Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Chapter 145 Night Chat

"Auntie Zhe, please sit down for a while. I'll make you some salt-baked chicken."

Zhe Gu sat in the pavilion, holding a cigarette in her hand, and said to Jingzhi with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your help!"

Jingzhi shook his head, picked up a chicken, smiled happily at Zhegu, and said with anticipation:

"Tell me more gossip about that Taoist priest later. I'm only halfway through listening!"

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway." Zhe Gu leaned back in enjoyment, kicked her feet, and the rocking chair began to creak and rock again.

Ah~ So this is the kind of life my senior brother lives. He is so happy!

She also wants a cat that can cook, chat with her, and make her happy!!!

Thinking of having a sweet and soft little cat to warm her bed at night, Zhe Gu happily raised an eyebrow at Lin Jiuyi, who was standing aside with a dark face, and said, "Brother, why don't I stay a few more days? I don't know if we can get along well~"

Lin Jiu's back teeth were almost broken.

"You'll be back tomorrow morning. Don't you want to visit that temple anymore?!"

"Oh, it's just a few days, it's okay, don't be so stingy, I can pay your rent."

"no!"

Sugar Girl clasped her hands together and said, "I just missed you. How about..." She raised a finger, "Stay one more day?"

"...You must return to me tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

"Squeak!"

Zhe Gu leaned back hard and the rattan chair began to shake again.

She flicked the ash aside with her white and tender fingers, took another deep puff of the cigarette, and then muttered: "Stingy!" and blew the cigarette in Lin Jiu's direction.

Lin Jiu took a step back to avoid the smoke that was floating over, and a barely perceptible smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't tell her that Jingzhi hated the smell of cigarettes.

Lin Jiu carried the fish, which was almost dried and started to roll its eyes, and walked quickly past the childish junior sister who was still tripping him with her feet and walked into the kitchen.

……

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jingzhi plucking chicken feathers.

"Would you like me to come?" she asked, looking up.

"No, you're too busy."

He rolled up his sleeves, killed the fish, fried the fish, and added water, all in one go.

Lin Jiu moved very quickly. After a while, he covered the pot and walked towards Jingzhi.

She was afraid that chicken raised for too long would become too tough, so she picked chickens that had only been raised for a few months. The immature chickens had a lot of young feathers, and she plucked them for a long time, but they still weren't very clean.

"Ajiu, you've come just in time, please help..."

Looking at the big hand covering the back of her hand, Jingzhi's face turned slightly red, and she subconsciously raised her head to look outside the door.

Fortunately, there was no one outside the door.

"What are you doing?" she asked in a low voice.

Zhe Gu used to like Lin Jiu. Being too intimate with Lin Jiu in front of her would really hurt her feelings. She didn't want to lose a friend like this.

So Jingzhi began to struggle.

But his hands were like pliers, squeezing tighter and tighter, but he was very measured and didn't hurt her.

She took another furtive look outside, and after making sure no one was around, she stretched her neck and kissed him, "Okay, let me go, I'm waiting to eat."

Lin Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the back of her hand immersed in the water. He felt a little blocked in his heart, "You are not allowed to sleep with her at night. You have to come back."

Jingzhi paused plucking the chicken feathers with her fingers, looked up at his tightly pursed lips, then quickly lowered her eyes to hide the smile in them.

She pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"But I just promised her, it's not good to go back on my word."

Lin Jiu choked slightly.

"Besides, she saved my life last time."

Lin Jiuwei choked.

"You made me angry that day, and she comforted me and gave me a big bag of candy."

Lin Jiuning choked.

"Just now in town, didn't you ask her to take care of me? I have to return the favor."

Lin Jiu choked.

"Also, she has a really good personality and isn't shy at all. I really like her."

Lin Jiu couldn't choke anymore.

"That's not necessary...sleeping with her. There are plenty of empty rooms in the charity cemetery. I can ask Wencai to clean one out for her to stay in."

Jingzhi: "She finally came here, it's not nice to ask her about serious matters at the dinner table. Sisters always talk before going to bed. I'll ask her if she has any clues then."

Seeing Lin Jiu still frowning and hesitant, she lowered her voice and said, "It's just one night. She's a girl. It's okay."

Lin Jiu asked back: "How would you feel if I slept with Qiu Sheng?"

Jingzhi: "...Master, the love between master and disciple is deep?"

"..."

"Okay." Jingzhi pecked his cheek again, then looked into his eyes tenderly and asked:

"Do you want to marry me soon?"

Lin Jiu might be a Virgo in this life, and he was confused again.

If I say I do, it would be too unreserved. If I say I don’t, she will definitely be sad.

