Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and Wu Yifu grasped a somewhat strange point about Wang Lei's words.Zhan Zhao noticed that Wang Lei said he knew "what took Qiu Yi away", and he said "what" instead of "who"...

Wu Yifu frowned, "Isn't it a human being who took Qiu Yi away?"

Wang Lei hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously.

……

After Bai Yutang knocked on the door, he heard footsteps, and then the door opened with a creak, and a well-dressed butler appeared behind the door, looked up and down at Bai Yutang and Tianzun at the door, and saw that they were all looking up. out of the corner of his eye.

Bai Yutang secretly laughed, it really is a rich family, and all the servants look like they have their eyes above their heads... Fifth Master was finally pushed up by Zhan Zhao, and his favorability with officials was lowered again.

"Find Wu Cai." Bai Yutang said directly.

Although the housekeeper had a feeling of power, but Bai Yutang had an extraordinary appearance after all, and he was not someone to be provoked at first glance, so he was a little more polite and asked, "Young master, what are you doing with my young master?"

Bai Yutang said, "Ask him something."

The butler heheed twice, "My young master is not here."

Bai Yutang nodded, took out the token to show him, and said, "Then find your master."

Seeing the token of Kaifeng Mansion, the steward was slightly stunned, and asked, "Are you... from Kaifeng Mansion?"

Tianzun stood behind Bai Yutang curiously and looked around.

Bai Yutang looked at the housekeeper briefly, and frowned, "Anyway, whether it's your young master or master, I want to see one."

The butler hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uh, well, let's talk about it later."

Bai Yutang and Tianzun followed the butler into the house, looking around, the courtyard is very elegant, it is not as grand as the corrupt official's house, it can be seen that it is a scholarly family.

The butler's expression has changed, and the smiling face seems to be close to Bai Yutang and Tianzun, "Then what... two young masters, I will take you to see my young master, but can you keep quiet? My master is very strict, young master I just received family law two days ago, if something happens to this, it will be bad."

Bai Yutang nodded, a little puzzled, "Why is your young master following the law?"

"Hey... Isn't it just a small matter of ordering sesame and mung beans." The housekeeper shook his head helplessly, "It's not easy for the young master, the master expects too much from him."

Bai Yutang didn't say anything more, he didn't see this kind of family very often, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Sometimes things are like this, for a child like Bao Yan, Mrs. Bao does not want him to be famous, but only hopes that he has a good character, while Mrs. Bao only wants him to be happy and happy, but he has become a great talent.And some people want to cultivate a great talent, but their children are just mediocre.

Like a dude like Pang Yu, when the prodigal son turned around, he became better.And a lot of things that were pretty good at first turned bad for some reason... This is more or less related to my parents. Expecting this kind of thing is sometimes too heavy, and it becomes a burden instead.If people are pushed too hard, they tend to rebound, and mutual understanding is the reasonable way to get along.

The housekeeper led the two of them into a courtyard, and saw a young scholar sitting in the courtyard, reading a book, raised his head and saw someone coming, frowning slightly—as if he didn't like to be disturbed.

But when he saw clearly the two behind the butler, he was also a little surprised.

When Bai Yutang and Tianzun suddenly appeared in front of people's eyes, to use the saying that Xiaosi often used, they would not be able to react at once, thinking that the gods had descended to earth.

Bai Yutang was also observing Wu Cai, this scholar looked pretty good, with a good appearance, a little proud between his brows...

Lord Bao, Gongsun and Bao Yan, including Wu Yifu, are all nerds who are rare in this world, to be precise, they are great talents.According to Bai Yutang's observation, highly talented people usually have something in common. The arrogance of a scholar is the same as the beauty of a beauty. Strange, usually have some supernatural powers.

After Wu Cai looked at the two of them, he looked at the butler suspiciously.

The butler leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

Wu Cai frowned slightly, nodded to signal him to serve tea, then compared to Bai Yutang and Tianzun across the table, signaling them to sit down.

Bai Yutang sat down, but Tianzun ran aside.

Both Wu Cai and Bai Yutang looked over suspiciously, and saw that Tianzun seemed to be attracted by a blooming wintersweet tree nearby.He put his hands behind his back to look at the tree, and leaned over to smell it.

Wu Cai was slightly distracted, the way Tianzun bowed his head and smelled the plum blossoms was so beautiful that it was unreal.

"Cough cough."

