Well of Mystery

The conversation about the jealous woman continued, and Bai Xiuqi on the side began to ponder the meaning of the conversation——

Although poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts also hurt people's lives, they have now become protected animals.From the perspective of voles and hares, should we protest that this protective behavior of humans threatens their lives?

So is the relationship between jealous women and Jinshen the same as that between poisonous snakes and voles?And who is the sacred hand that controls or breaks the balance of species?

He froze for a moment, and immediately began to criticize his own wild thinking.As a human being, isn't it natural to think from a human standpoint?

But Jiang Chenglu, who obviously has a good impression of ghosts, does he also think from the standpoint of human beings?

The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, he simply opened his mouth and asked, "What should we do next?"

Jiang Chenglu was obviously thinking about the same question.

"Jealousy is very dangerous, and now it has Puwei as its helper. If you leave it alone, it's hard to say whether something more serious than this will happen in the future. The girl Wang Qingzhi's treatment of Li Kun Resentment is not so easy to eliminate, it is better to go and have a look."

"But we don't know where it is." Le Yaochun interrupted again: "There are the most water pools in the Jiangnan area. How about finding the Year of the Monkey?"

"Maybe we can start with Wang Qingzhi." Bai Xiuqi stared at Li Kun who shrank aside: "It's been more than a month since she had an accident, don't you know?"

"I don't know. I haven't been in touch since we broke up that day." Li Kun was anxious to get rid of the relationship.

"Her family hasn't looked for you either?"

"No, she lives alone...no one has ever looked for me."

Although he denied it, Li Kun's expression showed that he was obviously hiding something.Finally, under Bai Xiuqi's pressure, he confessed completely: "Well, when I was dating her, I used a separate mobile phone number. After we broke up, I cut the card directly, so we have never been in touch."

"Scumbag, lose points." An Shande snorted coldly.

Although Li Kun's line is broken, it does not mean that Wang Qingzhi's family has not reported missing persons to the police.So the work was assigned to Tao Chuan again, and he was asked to inquire about the relevant report information through the internal system of the public security.If the location where Wang Qingzhi last appeared can be determined, it must be of great help to find the location of Ju Fujin.

But that's tomorrow's day job.

After hastily tidying up the mess, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.Li Kun was arranged to spend the night in the Taobao store, and everyone else went back to their own homes to rest.

Bai Xiuqi followed Jiang Chenglu back upstairs, and the impact just now had a certain impact on this small dilapidated room.The window frame on the stove was smashed, broken glass spilled all over the floor, and the pillow and quilt that Bai Xiuqi took out just now were covered with a thin layer of dust.

"It was a waste of time to take a shower just now." Jiang Chenglu smiled wryly as he walked inside: "Fortunately, all the good clothes you bought have already been collected—"

He stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and looking forward along his line of sight, Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The wooden shelf on the wall fell down, and the offerings of joss sticks spilled all over the altar, and the most important wooden box fell upside down on the altar.

Jiang Chenglu's face suddenly became ugly.In two or three steps, he ran to the altar and knelt down, straightened and picked up the box with both hands.

Bai Xiuqi saw from a distance that the wrapped brocade had fallen, revealing the black lacquer on the surface of the box and the pattern of mother-of-pearl inlaid on the lacquer.

He has seen more than one mother-of-pearl lacquer box before, and the mosaic and inlays are all traditional Chinese auspicious patterns.But the lacquer box in front of him is quite different—in fact, this is the first time Bai Xiuqi has seen Taoist runes inlaid with mother-of-pearl.

There was no lock on the lacquered box, and there was not even a place to open it.Jiang Chenglu's hand gently stroked the surface of the box, as if he was looking for any tiny cracks that could not be detected by the naked eye through his sense of touch.Bai Xiuqi saw something from his expression, and sighed softly.

"You want to make sure, right? Make sure that nothing inside has been broken. If you find it inconvenient, I can avoid it first."

With that said, he got up and was about to walk out the door.

"No need." Jiang Chenglu shook his head, "You don't need to avoid it, just turn off the light for me."

Although he didn't know the meaning of turning off the lights, Bai Xiuqi did it anyway.Back to the dark room, there was silence. With the dim light from outside, Bai Xiuqi vaguely saw Jiang Chenglu gently put the lacquer box back on the altar table, and then gently lifted the box lid up.

A faint, ice-blue light streamed from the open gap of the lacquered box, as if the box contained a small nebula.Bai Xiuqi's eyes widened, and when he fully adapted to the light that was not too dazzling, a transparent box made of light blue glass or crystal appeared inside the lacquered box.

Because the box was transparent, he could see clearly what was in the box at a glance.

"This is..." His eyelids twitched suddenly: "Heart?"

Quietly placed in the transparent crystal box is indeed a human heart, without shrinkage or corruption, it seems to still maintain the freshness of the moment it was removed from the body, but it no longer beats.Jiangcheng Lu carefully observed the condition of his heart through the box, and managed to regain his composure after making sure that it had not been disturbed in any way.

"As you can see, this is a human heart." He explained in a low voice: "I didn't let you see it before because I didn't want to scare you. Although I don't know who this heart once belonged to, and how it got to me hands. But I know it's the most important thing to me."

