female catcher

Fengyang Mansion, Pearl City.

In the bustling city, there are shouts one after another, and pedestrians are rushing shoulder to shoulder. It is not a festive season, but the weather is clear and it is suitable for going out, and it happens to coincide with the market day. There are many voices of natural people, and there will be congestion in the busy market when new things happen.

No, once the art booth is full of people, there is no room for crowds, and Qu Shui squeezed to the front of the crowd with her little bundle on her back and her dexterous body.Looking at that scene again, there are those who smashed boulders in their chests, those who fought with knives and guns, those who performed jujitsu on top of bowls, and those who changed their faces. This is still a fairly large-scale entertainment team.

Everyone in this team has solid skills, and all the tricks have won a lot of applause.Just when there were many people, almost everyone in the team tried their best to please the spectators. Only one person in the corner was lazily lying on a bench basking in the sun, his legs were still bent and he was sitting on the board. The mustache is on the chin, the long face has a pair of small eyes, and beside him is a pile of debris and a pole.Whether the pole is tall or short, there is a monkey squatting on it.

There is a bell tied around the monkey's neck, and a small cloth cap on the head. It looks very pleasing, and it also looks handsome in the monkey. It holds the gong and the drumstick with its two paws, and it keeps turning. Drumstick was smart.

The bystanders couldn't help asking: "Hey man, what can this monkey do? Let it perform a show."

The middle-aged man didn't raise his eyes, and patted his stomach unhurriedly and said: "There are many people who know it. If you know it, it will, and if you don't, it will still do it. But today is not a coincidence, it will be on the third and fifth day of junior high school. rest."

"Just brag about it!" The onlookers booed, saying that the mustache only talks but doesn't practice fake moves.The mustache didn't care, he kicked up the bamboo hat next to him, took it in his hand and stretched it to the side, this is asking for money before the performance.Others laughed and cursed, and many people turned away, but he didn't care when he covered his face with the bamboo hat.

Suddenly a whistle was heard, and the monkey smashed down the gong and mallet in his hand, hitting him impartially.

"Hey! You monkey, you can't rebel!" He sat up at once, but saw the monkey jumping happily on the pole. Looking in the direction the monkey was facing, the mustache saw the man smiling like the morning sun. Qu Shui was blinking at him, and that charming look instantly cheered up the lazy him.

"Monkey, come to work!" He yelled at the monkey, and the monkey rushed to the ground, picked up the gong and beat it, somersaulted like a human, it can do tricks that a human can do, and it can dance with a knife. The gun is also unambiguous, and when the performance is performed hard, the crowd is immediately attracted by the monkey, and when they look around, Qushui is hidden behind them.

Xiao Huzi took the opportunity to sneak to the Qushui, cupped his fists and said, "Shui girl!"

Qu Shui pulled the burden, and punched the little beard with the sword hand, "Okay, Sun Dabao, you have a good life, is this what you use for raising monkeys?"

"Ha! Miss Shui laughed. I didn't come here right after I received the letter, and I also earned a few pennies to make ends meet." Sun Dabao stroked the beard on his chin, and said seriously, "Miss Shui, look at you. The servant must have just arrived, you go to the Mingzhu Restaurant to rest for a while, and I will call the old brothers over in a while."

"Are they all here?"

"It's almost there. When you call, whoever comes here will come quickly."

"Okay, don't be poor. Then I will go to the Pearl Restaurant first, and we will talk about it in detail when you are all here."

"Got it!"

Sun Dabao squeezed into the crowd again, picked up the bamboo hat that received the money, and this time the copper coins fell in one after another with a crisp sound.Qu Shui also left the market and went to the Pearl Restaurant.

Pearl Restaurant.

This is a small restaurant in a big city, and there are not many customers, and since Sun Dabao asked Qu Shui to come here, it means that this place is suitable for them to meet.When Sun Dabao came back from the market with a sack of copper coins, there were already two people beside Qushui, an elegant man in white and a Taoist priest.

The man in white was relatively young, holding a black folding fan made of an unusual material in his hand, and the Taoist priest was an ordinary Taoist priest in green clothes, sitting upright with a dust whisk in his hand and a sword beside him.

As soon as Qu Shui refilled tea for the two of them, Sun Dabao took his seat, put the money away, and said proudly: "Hey, this table of wine and food is just for me!"

Sun Dabao's monkey ran to sit next to Qushui, Qushui grabbed a handful of food for the monkey, and said, "Okay, let's talk about business first."

