Chapter 25 The Search List

Wu San took the holy decree from Ah Yue's hand, hugged it tightly in his arms, handed it back to Ah Yue, and said in a trembling voice: "Ah Yue, you ...... Now it's ...... The only ...... of the Moonlight Clan High Priest, you ...... Be sure to lead your people...... Back to the Central Plains...... I must revive my Guo family. ”

Ah Yue received the holy decree, but bowed her head and said nothing.

Wu San hurriedly said: "Ah Yue...... You...... Have to...... Promise...... I ......"

Ah Yue couldn't help but pity when she saw more and more blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, but she clearly felt that he ruined his own life and his children's lives for this so-called volunteer, is it worth it?

Wu San was short of breath and stared eagerly at Ah Yue's face, waiting for her to agree.

Ah Yue couldn't bear to let him die uncomfortably, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take the Moonlight Clan back to Jiangnan." ”

Wu San struggled to show some smiles, exhaled a long breath, his upright body was completely paralyzed, his eyes turned with difficulty, he saw Shen Yi, and said, "List...... List...... At...... Counter ......" Before he finished speaking, his head hung and he took his last breath.

Shen Yi hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Wu, shopkeeper Wu, where is the list?"

It's a pity that Wu San couldn't hear anything. His glazed eyes stared blankly ahead, but he could no longer see his wish come true.

Shen Yi sighed helplessly, coughed lightly twice, and spat out a mouthful of blood. His mood was worse than the pain on his body, how much effort he had exhausted, how many lives had been implicated, but he still couldn't find the list, and everything seemed to be back to the beginning, what could he do now?

Ah Yue stretched out her hand and slowly closed Wu San's eyes, looked at Shen Yi's pale face, felt extremely guilty, and said, "Brother Shen, I'm sorry......"

Shen Yi shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "It's not your fault, you don't have to apologize, it's come to this, let's find a way." ”

He has always been resolute and unyielding, but now he feels a little tired and helpless.

Liu Qingyun understood his mood and interjected: "Didn't Wu San say before he died that the list was at some counter? ”

Shen Yi glanced at him, very grateful, but did not speak.

Hua Susu suddenly asked, "Sister Ah Yue, do you really want to lead the Moonlight Clan back to the Central Plains?"

Ah Yue looked at Wu San's pale and old face, then looked at the holy decree in his hand, and slowly turned his eyes to look at the vast desert yellow sand, and said, "I don't know, I really don't know." Where is our place of existence?"

The group silently returned to the inn, and Liuhuai timidly came over to greet Ah Yue, and said: "High priest, the villain is also a disciple of the Moonlight Clan, and he has been taken in by the master since he was a child, and now he is invited to accept by the high priest." ”

Ah Yue looked at his rough face, and didn't know what to say, so she just said, "You will return to the clan in the future." ”

Liuhuai didn't need to give more instructions, he went to clean up Wu San's body with the disciples of the Moonlight Clan, and only waited until the night was auspicious, and Ah Yue could hold a memorial and burial.

Liu Qingyun and Hua Susu surrounded the counter where Wu San usually sits, and they had searched three times inside and out, but they still didn't find anything.

What was placed on the counter was just a broken abacus, but unfortunately Wu San died, and no one would play with this abacus anymore, as well as a few account books and some pen and ink. And in the lattice under the counter, there are only some old accounts, and some worn bottles and cans.

Liu Qingyun and Hua Susu went through all the account books, and turned every bottle and jar upside down, but they still couldn't find the list.

Shen Yi sat at the table, stroking the old wound on his right chest with one hand, bowing his head to cover his mouth and coughing softly. He wanted to search by himself, but because of his serious injuries, he was persuaded by Liu Qingyun and Hua Susu to wait aside.

After Ou Jingtian returned to the inn, he settled Li Xiaoli, and also walked over and sat down at the table silently.

He tried to speak several times, but he couldn't speak.

He put down the cup in his hand, which was still full of tea, his eyes didn't look at Shen Yi, and finally said, "Shen ...... Brother Shen, I am really ashamed to believe in traitors, which caused you to fall short. ”

Shen Yi turned his head to look at him, without a trace of complaint on his face, and said sincerely: "No wonder Brother Ou is this, who would have expected that Gong Qianshan was so lurking, and everyone had been deceived by him." ”

"Yes, Brother Ou is also a victim, Gong Qianshan, a thief, is too cunning. Now that he has escaped and does not know where to go, sooner or later, the third master and I will definitely go deep into Xixia to find him, and I will never let him go. Liu Qingyun said.

