Well of Mystery

"..."

Bai Xiuqi reluctantly pushed Jiang Chenglu's claws away from his body, carefully got up and went to bed, took out the cigarette case and lighter that hadn't been used for several days from the bag, walked out the door lightly, and leaned on the railing of the corridor .

I don't know what time it is in the morning, but Xuanjing Apartment is still flickering with soul fire.A gust of cool wind blew by, and Bai Xiuqi felt that he was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just been salvaged from the canal.

Bai Xiuqi exhaled a smoke ring depressedly.

It's useless for me to be woken up by a nightmare even though I live in a big courtyard full of ghosts and ghosts.

But then again, Zhou Yiliang's case has passed, but why would he still have such a dream?Is it because of Li Kun's phone call in the morning, or because of another reason...

"It does."

Taking another puff of cigarette, Bai Xiuqi leaned on the railing and muttered to himself.He closed his eyes, and two faces were slowly forming in his mind, and slowly overlapping again.

Suddenly a voice sounded from behind his back.

"like what?"

"...!"

Bai Xiuqi was startled, the cigarette butt in his hand almost fell to the first floor.He turned his head quickly, facing Shang Jiang Chenglu's sleepy eyes.

"You want to scare me to death!" Bai Xiuqi lowered her voice and roared, "What the hell are you pretending to be up in the middle of the night?!"

"Aren't you the one who stays up most of the night?" Jiang Chenglu felt wronged, and reached out to touch Bai Xiuqi's arm: What's the matter with you?Night sweat?I am not happy at such a young age. "

"Please take happiness into your own hands."

Bai Xiuqi sneered and retorted, but still briefly recounted the dream just now.

"Oh, it's just a nightmare, it's normal and normal."

Before he finished listening, Jiang Chenglu showed a clear expression: "Tonight is Wang Ti's first seven days. You drank his blood when you were struggling in the canal seven days ago, and you had strange dreams at night when you returned to the soul. It's not surprising. Let's do this, tomorrow I'll find some medicinal ingredients to cook for you, and you'll be fine after you're overwhelmed by shock."

As he spoke, he wanted to grab Bai Xiuqi's shoulders again.

But Bai Xiuqi threw him away with one arm: "It's not just because of the blood and the first seven. I saw a person this morning. A person who looks like the actress Su Xue. But this person is a man, so I Guess he should be the male stuntman who called on Chao Wangti's mobile phone on the night of the murder."

"Where is he?" Jiang Chenglu asked.

"The jewelry market in Harbor City, he is the son of the boss there."

--------------------------------

Bai Xiuqi originally hoped that Jiang Chenglu would go to Harbor City with him immediately, but Jiang Chenglu gave a more rational choice.

"Why don't you go back now and continue to catch up on a good night's sleep. When the next day dawns, I will ask Le Yaochun to call the store. You don't need to be very tired to get in touch with that kid named Gongping."

Speaking of which, he patted Bai Xiuqi's back lightly, and yawned one after another, finally successfully reawakening Bai Xiuqi's drowsiness.

Bai Xiuqi originally thought that he would only take a nap for a few more hours.But when he opened his eyes again, it was already noon.

Golden sunlight streams in from overhead, through small windows in the outer wall.Dry out the pillow for a warm scent.He opened his eyes contentedly in this comfortable atmosphere.Soon there was a "terrible" smell.

It's not the rotting smell of corpses, it's not the smell of foxes... It's the smell of dead plants and animals mixed with dry remains.

Bai Xiuqi stood up straight from the door, and saw Jiang Chenglu standing by the stove.He was holding up a sand pot and pouring out thick black concoction.

It is traditional Chinese medicine.

Of course, it was not the first time for Bai Xiuqi to take traditional Chinese medicine, but it was the first time he had smelled such a pungent medicinal smell. It seemed that he could understand the terrifying ingredients in it just by imagining it.

But he still couldn't help asking one more question: "What are you cooking?"

"The medicine for you to suppress shock." Jiang Chenglu replied naturally: "The medicine may be a bit bitter. I put in a little less water, and I will give you candy when it dries up."

Just at this point, I saw a large piece of medicine dregs falling from the spout of the pot into the medicine bowl.Jiang Chenglu quickly fished it out and put it aside. When Bai Xiuqi saw it, his head buzzed and he was stunned.

It was a small piece of jawbone.There is still a tooth attached to it.

"I'll go! I won't drink! I won't drink! I won't drink even if I'm killed!"

Shouting the slogan of resisting to the death, Bai Xiuqi backed away on hands and feet, wishing he could get out of the narrow window hole in the wall.

Of course Jiang Chenglu would not let him go just like that, and came over to arrest him as soon as he put the medicine bowl on the table.

"Just kidding, this is the spirit bone of a six-eared macaque. It is boiled with eight-leaf ginseng and many other precious medicinal materials. It is a must-have medicine for home travel and killing people. Quick, come over and make this bowl!"

"No! I'm not sick!" Bai Xiuqi stubbornly resisted.

"Heal the sick and strengthen the body without the sick!"

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, taking medicine on an empty stomach will ruin my stomach!"

"This medicine is perfect and nourishing, and it can also cure stomach problems!"

As he said that, Jiang Chenglu had already run over to arrest him, grabbed his arm and dragged him to the edge of the table.

Bai Xiuqi raised his hand and wanted to overturn the table, but Jiang Chenglu quickly snatched the medicine bowl, "Gudu" took a big gulp first.

What's going on?

