Chapter 39 Sang Zhe's Swing Daughter

Chapter 38 Sang Zhe's Daughter on the Swing

The courtyard of the teahouse is tidy and quiet, the gravel road is paved interestingly, and there are several poles of bamboo and plum trees in the corners.There is an apricot tree planted in the middle of the courtyard. Because it has grown for a long time, its branches are slanted, and a swing is hung above it.If the spring is deeper, the shadows of apricot blossoms are sparse, the dark fragrance is floating, and the bamboo shadows are clear and shallow, there will also be two tea tables here.

As soon as Du Zheng opened the sliding door, the wind blew in from the courtyard, bringing a slight tide, mixed with the smell of soil and more complicated messages.As soon as Du Zheng closed his eyes, he took a deep breath of the air here almost satiated. Many sleeping parts in his spirit were waking up agitatedly, awakened by a burst of probing that seemed to be there.The wrong detection was as fine as a gossamer, and he immediately retreated vigilantly after a slight touch, but it was still too late.He had caught the thread, and he would catch the silk-spinning spider.

He was faintly excited, always on standby, and he felt that he was about to become stiff.He walked into the courtyard of the teahouse unhurriedly, but all the spiritual power in his inner body was excitedly stretched out, like a sail full of wind. He really missed this feeling of sailing with full sail.

The short gravel road in the courtyard came to an end. He enjoyed the process of getting close to the prey, and pushed open a door with a satisfied smile.He smelled the rich aroma of baked snacks, and knew he had come to the back kitchen.

A few pastry chefs in white chef uniforms turned their heads to look at him curiously, and his eyes flicked past them without pausing for a moment.

"Who is it?" A low voice whispered with curiosity.

A group of girls gathered on the other side of the back kitchen, and the waiters of the teahouse were resting and chatting here while they were not busy.Du Zheng looked over, and they also looked at him curiously. He carefully distinguished them, and suddenly, a girl firmly grabbed his full attention.

Oh, he sighed suddenly in his heart-"Sang Zhe's daughter on the swing outside, with two crows in top buns and slanted flower branches", the scene when Luo Qi said this was right in front of his eyes.She still combed her hair in a symmetrical bun, and there was a red tassel hanging behind one ear.

He didn't expect that she was hiding so well at that time, and he also overlooked one point, that is, someone might be watching Guan Xinyue all the time.He thought for a short while, his eyes had already seen the panic of seeing a ghost flashed across the face of the girl with the bun, and he smiled warmly.

The other girls gradually came back to their senses, followed his line of sight and stared at Shuang Yaji, and gradually became more comfortable, looking back and forth between Shuang Yaji and the tall handsome guy at the door, surprised, displeased, Surprise and excitement were changing on the faces of her colleagues.

Du Zhengyi looked at him and smiled gently, "Let's go, I've agreed to come and pick you up. Forgot?"

Shuang Yaji almost shivered, her eyes were full of tension and despair, she turned the tension into a look of surprise, stood up suddenly from the chair, her light colored pupils trembled slightly, "You... ...You just came in like this?"

"I have a surprise for you." Du Zhengyi smiled slyly, still leaning against the door frame, lazily stretched out a big hand to her.

The rancidity of love is always the most moving. Her colleagues started booing, and a few pairs of eager eyes stared at the young man at the door with open envy.But Shuang Yaji understood Du Zhengyi's threat - go out with him, and they will solve their problems in a place away from human eyes.

She was so nervous that her eyes didn't dare to leave Du Zhengyi's body, and she said, "I'm leaving get off work early today, please tell the lady boss for me."

Someone accepted her, but most of the girls were still booing, and even the chef looked at her with a smile. Her nervousness seemed to be an infatuation in love in the eyes of others.She took a few steps forward, Du Zhengyi's hand fell on her forearm, and gently pulled her out.

"What do you want for lunch today?" Du Zhengyi asked with a smile.

With his back to the others, there was no smile on Shuang Yaji's small face. "I can eat anything. My car is in the parking lot of the west courtyard." She looked up at Du Zhengyi, staring closely into his eyes.

Du Zhengyi laughed again with her cooperating acting, and let go of the opened door, and they had already walked back into the yard.The people in the back kitchen were still watching the gossip enthusiastically through the glass, Du Zhengyi slid his hand to her waist, put his arms around her, and led her to the west courtyard.

"Who are you?" she whispered, her voice full of horror.

"What do you think?" Du Zhengyi asked gently.

"I've never done anything," she said sharply.

Du Zheng laughed.

She took a deep breath and wisely stopped humiliating herself. At this point, both parties knew it well.They stepped into a moon gate in silence, and the ground became uneven, broken bricks mixed with weeds, and there were more than a dozen cars parked in the not too big yard, which was the employee parking lot of the teahouse.

The girl with the double buns trembled a little nervously, and suddenly staggered and tripped over a broken brick.Du Zheng stretched out his hand to pull her subconsciously, but it was in vain.

