Go Home

Chapter 69: Night detective, tell me, does Mingyu have a sweetheart?

Tao Yuer is still waiting for his answer.

"When I was in Wangcheng, my eldest brother also asked Ye Guzhu to see for me," Lu Zhui said. "They are all old and old illnesses, and they can't die. He only prescribed some medicine and said that he should take good care of him. It's a big deal."

"That was before." Tao Yuer held his hand and sighed, "The pulse phase is getting more and more chaotic, the times are good and the other is bad, you are a martial artist, and you should know that if you drag on like this, it will be more bad and bad."

Lu Zhui smiled: "It's not too late for me to go to Riyue Villa again when things happen in the city of Mishuang."

"Is something in the city of Hushuang?" Tao Yuer shook her head. "The purpose of everyone under the mountain is different. If you want to solve them one by one, when will you wait?"

Lu Zhui insisted: "At least it is necessary to find out who was behind the situation and almost wiped out the whole family of the Xiao family. Qiu Peng rarely shows up. How can there be a reason to let him go."

Seeing that he insisted on staying, Tao Yuer felt helpless, patted his hand and did not speak.

The cold wind started again, and Lu chased back to rest in the room. Tao Yu'er picked up the bamboo basket on the table and wanted to continue sewing clothes, but his heart became a mess, the stitches were sparse, and he got his hand in a few clicks.

A round blood bead oozes out, and the tingling makes Tao Yu'er come back to his senses. She put it in her mouth and sucked, her brows never unfolded.

She was stupefied to remember that when she was young, she was selected by her master to go to the Xiao family in Frost City. During that time, many seniors and sisters were dissatisfied and said that they could not do a great job. At first, I was uncomfortable, and even felt quite humiliated, but after so many years, I seemed to really...nothing.

She suddenly became a little confused.

A Liu and Yue Dadao came back from the outside, one carrying the firewood, the other holding the back basket, and inside was the fish caught by knocking on the ice. The hands and noses of the two were flushed with cold, and they were making trouble.

"Madam." Yue Dadao happily said, "We make grilled fish to eat at night."

Tao Yuer smiled and said, "The cuffs are all wet. It's a cold day. A girl doesn't know how to take care of herself. Go and wipe it dry."

Yue Dadao responded and went back to the house to change clothes. A Liu glanced at Lu Chase's closed door, and asked in a low voice, "Asleep again?"

"We are weak, so I should rest more." Tao Yuer said, "Seeing that you care about Mingyu closely, maybe think of a way to send him to Jiangnan Riyue Villa?"

"Now?" Ah Liu frowned.

Tao Yuer nodded: "If the injury recurs, the sooner you can treat it, the better."

A Liu has no bottom in his heart. He is a rough man. He only knows that Lu Chai has been in poor health recently, but he doesn't know that he has reached the point of seeking a genius doctor.

Tao Yuer dissatisfied: "I'm talking, what are you in a daze?"

Ah Liu regained his consciousness and nodded: "I will try to persuade you first at night." It is not too far from the Sun Moon Villa in Chiba City, and it will be possible to get there in about twenty days.

Down the mountain, the people from Mingyue Tomb also heard about the heart-digging evil spirits.

Although the government looked at the great momentum, but did not find any clues, the people were personally panicked, and the city was empty as soon as the sun fell, and there was no one in the city. It was a bit more depressed than when the people in the martial arts gathered in the city. .

"Stopping people's hearts." Aunt Gui said, "Has the leader Qiu ever heard of it?"

Qiu Peng shook his head.

"What is the purpose of these frequent shots?" Aunt Gui held her forehead as if she was muttering to herself.

Qiu Peng said, "Except for the red lotus cup, there is no other benefit worth seeing in this city."

Aunt Gui raised her eyebrows: "Fang Master Qi also wants red lotus cups?"

"This is the end of the matter, why should Aunt Gui ask knowingly." Qiu Peng said, "Who doesn't want the red lotus cup in these rivers and lakes?"

A cold wind rushed into the cave, blowing a half candle on the stone table, and the flames rose and fell, reflecting the silent people around, and the shadow falling on the mottled stone wall, deformed and ferocious like a demon.

Qiu Peng leaned his arm on the table, and almost his entire upper body was sticking to Aunt Gui, his expression was greedy and enthusiastic: "Auntie has been in the tomb for so many years, and has not been able to understand the mystery of the formation, it is better to cooperate with me. , Make great things together."

Aunt Gui's tone rose: "Cooperation?"

"After the treasure in the Mingyue Tomb is opened, I only need 30%." Qiu Peng said, "Leave the remaining 70% to my aunt. The Eagle Claw Gang will never **** it, how about?"

The burning wind blew out the candles, leaving only a bleak blackness.

After a while, Aunt Gui said: "Okay."

Qiu Peng laughed: "Then it's a deal."

The waning moon in the sky was accompanied by Dusky Star, and the lanterns hanging at the entrance of the inn were swept across the city by the wind, and "cracking" burned to the point that only a charred bamboo stand was left. There was no one on the street, and even the watchman stopped going out.

Together with Lu Wuming, Xiao Lan quietly landed in a house.

There are deserted empty houses in this area, with spider webs all over, and a thick layer of ash on the ground. The two have searched seven or eight such small courtyards, and no signs of activity have been found.

The clouds in the sky dispersed a little, most of the moon hung in the sky, and the surroundings were finally a little brighter.

