Li Muchu sat up from the bed little by little, with a bright red string wrapped around her fingers. Her eyes were a little cold.
"Where are you going? Taoist priest?".
I answered bluntly: "I have something to do."
Li Muchu frowned: "Zhang Asi, a powerful man who broke into Fulong Mountain and a wanted criminal in the industry, seems to have known in advance that I discovered your identity."
I closed my eyes slightly tiredly: "How did you find out? So what if you kept pretending to sleep?"
"Do you think there is anything that can escape the double eye? If I want to, there is nothing I can't see."
Li Muyu: "The person Fulong Mountain is chasing is Zhang Asi... Zhang San, the direct disciple of the Four-Eyed Celestial Master... I don't understand what grudges you have with Fulong Mountain."
"But I know clearly that if you leave here and don't follow us to Fulong Mountain, your identity will really be unclear."
I nodded: "I understand, but I'm not ready to go to Fulong Mountain just yet. I have my own ulterior reasons."
"I will go to Fulong Mountain, not now."
"As for whether I am a skinned ghost or Zhang Asi, you can judge for yourself."
"Of course you can stop me if you want, but you probably can't stop me."
I tapped the wooden box lightly, and the bronze horizontal knife gracefully drew a green afterimage, gently refracting the moonlight.
Li Muchu's fingers kept entangled with the red rope, and the expressions in her eyes continued to change. Finally, she let out a long sigh and got back into the quilt:
"I don't care...it doesn't matter whether you are a human or a ghost, Zhang Asi or Zhang San."
"If you want to leave, just leave. I didn't see anything."
"Thank you," I said thanks, pushed the bronze horizontal knife back into the knife box, and prepared to leave.
Li Muchu's dull voice came from behind: "I...I prefer to believe that you are Zhang San...".
............
I walked to the station and sat on a chair at the train station until dawn.
I can’t imagine what Taoist Erhu’s reaction would be after he woke up.
After he returns to Fulong Mountain, what will be Fulong Mountain's reaction?
You should be very shocked and angry.
I wonder if the Four-Eyed Celestial Master will be disappointed in me...but I have no choice.
Grandpa’s dream warned me to go find Kou Zhenghai, and the Hongsha Weisheng Box predicted that I would die if I went to Fulong Mountain.
At present, we can only go to General Kou to find out everything first.
Things about the Zhang family, things about grandpa, things about the shady marriage contract...will there be answers there?
I took out the red evil box and
This is also what grandpa left behind. This prophecy coincides with grandpa's dream. They are all guiding me to find Kou Zhenghai.
Li Youyou is also inside...she is sleeping inside.
Now I am not believed by anyone. Taoist priests Erhu and Li Muchu are still suspicious even when they go to Fulong Mountain.
They will wonder whether I am Pee-peeve or Zhang Asi,
I am in an isolated and helpless situation, no one can be trusted, no one dares to believe...
Maybe only Ma Qing and Li won't doubt me.
At dawn, I put on a pair of sunglasses before boarding the train.
The dragon pattern can be hidden, but the double pupils cannot. This is the only way to avoid attracting attention.
Dachang City is not far from the city where I am now.
After a long day's work, I arrived at Dachang City. It was already evening when I arrived at Kou Lao's jade workshop.
The persimmon red afterglow of the setting sun fell on the street, shining through the glass and reflecting on the already transparent and extraordinary jades, making them as dazzling as fiery red glass.
The clerks are exhausted after a day's work, and the setting sun at this time is the gentlest and most yearning sunshine for them.
When I walked into the craftsman's shop, I looked around and didn't see the young girl I was familiar with before, nor did I see Mr. Kou.
Several clerks were busy cleaning, tidying up the counters, etc.
A beautiful girl in uniform came up to her quickly: "Hello, sir, do you need anything?"
"It's time to get off work today, and the master craftsman has also got off work. If you need anything, I can help you record or make an appointment."
