Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

According to Li Xia, there is a living spring in the back mountain of Lexian Tower, the spring water is clear, and the "Zuiliuxia" brewed in their building is brewed from the water of this living spring.

About a month ago, when two winemakers were fetching water from the back mountain, one of them drank a few sips by the way. Unexpectedly, after drinking it, he felt light-headed, excited, and had a feeling of falling into a dream. When he got up, the other person was surprised and rushed to call for someone. When the person came, the person who drank the water had basically regained consciousness, and his body did not feel any discomfort.

The doctor who usually treated the girls in the building had seen many heretics when he was young, and was called to study the spring water, thinking that there were addictive ingredients in the spring water.Together with the doctor, Li Xia and the doctor felt that the spring water could be diluted to an appropriate ratio and mixed into the wine, so as to retain a large number of repeat customers.At the same time, they also found that the content of this component in the spring water is not stable, as if it appeared suddenly, and it will disappear at some time, so a lot of spring water with "materials" was hurriedly stored in the building some time ago, in case it appeared suddenly. use.

Li Xia brought Shen Yao and Xuan Qi to Houshan, and showed them the living spring.

The back mountain here has been simply repaired. Several people walked through the nine-curved corridor eaves with lanterns hanging on them, and came to a small pool. The spring was in the middle of the pool, gurgling and splashing.

Shen Yao looked at Li Xia, Xuan Qi approached the pool of water, squatted down and reached out to scoop up some water, put it on the tip of his nose and lips to identify it for a while, and nodded to Shen Yao.

Seeing this, Li Xia hurriedly continued to defend herself, "My lords, I really didn't lie to you. We discovered the strangeness of this spring by accident. No one instigated it. It's only my fault that I was deceived by lard. Mixing water with wine is harmful, but the doctor in our building said that as long as this medicine is not taken in large quantities for a long time, it will not do any harm to people. Then he collapsed on the ground, beating his chest and stamping his feet in remorse.

"What do you think?" Shen Yao asked Xuan Qi who was walking back.

Xuan Qi thought for a while and said, "The thugs in the building are just a group of miscellaneous fish, and there is no one master." The implication is that Li Xia's words are reasonable, and there is no "behind the scenes" here.

"Well," Shen Yao nodded, and said to Li Xia who was paralyzed on the ground, "I will believe what you said, but from now on, you must destroy all the alcohol mixed with medicine and stop doing harm to others. If your body was damaged by the previous behavior, you also have to be responsible for helping others heal.”

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "It's all according to what you said. The two young masters are really chivalrous. I don't dare to do this black-hearted business anymore. I'll go to the front and have the 'Zui Liuxia' taken down." , then got up to leave, Shen Yao saw her eyeballs rolling while she was talking, and she didn't make it clear, and didn't stop her again. Seeing this, Li Xia hurriedly got up and ran back.

Only Shen Yao and Xuan Qi were left by the pool, Xuan Qi asked, "My lord, do you believe that she will ask someone to remove the wine?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. We will go to the government to supervise tomorrow."

Xuan Qi blinked, nodded and stopped asking.

A gust of evening wind blew by, the lights moved and shadows slanted, the vegetation swayed slightly, and the stars in the night sky fell on the pool water.

Seeing Shen Yao staring at him, Xuan Qi slightly raised the corners of his eyes and brows, he asked a little strangely, "What are you looking at, young master?"

"Look at the stars." Shen Yao stared into his eyes.

Xuan Qi suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. Shen Yao's eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and picturesque under the starlight. He turned his gaze slightly sideways, but couldn't help but glance at Shen Yao from the corner of his eye. He asked, "Where shall we go next?"

"Go back to the inn to rest." Shen Yao took a panoramic view of Xuan Qi's appearance, his eyebrows and eyes were more and more curved, and replied him.

In the evening, the two booked two rooms at an inn in the town.

It was late at night when we got back to the inn.

When Shen Yao entered his room, he was too lazy to light the lamp, so he threw himself on the bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, several pairs of faintly glowing eyes, tentacles with fine hairs and limbs appeared in his mind, he quickly opened his eyes, and blinked vigorously. After a few breaths, his breathing quickened, and his hands unconsciously grasped the quilt.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and Xuan Qi asked softly at the door, "Mr. Shen, are you asleep?"

There was no response from inside the room, Xuan Qi stood quietly at the door for a while, and was about to leave when Shen Yao's voice came, "I'm not asleep yet."

Then there was a slight rustling sound, and then Shen Yao opened the door, and asked Xuan Qi with a slight smile, "What's the matter?"

Noticing that Xuan Qi was staring at his face carefully, Shen Yao looked away uncomfortably, and when he lowered his head, he saw Xuan Qi holding a plate in his hand, on which were porridge, steamed buns and a few dishes of side dishes.

"This is?"

"My lord didn't have dinner just now, there are some porridge and side dishes left in the inn kitchen, Xuan Qi brought some, and wanted to ask if you need it."

