Chapter 35 The Mysterious Wreath Shop
After reading the note, I asked Xu Xuan if that address was a low-level contact point, and he smiled and said, "You can understand it that way, but I don't know if you can meet that guy this time. If you can't see him, someone else will give you a case, anyway, when you get there, you should just say you're looking for someone with the surname Li."

I said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.

Grandpa Mai stayed in the Miao Village, and Mai Xiaorou and I set foot on the way out of the Miao Village.

Before leaving, I asked Xu Xuan the password to say hello in Nazhaikou Village, so that it would be convenient for us to come next time.

But Xu Xuan said, I don't need to know, he won't see me and I can't find him until I finish the 36 strange cases.

In my heart, I don't think so, even if we don't have horses in Zhaikou Village, we can still walk along that road to this Miao Village. After all, there is only one road from Zhaikou Village to Miao Village.

Mai Xiaorou and I rode out from the Miao village on horseback. She was in a low mood along the way, and I knew it was because of Grandpa Mai.

So I said to Mai Xiaoju: "Xiaorou, don't worry, let's go to North China to see the situation first, and we will come to this Miao village again in more than ten days, and we will definitely catch up with Grandpa Mai for the last time."

Mai Xiaorou nodded.

When we entered the stockade, we felt that it took a long time, but when we left the stockade, we felt that it was very fast. After a while, we arrived at Zhaikou Village, handed over the horses, and we waited here for the car.

The person in charge of taking care of the horses in Zhaikou Village told us that this car only runs once a day, and we have to wait for more than three hours for the car.

Mai Xiaorou and I stood at the entrance of the village blankly, she looked towards the direction of the Miao Village in the deep mountains from time to time, I was similar to her, also thinking about the Miao Village and Xu Gaoren.

Xu Xuan said that he asked me to complete 36 strange cases, and he would accept me as an apprentice after completion. I always felt that there was something tricky about it.

According to what Xu Xuan said, if I am the seed of disaster, then the Taoists should seal me up or kill me directly, but why is he so tolerant to me?

There's a lot going on here that I can't figure out.

While I was thinking about this, a red car drove over from a distance, and when I got closer, I realized that it was Ning Xi who was driving over. No matter how she found this place, she was really haunted.

The car stopped next to us, and she lowered the window to greet us: "We meet again, waiting for the car, this car is coming very slowly, how about it? Shall I take a ride and take you to the town."

Mai Xiaorou asked Ning Xi directly and abruptly: "Why do you always follow us, what is wrong with you!"

Ning Xi looked at Mai Xiaorou and said with a smile: "My purpose is very simple, to find out how you won Tang Yi, I am a bit obsessive-compulsive, and if I don't know the reason, I will feel very uncomfortable. Ken told me, then I promise that I will never come to harass you again in the future."

Naturally, I couldn't tell Ning Xi about the Snake King Pendant, so Mai Xiaorou and I didn't say anything.

Ning Xi continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I will continue to pester you until you say so, even if you don't take my car, I will still drive with you, anyway, you don't want to get rid of me."

Hearing what Ning Xi said, Mai Xiaorou directly opened the car door and got into the car. Before I could react, Mai Xiaorou reached out and grabbed me, and pulled me into the car. In Xiaorou's arms.

In an instant, my face was a little hot.

But Ning Xi was still in the car, so I didn't dare to enjoy it too much, so I quickly got out of Mai Xiaorou's arms and closed the car door.

Mai Xiaorou said to Ning Xi: "Since you're going to be our free driver, it's just right, take us directly to the airport in the nearest city, and we're going to fly to North China."

Ning Xi smiled and said, "No problem!"

Ning Xi didn't ask us any questions along the way, but she didn't send us to the airport in the nearest city, but sent us to Changsha.

Mai Xiaorou didn't stop Ning Xi from doing this. I asked Ning Xi casually, and she said that she had already booked our air tickets here, and we can take the flight and leave directly when we arrive here.

Only when we got here did we know that Ning Xi was going to fly back to the provincial capital with us on the same plane.

When we got to the provincial capital, Ning Xi asked us where we were going next, and she continued to help us arrange, Mai Xiaorou said: "No need, we are going home to rest, aren't you capable, check it yourself .”

After speaking, Mai Xiaorou dragged me into a taxi, and then went to Cuidi Chunxiao.

Ning Xi stood behind us, watching us leave, and before we had gone far, she yelled: "Don't think I can't find out."

Then Ning Xi really has great powers, she seems to be able to find us wherever we go.

Back at the residence, Mai Xiaorou went back to her room without saying anything. I wanted to comfort her, but she locked the door.

I called her name a few times, and she said, "Chen Yu, I'm fine, just let me be quiet for the night, and we'll go to that county again tomorrow."

Hearing what Mai Xiaorou said, I stopped bothering her.