Just as I was about to speak, I saw a young girl wearing regular clothes walking out from behind, yawning as she walked, with bags under her eyes swollen and black.
I said hello to her: "Are you going to get off work?".
"Hmm...", the girl replied subconsciously. After realizing that the voice was familiar, she hurriedly looked over.
Surprise suddenly appeared on his tired face: "It's you...it's Mr. Zhang!".
She happily dropped her satchel and ran over, stared at me for a while, and sighed as if she hadn't seen me in a long time:
"You're also wearing sunglasses. If I hadn't heard it from your voice, I wouldn't have recognized you."
"Mr. Zhang disappeared and hasn't been here for more than half a year. Mr. Kou often complained that you have no conscience."
I smiled and said, "It happened for a reason. I also miss Mr. Kou very much."
The young girl said to the girl next to her: "Xiao Qing, please go get me a cup of tea."
"The young master's family happens to be here. I'll take you to meet him." She led me towards the back.
Shaodong’s family? That sounds like he should be Mr. Kou's son or grandson.
It's okay to meet him, after all, he will meet Mr. Kou later, and he will have to say hello sooner or later.
She took me to the office, knocked on the door, and then opened the door.
Sitting at the main seat in the office was a neatly dressed man, wearing a straight shirt and vest, with his hair carefully styled.
In front of the man were several large and small jade stones.
Opposite him was a very ordinary man, but there were several boxes beside this man.
He looked nervous, and the persimmon-red afterglow clearly showed the beads of sweat on his face.
He asked anxiously: "How is Master Kou?"
'These materials are all carefully selected by me, and they can definitely be shipped.'
The well-dressed Master Kou sighed and shook his head.
The man looked lonely, and he slowly put the rough stones back into the box.
At this time, I suddenly stopped the man, took out a stone the size of a human head from the pile of rough stones, and said to Master Kou:
"Buy this piece"
"Very good".
Mr. Kou looked confused: "You are...".
The young girl on the side quickly reminded: "This is Mr. Zhang that Mr. Kou often talks about, Mr. Kou! Didn't Mr. Kou show you the photo?".
Mr. Kou suddenly slapped his head: "Hey, Ma Lin, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Mr. Zhang, I'm extremely sorry. I was too immersed in it just now and ignored you."
I held the stone to observe, but Kou didn't see me interested, probably because he was apologizing for neglecting me earlier, so he waved his hand:
"Since Mr. Zhang opened his mouth, I must buy this rough stone."
"Ma Lin, please take Uncle Zhao to settle the bill."
The man carrying the box immediately became very happy and thanked me repeatedly.
At this time, Xiao Qingye came in with tea, and Ma Lin took the man out.
After Major Kou pushed the tea in front of me, he sighed:
"My dad has been talking to me about you a lot. He said you are a person with great opportunities."
“Let me deal with you more.”
I put down the rough stone, shook my head and said, "I'm not a person with great opportunities. Befriending me might lead to the destruction of your family."
Kou Shao was stunned and laughed: "You are quite humorous, but it is too mysterious to have your family destroyed."
"Besides, our Kou family has a great business. Even if we still have Mr. Zhang, you can't bankrupt it by squandering it."
'My father has often inquired about you in the past six months. He wants to see you but is afraid of disturbing you or delaying your affairs.'
I smiled and said, "Why don't I want to see Mr. Kou?"
"Mr. Kou is one of the few friends I have in Dachang City, and he is also an old friend of mine."
"Mr. Kou has helped me a lot, but I haven't repaid him yet. This time I have troubled Mr. Kou."
"It's a bit rude to come to the door suddenly, but I do have something important to do."
"I want to meet Mr. Kou"
"I also called Mr. Kou yesterday. His words were vague but he also meant that he asked me to come to him."
His eyes widened: "My father asked you to come to him?".
I frowned: "What happened to Mr. Kou?".
Mr. Kou was stunned: "My father passed away six days ago."