Bai Yutang coughed lightly, Wu Cai came back to his senses, looked at Bai Yutang, "Uh...you are official servants?"

Bai Yutang didn't answer either, since he doesn't talk much anyway, it's annoying to go back and forth explaining things, so he said bluntly, "I want to ask about Qiu Yi's disappearance."

Wu Cai was taken aback for a moment, Tianzun turned his head, just saw his expression, and smiled faintly—oh, this kid seems to know something.

Bai Yutang waved to Tianzun, signaling him to come and sit down.

Tianzun ran over and sat down beside Bai Yutang.

At this time, the butler brought tea, and Tianzun took a cup and smelled it, raised his eyebrows, "Hmm! Wushan Yunxia... good tea."

Wu Cai seemed a little hesitant and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Bai Yutang could also see that he was hiding something, and looked at the small decorations on the table, and suddenly had an idea, so he asked, "Is it you who stole the book that day?"

As soon as Bai Yutang's words came out, Wu Cai was stunned, and the butler who was pouring tea at the side lost his grip on the lid of the teapot, and it shattered with a bang.

The butler hurriedly tidied things up and said, "Your...Don't talk nonsense, my lord, how could our young master steal books..."

Bai Yutang and Tianzun understood - that's how it was.

Wu Cai was also quite helpless, and asked the butler to step down first.He was also calm, nodded to Bai Yutang and Tianzun, and said, "That's right, I was the one who stole the book."

"Why did you frame Qiu Yi?" Bai Yutang was happy to see the progress.

Wu Cai frowned and shook his head, "It's not that I framed him, but...he disappeared. Others said that he stole the book...I didn't explain anymore."

While drinking tea, Tianzun asked, "You are so rich, why are you stealing?"

Bai Yutang glanced at Tianzun, what does that mean - it's more important for us to ask serious things.

Tianzun blinked at him, with an obvious meaning - what do you want to express, I can't understand it, and I'm not your cat.

Bai Yutang was powerless.

Wu Cai blushed slightly, and sighed, "I don't know, I will steal things without knowing it, and if I don't steal, I will feel uncomfortable and panic."

Tianzun thought for a while, and said, "Do you think that is very exciting?"

Wu Cai was taken aback.

Tianzun continued to drink tea, "Oh, I have an old friend, he is a thief."

While talking, he chatted with Bai Yutang, "Does Qian Guazi know?"

Bai Yutang Wangtian, Qian Guazi is an alias, and his real name is Qian Huai. He is a famous thief, because he can steal the only golden melon seed from a carload of real melon seeds silently, so people in the world call him Qian Guazi. .Although he is regarded as the descendant of Tianzun, if he is still alive, he must be over a hundred years old.

"My friend was just like you when he was a child. The adults in his family were very strict, and he always pretended to be perfect." Tianzun shook his head, "Then I don't know why, but I got into kleptocracy. Powerful, until he became a gentleman on Liangshang, and later became the number one thief in Jianghu, so..."

Tianzun put down the teacup and nodded to Wu Cai, "You still have a future!"

Bai Yutang supported his forehead.

Wu Cai couldn't laugh or cry, is this irony?

Bai Yutang put an orange in front of Tianzun's eyes, which meant—eat, shut up!

Tianzun ate the orange with his mouth flattened, and said to himself, that old ghost Yinhou would be better off, that little bastard Yutang wouldn't even let him speak.

"Talk about Qiu Yi." Bai Yutang asked, "Do you know where he went?"

"He... was taken away." Wu Cai seemed a little flustered, and his face changed, "You can't find him, he won't come back..."

Bai Yutang looked at him, "Do you know that Lelin County loses a scholar every year during Chinese New Year?"

Wu Cai shuddered, seeming very frightened, "This really has nothing to do with me..."

"You say it, I'll judge whether it matters or not." Bai Yutang urged him, "Hurry up."

Wu Cai looked at Bai Yutang.

Tianzun added fuel and vinegar to the side, "You still have to say, he has a bad temper."

Bai Yutang gave Tianzun a sideways look, and Tianzun peeled the oranges.

Wu Cai sighed, "You don't understand, it's not human beings who took those scholars away."

Bai Yutang was taken aback.

Tianzun chewed on the orange—oh, it's wonderful!

……

"It's not a human being who took Qiu Yi away, so what is it?" Zhan Zhao asked in bewilderment after hearing Wang Lei's words.

