A cool summer song of neon clothes and feather clothes

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Early in the morning, a burst of laughter erupted in Xu Mo's room.

Although no one would hear the laughter, Xu Mo just gave that person a blank stare.

The man held a piece of paper in his hand, on which was drawn a...human face?Half of the crooked eyes, crooked nose, and crooked mouth have grown out of the face.A few crooked lines, thick and thin, hung down explosively around the barely contoured face.

"May I ask Mr. Xu, where is this monster?" Shen Yi asked with a suppressed smile.

Xu Mo snatched the paper from his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it aside, where its paper ball brothers had been waiting for a long time.

Then he picked up the pen on the table and handed it to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi looked at him, the tears from laughing were still glistening in the corner of his eyes.Seeing that Xu Mo's complexion was not good, he restrained himself a little, and instead of picking up the pen, he held the pen together with his hand in the palm of his hand.The other hand wrapped around Xu Mo's waist, and with a little force, he turned to face the desk.

Xu Mo felt a chill on his back, but his chest became inexplicably hot.

Driven by external force, the pen in his hand stuck to the paper and walked up, down, left, and right.But Xu Mo's mind was not on the pen and paper at all.

He secretly glanced at the side of the man's face with the corners of his eyes. The contours of the facial features were clear and gentle, as delicate as jade carvings, but cold, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth made his heart beat violently.

Of course, it wasn't the first time Xu Mo observed a man's beautiful face so closely, but it made him blush almost every time.He himself attributed it to the pure pursuit of beauty.

"Shuqiu?"

Unknowingly, the hand has been let go.

Only then did Xu Mo concentrate on looking at the piece of paper in front of him.

That is, the moment his eyes touched the paper, he couldn't help but gasped again.

So true.

What appeared on the paper was a woman's face, it was the female ghost they saw last night.

The female ghost's red lips were slightly opened, and her red and phoenix eyes were shining with cold light, staring at Xu Mo, as if she could hook people's souls into her.

"You..." Xu Mo wanted to say something, but his words suddenly choked up.

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows shyly: "How?"

"Very good." Xu Mo whispered, rolled up the painting and put it in the skirt of his clothes.

"Not as cute as Shuqiu." Shen Yi pressed against his ear and smiled lightly.

Xu Mo's face turned red, and he walked out the door without paying attention to him.

"Where are you going?" Shen Yi asked from behind.

"Xue Mansion."

Xue's mansion is now strictly guarded by the guards of Prince Liang's mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the order of the prince.

"Master Xu, please stay." This "anyone" also includes the county magistrate of Qu County.

Xu Mo bowed his hands respectfully and said: "I have some things I want to confirm with Young Master Xue, please be considerate."

The guards looked at Xu Mo up and down for a long time, but they still didn't let go: "My lord has an order, no one can get in touch with members of the Xue family. My lord, don't blame the villain for being ungrateful."

Xu Mo has never been a person who speaks eloquently, seeing that his words don't make sense, he is thinking of finding another way.At this moment, a voice sounded: "Wood!"

"Brother Liu?" The guard looked happy and walked behind Xu Mo.

Turning around, it was Liu Zhen walking this way.

"My lord ordered Mr. Xu to do something. It's okay if I follow you." He said, and gave Xu Mo a wink.

The guard nodded and bowed immediately: "So that's the case, Mr. Xu, please forgive the villain for being rude."

So Xu Mo and Liu Zhen entered Xue's residence effortlessly.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Mo quickly thanked him: "Brother Liu, is it wrong to falsely pass on the will of the prince?"

Liu Zhen smiled: "It's okay. Master Xu didn't come here to do bad things, did he?"

"Thank you, Brother Liu."

"It's just a little effort. But what does Master Xu want to confirm? Or is it related to "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song"?" Liu Zhen asked.

"Ah."

While the two were talking, a figure hurriedly ran towards them. Seeing them, he knelt down like seeing a Bodhisattva who saved the world.

"Master Xu!" the man shouted, "Please save our young master."

Xu Mo frowned, feeling puzzled.It's good to stay in the mansion, even if you are sick, you should ask the doctor for help.

He lifted the person in front of him and asked, "What happened?"

"Last night, someone shot an arrow into the young master's room. On the arrow was a piece of paper with the words 'full moon festival, the Milky Way sky; if you don't go, you will die'. However, we were The lord is restrained, how can he go there? Can you please say a few words to the lord to save the life of my little young master."

Xu Mo stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Take me to see the young master."

In a fairly elegant room, a thin young man kept paced in the room, like an ant on a hot pot, without even noticing that the door was opened.

"Young Master, Xu Zhi County is here."

The man looked up, and Xu Mo saw the young master's face clearly.He has a fair complexion, slightly protruding cheekbones, no flesh on his face, and slightly sunken cheeks, as if he had been ill for a long time.

