Chapter 24 The Mansion of the Head 08

When Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang chased him out from the dining room, Fu Jie was no longer in sight. When he asked the servants in the mansion, all Ding Chiyu got was their indifferent expressions.

The two could only go back to the dining room.

Ding Chiyu felt a little subtle when such things happened one after another. For some reason, Ding Chiyu was always a little worried about Fang Mo.

For breakfast today, it was the first time for Dingchiyu to have such a loss of appetite, two people and one bird, only Erba was still as usual, and it was a joy to eat.

Shang Yang advised Dingchiyu to take it easy and not to affect him too much because of these things. At the same time, he scooped up a spoonful of porridge, sprinkled some salted soybeans, and quietly sent it to Dingchiyu's mouth: "Come on, Ah Kong is the most obedient Now, open your mouth, ah——!"

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore." Ding Chiyu said so, but still ate it in one bite: "I want more!"

With Shang Yang's coaxing, Dingchiyu regained his previous appetite.

After the meal, the two of them searched the mansion carefully again, and they cooperated when they found the room of the other five people, but they pretended not to have seen the others.

In the end, except for the master's other courtyard and the ancestral temple-like building with the gate closed, the two of them searched again, but still found nothing.

Ding Chiyu looked at the other courtyard from a distance, groaning silently.

Shang Yang followed Ding Chiyu's gaze and looked at the not-so-tall outer wall of the other courtyard. He understood what Ding Chiyu meant, but he didn't particularly object. After discussing with Ding Chiyu, the two returned to their residence for the time being. .

But before they entered the door, a servant came to invite them from the hall, and the two of them followed to the hall. The butler and the other five people were already in place, waiting for their arrival.

After the two sat down, the butler immediately said, "Master's illness has been diagnosed by the two gentlemen. It's just that famous doctors can't cure it without medicine. So, today, I invite everyone here to show their skills and go to the back mountain to help gather herbs."

"Gentlemen, please feel free. I will come to invite you in the afternoon." The housekeeper left without waiting for a response. Ding Chiyu didn't have time to ask about Fang Mo, so he disappeared after chasing him out.

Ding Chiyu returned to the hall discouraged, and found that the atmosphere here was a little weird.

No one was in a hurry to leave this time, but the safe and sound trio sat on one side drinking tea with relaxed faces, while the other two in the bald group frowned, whispering a few words from time to time, their mouths almost closed. into another person's ear.

Although he didn't know the name, Ding Chiyu still marked the safe trio with characteristics: four eyes, thick eyebrows, and beards.

When Ding Chiyu passed Four Eyes, he found that he pretended to glance at his neck inadvertently, and at the same time glanced at Shang Yang quietly.

This is not the first time this Four Eyes has done this today. He also came here a few times in the dining room in the morning. Ding Chiyu thought for a while, and immediately understood the reason: the fingerprints left on his neck last night have not disappeared. , he must have seen it, that's why suspicious glances came from time to time.

In order to confirm, Ding Chiyu turned around immediately on purpose, and walked back and forth a few times in front of the four eyes. The sneaky sight of the four eyes that was close to the neck made Ding Chiyu angry. Just about to fight back, suddenly a light flashed in his mind Now, taking advantage of the gap where the other party was not paying attention, he suddenly leaned forward, sat down on the chair next to the four eyes, put his upper body close to the four eyes, raised his eyebrows and pretended to be mysterious: "Little brother, we still need one Companion, do you want to come and kick it together, to ensure a hot night..."

Four Eyes was surprised by Dingchiyu's approach, and immediately backed away when he heard the words, dodging so fast that he almost smashed the teacup in his hand.

The thick eyebrow didn't understand what was going on, and he got up and followed out while screaming four eyes. The steady beard glared at Ding Chiyu, and then left.

Shang Yang came over and patted Ding Chiyu on the shoulder: "Akong, stop making trouble."

"I just liven up the atmosphere." Ding Chiyu glanced at the back of the trio, looked away, and found that Shang Yang's hand was stretched out in front of his eyes, and he didn't intend to move away.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Ding Chiyu looked puzzled.

"I've seen it all, take it out." Shang Yang sat down opposite Ding Chiyu.

"I really can't hide anything from you." Ding Chiyu had no choice but to take out a carefully folded square piece of paper and hand it to Shang Yang: "I just want to play tricks on him, who knows that he only has this on him."

Shang Yang took the paper.

This is a piece of ordinary copy paper, but it is folded very carefully, without any trace of curling; the paper is a bit damp, as if it has been permeated by sweat, and the temperature on it has not faded, it seems that The owner of the piece of paper should have kept it close to him.

The piece of paper was opened by Shang Yang, and on the palm-sized piece of paper, there were only four words in red: One is sick, two are watching, three are picking herbs, and four are boiling.

The writing was handwriting, strong but scribbled, almost piercing the back of the paper, and there was nothing else on the paper.

