Chapter 4 Moulting·Coffin Board·Flowers

"Tuk Tuk!"

Standing behind Xian Changge, Hua Jiujin opened her mouth and yawned as if she hadn't woken up yet.Rubbing her forehead back and forth with her long fingers, her sober eyes were covered with a layer of blur, and she looked around.

Today is cloudy, the gray sky looks pure and reveals a soothing force, and the air is also very good.She took a deep breath and took several breaths of fresh air.

Beside Hua Jiujin, a tall and handsome bald man stood himself up as a patron saint, without turning his eyes.Lilith had long golden hair like a doll, put her hands in her trouser pockets, and looked at Shi Minglu next to her. She didn't know this person well.Newcomer?

Xian Changge knocked on the door, but no one answered inside.He took out a slender wire from his pocket, and began to pick the lock openly.

The corners of Shi Minglu's eyes twitched suddenly. It was the first time for him to go out with the Pavilion Master to run a mission. Unexpectedly, it was such a way of working.He looked at Hua Jiujin, and saw that the pavilion master did not stop him in the slightest, and the chief executive Xian had such a calm demeanor.This, isn't this inappropriate?

The door opened, Xian Changge took a step back, "Sister Hua."

Hua Jiujin nodded, and walked in first, followed by Xian Changge and Lilith, and then only the frightened Shi Minglu stood on the steps in front of the gate, looking around guiltily. There was no one, and the neighbors on both sides didn't make any movement, so they stepped in and closed the door intact.

Enter the door and go down three steps to the central courtyard.

The courtyards in the capital area are all in the form of courtyards, but the courtyards of ordinary people are also simple and not so elegant.

In the center of the courtyard is an ancient tree that is hugged by two people, and there are three vats on the left and right sides of the veranda.

"What smell?" Xian Changge frowned as soon as he entered.It's a bit like a rotten smell, and it has a fishy smell.

Xian Changge picked a slender stick from the piled firewood, then ran to the old tree and bent down, poking something up.Frowning, he stared at him with disgust for a while. "Lilith, come and have a look, what is this?"

"What did you find?"

"Here!" Xian Changge stretched out the stick in his hand, and almost threw the skin-like thing onto Lilith's body.

"Oh! What are you doing, Xian Changge! Don't shake it! My military robe is still new, put it down quickly!" Lilith quickly jumped to the side, pulling up the hem of her military robe nervously, Check to see if you've been dumped.

Xian Changge couldn't help laughing, but he obediently put the sticky and dripping thing on the ground.

But it was just a joke.Lilith took out a pair of gloves from her arms.The gloves were very thin, almost as thin as onion wings, which Hua Jiujin had never seen before.She walked to Lilith's side and saw that she put the glove on her finger, and it fit perfectly, as if it was another layer of her skin.

With some mucus on her long fingers, she sniffed it at the tip of her nose, and Lilith's expression instantly became serious.She studied this thing over and over again, and finally cut a small piece and put it in a glass bottle before she took off her gloves and stood up. "It's still very fresh, but the skin that only faded in two or three days should not run far, but..." Lilith pondered for a while, thinking of the two corpse pits they had found so far, eating so many people, this The speed and power of things are beyond their comprehension, "...the two deep pits we have discovered so far, I don't know if there are any others. ...It seems that this time I encountered a thousand-year-old octopus."

Lilith was a little emotional.

Xian Changge also looked serious and serious.

Hua Jiujin's eyes were deep, and she seemed to be very used to it.

The thousand-year-old octopus is, of course, just a metaphor. It generally refers to things that are very difficult, and they may not even be able to take them down completely.

Hua Jiujin raised her eyebrows, signaling to continue the search.

Xian Changge pried open the doors one by one.In fact, as long as they inform the responsible government here, they can get the key, and they don't have to do such petty things.But Hua Jiujin thought it was troublesome, so the results were the same, the same, the same.

The four searched all the rooms carefully and recorded all the clues before retreating and locking the door again.

Hua Jiujin stretched her waist, looked at the weather, hey, what a day for sleeping.She was about to say, "Let's go back to bed."As a result, Xian Changge took out a pair of gold-rimmed eyes from his arms and pretended to put them on, then took out a small book with a red cover and the size of a palm, and opened it.

"Sister Hua, the daughter of the Minister of War has a dinner with you at Huamanlou at noon today."

"The daughter of the Minister of War? Why is she looking for me? The Queen Mother is going to kill me if she finds out." Hua Jiujin looked at Xian Changge in shock, Changge, you, you are killing me . "Dinners like this, no matter men or women, Zi Keyan can handle it, why do you want me to come forward today?"

