Chapter 38 Jade Carving
Li Huaiyun raised his hand to stop it, and then took out the token of the Demon Slayer Division, "Sister!" Let's investigate the case, don't disturb the Oiran girls. ”
"Sister! Childe's little mouth is so sweet! The old bustard covered her mouth with a fan and snickered secretly, no young man would ever call her like this, and this call suddenly made her feel twenty years younger.
"On this trip, I want to meet with the snow master and ask some questions! I don't have any other ideas. ”
"Wait a minute! I'm going to call someone to inform the snow master. ”
The happiness on the bustard's face was hard to hide.
After waiting for a while, Li Huaiyun and Ah Tian were led by someone through the corridor in the courtyard to the wing where the snow master was.
At this time, the doors of the house where the priest Oiran lived were all closed.
Last night, Bailu Tower didn't disperse until midnight, and basically everyone was resting.
The door of the wing room was pushed open, and Li Huaiyun stepped in first, and saw Oiran sitting at the table, with a disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, without any grooming at all.
Xue Shi was shocked when she saw the person who came in, it was actually Li Huaiyun, she stood up in a hurry, looked panicked, and then sorted out her hair and clothes with her hands, "Li... Li Gongzi! How did you come here, they said it was you? ”
She shouted the maid's name a few times outside, but found that no one responded, "Where did Cui Ping go?" No one has been seen since last night, and neither was there this morning. ”
"Li Gongzi, you sit down first, I'll clean it up, it's really hard to see people like this mess."
Li Huaiyun waved his hand and said with a serious face, "Miss Xueshi, no need, I came here to tell you!" By the way, ask a few questions, you must tell the truth, otherwise, the Demon Slayer Division will have to invite you to go. ”
Seeing Li Huaiyun's attitude, the person who followed behind her also had a serious face, and she couldn't help but get nervous in her heart, she shrank back stiffly, leaned forward with her entire upper body, and lowered her head, "Yes!" The little woman must tell the truth. ”
Li Huaiyun glanced at the full mountain peak under the transparent green shirt, he coughed lightly, suppressed his impulse, and then learned from her, the maid named Cuiping, "Do you usually notice that there is anything strange about her?" ”
Xue Shi was a little nervous in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Qi... Odd? Not really! Sometimes, somehow I am not in the building and I don't know where to go! ”
"But come back soon, and sometimes go out in the middle of the night! She seems to have a place to live outside, I guess she must be living with some man! ”
It's true that he is with a man, but not with a man, but with other women.
Li Huaiyun then asked some other questions, which were relatively normal, and the handmaiden's behavior was quite normal.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Did she ever entrust something to you?" ”
"Ahh Xue Shi was suddenly stunned, and then asked timidly, "Master Li, where did you find out?" ”
Li Huaiyun and Ah Tian glanced at each other, and as expected, he immediately said to Xue Shi, "What did I give you?" Show me that thing! ”
Seeing that the two of them were quite anxious, Xue Shi hurriedly turned around, took out a box from under the bed, opened it, flipped it over, and as a result, let out a loud sound
Li Huaiyun and Ah Tian looked at each other in unison, "What's wrong?" ”
The snow master took the box and said in a trembling voice, "It's gone!" That's gone! How could it be gone! I remember putting it in this wooden box.
Li Huaiyun said in a deep voice, "Is it a mistake, or I forgot to put it somewhere else?" ”
"Huh!" She showed a panicked look, and then looked at Li Huaiyun, "This can't be!" I obviously put it in here. ”
Ah Tian frowned, "Sure enough, it was taken away!" Since it's not here, where will the fox demon put it? ”
"It should still be in this room!" Li Huaiyun said calmly, "This fox demon is just a trick. ”
He said to the Snow Master, "You look for all the places where you hide things!" ”
The snow master lay back on the side of the bed, bent over and turned his back to them, and his full and graceful figure made people's hearts surge.
Ah Tian asked puzzled, "Ah Yun, why are you so sure?" What kind of scheming is the fox demon playing? ”
Li Huaiyun said with a smile, "The fox demon returned to the Hyacinth Tower for only one purpose, to hide the things again, in order to find out if someone found out about the snow master, so that she couldn't find the thing, and she would think that she had lost the thing." ”
"I see! Let's think it took the thing, but the thing has been in the house all along. ”
Ah Tian squeezed the handle of the knife heavily, "This fox demon is indeed cunning enough!" ”
I guess I studied psychology! Anticipate someone else's prediction!
The snow master searched all over the places where the things were placed, and finally found the things that the maidservant had given her in a box.
She happily stepped forward and handed the thing over, "This is it!" ”
This is a jade carving the size of an index finger, similar to the jade carving found in the living room of the military official's home, and the carving looks quite strange.
Li Huaiyun took the jade carving, looked at this thing carefully, and couldn't remember what this thing looked like before, but after entering the room, he finally guessed what this jade statue looked like.
This jade the size of an index finger was carved like a dry branch, just like the withered osmanthus tree, which also reminded him that the black-robed man before was also close to the trunk of the willow tree, and then slowly disappeared.
