Chapter 41: A Strange Scent

Gu Changqing sullenly looked at the porcelain bottle and the note with blood written on it.

Xie Ling muttered while eating, "You let it go first, maybe you can find some clues in a while, I used to be like this, just let go of anything you encounter." ”

Gu Changqing thought that he really had no idea, so he put down the things in his hand.

Supper is very simple, just porridge and snacks, but neither of them is picky about this, especially Xie Ling, as long as it is something that can be eaten is a good thing for her.

"Finished eating?" Xie Ling watched Gu Changqing put down his chopsticks and leaned on the chair, so he asked happily.

Seeing him nodding, he immediately said, "I'll send it." ”

After finishing speaking, he packed up his things and ran away, and his smiling mouth could bloom along the way.

She knew that she was not smart enough, especially in comparison with Li Qiyue, she was even more stupid, but if she could make Gu Changqing feel that her words were also useful, that was something to be happy about.

Jiancheng watched her send things back, and stopped talking a few times, this big night, a girl appeared in Gu Changqing's room several times, and anyone would think about it.

However, Xie Ling, who was immersed in joy, didn't think much about it at all, and trotted all the way back, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't knock on the door, and directly squeezed in with his body.

But the moment she entered, a familiar smell came to her face, evoking a certain scene in her memory, but she was not sure, so she stepped back and ran twice in the cold wind in the courtyard, and then squeezed the door in as quickly as she had just done.

When he entered, he sniffed hard like a puppy, then stood still and shouted, "I see." ”

Gu Changqing looked at her dumbfounded, not understanding what her series of actions meant?

So he asked, "What do you know?" ”

Xie Ling excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand and dragged it out, "Trust me, I will definitely not disappoint you." Xie Ling said mysteriously.

Walking into the courtyard, Xie Ling signaled to him and asked him to take a good breath of the air outside, although he didn't know what it meant, but seeing that she was confident, he still did it.

After walking twice in the courtyard against the north wind, he looked at her and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

Xie Ling nodded and took his hand again, but deliberately avoided the injured one when he pulled it, "Follow me later." Xie Ling said instructively.

Gu Changqing, who didn't know why, was pulled by her, and also ran towards the door.

When he arrived at the door, he still didn't stop, and Xie Ling pushed it away with his body in front.

The moment he stood in the door, Gu Changqing's eyes gradually gathered a beam of light, he looked at Xie Ling, and said excitedly, "Do you think, feel very similar." ”

Xie Ling nodded vigorously, "It's very similar." ”

Gu Changqing didn't come a second time like Xie Ling, but ran back to the table, picked up the paper and looked at it for a long time, raised his head suddenly, and almost bumped into Xie Ling, who was staring at him, he said, "I know." ”

This time it was Xie Ling's turn to ask, "What do you know?" ”

Gu Changqing held the piece of paper tightly and asked, "Do you remember what the inn is called?" ”

Xie Ling lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head suddenly, "It's called Qiuyue, yes, it's called Qiuyue Inn, and the shopkeeper's wife is called Qiuyue, I've heard them say it." ”

The answer was the same as what he had in his heart, although he had been there for one night, there might be some deviations in his memory, but even Xie Ling was so sure that it should not be bad.

He excitedly shook Xie Ling's shoulders and said very seriously, "Thank you." ”

This thank you comes from the bottom of his heart, many times, he feels that Xie Ling's appearance is a mistake and can only bring disaster, but these few times, whether it is looking for someone or fighting the fire that night, Xie Ling is at the forefront, although sometimes there is a little temper and laughing, but it is undeniable that she really helped herself a lot.

Although without her, you may find out, but the wasted time and wasted opportunities will never come back.

Xie Ling was so grateful to him that he blushed slightly, shook his head and said, "No, no." ”

For a while, there was some embarrassment in the room, Xie Ling saw that it was really not early, and he was tired, so he said, "Well, if you have nothing to do, I'll go back." ”

Gu Changqing nodded, she walked to the door and turned around and asked hesitantly, "Well, that bottle, can you lend me a night?" ”

She liked such delicate things very much, thinking that she must find a place to work well in the future, and buy one herself.

Now that the matter was clear, Gu Changqing put the bottle in her hand, and just explained that it should be kept so as not to break it.

But the bottle, the moment it was in Xie Ling's hand, something suddenly fell out of it.

It's black, it's like a small ball.

"What is this?" Xie Ling lowered his head and glanced at the black thing, then raised his head and glanced at Gu Changqing in surprise.

Gu Changqing also had great doubts about this, this kind of black ball is actually very common, but there are really many possibilities if you say what it is.

He squatted down and picked up the small ball, a faint fragrance rushed over, the same as the one that came out when he opened the bottle just now, he frowned, and put the small black ball into Xie Ling's nostrils, "You sniff." ”

Xie Ling stepped back decisively, thinking that Gu Changqing was going to play some bad idea, so he shook his head and said, "Don't hear it." ”

"Smell it, it's very fragrant." Gu Changqing continued.

"Really?"

As he spoke, his nose leaned over and accidentally touched his nose, "Isn't this the smell just now?" ”

Xie Ling took the thing, put it on his hand, and gently fanned himself with his other hand, the distance was not as good as just now, and the smell was very light, almost invisible.

"Did you say that smell came from it?"

Gu Changqing nodded, "That's exactly what it means." ”

"Then why did you say that when you opened the bottle just now, the smell was so pungent, and now that it is so close, it seems that the taste is very weak." Xie Ling asked.

Gu Changqing nodded, he also thought about this matter, so he said slowly, "I think it may be because it has been sealed in the bottle for a long time, and the aroma has gathered, so as soon as it is opened, the taste is so big." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, walked quickly to the table, poured a little water in his hand, and then took the thing and dipped it in the water a little, and from time to time, a strange fragrance in the air came over and filled the whole room.

The two of them ran out with their noses covered, and only took a sharp breath of fresh air when they were outside.

"What is this, so disgusting?" Xie Ling muttered, the strange fragrance just now seemed to linger in his nose and mouth.

The little black ball that was dissolved a little by the water was by no means the pungent fragrance at the beginning, nor was it the faint fragrance in the air, Xie Ling couldn't say it, but it was impossible to forget.