Speaking of this, he smiled softly: "I used to think that this was my own heart, but Xiao Wei and the others said that my heart is still in my body and I haven't lost it..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chenglu suddenly noticed that the people around him were a little too quiet.

When he looked up, Bai Xiuqi had been staring at the heart in the box, his brows were slightly frowned, not simply frightened or curious.Five or six seconds later, Bai Xiuqi finally came back to his senses, lowered his voice and asked, "Can I touch this box? Just a little."

Jiang Chenglu nodded, and Bai Xiuqi, who got permission, gently put his hand on the surface of the crystal box.

Of course, nothing happened, the box still emitted a faint, soft cold light, and the heart inside the box remained motionless.

However, Bai Xiuqi was different.

The light blue light shone on that beautiful and handsome face, casting shadows of different shades.Jiang Chenglu suddenly felt that Bai Xiuqi's eyes were very bright, as if a starlight was being formed.Immediately afterwards, he saw that piece of starlight flowing down from Bai Xiuqi's eye sockets, sliding over the cheeks and corners of his mouth, and landing on the bed sheet.

"Are you crying?" He was stunned, "Why?"

"...What?" Bai Xiuqi suddenly came back to his senses, and looked back at him with wide-open eyes that were still full of tears: "What did you say?"

Jiang Chenglu didn't answer, he stretched out his index finger and scratched Bai Xiuqi's cheek.

"Tears, you cried."

Only then did Bai Xiuqi understand, she hastily stretched her sleeves, and wiped her face carelessly.

"What happened?" He himself was also surprised: "I just suddenly felt very uncomfortable and blocked, as if I was full of grievances and wanted to find someone to vent, but I couldn't say why."

"..."

Jiang Chenglu was lost in thought because of his words, but his hands didn't stop for a moment.Taking advantage of the light outside, he quickly covered the lacquer box and rewrapped the brocade on the surface.For the time being, place the box in the pile of books under the bed.

Bai Xiuqi next to him seemed to have not completely shaken off that inexplicable sadness, and sat with his pillow and quilt against the wall in a daze; coupled with the fact that the tears on his face were still wet, and his hair and clothes were messy, he looked weird sexy.

Jiangcheng Lu silently said a few words "color is emptiness", and then couldn't help but say "You old man poses as a girl like this to look cute, it's a bad idea".Sure enough, Bai Xiuqi returned to normal in a second, and threw his pillow over.

Looking back, today was really fulfilling.The modeling should also be done, the tomb has been swept, and even the little monsters have been killed, so the energy left to spend is naturally very limited.It didn't take long for the two of them to lie down in the same position as last night.

Bai Xiuqi's body was indeed extremely sleepy, but his spirit was still active.He took the initiative to ask: "Aren't you curious? The story of the owner of this heart?"

Jiang Chenglu's answer came from beside the pillow: "Curiosity, but no matter how curious you are, after so many years of looking at it, any thoughts have faded away. I know that I should guard it well. It's half instinct."

Bai Xiuqi listened to his words quietly, and opened his eyes to look at the pitch-black ceiling. Although a little hesitant, he still spoke of a possibility that had been lingering in his mind since just now.

"...Could it be your lover? She died, you can't forget him, so keep her heart until now?"

There was silence in the darkness for about two or three seconds, and then a chuckle sounded.

"I'm a pervert, me? There are so many couples in the world, and I've never seen anyone do this."

Speaking of this, he suddenly pushed Bai Xiuqi with his elbow, almost pushing him against the wall: "Besides, if it's really my lover, how could it make you feel like crying? Could it be a love triangle, eh Then you still said you liked me during the day... Tsk tsk, this problem is complicated."

"Shut up, Jiang Chenglu!"

The most embarrassing scene during the day was dug out to make fun of it, Bai Xiuqi really wanted to find a hole in the ground and jump into it.However, at the same time as embarrassed, he felt a little relieved.

Jiang Chenglu teased this incident, which may be a friendly hint, or a stimulating therapy—by joking, he convinced himself little by little that the confession was indeed just a nonsense about sex , then the embarrassment will naturally be resolved invisible.

Maybe it's the right thing to do.

Jiang Chenglu was still whispering something in his ear.Bai Xiuqi took a deep breath silently, thinking about how he would react if he were Jiang Chenglu.

Before he could figure it out, Jiang Chenglu was elbowing him again, almost poking him against the wall.Bai Xiuqi felt agitated, and suddenly said something that didn't go through his head——

"Shut up and sleep, I'll rape you again!"

When Bai Xiuqi said this sentence, he regretted it, and Jiang Chenglu also burst out laughing.

"No, hero, don't pity me just because I'm Jiaohua..."

"..."

Fuck his stimulation therapy, this guy is just kidding himself!

Bai Xiuqi, who has always been calm and calm, doesn't even know why she can't help being irritable when she meets Jiang Chenglu.Unable to figure out why, he simply lifted the quilt to cover his head and covered his face, and no matter what Jiang Chenglu said next, he resolutely pretended to be a hermit crab and remained silent.
