Chapter Seventy-Five: Exterminating Demons (5)
After discussion, the four decided to return to the riverbank to find clues again.
Before they had yet to stand still, a letter was shot with an arrow, with the words "A gift for the Dragon King" written on it.
The person who sent the letter disappeared immediately, leaving everyone confused.
This person's cultivation is so high that even You Zhiqi can't know his whereabouts, don't know where he left from, and don't know that he has been here.
Although it was not signed, there is no doubt that the letter was addressed to You Zhiqi.
Suddenly, Mo Xiuxiu only felt that her body was numb, and after the screams were over, she fell to the ground, and what caused her to fall was a thick and sharp golden needle.
"Who was so careless as to leave this little thing by the overgrown river? Isn't that harmful? "Innocent victims, Mo Xiuxiu naturally wants to vent in her words.
Su Ci was a little worried: "This person wouldn't have assassinated Lord Dragon King in the name of giving gifts, but he accidentally injured Cheng Jiao's little apprentice......"
As soon as the words fell, a sharp pain came from Mo Xiuxiu's toes again, and an identical gold needle pierced her foot through the sole of her shoe so clearly.
Mo Xiuxiu cried out with tears in her eyes: "Xiaolong, I hurt so much!" β
You Zhiqi hurriedly squatted down and hugged her into his arms, relieving her pain with his own dragon breath.
The pain gradually subsided, and Mo Xiuxiu was still worried, "Will this golden needle be poisonous?" Will I be okay? β
You Zhiqi quickly picked her up, "I'm here, who dares to let you have an accident?" β
"Little Dragonβ"
For some reason, such a simple embrace made Mo Xiuxiu full of security, and even began to feel that signing a contract was not all bad.
Unfortunately, this idea only lasted for a short time before she rejected it. If she had the chance, she would have broken the contract.
This sense of security is nothing compared to freedom.
On the way back to the inn, Gong Xiqin carefully took the two golden needles in his hands to observe, and laughed from time to time: "The golden needles are not poisoned, Senior Sister Mo doesn't need to worry, maybe it's just a prank." β
Confirming that the golden needle was non-toxic, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and soon everyone fell into a new round of thinking.
Staring at the golden needle carefully, Gong Xiqin analyzed, "Could it be that these two golden needles were also left by the female demon?" After all, she had knocked on the door to borrow a needle, or accidentally dropped it in the process of giving the gold bead. β
Su Ci, who disagreed, hurriedly waved his hand: "This needle is thick and long, not like ordinary people's sewing needles, but like the kind used for special exercises." β
Mo Xiuxiu, who learned that the golden needle was non-toxic, was in a very comfortable mood, and half playfully ridiculed, "Yo! This female demon is still a practitioner. β
At the moment when Gong Xiqin collected the needle, You Zhiqi suddenly saw the cat on the needle, and hurriedly pressed her arm: "There seem to be three words written on this - Wang Blacksmith." β
There was a new discovery, Su Ci took one of the needles and observed it carefully: "Sure enough, the head of this golden needle is large and round and without holes, ordinary people should rarely need this thing, why don't we go to Blacksmith Wang and ask?" β
After some tossing and turning, the four of them finally found the right person.
The blacksmith was also cheerful, and did not hesitate to admit that this was his own craft.
"Villains are usually in the sword business, and no one has ever spent a lot of money on this delicate thing, so I was very impressed. The buyer was a girl wearing a mask, and she said it was a gift for someone. β
Su Ci's eyes immediately flickered: "Gift? This female demon created the golden needle really to harm the Dragon King! It's just that he accidentally injured Cheng Jiao's little apprentice. β
You Zhiqi shook his head, "Don't rush to a conclusion yet. β
The four of them continued to ask, and the blacksmith Wang said: "I didn't want to take this business, but this girl is really generous, who has a grudge against silver!" It took me a long time to work on this thing because it was so rare, so I took it upon myself to leave my name on each gold needle. β
Hearing this, Mo Xiuxiu sighed helplessly: "If you really have money, you can make a grinding ghost." β
"Didn't your master teach you to read? I can't even speak. Su Ci asked this sentence with a smile, thinking that she was a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it.
The misunderstood person crossed his hands in front of his chest with a serious and indifferent expression: "Money can make the devil push the mill is small money, as long as you can come up with more money...... What's so rare about grinding ghosts! β
After listening to this explanation, Su Ci inexplicably felt that her words were very reasonable.
In short, this Su Gongzi's position kept going back and forth in the conversation.
Gong Xiqin quietly put the gold needle back into the small satchel he carried with him.
You Zhiqi politely saluted the blacksmith: "Dare to ask, do you remember the appearance of this girl?" And when did she come to you to make the Golden Needle? β
After thinking seriously for a while, Blacksmith Wang replied: "At most, she is a fair-eyed person with a soft voice of Wu Nong, but I can see that she is a rich person, and she is ten taels of silver when she makes a move." β
After a pause, Blacksmith Wang said in a slightly regretful tone: "This was a long time ago! I haven't seen her since. β
A long time ago, I was a foreigner, and it was not easy to find.
Seeing that the four of them had solemn faces, the blacksmith Wang mysteriously pulled You Zhiqi's sleeve: "I shouldn't have leaked the privacy of the guests, but the villain didn't dare to hide it in front of the immortal monarch...... This little girl had gone to Wang Xiaomei's house in the east of the town two months ago. β
"Who is Wang Xiaomei?" Su Ci quickly concentrated.
"Wang Xiaomei is Zhang Ba's wife and the lover of the thin bamboo pole in the past. It's a pity that such a good girl didn't die well, and even her husband died on the same day. β
Blacksmith Wang replied with a little regret in his tone, and wanted to come...... He is also very sympathetic to Wang Xiaomei's tragic experience!
After hearing this, Su Ci analyzed matter-of-factly: "No wonder this female demon will leave a golden bead for the thin bamboo pole, she must be ashamed to kill his lover." β
After hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed in Mo Xiuxiu's mind: Do wicked people know what shame is?
Taking out the golden needle again, Gong Xiqin couldn't help but sigh: "I have to go to the east of this town, and I don't know if our trip will evoke the sad memories of their family." β
Blacksmith Wang immediately let out a sneer: "The only family member of the couple is also not easy to mess with!" Soon after Wang Xiaomei became pregnant, Zhang Ba took the outer room into the door.
The three of them had little social interaction with others and did not have a good relationship with their neighbors...... But the stench of temper in the outer room is well-known, and Wang Xiaomei was miscarried before entering the door, and scolded her all day long. β
Hearing this, Gong Xiqin couldn't help but start a fire: "The outer room is not even as good as a concubine, how can you be so nonsense in front of the original partner?" It's simply unorthodox. When I saw this outer room for a while, I had to beat him up, as if I was angry for Wang Xiaomei's mother and son! β