Xian Changge nodded, indeed.However, "Ke Yan has been in a relationship recently and has no time."

"Falling in love?" Hua Jiujin was not angry, but was stunned, "That coffin board can also fall in love? Which young man is she looking at, or which young lady?"

Xian Changge stroked his glasses pretendingly, "I don't know."

"Boss! Boss! Iknow, iknow!" Lilith rushed to Hua Jiujin excitedly.The silly and cute appearance is like a chihuahua trying to attract the owner's attention.

"Speaking in human language, I don't understand."

"I know. I know who Keyan has his eye on." Lilith had an inscrutable expression on her face, hiding her achievements and fame.

"You've only been back for a few days, how do you even know about this?" Hua Jiujin was suspicious.

"I just happened to see it by accident when I went to [Hua Li Lane] the day before yesterday. Ke Yan was sitting beside [Yi Mile Street] wearing a military robe and accompanied a woman selling flowers there..." Lilith began to publish My own opinion, "...But Yan is true, who would dare to go up and buy flowers in a place like Huali Nong wearing Xing Fange's military robe, and pity the blind girl." Lilith said He kept shaking his head.

"Come on, let's go and see."

Hua Jiujin thought, even if the coffin board is in a relationship, she must be allowed to work.Otherwise, the queen mother will be sad.

"Here, it's right there." Lilith stretched out her long fingers.Hua Jiujin looked in the direction of her finger.

The two sat on the ground, with Zi Keyan's military robes under them.Zi Keyan's mouth kept moving.Hua Jiujin and the others stood so far away that they couldn't hear what they were saying, but seeing the woman in the white dress next to her smile and bend her eyebrows from time to time, she could tell that Zi Keyan was deliberately making her laugh.

That kind of gentle expression appeared on the face of the coffin board, and Hua Jiujin was frightened inside.

After a few people approached, it was clear that the woman's wide-open eyes were not focused at all, her head was slightly tilted in Zi Keyan's direction, her eyes were narrowed, and she was always smiling.With fair skin and small facial features, she is a beauty, but unfortunately, she is blind.

In such a chaotic place in Huali, I think I have been bullied a lot.

Hua Jiujin sighed slightly, and walked in front of the two of them.

Although the woman was blind, her other senses seemed to be exceptionally sharp. She heard footsteps stopping in front of her, and immediately stopped talking with Zi Keyan, opened her unfocused eyes to the front, and showed a gentle and gentle smile. It is as soft as a spring breeze but as fragile as enamel that breaks at the touch of a finger. "Guest officer, do you want to buy flowers?"

Hua Jiujin glanced at her, and then looked at Zi Keyan, who was sitting beside the woman and saw that they immediately became alert. Zi Keyan's light-colored pupils flashed a hint of warning, but she sat beside the woman and didn't get up.

Hua Jiujin looked at the woman who turned her face towards her, who was clearly invisible but had the most tolerant and gentle expression. "Buy." She pointed, but the woman couldn't see, "I want all these flowers, how much?"

The woman was obviously very happy, and someone bought all her flowers.She let out a small exclamation, and the corners of her eyes narrowed. "It's forty copper coins in total. Guest officer, are you giving these flowers away?"

Hua Jiujin nodded, and thought that she couldn't see, so she gave a soft "Yes".She raised her arm and signaled Xian Changge to pay.

"Guest officer, if you are not in a hurry, let me bandage these flowers for you." The woman sat on the ground with her young face upturned, with a gentle smile on her face.The slender fingers have accurately hugged the flowers to her knees, pinched the flower stems and began to arrange the flowers into a bunch.

Hua Jiujin wanted to say no, how could she bandage a blind person.But that woman has already skillfully started tidying up.Obviously, obviously can't see...

The more Zi Keyan looked at the people in front of him, the more he disliked them, and he stood up quietly.

"Ke Yan, where are you going?" The blind woman noticed something, turned her head and asked softly.

Zi Keyan quickly bent down again, and explained in a soft voice: "I'll go over there and buy you some flower paper, so that you can wrap it up more beautifully. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, then be careful." The woman nodded.Today's flowers were all bought by a local tyrant, which obviously made her very happy.

Zi Keyan glanced at Hua Jiujin and the others, then walked towards the flower paper shop across the street.

Hua Jiujin followed.

"Sister Hua, why are you here suddenly? What's the matter?" Several people stood by the side wall of the flower paper shop.The eye-catching appearance of a military robe attracts the frequent attention of passers-by.

Hua Jiujin put her hands in her trouser pockets, her military robe was draped over her shoulders, and her long black hair fell casually on her slender and straight back. She was leaning lazily against the wall with her long legs propped up, pouted her mouth, and gestured Changge told Zi Keyan what he told her again.

