Chapter 44: Clues

The wooden door that stood majestically closed heavily. On the open flat ground, the steps carved from a hundred steps of gold wire jade are progressive, and the texture of the water flow is unpredictable, revealing a shallow waxy luster. The moonlight turned into a handful of cool stream water and poured down. Ancient and intricate runes are engraved on the gates, mysterious and majestic. In the center of the wooden door, a square piece of cold jade with smooth polishing is inlaid. Shen Wan pressed his palm tightly, and a red light as bright as a stream of fire burst out from between his fingers, lighting up the dark night sky overhead.

"Click."

The door lock suddenly opened, and Shen Wan gently pushed in, and the time followed. The five fingers of the two of them could not be seen in the library, and the subtle breathing of the two of them resounded in the vast area, hitting the stone wall and bouncing, accompanied by an ethereal echo. Shen Wan pressed the apprehension in her heart, took a deep breath, waved her hands to the sides, and made a few "poof" sounds, and the room was illuminated by the firelight, revealing rows of quaint wooden bookshelves.

"Beigong! Beigong! Where are you? Shen Wan knew that he couldn't hear it, but he still shouted, just to give himself courage.

"Where are youβ€”"

"Whereβ€”"

"Which-"

The echo lingers for a long time.

Ying Shi frowned, and also called loudly:

"Childe! Are you there? Son!! ”

"It's useless, he can't hear it." Shen Wan calmed down her fluctuating emotions and said softly.

"What do you mean?" I was confused.

"Your son-in-law has been deaf for more than ten days after that fire." Her voice trembled slightly, and every time she mentioned the subject, she couldn't speak calmly.

Looking at Ying Shi's palpitating and unbelievable expression, Shen Wan's heart throbbed and clenched her fists: Shen Wan! You're all responsible! Beigong does this to you, and you? It brought him nothing but pain.

"How can you ......," Ying Shi muttered, his eyes red. Seeing this, Shen Wan bowed his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry ......"

There was so much silence that even the air seemed to freeze.

"Let's find Childe first." Ying Shi sniffed, put away his emotions, and said lightly.

"Hmm."

The two of them searched for the bookshelves on the north and south sides, but they didn't find anything. Shen Wan was like a loss of strength, sliding down a little bit against the wall. Panic is like an all-pervasive monster, and a chill wells up in his heart: he can't hear it, and the dark forces of the Fire Clan have not shown up for a long time, if Beigong rashly appears without understanding, she really doesn't know what those people will do......

"Miss Shen! Come and see! Shen Wan's scurrying thoughts were pulled back to reality, and she stood up sharply and rushed in the direction of the time. An extremely concealed cassette on the side of the bookshelf was opened, and it was empty. She frowned: she didn't know what it was, but it seemed to be the only clue in the library after Beigong's disappearance.

"I don't know what's in the dark compartment. Tomorrow you will go to my father and ask him about it, and I hope you will find him......"

"Okay."

-------------------------------------

The sunlight shines through the flowing clouds as thin as cicada wings, and spreads all over the glazed green tiles, shining with a little bit of rolling gold, which is extremely bright.

"Stop, stop! Stop me here! Check them one by one! A rugged male voice yelled.

Gu Ying probed in from outside the curtain of the car, bowed down and said: "Childe, according to the city guards, a group of Jianghu killers have recently poured into Pi Kingdom, and every city gate needs to be strictly inspected, please wait for a while." ”

"Hmm." Wei Chi closed his eyes and said lightly.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Live in Xiaxuan."

"Yes."

Wei Chixuan put on a human skin mask, and immediately changed into an ordinary person, crossing the threshold, his white clothes fluttering, although his appearance was covered, the aura around him still could not be ignored, causing the guests to raise their heads one after another. A bearded man was wiping the table and chairs, and Gu Ying walked over and said:

"You're the shopkeeper, aren't you?"

"Yes." He looked at Wei Chi's outfit and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry guest officer, a group of caravans came to the shop before, and there are quite a few of them. The leader spent a lot of money to leave the Tianzi room in the inn, and now it is basically full, and only the rough room is left, I am afraid that you will not be used to it. ”

Gu Ying said: "My son-in-law doesn't choose, give us one." ”

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then said cheerfully: "Okay, you wait." ”

"Shopkeeper, my son-in-law, there is something I want to ask, if you answer truthfully, I will give this to you." Gu Ying swept a gold ingot in his hand and said.