Although he didn't have an appetite, he suddenly felt warm in his heart, and Shen Yao said, "Hurry up and bring it in, I just feel hungry."

After lighting the lamp and setting the dishes, Xuan Qi was dragged by Shen Yao to sit down together.

Seeing that Xuan Qi only took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, Shen Yao asked, "Have you eaten?"

Xuan Qi lowered his eyes and nodded, helped him to fill the porridge, handed it to him and said, "My lord, please use it."

Seeing Xuan Qi's appearance, Shen Yao guessed that he must secretly keep the distinction of superiority and inferiority, and would not eat before him.

He picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Xuan Qidao, "Eat some more with me."

"My lord... this is not in compliance with the rules." Xuan Qi stretched out his hand to catch it, and it didn't matter if he didn't catch it, straightened his body and said.

"I told you that you don't need to tell me any rules." Shen Yao frowned pretendingly, and said, "If you really talked about the rules, you lied to me that you had eaten, wouldn't you have violated the rules long ago?"

"..." Xuan Qi blinked slightly, lowered his head and said, "Xuan Qi knows his mistake."

"Pfft..." Shen Yao couldn't help but chuckled, "Have you always been this cute?"

Xuan Qi looked up and saw Shen Yao's narrow expression.

"My lord, don't play tricks on Xuan Qi..." Xuan Qi felt a little burning behind his ears.

"Okay!" Shen Yao readily agreed, "Eat with me, and I won't tease you anymore."

"..." Xuan Qi took the steamed bun respectfully.

Shen Yao took two bites, feeling a little stuffy in his stomach. Seeing Xuan Qi holding the steamed buns into his mouth cautiously, he pushed the dish towards Xuan Qi, turned the chopsticks upside down and handed it to Xuan Qi. , "Pick a la carte to eat."

Xuan Qi looked at Shen Yao. From the moment he entered the door, he found that Shen Yao's bright eyes were covered with a trace of frustration, and a little tiredness was hidden in his always charming smile. For the first time, he didn't want to keep looking at Shen Yao like this. smiley face.

"Spiders... are scary." Xuan Qi hesitated for a long time before saying.

Shen Yao's expression changed instantly. He touched his nose and said with a self-deprecating expression, "Ah... yes, today is thanks to you." Seeing Xuan Qi looking at him all the time, worry appeared in his quiet eyes , couldn't help turning his head sideways, and said jokingly, "Grandfather, can you keep Shen's embarrassment a secret today, otherwise..." He turned around, stared at Xuan Qi's eyes, and raised his eyebrows, " Shen can only agree with her body as a hush money."

Xuan Qi's eyes widened suddenly, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.He opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

Shen Yao laughed completely, put his chin on one hand, and said, "I've finished eating, you take your time."

Xuan Qi lowered his head, put the steamed buns back on the table, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, Xuan Qi won't tell what happened today. I've finished eating too. You should rest early." After speaking, he got up and stood up , began to clear the plates.

Shen Yao looked at Xuan Qi's face from below, and saw that his expression was indifferent, without any emotion, but for some reason, Shen Yao suddenly felt very guilty.Xuan Qi is always serious, does he feel that his words are too frivolous?Are you angry that you left so quickly?

For a moment, several thoughts came to Shen Yao, and Shen Yao regretted and annoyed.

When he came back to his senses, Xuan Qi had already bid him farewell and left the house.

Shen Yao blew out the lamp and lay back on the bed again.

The sound of the wind outside the house gradually picked up, followed by the sound of dripping rain, which soon became denser and denser.

The body becomes chilly, and the darkness magnifies the sentimentality.

I don't want to close my eyes, for fear of re-entering the nightmare.

Shen Yao tossed and turned, and the scene of having dinner with Xuan Qi under the lamp just now reappeared repeatedly. He thought that the sentence "spider is terrible" that Xuan Qi said at that time was an affirmative tone, not a question. Respectful and introverted man, why did he just casually make fun of the serious and active concern just now?

Shen Yao, Shen Yao, why do you always make jokes with Xuan Qi? He blamed himself, deliberately ignoring an answer that came out immediately... A joke can cover up a certain thought that is becoming clearer in his heart.

"Oh, Xuan Qi..." Shen Yao sighed, and softly read Xuan Qi's name.

The next moment, the window of the room was tapped twice, and Xuan Qi's voice sounded outside the window, "Master?"

"Ah!" Shen Yao sat up in shock, and looked out of the window, there was a figure reflected on the window paper, apparently hanging down from the roof.

"Xuan Qi, what are you doing?" Shen Yao walked quickly to the window, opened the window, looked up, and was instantly hit by raindrops on his face, and the man was lying on the roof with his head poking out from the eaves, eyes Shining brightly in the rainy night, when she saw Shen Yao poking her head out, she wanted to reach out to protect him from the rain.

"Come in quickly." Shen Yao said.

The man obediently performed the trick "Butterfly Piercing Flowers", and jumped into the window from the roof.