"Okay, Miss Shui, did you call me, Xiaobai, and Lin Daochang together this time because of the recent disappearance of people in the rivers and lakes?" Sun Dabao also put away his playful smile.

"That's right. I'm here this time to find out what's going on under the order of my lady. I called you here because Master Zeng, Taoist Mu, and Shi Nanxing are all missing. It is to investigate the death of Xiao Huaiyang from the Wei Tuo sect."

Sun Dabao: "What's the matter, the Nangong arrester thinks that Xiao Huaiyang's death is related to the disappearance of our three sects?"

Qu Shui: "It's not sure yet, but Xiao Huaiyang's death at this time will indeed make people think."

The other three nodded, Daoshi Lin also said: "No matter what, Wei Tuomen has some friendship with Qingxu Guan, investigate Xiao Huaiyang's death, I, Lin Changying, will fully cooperate with Miss Shui."

"Bai Yuheng is also willing to go through fire and water for the girl." Bai Yuheng closed his fan and said solemnly.

Seeing Bai Yuheng's upright expression, Sun Dabao smiled meaningfully while stroking his mustache. Qu Shui rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Thank you both. I want to ask Master Zeng and the others what happened before they disappeared. Nothing unusual?"

The other three looked at each other, thinking about it, Lin Changying said: "The concept of Qingxu always pays attention to self-cultivation, and my brother Mu Taoist is used to living in seclusion, and he is not even willing to inherit the position of head, so he suddenly disappeared. We also feel very strange, if you want to say that we are strange, "

He shook his head, and Sun Dabao continued: "Our master disappeared during retreat. When the disciple who took care of his daily life found him missing, there was only the old white ape left in the retreat room. We found Sanghun San and Wubu Dart on the old white ape. The Wubudart is the hidden weapon of Zhou Zou's fame, and Sanghun San is famous for the poisonous Zen son Wu Kong. Both of them joined the Walking Corpse Building. I It seems that it has something to do with the Walking Corpse Building."

Qu Shui frowned, "It's the Walking Corpse Building again? There are rumors that Xiao Huaiyang's death was also caused by the Walking Corpse Building, and now it's true. But why did they do this? They didn't do it for money ?"

The other three people also shook their heads to express their ignorance. Bai Yuheng was quiet for a long time before he said, "Actually, I have heard about the mysterious disappearance and death of people in the Jianghu. Come back, I have already inquired from all directions to invite that senior. But after he came to the city, he separated from me and wanted to go around by himself. I left a signal and thought he would come here soon. Also, there was someone before my master disappeared. For a period of time, he seemed to be communicating with someone non-stop, and he often looked preoccupied. After he disappeared, I found an unburned letter from his room. The content could not be read clearly, only a mark. Could his disappearance be related to this?"

Bai Yuheng took out the residual letter and handed it to Qushui first.When Qu Shui saw that it was a painting of a ghost-headed sword stabbed obliquely in the door lock, she became puzzled: "This--it seems to be the mark of Jian Feishuang?"

She gave the remnant letter to the other two, and after reading it, Lin Changying also said: "Jian Feishuang, nicknamed 'Ghost Gate', is also a well-known hunter in the Jianghu. Hunters like them use their own marks whether they receive rewards or communicate. , this mark belongs to Jian Feishuang, that's right."

"Hiss—" Sun Dabao scratched his beard on his chin and pondered for a while, and said, "So, I seem to have seen this mark too. It seems that I saw it at the master's uncle."

"Is that so?" Qu Shui muttered and thought for a while to no avail, then she asked again: "Brother Bai, who is that senior you are talking about?"

"It's Qiankun fan Zuo Huazhang, my Grand Master Uncle."

"Qiankun slaps Zuo Huazhang!" Qu Shui was surprised, the person who left the house with the master back then seemed to be Zuo Huazhang after Nangong Biluo's investigation. "We have been looking for him for a long time, didn't we hear that he is dead?"

Bai Yuheng looked a little embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable, and he laughed loudly: "Haha! Little girl, don't curse your grandfather Zuo, I will still be here after you die."

With this sound, a gust of wind came.

The monkey next to Qushui screamed and jumped back into Sun Dabao's arms. An old man with disheveled hair was sitting where the monkey was sitting, and he put his arms on Qushui's shoulders and hugged him tightly.The back of Qu Shui's hand, which took advantage of her in her natural reaction point, made the visitor let go, and stabbed with a chopstick beside her.