Back in the room, I did not go to sleep immediately, but meditated and adjusted my breath. I must improve my strength as soon as possible, because I have no way out.

As for the matter at the school, I don't have the time to think about it anymore, and I don't bother to ask for leave.

I don't know how long I meditated, so I fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I smelled a tangy aroma of rice, and went out to see that Mai Xiaorou was cooking.

Seeing me coming out, she smiled at me with a charming face and said, "You're awake, you're ready to eat, after dinner, we can go on our way."

Looking at Mai Xiaorou's expression, she seemed to have forgotten about Grandpa Mai.

Mai Xiaorou's mood improved, so I naturally wouldn't expose her wounds, so I smiled and went to wash up, and then sat down at the dinner table.

While eating, I found that Mai Xiaorou's mood really improved a lot. She didn't pretend, was it because she didn't have deep feelings for Grandpa Mai, or was it because she really forgot about those things?

No, I said I forgot, but why did she remember to go to a small county town to find a wreath shop?

Mai Xiaorou's change is too strange, I really want to know what happened to her alone in the room last night.

When I think about it this way, I always feel that something has changed about Mai Xiaorou, but I can't tell what is different.

After breakfast, we set off for the small town.

After a three-hour drive, we arrived at the station in that county town. The county town is not big, so we found a car at the station, and it took us ten yuan to the gate of the wreath and shroud shop.

The front door is not big, although it is simple, it can't be said to be dilapidated.

Mai Xiaorou and I took a look at the door, and then walked into the store. There was no one in the store, only the old LCD TV was still playing.

"Is anyone there?" I called into the store.

This store has a back door, and behind it is a yard, which should be a place for people to live.

After a while a young man came over, and I recognized him as soon as we met, Li Guidao.

I can't help but wonder, is it possible that the person Xu Xuan wants us to find is Li Guidao?
Li Guidao looked at me and Mai Xiaorou and was stunned for a moment, then he didn't expect us to come, so he said, "How did you find this place? Did you cause any trouble?"

I hurriedly handed the note Xu Xuan gave us to Li Guidao to read, and then told the purpose of our visit, and at the same time asked Li Guidao if he was the person we were looking for.

After reading the note, Li Guidao said: "This is indeed Mr. Xu's handwriting. It turns out that his old man arranged for you to come, but the person he asked you to find is not me, but me..."

Before Li Guidao finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He told us to wait a while, and then answered the call.

While talking on the phone, he looked at us a few times, then hung up the phone with "um" and "ah" and said: "The person you are looking for is my master. My master is not here recently, but he Just called and handed over your affairs to me, and I will arrange the 36 strange cases you want to handle."

Li Guidao's master?Could it be that this small shop was opened by Li Guidao's master. Li Guidao is a person who makes the Tang family fear three points. How could his master live in such a dilapidated place, and Li Guidao had to come and see the shop in person? ! ?
Seeing that I was silent, Li Guidao asked me: "Why, don't you want me to make arrangements for you?"

I shook my head and said, "I didn't mean that, I was just distracted just now."

Li Guidao said: "Don't worry, although I arranged this case for you, but those cases were selected by Master for you, I was a little surprised to say that I can bother my Master to choose cases for it, I am The first, you should be the second."

Li Guidao suddenly smiled and said: "It's a pity that I didn't learn the master's divination skills, otherwise I will definitely do the calculations for you to see what kind of person you are."

While Li Guidao was talking about this, a little girl's voice suddenly came from the backyard: "Xiao Daodao, bring me some apples."

Li Guidao immediately said respectfully: "Yes, aunt!"

The person who made the little girl's voice is Li Guidao's aunt?I couldn't help but think of the situation in Tangfu Teahouse, he called the stuff in his backpack Auntie, could it be that he really carried a child on his back at that time.

Li Guidao asked us to wait, then quickly ran into the backyard, and then went to the second floor.

Mai Xiaorou and I looked at each other, and Mai Xiaorou said: "This small shop is not simple, we have to be more careful when we come here in the future."

I nodded with a "hmm", and subconsciously started to adjust my breath to sense the atmosphere around me, wanting to know why this store is not simple.

Soon my breath detected the second floor, and before I could perceive the breath on the second floor, a breath like Mount Tai pressed towards my breath, and I was caught off guard and collapsed directly on the ground.

The breath just now was so strong, it really felt like a mountain was pressing on me.

Seeing me limp on the ground, Mai Xiaorou immediately went to help me up and asked me what was wrong.

Before I could speak, Li Guidao returned to the store. He looked at me and smiled and said, "Don't try to use your breath to find out the secrets of this store, or you will get hurt. Miss you for the first time. Auntie, be merciful." , otherwise you may have a nervous breakdown and maybe become a fool."

I know Li Guidao is not joking.

Li Guidao continued: "Okay, let me arrange the first case for you - the bloody mirror house!"
