051 Scarlet Golem Mark (4th Watch)
Except for a small number of people in the Taishou Mansion who stayed behind to prepare for the distinguished guests from the imperial capital, the rest of them all went to search the mountains in full swing.
There was no progress on the deceased, but it was carefully found that the corner of the robe was torn, unlike when the branches of the trees in the forest were scratched or rolled down the mountain, and the stones were worn out, and the edges of the broken were neatly cut, which looked like man-made.
In addition, there is no doubt about the body, even some broken silver in the baggage is safely stored in a handkerchief.
That's why the damage is so unusual.
This time, things went well.
When I entered the mountain at dawn, before the sun had set, someone found a rag hanging on a low branch halfway up the mountain, which matched the clothes of the deceased.
But things are getting more and more difficult because of thisβa blood-colored golem mark is drawn on the broken step piece.
The whole mountain was silent, only the wind passed through the branches where most of the leaves had fallen, and in the whirring wind, the blood-colored puppet mark on that side looked particularly gloomy.
According to legend, there is a killer organization on the rivers and lakes, and its power is all over the states and counties of Dacheng and even every corner, and no one knows when it was established, but when the government noticed it, it had grown into a monster that was too big to shake.
They take orders and kill people, and they are never defeated.
They come and go without a trace, leaving a unique mark next to each corpse - the blood-colored golem mark.
The blood-colored puppet is the mark of the photo studio.
Xu Taishou ran extra diligently during the past two days. I can't say why, but I inexplicably feel that this eldest lady is smarter and more transparent than she imagined, she doesn't talk much, but every sentence or two can make people pause.
And I don't know if it's a coincidence, every time I come here, I can always meet Gu Ci nine times out of ten, this is the essence of the person, Lord Taishou is more and more like a fish in water, even if he runs away so much more than one or two taels of meat, he is also willing.
After all, someone is coming from above, and he still has two life lawsuits hanging in his hand, which is always not good-looking.
Shi Huan listened to Xu Taishou's chatter and complain, and ate the balls with a small spoonful of glass, and quietly did not answer. It sounds like it's a matter of the rivers and lakes, and she really doesn't understand the things on the rivers and lakes. The temperature of the small balls is just right, with the sweet glutinous rice fragrance, just his family's unique rice wine, the entrance is sweet and sour and not greasy at all, and one bite down, full of sesame fragrance.
And also...... Familiar flowers.
The glutinous rice dumplings were brought by Xie Jiang, in order to prevent Gu Ci from writing back to complain. In this way, even if he is beaten in the future, it can be said that it is to bring it to Miss Shi, presumably grandfather will not be able to do it, right? This is the method he has racked his brains for the past two days.
Regarding the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Xie Xiaogongzi naturally didn't understand, so he moved a position and moved to Shi Huan's side to bite her ear, "How is it?" Master didn't lie to you, right? Their dumplings are delicious! β
Shi Huan nodded and replied with a smile, "Hmm." β
Xie Xiaogongzi didn't know that they had already tasted it when they went to the painting boat that day. After touching the wall countless times on Gu Ci's side, Shi Huan's affirmation made him feel that he had finally found a like-minded "confidant", his interest was very high, and he began to talk more, "You have been in Taihe County all these years, Ah knows that there is delicious food and fun everywhere, take this master around these days!" β
"Although I have been in Taihe County for four years, I rarely go out. At most, I went to the street at the east gate and bought some clothes and jewelry. Shi Huan put aside the glass cup and said softly, "I want to come to the place I know, but I don't know much about Gongzi Xie." β
"Then the master will take you!"
The interest is high, and the sound is naturally not limited to biting the ear.
Gu Ci was originally listening to Xu Taishou's words, and when he heard the words, he coughed. The coughing sound was very light, so natural that even Xu Taishou next to him didn't pay attention to it, and Xie Xiaogongzi, who was very interested, was suddenly stunned, smiled, shrunk his head, and lowered his voice, "Hehe......"
After laughing, I touched the back of my head, where did the yin wind come from......
Gu Ci withdrew his cool eyes, held the folding fan and rested it on his lap, leaned over and straightened out the corners of his robe, before straightening up and saying, "The mark of the photo studio is also famous now, and this is true and false has not yet been distinguished, but I am not in a hurry to make a conclusion." Now, I'll go with you to see the corpse. β
"Okay! Okay! Xu Taishou was like being amnestied, and almost immediately got up and walked out, touching his beard that he had carefully cared for every day, nodding secretly, and walking two steps to see that Gu Ci did not move, and turned around puzzled.
was about to ask, so he listened to Gu Ci instruct Xie Jiang, "Little Master Xie, together?" β
Xie Jiang: ...... What has he done in the past? He wasn't even interested in the dead or the corpses!
I was arrogant in my heart, but I didn't dare on my face. Xie Jiang was in love with Aidi, and it seemed that a nail had been nailed under his buttocks, and after a while, he said, "Master, I'll forget it...... I...... I was dizzy when I saw blood...... Yes, dizzy! As he spoke, his hand was already on his forehead.
Xu Taishou was extremely upright, "Little Master Xie, please rest assured, there is no blood, and he will die if he falls." β
Xie Jiang: ...... Suddenly feel that this Xu Taishou is very uncute, what's going on? Have you been with Gu Ci for a long time? He who touches pitch will be defiled?
"Let's go." Gu Ci's eyes were cold, and he meant something, "If Xie Lao asks in the future, it will always seem that he is of some usefulness......"
Get! Xie Jiang bit the back of his teeth, this shameless, threaten him!
Shi Huan looked at the two of them "fighting wits and courage" and thought it was funny, but Xie Jiang, the old man had a saying that was quite right...... It's very pleasing. She got up with a smile, "Since Xiao Gongzi Xie is dizzy when he sees the blood criminal, it's useless to think about it." β
"Yes, yes, yes! Nothing to do! After the reconciliation, I felt as if this was not a good word...... Xie Jiang, who reacted, secretly turned around and winked at Shi Huan: Girl, can't you pick something good?
Shi Huan didn't understand his eyebrows, she just remembered her painting, which had just been framed and sent it yesterday, and Hanyan went out early this morning, and she didn't take it away, and she was still in her yard at this time. originally wanted to let Gu Ci take him away, but now Gu Ci wants to see the deceased.
This matter naturally fell on Xie Jiang's head.
"Why don't you lend Gongzi Xie to me for a while?" She was rarely playful, "I'm here for his use." β
"Okay." Gu Ci nodded naturally, and didn't ask what was the use, but only ordered, "He is very unreliable most of the time, don't jump up and down with him, I'm tired of myself." β
The corners of Xie Jiang's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak, when he saw Gu Ci's warmth when he spoke, and the eyes that came over him...... Cool to the bone!
I'm scared to death!
Don't say anything at the moment, shut up.
It wasn't until Gu Ci left that Xie Jiang felt alive, but when he knew that his so-called "usefulness" was just to bring a painting back to the Fu family "by the way", he suddenly felt that Miss Shi must have been with Gu Ci for a long time......
