Chapter 90: Go home for dinner
Outside the window, it seemed to be raining heavily, and the pre-dawn darkness was shrouded in rain and fog again, and there was nothing to be seen outside.
The little fox demon slept soundly in the room, and he didn't know what kind of dream he had, so he chirped and made a muffling sound.
Fu Duoxi pulled the charcoal brazier a few times with fire tongs, and the charcoal fire that was about to be extinguished came out with a few sparks and a burst of hot air. got up and reached out and touched the clothes on the hanger, they were already dry, and asked Yan Jiu to change his clothes, but Yan Jiu didn't come out for a long time.
Fu Duoxi didn't call anymore, Yan Jiu was so tired that he lay down and fell asleep and didn't want to get up.
Fortunately, she brought a change of clothes, so she wouldn't be embarrassed at this time, and Master Ji was not so good, and he was soaked from head to toe...... I don't know what clothes Miss Mo prepared for Master Ji.
Fu Duoxi really wants to know if Ji Yunshen takes off his blindfold when he changes clothes? Did those ugly camouflage that he painted around his eyes take off?
A string of sparks suddenly exploded, and Fudoki pressed down on the silver charcoal that was about to burn out with his fire tongs. He put down the tongs and wrapped his knees around his arms, his chin pressed against his arms, and recalled the scene when he jumped into the water.
What happened then?
Fu Duoxi grinned silently, why was he so nervous when he saw Ji Yunshen falling into the water. In the pavilion, I was not so nervous when I saw the little wooden figure jumping out of the water and pulling Yan Jiu into the water......
Outside the door, there was a soft knock.
"Who's out there?"
Fukudoki let go of his hand, tilted his head to look out the window, and then looked at the tightly chained door.
"Miss Duoxi, it's me, Mo Yingying."
Mo Yingying stood at the door with a butter umbrella, the edge of the umbrella kept dripping water, and strings of water droplets covered her like a curtain.
Fu Duoxi blocked the door and smiled at Mo Yingying, not planning to let her in. Yan Jiu and the little fox demon in the house all sneaked in, of course, they couldn't let Mo Yingying see it.
"I'll come and see what else you need here, the slaves and maids don't necessarily care, I'm afraid the girl will be embarrassed to speak."
"There's nothing I need, my clothes are almost baked."
Fu Duoxi closed the door behind him, leaving only a crack in the door to let in the light, and Miss Mo's face could be seen clearly.
Mo Yingying pressed her rain-soaked cheeks with a handkerchief, and finally pressed the handkerchief on her eyes, her eyes were very red, and the tears under her eyes would condense into tears at any time.
"I come to thank you. Master Ji said that you found my father's ......"
"It's pure coincidence, I didn't do anything, Miss Mo doesn't need to thank me. Is your father okay? ”
Fu Duoxi asked tentatively, and when Yan Jiu untied the bag made of water and grass and found Master Mo, Master Mo had no breath.
Fu Duoxi secretly took one of the pearls given to her by the river god and stuffed it into Master Mo's mouth, and the dead horses were all used as live horse doctors. If that pearl really had an effect, it would be at least able to exhale.
Mo Yingying nodded hurriedly, "The doctor has already seen it, and said that his life is worry-free, and he needs to recuperate quietly...... I don't know what kind of sin my father has suffered to become like that. What is that monster that you and Master Ki discovered? Why did the monster want to kill my father? ”
"This ......," Fudo paused, "You wait for Master Ji to find out the truth, I don't know very well." ”
The tree is very popular, and the monster also knows how to change into the richest man and enjoy the blessings!
Fukudoki thought so, but he wasn't quite sure. I have already asked Master Mo's birthday, and it doesn't seem to be anything special.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on Lord Ji. Fortunately, my father is alive, no matter how long it takes him to recover, as long as he lives, our Mo family will not be separated......"
Mo Yingying let go of the veil, and there was a soft smile on her face.
