Chapter 14: Crazy Daily Life of Finding Books 9
"Uncle, take a look, is this my father's handwriting?"
Yuan Shen looked at the contents written on the paper, his face became angry, but he still endured it and handed the paper to Uncle Lin.
Uncle Lin saw Yuan Shen's expression and couldn't help but feel puzzled. After taking it, he looked at the paper and his expression changed drastically. He was shocked and angry.
"It's the master's handwriting! But that evil man Yuan Feng, he even has something to do with the curse!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, except Rong Su and Shen Peiqing who already knew about it, showed surprised expressions.
Uncle Lin handed the paper back to Yuan Shen. After Yuan Shen took it, he stared at the paper with angry eyes and trembling hands.
"Is Uncle only finding out about this now, Father?"
"I know that the master is looking for people from underworld to investigate Yuan Feng's affairs, but I didn't expect that the master would keep this news hidden." Uncle Lin really didn't know about this, and his face was full of confusion and distress.
Yuan Shen seemed to understand Yuan An's intention. He smiled bitterly at the paper and said, "Father actually wanted to protect Yuan Feng and didn't reveal the news immediately. He seemed to be looking for evidence while giving Yuan Feng a chance, waiting for him to admit his mistake to father."
"It's a pity. Yuan Feng is so ambitious. How could he admit his mistakes?"
Rong Su saw that both the master and servant were in grief and anger, and didn't want to see them wasting time on sadness, so he reminded them.
"Since Master Yuan has hired someone from the underworld to investigate Yuan Feng, he must also be searching for evidence about Yuan Feng and the curse. If we can find the person Master Yuan hired, we might be able to get what we need. Who knows."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Shen immediately understood and looked at Uncle Lin.
"Uncle, do you know how to contact those people?"
After hearing this, Uncle Lin pondered for a long while before replying, "It should be possible. Let me think of some ways."
Hearing that Uncle Lin had a solution, Rong Su calmed down and thought, if he could get evidence linking Yuan Feng and the curse rumors, perhaps everything would be different.
The initiative is definitely in their hands.
At this time, Gu Yun suddenly mentioned something: "The two families that Yu'er and I had inquired about before might also have relevant clues."
Hearing this, Rong Su recalled that she first learned about the curse from these two families. Perhaps she could really get some clues from them.
"Okay, then I'll go find those two families and ask them again." Rong Su volunteered. Since she had promised to help Yuan Shen, she would never go back on her word and would even work harder.
Gu Yun was a little worried when he heard that she was going: "Yuan Feng has sent people to look for us now. It's not appropriate for you to go alone, so I will come with you. I also know where those two families live."
Rong Su felt that having one more person would allow them to split up the work, so she didn't refuse.
Seeing that Rong Su agreed to go with Gu Yun to look for clues, Shen Peiqing looked at Gu Yun again. Gu Yun's eyes looked at Rong Su with a little softer light. Seeing this, a hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes.
Since Yuan Shen and Jiang Yanyu's injuries had just improved slightly, Gu Yuer stayed in the cave to look after them.
Uncle Lin had to find a way to contact the gangsters that Mr. Yuan had found to get clues.
Originally, Rong Su thought that Shen Peiqing would naturally stay in the cave to help Gu Yuer take care of Yuan Shen and the others.
But the next morning, she hesitated. She was going to visit the two families harmed by the curse, and she probably wouldn't need silver needles, so she didn't bring any with her. She was just packing them up and went to find Gu Yun who was waiting outside.
As soon as I came out of the cave, I looked up and saw two people standing not far away.
Gu Yun was dressed in a light blue robe, which made his gentle and jade-like temperament look as elegant as a gentle exiled immortal.
Shen Peiqing, who showed up unexpectedly, was dressed in a black robe as thick as ink. He exuded a sense of alienation, as if strangers were kept away from him. He was cold and aloof.
Gu Yun saw her coming, with a smile in his eyes, and took two steps forward to bow and say, "Miss Rong. Thank you for helping me find Yu'er and my bag yesterday."
Before Rong Su could say anything, Shen Peiqing started to tease her coldly, "She and I recovered the things together, so why did Doctor Gu only thank her and not me?"
Hearing this, Rong Su couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly and glanced over. Why was this guy picking a fight so early in the morning? And why did he follow her?
Gu Yun realized that he was wrong, and hurriedly smiled and bowed to Shen Peiqing: "Sorry, yes, I should thank Mr. Shen."
Shen Peiqing looked at Rong Su, and when he saw Gu Yun sincerely thanking him, he turned away with a cold face, feeling very bored, and said nothing.
