After reading the note, I asked Xu Xuan if that address was a low-level contact point. He smiled and said, "You can understand it that way, but I don't know if you can see that guy this time.
If you can't meet him, someone else will give you a case. Anyway, when you get there, just ask for the person named Li."
I said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
Grandpa Mai stayed here in the Miao Village, while Mai Xiaorou and I embarked on the road out of the Miao Village.
Before leaving, I asked Xu Xuan the secret code to say hello in Nazhaikou Village, so that it would be easier for us to come next time.
But Xu Xuan said, I don’t need to know. Before I complete the thirty-six strange cases, he will not see me and I will not be able to find him.
I don't think so. Even if we don't have horses in Zhaikou Village, we can still reach this Miao Village by walking along that road. After all, there is only one road from Zhaikou Village to Miao Village.
Mai Xiaorou and I rode out from the Miao Village. She was in a very depressed mood along the way. I knew it was because of what happened to Grandpa Mai.
So I said to Mai Xiaoju: "Xiaorou, don't worry, let's go to North China to check the situation first. We will come back to the Miao village in more than ten days. We will definitely catch up with Grandpa Mai for the last time."
Mai Xiaorou nodded.
When we entered the village, we felt that it took a long time, but when we left the village, we felt that it was very fast. Not long after, we arrived at Zhaikou Village, handed back the horses, and waited for the bus here.
The person in charge of taking care of the horses in Zhaikou Village told us that this car only goes once a day and we have to wait for more than three hours before we can get the car.
Mai Xiaorou and I stood blankly at the entrance of the village. She looked in the direction of the Miao village in the mountains from time to time. Like her, I also thought about the Miao village and the Xu Gao people.
Xu Xuan asked me to complete thirty-six strange cases and would accept me as his disciple after completion. I always felt that there was something fishy in this.
According to what Xu Xuan said, if I am a disaster, then the Taoists should seal me up or kill me directly. But why is he so tolerant to me?
There are a lot of things here that I can't figure out.
When I was thinking about this, a red car drove over from a distance. When I got closer, I realized that the person driving the car was Ning Xi. She had found her way here. She was really haunted.
When the car stopped next to us, she lowered the window and greeted us: "We meet again. We are waiting for the car. This car is coming very slowly. How about it? Do you want to take a ride to take you to the town?"
Mai Xiaorou asked Ning Xi directly and coldly: "Why do you always follow us? What's wrong with you?"
Ning Xi looked at Mai Xiaorou and said with a smile: "My purpose is very simple, to find out how you defeated Tang Yi. I am a bit obsessive-compulsive. If I can't figure out the reason, I will feel very uncomfortable. If you
If you are willing to tell me, then I promise that I will never harass you again in the future."
Naturally, I couldn't tell Ning Xi about the Snake King Pendant, so neither Mai Xiaorou nor I said anything.
Ning Xi continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I will continue to pester you until you tell me. Even if you don't take my car, I will still drive and follow you. Anyway, you can never get rid of me."
Hearing what Ning Xi said, Mai Xiaorou opened the car door and got into the car. Before I could react, Mai Xiaorou reached out and grabbed me and pulled me into the car. I was caught off guard and got into Mai Xiaorou.
Xiaorou's arms.
Instantly my face felt a little hot.
But Ning Xi was still in the car, so I didn't dare to enjoy it too much, so I quickly got out of Mai Xiaorou's arms and closed the car door.
Mai Xiaorou said sarcastically to Ning: "Since you want to be our free driver, that's good. You can take us directly to the airport in the nearest city. We want to fly to North China."
Ning Xi smiled and said: "No problem!"
Ning Xi didn't ask us any questions along the way, but instead of taking us to the airport in the nearest city, she sent us to Changsha.
Mai Xiaorou didn't stop Ning Xi from doing this. I asked Ning Xi casually, and she said that she had already booked our tickets here, and we could take the flight and leave directly when we got here.
Only when we got here did we find out that Ning Xi was also flying back to the provincial capital on the same flight as us.
When we arrived at the provincial capital, Ning Xi asked us where we were going next. She continued to help us make arrangements. Mai Xiaorou said: "No, we are going home to rest. Don't you have the ability? Check it out yourself."
."
After saying that, Mai Xiaorou pulled me into a taxi and went to Cuidi Chunxiao.
Ning Xi stood behind us and watched us leave. Before we could go far, she shouted: "Don't think I can't find out."
Ning Xi really has great magical powers. She seems to be able to find us wherever we go.
When we returned to our residence, Mai Xiaorou went back to her room without saying anything. I originally wanted to comfort her, but she locked the door.
I called her name a few times, and she said, "Chen Yu, I'm fine. Just let me be quiet for the night. We'll go to that county tomorrow."
After hearing what Mai Xiaorou said, I stopped disturbing him.
When I got back to the room, I didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, I meditated and adjusted my breath. I had to improve my strength as soon as possible because I had no way out.
