Although Xie Jingxi tried her best to comfort Sheng last, she actually had no bottom in her heart. After an hour or two, there was still no movement outside.
Sheng last was tired of playing and had fallen asleep on her. The child had a heavy mind and couldn't sleep well. When he woke up, he asked whether her mother came or not, let alone her mother. There was no one outside. Xie Jingxi put him on the table and wanted to see what was going on outside.
This time, the yard is empty and the door is not locked. It seems that it doesn't matter if they go in and out, but the more it is, the more it makes people feel angry. Gu Qing can't let them go out, but whoever faces an unlocked door won't want to sit and wait for death. Maybe he can run out. Xie Jingxi has the impulse to try.
She first gently pushed the door open. The sound of the door echoed for a long time, but no one attracted. This made Xie Jingxi a little more daring. She opened the door to the size that a person could go out. Xie Jingxi went out and looked around. No one saw it. When she was going forward, she suddenly found a trace on the stone steps.
It was a trace engraved with direction. Although it was very shallow, it was deliberately painted. Xie Jingxi's head was hot and went to erase the trace.
Turning back to the house, Xie Jingxi's heart beat hard. Is it a hint for her? Does someone want to guide them away? Or a trap?
No, Gu Qing won't be so boring to test her. He will only stand where she can't see and peep at her like a bird in a cage. She won't doubt that Gu Qing will do so. The more empty there is, the more he will see her reaction.
So the man who marked her must be within his observation range, but who would take such a risk.
But anyway, Xie Jingxi has to take this risk. She can't do nothing. Gu Qing will do what she says. As soon as the time comes, she will send Sheng last away.
Xie Jingxi went back to the room, woke Sheng last up and told him, "Sheng last, go out with his aunt later. Don't talk nonsense. If someone stops us, don't be afraid, you know?"
Sheng last once experienced a war. He didn't see the ignorant doll who was jealous of life. Although he was very afraid, he nodded calmly, clenched Xie Jingxi's hand and went out together.
Xie Jingxi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Gu Qing could see her at any time. It's better to fight and go as far as she can. It depends on the ability of the person who left her a few numbers.
Sure enough, walking along the direction pointed by the man, she saw another arrow mark not far away. Xie Jingxi looked at the route. It was not the direction they came in, but she still decided to follow. She wanted to see how much color was left waiting for her.
There was no one along the way, and the little hands tightly clenched were cold. Sheng last must be very scared, but they held back and didn't say a word all the way. They followed the arrows and walked along inconspicuous paths. Sometimes they passed through some low flowers. Some looked like places where servants lived. She felt that the people who led the way were actually very smart. Even if Gu Qing pretended to look everywhere, there was always a blind spot, Whether she goes out or not, this man is really helping her.
The moment before they came out, Fang Dai found a code. At that time, she and Gu Guangang found the market and didn't know where to start. This sudden code made Fang Dai feel uneasy.
This is not Zhao Zhang's usual secret code. She used it privately with her sister Fang Yu. Although she didn't use it much, Fang Dai won't forget it until she died, because she hasn't seen it for more than ten years. She thought she wouldn't see it again in her life, but now it appears out of thin air. The huge psychological gap and full of anxiety flustered Fang Dai, who has always been calm.
Fang Yu is still alive. She lives in a place she doesn't know and can't see. As long as she is still alive, she will not give up revenge. Fang Dai knows too well. Is she in danger or something important to tell her? Will it have something to do with her when her wife disappeared? She should first follow Fang Yu's tips to find her, Or continue to look for your wife like a headless fly?
Fang Dai decided to gamble.
Fang Dai followed the code left by Fang Yu and found a gambling house. She carefully looked at the gambling house. She didn't see anything special. She realized the seriousness of the matter. If both her wife and Fang Yu were here, it was self-evident who the gambling house represented behind. She and Gu Guan couldn't solve the problem, so she had to inform Zhao Zhang.
"Fang Dai!" Gu Guan suddenly shouted to her. Fang Dai looked over and saw Gu Guan bend over and pick up something on the ground.
"It's yellow preserved fruit. It's a snack that Sheng last often brings with him. It's brought from Guangdong. I think they must be nearby!"
Sheng last must have lost it inadvertently, which proves that they must have been here. If it's such a coincidence, there must be something wrong with the gambling house.