When Young Master Xue's eyes met Xu Mo's, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed forward to hold Xu Mo's hand warmly: "Master Xu, please say hello to the prince for me."

Xu Mo gently pulled away his hand, took a small step to the side, and said politely: "Young master, speak slowly."

Young master Xue handed Xu Mo a piece of paper on the desk, which was the paper on the arrow that the next man said just now.

Xu Mo took the note and glanced at it: "Does the young master have any clues?"

Young Master Xue's gaze flickered, and he fell on his toes, bowing his head in silence.

"If the young master is unwilling to tell the truth, please forgive me for being powerless."

This sentence made Young Master Xue anxious, he said hastily: "Don't, Mr. Xu must not put his life and death at risk!"

Xu Mo: "Young master, would you like to say it?"

I saw that Young Master Xue bit his lip hard, clenched his fist, walked away, and whispered softly: "I... know this handwriting."

"Why did people write it?"

"...Bitch."

"Young Madam?" Xu Mo felt a lump in his heart. He remembered what Mr. Song's neighbor said before. Could it be that Miss Zhong?

Thinking so, Xu Mo took out Shen Yi's calligraphy from his arms.

"Is it for this person?"

The cold voice called Young Master Xue to turn his head. He only glanced at the painting, his face turned pale immediately, and he took several steps back. If the desk was not behind him, he might not be able to stand up.

If so, Xu Mo thought.

Young Master Xue's voice was trembling, and he yelled out of tune: "You... how do you know?"

Young Madam, that is, Miss Zhong passed away ten years ago, how could the county magistrate who has only been here for a year know what she looks like?Where did this image come from?

"Young Master, please answer the question first." Xu Mo said coldly, ignoring Young Master Xue's wavering.

Young Master Xue nodded, still leaning against the edge of the table, leaning back uncontrollably, looking at the portrait in Xu Mo's hand with fearful eyes, wishing to be farther away from it.

Xu Mo put away the portrait, and asked, "Young master, do you know "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" every night?"

Young Master Xue's eyes turned cold, he lowered his eyes, and snorted coldly.

Then he explained as if he didn't answer the question: "That bitch has been thinking about his little lover until his death, holding the piano that the poor actor gave him all day long, playing some melodious music in the courtyard, listening to it makes me upset. It’s all over once you’re dead.”

Suddenly, as if hit by a thunderbolt, Young Master Xue exclaimed: "It's that bitch! That bitch is back! I haven't looked for her yet, she's lucky!"

After another gloomy sneer, he suppressed his voice, almost roaring: "I want to see how capable she is, don't think that I'm afraid of her if I'm a ghost! If it wasn't for her, why would I procrastinate?" Look at this weak body! I don’t have the strength to spend time and money, it’s all the fault of that stinky bitch!”

Xu Mo and Liu Zhen looked at each other, but they didn't try to stop Young Master Xue from venting.After he calmed down, Xu Mo slowly asked, "The poor actor you're talking about is a puppet master named Song?"

Young Master Xue raised his head and gave Xu Mo a look, his eyes were full of hatred.

"Besides him, which other bastard is so ignorant? He even dares to touch my young master's woman? I don't know who gave him such audacity, and shamelessly performs in my house every year? Perform? Hehe, I think it's the drunkard's son." Not the bar."

Young Master Xue became emotional, and said decisively: "My lord, you have to help me anyway. I'm going to see what that adulterer and prostitute can do to me! Besides, you don't want to look at me The dignified young master of the Xue family died on your territory for no reason, right? At that time, it will be difficult to explain to Prince Liang, right?"

How can King Liang care about your life, Xu Mo said silently in his heart.But he wanted to take care of this matter, especially the sad tone at night, Xu Mo didn't want her to complain for another ten or eight years.

Seeing that Young Master Xue couldn't come up with more words here, Xu Mo was ready to leave.

He glanced at Liu Zhen, and after gaining his approval, he said to Young Master Xue: "My lord, I will think of a way, but it will be dangerous. At that time, I will ask the servants to protect you. I hope the young master will avoid rebirth." Something happened."

The meaning is very clear, you can go, but you must be under the supervision of the government.

It was originally just a random gamble between Shen Yi and Xu Mo, but now it can no longer be ignored, it may involve a life.

After leaving Xue's mansion, Xu Mo came to Jishitang without stopping.Although it is said that "although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs", but in a small place like Qu County, the five internal organs are complete, but it only stays on "complete".There are clinics, private schools, pharmacies, wine shops, etc., but almost all of them are monopoly operations.

This Jishitang is the only clinic in Qu County, and it has been operating since the beginning of the dynasty.

