I read miscellaneous books to become a sun god

Chapter 60
"My lord, there are silver candies!" "Go and buy them."

"Young master, there is Jiayingzi! (a kind of candied fruit)" "Go and buy it."

"My lord, there's Yunpian Cake here! My lord, there's a honey smoothie!"

"Buy it, give me some Misha Ice too!"

A while later, Yan Ruyu and Gu Sheng each had a bowl of honeydew ice, and ate while shopping in the street. Yan Ruyu's little face was full of happiness, and her eyes were almost blind.

Honey smoothie is red bean flour mixed with coarse sugar and shaved ice. It is an extremely hot and thirst-quenching snack in summer.

In Xinning Prefecture, there are also crisps that sell crisps, which are piled with ice on the bottom, crisps made of honey and butter on the top, dyes made of petals, and flowers inserted, similar to modern sundaes.

After turning a few streets, I saw that there were almost no people in front of me, the whole street was empty, and a few government officials stood guard at the intersection.

There are also some ordinary people standing in the distance and whispering.

"It should be here." Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu finished eating honey smoothies at the intersection, threw the bowls away, found the tallest three-story wooden building in the vicinity, and jumped to the roof in two or three corners.

"My lord, look!" Yan Ruyu pointed in one direction.

Gu Sheng took a look, and saw two people squatting on the roof of a second-floor house 200 meters away to look at them. They were the two young people just now.

After taking a look, Gu Sheng looked at the Xie's mansion again. The Xie's mansion occupies a huge area, at least tens of acres, not smaller than the previous Yu's house.

But Gu Sheng frowned after only watching for a moment.

Even though it was summer, the plants were luxuriantly growing, but in the Xie family mansion, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the leaves were almost gone. It was a chilling scene of withering everything in winter.

Moreover, on the courtyard wall, a small flag was planted every [-] meters. The flags were connected with red lines and bells were attached to each other. Only there was no flag at the gate of Xie's house, but a dharma altar was placed.

And a few Taoist priests were walking around the courtyard wall to check for something.

"It seems that the words of those people in the restaurant may not be true." Gu Sheng looked at the arrangement, obviously to prevent things in the yard from rushing out, and it seemed that something was really causing trouble.

As for whether it is a ghost or not, I don't know.

But seeing how cautious these Taoist priests are, the things inside are not weak.

Gu Sheng also thought of the disasters that permeated the local area, and wondered if it had something to do with the things inside.

If the two appear together, Gu Sheng will inevitably associate them.

"My lord, do you want to go in and get something now?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Come again at night, look at this, these Taoist priests are planning to attack at night, let's go in while they are fighting, or simply wait for them to finish before going in." Gu Sheng said.

"If the things inside are too troublesome, we will leave directly without getting involved in this muddy water."

After all, it is not impossible to obtain the soul-drawing silk and the soul-leaving grass, and it is completely unnecessary to risk your life for this matter.

However, after traveling all the way to get here, Gu Sheng took a look at it and left. Gu Sheng also felt unwilling. Isn't this troublesome for nothing?
Just look at the situation tonight.

Gu Sheng kept the surrounding environment in mind, and then said: "Let's go, first find out if there are any old people working in Xie's house, ask about the location of the book collection, then find a place to rest, and come back at night."

The two jumped back into the alley behind the wooden building and left immediately.

On the way, Gu Sheng found two helpers who seemed to be doing nothing, and carried them directly to the alley, put the knife on their necks, and the two of them immediately knelt down, with injustice on their faces:

"Hero, spare your life, we didn't do anything."

"Go and find out if there are any old people who have worked in Xie's house. I want to ask something. Once it's done, I'll give this to you." Gu Sheng took out a hammer-shaped silver ingot worth twelve taels in his hand After tossing it, the eyes of the two people immediately lit up, and they even forgot their fear.

"I don't know. That person has worked in Xie's family for more than 40 years. Later, his legs and feet couldn't work well, so he was kicked out."

"I also know that man's name is Wang San, and I know where he lives!"