She was a rare little man among magicians, with the stature and agility of an elf, she flopped down, twisted her body and got around behind Du Zhengyi.Even if a mage does not use energy, in terms of physical quality, he is faster, more agile, and has better vision and hearing than humans.These features of hers have almost reached the top among magicians. Du Zhengyi is much taller than her. Although she is lean and agile by human standards, she is almost clumsy compared to her.

When Du Zheng turned around to attack her, she had already circled back in front of him.She accurately judged her strengths and weaknesses, and she didn't intend to fight Du Zhengyi at all. Once there was no obstacle in front of her, she would run as hard as she could.In a blink of an eye, she had already rushed to her own car on the other side of the parking lot. She had already stretched out her hand from a distance, and the car door opened automatically. She jumped into the car, locked the door tightly, started the car, and stepped on it suddenly.

The engine roared crazily, and the car was poised to move forward like a wild beast trying to break free. Unexpectedly, the untouched brake pads fell down at the same time.She restarted the engine in a panic, but the engine didn't respond. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone in the passenger seat, but the door was always closed.She turned her face away in horror, and saw Du Zhengyi sitting there.

She screamed hysterically, and Du Zhengyi couldn't help frowning, but in the next second, a dagger with a bone handle appeared in her hand, stabbing fiercely at Du Zhengyi's abdomen.The sharp blade was aimed directly at Du Zhengyi's vitals, and she made a move without warning. She watched the tip of the knife hit Du Zhengyi, but the strength in her hand was completely lost.Du Zhengyi disappeared out of thin air again.

She screamed again, and Du Zhengyi appeared in the seat behind the driver's seat, this time she didn't even have time to look back.A chain looped around her neck and tightened suddenly, and the suffocating despair made her struggle desperately.

"Do you like the necklace I gave you?" Du Zhengyi whispered in her ear.She was completely out of strength, and her vision went dark and she lost consciousness.

The chain disappeared from Du Zhengyi's hands. He raised his head and saw Guan Xinyue standing outside the car window with a horrified expression on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, assessing how frightened Guan Xinyue was, whether she would lose her mind, and cautiously opened the car door.

"It's weird, you know?" Guan Xinyue said with disgust.

Du Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, ignored her, and continued to restrain a magician.

"You're really a bit of a vampire, tall and thin. From the sidelines, it's like you're hunting."

"Blood sucking is just a rumor." Du Zhengyi said, but did not deny the other part.

Guan Xinyue shrugged, "I guess so, all legends have a source." After she finished speaking, she asked eagerly, "Is the agreement I just said still valid?"

Du Zhengyi raised his head and looked at her with a frown, "You really have a big heart. You turn a blind eye to such a mess, and you can go back and talk about one thing? There is such a mage watching by your side all the time, don't you Do you feel bad?"

"Wait," Guan Xinyue said, "I'll talk about this uncomfortable thing later. I can only suffer one thing at a time. Do you want to accept my conditions?"

Du Zhengyi pursed his lips tightly again unknowingly, he found that the things he couldn't handle had obviously increased recently, whether it was Roach, this 16-year-old girl, or the one he hadn't been able to get close to the core. series of puzzles.

"I believe that my teacher will take measures in Roach's favor, and I also believe that Roach's parents will fight for his rights." He said, "In this case, my intervention is just a waste of resources. I think Hurry up and investigate other matters that cannot be assigned. For example, the suspicious points in Lu Jinfeng's death, such as your sister's disappearance."

Mentioning her sister, Guan Xinyue's expression darkened for a moment, but after a while, her stubbornness became full again.She said angrily, "I was the first to find out when the woman named Qi Yue was pestering my aunt. I told my grandpa, thinking that I would have completed the task in this way, and the adults would definitely solve the problem satisfactorily." It happened. But what happened? The result is that my aunt died."

Du Zhengyi was silent.

"I believe that in your world, these things can also be explained as out of control. I don't know what happened, but I can be sure that there are more and more out of control incidents. If the next out of control is Roach's death , then I can't accept it."

"Use your grandfather's magic weapon to exchange someone you've only known for a few days?" Du Zhengyi said.

"It's not just helping Roach, I think I'm preventing the black hole from being devoured." Guan Xinyue said stubbornly, "If I can successfully persuade you, I will leverage even greater power."

Du Zhengyi sighed, "At least give me some time to deal with the current problem." He turned his head and stared at the fainted woman thoughtfully, "I... have some ideas."

He leaned over to pick up the bone-handled knife she had dropped on the ground. The handle was made of human bone. He turned the bone-handled knife gently, and the sharp blade reflected the cold light.He looked at the knife and thought, the knife did not disappear with the interruption of the magician's consciousness, so this is not a condensed replica weapon, but a precious prototype.

There can be no real difference between a prototype and a replica, or it can be vastly different, since the ritualistic nature of using a prototype weapon is immeasurably significant.
