Gu Runzhi's expression suddenly dimmed.

"Dead, dead?"

His Adam's apple twitched slightly, and his usually eloquent mouth opened and closed for a long time without saying anything.He smiled, and the corners of his lips trembled violently. He turned his head to avoid meeting my gaze, and stared at the exhibition screen for a long time.

I patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.

Gu Runzhi smiled, indicating that he was fine, and said hoarsely, "Miss Sang is a good person, a very kind person."

I thought of the woman who tilted her head in the pavilion and praised me for my good writing, and smiled dryly: "That's right."

"The children in the garden like her, of course, and you too. But she seems gentler and easier to get along with. You are too expensive, and the children are afraid to approach you."

"She was indeed a very gentle person."

"Well," Gu Runzhi lowered his head, a tear dripped on the green shirt, "No one can compare to her."

Gu Runzhi wiped the corners of his eyes, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Miss Qingru, how did Miss Sang die?"

how to die.

"she……"

Baishitong knocked on the screen suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Girl, Boss Qi is here."

Boss Qi's word Lianyun is the boss who sells Wangyouxiang.

I glanced at Gu Runzhi, and Gu Runzhi immediately stood up and said, "Miss Qingru must have something else to do, so Runzhi will stop bothering you."

"Alright."

Gu Runzhi said and left.

"Runzhi!" I called out to him again.

Gu Runzhi paused.

"Someday, another day, you and I can go back to the garden and have a look."

Gu Runzhi turned around and bowed, and said with a gentle smile, "Then Runzhi is here to wait for the girl."

***

Best Guide led Boss Qi to come in from behind the screen.

Boss Qi couldn't tell his age, there was no wrinkle on his face, but he was dry and thin, and he was wearing a very loose Taoist uniform. There were sparse visible hair roots on his forehead, but a Taoist head was still stubbornly tied.

I hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Qi..." After a pause, I was not sure how to address him: "Qi Daochang?"

Qi Lianyun narrowed his small eyes, and waved his hands generously: "Bai is very polite, and the girl will call me Lianyun."

"Okay." I called him politely, "I'm right."

Knowledgeable: "..."

Qi Lianyun: "..."

Baishitong clenched his fists and coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "He said that you can call him Lianyun."

Ah, so.

I blushed with shame.

Ask Qi Lianyun to sit down: "To show respect, I won't call you by name, let's call you Daochang Qi."

Qi Lianyun nodded indifferently: "You can call it whatever you want." As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes swept over the sauced elbow and fried short ribs on the table, and he couldn't help but smacked his mouth and stroked his mustache Said: "My mother, why are you so fat?"

Baishitong helped him prepare vegetables: "Boss Qi, please use it."

Qi Lianyun withdrew his hand and declined: "It's not good for Anyang, it's like I'm here to rub you for a meal."

I hurriedly said: "Don't say that, the Taoist priest. We invited the Taoist priest to come. Naturally, the meals have to be prepared. Is this enough? It's not enough to order casually."

Qi Lianyun laughed like a flower: "Spicy enough, spicy enough," just picked up the chopsticks and had another meal, "I'll eat these, what do you two eat?"

What do we two eat?

I looked at Baishitong, and Baishitong said in a low voice: "All I ordered are his meals, Your Highness, you can order another if you want to eat."

I:"……"

I touched the empty purse and said with a chuckle, "We've already eaten, so we're not hungry."

"Really?" Qi Lianyun felt relieved: "Nang, I'm not welcome."

After all, he started to eat in a whirlwind.

But after a while, there were only a few gnawed bones left on the table swaying between the plates.

Seeing that the marrow of the last pig bone was wiped clean by him, I quietly swallowed, and asked cautiously: "Is the Taoist priest full?"

Qi Lianyun rubbed his swollen belly: "It's not too bad, I haven't eaten such a good meal for a few days."

I wondered: "The Taoist priest should make a lot of money selling spices, why can't he eat good food?"

Qi Lianyun burped: "Young lady doesn't know something. Although I sold spices for a lot of money, I spent all of it."

Know-it-all probably hadn’t heard of this before, so he came over and wondered, “Why is that?”

Qi Lianyun was a little embarrassed: "I'm not practicing elixir. Sometimes the elixir is filled with the wrong ingredients and it likes to fry it. Once it's fried, it destroys my Taoist temple, so I have to practice Taoist temple. Selling spices these years All the money I got was spent on cultivating the Tao.”

Beston and I looked at each other: "Then how often do you blow up Taoist temples?"

Qi Lianyun was even more shy: "It's only seven or eight times a year."

"..."

Qi Lianyun saw us looking at him like unreliable charlatans, and hurriedly said: "One day I will be able to practice a panacea!"

"Okay, okay." Besitone and I were afraid that he would leave in a fit of anger, so we hurriedly nodded to express our trust in him.

After drinking some more tea, Pepsito saw Qi Lianyun's satisfied expression, so he asked Xiao Er to take away the leftovers, made another pot of tea and filled it up for him, then pointed at me and said, "To tell you the truth, This time the Taoist priest is invited, mainly for the matter of Wang Youxiang."

Qi Lianyun took a sip of tea, almost jumped up when it was so hot, he sat down again and said, "Well, tell me."

Know everything about me.I stepped forward to answer the question and asked, "Please ask, sir, do you still have any memory of the person you circled in the portrait last time?"

Qi Lianyun replied: "Yes."

"Then can you tell me in detail what happened when she bought incense?"

Qi Lianyun reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, crackling them: "Oh, this must have happened two or three years ago."

***

three years ago.

Qi Lianyun was kicked out by the renter because he had no money to pay the rent, and was almost taken into the government by being treated like a magic stick.

Fortunately, during the tug, a woman with curly hair riding a black horse passed by and gave him a piece of silver to help him out of the predicament.

Afterwards, the woman wanted to leave, but Qi Lianyun stopped her, saying that she wanted to do a divination for her in return for her kindness.

The woman was so entangled that she had to dismount and sit with him in the tea shed.

Qi Lianyun wanted to tell him a fortune teller, but the woman refused, so she only asked him about it, hoping that he could pass a word to her dead best friend.

Qi Lianyun found it strange and interesting, so he asked what it was.

The woman said lightly: "A-Ling is extremely selfish. In this life, she only wants to be with her enemies and cannot avenge her best friend. She only wishes to be a cow or a horse in the next life to make up for her selfishness in this life."

Qi Lianyun wrote it down, and promised to send a message for her when he returned to the Taoist temple.

Seeing that the woman still has bruises under her eyes, she was afraid that she would not be able to rest her pillow at night, so she said to her, "I have a spice called Wangyou. Take a grain of it every day and light it to calm your mind and fall asleep."

But the woman said: "Can spices relieve loss of appetite?"

"Naturally, the seed fragrance is fine. The girl also loses her appetite?"

The woman said: "Give me both kinds of incense. There is someone in the family who doesn't think about food and drink every day. I'm worried that she will lose weight if she starves..."

At the end, the woman added another sentence lightly: "It's not very good-looking in the first place."
