[Old Nine Gates] Homecoming

Waking up early the next morning, when Zhang Qishan opened the door, he saw Yu Manli waiting at the door, still wearing simple sportswear, with her hair loose.For the first time, she didn't tie her hair up.Zhang Qishan couldn't help noticing this, and then saw a faint red mark behind her hair, probably accidentally caught it when she twisted her hand to break her shoulder.

There is also a bruise on the forehead.

Hey, too ignorant.

Zhang Qishan also felt guilty for the first time.

"Are you still in pain?" Yu Manli asked first.

Zhang Qishan began to feel distressed, and wanted to pull her hair back to take a good look. After what happened last night, it is not good to touch her again: "I will let the fortune teller take you to the hospital to have a look, you are not familiar with the place."

Yu Manli was half disappointed and half joking: "I thought Buddha would say to accompany me."

Zhang Qishan said seriously: "If you want me to accompany you, then I will accompany you."

"Forget it." Yu Manli smiled with downcast eyes, "The case has finally made progress. Of course, the investigation and the Nine Gates are the most important. I also want to make some preparations for the next fight. You don't have to fight with Ba Ye Say, I'll go by myself."

Zhang Qishan saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he stood still.

Yu Manli hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "Lord Buddha, what happened last night?"

Zhang Qishan moved his mouth, thinking it would be better not to say: "Nothing happened." In fact, he was also a little puzzled. Do something out of the ordinary, but he has experience, and he can also see that Manli is too skilled, not like someone who has no experience.

Yu Manli nodded: "I believe in Buddha." After speaking, she turned and left.

Zhang Qishan suddenly remembered the kiss last night - the dim light, Yu Manli's eyes were blurred, and both hands gently grasped the shirt around his waist, just like she said now that she believed in him, even if he lost consciousness, he could It felt like she still believed in him.

Zhang Qishan lost his mind and pulled Manli back into his arms: "You owe me a kiss, I can't be the only one who remembers it, you have to remember it too."

Say it and kiss it.

Yu Manli was taken aback, and wanted to break free, but Zhang Qishan held her shoulders tightly and couldn't move.Yu Manli had no choice but to close her eyes.

That kiss didn't land on the lips, but on the bruise on the forehead.

"Buddha... Buddha." The adjutant hurried downstairs, "I didn't see anything."

Zhang Qishan let go of his hand and brushed the hair from Yu Manli's shoulders: "There is still here, take a good look." Sure enough, it became a lot of red, and said, "It won't happen next time."

-

next time?

Zhang Rishan was driving, with a serious face on his handsome face: "Lord Buddha, should we add chopsticks to our family?"

"Why?" Zhang Qishan sat on the passenger seat without looking sideways, "If you don't have enough bowls and chopsticks, go to Aunt Lin. When will it be your turn to take care of this kind of thing? Watch the road carefully and don't get distracted."

Zhang Rishan swallowed and said, "Master, do you mean you want me to move out?" It's true that you shouldn't be a light bulb.

Zhang Qishan was even more confused: "Did the fortune teller Qi Tiezui tell you that he was going to live in and let you move out? Hmph, when did you trust him?"

Zhang Rishan sighed helplessly, so he had no choice but to say: "Buddha, what I mean is, is Yu Manli going to marry into Jiumen? The second ring was also given to her, yesterday and today..." Zhang Rishan is still a pure and good young man. Impure things are "unspeakable."

Zhang Qishan didn't expect Zhang Rishan to tell him this, so he couldn't help laughing: "It's a mess. It's far away from talking about marriage. As for you moving out, you should get married in two years, and I want you to stay here and you won't Ken."

The adjutant agreed deeply: "Don't let me live here, I don't know if I will come or not."

Zhang Qishan slapped the folder on his hand: "Drive well."

The adjutant immediately ordered: "Yes, Lord Buddha!"

-

Zhang Qishan walked for a long time, but Yu Manli was still in a daze.

Zhang Qishan's kiss overlapped with a certain moment deep in her memory, evening, military academy, embroidery...

A name slowly appeared in her mind - Mingtai.

It seems that there is such a person, the person she once cherished and loved very much, the person she felt that she could love with her life, also kissed her forehead...

-

The outline of Mingtai seemed to be gradually becoming clear in her mind. Suddenly, a "hum" bell sounded in Manli's ears. ancient tomb.

It's a pity that the rope was too short. Manli wanted to retract the rope and start over again, but her whole body was drawn into endless darkness.

However, when she opened her eyes, it was not the coffin she was in when she woke up, but a theater.On the stage, a man in Tsing Yi was singing The Romance of the West Chamber, while she was sitting in a cubicle in a corner.There was a pot of tea on the table. The tea seemed to be freshly brewed, and the leaves of Tieguanyin hadn't fully unfolded.

Yu Manli opened the curtain and looked outside. It was a place she had never been to before, but it felt inexplicably familiar.

