Chapter 1: Stop 1: Pawn Shop Antiques
Sitting next to him, Li Sanyou poured a glass of water for Zhao Wugou, trying to feed him, but the other party avoided him.Li Sanyou had no choice but to put down the glass in dismay.
Zhao Wugou's hands were bound, his back was behind him, and he sat with a gloomy expression.
Chu Liuxiang saw this scene when she came in from the outside, and whispered in Duan Xiaolou's ear, "Brother Li is so considerate?"
Duan Xiaolou thought about that little pervert, huh.
Sure enough, Li Sanyou smiled and asked, "Brother Wugou, do you have any older sisters in your family? Your mother gave birth to you?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Zhao Wugou raised that smiling face, and looked at Li Sanyou coldly: "What, do you have an opinion?"
Li Sanyou quickly waved his hand: "No, I dare not have any opinion on your mother... Then, do you have any cousins in your family... Oops!"
Zhao Wugou stepped hard on his foot, causing him to jump up and take two steps back, limping to Duan Xiaolou's side: "This kid is so unreasonable..."
Duan Xiaolou raised his eyebrows: "Shall I ask the Empress Dowager's natal family if there are any sisters, sisters, cousins?"
Li Sanyou: "...No need, I can't afford to be a relative of the emperor, if I don't pay attention, I will be beheaded..."
Chu Liuxiang took down a painting from the shelf, and said to Zhao Wugou: "I don't want to do it anymore, if I untie the rope for you, can I sit and chat quietly?"
Zhao Wugou looked at the picture of a lilac beauty in his hand, with curious and longing eyes like a child who sees sugar, and after a while, he returned to his stinky face and asked, "Can I take the picture away?"
Chu Liuxiang looked up at Duan Xiaolou.
Duan Xiaolou said: "Of course the things taken away by the Bandit Commander belong to the Bandit Commander himself, it depends on what I do."
Chu Liuxiang nodded and looked at the person tied to the chair: "Can you guarantee that you won't do anything or run around?"
Only then did Zhao Wugou give in, and nodded obediently: "Well, I can't beat you again."
Li Sanyou immediately went up to untie the rope for him, smiling at him hehehe.
Seeing his silly and happy look, Duan Xiaolou probably didn't give up on the "sisters, sisters, cousins, cousins".
Zhao Wugou stretched out his hand to take the painting, opened it carefully, and looked at it seriously.
He was about the same age, with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade. This serious and well-behaved look really made me feel pity. Even Chu Liuxiang, who was used to seeing beauties, wondered if he had just shot too much. It's heavy.
Duan Xiaolou sat at the side of the table, resting his chin, squinting at Chu Liuxiang from the side: "Does your heart hurt?"
Chu Liuxiang was startled, but suddenly laughed, and sat beside him: "It's a little bit."
Duan Xiaolou smiled at him.
Li Sanyou immediately hid aside in horror.
Chu Liuxiang wondered, "Why is Brother Li so afraid of you?"
Duan Xiaolou was about to speak when he suddenly saw a line flashing on the terminal:
Tour guide system: [Duan Xiaolou, this system is to take you on a tour, no flirting is allowed on the way!I don't care what peach blossoms you have, I will pinch all the good and bad ones! 】
Seeing him staring at his wrist in a daze, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but move a little closer: "What are you looking at?"
Duan Xiaolou said: "I'll tell you a story, will you listen?"
Chu Liuxiang blinked.
Duan Xiaolou said: "Originally there was an old driver who said he would take everyone out to play together, but when everyone arrived, they found that the driver had disappeared. It turned out that the person who led the way had lost his way. Do you think it's funny?"
Chu Liuxiang didn't know why, so she stared at him with bright eyes: "What?"
Duan Xiaolou continued: "Then, after the guide lost his way, he found that everyone was playing well without him, so he felt very unbalanced, and kept cursing those people for not playing well..."
The terminal kept flashing: [Duan Xiaolou!It's enough!Hurry up and pinch all your peach blossoms for me! 】
Duan Xiaolou stretched out his hand to pinch Chu Liuxiang's face.
Chu Liuxiang:? ?
Duan Xiaolou said, "Well, I pinched it."
Tour guide system: [@#¥%…&*…”]
In the room, the shadows of candles flickered red.The wind blows outside the window, and the dawn is approaching.
Zhao Wugou stared at the painting in his hand seriously, and finally sighed: "She used to be so beautiful."
Duan Xiaolou turned his head and looked at the boy.This boy's age is definitely not more than 20 years old, and the lilac beauty Zhao Wuying was in her 20th year [-] years ago, how could he have never seen his mother when she was young?
Chu Liuxiang said: "You mean, isn't Lingtang beautiful?"
Zhao Wugou sighed: "My late mother was disfigured by a villain in the rivers and lakes in the early years. I have never seen her before. I can only look for...the shadow of that time from some legends."
Duan Xiaolou comforted: "You also have her shadow on you, you are very beautiful."
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows slightly.