Both of them opened their mouths and rushed to answer.

"lead the way!"

Not long after, Gu Sheng was taken to a small alley, which was similar to the place where Gu Sheng lived before.

In addition, the strong fishy smell here makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and there are fishing nets hanging to dry in some yards.

"It's here." The two walked to the door, and then began to knock on the door: "Old Wangtou, are you dead? Open the door quickly, I have something important to see you."

"Who is it?" An old man who was over sixty years old with a wrinkled face opened the door, and looked directly at Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu with some muddy eyes. "Who are the two sons and daughters?"

"Look at them. Let them go after I come out." Gu Sheng threw a piece of silver to the two of them, and said to Yan Ruyu.

"Relax, son."

"Don't worry, good man, the two of us will definitely not do stupid things." The two of them took the money, smiling all over their faces, and stood obediently aside.

Gu Sheng then walked towards the yard: "I have something to ask."

"About the Xie family?" the old man asked.

Gu Sheng nodded. "You know how to do it."

"After all, apart from the Xie family, I have nothing worth looking for." The old man sighed. "I can tell you everything I know, but you see, life here is not easy for me..."

Gu Sheng walked into the room, found a place to sit down, and then took out a hammer-shaped silver ingot of twelve taels and put it aside.

"Ask!" The old man immediately bent down and said.

"Where is the Xie family's collection of books?" Gu Sheng asked directly.

"Collection of books?" The old man was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to ask this question. "There are two study rooms in the Xie family, one is the owner's study room, it's in..."

As the old man spoke, he gestured and drew with his fingers.

Gu Sheng simply took out a pen and paper and asked him to draw it.

The old man was taken aback at first, he didn't see where the other party was wearing a pen and paper, but he didn't dare to ask a word, he honestly drew the map, pointed to two places and said: "This is the study of the Patriarch, usually only It is used by the patriarch. This is the library of the clan, Xie’s family members can come here to study and borrow books.”

"Who in the Xie family likes to collect ancient books? Do you know who buys books every time Shubao Trading Company comes here?"

"The one who collects ancient books the most is definitely the Patriarch. As for the one who buys books, it is usually Mr. Xie, but most of the ancient books are in the Patriarch's study."

"Where does Mr. Xie live?" Gu Sheng asked where the owner and Mr. Xie lived just in case.

It is estimated that "Fu Shui Guang Ji" is in these places, and this trip was not in vain.

Then Gu Sheng asked: "Do you know what happened to the Xie family?"

"How would I know that?" The old man smiled wryly, but when he saw another ingot of silver in Gu Sheng's hand, he immediately pondered for a long time:
"I just remembered one thing, there is a dry well in the Spring Willow Garden.

Spring Willow Garden was abandoned a long time ago, no one lived in it, and no one was even allowed to approach it.I heard that there are often strange noises there. There used to be people who went crazy in there and kept saying "well, well", and that person died within three days.

It is said by the servants that someone died in the dry well, and the ghost lingered, so it was abandoned. "

As the old man spoke, he marked the location of the Spring Willow Garden.

"That's right, is there anything else?" Gu Sheng put the ingot of silver in his hand aside.

The old man pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "No, I've said everything I can think of."

"Yeah." Gu Sheng nodded, got up and walked out, and said casually: "The city is not peaceful these two days, if it is convenient, I will go out of the city to live for two days."

"Ah! Huh?"

Gu Sheng didn't say any more, went out to greet Yan Ruyu, thought for a while and said: "If I have any questions in two days, I will come to ask you."

He glanced at the two helpers by the way, and the two of them fell silent immediately, and they had some thoughts in their minds, but they disappeared immediately.

The old man helped Gu Sheng a lot.Although he was given money, one sentence could save his life, so Gu Sheng would not be stingy.

"Ah, good good good good good good good good! Go slowly, young master!" the old man said repeatedly.

　Thanks guys for helping me correct the typo.

　　In the past, this input method was fine. I don’t know when it was updated. It seems that it is not the most commonly used typesetting front, and typos often appear.