The reason why I came to the clinic was to find out what happened to Mrs. Xue Shao's death.The story of Mr. Song and Ms. Zhong doesn't seem to stop until Ms. Zhong married Xue's family. What happened after that?And is Miss Zhong's "unspeakable disease" just driven by fate?

According to Young Master Xue's reaction just now, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?

Clinics are always the worst places in town.This day, Xu Mo also waited for a long time before finally waiting for Doctor Meng's little lunch break.

Dr. Meng is an old man over sixty years old. Although he has white hair, he is very energetic, and his face is kind and kind, which is more like a high-ranking monk.Accompanied by birth, old age, sickness and death every day, but it is also able to fully understand the way of life and death.

Xu Mo straight to the point and asked about Miss Zhong's illness ten years ago.

Dr. Meng didn't hide it either. It was indeed he who treated Ms. Zhong's disease back then. However, Ms. Zhong's disease was not as simple as a physical disease.If the heart is at ease, coupled with the later recuperation, he will not die, just like the current Young Master Xue.

"Did the couple suffer from a disease?" Xu Mo asked.

Doctor Meng nodded: "Yes. It's an infectious disease, and it's only contagious when a man and a woman have sex."

Xu Mo frowned: "Then where is the source of the disease?"

Dr. Meng did not answer this question directly, but made a detour and said very cryptically: "As far as I know, the girls in Goulan eight out of ten died because of this."

It goes without saying that it was that Young Master Xue who was restless and hooked up with Miss Hua and brought his illness back.

Xu Mo: "You said accumulating grievances became illnesses, so what do you say?"

"This disease will not kill people, but it will make people feel weak and easy to catch colds. As long as you take medicine every day, control your diet, and don't overindulge, you will be able to recover slowly. However, Mrs. Xue is a stubborn woman. For those who take the medicine on time, their diet becomes less and less day by day, and they are depressed every day, and eventually contract a serious disease, and there is no cure for it.”

Xu Mo murmured: "So, Mrs. Xue is not happy because her husband is out looking for flowers and flowers, but the person he loves can only think but not see..."

Doctor Meng seemed to have heard Xu Mo's self-talk, and heaved a long sigh: "This old man doesn't know anything about the things in the deep house."

After thanking Dr. Meng, Xu Mo and Liu Zhen left Jishi Clinic.

It was only then that Xu Mo remembered that Liu Zhen had been with him for a day.

"Brother Liu, do you have something to do when you come to the city? Don't delay, go."

Liu Zhen: "It's okay, the prince also asked me to see if there is anything I can do to help Mr. Xu."

"Hmm..." Xu Mo thought for a while, "Then I will trouble Brother Liu to take care of Young Master Xue."

Liu Zhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that it was really unreasonable for him to keep following like this, so he agreed.

As soon as he left, Xu Mo felt his body suddenly become heavier. He turned his head and saw Shen Yi entangled him impatiently, with a greedy expression on his face.

Xu Mo shook off him and walked forward.

Shen Yi called out behind him: "Where is Master Xu going?"

Xu Mo stopped, turned around, and smiled slightly: "Cuiyi Building."

Shen Yi frowned with displeasure.Is he still addicted?Do you just like the smell of rouge gouache there?

After returning from Cuiyi Building yesterday, Xu Mo has always been concerned about something.He always felt that there were some things that he had to ask Ruyue, and they were very important things.

It was still early in the day, so Xu Mo didn't pretend to be a guest at all, and just walked in the door and said that he wanted to ask Ruyue about something.

Unfortunately, that person was not there, and according to the sisters, he went to the street to buy makeup.

So Xu Mo sat in a guest room and waited.

Shen Yi was lying bored on the soft bed, playing with the flower hairpin used by his daughter on the table, not knowing which flower girl left it.

He asked the man sitting at the table in a lazy voice, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Mo glanced lightly at the man on the bed, he looked so comfortable as if this was his home.

"There is something I want to confirm."

"This matter may not necessarily be related to the girls here?" Shen Yi asked casually.

Xu Mo: "Not necessarily. But you remember, someone said that day that Ruyue has something to do with Young Master Xue."

Shen Yi let out a wanton laugh: "The young master looks like he has a kidney deficiency. He usually comes to this kind of place, and it's normal to have a relationship."

"Risue still has a herbal smell on her body." Xu Mo said again.After the song was played yesterday, when Ruyue approached the two of them, Xu Mo really smelled the smell of herbs.It stands to reason that the girl in Goulan always smells of powder and powder, and he felt very strange at that time, especially the strange thing was that the day before, where had he smelled this herbal smell.That's right, at the place of the puppeteer Mr. Song.

If Mr. Song has a relationship with Ruyue, and Ruyue has a relationship with Young Master Xue, plus Ms. Zhong's relationship... A relationship diagram can't help but appear in Xu Mo's mind. As for what will this relationship diagram lead to? The result is still unknown.