As for the school stuff, I don't have the time to think about it anymore, and I don't even bother to ask for leave.
I don’t know how long I meditated before I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I smelled the fragrant aroma of rice. When I went out, I saw that it was Mai Xiaorou cooking.
When she saw me coming out, she smiled at me charmingly and said, "You're awake and ready to eat. After eating, we can go on our way."
Judging from Mai Xiaorou's expression, she seemed to have forgotten all about Grandpa Mai.
Mai Xiaorou's mood improved, so I naturally didn't want to expose her injuries, so I just smiled, went to wash up, and then sat down at the dining table.
While eating, I discovered that Mai Xiaorou's mood was really much better. She was not pretending. Was it because her feelings for Grandpa Mai were not deep enough, or was it because she had really forgotten those things?
No, she said she forgot, but why did she remember going to a small county town to find a wreath shop?
Mai Xiaorou's change is so strange, I really want to know what happened to her alone in the room last night.
When I think about it, I always feel that something is different about Mai Xiaorou, but I can't tell what is different.
After breakfast, we set off to the small county town.
After a three-hour drive, we arrived at the station in the county town. The county town was not big. We found a car at the station and paid us ten yuan to take us to the door of the wreath and shroud shop.
This building has a small appearance, and although it is simple, it cannot be said to be shabby.
Mai Xiaorou and I took a look at the door, and then walked into the store. There was no one in the store, only the LCD TV that looked a little older was still playing.
"Is there anyone there?" I called into the store.
This shop has a back door, and behind it is a yard, which should be a place for people to live.
After a while, a young man came over. I recognized him as soon as I met him, Li Guidao.
I can't help but wonder, could it be that the person Xu Xuan wants us to find is Li Guidao?
Li Guidao looked at me and Mai Xiaorou and was stunned for a moment. Then he didn't expect us to come and said, "How did you find this place? Did you cause any trouble again?"
I quickly handed the note Xu Xuan gave us to Li Guidao, and then told Li Guidao the purpose of our visit. At the same time, I asked Li Guidao if he was the person we were looking for.
After Li Guidao read the note, he said: "This is indeed Master Xu's handwriting. It turned out that he arranged for you to come here, but the person he asked you to find is not me, but me..."
Before Li Guidao finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He asked us to wait and then answered the phone.
While talking on the phone, he glanced at us a few times, then hung up the phone with a few "um" and "ah" sounds and said: "The person you are looking for is my master. My master is not here recently, but he
You called me just now and handed over your affairs to me, and I will arrange the thirty-six strange cases you are going to handle."
Li Guidao's master? Could it be that this shop was opened by Li Guidao's master? Li Guidao was the person who made everyone in the Tang family fear him. How could his master live in such a shabby place and ask Li Guidao to do so?
Guidao comes to see the store in person!?
When Li Guidao saw that I was silent, he asked me, "Why, don't you want me to make arrangements for you?"
I shook my head and said, "That's not what I meant. I was just distracted."
Li Guidao said: "Don't worry, although I arranged this case for you, those cases were all selected by master for you. It makes me a little surprised to say that I can trouble my master to choose the cases for you. I am
The first one, you should be the second one."
As he spoke, Li Guidao suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pity that I didn't learn Master's divination skills, otherwise I would definitely give you a good calculation to see what kind of person you are."
While Li Guidao was saying this, a little girl's voice suddenly came from the backyard: "Xiao Dao Dao'er, bring me some apples."
Li Guidao immediately said respectfully: "Yes, aunt!"
The person who made the little girl's voice was Li Guidao's aunt? I couldn't help but think of the time at Tang Fu Tea House, when he called the thing in his backpack aunt. Could it be that he really was carrying a child on his back at that time.
Li Guidao asked us to wait a moment, then quickly ran into the backyard and then to the second floor.
Mai Xiaorou and I looked at each other, and Mai Xiaorou said: "This store is not simple. We must be more careful when we come here in the future."
I nodded "Yeah" and subconsciously began to adjust my breath to sense the surrounding atmosphere, wanting to know why this store was not simple.
Soon my breath reached the second floor. Before I could sense the breath on the second floor, a breath like Mount Tai pressed against my breath. I was caught off guard and collapsed directly to the ground.
The aura just now was so strong, it really felt like a mountain was pressing down on me.
Seeing me lying limply on the ground, Mai Xiaorou immediately went to help me up and asked me what was wrong.
Without waiting for me to speak, Li Guidao returned to the store. He looked at me and smiled and said: "Don't try to use your breath to explore the secrets of this store in the future, otherwise you will be hurt. I will forgive you for your first offense. I will show mercy."
, otherwise you may have a nervous breakdown and even become a fool."
I know Li Guidao wasn't joking.
Li Guidao continued: "Okay, let me assign you the first case - the bloody mirror house!" (To be continued)
