My child's father is me

Chapter 26: Secretly Observing

When Shen Huaibi heard this, his eyes, which had been staring at Qi Mo's hand just now, instantly turned to the small porcelain cup he was holding in his hand.

The small porcelain cup is dark brown, with a weird Persian-style flower glaze on it, full of Western style.Shen Huaibi knew that this kind of porcelain bottle was never produced in the Central Plains, and this porcelain cup was brought from outside the region.

The opening of the porcelain cup was not opened, but was wrapped with a thick layer of white cloth, as if to prevent the things inside from crawling out.

Shen Huaibi said to Qi Mo: "Give it to me, be careful not to let the things inside crawl out."

Qi Mo also knew that this thing was very dangerous, and he couldn't handle it alone, so he obediently gave it to Shen Huaibi.

The other party took the porcelain cup in his hand and shook it lightly.

There was a soft "rustling" sound from the porcelain cup, as if it contained many small things.

"This is not a mother's gu." Shen Huaibi straightened the porcelain cup and said calmly, "Guess what's inside?"

Qi Mo's face was serious, with a fine line between his eyebrows.He thought for a while, and then replied: "If it's not the mother Gu, then it's something related to Gu poison. Otherwise, it wouldn't be put in this porcelain cup? Is it so tightly hidden? I guess... this is the son Gu it."

Shen Huaibi smiled lightly, but didn't make a sound, just took out a small knife from his pocket, cut off the white cloth binding the porcelain cup neatly, and put it under the fire folder.

Under Qi Mo's gaze, the white cloth was torn apart, and the things inside ran out by themselves——

It was an eight-legged Gu worm, small and dense in shape, and each one was only half the size of a grain of rice.Such a porcelain cup is filled with hundreds of eight-legged Gu worms.

Shen Huaibi didn't let them? Run out, and set fire to it, and those? Insects were all dead.There was a strange burnt aroma in the air, Qi Mo couldn't bear to smell it, and jumped away, clutching his nose.

"This is the child Gu, the kind of Gu that is connected to the mother Gu." Seeing that he was hiding far away, Shen Huaibi couldn't help laughing and said, "Little Eleven, listen...you were a boy the size of a weak crown last year. It’s so big, wouldn’t it still be afraid of these? Bugs, right?”

Qi Mo was a little embarrassed by his words, and he refused to bow his head in front of him casually, allowing him to laugh, so he had to insist: "Who is afraid of bugs? I'm not afraid! I just think they? It's disgusting, it just moved a little bit outside..."

Before Shen Huaibi started laughing at him, Qi Mo himself felt a little guilty, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

He rubbed his nose, lit another torch, and said to himself: "I see? Together? I think? It’s just his personal bad taste, general, you must not learn from it!”

Shen Huaibi didn't make fun of him anymore, and said seriously: "Then we can save trouble this time, we have already found Zigu, which proves that the source of this 'plague' that has been planned for a long time is Huaman Villa. Ten Do you remember? When we two came to Huaman Villa before, we heard that the owner of Manyue Fang had a precious guest named Mr. Wen."

Qi Mo didn't understand why he wanted to involve Mr. Wen again, and asked, "What does this have to do with that Mr. Wen?"

Shen Huaibi said honestly: "I don't know either, but I know that this person is probably setting up behind the scenes, watching us like watching a marionette acting on stage.

Guess what he gave us? What was the ending of the arrangement? "

Just thinking about it, Qi Mo felt a little creepy.He unconsciously hugged his arms tightly, and in front of his eyes was only the warm yellow light from the burning fire.

Shen Huaibi took a deep look at him, but didn't point it out, leaving Qi Mo to think about it alone.

"Let's? Let's move on, I want to see? Look?, where can he hide the mother voodoo with such supernatural powers?"

The luminous pearls arranged in layers are like guides, silently guiding them? The direction of progress.

The decoration on the second floor of Qixiang Pavilion is different from that on the first floor. Most of the cabinets placed outside on the first floor are filled with various spices.

On the second floor of the Qixiang Pavilion, there are many furnaces that can be seen everywhere.

Shen Huaibi continued to carry out her own search method, kicking each corner of the furnace with great joy.

Qi Mo, on the other hand, willingly became a sweeper and shabby householder, fumbling around in a pile of dark things with a wooden stick given to him by Shen Huaibi.

The two kicked and picked it up, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

Qi Mo found more than a dozen porcelain cups one after another in the pile of black medicinal residues, all of which were living Gu worms without exception.

In order to keep them from harming others, Shen Huaibi staged many new ways of playing "charcoal-roasted Gu worms" and "fire-burned Gu worms". Seeing Qi Mo frowned, wishing to escape from Qixiang in the next second. Pavilion, stay away from such a freak as Shen Huaibi.

"I don't seem to have seen? I saw that there is a furnace. All the Gu worms found have been cleaned up by you." Qi Mo leaned down/body, and checked the surrounding area. Are there any Gu worm jars that he found? After that, he straightened up again, and said to Shen Huaibi, "It's really gone."

Shen Huaibi nodded, with a calm expression: "Then go back, the mother Gu needs to parasitize on living people to work? So the mother Gu must not be here? I guess, it is in Xuzhou City?"

They went downstairs along the same path, and walked through the promenade filled with fluorescent light.

