The little heroine investigates a mysterious case
Chapter 198 The high and mighty prince finally realized that without money, he could not move forwar
Uncle Hui thought about it carefully.
"Of course it's there, but I forgot where I put it in the warehouse. I'll help you look for it now."
Ah Huibo felt somewhat resentful towards Ayiduo.
"I asked you to take it back several times, but you said no. I told you I wouldn't take the balance, but you still let me deal with it on my own. Luckily, I kept it for you."
Ayiduo lowered her head in shame.
"I was young and ignorant at that time. I'm sorry to have troubled you. Please take your time to look for it. I'm not in a hurry."
Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua walked to the counter and admired the various jewelry displayed there.
Gu Zhanghua saw a small silver comb.
The teeth of the comb are fine and even, and the handle is carved with a cluster of lifelike plum blossoms, shining with silver light.
Gu Zhanghua pointed at the silver comb and said to Zhao Xuan.
"This silver comb is exquisitely crafted, small and cute. It can be used to comb your hair or as a hairpin. It is both practical and beautiful."
Zhao Xuan looked at it curiously.
"It's like a work of art. It's a bit of a waste to use it to comb your hair."
Ayiduo saw the two people evaluating the silver comb and called the waiter over with a smile.
"Hey, show us this silver comb."
"Okay! Wait a moment."
The waiter put on a pair of clean white cotton gloves, took out the silver comb, placed it on a tray, and pushed the tray in front of the three people.
The guy introduced them to the three people with a smile.
"The silver comb is not only a beautiful ornament, but also very practical and contains profound cultural connotations."
Gu Zhanghua looked at the silver comb carefully and asked the waiter with interest.
"Tell us about its cultural connotations."
The guy immediately started selling his product fluently.
"This young man, combing your hair with a comb has a unique meaning. One comb goes all the way through, two combs go to the eyebrows, and three combs mean you'll have many children and grandchildren.
It not only represents lovesickness, but also symbolizes health and happiness, and carries the good wishes for smooth development and prosperity!
Compared with combs made of other materials, silver combs can easily remove dirt without staining the hair.
It relieves itching without causing any pain and brings you a sense of comfort. Whether you use it yourself or give it to this young lady, it is a good choice.”
Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered that the two of them went to the Tiandao League to negotiate with Hu Yiba, and she got up late on the day of the negotiation.
Gu Zhanghua was afraid of wasting time, so he asked her to sit on a chair and used his fingers as a comb to comb her hair.
She was only thinking about how to negotiate with Hu Yiba. Could it be that Gu Zhanghua was doing that to express his feelings for her? Was he expressing his love for her?
Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Zhanghua, who was also looking at her with a smile. He stretched out his palm and made a hair-combing gesture with his five fingers.
"Remember? I combed your hair."
Zhao Xuan glared at Gu Zhanghua in reproach.
"Such a deep scheming."
Gu Zhanghua tapped Zhao Xuan's forehead with his finger
"It's not that I'm scheming, it's that you're stupid and don't understand anything!"
Ayido looked at the intimate interaction between the two, and her heart felt both sour and sweet.
She and Xiaobao were once so loving, playing and laughing together.
Seeing that neither of them mentioned buying a comb, the clerk put the silver comb back on the counter in disappointment. It seemed that his business skills needed improvement.
At this time, Ahuibo came back with a jewelry box in his hand and put the jewelry box in Ayiduo's hand.
"See for yourself."
Ayiduo's hands were shaking a little. She gently opened the lid of the box and carefully took out a silver bracelet from it. The bracelet was engraved with her favorite magnolia pattern.
Ah Huibo sighed aside.
"The workmanship of this silver bracelet is still top-notch even now! Shen Xiaobao told you many times back then that he didn't have much money to buy you a gold bracelet, so this silver bracelet must be made with the best workmanship.
Look, both of your names are engraved on the inside of this bracelet."
Ayiduo looked at the inner circle of the bracelet, and the two small names "Xiaobao" and "Ayiduo" were clearly visible, with a heart-shaped pattern engraved between the two names.
Ayido couldn't control her tears. She returned the jewelry box to Ahuibo, holding the silver bracelet in her hands, and choked with sobs.
Uncle Ahui patted Ayiduo's shoulder gently.
"I still don't believe that Shen Xiaobao is a heartless man!
Things are unpredictable. He might be assigned to another place and unable to escape.
Or maybe something unexpected happened that you don’t know about, so he can’t come back to find you.”
Aido put the bracelet on her wrist with tears in her eyes.