Shang Yang checked the paper carefully, even exposed it to sunlight, smelled it, and tested its thickness, but found nothing extra. This is a piece of ordinary copy paper.

Ding Chiyu leaned close to Shang Yang's face, saw these four words in his eyes, thought for a while, then looked at Shang Yang immediately: "Brother, is this..."

Shang Yang didn't respond immediately, and after pondering for a while, he nodded slowly: "It seems that those three people came prepared, otherwise, the words above, and our experience, would be too coincidental... "

"No wonder the three of them are safe and sound so far. Do you want to attack them now and see if they have any other clues." Ding Chiyu seemed full of energy.

"Don't be so anxious." Shang Yang signaled, Ding Chiyu put his ear up, followed Shang Yang's words, he nodded and showed a smirk.

In the corridor on the side of the mansion, the four eyes are bending over to search the ground carefully, eyes overflowing with anxiety, and they can't stop muttering in a low voice: "There is nothing, what should I do, what should I do..."

Ding Chiyu watched carefully, and after signaling to Shang Yang, he walked over from the corner: "Why, I can't find something?"

Seeing Dingchiyu in all four eyes, he was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands and stepped back: "No, there is nothing, I... I just take a walk here after dinner..."

Looking at the wariness between the four eyebrows, Ding Chiyu secretly smiled in his heart, and at the same time showed his iconic smile on his face: "Don't be so unreasonable, I know I made a joke before, take it as my apology , let me help you."

Dingchiyu's big shiny eyes and harmless expression made the four eyes hesitate.

Ding Chiyu saw it in his eyes, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, looked around enthusiastically, and at the same time asked inadvertently: "By the way, what did you lose?"

"One... a piece of paper..." After hesitating for a while with four eyes, he finally spoke.

"Paper?!" Ding Chiyu paused when he heard the words, looked around and asked, "Is it a piece of copy paper, neatly folded?"

"Yes, yes, why do you..." Four Eyes just started talking, and immediately realized his gaffe, quickly restrained his expression, and looked at Ding Chiyu warily: "Could it be you..."

"I picked it up outside." Dingchiyu naturally took out the piece of paper, put it in the palm of his hand and showed it to his four eyes.

Looking at it with four eyes, he was overjoyed, and just about to take it away, Ding Chiyu grabbed the paper and took it back in time: "Wait a minute, you should prove it first before you can do this, for example, tell me what's inside the paper ..."

As soon as Ding Chiyu mentioned "the contents of the paper", he immediately caught a very obvious wavering from the eyes of his four eyes. He was about to apply further pressure when thick eyebrows and beards rushed over: "What are you doing here? ?!"

The thick eyebrows pulled the four eyes behind him, and the beard lay in front of Dingchiyu. He stared at the piece of paper held in Dingchiyu's hand imposingly, and said word by word: "Give it back to me!"

Ding Chiyu said with a relaxed expression, "Of course, as long as you tell me what's in it, you'll be fine. After all, I picked it up, and I have to make sure it returns to the original owner."

"Bring it back, and treat it as if it never happened." Almost every word of the bearded man was squeezed out between his teeth.

Ding Chiyu estimated the time, and then pretended to be helpless and said: "Well, well, it's really hard to be a good person these days, obviously I picked it up, and I still have to be blamed!"

While talking, Ding Chiyu stretched out his hand.

Just as the beard was about to take it, Ding Chiyu suddenly withdrew his hand: "Wait a minute!"

The beard frowned, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"He lost it. I have to return it to him. It should be returned to the original owner." Ding Chiyu didn't take the bearded attitude at all, and walked up to the thick eyebrow, as if he didn't exist. As if, his gaze bypassed him, and he stretched out his hand towards the four eyes cowering behind the thick eyebrows: "Here, here you are."

The thick eyebrow snorted, and grabbed it, but Ding Chiyu was more dexterous than him, and every time he dodged it first.

Seeing that the thick eyebrow's movements are getting bigger and bigger, Ding Chiyu has had enough of playing, and when the movement stops, he stuffs the piece of paper into the thick eyebrow's hand: "I forgot that there is something else, see you next time."

Ding Chiyu waved his hands at the four eyes behind the thick eyebrows, and then turned around and left easily. The thick eyebrows wanted to chase after them, but they were stopped by the beard: "One more thing is worse than one less thing."

Thick eyebrows snarled fiercely at Ding Chiyu's leaving back, and then confirmed that the note was safe, glared four times, and pulled him back in the direction he came from.

When Ding Chiyu returned to the room, Shang Yang had already come back one step ahead. Looking at his expression, Ding Chiyu guessed that this trip should be fruitless, but he still asked.

Shang Yang shook his head: "There is nothing of value in their room."

Ding Chiyu didn't care either: "Are they carrying it with them? Do you want to do it directly?"

Shang Yang thought for a while: "Let's do the courtesy first and then the soldiers."

Dingchiyu has no comment.
