Chapter 22: Really mean, important props: Dragon and Phoenix bracelet

Although it would be troublesome to do, after the man who gave the order finished speaking, Qiuyu still quickly took Qiuyu to start the operation separately. One person stayed here to pass the message over a thousand miles, and the other went to the west of the city. However, in terms of the division of labor, Qiuyu of course took the majority of the work on his own shoulders, and the minor part naturally went to Qiuyu.

After telling Qiuyu for the fifth time, she finally pushed Qiuyu's shoulder impatiently and grumbled unhappily.

"I'm not a fool. It's just a secret message and a child. Is it worth you to worry about it for so long? Go quickly. Don't waste time. Come back early."

After saying this, he looked at Qiu Yu with an unhappy face.

Qiuyu was still worried when she saw her like this. Just as she was about to hold her hand and say something, she heard a voice coming from behind Qiuyu.

"What are you doing?"

Wen Baixu's doubtful voice gently floated into Qiuyu and Qiuyu's ears. The two held each other's hands and looked behind. Qiuyu looked at Wen Baixu and moved her lips hesitantly. She didn't know how much Wen Baixu had heard just now, but if Wen Baixu really begged her to take him out, she...

"Are you going out? Sister Qiuyu?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Baixu took a few quick steps, rubbed his hands together, exhaled from his mouth, and came to the two of them.

"Why don't you wear more clothes? Your hands are red."

Qiuyu saw his red hands and hurriedly wanted to take off her coat and put it on him. Wen Baixu waved his hands and stamped his feet.

"Sister Qiuyu, I'm not cold. I'm a man, so this little bit of cold is nothing. Besides, I'm just taking a walk outside and will be back soon. No need..."

As he spoke, he held down Qiu Yu's hand that was untying her cloak, and looked at her seriously.

Qiuyu nodded and glanced at Qiuyu before taking his hand and rubbing it. Then he solemnly told him and Qiuyu:

"I know I've said this many times, but I still have to say it again: There are a lot of people here, it's not like the inn we stayed in, so be careful what you say and do. I'm going to go out for a while. Qiuyu, when you're done, stay in the yard with Axu, don't walk around, and wait until I come back if you have anything to say."

"Sister, do you want to go out?"

Qiuyu nodded, and at the same time, she was anxiously waiting for something she had prepared for.

But for a long time, what she wanted to hear did not appear. Qiu Yu was a little unbelievable for a moment and looked at Wen Baixu.

Wen Baixu kept rubbing his hands and looking at the sky. Suddenly, he felt Qiu Yu's gaze and turned to look at her. "Sister, what's wrong?"

Qiu Yu then looked away, shook her head, and said softly, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you if there is any food you want me to bring back."

Wen Baixu shook his head and said that he didn't need to bring anything, but hoped that she would be careful and come back soon.

Qiuyu nodded, turned around and walked out of the yard.

Looking at Qiuyu's back, Wen Baixu was about to take a step when he felt a hand grabbing him. He turned around and saw Qiuyu grabbing his left arm and looking at him with a puzzled look.

"What are you doing? Why are you pulling me? Don't you have something to do? Why don't you go?"

Qiuyu narrowed her eyes and made a clicking sound. She walked over to him, patted his shoulder, and asked, "What about you? Sister told us not to run around. Where are you going?"

"I..." Wen Baixu was speechless and scratched his head awkwardly, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"I...I'm going to appreciate...the plum blossoms in the garden and the fish in the pond. Yes...I'm just going to..."

Before I could finish my words, I saw the person next to me pacing in front of me, looking at me again and again, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Wen Baixu looked at her and didn't know what to say to her, so he pushed her away and rubbed his hands and muttered

"If you don't believe me, you'll find out when you come to the garden later."

As he spoke, he walked out of the yard without paying attention to Qiuyu's inquiring gaze.

Qiuyu stared at his back until he disappeared completely, then returned to the house, picked up her things, found a secret corner, burned them, made a gesture with her hand, and silently chanted something in her heart...

