Chapter 021 First Love
Chen Duo was a little confused. How could she have slept so soundly last night leaning on the chair like this ? Was it just an illusion?
"Are you awake?" Xu Lai's voice was heard.
"Yeah." Chen Duo moved in her chair, looked at the time, it was already past seven o'clock, stood up and put away the clothes covering her body, and said, "Thank you."
I took a look at the table and saw that the plates of acacia seeds had basically been carved.
"You didn't really not sleep a wink last night, did you?" Chen Duo asked.
"Yes." Xu said.
"Are you trying to live?" Chen Duo was shocked.
"It's okay, it will be fine soon." Xu said, but his hands did not stop, and another rune took shape in his hands.
Chen Duo originally wanted to send him to bed without thinking twice, but seeing how focused he was, she had to give up the idea.
"Landlord, are you hungry?" I just heard him ask.
"What? I'm a little hungry." said Chen Duo.
"Then go eat quickly and bring me a portion," Xu said.
Chen Duo gritted her teeth, so this guy had this in mind.
"What to eat?" Chen Duo said unhappily.
"Just like you." Xu Lai said without raising his head.
"Okay, okay." Chen Duo said without any temper, took his phone and went out.
Not long after, he came in with a bag of breakfast, put it on the table, and said, "Let's eat first."
"That's it." Xu said, carved the last acacia bean and put it on the plate, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and came over to have breakfast.
Chen Duo held a cup of soy milk, sat cross-legged on a chair, looked at the acacia seeds on the plate and said, "Have you finished carving them? What should I do next?"
Xu Lai took a bite of the bun and said, "I'll go downstairs and sleep for a while. Are you going to school?"
Chen Duo originally wanted to stay and see how he used these acacia seeds, but she had already skipped a day of classes yesterday, and there was an important activity at school today, so she really couldn't not go.
"Then I'll go to school first. Keep in touch via WeChat and notify me immediately if there is any progress. OK!" said Chen Duo.
Seeing Xu Lai agreed, Chen Duo took a bun and went out to her room.
After a while, she changed her clothes and ran into the elevator in a hurry.
After Xu Lai had breakfast, he went back to his room and slept for two hours. He got up and went to the kitchen to find a dozen bamboo chopsticks he had just bought online. He returned to the living room and gently pulled the carving knife to cut off one third of a chopstick. He then sharpened one end to make a bamboo nail and carved runes on the nail.
Finally, an inscription of the word "well" was carved at the end of the nail. The Taoist word "well" is like a prison, which has the effect of sealing a town.
After he finished carving a bamboo nail, he took a chopstick and continued carving.
At this moment, I heard my cell phone ring. I picked it up and took a look. It was a WeChat message from Gao Xiang.
"Master, are you busy?"
"A bit busy." Xu Lai replied.
"Oh, then the great master will be busy first."
Gao Xiang quickly replied, put away his phone, and said to Sun Muyu with a bit of disappointment: "The master is busy."
The two of them were on Malan Street at that time. They had originally wanted to invite Xu Lai out for a gathering, but they didn't expect that the great man was busy.
"Then let's wait until next time." Sun Muyu said a little depressed .
"What's wrong? You look listless." Gao Xiang asked in surprise.
"Nothing." Sun Muyu was in a bad mood.
"What's going on? Did a girl dump you?" Gao Xiang asked.
Sun Muyu rolled his eyes at him: "With my character, I'm the only one who dumps others, okay!"
"Then why are you looking so sad?" Gao Xiang said.
Sun Muyu lowered his head and walked for a while. After a long while, he said, "Do you still remember Zhao Wenjun?"
Gao Xiang listened and thought: "The name sounds familiar, Zhao..."
"Oh, I remember now!" Gao Xiang clapped his hands, "The place we went to last time, Zhao Xiaomin's sister?"
"Yeah." Sun Muyu said sullenly.
"What's wrong? Did you find her?" Gao Xiang asked. He still remembered what he had promised the girl, but finding people was not their strong point after all, and they had no clues.
"It would be great if it were so." Sun Muyu smiled miserably, his eyes actually turned red.
Gao Xiang was startled by him: "What the hell are you doing?"
"Did you see the news yesterday, the one about Yunshui Bay?" Sun Muyu said with a wry smile.
"I saw it." Gao Xiang said, "They said a woman was found inside..."
When he said this, he was suddenly shocked. In news reports, the victims' real names would naturally not be used.
"It's Junjun." Sun Muyu said, and suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
His crying immediately attracted people on the street to stop and watch.
"Damn it, what the hell are you doing!" Gao Xiang was shocked and hurriedly pulled him up. Even if the one in trouble was Zhao Wenjun, it wouldn't be Sun Muyu's turn to cry, right? And what the hell was that "Junjun"?
Sun Muyu's eyes were red, but she couldn't stop crying for a while.