However, the desire was so strong that after hesitating for only a second, he nodded with a red face.

The moment she saw him nod, Jingzhi's heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and she finally felt shy for the first time in a long time.

The two blushing people looked at each other. After a long while, Jingzhi put a wet finger on his shoulder and said, "Since you want to do this, shouldn't you find out the truth as soon as possible and catch the murderer?"

Lin Jiu pinched the finger on his shoulder and nodded absentmindedly, but his eyes were staring at the blush on her face with great concentration.

She seems to be rarely shy, and she looks pretty when she is shy.

"Anyway, I slept with her tonight," she said.

This time, Lin Jiu did not try to stop him. Instead, he turned into a maniac and stared at him without blinking.

Jingzhi couldn't work properly because of his stare, so she asked him angrily: "What are you doing here, helping me or watching me?"

"...I'll help you."

……

The two of them worked very quickly, but Lin Jiu seemed to have a passive personality. Once he felt that Jingzhi might be robbed, or was about to be in danger of being robbed, he became more and more clingy.

Lin Jiu did not sit at the main seat at the dinner table today. Instead, he squeezed onto a bench with Jingzhi so that he could take care of her and stop the clumsy Zhe Gu opposite him.

Zhe Gu didn't care. At this moment, she was shaking her legs, holding a cigarette in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, and she was as happy as a god.

"Brother, where did you pick up this kitten? I want one too!"

Lin Jiu glanced at her and secretly looked at Jingzhi's expression.

By the way, didn’t Jingzhi feel any displeasure about Zhegu smoking?

Jingzhi: A little bit, but since she is a guest, she can’t express it so directly.

And the way Zhe Gu smoked had an inexplicable, a certain feeling... she didn't know how to describe it, and it looked so strange that she couldn't take her eyes off it.

[Author's explanation: It's the aggression, the aggression of the Thirteenth Sister of Hongxing, big sister!!!]

Lin Jiu: Still watching?! My eyes are about to fall into the bowl.

He secretly pinched Jingzhi's thigh, his eyes becoming more resentful.

Zhe Gu looked at the eye contact between the two, raised her curved eyebrows, and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes.

She took a puff of the cigarette and then slowly exhaled the smoke, blowing most of it in the direction of Lin Jiu, taking the opportunity to confuse his vision. Then she winked at Jingzhi beside her, and playfully nudged the edge of Jingzhi's shoe with her foot under the table.

Jingzhi: She, she is so good!

Her face suddenly turned red, and the piece of flesh on her thigh that was twisted seemed to hurt even more, so Jingzhi quickly lowered her head to drink the soup, but her left hand reached under the table, held his angry fingers and patted them to comfort him.

After Wencai came to pick up the dishes, he sat far away and didn't dare to come over at all.

roll.

This word was clearly written in his master's eyes, and he didn't want to suffer any punishment.

By the way, why hasn’t his senior brother come back yet?

Could it be that his aunt invited him to stay for dinner?

……

Wencai waited until evening.

After washing up, Zhe Gu came to Jingzhi's previous room wearing loose clothes. As soon as she entered, she saw Jingzhi turned back to his original form.

Its hind legs were bent, its front legs were straight and together, it was squatting upright, looking at her with a pair of big watery eyes.

Sugarcane rubbed her hands excitedly, "Kitty, here I come!"

As soon as he stepped into the room, Lin Jiu followed him in.

The two looked at each other for a second.

Then they attacked at the same time, fighting while walking towards Jingzhi.

In the end, Lin Jiu was still better.

He quickly and gently picked up Jingzhi in his arms, walked to the table and sat down.

"Okay, you can talk now."

Zhe Gu rubbed her wrist which was hurt by the shock, and opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out.

But just by looking at his lip movements, you can tell that he is cursing very dirty.

However, she was still happy that Lin Jiu needed her help.

She walked to the table, picked up the teacup on the table and poured herself a glass of water. She stepped on the stool and leaned over with a proud smile:

"What do you want to know?"

"Bang!"

"Oh no, you're sneaking up on me!" The chair under her feet was instantly hooked away, and Zhe Gu almost fell headfirst onto the table.

Seeing Jingzhi looking at her with wide eyes, she pretended to be nonchalant and turned around to sit on the chair opposite Lin Jiu.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you."

Lin Jiu tapped his fingers on the table and said impatiently:

"Let's get down to business. I suspect someone is plotting against us..."

...explaining...

"Now that I think about it, the first time Old Master Ren fought us, he was entangled in the plumb line. He shouldn't have been able to break free so quickly. Moreover, the second time we fought him, his strength increased rapidly, almost leapfrogging. Even with Ren Fa's blood, it wouldn't have been that effective."

