Chapter 12

Qinggu's blunt refusal obviously had something to do with the heavens.

Xue He's face darkened, and he didn't know that he was so unpleasant.

Querong stepped forward and bowed again, with all the courtesy, "It's rude to break into your place, we are indeed looking for someone. Dare I ask Qing Gu, do you recognize Si, the servant of the Chen family?"

Hearing this name, Qing Gu trembled all over. She took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time.Jin Bu shook her head back and forth, her bright eyes looked at each other, "Do you recognize me, what do you want me for?"

"Ah Si and Young Master Chen died the night before yesterday, and his death was tragic." Querong explained.

"The night before yesterday..." Qing Gu held up the golden pipe and took a puff, gradually swallowing the clouds.

Xue He continued to ask, "What does Aunt Qing know? The two of us were accused of being framed by Ah Si in the yamen. I saw him look weird, so I came here to check it out. There is absolutely no malice."

Qing Gu stared at him, gave him a sideways glance, and stopped, "Let me tell you, can you promise me something?"

"What's the matter?" Xue He asked.

"About Ah Si, I can tell you everything you want to know. But—" Qing Gu hesitated, pointing at Que Rong slowly, and said to Xue He, "I helped this young man, and I want this young man to also Help me find someone."

Xue He looked at Qing Gu puzzled, when they came here, only Mr. Xiao Lang was the most common, so why him?

"You can find it for me." Xue He said.

Qinggu shook her head, raised her chin slightly and pointed towards Querong, "I only want him."

"Okay." Before Xue He could reply, Querong replied.

Qing Gu looked at him in astonishment, "Little Xianggong is really courageous, don't ask who he is?"

"Since Aunt Qing said it, she must be someone I can find." Querong stretched out her hand in a bow.

Qing Gu put down the golden pipe in her hand, smiled relievedly, "Si is my exile, what do you want to know?"

Xue He looked at Chen Jialin, but Chen Jialin shook his head, expressing that he didn't know anything.

The two of them winked, but they didn't make a sound for a while. Qinggu said to herself: "Actually, Ah Si is a good boy. He worked as a book boy for Young Master Chen in the Chen Mansion since he was a child. His parents were buried here, and every time he took a monthly leave , he will come back to take a look. But this time, he came back like crazy."

"Crazy?!" Chen Jialin asked in surprise.

Xue He felt strange, and asked for Chen Jialin, "Isn't he all right?"

"It's crazy, it's insane. What a poor little girl." Qing Gu paused, and laughed at herself, "But there is no one who lives in a place like Liushe who is not pitiful."

Xue He was about to ask, but Que Rong saw that Qing Gu's face was lowered, so she stopped him and spoke for him, "Do you know what happened?"

When these words came to Querong's mouth, it was as if honey had been sprinkled, her voice was so soft that even Qing Gu lost her face when she heard it.

Qinggu raised her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something, "It seems that Ah Si came to knock on my door yesterday morning, very excited, like something happy, saying that he can take me out of here, and everyone will not have to suffer in the future."

"Been bought?" Xue He turned his head and happened to meet Que Rong's eyes, "The young master of the Chen family is dead, and the old master Chen and the housekeeper are not coming forward, but it is inappropriate for a servant to sue the case. Common sense."

Chen Jialin defended from the side: "No! No way! Ah Si is like a brother to me, it must be to help me!"

"Maybe you have to meet Ah Si to know who is behind the scenes." Que Rong said to Xue He.

Qing Gu didn't listen to their conversation, she reached out to touch the gold utensils in her hand, the jade was still hanging between her slender fingers, every piece of her body was enough for those people like Liu She to live in peace lifetime.

Qinggu suddenly laughed again and said: "This silly boy, what gold and silver treasures do I want?" I gave them, but they didn't want it.

The two looked at each other for a long time, like companions who have known each other for many years, many words were spoken in silence.

Xue He nodded towards Querong.

Que Rong also glanced back, then turned to Qing Gu and said, "Can you take us to meet him?"

Taking a puff of cigarette, Qing Gu slowly breathed out, "Okay."

Inadvertently, a force from nowhere pushed open the window beside the door, the sun emerged, and the yellow sand was still flying outside.

Qing Gu said: "You guys should rest in my shop, it's almost dawn. When the sandstorm stops in the afternoon, I'll take you to find him."

Seeing Querong's tired face, Xue He was negligent, and nodded in agreement with Qinggu.

Qing Gu took everyone to the upstairs guest room, took a look at Chen Jialin, and only allocated three rooms.

The upstairs guest rooms are not as dilapidated as the downstairs ones. They are clean and clean. They are not luxurious, but they have everything you need.

Xue Yan lived on the far left of the left wing, followed by Querong, and then Xue He, who was closest to the stairs.

After Xue Yan made the bed for Xue He, he went back to his room to rest and took Chen Jialin away for him.

Lying on the bed with legs crossed, Xue He put his hands under his head and tapped his lips with the edge of the fan.He doesn't need to rest, and he doesn't feel tired, it's just that lying like this is really boring.

At this time, he can't disturb Xiao Langjun's rest.

The sudden relaxation made Xue He think more seriously about all the things that happened in the past two days.

First, he chased Yanlu to this point, and met Mr. Xiaolang in the forest.It rained heavily that night, and Mr. Xiao Lang braved the rain alone to pick flowers and went back.He saw that Mr. Xiaolang's fate was strange, and he was afraid that Yanlu was the murderer, so he followed the whole way, followed Yecheng, and followed him to his residence.It was raining at night, and he had nowhere to hide from the rain. Mr. Xiao Lang handed him an umbrella, and entered the house without saying anything.

After that, on the second day, there was a murder case in the city, and the two of them were taken away by the Yamen.

