After thinking about it, I always feel that the case we filed is vaguely related to the Tang family and the Baji Mirror back then.
Although I was thinking about these things in my mind, I didn't stay in a daze. I supported Mai Xiaorou and walked quickly outside the community. At the same time, I looked around to find where the person who was watching us was.
It’s just that with my current strength, I can’t detect the master that Mai Xiaorou mentioned.
When we arrived at the door, there was no taxi coming, so I had to help Mai Xiaorou walk while waiting for the taxi to come. I didn't dare to stop where I was, because I was afraid that Mai Xiaorou's identity would be revealed.
If her identity is exposed and there are really experts who want to deal with her, I can't stop it at all with my ability. Grandpa Mai is already nearing his end of life, and I can't let Mai Xiaorou get into trouble again.
As we were walking, I asked Mai Xiaorou how she was injured. She shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, let's leave quickly. The master is not far behind us. It looks like he is waiting for an opportunity to attack us."
I didn't dare to be lazy, so I looked back while walking. This time I really saw a person, an old man wearing a Taoist robe, with a yellow bag slung around his waist, staring straight at us.
look.
I asked Mai Xiaorou if he was the Taoist priest, and Mai Xiaorou said: "Yes, let's not stay here too long, and try to find a car to get rid of him as soon as possible. We'd better not stay in the provincial capital and try to avoid him. Now
I'm a little injured, so I'm definitely no match for him."
We walked a few hundred meters forward, but there were still no taxis.
At this moment, a red car drove up behind us, and a familiar voice came: "Are you in a hurry? I can give you a ride."
This person is none other than Ning Xi.
Mai Xiaorou glanced at Ning Xi, then at the Taoist priest behind her, and said, "Chen Yu, help me get into the car."
Compared with Ning Xi, Mai Xiaorou was still more afraid of the Taoist priest behind her. Although Ning Xi approached us with purpose, she never showed the slightest hostility towards us.
When we got into Ning Xi's car, I looked back at the Taoist priest. He was still standing not far behind, his expression became a little solemn and a little unwilling.
Ning Xi pressed the horn a few times provocatively, and then sped away.
After walking a certain distance, I asked Mai Xiaorou how her current situation was. Mai Xiaoju said, "It was a bit heavy just now, but it didn't hurt me at all. It won't be a problem after I rest."
Ning Xi smiled and said, "Does that old Taoist priest have any grudge against you just now? He looks like he has murderous intentions. Why did you offend him?"
I said, we don't know him at all, that Taoist priest might be a lunatic.
Ning Xi continued to smile and said: "Such a powerful madman is rare, but then again, I saved you today."
Mai Xiaorou was already a little tired. She didn't say anything and just leaned on my shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.
I hesitated and said, "We owe you a favor."
Ning Xi laughed "haha" this time and said, "Then can you tell me what I want to find out?"
I shook my head and said, this won't work.
Ning Xi thought for a while and then said: "If I remember correctly, the soul of Qu Miaomiao in the Three Saints case is still with you. How about you give her to me?"
Qu Miaomiao was at the scene at that time. Maybe she also saw the incident when I, the Snake King, fell into power. I handed Qu Miaomiao to Ning Xi, and I was afraid that my matter would be leaked. Besides, Qu Miaomiao was related to
Tang family, our relationship with the Tang family is getting more and more tense now. Qu Miaomiao may be of some use in the future if she stays with us.
So I still shook my head and said, "Qu Miaomiao, I can't leave it to you either."
Ning Xi didn't bother and said with a smile: "You are really stingy. You won't give me this or that. Let's do this. In order to repay my kindness, treat me to a meal."
The favor could be repaid over a meal, so I naturally agreed directly.
Ning Xi said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's take it today. Should I find a place, or should you?"
At this time, Mai Xiaorou suddenly said: "I can't do it today, I'm too tired. Give us your mobile phone some other time and call us when we make an appointment with you."
Ning Xi said "Oh", and then said with some disappointment: "That's a pity. Since it's inconvenient for you today, forget it. Okay, now tell me, where are you going?"
Mai Xiaorou directly told Ning Xi the address of the wreath shop in the small county town.
After hearing this address, Ning Xi was a little curious and asked: "Where are you going and what are you doing?"
Mai Xiaorou didn't say anything, so I added: "Go hand in the case."
Speaking of this case, we solved it on the same day, which was pretty quick. But then I thought again, there seems to be an old Taoist priest involved behind this case. If we don’t find out what happened to the old Taoist priest, will the case be considered complete?