Xu Mo, who couldn't help but fall into his own world, suddenly felt a movement in his head, as if he had been poked by a sharp thorn.

As soon as he reached out, he held the other hand, which was extremely cold.

"..."

"Don't move, I'm going to comb your bun." A deep and pleasant voice came from above.

There was a row of black lines on Xu Mo's forehead.

Before he recovered, a mirror was handed to him.

The hair of the person in the mirror is raised up high, and a very beautiful bun is tied on the top, with a flower hairpin running across it. Although it is a hairpin for women, there is no incongruity at all, and it is even very beautiful. .

While I was thinking about it, he actually made such an impeccable bun?

Xu Mo really didn't know whether to praise that person for his good craftsmanship, or if he was too engrossed...

The man was still asking persistently, "How is it? Is it pretty?"

For some reason, Xu Mo's face turned red. In order to cover it up, he had to lower his head, and reached out to remove the mirror, noncommittal.

But he didn't want Shen Yi's face to come close to him, his face was full of embarrassment, he nodded frequently and said: "My vision is really good."

The slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes stared at Xu Mo as if he had a fever, he turned his head away uncomfortably, and said softly, "Don't make trouble."

When Shen Yi was about to continue molesting his lovely adult, the door opened with a "squeak".

When the visitor saw Xu Mo, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry to keep Master Xu waiting for so long."

To cover up his embarrassment, Xu Mo coughed twice.

Ruyue praised it quite a bit: "It's very suitable for adults. If adults don't dislike it, the little girl will give this hairpin to adults."

When Xu Mo heard this, his face blushed again, and he quickly reached out to remove the flower hairpin, letting his long hair hang down his shoulders, regardless of his image.

He got up and handed the hairpin to Ru Yue's hand, said awkwardly: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, there's no need."

Ruyue smiled, accepted the flower hairpin, and said seriously: "What is the lord looking for my little girl today?"

As soon as he mentioned the business, Xu Mo immediately put the embarrassment just behind him, as if it didn't exist at all just a second ago.

"I want to ask the girl about Young Master Xue."

The plump Goulan girl seemed to have known her intentions, she calmly poured a glass of wine for Xu Mo, and said slowly, "Master Xue is indeed my guest, but that's all."

"Miss Ruyue is a sensible person, so I won't make any detours. Do you know how Mrs. Xue died?"

This sentence made Ruyue twitch the corner of her mouth, and this awkward look fell into Xu Mo's eyes, he knew it, she must know it.

Ruyue simply raised the corner of her mouth, and she didn't intend to hide her embarrassment: "The customer pays, we contribute, and the rest of the things, the little girl can't take care of too much."

Xu Mo: "How long ago did you know Young Master Xue?"

Kisaragi: "It's been five years. But the young master's illness must have been heard by the adults. We rarely have such a thing, especially in the past two years, his health is getting worse and worse, let alone being able to do it. That's it."

Xu Mo's eyes were fixed on Kisaragi's face, this was a habit of his asking questions.He didn't want to let go of any expression on the other's face, even if it was just a slight wink.

Kisaragi felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she couldn't help but look away, and looked to the lower right.

"Then, may I ask, does Miss Ruyue know that puppeteer, Mr. Song?" Xu Mo's questions have always been so straight-forward without turning corners, and this kind of questioning has indeed bluffed many people.

This person in front of him should also be enlightened.She subconsciously covered her waist with her hand, which seemed unnatural.Xu Mo immediately winked at Shen Yi.

As Xu Mo expected, Ruyue shook her head and said, "I don't know you."

"Then I would like to ask again, is Miss Ruyue suffering from illness for a long time and needs medical treatment?"

Kisaragi was startled, and remained silent for a long time, as if wondering why the lord would ask such a question.

Xu Mo saw that she didn't answer for a long time, so he continued the conversation himself: "If I offend you, I hope the girl will forgive me. I only have this doubt because I smell the faint smell of herbs on the girl's body."

The girl twitched the corners of her mouth, but her rouge-red face was a little pale at this moment.She gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and replied: "My lord is really amazing, this smell should be from this purse." Then, she took out a small green sachet from her waist, and continued: "Little girl When I was young, I had a serious illness and almost died. After narrowly escaped death, a caring person gave me this purse, saying that it can be worn close to the body to take care of the body. It has been worn for more than ten years."

The small sachet is a style that can be seen everywhere on the street stalls, there is nothing special about it.The herbs in it are also generally known to prolong life.

Xu Mo took the purse in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully for a long while, and returned it to Ruyue. After a few words of greeting, he didn't continue the topic.

Because Shen Yi had already stuffed another thing into his arms.
