Ouyang Yi did not go to any farmer's house as expected, but came to Qinghe Town at the foot of the mountain, and started strolling in the small streets of the town. Mu Qijun and Leng Mo hid behind the passers-by a few feet away from him and watched him look at the small stalls on both sides of the street, occasionally stopping to pick up the goods for sale, and Monk Zhang Er was a little puzzled.
Elder Ouyang, who is famous for being strict and serious, actually knows how to go shopping? ?
Mu Qijun couldn't help muttering: "We didn't follow the wrong person, did we... Is that really Elder Ouyang himself? Shouldn't he be the one who wants something and goes straight to the goal, buys it and leaves??"
In this way, following Ouyang Yi around the market for most of the morning, Ouyang Yi began to step into small shops. Mu Qijun and Leng Mo hid in the alley, seeing that he usually came out within two minutes after entering, and there was no movement for a long time until he entered a grocery store, Leng Mo wondered, "Why did it take so long?"
"I'll go in and have a look. Elder Ouyang doesn't recognize me." Mu Qijun took off the bamboo basket on his back, took out a folding fan and shook it open, and pushed open the door of the shop like a dandy.
Leng Mo continued to wait for half an hour, and Ouyang Yi finally strode out from the shop, but Mu Qijun was nowhere to be seen. Leng Mo was about to go to the shop, when he saw Mu Qijun appearing, he looked around to make sure that Ouyang Yi was far away, and then came quickly.
"What happened inside?" Leng Mo asked.
Mu Qijun was full of doubts: "Elder Ouyang, he bought a lot of snacks and a bunch of sundries, which are now stored in the grocery store, and he said he will pick them up later!"
"Snacks?"
What did Ouyang Yi buy these for
The two couldn't figure it out, so they had to keep tracking. Ouyang Yi went into the teahouse to drink tea and listen to music, as if to pass the time, the two went to sit down in the open-air tea shed on the corner of the street.
The old man from the teahouse came over and poured two cups of hot tea, Leng Mo only paid attention to Ouyang Yi who was sitting at the window of the teahouse. Mu Qijun paid the owner of the tea shed a few pennies, opened the bamboo basket and took out two boxes of snacks, took a piece of mung bean emperor and handed it to Leng Mo: "Don't be too nervous, eat a piece of pastry! It's okay if Elder Ouyang finds out. Acting like we happened to be drinking tea too."
Hearing this, Leng Mo looked back at his smiling face, took the mung bean emperor and took a bite. The mung bean emperor tastes soft and melts in the mouth, sweet but not greasy. He was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, and he tasted it as a boutique.
"What exactly do you do?" Leng Mo asked suddenly.
Mu Qijun folded the fan guiltily, "Me? Didn't I tell you..."
Leng Mo's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Mu Qijun suddenly couldn't continue. He and Zhou Ziruo didn't even need to expose such a lie. At first, Leng Mo didn't know him well and believed it for two days, but we have been acting together for so many days. Two brothers
"I... I am from Ruoruo's hometown. There are only two of us left in our hometown..." This is not a lie. In this world, they are indeed the only two who came from the 21st century. Mu Qijun explained himself in his heart.
Unexpectedly, when Leng Mo heard the words, his expression was a little moved, "You also lived in exile with the younger brother? Your hometown... What disaster happened, and everyone is gone?"
"Ah?" Mu Qijun was taken aback, recalling that he had said so much information just now
Leng Mo whispered: "It turns out that you and I share the same disease..."
"Uh... this... doesn't seem to be..."
"You are more pitiful than me. At least my family was sensible when the great changes happened, and you were just two ignorant children at that time..." Leng Mo's eyes fell on the half mung bean emperor in his hand, and sighed softly, "This kind of craftsmanship It is definitely not a few years of hard work, it seems that you also suffered a lot when you were young... "
Mu Qijun closed his folding fan, "Ah, it's not really..."
Leng Mo raised his head and looked at him seriously, "If you encounter any trouble in the door from now on, just come to me."
Mu Qijun opened his mouth to explain, but Leng Mo lifted the topic and returned to a serious expression: "Do you think Master Ouyang would have discovered us long ago? So he deliberately did some puzzling actions?"
At this moment, Ouyang Yi, who was sitting by the window, called the waiter from the teahouse to settle the bill. The two immediately left the tea shed and hid in the alley, while Ouyang Yi went to the previous grocery store. When he came out of the grocery store, he had two extra bags of things in his hands, which were the snacks and sundries that Mu Qijun mentioned.
