lost to time

Wu Xie fell down on the sofa with his eyes darkened, and he heard Zhang Qishan's steady breathing, undulating like the thin waves when the ocean is calm, and his heart gradually calmed down.The blood in the neck was briefly held down, coupled with Wu Xie's previous emotional agitation, it took two or three minutes to recover. Wu Xie looked closely at the face that was close at hand. The stubborn Master Zhang couldn't help but sighed in despair and closed his eyes again.

"Is it better?" Zhang Qishan squatted in front of the sofa with some doubts, did he strike too hard?Just like this, I was dizzy for a long time, too weak to hold back the wind.

"Well." Wu Xie refused to open his eyes, the environment in front of him was not dangerous, and it was only a moment to escape.

After asking a few words, there was no response, Zhang Qishan scratched his hair impatiently, what kind of opponent he had never seen before, why did he feel helpless this time.After thinking for a while, he became annoyed, grabbed Wu Xie's arm and pulled it up, saying: "What kind of corpse, if you have something to say, you can fart! There are still clams in the world that I can't pry open?"

Judging from Wu Xie's words and performance before, Zhang Qishan concluded that this young man was in trouble, but why worry about trouble? What troubles are there on the ground that Master Zhang is unable to handle?What's more, this young man was thrown into the courtyard of his own house, so it's hard to say whether this trouble is related to him.

"Okay! Let me tell you!" Wu Xie broke free from Zhang Qishan's restraint, "If you believe me, I dare to say it!"

Zhang Qishan waved his hand, "I've been traveling all these years, I haven't seen anything weird and weird, I really don't believe anything can scare me."

Since the little brother disappeared, the fat man has dragged Wu Xie into a few small fights, earning a lot of money every time, and it really feels like I have something in the world.There was nothing strange about Xiaodou this time, but the coffin was extraordinarily heavy, and there were several jade bracelets on the arms of the corpse.Enough and out of reach, moving and unable to move.The fat man said that he had a cold recently and was weak, so he just came up with a bad idea, saying that he could just get in through the gap that was removed. The corpses inside were all rotten and only bones remained, so there was nothing to worry about.In this era when body shape determines everything, such a difficult task can only be entrusted to Wu Xie.Unexpectedly, just as Wu Xie bent down and got in, thinking about gaining weight before the next fight, the coffin above his head suddenly collapsed.Zhang Qishan knew all about what happened next.Wu Xie tried his best to explain the important things clearly, Zhang Qishan touched his nose and sat on the armrest of the sofa, crossing his legs and thinking.

"So you think it's weird?"

"Say." Zhang Qishan ordered concisely.

"guess who I am?"

"Wu Xie."

Wu Xie was taken aback, wishing he could slap himself in the mouth, "I mean, guess who Wu Xie is?"

"I don't guess."

"—"

Wu Xie was in a hurry. He had learned what it means for a scholar to meet a soldier. "Old dog Wu." Wu Xie only said a name coldly, Zhang Qishan was stunned, and immediately frowned, "Are you from the fifth child?"

Zhang Qishan clasped his hands and rubbed them non-stop. From Er Yuehong to Gou Wu, this matter quickly involved the relationship between Lao Jiumen. It seems that what Qi Tiezui said was wrong. This train was not only for him, the Buddha. , I'm afraid it's aimed at the whole Old Nine Gates.

"Well, I'm his grandson."

"Who?"

"Old Dog Wu."

"Who?" Zhang Qishan couldn't believe his ears.

"Old Dog Wu!"

"Hmm." After confirming that he heard correctly, Zhang Qishan was surprisingly calm, stared at Wu Xie's face carefully, then nodded with a suppressed smile, and reached out to touch Wu Xie's head, "Old five's grandson, be good—— I am your great grandfather."

Good girl——Wu Xie feels that the whole person is not well. "I'm going to find my grandpa." Wu Xie was about to stand up as he spoke, but Zhang Qishan pressed his shoulders and pressed back on the sofa as soon as his buttocks moved.

"Lao Wu went to the lama a few days ago and hasn't come back yet. It's very chaotic outside. You made a mistake when you ran out like this. How can I explain to Lao Wu? You stay here for now, and I will take you when Lao Wu comes back. Go find him."

Although Zhang Qishan said that everything was reasonable, he really seemed like an elder caring for the younger generation, but the strength of his subordinates restrained Wu Xie from moving.Resisting himself to scream out the pain, Wu Xie forced a smile and said, "Okay then, thank you—Grandpa!"

"Good grandson—I'll get someone to prepare bath water for you and change your clothes. You should have a good rest first." After speaking, ignoring Wu Xie's protest, he called the housekeeper to make arrangements, and found two soldiers to accompany Wu Xie to "chat" relieve boredom".

It was a non-stop night, Zhang Qishan walked out of the study with his shoulders loose, to see how the moon was setting, he wondered how much news he could get back tomorrow.In front of him were two rows of soldiers standing guard around the coffin. Zhang Qishan stood on the steps, silently turning his eyes away from them, and looking farther and farther outside the wall.

"Buddha." Only the adjutant came back, interrupting Zhang Qishan's thoughts lightly, "There is nothing unusual."

"So, it really didn't come in from the outside?"

"Unless he can fly."

The adjutant's humor is always so strange, Zhang Qishan gouged it out.

"Buddha." The adjutant quickly turned serious, "There are more important things right now, why don't you find a place to lock him up first?"

Zhang Qishan folded his arms and leaned against the pillar beside the porch, "No, that kid said he was Gou Wu's grandson, so he thought he was my treasure ("stupid" in Changsha dialect)! But he does look a bit like Lao Wu. , Tomorrow you send someone to check his background, I have met several brothers of the fifth brother, check to see if there are any distant cousins ​​and the like."

"Yes."

"By the way, don't let the fifth child find out." Zhang Qishan chased after thinking about it.

As soon as the day dawned, fearing that things would be overwhelming, Zhang Qishan wandered slowly, when he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the ear room, it seemed that the butler had already made arrangements.Suddenly Zhang Qishan flashed a thought as if possessed, maybe he could secretly check to see if there is anything hidden in his clothes, maybe there is a clue.Although the idea was absurd, but he couldn't let it go, Zhang Qishan was not one to hesitate, so he walked over immediately.

Gently pushed the door of the side room open a crack, two soldiers were standing inside the door, following Zhang Qishan's order and guarding every inch of it.I wanted them to look for it, but after thinking about it, I didn't know what they were looking for, so it would be a waste of time to ask them to do it.So Zhang Qishan hooked his fingers outside the crack of the door and let the two of them come out quietly.

Zhang Qishan walked in on tiptoe, across from the bathtub in the ear room was a green and white jade mandarin duck landscape screen, and beside the screen was Wu Xie's coat.