He felt quite depressed. Why didn't the crazy girl ask him why he followed her?
They were all silent for a moment, which was very awkward. Rong Su felt it was a waste of time and urged, "Doctor Gu, please lead the way."
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "Ah, okay."
He looked at the direction and pointed the way for them: "Go that way."
She looked over there and then walked over there. When Shen Peiqing saw her, he also followed her.
After walking a short distance, Gu Yun would glance at her from time to time, which made her feel a little strange. She felt that he had something to say, so she asked directly, "Doctor Gu, do you have something to say?"
Gu Yun didn't expect Rong Su to see it, and his face immediately turned red with embarrassment. He hesitated for a few seconds, glanced at her, lowered his head, and said softly: "Miss Rong, you don't have to call me Doctor Gu all the time. Just call me Gu Yun."
Rong Su was a little surprised, thinking that he would talk about the two families, or about the medical book, but she never expected that he would mention the name.
She didn't care about that, she could call him whatever he wanted.
"it is good."
When Gu Yun heard this, his eyes moved slightly and he raised his head to look at her, his eyes as clear as a stream containing a smile.
Shen Peiqing, who was following nearby, witnessed the whole process. His eyes darkened slightly, and he curled his lips and narrowed his eyes.
"Susu. The Yuanzhen tribe dress you wore yesterday was really beautiful."
Shen Peiqing suddenly called her name so intimately that Rong Su froze for a moment, stopped, and looked at him with extremely strange eyes.
Shen Peiqing gave her a provocative and extremely fake smile, which made her feel like she was getting goosebumps and shivered.
When Gu Yun heard Shen Peiqing calling Rong Su so intimately, the joy in his eyes instantly faded a lot. He looked at Shen Peiqing again and asked softly, "What Yuanzhen clan dress?"
Seeing the slightly tense expression on Gu Yun's face, Shen Peiqing curled his lips, then glanced at Rong Su's cold expression, and deliberately praised Rong Su to Gu Yun, saying: "Su Su and I changed into the clothes of Yuan Zhen people to conceal our identities. Su Su looks as beautiful as a fairy in them."
Rong Su didn't feel happy when she heard this. Instead, she felt that Shen Peiqing was making trouble. Why did he bring up this matter for no reason and call her like that insanely?
"Shen Peiqing. You actually look more handsome when you don't speak. This is true." Rong Su gritted her teeth and said to Shen Peiqing in a sinister tone.
Shen Peiqing saw that Rong Su was angry, raised his eyebrows, and followed her words: "Since Su Su said so, then I will be a handsome man who doesn't talk much."
After hearing this, Rong Su looked at Shen Peiqing with an even more strange look. What was he crazy about?
After Shen Peiqing finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Yun and saw that his face looked much worse. He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and his mood inexplicably improved a lot.
Gu Yun couldn't help but lower his eyelids when he saw the interaction between Rong Su and Shen Peiqing. It turned out that they were already very close?
Rong Su had no idea what the two were thinking. She just thought they were wasting her time looking for clues.
"Gu Yun, are you there yet?"
After being urged, Gu Yun quickly restrained his emotions, looked at the road carefully and led the way: "This way."
We passed through a small camphor forest and a small hill.
Finally, I saw two wooden houses slightly side by side gradually appearing in the distance.
When I got closer, I saw that the outside of the wooden house was in a mess. The wooden racks for drying medicinal herbs had fallen to the ground, and the herbs were scattered all over the floor.
The chairs and tables placed outside were covered with scratches from sharp weapons.
The doors of the two cabins were not closed and were both open.
Seeing this, Rong Su realized something was wrong and hurriedly walked towards the wooden house.
"not good!"
Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun seemed to realize that something was wrong at the same time and caught up with Rong Su.
When the three of them walked to the front of the wooden house, they looked around and saw how messy it was.
Rong Su walked into a wooden house first. Looking inside, she saw that the floor was covered in blood and the furnishings inside were badly damaged.
A bad premonition came over her. At this moment, Gu Yun, who had been looking from the other cabin, hurried in and said to her, "There's no one over there either!"
Hearing this, Rong Su had already thought of something and was about to say something, but Shen Peiqing made a judgment first.
"It seems someone has already arrived here. These two families must be in danger."
Rong Su's mood suddenly became heavy. She looked at Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun and saw that Gu Yun's expression was particularly solemn. Come to think of it, Gu Yun was a kind person and would probably feel sad for the plight of these two families.
Unlike her, although she also felt a little heavy-hearted, she felt more troubled because she had no way to get useful information from these two families.
"Let's get out of here quickly."