"Three girls, you stay outside. I'll go into the gambling house and find out. Zhao Zhang will come to support you later. Just be flexible outside."
"No! I want to go in." Gu Guan pulled Fang Dai. "I can't rest assured. Sheng last is too dangerous for you alone. What about the two of them? You can't bring them out alone."
At this point, Fang Dai gritted his teeth and simply gambled, "OK, let's go in together. Zhao Zhang will come later. There will be no problem. If there is danger, try to take them first and leave the rest to me."
The two girls decided to take risks together, but Gu Yun caught Zhao Zhang who was coming later.
Zhao Zhang suddenly felt thunderous. He was fried from inside to outside. There was no better thing for him to catch him than hiding from their master.
"Ah! Sir, you came back early today."
"What's wrong with you? Don't expect me to come back, do you?"
"No, no, no, how can I? This... Er..." Zhao Zhang felt that he couldn't hide it. The broken jar told him, "don't get angry. There's something wrong. Young Master Sheng last lost and his wife went out to find it. Now they haven't come back, but there's news from Fang Dai. I'm in a hurry. Why don't you go back for tea first? I'll pick them up later."
Gu Yunpi looked at him with a smile. "Drink tea? Save it. Drink it later when you settle accounts with you. Where are they? What are they doing? Don't go quickly!"
Zhao Zhang was like a dog leg with firecrackers on his tail. He ran to the front to lead the way, "near Xishi street, in that direction, I remember it was a gambling house."
Gambling house? A gambling place.
"It came very quickly." Gu Qing stood in front of the window in a room in the backyard of the gambling house. "Where have they gone?"
The man dressed up with a young man in front replied, "the lady lost her just now. What we can't see is the dead corner, but the direction can't be wrong. It must be the little door we don't often use."
"Oh? Interesting. It seems that it has been premeditated for a long time. Who left the mark? Did you find it?"
"It's the mute who burns firewood in the kitchen."
"It's promising. I've been hiding under my nose for so long. In that case, let's go and play with them. Don't stop anyone coming in. I'll see what immortals can lead to."
Xie Jingxi finally saw the man who showed her the way.
It was a stooped and humble figure, curled up and twisted under a rag shirt full of black and gray, with thick and deformed eyelids covering his eyes. The whole face could not find any place for people to see, but Xie Jingxi looked at him with a complex look for a long time.
Sheng last tightened behind her and didn't dare to look at him at all. The man was probably used to being humble. He instinctively avoided everyone's eyes, pointed to the direction behind him and signaled them to go quickly.
Xie Jingxi didn't hesitate and didn't look at him any more. He led Sheng last to the direction he pointed out. It was such a small door and the same escape distance. Fate always had to repeat something he didn't want to experience any more, race against time, and rush to the birth gate close at hand but never know whether he could reach.
This time, God did not care for her. The door was fleeting, and changed a demon's face, such as watching moths flutter into the fire, waiting for them to fall into the net.
"Sister-in-law is not very good."
Xie Jingxi took Sheng last to her side and looked at Gu Qing who suddenly came. Her inner resentment reached an unprecedented level.
"Sister-in-law, will you be very desperate, angry, unwilling and eager to come and devour me alive, right? Your appearance reminds me of my eldest brother. He looked at me like that."
When Gu Qingchao approached them, Xie Jingxi couldn't help retreating, "But I thought at that time, what's the use of this? It's just giving others a look at your cowardice and weakness. You can't see a person living, so you try your best to make him disappear. It's so simple. It's only a laughing stock in other people's eyes. Sister-in-law, do you think people are very interesting?"
"As you said, Gu Qing, I think so about you. Since everyone wants to settle accounts, we should have a good chat."
Gu Qing stopped and looked at her. "My sister-in-law and I are always in touch."
"You can't see us well, or the whole Marquis house well. You want to come back and revenge everyone and impose your so-called humiliation on relevant and irrelevant people. Although I don't agree with your belief, I respect you for the moment. However, there's another word I think you should know that everyone has a life, and not everything will develop in the direction you expect. Of course, it's the same for me Well, in places like gambling houses, people rely on luck. We simply gamble. "
"This proposal sounds good." Gu Qing smiled and looked in a direction, "but sister-in-law, some people don't necessarily want us to have a good chat."
As soon as the voice fell, Gu Qing quickly grabbed Sheng last hidden behind her.