?
Thinking of this, I asked Mai Xiaorou in a low voice, and she whispered in my ear: "It's done. We are only responsible for solving the troubles of the Yang family. As for who is involved in this case,
It has nothing to do with us. If we continue to investigate, it will be the second case."
At this point, Mai Xiaorou said nothing and continued to rest on my shoulder.
Ning Xi and I had nothing to say. We talked casually for a while and then each of us began to remain silent.
By the time we arrived at the door of the county town wreath shop, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. I called Li Guidao before arriving, so the door was still open for us.
This is a small county town. Most of the shops on this street are closed at this point. Only the lights of the wreath shop are still on. At first glance, it looks a bit strange and even scary.
Pushing the door open, Li Guidao was sorting out some goods. When he saw us coming, he said, "I didn't expect you to handle cases so efficiently. In just one day, you solved the first case. It was better than what I did at that time."
It’s much better. I remember when I filed my first case, it took me ten days, and I could barely finish it in the end.”
I said: "Then your case must be many times more difficult than mine."
Li Guidao said: "That's true, but then again, your current strength is not enough to solve a case like mine."
I asked Li Guidao what our next case would be.
As he packed his things, he said, "There's no rush."
Ning Xi and Li Guidao met. The two glanced at each other, but they did not communicate much. Judging from their eyes, they did not seem to know each other.
Ning Xi looked at the wreath shop for a few times, then looked up at the upstairs, and suddenly gave a respectful salute to the person upstairs. I knew that Ning Xi was saluting Li Guidao's aunt.
Li Guidao smiled and said, "You know the rules very well. Auntie likes obedient juniors like you."
Ning Xi introduced himself to Li Guidao, and then said: "Dare you ask me your friend's name?"
Li Guidao said: "I, Li Guidao, have you ever heard of this?"
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Are you Li Guidao? I have not only heard of it, it is like thunder. You are the top ten young men in the supernatural world today. How could I not know about it?"
Li Guidao asked Ning Xi where he had learned from.
Ning Xi leaned into Li Guidao's ear and whispered a few words.
After listening to Ning Xi's words, Li Guidao said two words: "Disrespectful!"
Ning Xi quickly returned the greeting: "Brother Li Dao, you're so polite!"
After Ning Xi learned Li Guidao's name, he immediately changed his Taoist friend to Taoist brother.
Next, Ning Xi did not inquire further and stood aside without speaking. Ning Xi seemed arrogant and domineering, and he did not take Zhang Rui seriously. Originally, I thought that her and Li Guidao's status in the supernatural world might be similar.
But I didn't expect that she was still far behind Li Guidao.
This makes me even more curious about Li Guidao's identity.
After talking to Ning Xi, Li Guidao said to us: "Would you like to arrange a place for you to stay in the wreath shop? You can rest here for a few days and help me take care of the business of the wreath shop when there is a case."
Okay, I'll let you know again."
"Forget it!"
"OK!"
Ning Xi and we spoke almost at the same time. Mai Xiaorou and I chose to refuse, but Ning Xi chose to agree.
This wreath shop is too weird, especially with Li Guidao's awesome aunt on the second floor. I always feel like it's not safe to live here, and Mai Xiaorou probably thinks so too.
But Ning Xi really wanted to live here. Judging from her expression, it seemed like it was such an honor to live here.
Li Guidao smiled and said: "In this case, fellow Taoist Ning will stay. You two can find a place to stay. Turn right when you go out. There is a small hotel not far away. There should be rooms. It's also close to my place. It's okay.
There is someone taking care of you."
Mai Xiaorou and I nodded and left.
Ning Xi stayed in the wreath shop with an excited look on his face. I suddenly felt that Ning Xi was a nymphomaniac. Could he have fallen in love with Li Guidao?
But looking at her appearance, it doesn't seem like it.
We found a small hotel not far away to stay. Because Mai Xiaorou was injured, we only had one room, which made it easier for me to take care of her at night.
That night, Mai Xiaorou and I both slept well, and she didn't tease me because she was injured.
Mai Xiaorou also rested overnight, but of course her injury was not healed. Early the next morning, she started blowing air in my ear, which made me feel a little itchy.
At this time, my cell phone rang. It was a call from Li Guidao. He said directly on the phone: "Yesterday I told Master that you completed the case. Master was a little surprised and said that this case will be given to you."
Make it more difficult, the case given to you this time is - die with your eyes open!"