In the snow, a thin figure was hunched over. To outsiders, he looked like a sneaky person looking for something. If it wasn't daytime and there weren't many people there, they would have really arrested him.

The crunching sound of footsteps on the snow was not loud but not small either. A hunched figure slowly moved towards the rockery in the garden that day. If you were closer to him, you might even hear what he was mumbling.

"Hey, Mianmian, tell me, can I find it?"

[Host, based on the calculation of big data, the probability of you finding it is 0.1%]

Wen Baixu was so frightened when he heard this that he froze in his place. "What? What did you say?"

[Host, you are from Henan, do you need me to switch dialect?]

A hissing sound of inhalation came out of Wen Baixu's mouth, and he stamped his feet, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. After a long while, he uttered "No, thank you."

[Oh, well, this system doesn’t know how to do that anyway]

"you....."

Wen Baixu looked as if he had eaten stinky dog ​​shit. He took several deep breaths, rubbed his hands, and calmed down his emotions. Only then did he calm down his desire to tear it apart with his bare hands.

"OK...but I have detailed information, I think I might be able to...No, I will definitely find it."

[Oh! That’s fine. I’ll wait and see.]

"Okay, anyway, my informant has some information to give me, hum~"

He raised his chin proudly, as if showing it to someone.

【Host.....】

Suddenly, the sound of shovels digging the soil was heard. Wen Baixu's eyes changed. He slowly raised his head, tilted his face to look behind the rockery, stood on tiptoe, and trotted over little by little.

"How could she come out for no reason in the middle of winter?"

"Who knows? It's really unlucky."

"Hey, I heard..." The voice gradually lowered, but something was still faintly heard, "I... heard... Wang Er said... it seemed that it was caused by... lingering resentment, and... it was related to that..."

"What are you talking about? Can you add me?"

The boy walked behind them with a smile and suddenly whispered to them

The people who were talking turned stiffly upon hearing this and looked at the young man behind them. They saw that he was dressed differently from them. Even the dumbest people knew that he was not a servant of the Marquis' Mansion, but...

The boy walked up slowly, picked up an extra shovel on the ground, walked up to them, and imitated them, sticking the shovel into the snow at once, but when he tried to pull it out, he couldn't, so he could only try hard...

The others looked at each other in bewilderment, and one of them, who looked like the person in charge, came over and said in a gentle voice, "Oh, young master, you are embarrassing us. We servants can do this kind of work, so we won't bother you. Look at your hands, they are red. If the master sees this, we servants will be in trouble."

Wen Baixu's eyes rolled when he heard that, and he quickly pretended to let go of her hand, saying politely: "Thank you for your hard work, and it's also my fault that I'm weak and can't even help you..."

The others nodded and bowed, but said nothing.

"So...what do you mean by 'bad luck' and 'lingering resentment'? Can you tell me about it?"

As he spoke, he raised his big eyes and looked at them with an inquiring look.

"this....."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one wanted to say anything.

Seeing that they wanted to say something but didn't dare to, Wen Baixu couldn't ask anything, so he just sighed as if he felt sorry.

"Alas~ What a pity..."

"Young man, what's wrong?" The person who just spoke looked towards Wen Baixu.

Wen Baixu shook his head awkwardly and said, "No, I just thought that since you guys don't want to talk about it, I'd better put away my curiosity. Let's go. It's a pity that I wanted to ask the master to give each of you a talisman. Forget it."

He waved his hand and turned to leave.

There was a chirping sound behind him, and the boy who was walking forward slowly slowed down his pace, waiting for them to stop him.

"Hey, little... little sir, wait a minute."

The person just now anxiously called out to the boy who was about to leave, and Wen Baixu was waiting for this. He slowly turned around, blinking his big eyes and looking at the man in confusion.

"Little...Little Sir, are you telling the truth?"

I don't know if the person who was speaking was cold or didn't believe it, his words were trembling.

"You...are you questioning me or my master? My master is so powerful that even Lord Chongbo has to beg him." He raised his thumb and boasted.

