Dongzi looked at Xiaoju's innocent smile. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He grabbed Xiaoju's wrist and asked, "Who are you?"
Xiaoju looked at Dongzi with a smile: "Who am I? Of course I am Xiaoju!"
"What do you mean by what you just said? Did Brother Lu get together with Chen Shanshan because he was poisoned?" Dongzi asked again.
"I thought you had become smarter, but I didn't expect you to be surprisingly stupid!"
Xiaoju smiled and waved her hand gently, and Dongzi's hand that held her wrist tightly loosened involuntarily.
"I really want to go back to the guest room. I have to go get some beauty sleep!" Xiao Ju said and ducked behind the screen.
Dongzi lowered his head and looked at his hand blankly, frowning and wondering why he let go of Xiaoju's hand obediently when Xiaoju didn't seem to do anything.
"Also, stop running around relying on your little skills. Some things cannot be solved by you alone. You are lucky to meet me. If you meet Mother Chen, you will have nine lives.
I can't save it!" Xiaoju suddenly poked her head out from behind the screen and looked at Dongzi and said.
Dongzi was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, Xiaoju's had already gone.
something?
What are these things Xiaoju is talking about? Are they referring to Lu Xiaohong's things?
If Xiaoju is talking about Lu Xiaohong, what does her last sentence mean?
Xiaoju said that Dongzi alone can't solve it. Does this mean that he is not only trying to find out about Lu Xiaohong's matter, but also others?
But in this large Chen family, apart from Lian Ruowei and her parents, there was only the old woman pretending to be an old lady, plus the servants Chen Ma and Xiao Ju, and no one else was seen.#
@$&
Even the Celestial Masters from the Celestial Master's Mansion whom I saw on the day I arrived have not appeared again in the past few days.
By the way, there is another one, the young master Zhao Ke, but he seems to be here just to pursue Lian Ruowei and should have nothing to do with the things here.
The more Dongzi thought about it, the more he couldn't understand it. However, the Chen Mansion, which only had a few people, seemed to be hiding layers of huge secrets. The more you explored, the muddy the water became.
He took out his cell phone and checked the time, but it had just arrived at eight o'clock, and even Ruowei didn't know when he would be back.
How about taking a walk around the backyard? Maybe you can find something?%&(&
Dongzi thought, raised her feet and walked behind the screen.
As soon as I took a step out, there was a slight muffled sound from the front yard, like the sound of something heavy falling on the soil in the garden.
"Is there really a thief?"
Dongzi was stunned. It was just after eight o'clock and the lights were still on in the room. How could the thief be so bold?
While thinking about it, he turned around and looked towards the front yard.
The sky was overcast, there was no moon in the sky, and it was pitch black in the front yard.
Fortunately, Dongzi could see in the night. After standing on the corridor and looking around, she saw someone sitting vaguely on the wall to the west of the door. He was holding an iron chain in his hand. The other end of the chain was heavy.
fell into the flowers.
A faint earth-yellow aura lingered around that person.
He is also a cultivator of Qi. Judging from the Qi cultivation level, he should be around the third level of the Earth Rank.
No wonder his master Hao Jingde told him that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Kyoto. Maybe just picking someone out is not an ordinary person. He didn't expect that even a thief would be a monastic.
Under the cover of flowers and plants, I couldn't see what the bottom of the iron chain was, but judging from the droop of the iron chain, it should be an iron ball.
The muffled response just now should be the sound made by the iron ball falling on the ground.
It seems that a repeat offender or an acquaintance committed the crime, and he knew that there were poisonous insects hidden in the front flower garden in the yard.
The man didn't seem to notice Dongzi who was standing in the corridor looking at him. He just looked down at the flower garden, pulled up the iron chain in his hand and then lowered it.
When the iron chain was pulled out of the flowers and grass, there was a flash of arc-shaped silver light. Dongzi could see clearly that the bottom of the chain was indeed a silver ball, a ball full of spikes.
When the silver ball sank, it occasionally made a soft "pop" sound. It must have stung the venomous snakes and insects in the flower bed.
It's been two or three days, and I haven't even touched the edge of Lu Xiaohong. The more I explored, the more I realized that the water in Chen's house was bottomless, which made me a little restless. In addition, I was really bored at the moment, so Dongzi decided to take care of it.
for this trivial matter.
It would also be good to catch the thief and give him a good beating to vent his anger.
Dongzi cheered up a little, and tried not to make any footsteps as she slowly approached the flower bed.
Probably because he had sucked the spiritual energy from the big white bell snake before, when Dongzi Cat bent his waist and stepped into the flower garden, the venomous insects and snakes in the flowers and grass made a soft "rustle" sound as they fled.
The man on the wall heard the noise and looked up in the direction of Dongzi.
The man was wearing a black night jacket, with the hood of the jacket covering his head, and a huge black mask that covered most of his face. No facial features could be seen, only a pair of bright eyes were exposed.
The two looked at each other, and the man seemed to not understand why Dongzi was able to stand in the flower garden. He stared at Dongzi for a few seconds, and then started to pull the chain on his hand.
After pulling Yin Qiu up, the man arched his body and tried to jump off the courtyard wall to escape.
"You're a thief and you still want to leave? It's not that easy!"
Dongzi quickly regained his strength, stopped crouching, straightened up and rushed towards the person.
By the time Dongzi chased him to the courtyard wall, the man had already jumped off the courtyard wall.
But of course the two-meter-high courtyard wall couldn't stop Dongzi. He jumped up, pulled the top of the courtyard wall, raised his feet and rode on the courtyard wall.
The man had already run more than ten meters away, looking back while running.
Dongzi sneered, jumped off the courtyard wall, and chased after the man.
What Dongzi didn't expect was that the man's cultivation was obviously not as high as his, and he ran faster and faster. When he turned around, he caught up with him and picked up the iron chain with the silver ball hanging on it to speed up.
Dongzi was so angry that he chased after her, but the two of them remained stuck at a distance of more than ten meters.
The two ran one after the other, and until the end, Dongzi had even forgotten how long he had been running and how far he had run.
All I could hear was the whistling of the wind in my ears.
It wasn't until the two of them ran into a forest that Dongzi felt a little tired, and her breathing began to become rapid and unsteady.
"Stop! Stop!" While running forward and trying to distance himself from Dongzi, the man turned back and shouted to Dongzi: "Let's all stop!"
Dongzi gasped, bent down and supported her knees with both hands, looking at the man coldly.
When the man saw Dongzi stop, he stopped, doing the same action as Dongzi, and looked at Dongzi panting.
"No, brother, I just sat on the wall of their house for a while and didn't do anything. Why did you chase me for so long?" The man said breathlessly.