Qi Mo seemed to have a feeling in his heart. Looking back, he glanced at the Qixiang Pavilion, which was submerged in the halo. The pavilion with carved railings and paintings started from the bottom, and suddenly began to collapse——

Shen Huaibi heard the noise and turned around to look at it too.

In just a few moments, the famous treasure house, Qixiang Pavilion, was completely destroyed and turned into a cloud of smoke and dust.

Qi Mo and Shen Huaibi looked at each other for a moment, relatively speechless.

"There will be no one here, right?" Qi Mo was a little scared, cold sweat slipped from his forehead, fell on the dark sleeves, and quickly disappeared.

"It's not a person, it's an institution."

Shen Huaibi also stared at the ruins, and said in a daze: "Lotus Gu, Qixiang Pavilion... one is the world's notorious Plague Gu, and the other is the famous Treasure Building, these two things are actually converging today. Are you a coincidence?"

They came out of that small hut and hurried to Xuzhou Taishou's mansion.

Xuzhou Sima had already informed the prefect when they left. There were a few guards standing outside. Seeing them coming, they cleverly sent a message inside.

They thought that the Xuzhou prefect would show up this time, so they waited for a while, only to see that the Xuzhou Sima came out to welcome him.

He didn't know if it was Qi Mo's illusion or what, but he always felt that Xuzhou Sima's eyes were a little flickering, as if he was deliberately avoiding him.

"Your Highness, General... We? The prefect suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and it was inconvenient to welcome the two distinguished guests, so I sent my servant to ask Your Highness and the general to rest for a while."

Shen Huaibi raised his eyebrows, as if surprised, he said: "What's wrong with the prefect? ​​But the body? Unwell? If you are sick, remember to seek medical treatment in time."

Xuzhou Sima wiped his sweat with his blue sleeve, and did not respond to Shen Huaibi's words of concern whether it was provocative or unintentional, so he bent down and cupped his hands with a lost smile and said, "Please, Your Highness and General."

The mansion of the prefect of Xuzhou was allocated by the imperial court, and the decoration is quite satisfactory. Although it is also a pavilion, it is full of everything, but it is not like some high-ranking officials. "The word is written on the face.

The prefect of Xuzhou led them to their residence. Qi Mo saw that there was only one room.

Before Qi Mo could speak, Xuzhou Sima laughed and said, "Your Highness, General, I'm really sorry. We, the prefect, have come quickly to keep the poor and guard the way. The decoration in the mansion is really poor, and there are only a few maidservants. So, I can only pack up a clean house for the two of you to live in..."

Qi Mo thought, this Xuzhou Sima really knows how to be a man. He was obviously coaxed by the prefect to deal with the difficult two of them. Xuzhou Sima was able to solve the two of them, and he was able to save some money for his master. , can be said to be very loyal and reliable.

He gritted his teeth, as if he had made some important decision, ??: "Master Taishou?? After that, if His Highness and the general are not satisfied, he will go to the inn outside to book a room..."

Shen Huaibi had already made up his mind, and there was some slight sarcasm in his words: "No need, His Highness the Eleventh and I have never been coddled people, and we have to trouble the prefect and Sima to make arrangements."

Xuzhou Sima was powerless to fight, so he had to retreat in a hurry.

"This Xuzhou prefect really knows how to pretend. He wants to pretend to be a nice guy, but at the same time wants us to hide here." Qi Mo was a little bit aggrieved, but it seemed that Shen Huaibi had no waves, and half of the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Shen Huaibi picked up the teacup, took a sip of herbal tea, and said calmly: "You are wrong, Eleven, you see? There are so many people guarding us? Where is it next to the house? Why are there only a few maids serving him? the tragedy of

"?!"

Qi Mo fell silent for a moment, not daring to say anything, but looked vigilantly outside the house.

"I think he just wanted to put us under house arrest. Just now he wanted to find an inn for us, just to make it sound nice." Shen Huaibi told the truth, but his expression was calm, as if nothing had happened. Leisurely drank tea: "The prefect of Xuzhou, at this time, is in poor health and cannot see us? The two of you; on the other side, they have a tough style and sent people to watch us day and night. Everyone in Dongdaying was blocked by... Outside the city, you can't get in for a while. I guess he just saw this, so he dared to put us under house arrest. Believe it or not, if you go outside the door later and ask for something , They will give it to you, but if you dare to say a word and want to go out, they will definitely reject you."

Qi Mo didn't believe this evil, and started to check around the house? Is there any other way to go out? Maybe he was born lucky, but Qi Mo found it again? A locked window.

He was reluctant to take apart the wire butterfly given by Shen Huaibi, so he had to remove the wire handle of the teapot and twist it in the keyhole, but he couldn't open it.

Shen Huaibi: "Go and ask for some oil, it won't open without lubrication."

Qi Mo nodded as he said, and opened the door carelessly, and saw a little maid whose face was flushed for some reason.

"I……"

Before Qi Mo could speak, the strange maid interrupted in a hurry: "Your Highness, we have a special powder for lubricating in our mansion... It will be uncomfortable if you use it..."

?? Well, she ran away in a hurry.

Qi Mo turned his head in confusion, and saw Shen Huaibi leaning against the door frame with a teacup in his hand, looking at him blankly, half of the tea in his hand had already been poured, and the tea was dripping on the door frame .

Qi Mo: ...Why are these two so strange?Are they all bewitched? !
