Chapter 3 The Beauty Chop Chapter 17 Tea Bowl
In the Willow Leaf Villa, being idle is also idle, except for Dailou Sangyu who was very sullen and locked on the top of the attic, Mo Dao invited everyone to find the tea bowl as much as possible. Many rooms in Willow Leaf Villa were originally used for entertaining guests, viewing the scenery and other elegant things, but at this time they have become a small burden. After all, Luo Yinsheng, as the righteous son, can enter and exit freely in many places up and down the mountain villa, and Liu Siye dismissed the servants early, which increased the difficulty of searching.
First, they didn't know where Luo Yinsheng had been before he was killed, and second, it was indeed a difficult task to search the entire mountain villa with a few people.
As the appointed young owner, Liu Zhilei obviously felt that less was better than more, and delineated the scope of the search, that is, in addition to the villa itself and a few elegant houses around it, the farthest could only be searched to the end of the stream in two forests. In the past, it was not the boundary of Willow Leaf Villa. There is no boundary in the villa, but if you really try to find it in the mountain, you may not be able to find it by hundreds of people.
Liu Zhilei was in charge of the first floor, and Liu Qiufeng took the two little guys Mo Dao and Tu Mi to rummage through the mulberry forest again. After burying his head and looking for a small half, the sky was already dark, and Liu Jiaofeng suggested that it would be better to go back to eat first, and then come back
Mo Dao was obviously a little reluctant, and glanced at this lush mulberry forest with complicated eyes, and refused to move.
Tu Mi whispered on the side: "Autumn is getting dark quickly, what if you stay here and meet the person you met before Zhao Jushi? ”
Mo Dao was a little shaken, but still stubbornly said: "Of course I understand the truth, but his appearance has always been in my heart...... How can this be eaten? ”
Liu snorted and said: "Mo Dao, don't we give you a smile, you really think you are a character? But you are the housekeeper of my Liu family, everything should be done by yourself, do you still want us to beg you to fail? If you don't eat now, it will fall down when the time comes, Young Master Ben, I don't want to make the sheets by myself." ”
Mo Dao was stunned. Liu Fengfeng's words sounded harsh at first glance, but in every word, there was a unique concern inherent in the third young master's temperament, which was not fanfare or pretentious. This is also the character of Willow Leaf Villa.
Mo Dao lowered his head: "Yes, Mo Dao knows his mistake." ”
The three of them took advantage of the fact that the sky was still a little bright, and walked quickly back to the villa. In the dining hall on the first floor, most of the people were already seated, and even if the three of them didn't pause when they came back, it was too late at the moment.
Liu Jifeng moved a chair from the side and sat down, then patted the empty seat next to him, and said to Tu Mi and Mo Dao: "Come on, we are full together, so that we have the strength to investigate the case." ”
Mo Dao was flattered. As a housekeeper, how have you ever dined at the same table with the owner's family?
But in the face of Liu Qiufeng's move, Qin Jiu, who was in the top seat, did not show the slightest displeasure on his face. Mo Dao was grateful in his heart, and sat down beside Liu Qiufeng as quietly as possible.
On the left seat, Zhao Wu'an and Zhang Moxian sat next to each other, and they had almost eaten most of the food in the bowl at this moment. On the other end, He Zhigu and Liu Zhilei had just started eating, and they had obviously just returned.
Holding the rice bowl, Mo Dao's heart was turbulent.
At that time, Qin Jiu, the wife of the owner of the village beside Liu Qingxia, did not move her chopsticks for a long time, frowning as if she was waiting for something.
After a while, Qin Jiu's younger brother Qin Mu pushed the door in, but instead of sitting down at the table to eat, he shook his head at Qin Jiu and said, "No." ”
"Not in the room?" Qin Jiu frowned and said suspiciously, "He has just recovered from a serious illness, where can he run?" I have also taken special care of this child, don't run too far." ”
Three of the four children of the Liu family are here, and who Qin Jiu refers to is, of course, self-explanatory. It's just that Liu Chuanyun, who has always looked calm, how could he disobey his mother's words?
After everyone finished eating, the rice in front of Qin Jiu had barely decreased.
She stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and frowned: "Liu Chuanyun, the eldest son in the family, has disappeared since lunch, and has not appeared until this time. The villa has been in a big event recently, and as a parent, Qin Jiu is really worried about Chuanyun. If you don't mind, Qin Jiu also dares to ask you to go to my son Chuanyun separately. ”
Everyone looked at each other. Liu jumped out of his seat first and said, "Then I'll go up and inform my father first." ”
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the banquet became even more depressing. Tu Mi wanted to accept it, but seeing that Zhao Wu'an and Zhang Moxian didn't react, he couldn't help frowning and didn't dare to say anything for a while.
Mo Dao said unwillingly: "Then I'll go to the mulberry forest......"
"You don't want to die?" Zhao Wu'an interrupted him, "Although the woman in red was severely injured by me, it is more than enough to kill you." ”
Mo Dao got up and wanted to leave the seat, but accidentally fell out of the seat. He stood up in one fell swoop and plucked up the courage to say: "Willow Leaf Villa treats Mo Dao like a reborn parent, if it is to save the eldest young master, even if he gives his life here, what does it matter!"
Tu Mi snorted with disdain in his heart, thinking about this housekeeper, he is really a pedantic example of kindness.
She also stood up calmly and said lightly: "I'll protect you." ”
Although Kunlun is good at Taoism, Tu Mi is a personal disciple of Kunlun Taoism, and his attainments in swordsmanship are also quite high. Even if you can't retreat from the enemy, you can always protect yourself.
Mo Dao was stunned and said, "Thank you Immortal Gu ......"
