[Old Nine Gates] Homecoming

After a while of silence, Yu Manli walked out with her toiletry bag.

Zhang Qishan followed behind Manli.

"I really didn't know there was someone in there." Zhang Qishan walked up the stairs calmly with his hands behind his back.

Yu Manli didn't answer.Zhang Qishan said again: "I didn't know there was a bathroom either."

Yu Manli responded this time.She turned her head and looked over Zhang Qishan's shoulder at Qi Tiezui behind him: "You and Boss Qi seem to be quite familiar." The implication was that since she knew the boss, how could she not know the structure of the inn.

This lied a little too much.

Without waiting for Zhang Qishan to answer, Yu Manli asked, "Have you always been the one who only apologizes when you do something wrong?"

Zhang Qishan was at a loss for words for a while, and choked out a sentence: "I don't often apologize to people."

Qi Tiezui at the back couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: What kind of nonsense answer is that.It turned out that I always heard people say that the Buddha is fierce, and the little girls within a few hundred miles only dare to look at him and dare not chase after him. If they see that the Buddha is also so cowardly, they will probably slap their mouths with regret.

"Oh," Yu Manli strode into the room, "It seems that an apology is very expensive, and I can't afford it."

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang, shutting out the word "I" that Zhang Qishan hadn't had time to utter.

Qi Tiezui leaned on the door frame next door to watch the excitement, shaking a plantain fan coquettishly: It's cool, after so many years, someone finally deflated the Buddha.

Just as he was enjoying himself, the door opened again.Qi Tiezui said no, or was he captured by the Buddha?

Unexpectedly, Yu Manli's eyes searched around in the corridor, and finally fixed on Qi Tiezui: "Boss Qi, the door lock of the bathroom downstairs is broken, please fix it in time." After speaking, there was another "boom" With a bang, the door was slammed mercilessly.

Qi Tiezui hurriedly responded "Yes", and then went to look at Zhang Qishan, his face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face.

Choked first, then ignored.

Qi Tiezui stepped forward and patted Zhang Qishan on the shoulder, shaking his head: "Buddha, I said earlier that today is a bad day, and it is not suitable to go out. You should go back earlier." What he thought in his heart was, hehe, you will have such a day too.

Zhang Qishan handed it over with a sharp eye, Qi Tiezui hurriedly fell silent.

Zhang Qishan took a few steps to the side, leading Qi Tiezui over.Then he took out a plum blossom nail from the cuff and spread it out in the palm of his hand: "Fortune teller, what do you think this is?"

Qi Tiezui followed, and when he saw the thing, he couldn't help being surprised: Zhang Qishan's hand was nothing but the upside-down golden nail of the Huo family in the Nine Gates!

A few days ago, the Huo family was stolen, and among the lost items were a few plum blossom nails.

Qi Tiezui covered his mouth, with an expression of disbelief: "Lord Buddha...you don't like Huo Xiangu, so you steal her things." Tsk tsk, in order to prove that I didn't like another girl because I didn't love one girl, Lord Buddha is a bit stuck today.

Zhang Qishan glanced at Qi Tiezui, and lowered his voice: "I just took it off the bathroom door lock."

Qi Tiezui's mind turned, "You mean, this is hers?" Qi Tiezui pointed to Yu Manli's room through the plantain fan.

"The Huo family was stolen. She happened to have something from the Huo family on her body, and then she found you by coincidence. Do you think there are so many coincidences in the world?"

"So what Buddha means is that she came for our Nine Gates?" Qi Tiezui had to admit that Zhang Qishan was still the same Zhang Qishan. How could Zhang Qishan, known as Buddha, be dumbfounded by a woman.

Zhang Qishan nodded and walked towards Qi Tiezui's room.

Qi Tiezui blocked the door with a stride: "Where is Buddha going?"

Zhang Qishan answered logically: "Sleep. We are in the dark, she is in the light, and I can't escape her."

Qi Tiezui coughed twice: "This seems to be my room."

"I know, it's not crowded for two people to live in one room." Zhang Qishan glanced at the room, it was quite spacious and tidy, and there was a spare bed in the corner.

Qi Tiezui pushed his glasses: "Buddha, I don't like sleeping with other people."