The two of them followed Ouyang Yi out of Qinghe Town and came to a small village outside the town. Ouyang Yi seemed to be very familiar with the small village, so he greeted the people in the village and went straight to a farmhouse. The peasant woman welcomed him in.
The two who were hiding in the bushes not far from the farmhouse were stunned.
Mu Qijun said: "Didn't you say that she is an old woman? So young can't be Suwan!"
"Maybe it's someone from Suwan. We have to find a way to confirm whether Suwan is here." Leng Mo seemed to want to get closer to the farmer to observe.
"Don't be impulsive..."
Just as Mu Qijun was about to call him to stop, there was a "click" sound of a dead branch being trampled off behind him. Then a stern whisper fell over the heads of the two—
"To confirm something, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask the old man directly?"
After Zhou Ziruo came out from the back mountain, he went back to Lu Lixiao's small courtyard to take a shower and change his clothes, and then went to the dining hall to eat a large plate of watermelon slices and a large bowl of steamed bun soup. It was even more refreshing to see Qi Yunpeng and his followers who were working in the canteen gritted their teeth with hatred for him but could do nothing.
Humming to Little Apple, he walked leisurely on the tree-lined path, thinking in his mind whether to visit Wei Heng or Liu Nanqin first, whatever he wanted, Wei Heng was walking from the side road.
"Second senior brother, hello!" Zhou Ziruo greeted immediately at attention.
Wei Heng said "um", and walked past him with steady steps, Zhou Ziruo was impatient to talk to him, but Wei Heng suddenly stopped and asked him: "Little brother, where are you going?"
Zhou Ziruo said: "Me? I'm not going anywhere, I'm full and I'm digesting!"
"Then come with me for a while." Wei Heng nodded and continued on his way.
Zhou Ziruo couldn't help wondering what Wei Heng was going to do, he followed up and said, "Second Senior Brother..."
"Where is Fourth Junior Brother?" Wei Heng interrupted him and asked directly.
Zhou Ziruo was stunned.
Wei Heng turned to look over, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Did you stay with him during this time? Where is he hiding?"
If Wei Heng asked Zhou Ziruo this before going down the mountain, he might have told him, but now Wei Heng is one of the key suspects.
"No! I just sneaked down the mountain to play these few days!" Zhou Ziruo used the same excuse to Du Hanfeng, "I'm not used to the life on the mountain and I wanted to go down the mountain for a long time, but the fourth senior brother has never allowed me to go. After he was locked up, I couldn't help but ran down... Uncle Du has already punished me, second senior brother, don't be angry! I only heard that fourth senior brother ran away when I returned to the gate yesterday, I really don't know Where is he!"
Wei Heng looked at him solemnly for a while, and said nothing more.
Zhou Ziruo didn't know whether he believed it or not, but most likely he didn't. Wei Heng probably didn't plan to talk to him anymore, Zhou Ziruo was a little anxious, he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
[Ding! Hello user, in fact, you can use the function of searching for evidence in the current situation, and the system will help you obtain useful information!]
Yes! He didn't even think of this! But the problem is—
"It's too expensive to use 1000 points once!"
[Users can choose not to use it.]
nonsense! Can you not use it! What information could he pry out of Wei Heng without cheating?
"Use it! 1000 points for you, tell me how to find the clue!"
[Ding! The function of searching for evidence is turned on! Consumption of 1000 points, the remaining points of the user is 6000.]
After the system sound disappeared, a sentence appeared in Zhou Ziruo's mind: Second Senior Brother, where are you going
Can you get clues so easily? ? Isn't the 1000 points spent too unjustly? ?
Zhou Ziruo dubiously asked Wei Heng this question, and Wei Heng replied: "Elder Miaoyin's house leaked, and I was often taken care of by her when I was young, and I am going to help her repair it myself."
Zhou Ziruo keenly probed: "Elder Miaoyin? The younger brother's time to start is still short, who is this Elder Miaoyin?"
"Elder Miaoyin is a disciple of the same generation as the master and the head of the sect. Her sister Meng Ruoying was the last of the eight disciples in the sect at that time." Speaking of this, Wei Heng's eyes darkened, "If it wasn't for thirty years Some things happened before, and Master Meng should now inherit the position of the elder of Miaofa in the sect."
three! ten! year! forward!
Wei Heng knows what happened thirty years ago!