The person who was speaking shook his head and stammered, and after a long while he finally uttered a few words, "Young Master, it's not that we don't want to say it, it's that we don't know. We low-level servants are not qualified to know about this kind of thing."

Wen Baixu glanced at him, and a mechanical voice appeared in his head.

[Host, he did not lie]

Wen Baixu nodded as if he understood, but suddenly he felt a trace of drifting eyes looking towards him. He raised his head and looked over there, only to see a shorter servant. Although his head was lowered, his eyes seemed to want to say something, but he seemed to be afraid of someone present.

Wen Baixu took a deep look, nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the man speak again, "Young...Mr., then our..."

Wen Baixu knew what he was saying without turning around, and seeing the fiery gaze in his eyes, the boy nodded.

"Of course I will keep my promise, but you also know that my master is often called by your Lord. When my master is free, I will ask him to draw a few lines. There is no rush for this."

He walked a few steps quickly, out of their sight, and walked under a tree.

Watching them chattering for a few words, they started working again. Wen Baixu, who was hiding behind a tree, rubbed his hands because he was cold, exhaled, and stamped his feet a few times.

[Host, why didn't you ask that person just now? Maybe...]

"It's impossible to tell. If someone is present, he won't tell."

Wen Baixu looked at the group of people with sharp eyes. It was not until half a quarter of an hour later that they packed up their things and walked towards where he was in twos and threes.

Wen Baixu hid back when he saw this. After the first few people left, when the last person was about to pass by, he popped his head out from behind the tree and whistled at him, signaling him to come over...

After a moment, the two people under the tree became one. The boy rubbed his chin, looked at the rockery not far away, and asked in his mind:

"Do you think what he said is true?"

[I don't know, but the system didn't detect any signs that he was lying]

"I know the first part of what he said, but the figure at midnight, the howling ghosts, and the red-eyed crow are interesting."

[It's interesting, but host, don't you still not know where 'he' is? ]

"It's not that I don't know. I have some clues. Now I want to verify it."

Wen Baixu clapped his hands and walked into the depths of the rockery, but he still didn't find anything. At this time, a voice sounded

"What are you doing here? Aren't you admiring the plum blossoms? Admiring the plum blossoms on the rockery?"

Wen Baixu looked back and saw that the owner of the voice was Qiuyu. He didn't say anything, but turned his head and continued to look for something.

Qiuyu didn't want to come at first, but when she thought of his identity and the instructions of her sister and master, she had to go to the garden to take him back. But as soon as she got there, she saw a familiar figure crawling into the rockery.

"Did you hear me? You are really rude." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the boy. The boy happened to step on a slippery place, and his body was unstable and fell backwards, sitting on the ground.

"Hey~ I..."

The young man sat on the ground and cried out in pain. Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and saw a circular mark on the stone wall in front of him on the left.

Wen Baixu immediately got up, brushed off the snow on his butt, and leaned over to look.

Qiuyu didn't react for a moment, but when she saw him running there, she followed him and took a look.

I saw that the stone wall was different from the others. The patterns on it and its flat glossiness indicated that it was a secret door.

Qiuyu reached out her hand, felt around, and looked at Wen Baixu with a puzzled look.

Wen Baixu was extremely excited at the moment, and he kept saying in his mind:

"Look, I'll tell you, a little bit..."

[Uh, okay, host, you are awesome]

"Of course, who am I..."

At this moment, the boy was already immersed in the mood of showing off. If someone looked at him now, they would see a boy with a very long nose, shaking his legs constantly.

"Hey, it seems like we need a round object to open the door here. It's so strange, why are there dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it? Could it be..."

He stiffened his body and reached out to touch the circular groove. He kept comforting himself, as if he was denying a certain answer, until his hand touched a bulge. The boy's brain was like being blown up by thunder.

Qiuyu beside him kept saying something, but Wen Baixu could no longer hear any sound. Only one word echoed in his mind: "Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet"...

The people outside were still stroking the patterns on the rock wall, and behind this door, through the winding stairs, in a dark depth, a flash of red light flashed...