"It's a puppet!" Wang Lei said.

The corner of Wu Yifu's mouth twitched, looked at Zhan Zhao, and raised his eyebrows at him—meow, there seems to be something wrong with this brain!

Zhan Zhao also felt puzzled, "Why are puppet arresting scholars?"

"This matter is a local legend, and our parents all know it." Wang Lei told Zhan Zhao and Wu Yifu a story that happened a long time ago.

Many years ago, there was a scholar in Lelin County who was proficient in carpentry and was very intelligent.After he got married and gave birth to a son, the family of three lived a very prosperous life.However, when his son was six years old, there was a sudden fire and his son died in the sea of ​​fire.

The scholar was distraught, and since then he has been depressed, crying and thinking about his son all day long.

One day, when the scholar was going out, he saw a burnt puppet on the side of the road. It was probably because some craftsman's house was flooded, and half of the puppet was burnt, so it was thrown on the side of the road.

The scholar picked up the puppet, and inexplicably thought of his son, so he took the puppet home.

The scholar repaired the puppet meticulously, put clothes on it, and held it in a daze all day long.Afterwards, the scholar often talked to the puppet, telling how he missed his son... until one night, the puppet suddenly spoke.

Zhan Zhao and Wu Yifu were shocked when they heard this.

Reminiscent of Bai Yutang's evaluation of the puppet before, Zhan Zhao now has a few llamas galloping in his chest—in the middle of the night, the puppet started talking? !

"The puppet called him father, and the voice and tone of his voice were exactly the same as his dead son." Wang Lei said.

Wu Yifu frowned, "Then the scholar is thinking about his son's gains and losses, is he crazy?"

Wang Lei spread his hands, "Then I don't know, it's just a legend, but since having that puppet, the scholar's mood has gradually improved, and he takes the puppet with him all day long, just like when he was with his son before. After a year or so, the scholar’s ​​life returned to normal. Not long after, his wife became pregnant again and had a second child. Ten months later, the child was born, a healthy and lovely boy. The scholar felt that he They are alive again, and the family of three can live happily again."

Zhan Zhao and Wu Yifu stared at him—is it a good ending to dare love?

"It's just..." Wang Lei changed the subject, "After the scholar had his second son, he began to alienate and ignore that puppet."

Zhan Zhao and Wu Yifu frowned—this is understandable, after all, one is alive and the other is wood.

"The puppet started to be jealous of his young son, and even attacked the baby..." Wang Lei said, "In the end, the scholar threw the puppet into the fire and burned it."

Zhan Zhao and Wu Yifu raised their eyebrows - oops!Prelude to haunting!

"Afterwards... it was also when the New Year's Eve was approaching." Wang Lei sighed, "The scholar's house suddenly caught fire, and the whole family was buried in the flames. It is said that those who participated in the firefighting that night said that the fire was very special. In the flames, they saw I saw the figure of a child, hazy and flickering, like a ghost."

"Child?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"About eight or nine years old." Wang Lei said, "If the scholar's first son doesn't die, he should be eight or nine years old."

Zhan Zhao felt goose bumps all over his body.

"Besides, that child is like a puppet, with weird postures and scorched scars on his body..." Wang Lei sighed, "Since then, there have been legends about this ghost puppet."

"Ghost puppet?" Wu Yifu raised his voice a little.

"Lelin County also lost a scholar before. It is said that the puppet missed his father, so he found a scholar to replace him." Wang Lei said, "That day...Wu Cai said that he saw a blackened wooden man and put his Qiu Yi took it away."

Zhan Zhao and Wu Yifu opened their mouths and looked at each other - speechless.

……

"You saw the puppet capture Qiu Yi?" After hearing Wu Cai's narration, Tianzun forgot to eat half of the orange, and opened his mouth in surprise.

Bai Yutang also felt puzzled, "How did the puppet catch people? Where did they catch them?"

Wu Cai frowned and said, "I saw him dragging Qiu Yi into the alley. I stole things, usually small things that would not be discovered. During that time, I was locked up in the academy to study, and there was no other place Go, I stole the book by accident. If Uncle Cai found out the next day, I would be miserable, so I wanted to secretly return the book that night. But when I walked near the hospital, I saw this In the first scene, I was so frightened that I just turned around and ran away..."

Bai Yutang remained silent—as expected, he found the real book thief, and he did know some important clues, but he never expected that the one who captured Qiu Yi... was a puppet!
