why.

Aunt Qin followed the troupe to the north and south at a young age, and when she looked like this, she smiled and said, "Are you here to borrow money?" ”

The little girl blushed and shook her head: "No, it's not. ”

"That's?" Aunt Qin asked puzzled.

The little girl looked up and said, as if she had plucked up courage, "I have come to my aunt." ”

Aunt Qin thought that she was removed from the clan by singing in the troupe, and looked at the purple-red birthmark on the little girl's face, and said, "I'm here in the troupe......"

As if she was afraid that Aunt Qin would not agree, the little girl hurriedly said, "I know." I do laundry and cook for my aunt, just for three meals......"

Aunt Qin looked at the little girl's frightened eyes like an elk, her heart softened, and she nodded.

It was quiet in the Gu Mansion over there, and everyone knew that the old man was in a bad mood and killed the incense of the tree. Although it's not the first time, whoever wants to come out of this head will try to tiptoe as much as possible.

Master Gu sat cross-legged on the eight-step bed, a melon-shaped glass table lamp was placed on the warm pineapple wood table, the wax and tears in the lamp were clumped, and the orange flame was jumping and beating in the lampshade, which was clearly and secretly printed on the beautiful and elegant face of Master Gu, forming a line of light and shadow.

As if he remembered something, he jumped up from the bed, hurried to a large painting case beside the bed, moved a chair and stepped on it, looking up anxiously at the top of the multi-treasure cabinet in front of the painting case.

On the top of the cabinet were sloppy scattered scrolls, as if they had not been touched in years, covered with dust and a few cobwebs.

Old Man Gu trembled and pushed away those painting scrolls and saw the innermost thing.

He hesitated, then reached out and took it.

The purple purlin box is dull in color and quite heavy to start with.

Master Gu held the box in both hands and carefully placed it on the painting case to open it.

The silver-red gold velvet was empty.

Master Gu covered his chest with a low snort, and fell diagonally on the painting case.

The wax fire on the small table was burning happily, making a crackling sound.
