......

"Little master. ”

Su Changqing knocked on the door, watched the door open, and asked.

"Su ...... Donor......

The facilities in the house are very simple.

There was only a table, a few chairs, and two beds.

At this time, two women were sitting on the wooden table, holding teacups and looking in his direction.

And the little monk Yuanguang, who Su Changqing had been reading in his mouth, was holding the doorknob at this time and was looking at him with a surprised face.

"Little Master......

Su Changqing pursed his lips, followed him in, and with a push of his right hand, he gently closed the door.

The young monk led him to the wooden table and brought out a chair for him to sit down.

"Lord Su Shi...... You're here ......."

"Old man, I'm ...... Just heard a message in a teahouse. ”

He straightened his sleeves and continued.

"Weren't you looking into that murder before?"

Hearing this, Yuan Guang nodded, indicating that what he said was true.

"Today I heard by chance...... The ninth victim appeared in the water city ......"

"What?!"

The other two girls at the table were all stunned when they heard this, and one of them had a hot personality and immediately took the case.

The teacup on the table was shaken to the ground, and another teacup fell on the wooden table, and rolled down the slightly inclined tabletop, but in the end, it was picked up by a hand.

The woman in yellow put the teacup back on the wooden table, her eyes flashed, and she asked.

"Old man, where did you hear that?"

"Teahouse. ”

"Teahouse ......"

Huang Qiuya muttered a sentence, looking at Su Changqing's gaze with a slight complexity.

"I see, thank you, Lord Sushi. ”

Seeing Huang Shizhu who was still muttering on the side, Yuan Guang folded his hands and nodded at him gratefully.

"That'...... If it's all right, I'll go first. ”

Su Changqing turned his head to look at their expressions, smiled lightly, and raised his feet to leave here.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came clearly from behind him.

He turned his head to look, only to realize that it was the little girl in yellow who had always been wary of him.

At this moment, she pursed her lips slightly, picked up the teacup, and gestured slightly to him.

"No need ......"

When he saw this action, he already knew what the other party was going to do. His heart froze, but the foot he wanted to move just now stopped.

"It's never too late to go with a cup of tea. Huang Qiuya half-narrowed her eyes, raised her hand, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured herself a cup of steaming tea.

"This tea ...... But I stole it from my sister. ”

She picked up the teacup and blew it, and saw that the water surface was wrinkled by the breeze, and the brown water waves faded from it, and it looked quite beautiful.

It's just that her voice is too small, so the young monk and Su Changqing didn't hear it, but the woman in blue sitting next to her heard it.

“...... Good. ”

Su Changqing smiled, sat down according to his words, and looked at the little girl opposite who poured him a cup of tea.

......

*

Twilight gradually descended from the sky, and the broken moon shone on the mountains, obscuring the colors of the mountains and forests.

In a large mansion.

With the sound of the wooden door opening, a white-haired old man slowly walked out of the door.

At this moment, in the pool of the courtyard, the rain of the previous days was constantly flowing outside, dripping among the grass, and was shining brightly by the moonlight.

One foot stepped on the ground, causing water droplets to slide down the tip of the grass.

Su Changqing walked across the courtyard and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

"Lord Sushi. ”

A young monk held a white porcelain bowl in his hand, lowered his head, and greeted him gently.

"It's the little master of Yuanguang, ......"

He smiled slightly, and looked around the kitchen for a moment, but found no one else, and couldn't help but start to wonder a little.

"Where's the little master?"

"Senior Brother ......"

Yuan Guang lowered his head and didn't look at him, just silently took a bowl, and then handed it to him, and then spoke.

"Senior brother, he ...... It's been a good meal. ”

"Oh...... That's right. ”

Su Changqing didn't care much either, although the three of them ate together on weekdays, but now that they are acquainted, it doesn't matter if they have dinner early.

"Lord Sushi. ”

The young monk handed him the bowl of rice, and then gave himself another bowl of rice.

Then he sat down in his chair and looked at the white-haired old man across from him with a wrinkled face.

"What's wrong?"

He asked with a smile, picked up the rice bowl, and sandwiched a piece of green vegetables into the dishes in front of him.

"Tonight, the little monk and the others are going to the area of Kucang Mountain...... I hope that Su Shizhu can ...... again ...... again"

As he spoke, Yuan Guang was a little embarrassed, looking at the other party's kind and kind appearance, he just couldn't speak.

It's really a strange feeling.

The little monk thought with hazy eyes.

As soon as he saw his appearance, Su Changqing already knew what he was going to do tonight, he happened to tell them about another victim at noon, and now he went to investigate, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Su Changqing chewed slowly and ate the green vegetables, and smiled lightly at him.

"By the way, little master, did you find anything yesterday?"

For this matter, he is still a little curious, after all, I heard that this thing, maybe not done by people, but by some monster, although he has also encountered something strange, but this kind of thing is relatively distant to him, and it does not hurt to understand it.

"Hmmm......"

The young monk hesitated, but still said.

"Last time, the monk and the others didn't encounter anything...... I just always feel ......"

He thought about it with the white porcelain bowl, but after a while he shook his head, and finally did not speak.

Su Changqing nodded absently, indicating that he already knew.

"In short......" The little monk looked at him, his face was serious, "Master Su must be very careful." ”

He recalled the incident ten days ago, and thought of the man-eating monster active between the mountains of Kucang, and he was uneasy in his heart, always afraid that as soon as he left, those black shadows would appear.

Thinking so, he suddenly stood up from his chair.

Hearing the sound of the chair retreating, Su Changqing raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "What's the matter?" ”

"Please...... Wait a minute. ”

With that, Yuan Guang put down the dishes and chopsticks, and quickly left his seat and walked towards the outside of the kitchen.

It only took a few minutes for him to be back quickly.