But the person didn't get stabbed, Qu Shui and the old man came and went and broke a few tricks, her chopsticks were thrown into the beam by the old man, and the old man was also forced by Qu Shui to sit next to Bai Yuheng, laughing while sitting : "Girl doll is good at kung fu!"

"Uncle Grand Master!" Bai Yuheng was in a hurry. He stood up and did not dare to speak harshly to the old man, so he hastily apologized to Qu Shui: "Miss Qushui, my grand master offended you. I really shouldn't have offended you. Please, miss forgive!"

Qu Shui didn't take it seriously, glanced at Bai Yuheng, and looked more at the old man who was looking at him more. They laughed strangely and grinned at Sun Dabao's monkey, which made people terrified.

"This is the Qiankun Fan Zuo Huazhang?" Qu Shui was a little bit unconvinced.

Not only Qu Shui, but the other two also didn't believe it. After all, they had heard about Zuo Huazhang and the others, and the people of Tie Fan Sect were always elegant people, and they were as personable as Bai Yuheng. How could he be such a nagging old man?

When Zuo Huazhang heard Qu Shui mention his name, he immediately put down his chopsticks, and took out an iron fan similar to Bai Yuheng from behind, and unfolded it with a brush, suddenly becoming gentle and elegant, "This is the Qiankun Fan Zuo Huazhang."

The three of Qushui were even more puzzled. Zuo Huazhang seemed to be out of his mind, and Bai Yuheng smiled apologetically, and then asked, "Uncle Grand Master, where have you been? Didn't you agree to just go shopping for a while?"

"Ah~ I haven't gone anywhere, I've been following you kid, but you're stupid and didn't notice, that is, I saw a few people leave for a while just now." Zuo Huazhang put away his fan again, chewing While serving the dishes, he said again: "Hehehe, Xiaobai, people say that our iron gate is always holding a fan to pretend to be a picture no matter whether it is hot or cold all year round. Guess what I saw just now? I saw a man in black and wearing a The woman in the bamboo hat, do you think there is something wrong with her wearing black clothes like night clothes in broad daylight?"

Qu Shui also laughed, "I also think there is something wrong with this. But maybe people like black clothes, or black clothes are fierce, in order to ward off disasters. And wear a bamboo hat? Either it's too pretty, or it's too ugly. You say you Anyway, she is also an old senior, there are many people like this in Jianghu, why do you go to see her alone?"

Zuo Huazhang paused, he put down the chopsticks, said he was serious but seemed in a trance and said: "Look at that figure, she is definitely not ugly. Yes, why should I go to see her? I didn't even see her face. Some people call her 'Niang Niang', Niang Niang? I seem to have heard it before. When? Oh, I don’t want to."

"Your Majesty!" Hearing him say this, Qu Shui immediately thought of the time he went to find Xia Tonghua's injury. She was also a black-clothed bamboo hat, and she was the Meiji from the Walking Corpse Building! "Where is the man you speak of?"

"It's on this street. Now that I think about it, I've come to the corner of the street." Zuo Huazhang started eating again.

Qu Shui opened the window and saw a figure walking towards another street from a distance, she couldn't help murmuring: "Is it really her?"

Bai Yuheng and the others came over, but before asking, Qu Shui had already closed the window and turned around. Seeing that she was lost in thought, they didn't rush to ask.

On the street, Ning Yan led the four of them towards the place where the impermanent ghost arranged for him. Suddenly he felt something, stopped and looked back, but there were similar buildings all around, and there was nothing unusual, so Ning Yan thought it was Self-conscious.She seldom leaves Beijing to do business. This time Xiao Huaiyang's death is really a bit strange. It is not just like a mistake in the walking corpse building. She is eager to share some things for Feng Piaoxu. She is protected under Feng Piaoxu's wings. It's so good, it's really time to grow up.

Inside the Pearl Restaurant, Bai Yuheng still couldn't help asking Qu Shui: "Miss Qu Shui, who did you see? Is there any difficulty?"

Qu Shui heard this question in deep thought, but shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, but this time I saw a big fish."

Her smile was somewhat similar to that of her young lady. After a moment, she recovered and returned to normal. She patted Bai Yuheng's shoulder and said, "Brother Bai, we have arrived at the site of Wei Tuomen. Discuss how to investigate Xiao Huaiyang's death."

Bai Yuheng looked over his shoulder, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

It was night, and many dark shadows were sneaking towards Wei Tuomen.