Shen Peiqing's expression suddenly became solemn. He lowered his voice and reminded her, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Hearing this, Rong Su quickly understood and called out to Gu Yun: "Gu Yun, let's go!"
Seeing sadness on Gu Yun's face, Rong Su curled her lips and reached out to pull Gu Yun. Gu Yun suddenly came back to his senses and looked at her. His eyes, which were as clear as spring water, were now covered with sadness, which was really touching.
Rong Su quickly put away her strange mood and reminded him again: "It's not advisable to stay here for long, hurry up and leave!"
Gu Yun finally understood what he meant, suppressed his emotions, and nodded solemnly: "Okay."
Shen Peiqing looked deeply at Rong Su's hand, and then followed them out.
But it's still too late.
When they walked out of the wooden house together, they saw someone blocking the front of the house.
Several men dressed in black and wearing black masks were holding long swords, staring at them with fierce eyes and murderous intent.
Seeing this, Rong Su couldn't help but frown.
The leading man stood in front of the men in black, staring directly at them. His voice was filled with ferocity: "I didn't expect you would actually come here to die. Very good, kill them!"
As soon as the order was given, the men in black raised their swords, flashing sharp blades, and attacked them all.
Rong Su's eyes instantly turned cold, and he took out poison powder from his sleeve. If he had known earlier, he would have brought silver needles with him today. Now he only had a few poisons left on him.
The herbs I bought before can still be used to make new poison powder.
In her eyes, a man in black was holding a sword and stabbing towards her. She was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and after dodging the sword, she waved her hand and sprayed poison into the man's eyes.
"Ah! My eyes!" The man in black immediately dropped his weapon and covered his eyes with his hands, feeling extremely painful.
The sound of fighting was heard from the side. She turned her head and saw that it was Shen Peiqing who was holding a dry branch in his hand. He was frowning and fighting fiercely with two men in black.
Seeing this, Rong Su frowned. Shen Peiqing's meridians were in such a bad condition that if this continued, he might really become a disabled person.
Suddenly, a dull sound came from the other side, and she turned her head to look.
Gu Yun was seen dodging desperately. He had never learned martial arts and did not carry poison on him. He could only dodge the attacks of the man in black, and some wounds had appeared on his body.
Rong Su looked at the little poison left in her hand and knew she could only save one of them.
The reader that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly popped up.
[Definitely saving the villain]
Seeing the content displayed on the reader, she immediately lowered her eyes and smiled with an ambiguous intention.
Holding the poison powder, he turned around and walked towards Gu Yun.
The reader assistant was so shocked that the screen kept popping up.
[Host, the person you want to save is a villain]
[Host, host, the villain is your target]
Rong Su ignored all these pop-up messages, ran over directly, and used poison powder to save Gu Yun first.
Shen Peiqing, who had already been stabbed by the man in black, saw Rong Su resolutely going to save Gu Yun. His dark eyes flashed with sinister and bloodthirsty emotions, and were filled with sarcastic coldness.
The man in black in front of him noticed his inattention, sneered, and intensified his attack: "Your opponent is me!"
Shen Peiqing gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce. Regardless of the piercing pain in his hand, he quickly swung the dry branch in his hand, and his dark and cold eyes flashed with murderous intent.
The man in black in front of him didn't expect that he would have such a powerful move. The next second, a dry branch pierced his chest and he fell to the ground with a scream.
But this move made his hands feel as if they were burning. The hand holding the dry branch had lost all feeling and began to tremble numbly.
Seeing that another man in black was already swinging his sword at him fiercely, he smiled bitterly and coldly under the cold light of the sword.
At that moment, a petite figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and watched the long sword pierce her shoulder blade. The hot blood splattered on his face, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Gu Yun shouted in shock, "Miss Rong!"
Immediately afterwards, the man in black was pierced through the heart by Rong Su's long sword. He stared in astonishment and soon fell to the ground and died.
Rong Su felt a sharp pain in her shoulder blades. She gritted her teeth and held on to her arms, almost falling down. Suddenly, she felt a warm and strong arm around her waist.
She was slightly stunned and turned her head to look. Shen Peiqing, who was standing close to her behind her, was looking down at her. His dark eyes contained a hint of depth and complexity.
[I thought the host wouldn't save the villain, so I scared Xiaozhu]
Rong Su glanced at the pop-up screen of the reader, lowered his eyes, sneered in his heart, and had his own calculations.
People like Shen Peiqing prefer this kind of things. He must have had a lot of them before. Only by making him feel disappointed and then giving him hope again, will he slowly look at you differently.
Since we are going to use it, we must carry it out to the end.