Zhao Wugou's face flushed slightly, and he lowered his eyes: "I'm just an orphan picked up by her. She raised her alone...I also... miss her very much."
Li Sanyou immediately overflowed with sympathy, and went up to touch the boy's head, but was slapped away mercilessly.
Duan Xiaolou said: "Brother Chu, do you think the murderer was the woman who ruined Senior Zhao's appearance, because she was jealous of the beauty of the twelve beauties?"
Chu Liuxiang sat very close to him, and said with a smile, "If you say that, you must be ignorant of women."
Duan Xiaolou raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you understand?"
Chu Liuxiang said: "If a woman kills someone because of jealousy, then it will definitely make those women look extremely ugly when they die, instead of restoring the beautiful scene in the beauty picture, won't it?"
Duan Xiaolou looked at him with his chin in his hand: "It seems that there are many girls who are jealous because of you."
Chu Liuxiang put his arms around his shoulders and laughed loudly: "It's not just a lot? It can fill Chang'an Avenue!"
Duan Xiaolou calmly pushed his hand down, and dusted off the dust by the way: "Twelve Beauties Tuli Dingxiang beauty is ranked fourth, if Zhao Wuying was disfigured, then she was let go, you said it was because the other party didn't recognize her?" She died, or is it because that person thinks that the disfigured Zhao Wuying is no longer a threat?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Brother Jing, I have already said that this matter is definitely not because of women's jealousy. You think, eight years ago, the beauty of Hanyu was over [-] years old, and she was no longer as beautiful as when she was young. There are women who are really jealous of her appearance, why not kill her while she is beautiful?"
Duan Xiaolou felt reasonable and stopped talking.
Chu Liuxiang leaned softly on him, thinking to herself, "Being able to restore the scene into a picture shows that this person must have seen the twelve volumes of beauty, so except for Pang Yuqing who painted back then..."
Duan Xiaolou's face turned gloomy all of a sudden, he stood up and said coldly: "The twelve volumes of beauties have been painted in my Jing family since they were painted 20 years ago. No one has seen them except my father and me. Brother Chu If you doubt me, you can speak up."
There was an empty space behind Chu Liuxiang, but he didn't fall down, and kept that suspended posture, as if waiting for Duan Xiaolou to sit down again.
"In this case, how about going to Pang Yuqing?"
Duan Xiaolou turned around: "You don't doubt me?"
Chu Liuxiang tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "I just think you don't have the skills to kill people, young master."
Duan Xiaolou looked at him with his arms around his shoulders: "I can hire someone to do it, my Jing family has a lot of money."
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows: "Wouldn't it be a lot less fun to kill people with fake hands?"
Zhao Wugou sat beside him and listened for a long time, wondering: "What are you talking about?"
Only then did Chu Liuxiang get ready to stand up, and said to Zhao Wugou: "I'll give you what you asked for, if there's nothing you can tell us, shouldn't you go home too?"
Duan Xiaolou sat far away and said, "Wugou is a guest of the Jing family, and the Jing family has always been very considerate in their hospitality, so naturally they can stay until he wants to leave."
Chu Liuxiang said: "The catcher of the vulture is just around here. If you want to find us for a drink and come back by yourself, that would be bad." Picture of Lilac Beauty: "The stolen goods are taken together, and the prison with six doors is waiting for you."
Zhao Wugou stood up, he was half a head shorter than Chu Liuxiang, but he looked at him stubbornly at the moment: "You don't need to scare me, I will leave naturally, I return this painting to you, anyway, I just want to see what my mother used to be It’s just the appearance, I’ve seen it now, I don’t want this painting, if you like it, just keep it for yourself.”
As he spoke, he slapped the priceless painting on the table.
Chu Liuxiang was stubbornly stared at by the young boy, but he stopped laughing. Even though he thought the boy was a little funny, he still said seriously: "Don't think that everything will be fine just because the old man Vulture hasn't seen you, he has two god ears. , no matter who's footsteps in the world can never be forgotten, you are not Zhao Wuying, and the treasure she stole has not fallen into your hands for your enjoyment, why bother to take the blame?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhao Wugou's head: "Let's leave Beijing early before dawn."
Li Sanyou said from the side: "Or you can stomp and walk every day..."
Zhao Wugou stood stubbornly: "I don't know what you are doing, but since it has something to do with my mother, I also want to participate."
Chu Liuxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's the point of participating or not? Do you think this is children playing marbles?"
Duan Xiaolou added: "We are a little more advanced than that."
Zhao Wugou:? ?
Duan Xiaolou explained: "Playing marbles requires a group of people to play together, this is played by Brother Chu himself."
Zhao Wugou: ...? ?
Chu Liuxiang had no idea what she had done wrong, so she could only stand aside with a wry smile and said, "Brother Jing, I remember you were not like this when you first met me." After finishing speaking, those spring-like eyes turned to look at me. Duan Xiaolou said seriously, "Are you... mad at me?"
Duan Xiaolou said: "Hey, why am I angry with you?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, with a gentle smile, half jokingly said: "So you're jealous?"