"After marrying a wife and not sleeping together?"

Qi Tiezui chuckled: "The Buddha is joking, you are not my wife."

"Oh?" Zhang Qishan raised his eyebrows, then pulled Qi Tiezui's shoulders outward, "Then I'll sleep here, and you go to another room."

Qi Tiezui gritted his teeth: You have the ability to oppress me, you have the ability to oppress her!Coward!

Then he obediently went into the house and set up the spare bed...

-

Yu Manli sat on the bed, wrapping her wet hair in a towel.

The mountaineering bag was placed obliquely at the head of the bed, and several zippers were pulled tightly.

Yu Manli pulled off the hiking bag and put the toiletry bag in it.

The two side bags of the mountaineering bag hold daily necessities, maps and compass, etc., the top bag holds a camera, the main bag is equipped with lamps, and the bottom is filled with a change of clothes and a sleeping bag.And between the two of the main bag, there is a separate compartment.

Yu Manli opened the compartment, which contained a coil of rope and several plum blossom nails.

And behind this, there is a thin interlayer.

After thinking for a while, Yu Manli finally unzipped the zipper slowly and carefully, and took out a photo from it.The black-and-white photo shows a man and a woman, both wearing formal dresses.It seems to be taking a wedding photo, but the appearance is very ridiculous - the man is pulling the lace of the woman's wedding dress, reaching out to cover the camera, while the woman is turning her back to the man, with an anxious expression on her face, as if she was secretly photographed.

Yu Manli curled her lips, caressing a name in the lower right corner: Mingtai.

Suddenly frowning: the woman in the photo is me, but who is Mingtai?

Yu Manli tried her best to recall, trying to find some clues from a corner of her mind.But after a while, there was a buzzing in her ears again, the sound was so loud that she couldn't think at all.And this voice has been with her for three years.

Three years ago, she woke up in a tomb. In the endless darkness, Yu Manli, who was like a newborn baby, had no body and no memory—all she knew was that she was a human being, she could speak, and she could move freely. But who she is, where she came from, and where she is going is completely unknown.All her possessions are this photo, the purse embroidered with a sein, and four plum blossom nails and a coil of rope lying quietly beside her.

At that time, a voice always came to her from time to time, as if controlling her to do something with her mind.And whenever she tried to recall the past, there would be a huge roar, like the humming of a bronze fan bell, ringing from her ears all the way to her brain.

She also tried to get rid of the voice that controlled her, but the result was that if she didn't listen to that voice, she often woke up from that tomb for no reason, and everything seemed to start from scratch.

Yu Manli was never a person who would bow to fate, she had to figure out all this, she had to know who she was, and who was the person who controlled her.So she chose to listen to the voice temporarily, and then slowly searched for the trace to find the truth.

She didn't know if what she was doing was the right thing to do, and she didn't know if she could succeed.But she really had no other choice.

Yu Manli sighed, and put the photo back into the interlayer.

However, when the photo was put back, Yu Manli was surprised to find that one of the four plum blossom nails was missing.Must have knocked the bathroom door just now and forgot to take it back.

That person who jumped out of nowhere really messed her up!

Yu Manli hurriedly closed her backpack and jumped out of bed to go out to look for it.There was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Yu Manli quickly grasped the dagger and asked vigilantly.

Qi Tiezui replied from outside the door: "I, Boss Qi, you left something in the bathroom, and I'll bring it to you."

Yu Manli didn't have a bad impression of Qi Tiezui.It is rare for a person to travel all over the world and walk alone, and treat others openly when they meet for the first time, so she is willing to be more polite to Qi TieZui.What's more, she still wanted Qi Tiezui.In the past few years, she has actually been inquiring about the whereabouts of Qi's family. She thought, maybe this magic fortune of "going through the spring and autumn with one iron mouth, and asking for fate all the way" can help her figure out the mystery of her life experience.

Yu Manli hurried over to open the door.Qi Tiezui handed her the plum blossom nail: "This is yours, I've never seen it before." As he spoke, he looked at Yu Manli calmly.

Yu Manli smiled: "Thank you boss, this thing is really important to me."

The reason why she came to the tea village this time was not just to find Qi Tiezui, but because the voice asked her to come to the tea village and visit a tomb.
