Chapter 285 Another skull
Shi Qingxue was startled by the strange thoughts that flashed in her mind, and quickly shook her head, throwing away that weird idea?
The two have never met, and today is the first time they have met, and the words they say can be counted on one finger, how could she think that this shopkeeper would look at herself with that kind of pampering, similar to the eyes of the elders looking at the juniors?
It's crazy!
But when she turned her head to look at Mo Junyang, she saw that the latter was staring at the shopkeeper of You Ji Pawnshop with a cold face, his eyes were cold and stern.
It seems that if he doesn't stop him, when he gets out of this door, he will kill this bastard who dares to covet him.
"Jun Yang?" Shi Qingxue pulled Mo Junyang's sleeve uneasily and screamed quietly.
Whenever Mo Junyang showed such a look, even if she hadn't understood what had happened, she always had an uneasy premonition.
Then the worried gaze couldn't be taken away from Mo Junyang.
It seems that if she doesn't do something anymore, she and Mo Junyang will end up like in their previous life.
Mo Junyang's gaze only stayed on You Ji's shopkeeper for a few seconds, and he quickly regained his composure, and turned to Qingxue with a reassuring smile.
Whispered, "I'm fine." ”
Shi Qingxue had deep doubts about Mo Junyang's words, but the shopkeeper at the head of You Ji had already confirmed Shi Qingxue's identity and spoke again: "You are really Miss Qingxue, it's really good!" The little one today can finally live up to the expectations of his master and be able to hand over this thing to you. ”
You Ji shopkeeper didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly stuffed the thing wrapped in red cloth into Shi Qingxue's hand, not letting her refuse.
"Eh, wait, what the hell is this?" Although Shi Qingxue was very curious, what was Shi Lei's relic? But something like this that was suddenly stuffed in someone's hand, she was a little strange!
The shopkeeper You Ji didn't explain until this time, but looked at Shi Qingxue with an extremely solemn gaze, and lowered his voice, almost only the two of them heard, "The thing is...... I don't know exactly what I'm going to give you. But there's one thing...... I want you to tell you, whatever decision you make in the end, please be kind to this thing. ”
His words were intermittent, especially when it came to the critical moment, his voice was so small that he could barely hear Shi Qingxue clearly.
After finishing speaking, before Qingxue came back to her senses, she said directly: "The little one has completed the master's entrustment, so don't bother, say goodbye!" ”
"Eh, wait!" Shi Junhe was also engrossed in this person's words just now, but unfortunately he didn't hear a word clearly, he was confused, and he was about to catch this guy and ask clearly.
Who would have thought that the shopkeeper just glanced at Shi Junhe meaningfully, smiled, and left without speaking.
I can't even scream.
Shi Junhe didn't let his subordinates stop him, and his subordinates couldn't be rude to this shopkeeper, so they could only watch him swagger out of Shi's house.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, the atmosphere in the living room became strange again.
Before the situation became more serious, Shi Junhe forcibly terminated the conversation and asked everyone to go back to their homes.
Mo Shujun saw that Shi Junhe's attention shifted to the so-called Shi Lei's relics—although she was also curious—and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and did not chase after Shi Qingxue to find out what the red cloth wrapped was, and went directly back to her Shou'an Hall.
Shi Junhe came back to Dongyuan with the people in the big house.
"Qingxue, open it and take a look, what is inside?" Shi Junhe closed the door of the study and hurriedly asked.
The tone of the question was subtle.
After all, in the misunderstanding in the living room just now, the most injured person was not Shi Baoning, who was ignored by outsiders, but him, Shi Lei's eldest son!
Shi Lei has relics to give to future generations, even if he doesn't give them to Mo Shujun, he should give them to him, the eldest son, right?
Why does it have to be handed over to Shi Qingxue?
Even if it was his own daughter, Shi Junhe couldn't help but look Shi Qingxue up and down, wondering what kind of charm this girl had enough for her father to leave him alone?
Shi Qingxue didn't immediately open the package in her hand as Shi Junhe said, but asked strangely, "Daddy, haven't you noticed?" The man just now ...... It's kind of quirky. ”
Even Mo Junyang noticed that the shopkeeper of You Ji, the other party was definitely not as simple as a small pawnshop shopkeeper.
Shi Junhe didn't see what the problem was, and replied casually: "Probably before he came, the master explained how he spoke, so it's not surprising that he unconsciously brought the master's tone when he spoke." ”
"No, not the problem!" Shi Qingxue said firmly.
Then, as if recalling the scene at that time, his tone slowed down and was a little uncertain, "When he later mentioned his so-called master, he used words like 'expectation' and 'live up to it', as if, as if it was ......"
"Seems like what? What's so strange about that? Shi Junhe didn't think there was anything wrong with this, as if he didn't say anything, but he still admired his father and hoped to live up to Shi Lei's expectations for him......