But she didn't dare to think deeply, if she remembered something again, she might be taken into the ancient tomb again.Now she has a responsibility and can't add more troubles.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Yu Manli quickly straightened her clothes and was about to leave first, then she found a place to call Zhang Qishan.She had to go back quickly, otherwise she might not be able to make it to the black corpse coffin formation on the fifteenth day of the next month.Then she had to find out where she was, otherwise it would be useless to call Zhang Qishan.

However, the most important thing is to change the rather inconvenient and eye-catching slippers on the feet.If this place is far away from Changsha, it is not a wise choice to wear slippers, as the movement will be hindered and the attack power will be weakened.

Feeling that she still has some money she earned from odd jobs before, she decided to go out and find a small shop first.

Just as he was about to open the door to go out, a person opened the door first.Seeing the person coming, both of them were taken aback, but Huo Xian came to his senses first: "Miss Yu, it's a coincidence that you also come here to listen to the opera? But I reserved this room a long time ago, if you also want to listen, why don't you join us?" Double is fine."

Yu Manli could tell that Huo Xian was not hostile, and that she was someone she knew. Knowing that she was probably still in Changsha City, she was relieved: "Miss Huo, you're welcome, just call me Manli. I probably went to the wrong room, but It is also a coincidence to meet here, it is better to meet by chance than to invite each other, so let's listen together."

The two sat down, and the strings of the yueqin outside were plucked, and the tune gradually rose up.

Huo Xian poured a cup of tea and said leisurely: "Manli, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not."

Manli listened to "Mourning Xiaoxiang" on the stage, and she fell in love: "Just ask."

Huo Xian picked up the teacup: "I heard that Manli has my Huo family's plum blossom nails in her hand?"

The drumbeat became more intense, and Yu Manli immediately became vigilant: "The Buddha also mentioned this to me. If this is really something lost by your Huo family, I will definitely return it to Zhao in the future and return it in full. But Miss Huo went to the Buddha yesterday. It is probably unreasonable to say that this thing is not lost by the Huo family, and let me return it now."

Huo Xian also poured a cup of tea for Yu Manli: "Manli, don't be nervous, I don't mean to ask you to pay it back."

"What does Miss Huo mean?"

"The reason why the plum blossom nail is called plum blossom is not only because of its shape, but also because of its meaning of arrogance and deception. Those who use this nail, please be careful not to be accidentally injured by it. Also," Huo Xingdu said. Dun, "Return the jade to Zhao and return it in full, do you think you can do it?"

There was something in Huo Xian's words, and Yu Manli knew what it was.The golden nail must be nailed into the corpse forever. If you want to remove the bloody white jade from the black corpse, it is impossible to pull out the golden nail again.She really didn't think carefully just now.

The outside play was over, and the sound of the Yueqin gradually stopped, Yu Manli stood up: "Thank you Miss Huo for your hospitality, let's stop here for today."

Huo Xian also said: "Sooner or later we will meet again."

Yu Manli nodded to Huo Xian, opened the door and went out.When the door was closed, Huo Xian took down a silver bracelet engraved with dark patterns of plum blossoms from his wrist, and a very thin silver thread appeared on it, which was caught in the crack of the door.Huo Xian flicked it lightly, and the silver thread vibrated immediately, and then disappeared again.

-

Yu Manli felt a sudden shock on her wrist, and when she looked up, there was only the second ring ring given by the Buddha.

Could it be that the second ring also has spirituality?Everything in the nine schools is evil.Manli shook her hand.Unexpectedly, after this flick, he discovered that there was a very thin wound under the second ring, the blood had solidified, and a lot of it was still stained on the second ring.

But since she didn't feel any pain, and she didn't bleed anymore, Yu Manli didn't care, and went to the front to find the public phone.After walking a few steps, I heard a series of barking dogs, which seemed to be barking at her, but I looked around and couldn't find where the dog was.

I had no choice but to let it go.

Coming out of Taiping, there is a small shop opposite, with a telephone at the door.Yu Manli walked over, picked up the phone, and was about to press the button, when she suddenly felt something was wrong—this was the first time she made a call after waking up, but she remembered that the phone button was not like this, she used the forwarding method to make calls. .

-

Not far away, on the other side of Taipingli, Old Dog Wu was wearing a dusty dress and patted the head of a big dog: "Heizi, what did you see? Why are you barking so fiercely? Beauty? Hmph, don't be shy, I know Your kid loves to see beautiful women."

Heizi snorted twice in displeasure, gave Old Dog Wu a disdainful look, and then continued to bark at the other end of the alley.

After a while, a stall selling cooked food came from the alley in the middle of Taipingli with a small cart, selling smoked sausage and bacon.Old Dog Wu also snorted twice in displeasure: "I really don't pursue it." While burying it, he bought a bag of bacon and fed it to Heizi: "I'll see Huo Xiangu later, don't embarrass me like this!"

Heizi's mouth was stuffed with meat, and he couldn't refute it, so he could only whine twice, which meant that it sounded like——Anyway, there is meat, you have the final say.