Seeing Mo Yingying leave, Fu Duoxi closed the door, turned around and saw Yan Jiu standing behind him, "You scared me!" ”
"How hi, are you still scared?"
"Why can't I be afraid?
Fudo pulled the hair from his shoulders, and he was really scared afterwards. In the past, she was a person who didn't even dare to look at dead cats and dead birds, but she knew that it was Master Mo in the water and grass bag, but she still brought people up. At that time, I wanted Ji Yunshen to sort out the case more smoothly......
"Tahi, you're not mortal. You can see what we can't see, and you can suppress those monsters. ”
Yan Jiu's words were right, and Fu Duoxi also realized that he did have something different.
"Don't talk about that, look at these things."
Fu Duoxi took out three wooden statues from the black bead bracelet and placed them on the table.
"Where did you get it? The carver is okay, who is carving, it looks a little weird......"
Yan Jiu picked up a wooden statue and looked at it carefully under the lamp, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the statue was ugly and embarrassed to say, so he quickly put it back in its place.
"I saw this thing pulling you into the water......"
"Really?"
Yan Jiu stood up in shock when he heard this, and reached out to take the wooden statue that had just been placed on the table in his hand.
"It's just an ordinary woodcut gadget,...... How so? ”
"This is the fourth. I've burned one. These two can't be burned, I haven't tried this yet. ”
Fu Duoxi turned to stare at the charcoal brazier, glanced at the wooden statue in Yan Jiu's hand again, and decided to give it a try. Anyway, there are two wooden statues for Ji Yunshen to use as evidence for the investigation of the case.
"You watch."
Fukutoki threw the wooden statue into the brazier, and the wooden statue suddenly stood up, its legs, feet and arms dancing in the fire, and its ugly wooden face and little head swaying from side to side.
"Youkai!"
Yan Jiu took out the demon collection scroll, but the scroll couldn't be opened, and he took the cloud sword, and the sword body couldn't be pulled out.
"Not a Yokai......"
Yan Jiu touched the back of his chest and fell into cognitive confusion.
Fu Duoxi picked up the little wooden figure with fire tongs and threw it to the ground, and the little wooden figure immediately turned back into a wooden statue and lay motionless on the ground.
"This ...... What the hell is it? ”
"I don't know."
Fu Duoxi originally thought that Yan Jiu was a well-informed person in the Xianmen, but it turned out that Yan Jiu didn't know these strange wooden statues, and Ji Yunshen was afraid that it would be more difficult to solve the case.
Fu Duoxi leaned over and picked up the wooden statue, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, as if he saw a word flashing out of the body of the wooden statue. It's just gone for a moment. She thought about it steadily, and it seemed to be the word "water".
Fudoki hurriedly took the other two wooden statues, changed their angles, and finally saw that each wooden statue had a word in its body.
"Metal, water, fire."
Hearing Fu Duoxi's words, Yan Jiu immediately patted his head, "Could it be the Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth?!" ”
"What's that?"
Fu Duoxi put away the three wooden statues and looked at Yan Jiu's excited face.
"It is a kind of Dao method that can resolve the Heavenly Tribulation of Ascending Immortals. I can't tell you the specifics...... Ah no, you are the ancestor, you must know better than me...... I am not good at learning, so I will study hard in the future. ”
Fu Duoxi ignored Yan Jiu's introspective nagging, took out the string of pearls given by the river god's mother-in-law and looked at it carefully, only to find that each pearl had a hidden pattern on it, which seemed to imply the meaning of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
After breakfast in Mo's Mansion after dawn, Fu Duoxi took a bag of silver handed by Miss Mo, and pinched it with his fingertips, but it was more than two hundred taels. Obviously, Miss Mo added another thank-you money......
"Fox Xiaomeng, it's time to go home for dinner."
Fu Duoxi turned his back and looked at the willow branches gently brushing under the rain curtain, and Ji Yunshen's white horse had gradually drifted away on the other side of the green willow.