He said to Ah Tian, "This jade carving is in the shape of a tree trunk, it must be related to that black-robed man!" ”
With this thing, it should be easy to divide the two of them.
"Snow Master! You, maidservant, did you tell you what this jade carving is for? ”
Xue Shi shook his head, "She didn't say what this thing was for, she only said that this jade carving was obtained in one place, which can ensure the safety of one party." ”
"Where is it?"
The Snow Master shook his head again. "I don't know!"
"She just let you keep it? Didn't say why? ”
Xue Shi thought for a while and sighed, "They are all women from poor families, just save some money for themselves, and if something happens in the future, they can use this as some money to tide over difficulties." ”
"Okay! I know! Li Huaiyun nodded and said to Ah Tian, "Let's go!" ”
"Wait a minute!" Xue Shi showed a puzzled look, grabbed Li Huaiyun's cuffs and asked, "Childe, what's wrong with Cui Ping?" Why did the Demon Slayer Division check her. ”
Li Huaiyun shook his head helplessly, and could only tell the specific thing.
"What are you talking about, Cui Ping is a monster?" Xue Shi couldn't believe her ears, this was a servant girl who had been with her for several years, getting along day and night, and after knowing that the servant girl was a monster, she couldn't believe this fact.
"Childe, is there something wrong!"
"This is the truth, the goal set by the Demon Slayer Division will not be wrong."
"But she has been with me for several years, and she has been doing very well, if it is a demon, how can I survive until now."
Li Huaiyun knew that it was difficult for this woman to accept this fact, and the person who had lived with him for a long time and was like a sister was indeed a monster, which was difficult for anyone to accept.
His hand fell on the snow-white and tender shoulder of the snow master, "This monster is not harmful, but has other plans, I hope you accept this fact." ”
"Now like this, I feel very messed up!" As she spoke, she left tears in her eyes
Li Huaiyun glanced at Angel and motioned for him to go out and wait for a while, and he had something to say to this Oiran.
Ah Tian glanced at Li Huaiyun, understood his hint, shook the scabbard, turned around and left the Xueshi's room, and gently closed the door.
Li Huaiyun watched Ah Tian leave the wing, reached out to the waist of the snow master, and hugged the plump body, tears made this haggard woman even more touching.
He gently wiped the tears from Xueshi's face, "Don't cry, don't cry!" Without that servant, wouldn't there still be me? ”
"With you?" Thinking of this, Xue Shi inexplicably burst out of anger, "You are untrustworthy and unkind. ”
"How do you say that?"
"You asked me to play chess with Sister Lan last night, and you said that if you break a piece of chess pieces, you will take off a piece of clothing, but we all took it off later, but you disappeared without a trace, and you didn't come back until this morning, so I and Sister Lan waited for a long time."
"Come back at this time, it's for other things, huh!" Xue Shi frowned and glared at Li Huaiyun with a resentful expression, "Didn't you say you were making fun of us?" ”
"I'm a demon hunter, and I left just to keep Bailu Lou safe, do you think the girl is making fun of you?"
When Xue Shi heard this, he was speechless, and threw himself directly into his arms, twisting his graceful body and coquettishly, and then began to cry again.
Li Huaiyun's hand on her waist squeezed it gently, "Don't cry!" I'm crying, but no one dares to come to you. ”
"Li Gongzi, make fun of the slave family!" Xue Shi pouted, looking shy.
"That's it!" Li Huaiyun pushed the plump body in his arms away, "There are still important things to do, so I won't stay longer!" ”
"Is the boy coming at night?"
"At night!" Li Huaiyun looked embarrassed, "I can't say, you must know that it has not been very stable in recent days, if you have free time, you will come here to gather." ”
He said with a wicked smile, "When the time comes, you will also call the ylang-ylang Oiran, and the two of you will be together, wouldn't it be beautiful!" ”
Li Huaiyun thought in his heart, the two Oiran together, I only need to make a tea circle, so I can't save a penny, I'm really smart enough.
Xue Shi's face was a little gloomy, "If that boy comes here, can't we let the two women lie in bed and talk until dawn like last night, and do nothing." ”
Li Huaiyun laughed indifferently, "The Oiran lady is too worried!" I promise not to do such a ridiculous thing. ”
"There is indeed something important, farewell!" Before leaving, Li Huai patted the plump buttocks vigorously, and after hearing the pleasant cry, he left the room satisfied.
Ah Tian was waiting outside, and when he saw Li Huaiyun coming out, he asked with a smile, "How!" ”
"Run!"
They left the hyacinth and walked down the street.
Ah Tian asked suspiciously, "What is the purpose of this jade carving?" ”
"It should have a lot of effect! It's not just about shielding all kinds of special breaths. ”
"Where do we go next? Ask the fox demon clearly? ”
"Nope! The fox demon was already fearless of death, and wanted to ask something from its mouth, but it was unlikely, or start with that military official, after all, this bastard still has a lot of lives on his hands. ”
Ah Tian said indignantly, "This guy's crime is not punishable!" ”
