After checking his condition in detail and confirming that the bastard in the Wishing Pond was in good health and full of energy, the elder breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qingfeng: "Take Qi Yi to Qingyu Alley."
Qingfeng couldn't help but be startled, "Now?"
"Well, I have to rush back to the headquarters to attend a meeting." The great elder's tone left no room for doubt.
This was the first time she had shown the aura of a superior person so far. Her posture was as elegant and dignified as before, but she felt like she had suddenly changed. The full sense of oppression made Wang Qiyi shrink back and dare not say a word.
Fortunately, he had thought that the Great Elder of Xuanmen was a pleasant aunt before. Now it seems that someone who can sit in the position of Great Elder is definitely not a mediocre person.
"Qi Yi's condition is very good. I think we can give it a try." The elder looked at the bastard who was lying obediently on the edge of the pool and used his paws to scoop up the water. He showed a slight smile and said in a deep voice: "If we can succeed, I will give Qi Yi a try." It’s also a big help.”
Qingfeng heard that the so-called "try" was just a euphemism, and his superiors liked to say half and half until the end.
I just said that it was a good thing for Qi Yi to succeed. What if he didn't succeed?
The great elder was so impatient that he obviously didn't want to wait any longer.
Thinking back to the batch of good young people who had just been recruited under Xuanmen's command recently, Qingfeng understood a little bit in her heart. She lowered her head and showed the obedient attitude of a perfect subordinate, "Okay, I'll take you to the airport."
The great elder waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just go down the mountain together. You take Qi Yi to do business; the driver is waiting at the bottom of the mountain."
Just as she was about to leave, she remembered something and said casually: "Headquarters wants to send you to guard the north, but I will stop you when I get back. Qiyi's side is more important, and you should act safely."
Qingfeng bowed slightly and said thank you.
Wang Qiyi noticed that when the captain heard that he was going to take turns guarding the north, his eyes were a little serious, but after the elder said that he had blocked it, he obviously relaxed. I thought to myself that it shouldn't be a good job. Fortunately, I decided to swallow the demon pill and the process went smoothly. Otherwise, wouldn't Golden Thigh have to be transferred away?
The Taoist temple came forward to give the wishing pond tortoise a two-day holiday, and he was happy to be quiet. He left the real tortoise in the back mountain to sleep; his clone turned into a palm-sized tortoise and lay directly on the captain's shoulder as a decoration.
It’s not obtrusive, and it saves worry and effort. You can take a nap and catch fish. It’s so refreshing!
Take the cable car down the mountain and the two sides separate at the foot of the mountain.
The elder's car went straight to the expressway to the airport; the captain drove towards Lianyun city.
The captain looked solemn along the way, and it was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the arrangement of the great elder. But he said nothing. As the most likely beneficiary, Wang Qiyi didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere, so he could only retreat into his shell and pretend to be dead.
Qingyu Lane is located in the westernmost urban-rural fringe of Lianyun City.
There are many high-rise buildings and tracts of self-built houses, and you can even see a large field of corn with young sprouts emerging.
"Hey, why are you free to come here today?" As soon as the SUV stopped at the alley, the old lady who was sitting under the big locust tree chatting with a group of old sisters looked up.
I don’t know what she said to her sisters, but a group of old ladies looked over and waved at her.
"Hey, this little bastard is so pretty." The old lady walked to the car and greeted with a smile, "A new member of the detective agency? An Yanqiu asked you to come here again, right?"
Only then did Wang Qiyi see clearly that she was short in stature and slightly chubby. She was wearing the bright floral top and black wide-leg pants that the square dance aunt loved most, and on her feet were handmade red cloth shoes.
She exuded the aura of the kindly old lady next door, but her eyes were tightly closed on her wrinkled face.
"Qiyi, this is Granny Machi, a senior of the detective agency." Qingfeng got out of the car and introduced them, "Grandma, his name is Qiyi, and he is a new member who has just joined us."
"Walk, walk, don't stand on the street, go home and talk." Grandma Machi closed her eyes tightly, but her movements were so neat that her eyesight was not affected at all.
She looked very much like the enthusiastic old lady who was waiting for her children and grandchildren to come back to visit her hometown. She praised Wang Qiyi for being polite and sensible, and said, "Come as soon as the breeze comes, and what else will you bring."
She lived at the top of the alley. The four bungalows facing south were kept clean and tidy. The large yard was planted with flowers and vegetables and she also raised a few chickens. It was full of the atmosphere of human fireworks.
"Every time An Yanqiu asks you to bring people over, you always have such a funny face." Granny Machi closed the door, moved stools for them neatly and poured hot water for them, and said with a smile: "Look, Xiao Wang was so scared that he didn't even dare to Speak."
"Xiao Wang, do you like sweet apricots? The apricot tree in my yard has produced many sweet fruits this year, and they are delicious! I will pick more for you and bring them back to the company for the children to try."
She found a plastic bag, grabbed the thick trunk with one hand and climbed up the tree quickly, humming a little tune and picking fruits quickly.
Qingfeng turned to look at the little tortoise lying on the stool and said in a low voice: "I'm just not in a good mood. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to be reserved here with Granny Mach."
Wang Qiyi could guess that the elder had arranged for the captain to take him to see Senior Xuanmen. It was definitely not as simple as a visit. Coupled with the ugly look on the captain's face, he probably wanted to ask Granny Mach for something.
And something like this must be important to her, otherwise the captain wouldn't be so obviously displeased.
"The Great Elder didn't come with you anyway, can't we fool him?"
Wang Qiyi also lowered his voice and spoke, but before the captain could respond, Granny Mach jumped down from the tree and said with a smile: "Silly boy, you can't really lie or you can't lie, it's useless to fool you."
A pocket full of yellow and orange apricots exuded a strong aroma. She took a few and washed them slowly with water, patiently advising: "Qingfeng, in fact, these eyes are doing more harm than good to me now."
"I used to be useful in the detective agency because I could help a lot. But now you see, I don't even dare to open my eyes, but I have never experienced what it feels like to really close my eyes. No matter day or night, No matter what I use to cover it, everything around me is just staring in front of my eyes, which makes me feel tired."
She washed the sweet apricots and distributed them to Qingfeng and Wang Qiyi. She sat down on the bamboo chair and then opened her eyes to Wang Qiyi.
A pair of strange water-like eyes stunned the big tortoise.
He blinked and couldn't believe the sight in front of him - it couldn't be called eyes anymore, there were no eyeballs, whites or even pupils, but a pool of water.
The black one has a hint of deep blue-green, like the deepest part of the ocean and the deep starry sky.
The water surface without a trace of bright color trembled slightly, and it felt as if it could flow out of her eyes at any time.
"Mother-in-law, your eyes..." Wang Qiyi shrank his neck, thinking that even if he really gave it to me, I wouldn't dare to ask for it!
Although the bastard's eyes are a bit small, they are still normal eyes. If they were like this, he would be shocked if he looked in the mirror.
"To be precise, these are not my eyes." Granny Mach closed her eyes skillfully again and sighed: "It just chose me and parasitized in my eyes."
"Every time a promising newcomer joins Xuanmen, Qingfeng will bring him over to have a look, in order to find a pair of eyes that can allow it to coexist and be more effective."