Then, the two blatantly "break out of prison", visit Yizhuang at night, and Hua Zhai was investigated.

Later, they came here, to this wandering house where the six realms are not cared about.I saw the turmoil in the underworld with my own eyes, and the underworld acted recklessly and without rules.

The missing Yanlu, the dead soul of the late Chen Jialin, the missing Nangong Qu, the eccentric medicine merchant Chen Yi, the dead man Yu Bo, the small mountain god who hides and dodges, the descended Fang Zhiyun, and this glamorous and extravagant boss. A dilapidated inn.

One pile after another is full of doubts.

However, the biggest doubt is still the little man.

The underworld detains souls, will he be next?

Thinking of this, Xue He felt uneasy.

"Knock knock", the door was knocked.

"Mr. Xue, can you rest?" The voice of the young gentleman at the door was soft and waxy.

Xue He jumped up from the bed, quickly combed his messy clothes in a hurry, and leaned against the edge of the bed with a calm demeanor, "Come in."

The house is dark, the corridors are dimly lit by candles, and the paper windows are rustling due to the wind.

Seeing Querong come into the room, Xue He was still somewhat tired, "Why don't you go and have a rest?"

Looking at this finely crafted face, the cheeks seemed to be thinner than the previous few days.

Querong shook her head and closed the door, as if she had no intention of leaving, "Too many things have happened in the past two days, and it's hard to sleep when I lie down. Remembering that Mr. Xue's clothes are still here, I simply come over and have a sit."

"How do you know that I didn't rest?" Frivolous brows swept up and down, Xue He bent his mouth and looked at the person in front of him.

"Really?" After taking two steps sideways, Querong put the clothes on the table and chairs, "Then don't disturb Mr. Xue's rest."

"Hey hey——" Seeing that he turned to leave, Xue He hurriedly got up from the bed, who knew that he lost his footing, stepped on his robe, and staggered.

Querong listened to the movement, and when she turned around, she saw him pretending, slapping her blue hair, and still had a look on her face, so she couldn't help but smile, deliberately pretending to be ignorant, "Well, Mr. Xue, what else is there?" thing?"

Xue He patted the robe behind him, coughed lightly to cover up, "Just sit down, I can't fall asleep anyway."

"Okay." Que Rong smiled.

After Querong took his seat, Xue He still stood there in a daze and did not recover.I thought, if I really fell to the ground, it would be worth it for this beauty to smile.

Querong called twice, and Xue He returned to his senses, but those amber eyes were still fixed on the man, unable to move away.

This inn is dilapidated and is a place of wind and sand, so there is no one to serve them with tea and water.The water in the teapot on the table was already empty, and no one went to fetch the water, so the two of them just sat with their eyes facing each other.

It was rare to be in the same room, and no one would bother them right now, so Xue He was naturally happy.A pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes swept back and forth on the man so straightly, without any shyness.

"What do you want to say, Mr. Xiao Lang?" Qingsi hung down his shoulders. Although Xue He was well-dressed, he looked dishonest.

"Just..." Querong squinted her eyes, and seemed to swallow the words that came to her mouth.

Xue He folded his arms around his chest, held a fan in his hands and raised his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Xiao Langjun wants to point at me and scold me like my Xingjun Lord, 'You useless thing! This trivial matter is not fair, you have lost all the facade of the Xingjun Mansion!', or, 'In the heavens, there are so many priests, but none of them are as embarrassed as you'?"

Que Rong was stunned, and raised his eyes, "I never thought of coming to see your jokes, and I have no right to say something wrong with you." He thought for a while, and then said, "Even if Mr. Xue is doing nothing, he is still an indomitable priest. Heart, no worse than others."

After the words fell for a long time, Xue He sat there stiffly and motionless. It was originally a joke to make him happy, but unexpectedly it became serious.

But these words somehow made Xue He remember them in his heart.

In the eyes of others, he has always been the little son of the Xingjun Mansion who is not successful, does not live up to expectations, spends his time and does nothing, and relies on the blessings of his ancestors to gain so much cultivation for nothing. Crane, it was the first time someone praised him, and he was praised sincerely.

He smiled, turned his head to look at Querong, "Do you have something you want from me? Why don't you just say it, even if you want to live forever, I can try it for you."

"Mr. Xue is really pitiful, he can't listen to other people's sincere words." As a taunt, Querong shook his head and got up to leave.

Xue He was in a hurry, and quickly stopped him, "Don't leave, don't leave, speak well if you have something to say. Since you have treated me with sincerity, I will repay you with sincerity. In the future, if you ask for something, as long as it doesn't hurt the world, I, Xue He, will do everything I can. I can do it for you. Now, I just ask Xiaolang Jun not to be angry."

"I don't ask you for anything in return." Sparrow Rong said.

"Since I made a promise to you, how can there be any reason to take it back?" Xue He handed the inseparable golden fan to Querong, and stretched out his hand to grab the weak and boneless wrist. The touch was cold and cold , "Nowadays the world is full of demons and monsters, why don't I give you this fan. Although it is not as sharp as those magical weapons, it can also protect you for a while."

Querong shied away, and withdrew her hand, "Everyone is mortal, since I'm destined to not live long, then it's God's will."

"You little gentleman is really interesting. Others are afraid of death, so it seems that you are eager to die." Xue He said suddenly, and then said, "You are also very courageous, and you don't look surprised when you see ghosts and gods. If you don't With your mortal body, I also believe that you are the fairy family that you have never met in the mountains."

Querong knew that he was suspicious, and said frankly: "The immortal family dare not look at it, it's just a mortal body. Mr. Xue still can't figure out why I know so much? In fact, I was the person who deserved to die ten years ago. .”
