The fast travel is too late

Chapter 186 Drinking and Saying Good Times (14)

It seems that there is still something important that has not been done!
Xin Wu was lying in the carriage, not sleeping very soundly.

Suqian, who was guarding outside the carriage, took the cloth towel that Qingniang found for him, and wiped the knife that could not be wiped clean, thinking about where the letter left by his father might be placed, anyway, it would not be in any conspicuous place That's it.

The sun was setting and the figures were clear. Following the pace of the tired birds returning to their nests, the carriage parked in front of the door was finally sent into the house.

Cleaning has always required meticulousness and meticulousness, and it cannot be done overnight.After spending most of the afternoon, Qingniang and the others managed to clean out a place to rest in the main house.

The dinner was packed from restaurants in the city, and they didn't have the time to clean the kitchen in the house.

After a night's rest, Xin Wu walked in the dew in the slightly dilapidated courtyard. The flowers and trees used as landscape arrangements had not been pruned for many years, and the result of wanton growth was all kinds of weird shapes, not to mention the slightest aesthetic feeling.Qing Niang and others were missing, and she seemed to be the only one left in the yard.

Xin Wu tried to call other people's names, but got no response.

A black figure flashed by the archway, as if it was just an illusion.

Considering his own strength against the five slags, Xin Wu didn't catch up immediately.If the black shadow is someone she knows, she will appear in front of her without her chasing him. If not, there is no need for her to chase after him. It would be bad if she hurt herself.

Footsteps sounded from behind, completely opposite to the direction in which the black shadow disappeared. Xin Wu looked back and saw that Suqian's azure gown was somehow covered with many spider webs, and he didn't know where he got out of.

"Where did you go? I won't be able to find you when I wake up." Xin Wu walked back, complaining in a small voice about the panic when he woke up, and at that moment he almost thought that he had time-traveled again or been abandoned The feeling is not good.

Suqian wiped the spider webs on his face, "I went to find the letter, my father hid it in a strange place, and set up checkpoints, which took a lot of time." He explained his whereabouts.

Thinking of the small checkpoints he encountered on the way to find the letter, Suqian frowned slightly. He didn't like the little pets his father kept in the checkpoints, snakes, scorpions, and spiders. Fortunately, he didn't call Xin Wu to go there together.

Girls should hate those things very much!
Suqian thought uncertainly, he didn't know if Xin Wu was a special existence, and if Xin Wu liked those reptiles, he wouldn't be able to catch them.

"Do you want to raise spiders?" Suqian asked eagerly.

"Pig? No, I don't want to." I don't quite understand how the topic jumped from the letter to raising pigs. Could it be that the thing to do in the letter is to raise pigs?
It's not very reliable in any way.

Xin Wu's hellish look prevented Suqian from explaining that he was talking about spiders and not pigs. He glanced at the flowers and trees in the aisle, "Let's go back first, this place hasn't been cleaned yet, there may be snakes, insects, rats and ants." s things."

"Okay, I came out to look for you." Xin Wu took the lead on the way back, and when she passed another arched door, she suddenly remembered the black shadow just now, "By the way, you know that Qing Niang and Uncle Qi and the others What color clothes are you wearing today?"

"Huh?" Suqian thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Green and gray."

"Then what I saw was not them." In Suqian's confused eyes, Xin Wu explained: "Before you appeared, I saw a flash of black shadow from the arch. I am sure that it was not a wild cat. Or a mouse, it should be an out-and-out human figure.”

Suqian paused, his eyes wandering between Xin Wu and the arch behind him. While he wanted to find out who the shadow was, the idea of ​​protecting Xin Wu took root again in his heart. He was not sure what happened to Xin Wu when he left. A person will not be harmed.

Xin Wu turned her head and looked at Suqian who was left behind, "Why don't you leave?"

Su Qian's eyes darkened, and he followed silently, no matter what Xin Wu said along the way, he didn't answer.

Back in the main courtyard, Qingniang and Qi San had already set up breakfast on the table. They were also bought on the street. Although they were not made by themselves, they smelled very fragrant and tasted good.Xin Wu took a look, and found that their clothes were indeed the same as what Su Qian said, one green and one gray, and no one was wearing black.

After the meal, Qingniang was about to lead Qi San to clean other places, but Xin Wu called her to stop.

"Let's take a look at what was written in the letter left by Suqian's father. If there are no special circumstances, we should not stay in Pingchuan City for a long time. There is no need to clean up other yards. It would be too troublesome." Xin Wu said Said.

After she finished speaking, Suqian took out the letter.

The most common envelope in the study has only the words "From my son" on it, nothing special.

Suqian opened the envelope and took out a piece of letter paper from inside.

"Find what is hidden in the house and take it away."

Thirteen words, two punctuation marks, two things that need to be done.

Xin Wu rubbed the veil on her face, feeling that she might be blushing now, she said just now that she didn't need to tidy up the house, and now the letter was talking about hunting for treasure in the house, it was really a coincidence.

"What does this refer to? Could it be wine?" Xin Wu moved to Suqian's side and looked at the words on the letter. The words were beautifully written, similar to the inscriptions on the stone tablet outside Sanshan Town.

Su Qian folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, shaking his head: "I don't know, it should be something with a special mark, and I don't know how many there are."

"Is it like the mark we saw last time?" Xin Wu was talking about when they dug up the hidden wine on the mountain.

"En." Su Qian nodded, he stuffed the envelope into his arms, and looked at Qing Niang and Qi San who were about to go out and start looking for things: "Don't rush to find things, there are other people in the house besides us. Before those who wake up, what is said in the letter can be put aside first."

Qi San's face changed, he thought of leaving Xin Wu alone in the yard in the morning, and couldn't help feeling scared.

Xin Wu who was facing the black shadow was not very afraid, after all, she just saw it and was not hurt. With her mind opened, she couldn't help but make a hypothesis: "Suqian, do you think that the black shadow might be the one referred to in the letter? things!"

Suqian looked at Xin Wu with complicated eyes, a little worried that her head was broken because of fear, his eyes fully expressed his feelings, but he didn't speak out.

"Stay with me and don't walk away." He said to Xin Wu.

The air was suddenly filled with a faint scent of laurel flowers, and Xin Wu waved her hand to fan the increasingly intense scent, she hated this smell very much, it reminded her of anything Qi Wenxia remembered, she hated it too.And laurel fragrance can be ranked in the top few.

Among Wen Hongxuan's confidante, there is a girl named Daiyue who likes the fragrance of bay osmanthus the most, and there will always be this smell lingering wherever she appears.When Xin Wu saw that memory, she wondered badly, if that girl had body odor or something, so she could use the fragrance of flowers to cover it up.How can normal people get used to being surrounded by such a strong smell all the time, are they not afraid of nose failure?