Shi Qingxue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded with a look of joy that had found the point, and said, "That's right, that's the problem!" For the people we care about, relatives, and elders, we all have this psychology to a greater or lesser extent, but we definitely won't mention our elders in his reminiscence-like tone, as if the elders have passed away.
Right? Big sister, you must feel this way too, right? ”
In order to seek recognition, Qingxue turned her attention to Shi Baoning again.
Shi Baoning remained silent from the moment he entered the house, and was suddenly asked by Shi Qingxue, his face was stunned for a moment, but then turned to a sneer, "Grandfather has never regarded me as my father's daughter, how dare I feel like this?" ”
Shi Qingxue: "......"
She knew that with Shi Baoning's sensitivity, the words of the shopkeeper just now were definitely like the sharpest thorns, piercing into Shi Baoning's heart.
“…… Big sister, you misunderstood! Shi Qingxue defended Shi Lei with difficulty: "Grandpa, he definitely doesn't think so, it's all, it's all ......"
She racked her brains, but she couldn't think of a good statement.
Facing Shi Baoning's mocking gaze, she suddenly felt that her heart was also hurting as if she had been pricked by a needle.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said decisively: "Grandpa loves you so much, he will definitely not say such a thing." Didn't I just say that? It is likely that the master of the shopkeeper has passed away; The master of his family received the entrustment from his grandfather, and then entrusted it to him, during which he passed two hands, and it is normal for mistakes to occur! ”
She tried her best to say good things for Shi Lei, almost with a lotus tongue, but she didn't want Shi Baoning to have any misunderstanding about Shi Lei.
But Shi Baoning was completely unmoved by her words, and just looked at her coldly, which made her even more overwhelmed.
"That's it!" Still Shi Junhe couldn't see it, interrupted the confrontation between the two sisters with a loud voice, and forcefully terminated the topic, "Now is not the time to talk about this, Qingxue, you better open the things first and see what it is, right?" ”
Shi Qingxue saw that all their attention was not on the suspicious shopkeeper, so she obediently opened the red cloth to reveal what was inside.
"Huh?"
The red cloth revealed a white, curved sheet, like a ...... Human bones!
"Ahh
When Shi Baoning realized what was in Shi Qingxue's hand, he suddenly screamed in shock, and suddenly hid behind Wen Renchi, trembling, and didn't dare to take another look at Shi Qingxue.
Everyone didn't react much at first, but they were taken aback by her startling behavior.
Although Shi Qingxue also felt frightened—especially this human bone was still held in her hand without hindrance to observe—she still held back her fear and continued to observe the human bone in her hand.
She was so frightened that she swallowed, but her little hands still tentatively groped for the bone fragments.
Based on the curve and size of this human bone, it should be a human skull.
And...... When her fingers touched the arc of the skull, she slammed and subconsciously looked up at Mo Junyang, "...... here"
As soon as she opened her mouth, her words were stopped by Mo Junyang - the two are now so familiar that they don't need to speak, just a look can understand what the other party wants to express.
Although Shi Qingxue wondered why Mo Junyang suddenly shouted to stop at this time, she instinctively closed her mouth out of trust in the man.
The others were being frightened by the fact that the so-called relic was a skull, and they didn't even notice the interaction between the two men.
After a while, Shi Junhe said firmly: "This will definitely not be my father's skull." ”
Shi Qingxue nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, all the bones I saw in my grandmother's dark room just now are complete, and it is impossible for grandpa to let people shave his skull, and then let people hand it over to me after a few years as a token, right?" ”
It's scary to think about!
If Shi Lei really did this, Qingxue would definitely not be his favorite granddaughter at that time, but the granddaughter he hated the most.
But here comes the problem again.
If it wasn't Shi Lei's skull, who was the skull in Qingxue's hand at that time?
It can't be the enemy skull left by Shi Lei after killing the enemy once, and then he will hand it over to his little granddaughter after a hundred years, just to exercise whether the little granddaughter is brave enough?
Think about it...... None of them are reliable.
Just when everyone racked their brains and couldn't come up with a reason, Mo Junyang suddenly said: "If I'm not mistaken, this skull belongs to a woman." ”
Shi Qingxue didn't suspect where Mo Junyang came to such a conclusion at all, and asked directly, "Who's?" ”
Mo Junyang shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know.
Then he looked at Shi Junhe again, and said lightly: "We are only looking at a human bone, and there are only a few things we can guess after all, and Qingxue said just now that the shopkeeper of the You Ji pawnshop is very suspicious." General Shi does not let go of starting from this direction! ”
Shi Junhe's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and said, "That's right, let's check the shopkeeper first!" ”
After that, he called Shi Jie and arranged the investigation.
And Mo Junyang took advantage of this gap and directly pulled Shi Qingxue out of the study.
After Shi Junhe explained everything, only Dong Hui, Shi Baoning and Wen Renchi were left in the study.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