Zhou Ziruo looked at Wei Heng with suspicious eyes, he decided not to act rashly to startle the snake, he went back to discuss with Lu Lixiao first, and was about to find a way to escape without trace, when Liu Nanqin's figure appeared in front of him.
Liu Nanqin greeted with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, Junior Junior Brother? Just happened to meet you, I need personal help!"
Zhou Ziruo recommended himself, "Let me come! The second senior brother has something to do!"
Wei Heng spoke briefly to Liu Nanqin, looked at Zhou Ziruo and left.
Zhou Ziruo turned his head and asked Liu Nanqin: "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Come with me, we'll talk on the way." Liu Nanqin pulled Zhou Ziruo and left, seemingly in a hurry, after taking two steps, he casually asked, "By the way, Fourth Junior Brother is with you, right? How is he now?"
Zhou Ziruo almost tripped.
Is it so obvious? ? ? Why does everyone know about it? ?
He still used lies to fool the past, Liu Nanqin didn't ask about Lu Lixiao anymore. Zhou Ziruo followed Liu Nanqin, looked at him from the corner of his eye, thought about a few thoughts, and said to the system: "A young expert in evidence collection?" Yes, let's take a look! If it is more expensive, it will be more expensive, and there will be a lot of reward points when the story is cleared.
[Ding! The function of searching for evidence is turned on! Consume 1000 points, remaining 5000 points.]
When the system tone fell, Zhou Ziruo heard a clear "boom"! He thought there was a clue, but when he looked down, it turned out that the little jade fox fell from his body and landed at his feet.
Liu Nanqin also saw it and stopped walking.
"Mine, mine." Zhou Ziruo waved his hands, knelt down and picked up the little jade fox, thinking that it was because of this thing that Lu Lixiao gave him a stamp that he was his own!
While sighing endlessly, Zhou Ziruo discovered something was wrong. Although they are exactly the same, his little jade fox is a piece of worthless jade, and the warm jade in his hand is obviously a top-quality jade! He involuntarily touched his waist, and it was obvious that he touched something hard.
This is not his jade carving!
The moment this conclusion came out, Zhou Ziruo broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
"Junior brother, this is mine. Can you give it back to me?" Liu Nanqin's soft and pleasant voice was like a ghostly voice to Zhou Ziruo's ears.
"Yuan, so it belongs to the third senior brother... Haha, I read it wrong, I thought it was the jade carving puppy I bought at the market! Here it is..." Zhou Ziruo tried his best to control his facial expressions and body, not to reveal out of fear.
Liu Nanqin took the jade carving and put it away carefully, Zhou Ziruo said: "Senior brother, I, I haven't had lunch yet, I'm very hungry... Can you find someone else to help you?"
"Really? It's not good to be hungry, little brother, you should go to the cafeteria." Liu Nanqin said.
"I'm leaving!"
Zhou Ziruo turned around hastily, and just as he stepped up, Liu Nanqin's hand clasped his shoulder from behind.
Zhou Ziruo's body shook involuntarily. Liu Nanqin had always been a gentle and slender man in his eyes, he never knew that he was so strong, the hand on his shoulder almost crushed his bones!
"Third, third senior brother... what else do you want?"
Liu Nanqin didn't answer, he stretched out his other hand slowly to touch Zhou Ziruo's waist, he hesitated for a moment, touched the little jade carved fox through the fabric, and took it out.
"Sure enough... you have been to the house in Daohe Village."
Zhou Ziruo even started chattering his teeth.
Liu Nanqin said slowly: "Back then, grandpa and grandma met the little fox carved from jade by grandpa himself. Grandpa's craftsmanship is superb. After the two escaped from home, grandma handed over her family heirloom jade to grandpa for him to carve. The jade-carved spirit fox is exactly the same, and it is the one I have held in my hand for these years."
Zhou Ziruo doesn't want to know the origin of these two jade foxes now! The more he knows, the less good fruit he has to eat! !
"Grandma thought she had lost grandpa's jade fox. I heard from my mother that she blamed herself for it until she died... I didn't expect that you would help her find it. Grandma is in the spirit of heaven, and she can finally rest in peace."
"... I should thank you."
This was the last sentence Zhou Ziruo heard before he was knocked out, and his last thought before he passed out was: the cheating system, the way the clues came out was too simple and rude, did he not consider the issue of Xiaoye's personal safety? ?
Go to his little expert forensics! This time, I really shot myself in the foot with a rock, I'm dead! ! !