Gao Xiang felt his face burning when he saw people gathering around to watch, and he quickly pulled Sun Muyu aside.
"What the hell, what are you acting like? What's wrong with you?" Gao Xiang said anxiously.
"You're the crazy one!" Sun Muyu pushed Gao Xiang's face away.
"Then the hell are you doing?" Gao Xiang looked him up and down as if he were a psychopath.
After a long while, Sun Muyu finally said, "Have you forgotten that I once told you that I liked a girl?"
"No!" Gao Xiang said affirmatively.
Their interests were a little different from those of other rich kids. They had been obsessed with studying some magic skills since they were young and ignored everything else. Later, when they went to Xuzhou to become Yuan Tianlin's disciples, they seldom interacted with women other than their fellow disciples.
"Definitely not!" Gao Xiang thought about it carefully again. They had been together for many years, and he knew everything about Sun Muyu. "Tell me, when did it happen?"
"When I was in elementary school." said Sun Muyu.
"Fuck! Are you a beast?" Gao Xiang was shocked. "No, are you still thinking about what happened back then?"
"First love, that's called first love, what do you know!" Sun Muyu said with red eyes.
Gao Xiang was speechless, but he had never seen his brother like this before. He patted his shoulder and said in confusion, "You should have recognized him at Zhao's house that day, right?"
Sun Muyu nodded, and after a long while, he said, "I was embarrassed to say it at that time."
Gao Xiang was also convinced.
"After I got back, I asked around, and the result was..." Sun Muyu couldn't help but choked up again when she said this.
"Alright, alright, wipe your tears quickly. Aren't you ashamed?" Gao Xiang said angrily.
Sun Muyu finally calmed down. He had been holding it in all night, and now that he cried, he finally felt a little better.
"Damn, I've never seen you cry like this in my life. It was so many years ago. Did you really like that girl?" Gao Xiang asked.
"What's the point of liking someone? The person is gone." Sun Muyu grabbed Gao Xiang's clothes and wiped her tears, and blew her nose at the same time.
"Get lost!" Gao Xiang quickly pushed him away, frowning and saying, "What's going on? What happened to Zhao Wenjun?"
Sun Muyu sighed and said, "I have asked around with many people and found out that Junjun died from reading the Thirteen Diagrams of the Art of Sex."
Gao Xiang was surprised: "You mean it's the same as the one in Zijinyuan?"
Sun Muyu nodded: "Yes, and my cousin Kang Lu."
"Kang Lu? She wouldn't..." Gao Xiang was shocked. He and Sun Muyu were buddies, and he and Kang Lu believed they had known each other since childhood.
"No." Sun Muyu knew he had misunderstood, "She's fine. She was saved by the great god."
"Master?" Gao Xiang was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses: "The thing you mentioned last time?"
Then I heard Sun Muyu say: "Yeah, I had a misunderstanding about the master before, so I didn't take it seriously. Now I think about it, it should be like this."
"Then what are you going to do?" Gao Xiang said after thinking for a while.
"What do you think we should do?" Sun Muyu looked up at him.
Gao Xiang was silent. The girl he loved was murdered by someone, what else could he do? If he didn't cut the guy into pieces, would he still be considered a man?
"I have heard about this from several masters and seniors. The man who harmed Zhao Wenjun knows the Yin Tattoo Technique." Gao Xiang said in a deep voice: "It is said that this magic is very evil and it is difficult to deal with."
Sun Muyu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even mention that he knows the art of tattooing Yin. Even if he knows the art of immortality, I will kill him!"
Gao Xiang frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "That guy is so elusive that we two alone may not even be able to find him. How about we go find some senior masters and ask them to help?"
Sun Muyu shook his head: "They won't care."
Gao Xiang sighed, he also knew this was the truth. His and Sun Muyu's families were both well-known in Jiangning City, with extensive connections, so they naturally knew that there were actually quite a few masters with extraordinary abilities in Jiangning City.
But these people won't take care of such things.
"I still have to rely on myself." said Sun Muyu.
"Yeah." Gao Xiang nodded.
The two men were full of thoughts and walked along the street with sad faces, and before they knew it they arrived at Qian Ji.
"You two are here. Are you planning to buy something today or take a job?" Boss Qian greeted them from a distance.
If it were any other day, Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu would definitely be very enthusiastic when they heard there was a job to be done, but today they had no interest at all.
"What? You don't think these small jobs are worth it?" Boss Qian said with a smile.
"No, there is no distinction between big and small for this kind of work," said Gao Xiang.
Boss Qian pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "This time we have a big job. Are you interested?"
Sun Muyu frowned and stood there like a sculpture. Nothing interested him now.
Gao Xiang was better, and asked casually: "What big job?"
Boss Qian lowered his voice and said, "You know about the murders that happened in Zijinyuan and Yunshuiwan, right?"
