Chapter 24: The Sparrow Pattern
Gu Shiwei's heart trembled, her breathing became slightly short, and she repeated along with Li Yunshu's words: "Flying sparrows? ”
Li Yunshu was questioned by Gu Shiwei like this, and he was a little uncertain in an instant.
He pursed his chapped lips and explained, "I like to carve seals in the middle of the night, our genre is all about one go, and it is not easy to be disturbed in the dead of night. ”
"It was almost time for my wife and children to turn off the lights, and suddenly a long sword rested on my neck."
Li Yunshu said, turned his head, and pointed to the wound on his neck. A line wide, black and scabbed.
"My lady was afraid that the light was not bright enough, so I was blind early, she didn't know where she heard it, saying that there were a few more mirrors in the house, so that the hall could be brighter at night, so I stuffed several copper mirrors in the Bogu shelf opposite my desk, as well as screens and other places."
"The sword was on my neck, and the man was standing behind me, but he never showed up, and I saw his face in the bronze mirror."
Hearing this, Gu Shiwei interrupted Li Yunshu's words, "Can't that person see the bronze mirror on Bogu's shelf?" ”
Before Li Yunshu could speak, Master Jia hurriedly explained, "This rabbit cub is chaotic in his daily work, and there is almost no place for him to stay in his study. ”
"The Bogu shelves of others are all placed with a treasure in one compartment, and he is a huss through the seams. Anyone who has been there can testify, not to mention the bronze mirror, it is a pickle jar in it, and no one else can find it except him. ”
Gu Shiwei thought of the messy pile of stones piled up at the head of Master Jia's shop, and reluctantly believed one or two.
It may be true that there are teachers and disciples!
"You go on."
Li Yunshu nodded, and said tremblingly, "It is precisely because I saw it in the bronze mirror, so I only saw a vague approximation, and vaguely felt that it was a bird's head." ”
He said, affirmatively, "It's not the kind we usually have, or the kind of auspicious phoenix finch pattern embroidered on the clothes, birds and beasts standing sideways, with their heads held high and their tail feathers clear." It's just a bird's head. ”
As he spoke, he looked around, but when he saw no paper, he stood up suddenly, and with a flick of his hand into the master's arms, he pulled out a scroll, which he turned over to reveal the back.
Ignoring Lord Jia's frightened appearance, he dug into his sleeve pocket again, took out an eyebrow pencil used by a little lady for thrushes, and drew it on the paper.
"I remember it was like this, two big dark eyes, very round. The bridge of the nose is painted with horizontal stripes, and the mask looks like a fluttering moth. But if there is a pair of human eyes in the hole of these two eyes. ”
"It's like a sparrow in the mountains! When I was young, I used to catch finches to eat in the winter, so I was very familiar with them. I think it's a sparrow. ”
Gu Shiwei glanced at the picture scroll, and a storm set off in his heart.
Her lips trembled, but she didn't say anything, but rolled up the scroll.
Seeing the unsightly content on it, Gu Shen glanced at Master Jia speechlessly, and then casually pulled a cloth bag in this room, wrapped the thing, and tied it to himself.
Master Jia's old face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to bury himself in it.
As soon as he wanted to explain a thing or two, he heard Gu Shiwei drop a shocking thunderbolt, "Then why haven't you been killed?" ”
The Imperial City Division is not a good person, and it is their daily duty to assassinate and monitor the aftermath.
It wasn't until Zhang Chunhan rose that the Imperial City Division had the scene of arrogance and swaggering.
Why didn't the murderer kill Li Yunshu to avoid today's situation?
He also wears the clothes of the Imperial City Division and wears an easily impressive mask, which is not in line with the practice of a seasoned killer.
Wearing the robes of the Imperial City Division, she could barely understand.
After all, when the investigator found Li Yunshu's head, Ding Yang had been exposed, and Zhang Chunting knew that there were ghosts in the Imperial City Division.
But what about the "Sparrow" mask?
It was that person who was negligent and didn't notice that Li Yunshu saw his face from the bronze mirror.
Or is it that he found out, but deliberately left Li Yunshu as a living mouth, he originally wanted to let people see the "flying sparrow" mask through Li Yunshu's mouth.
Is it trying to frame up?
Or do you want to deliberately test someone? Or lead some people to investigate the "sparrows"?
Gu Shiwei didn't feel that this game was aimed at herself, she was just an insignificant little person, even if her swordsmanship was extraordinary, she still didn't go to the eyes of those big people at all.
Even, Zhang Chunting didn't let her have subordinates who belonged to her completely.
Then, it is very likely that it is not aimed at Zhang Chunting, or the iron-headed imperial history Han Shiyan beside her.
Gu Shiwei cleared his mind and looked at Li Yunshu with burning eyes.
Li Yunshu panicked instantly, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "My words are true, but it's not a small work or anything like that." I carved the seal, and just as I was about to be killed, I suddenly heard my lady knocking at the door. ”
"I was almost stupid at the time, thinking about how this stupid woman still hit someone's sword. But the man took away his sword, took his things, and went through the window. To this day, I still don't understand why he left us two dogs dead. ”
"But I know we're going to have something big going on. Today, Master called us over, and he didn't say that it was related to the Imperial City Division, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come. I've already booked the boat, and I'm ready to drag my family and my mouth south together......"
Li Yunshu said, glancing at Master Jia with tears in his eyes.
He has been frantically sorting out his family property for the past two days, packing and boarding the ship, thinking that he will not be able to see each other again for the rest of his life. When I heard the summons of the master early in the morning, I deliberately collected the master's favorite album with a lot of money, thinking that it would be filial piety.
He thought that if he had escaped, even if someone asked the master, the master would definitely hide it for him......
I never thought of it......
"What are the characteristics of the man other than his robe and mask? For example, how tall is it? There is no visible scar on the hand holding the sword, and since he has spoken to you, you should be able to tell if it is a male or female voice. ”
"And does he have any special smell on him? People like incense, and clothes usually smell good. ”
Han Shiyan, who had been standing on the side without saying a word, suddenly interjected and asked.
When Li Yunshu saw Han Shiyan, he was obviously not so nervous, he thought about it and shook his head again, "I didn't smell anything, and I don't remember any scars." As for the voice, it sounds like it's a man's voice. ”
"I don't dare look back, and I don't know how tall that man is......"
Before he could finish his tall words, he felt a long sword resting on his neck.
He had been sitting on a stool to draw the picture of the bird's mask, when suddenly a sword appeared behind him, and his hairs trembled in an instant, exactly as it had been that day and night.
It's the same long sword, and it's the same robe of the Imperial City Division......
"Don't move, or I won't care if I cut off your head", Gu Shiwei said, aiming at the scabbed cut left between his neck, and placing the width of the sword, "If the chair in your study is no different from this, that person should be taller than me." ”
"The taller the person, the more inclined the wound will be when he holds the sword to the neck, and the shorter one will be, the smoother it will be."
"Well, this person should be about the same as Han Shiyan."
Gu Shiwei said, it was a pity in his heart, almost all of the people in the Imperial City Division were men, because most of them had kung fu, and there were so many people of Han Shiyan's size that there were no clues.
She thought, touching the bag on her body.
Li Yun's calligraphy and painting of this bird mask pattern, she has seen before.