Bai Xiuqi's confusion didn't last long - because Jiang Chenglu's head had already moved closer and met his lips firmly and firmly.

... We share weal and woe, perhaps this is the case.

Bai Xiuqi comforted herself that at least one idiom can be learned and used now.

After several deep kisses in succession, the bowl of medicine finally came to an end.Before the real drug users clamored for sweets, Jiang Chenglu, who took the initiative to feed the drug, rushed to the water faucet, howled and began to rinse his mouth.

"No promise."

Bai Xiuqi cursed, and went to the stove to find some leftovers to neutralize the bitterness in his mouth, but saw a small plate on top of the gas stove, the inside of which was in the shape of a ball, small hail A translucent white object.

"Eat this eat this."

Speaking of which, Jiang Chenglu had picked up something and stuffed it on Bai Xiuqi's lips, forcing him to open his mouth to accept it.The seemingly cold balls are surprisingly soft and sweet in the mouth, but they are neither sticky like glutinous rice dumplings, nor sweet and hard like rock sugar.

Bai Xiuqi yelled "delicious" in his heart, and then bit off the agar-like translucent soft shell on the surface of the ball.After a clear and full sound, the sweet and sweet liquid hidden in the small ball burst out.Bai Xiuqi only felt a layer of goose bumps all over his body, and the fragrance left on his teeth and cheeks was beyond description.

The most amazing thing is that the hunger feeling after waking up has disappeared completely.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Xiuqi suddenly came back to his senses: "Where did you get so many messy things? What is this?"

Jiang Chenglu chuckled: "Is this? You must have heard of it, it's manna."

"Manna? The legendary auspicious sign?"

As a Chinese, Bai Xiuqi has of course heard of nectar, which is a delicacy bestowed by God that is said to be "as thick as fat and as sweet as sugar". Once it comes to the world, it means auspiciousness and peace.So, there are six different historical periods that have used "nectar" as a year name.Ganlin and Tianhan are not to be counted in detail.The most famous allusion is probably the Immortal Chenglu Pan of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

However, it is unknown whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty received the nectar falling from the sky.But there is no shortage of similar treasures, Jiang Chenglu.

"This nectar. It can be eaten raw, or it can be used to make sugar water or barbecued on a campfire. There are similar things abroad, called manna. There are a lot of them, but the quality is not good. The oil content is high, and eating too much is good for the heart." The blood vessels are not very good."

Jiang Chenglu spoke seriously, as if he was talking about the vegetables he bought from the Jiuli Huai vegetable market.

Speaking of which, he thought of something more important.

"By the way, I just asked Le Yaochun to call the Jewelry Store in Harbor City, but the other party said that the kid named Gongping packed his things and went back to the countryside last night. I can't get in touch, it seems that I have to wait."

"I only arrived in the morning. He packed up and left at night. Is this really just a coincidence?" Bai Xiuqi muttered to himself.

"Whether it's a coincidence or not is hard to say. But I asked his father, Gongping did not do his job properly before, and he did a martial arts stand-in for a period of time in the film and television city with three punches and two kicks. You are not mistaken."

anyway.Gong Ping this person can not be found for the time being.

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but feel a little regretful that the clues he finally picked up ended abruptly before he started tracing them back, but he still had more important things to do during this time.

Around seven o'clock in the morning, the interrupted power was restored.The Fox decoration team began to catch up with the progress frantically.The bathroom and laundry room, which were still covered with waterproof dressing when I went to see it yesterday, are now covered with tiles.

This reminded Bai Xiuqi that he still had a lot of miscellaneous little things that he hadn't made up his mind about the decoration of this house.

"Lamps, basins, home appliances, furniture..."

Because Jiangcheng Road does not allow unrelated merchants to enter Xuanjing Apartment, all material procurement and transportation are entrusted to Hu Li's minions.A Tu gave a website, saying that as long as there are items on this website, you can place an order, and as for the size, you only need to let A Tu coordinate.

When going to the hospital to have the stitches removed the day before yesterday, Bai Xiuqi brought a notebook from the bachelor apartment, so he quickly browsed the website while Jiang Chenglu was preparing breakfast for the foxes.To his surprise, the website not only has rich categories, but also has many famous brands.

Bai Xiuqi told himself to rest assured, monsters would not sell fakes.

The shopping list given by Atu before was not long, but it still took a lot of time to buy the details.Fortunately, Bai Xiuqi already had a rough plan, which saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The work of selecting goods lasted until four or five o'clock in the afternoon.Bai Xiuqi put down the computer, stood up and stretched his legs, and the phone in his pocket rang again.

"Did you watch my TV last night?!" Li Kun's excited voice rushed into Bai Xiuqi's ears along the radio waves.

"Look at you big-headed ghost." Bai Xiuqi said honestly: "Your father's people cut off the electricity in our area, and you still want me to watch you on TV?"

"Yo, I really didn't know about that!"

Li Kun immediately shouted his innocence: "Turn around and ask them, which one without eyes dared to break ground on the head of Tai Sui. I will find out tomorrow, and I will personally lead the door to make amends."

"There's no need to make amends." Bai Xiuqi shook his head through the phone: "The land of Xuanjing Apartment is now in my hands, and you can't tear it down even if you want to. As for Jiulihuai, you should discuss everything carefully. If you really can't solve it, just deal with it in business, don't use any dirty tricks, and accumulate some virtue for yourself."

"Okay, it's okay, no problem!"

Li Kun deserved the joy of being there, and then asked back: "Now you can always listen to my August [-] adventure last night, right? I'm a big-famous-man now!!"