"No matter if he comes back to see me or not, or when he comes back, I will live a good life with Guo'er."
Uncle Hui nodded with satisfaction.
"You're right to think so. You're still young and have a long life ahead of you."
Ayiduo followed Ahuibo to settle the balance.
Gu Zhanghua looked regretful and whispered to Zhao Xuan.
"This trip really made me realize what it means to be broke without money. I couldn't even afford to buy you a silver comb."
Zhao Xuan hugged Gu Zhanghua's waist and looked up at him with a smile.
"I appreciate your kindness. I will give you more opportunities to please me in the future."
After the three of them finished their work at the jewelry store, Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan went to buy candles and yellow paper before returning to Ayido's home together.
The three of them went to catch up on their sleep, and when they woke up, Hao Xiong and Xiao Yixian had already prepared dinner.
Hao Xiong finished his meal in a hurry and took the food to Guan Liushui's room.
Zhao Xuan thought of a key issue.
"I'm afraid it won't work if Hao Xiong stays to take care of Xiao Ling.
After we identify Shen Xiaobao's remains tonight, we have to rebury their remains overnight. We really can't do this without Hao Xiong."
Gu Zhanghua said quickly.
"Let Hao Xiong go with you. I'll stay and take care of Brother Shui."
Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Zhanghua with suspicion.
"You have always been served by others. Do you know how to take care of others?"
Gu Zhanghua lowered his head and ate.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Little Doctor Fairy and Sister Ayiduo must go, and Hao Xiong must go too.
It's just you and me, how about you stay and take care of Brother Shui?"
Zhao Xuan curled her lips.
"I don't mind the distinction between men and women, I'm just worried that Xiaoling will feel embarrassed.
What if you need to pee or poop but are too embarrassed to tell me and you can’t hold it in any longer?
The Little Medical Fairy chuckled.
"Can a living person be killed by holding his urine? I'm afraid he'll pee and poop all over the bed, causing trouble for Sister Ayiduo."
Ayiduo also laughed.
"I'm not afraid of trouble. At worst, I can just throw away all the bedding."
Gu Zhanghua looked at Zhao Xuan helplessly, then at Xiao Yixiang.
"Can you two sisters please be more polite? Brother Shui is still lying in bed and can't take care of himself. It's not nice for you to make sarcastic remarks about him, right?"
Zhao Xuan rolled her eyes at Gu Zhanghua.
"I only tease my brothers, I don't even bother to talk to outsiders."
The Little Medical Fairy smiled faintly.
"Xiao Wu, you still don't understand Xuan'er. The more nervous she is, the more she likes to joke around to lighten the mood. She may seem indifferent, but she's actually very worried about Xiao Ling."
Gu Zhanghua smiled knowingly.
"I'll stay here tonight to take care of Brother Shui's food, drink, and toilet needs. You guys go and do your own things."
The other three people, together with Aida, took advantage of the night and quietly came to the foot of the small hill near the garrison camp.
Zhao Xuan sneaked into the camp again and knocked out the garrison officers and soldiers. When she came back, she saw Aida kneeling in front of a skeleton, and the dim light of the lantern illuminated Aida's face.
Zhao Xuan found that Ayiduo did not cry this time, but just stared at the skeleton in a daze.
The Little Medical Fairy whispered to Zhao Xuan.
"This skeleton is Shen Xiaobao."
Zhao Xuan nodded slightly.
Ayiduo stood up, took off the backpack on her back, took out candles, yellow paper, and a pot of wine.
She knew she couldn't make too much noise or leave too many traces.
Everyone followed Ayiduo, and after a simple worship, Ayiduo put the remaining candles and yellow paper into the backpack, and poured wine on the ground in front of the corpse.
Ayido looked at Hao Xiong.
"Please, bury them again and restore them to their original state."
Ayiduo was very calm at this time, and she spoke softly to Zhao Xuan and Xiao Yixiang.
"If you can redress their grievances one day, that would be great. If not, don't force yourself. Staying alive is the most important thing!
If they are still alive, they will definitely not blame you. You are strangers to us, but you have done so much for us. On behalf of Xiaobao and his brothers, thank you!"
As Aiduo spoke, she suddenly knelt in front of the two men and kowtowed three times.
Zhao Xuan hurriedly helped Aiduo up.
She really wanted to tell Ayiduo that she would definitely help her get revenge and give justice to those soldiers who died tragically.
But facing the powerful enemy behind the scenes that cannot be touched or seen, she can only tell Ayiduo.
“We will do our best!”