"At noon, I have a dinner with the daughter of the Ministry of War, at Huamanlou. Sister Hua doesn't want to go, so I let you go." Xian Changge adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a gentle look.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Zi Keyan felt a little puzzled, when did Xian Changge become short-sighted? ?

Xian Changge: "..."

"You go out to the field and don't manage paperwork. [Ghost Face] wears glasses and pretends to be a gentle scum." Zi Keyan said to the point.

Xian Changge: "..."

She suddenly took off her glasses and stuffed them into her bosom, pouted with shame and resentment, and stared at Zi Keyan.

Why is this coffin board so annoying!

Zi Keyan looked at Hua Jiujin again. "I can't do the dinner, the queen mother is strictly in charge, you know that."

"Okay, but." Zi Keyan responded, turned to look at the gentle and elegant woman over there, and begged Hua Jiujin: "Recently, there is a dude who is pestering Xiao Shuang. Please help me when I'm away." Find someone to watch over."

"Okay." Hua Jiujin nodded.She took out a box of matches from her pocket, and Xian Changge quickly took out a cigarette and lit it for Hua Jiujin.

Hua Jiujin took a deep breath, held the cigarette weakly with her long fingers and lowered her arms, raised her head, squinted her misty eyes, and gently exhaled smoke rings, her exquisite and seductive face instantly became psychedelic, she was decadent, corrupt, and rotten. The appearance is like those addicted smokers, but this appearance is more sexy and chic, mixed with the daunting aura of blood and bones.

The girls passing by all gathered together in twos and threes, smiling at Hua Jiujin and discussing, and winking at her.

Hua Jiujin was also in a good mood at the moment, and waved at the girls with her long finger holding a cigarette.The girls giggled and ran away.

"You, what's your name?" Her gaze fell on the bald man who followed her with a very low sense of presence.

"Go back to the pavilion master, and your subordinates are named Lu."

"Whose subordinate?"

"Captain Mo."

"Group leader Mo? Mo Guanyin?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you can keep an eye on that girl while Keyan is away. If something happens, you are the only one to ask." After flicking the cigarette ash, Hua Jiujin ordered.

"Yes!"

Zi Keyan actually walked into the flower paper shop to pick out a few pieces of flower paper when Hua Jiujin gave her orders, and then walked back, Hua Jiujin and the others naturally followed.But she threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground ahead of time and stomped it out.

"Xiao Shuang, flower paper."

"Thank you." Meng Xiaoshuang took the flower paper in her palm, opened a pair of out-of-focus eyes, spread the paper out and touched the edge, roughly knowing the size of the flower paper. "Keyan, help me see where the pattern is, is the pattern reversed?"

"it is good."

Hua Jiujin just stood aside, not speaking, quietly watching the blind woman bandage the flowers with some proficiency and a half-groping look. She is as fragile as the flowers on the cliff, and the wind is a little stronger Then folded.

Unable to see, two-thirds of the world deserted her.But why can she still accept it so frankly, with a kindness from the inside out, gentle and tolerant, and such a positive attitude.

Hua Jiujin didn't understand.She doesn't understand.She thought that if she was blind, she would complain about the injustice of God, collapse and despair, and then die.

"Okay!" The woman cried happily, then raised her head and stretched out her hand to hand the beautiful bouquet to the front.The guest officer has not spoken, and she is not sure where the other party is. "Guest officer, your flowers are ready."

"Thank you." Hua Jiujin's voice was a little soft, but her words of thanks were extremely formal.In her position, she would never say thank you to anyone, let alone 'thank you'.She bent down, took her hands out of her trouser pockets, took the bouquet, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. "Very fragrant, I like it very much."

"As long as you like it." Meng Xiaoshuang showed another soft smile.Pure, lovely and a little pitiful.

"Let's go." Hua Jiujin bid farewell to Meng Xiaoshuang with the flower in her arms.Looking at Zi Keyan, she nodded.

"Go away." Meng Xiaoshuang recognized the direction of their departure from the sound of Hua Jiujin's and the others' leaving footsteps, and waved her hand in that direction.Well, that's pretty accurate.

Hua Jiujin felt pity and respect for such a fragile and strong woman, even though she knew she couldn't see, she stretched out her hand and waved at her.

She said to Xian Changge: "Find a few more trustworthy people to protect them."

Xian Changge: "Uh..."

Xian Changge: "Sister Hua, don't you have a queen mother..."

"Where do you want to go?" Hua Jiujin smelled the fragrance of flowers. "Protect the coffin board."

"Yes."