"The mulberry forest is very large, so I will go with you. Mrs. Qin said and stood up, "My brother is also here, don't scatter too far, so that if you are in danger, you can also inform each other." ”
Qin Mu was a little apprehensive: "I didn't mean to look down on Kunlun Immortal Gu...... It's just that the opponent is strong, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to protect your wife alone. ”
A gloomy look appeared on Tu Mi's face.
Zhang Moxian gritted his teeth and stood up hurriedly: "I'm here to help too." ”
The gloom on Tu Mi's face turned into indignation.
Zhao Wu'an chuckled: "Then do it, Wu'an will be dispatched." ”
Liu Zhilei looked at Zhao Wu'an and nodded. said solemnly: "At such a juncture, the disappearance of my brother must not be a trivial matter. Stop the thunder and go north with Zhao Jushi to search in the bamboo forest. ”
Liu Qingxia stood up with Zhang Moxian and said softly: "The little girl will follow Mr. Zhang, and with the second brother and Zhao Jushi, I can also rest easy." ”
Liu Zhilei's sword eyebrows frowned slightly.
Only He Zhigu was left to touch his head and say to himself: "In this way, it seems that no one can go with me......"
Qin Jiu said gently: "It's okay if Mr. He doesn't go, it's Qin Jiu who is tired." ”
"No, no, no, Liu Siye and I generously borrowed the treasured sword book, Guizhuang is in trouble, I still have to help. He Zhigu waved his hand and said, "No, he is also a swordsman, and if he wants to fight with the woman in red with a knife, he will not give up his life." There is still a bamboo forest in the west of the villa, so He went there to explore. Walk to the stream, and I'll come back. ”
Liu Zhilei pondered for a moment and advised: "The stream is turbulent, Mr. He, please watch your step." ”
He Zhigu said: "Thank you Second Young Master Liu, He is attentive." ”
After a stick of incense, everyone gathered at the back gate of the manor, facing a vast dense forest, although everyone did not mention it, they were still somewhat afraid of the unknown woman in red.
Liu Siye, who was standing in front of the villa, said solemnly: "There is no way to govern the family, and I have caused such trouble, Liu Si has thanked you for your help in advance here, and entered the forest to find my eldest son." You only need to explore this forest, Liu Si personally went to the main gate of the villa to find out if Chuanyun was there. Today, everyone is kind, and Liu Si remembers it in his heart. If he asks me Liu Si to help him one day, he will definitely die!"
Zhang Moxian hurriedly said: "Fourth Master Liu is serious. ”
He Zhigu also nodded: "The hospitality of Willow Leaf Villa, He knows it." This help should also be a small return to the hospitality of Willow Leaf Villa, and there is no need to see it. ”
Liu Siye didn't say anything more, and thanked several guests outside Willow Leaf Villa one by one. Mo Dao took out several lanterns from the warehouse and handed them to everyone one by one.
Qin Jiuwen said: "Although the two forests of mulberry and bamboo are large, they will not reach the point of being boundless, and you must not lose your way." After half an hour, we will meet here. ”
After all, Liu Chuanyun has disappeared and there has been no news until now, so I am afraid that it is already a lot of bad luck. Although Qin Jiu and Liu Siye were silent, they must have prepared for the worst in their hearts.
If Liu Chuanyun is really unfortunate to be killed, I'm afraid that Liu Siye will not be able to let go of this woman in red who comes and goes like a ghost in the dense forest.
Thinking about it this way, Zhao Wu'an always felt that this woman of unknown origin might really be a human form cut by a beautiful woman. It's just that I don't know how to cut a beautiful woman, why bother the Liu family?
After the lanterns were distributed, the crowd scattered according to the path they had agreed upon.
As soon as Tu Mi took the lantern, he rushed forward, not even planning to rub in place for a while, obviously trying to distance himself from Zhang Moxian through this simple and crude method. Zhang Moxian walked behind with great self-awareness, carrying the lantern without saying a word. Mo Dao didn't have this understanding, and when he saw Tu Mi rushing out, he thought something big had happened, so he hurriedly ran behind.
Zhang Moxian sighed helplessly.
Just as he was about to catch up with the lantern, Tu Mi, who was trotting in front of him, suddenly stumbled, "oops", and almost fell to the ground. Zhang Moxian was taken aback, and just about to go to see the situation, Mo Dao had already arrived at Tu Mi's side before him.
"Are you alright?" said the butler with the lamp, his voice nervous.
Tu Mixiu frowned slightly, straightened up, shone the lantern on the ground, and muttered, "Something tripped ......"
She was stunned for a moment, and then moved the lantern closer, a look of surprise on her face. Mo Dao, who was beside her, squatted down and opened her mouth wide in surprise.
The mulberry leaves swayed in the autumn wind, and the lights in the palm of the hand flickered on and off.
Zhang Moxian stood behind the two of them with a lantern, feeling curious, and feeling that he shouldn't get too close to Tu Mi, so he became entangled in place for a while. I don't know if Zhao Wu'an and the woman in red had a fight here last night, a large number of mulberry leaves have fallen nearby, and the soil on the ground looks messy.
Zhang Moxian stood in place and shivered. The courage when he wanted to walk with Tu Mi before was also suppressed by this strange environment, and he didn't know where he went.
But the loyal and honest Mo Daoxian thought of Zhang Moxian himself, picked up the things on the ground, put them in the palm of his hand, showed them to Zhang Moxian from a distance, and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, we found it!"
Zhang Moxian looked at it closely, and he was also surprised.
Lying in the palm of Mo Dao's hand was a small tea bowl with a blue glaze and a black background.