The big man lived so big, he had never seen so much money, his eyes were round for a moment, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The small ones do some inconspicuous business on weekdays. I'm afraid I won't know about your son-in-law's problem, and I can't accept this money. ”

"Don't say no too soon." Gu Ying took out a scroll from his sleeve, spread it out from top to bottom, pointed to the person on the portrait, and said, "Shopkeeper, have you ever seen this person?" ”

The big man looked at it carefully, raised his eyes and said, "It's a little impressive." ”

"He should have only stayed for one night, right? Who did he come into contact with and what he did that day? To be more detailed, this ingot of gold is yours. ”

"This boy stayed in the twilight and, like you, brought only one attendant. As for what he did, he just went to the front alley to buy some horseshoe cakes, and then returned to the inn and never went out again. He looked up, saw Gu Ying frowning, and hurriedly said:

"This son, don't believe it, although my Tian Si has no culture, after so many years of inn opening, he can be regarded as having the ability to recognize people and never forget. Besides, that boy looks noble, and I am naturally more impressed. What I say is 100% true, you can not give me money, but that's all I have to say. ”

"Smack." Gu Ying put the gold on the table and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, thank you, this gold belongs to you." ”

"Let's go." Wei Chi said lightly.

After the two left, the guests who were familiar with Tian Si gathered one after another, stared at the ingot of gold, and murmured:

"Wow... Tian Si! You have met a big donor and made a fortune! It's amazing, it's terrible, and I'll have to take care of our brothers in the future. ”

"That's it, Tian Si, you're generous, but don't forget about us!"

"Tsk, that boy is really generous! Tian Si, what kind of luck are you, it's amazing! ”

……

"Ho, water chestnut cake, freshly baked, delicious and not expensiveβ€”β€”"

"Childe, it's that one." Gu Ying pointed to a very small shop in front of him with a large number of customers.

"Boss! My son-in-law wants all of these! The boss was so busy that he didn't look at it and scolded:

"Where did the kid make trouble, if you want to buy it, you have to queue up! Don't you see so many people in front of you? He lifted his eyes, caught a glimpse of the splendor of gold, and said no more.

Gu Ying said again: "Everyone, my son-in-law has a treat today, you each take three, and go home early." Here, my son-in-law has something to talk about with his boss. ”

Someone treats you, how can there be any reason not to appreciate it? And when they had finished taking it in order, they quickly went back to their respective homes. Gu Ying saw the boss staring at the piece of gold, his eyes were straight, and he sneered in his heart, and then asked, "Boss, have you ever seen this person?" ”

When the boss saw the person in the painting, he tried his best to think about it, and after a while he said slowly:

"There are hundreds of people who come to my shop every day, I just vaguely remember that this son came to the store to buy cakes that day, and there seemed to be a little girl next to him, I can't remember the specifics, I'm really embarrassed......" He glanced at the ingot of gold lying in Gu Ying's hand, swallowed his saliva, and added:

"The girl was dressed in shabby clothes, and miserable thin, and did not at all look like the child's child; But I saw that the boy and the little girl got along well, but I thought maybe it was the same thing. That's what I thought at the time, so I'm kind of impressed now. ”

Wei Chi frowned, and wondered: Che doesn't like children at all on weekdays, to be precise, he doesn't like anything except mountains and rivers, poetry and songs, how can he be with children?

Gu Ying said in a deep voice: "Is what the boss said true?" If you make it up for profit, this ingot of gold will naturally not be given to you. ”

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and argued: "Oh, this son! I, Hu, admit that I am a person who loves to be cheap. But you see I'm just a common man who makes horseshoe cakes, and my mother told me since I was a child that deceiving people is a matter of unconscionable conscience, and there must be no such thing, I ......"

"How old is that girl that day?" Wei Chi asked lightly.

"The girl's face was dirty, her hair was unkempt, like a little flower child, and it was not easy to identify her age. I guess I'm only in my teens. Hearing this, Wei Chi waved his robe, and Gu Ying put down the gold and left.

……

Inside Luoxia Xuan.

Yu Chixuan sat on the dilapidated wooden chair by the window, staring at the sparkling waves in the pool outside the window without blinking, as if he was pondering something.

"Knock knock" Gu Ying, who was meditating and resting on the side, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I'll take a look." ”

"Hmm."

"Childe, there is a person who claims to be from the rivers and lakes and wants to ask you for something."

"Ask him to come in."

With a "squeak", the door that was not closed tightly had a tendency to collapse, and a masked man in a black suit entered, his steps were light, his breathing was steady, and his internal force was unfathomable. Wei Chixuan blinked in surprise, and then asked:

"Why did this son come?"

"Your Royal Highness must know about 'smiling', right? I came here today to buy you the antidote of the flavor of Hansi grass. As long as you make an offer, no matter how much, I can accept it. ”

Wei Chi was surprised, and he was happy: this person with strong martial arts is actually a woman! She knew that 'Hanxiao', could it be that there were other people besides Che who had this poison in their bodies? But how did she reveal his identity in one word, and how strong financial resources did she have to say the bold words of "let him make a price"? Who the hell is she?

Although he had mixed feelings in his heart, he asked quietly:

"Can you see clearly, the man who poisoned him?"