Ou Jingtian glanced at Shen Yi, nodded, and did not speak. He has always been not good at words, but he made up his mind in his heart and completely changed his opinion on Shen Yi.

Hua Susu straightened up from under the counter, his face was covered with dust, he beat his waist with his hand, and complained: "This Wu San too, such a precious list must be hidden in an extremely secret place, how can people find it? I'm afraid that no one can think of where the list is hidden except himself." ”

Liu Qingyun shouted: "Otherwise, if the counter is demolished, or even the entire inn is demolished, I don't believe I can't find it." ”

He pricked his hands and feet, brought over a stack of account books, paused on the table, fanned the dust kicked up, and said to Shen Yi and Ou Jingtian: "If you are injured, do some light work, and check these account books page by page." ”

Ou Jingtian was anxious to do something to make up for his mistakes, so without saying a word, he immediately picked up an account book and looked at it carefully.

Shen Yi looked at the counter with his eyes, neither speaking nor moving.

Liu Qingyun stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "Hey, what do you want? Don't you see the list in your hand lost again, and you are angry, stupid, right?"

Shen Yi turned his head to look at him and said, "I'm thinking, this counter is in the brightest spot of the inn restaurant, where can Wu San hide the list, what is the most unexpected?"

"Oh, can you tell me where he can hide the list?" Liu Qingyun was intrigued, and folded his arms around his chest, waiting for him to continue.

Shen Yi flipped through the account book on the table casually and said: "The list is a page, and ordinary people will naturally think when they see the account book, and the list will be hidden in the account book, but I think that with Wu San's shrewdness, he will definitely not think about ordinary people." ”

Liu Qingyun rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm an ordinary person, so I think the list is likely to be hidden in the account book." Brother Ou, don't look at the account books first, let us see what this Lord Shen, who is not an ordinary person, can analyze, if he is just playing tricks, let's let him go through all the account books here page by page. ”

Shen Yi glanced at him, smiled, and continued: "In the same way, the list will not be hidden in those bottles and cans. ”

Liu Qingyun immediately turned his head and shouted to Hua Susu: "Little sister, put down those dirty bottles, and let us be smart and wise in a while, Lord Shen, who is like a god, will personally search every jar and bottle." ”

Shen Yi ignored him and said, "If the list is not hidden in the places where these ordinary people will definitely think of hiding things, then where will it be hidden?"

Liu Qingyun slapped his thigh and shouted: "Boy, you are really smarter than ordinary people, you talk nonsense for a long time, the big guy is so tossed, isn't this the problem you are thinking?"

He reached out and picked up an account book, slammed it in front of Shen Yi, and said, "You better stop using your brains, and honestly check the account book from the beginning." ”

Shen Yi had a contemplative look on his face, he didn't look at the account book on the table, but supported the table with his hands, slowly stood up, slowly walked to the counter, looked around, his eyes were shining, and said slowly: "Wu San must have hidden the list in a place that everyone will not notice and will not think of." ”

He leaned in front of the counter, reached out and touched a few things on the counter one by one, and said, "Sometimes, the most conspicuous and easy to see things is the least noticeable, and it is also the best place to hide things." ”

Everyone seemed to have understood what he meant, and they all stared at him, and even Liu Qingyun closed his mouth and didn't speak.

Shen Yi continued: "On the first day I came to this inn, the first time I saw Wu San, he was sitting behind this counter, figuring out the abacus and settling accounts. He didn't want to be discovered about the abnormality of the six fingers of his left hand, so he deliberately protected his left hand in the most important part of his chest, so that people didn't think about it, and took it for granted that his left hand was disabled and did not suspect it. And this abacus is casually placed on the counter all day long, and he has nothing to do with the abacus to settle accounts against the account books, and everyone will think that this is just an ordinary abacus. Just imagine, if ordinary people have precious things in their hands, they will definitely carefully hide them in places that no one can see, so how can they swagger and put things in front of everyone's eyes? However, Wu San's left hand has all the six fingers of the murderer, and could this abacus also hide some secrets? This small inn does not have many customers, but Wu San spends too much time settling accounts every day. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the abacus, looked up and down, stretched out his slender fingers and played with the abacus beads, while turning his face slightly and listening carefully to the sound of the abacus beads colliding with each other. He suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, pinched a bead, and with a slight force on his fingertips, the bead fell off the abacus, "The sound of this bead is different from others, there must be different materials in it." ”

He looked up at the crowd, walked back to the table with the abacus bead, and sat down slowly.