Jingzhi thought about the Guandao that was cut into a gap, and nodded, "Yes, except for his eyes, he can be said to be invulnerable to swords and guns."

The playful smile on Zhe Gu's face faded, and the cup of tea in her hand had already gone cold. After thinking for a while, she gave Lin Jiu a few words of advice, "The last time I encountered the Red and White Devils in the suburbs, the one I fought was a water ghost. It had just died not long ago, and its ghost power was not high, but it could use our Maoshan forbidden techniques. Don't you think it's strange?"

Lin Jiu: "Do you think... there's a traitor in Maoshan?"

Zhe Gu nodded and then shook her head, "Many of my fellow apprentices and even my uncles and uncles have gone down the mountain to recruit disciples, so there is a possibility that the forbidden technique will be leaked."

She twisted her fingers and hesitated for a long time before asking Lin Jiu:

"Should you tell your senior brother about this? He should be the one to take care of the Maoshan disciples who were killed using their sect's secret techniques."

Lin Jiu sighed deeply, "You know, he always looks down on people like us. It's useless to talk to him. Besides... he has his own things to do now."

How to deal with that illegitimate child and Tingting's matter will keep him busy for a while.

Lin Jiu gently touched Jingzhi's head twice, "Besides, once Senior Brother gets involved in this matter, the possibility of her being discovered will be even greater."

When this was mentioned, Zhe Gu also frowned.

"Brother, you want to marry her, right?"

Lin Jiu blushed, but nodded firmly.

She crossed her hands on the table and leaned over to look at Jingzhi. "It's not that marriage is forbidden in our sect, but we have to report to the Sect Master before we can get married. You should know that. Do you think she won't be discovered?"

Lin Jiu's expression suddenly changed, and then slowly became firm, "She is different from those monsters that would harm people. I believe that the leader will understand me."

Zhe Gu leaned back in her chair, her chest crossed. "The current headmaster won't do that, but three months from now, in January of next year, my eldest brother will take over the position of headmaster. Do you think he'll agree to your marriage if he finds out?"

Jingzhi's front paws instantly hooked onto Lin Jiu's sleeves, her eyes filled with anxiety and sorrow, "Jiu, what should I do? I, I don't want to leave you!"

Lin Jiu was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Dear, it must happen.

Now, they can only speed up the search for the murderer, as they don’t have much time left.

"Have those fellow Taoists who came to the Ren family today been behaving strangely recently?"

"Strange?" Zhe Gu said while holding her chin and thinking:

"Mao Shanming recruited two ghosts to help him cheat people out of money. Taoist Priest Qian always goes straight to Yihongyuan after performing rituals. And that scumbag surnamed Li got his disciple pregnant. Is this considered strange?"

Jingzhi: "..."

She really wanted to know how Zhe Gu knew that.

Perhaps because her gaze was too direct, Zhe Gu suddenly attacked her little head, rubbed it roughly, and then withdrew in anger under Lin Jiu's fierce gaze:

"Don't forget that my temple is the Queen Mother Temple. The people who come here are either aunts and uncles seeking marriage for their relatives, or men and women with various difficult and complicated illnesses. If everyone says a few words, I will know everything about the nearby villages and towns."

Seeing that she had gone off topic, Lin Jiu quickly raised his hand to stop her, "Think about what's related to us, and don't talk about other people's affairs anymore."

"About us? ...Oh!"

She slammed the table and said, "I thought of one!"

"what?"

Zhe Gu leaned forward mysteriously and whispered:

"The latest news is that the eldest brother's illegitimate child was not taken to another province to be adopted. He has been secretly raising the child in our provincial capital!

This time, perhaps because he was about to take office and no one could do anything to him, he dared to bring his illegitimate child back to Maoshan, but he still claimed to the public that he was his disciple.

"Brother, how bold do you think he is?" Zhe Gu asked again.

Lin Jiu's eyelids drooped slightly, and a hint of danger flashed in his eyes.

Zhe Gu curled her lips, but still said enthusiastically:

"He named his illegitimate son Shi Shaojian! Anyone with a brain would know that young man is related to him, right?"

Jingzhi nodded her little head, "That's right, otherwise Wencai might not be called Wencai, but Lin Shaoying."

Just as he finished speaking, the kitten was hit on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jingzhi held her head with her front paws and muttered aggrievedly:

"That's the truth."

Lin Jiu gave her an unpleasant look, pulled her paws off, rubbed her head, and asked Zhe Gu, "Is there any other news?"

All she knew were secrets between men and women, which were of no use.

"That's all I know. I'm not a professional intelligence officer."

Lin Jiu sighed, picked up Jingzhi and stood up to leave.