There was something on the ground faintly shining, Xiao Lan put on gold gloves and picked it up. It was a half piece of iron, which was shaped into a curved shape, like a woman's long nails, with some dark traces at the bottom.

"Blood?" Xiao Lan asked.

Lu Wuming nodded.

"That's it." Xiao Lan said, "make the weapon into sharp knuckles, pretending to be a ghost."

In comparison, this courtyard is cleaner, but the doors of the houses are locked and rusted by wind and rain. Powder will fall when touched. The windows are also shaky, unlike anyone who has ever entered.

A few inaudible voices came from a distance, and the two in the courtyard rose into the air almost at the same time, and landed in a hidden place like a hawk, without a sound.

The starlight was bleak, and the whole courtyard was gloomy and desolate. The weird sound was getting closer, Xiao Lan secretly squeezed the black gold whip handle on his waist, and stared at the wall and the door. Lu Wuming held his breath beside him, wondering what kind of monster he would see next moment.

With a "swipe", the huge cloak unfolded in the courtyard, and then it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

It was a speed comparable to beasts, even humans could not reach, weird, lightning-like.

Xiao Lan and Lu Wuming glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise from each other's faces.

The place where the black shadow disappeared is the dry well in the courtyard, but this is not the point. The point is "he", or simply say "it" when it entered the well. Although it is covered by wide clothing, it still maintains the posture of a beast. The limbs landed at the same time, and then rose again in the air. The facial features were hideous, the teeth burst out of the lips, and it was even a little horrible. The crisp "click" was the sound only when the sharp claws clasped the edge of the well.

The two guarded for a while, and only then quietly evacuated when there was no more movement in the well.

Xiao Lan said, "The gold-eating beast I saw back then is almost like this."

Lu Wuming shook his head: "I still don't believe that there can be monsters in this world. They feed on gold and silver."

Xiao Lan poured a cup of tea for him.

Lu Wuming said: "If you really saw this thing in the tomb back then, it is more likely that the other party wanted to steal the property, but was accidentally hit by you, so you had to be unwilling to throw the fat in your mouth, so as not to cause it. Aunt Gui and others are suspicious."

Xiao Lan nodded: "It's also possible."

Lu Wuming asked, "I only saw that one time?"

"Only that time." Xiao Lan said, "After that, my aunt ordered a few secret passages to be sealed, and I never went to the treasure house again."

"Before you said there was an inner ghost in Mingyue's tomb," Lu Wuming asked, "who is it?"

Xiao Lan said, "Black spider."

Lu Wuming said, "Reason?"

"He always wanted to be in charge and hated me deeply." Xiao Lan said, "Although my aunt treats him very seriously, she also said that if the black spider threatens me in the future, she will kill without mercy. The news spreads. In his ears, how can he still do things with one heart."

Lu Wuming said, "Just because of this?"

"Black Spider is a sinister and greedy person, and he has always had disputes with his aunt." Xiao Lan said, "Through the opportunity of going out these years, I have secretly contacted and attracted many people. I also reminded my aunt, but she never expressed her position clearly. Said to let me do my own thing with peace of mind, let alone other things."

Lu Wuming said, "I'm thinking that there are heavily guarded institutions in the Mingyue Tomb, and that the gold-eating beast can come and go freely, and 80% of them have insiders to respond."

Xiao Lan said, "The keys to those treasure vaults are indeed in the hands of Black Spider."

"The people from the Mingyue Tomb are in a depression outside the city." Lu Wuming said, "Wait a few more days to see if there will be movement at both ends. If the black spider is really connected with this gold-eating beast, we can do it. One move."

Xiao Lan nodded: "Yes."

The two ran around all night, when the sky was also bright. Xiao Er sent it early, and there were two red eggs in it. It was said that the boss took his grandson and gave it to the guests.

Xiao Lan smiled: "Thank you very much."

After Lu Wuming washed his hands and peeled an egg, Xin said that he had a grandson.

Xiao Lan lowered his head to eat noodles.

Lu Wuming looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "You have a good relationship with Mingyu?"

Xiao Lan said: "Yes."

Lu Wuming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then he has a sweetheart?"

Xiao Lan almost choked on the noodle soup.

Lu Wuming stared at him suspiciously, "Why are you making such a big reaction."

Xiao Lan wiped her mouth and said, "Senior never asked Mingyu?"

"I didn't ask, you may not be able to hear the truth if you ask." Lu Wuming said, "Let's talk about it, did you have it, not now, did you have it before? Whose lady did you have before, and how is your temper? How do you look like, you are still Xiaojiabiyu, you like embroidery or martial arts, you can say them one by one."

Xiao Lan's scalp was numb.

The room was silent.

Lu Wuming stared at him once, frowning: "No one?"

Xiao Lan said, "...Yes."

"Why?" Lu Wuming was puzzled, not to mention that Wangcheng matchmaker wanted to live in Shanhaiju.

Xiao Lan perfunctorily: "Maybe I want to end the Mingyue Tomb first, and then discuss other things."

Lu Wuming sighed and drank the teapot as a drink to relieve his worry.

Xiao Lan faintly felt that in the future, he might really have to go up the mountain and the sea to pick the snow lotus for the pearl, just as it was written in the short story, before he could change his father-in-law and nod his head and marry a daughter-in-law.

The author has something to say: Father-in-law: Mingyu fell into the river with me, who will you save first?
