Chapter 168

Not far from the corner of the street, there is a teahouse. Due to the constant traffic of pedestrians, the usual business is also constant. However, recently, a tea shop has been opened opposite the teahouse. It has attracted many customers since its opening, so the business in the teahouse is inevitably much deserted.

However, the boss is a shrewd person. A few days ago, he specially invited a storyteller to tell stories in the teahouse every day at Yinmo. Those novel stories are only one paragraph a day, but they are stuck at the climax. On the second day, I ran to the teahouse to listen to the story.

When Nancheng Mo walked to the door of the teahouse, he heard the storyteller telling the story of Du Shiniang sinking the treasure chest in anger. On a whim, Nan Chengmo ran to the teahouse and ordered a cup of tea, and sat and listened.

Although the tea is not a famous tea, but for ordinary people, who would like to drink it out, just to quench their thirst refreshingly. Moved by this kind of infatuation, and remembering that he was also trapped by women, he couldn't help being in a trance.

Everyone was being led by the plot, and when their minds were hanging on a thread, they suddenly heard a woman shout, "Thief, stop!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp sound of the blade being unsheathed, and a white figure flashed past Nan Cheng Mo. Nan Cheng Mo, who was so frightened by the white blade, was dazed and his ears buzzed.

The storyteller was not at all disturbed by what happened suddenly in the teahouse, and he continued to tell the story of Du Shiniang to himself in an exciting voice. When the old bustard burst into tears before he was willing to release Du Shiniang's body deed, the story came to an abrupt end. end.

Everyone complained and left the scene one after another, as if the woman who caught the thief with a knife just now had never happened, but the sword glow in Nancheng Mo's eyes was still clearly reflected in his mind, and when he finally calmed down, there was already a scene in the teahouse. end.

After he finished his last sip of tea, he thought he would go elsewhere to pick up gifts, and was about to get up when he suddenly heard the woman's voice from behind him, "Hello, your things."

After finishing speaking, he put a small printed bag on the table. Nan Chengmo looked at the woman suspiciously, and then at the bag. He felt that the pattern was familiar. He unconsciously took it out with his right hand and touched it. When I was empty, my heart was raised high in an instant, and when I looked carefully again, I realized that the printed bag was the one I had lost.

"Thank you, girl!" Nan Chengmo kept thanking her, and quickly opened the bag with both hands. When she saw what was inside, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the girl's face changed instantly.

Lying quietly in the package was a paperweight carved from black jade. The jade color was deep and dignified, square and square, and the shape of a sword was vaguely carved in embossed patterns on it, as if the sword itself was hidden in the jade body.

This is exactly the paperweight in the small sandalwood box that Nan Chengmo has cherished for many years as a treasure, but in order to buy a gift for Qin Mengyao, he hesitated again and again, and decided to take some silver with this thing, Nan Cheng Mo Seeing that the paperweight was lost and found again, my heart was filled with joy, and I hurriedly put the bundle into my arms, and then remembered to thank the woman.

But I saw that woman's eyebrows were like ink, her eyes were like water, her pretty nose was red, and I felt pity for her. At this moment, her brows were slightly frowned, her eyes contained some surprise and doubt, and there was a kind of graceful beauty, coupled with the handle on her waist. The treasure sword is undoubtedly the existence of a military fairy.

"Thank you for your help, Miss. Nan is very grateful!" Nan Chengmo got up to salute, and found that the woman was still staring at him with an incomprehensible expression.

Nancheng Mozheng was stared at with horror, and suddenly heard the other party suddenly say: "What's your name, where do you live, and who else is at home now?"

"Girl, although you helped me recover the things, you won't be interrogating me like a criminal, right?" The second monk Nancheng Mozhang couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't help but use his housekeeping skills to argue with Qin Mengyao.

"You!" The woman raised her eyebrows, and was about to step forward with a knife in her hand. Nan Chengmo was so frightened that he raised his heart to his throat, but closed his eyes and stiffened his neck. The knife reached his chest, thinking of his master's instructions before going out, he put the knife away and held it in his arms, "This brother, the little girl's name is Yan Ruo, please forgive me for offending me just now!"

"Nan Cheng Mo, people from Shita Village, thank you Yan Ruo for helping me today!" Nan Cheng Mo looked calm, and his tone was much colder than before.Rude women are uncommon, and this is the first time Nan Chengmo has seen someone who hit someone like this after a word of disagreement. If the knife really fell on him, it would have been a disaster.

"Hey, let me ask you, where did you get that paperweight?" Seeing Nan Cheng Mo saying goodbye, Yan Ruo hurriedly stopped in front of Nan Cheng Mo.

"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Miss Yanruo, right?" Nan Cheng Mo smiled coldly, bypassed Yanruo, and still walked out the door.

"Hey, let me ask you something. Why are you so rude? How did your parents teach you!" before.

"Girl, you helped Nanmou get this thing back today. Nanmou is very grateful, but since the girl is raised by her parents, how can she not know the truth of indecent words? This thing has nothing to do with the girl. Why bother?" Ask hard, and besides, if the girl is motivated by seeing something and uses her martial arts to snatch it, Nan will naturally bow down." Nan Cheng Mo looked at Yan Ruo coldly, and even the slightest bit of gratitude just now was gone.

"Hey, oh, what are you talking about all this time!" Yan Ruo's face was flushed, and she stomped her feet anxiously, "You, no, Mr. Nan, the little girl is just familiar with the paperweight, so I want to ask you something. After all, I didn’t expect to make you misunderstand, I’m really sorry!”

"Yan'er!"

Just as Yan Ruo put away her sword, a jade-faced gentleman suddenly broke into the door. Although his footsteps were fast, he was still very personable. Standing between the two of them, he looked down at Yan Ruo affectionately.

"Yan'er, I just inquired about it, there is no one we are looking for in Pulan City, let's..."

"Let's go, who is with you, you are me, you are me," Yanruo pushed the jade-faced gentleman away impatiently, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Mr. Nan, don't worry, the little paperweight girl Not rare, but can you tell me about its origin?"

"Who are you?" Yumian Langjun pushed and shoved provocatively, Nan Cheng Mo staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground, and managed to hold himself steady.

But Yanruo was furious, "Bai Yiran, get the hell out of here!"

"Yan'er, don't be angry, you listen to my explanation," Bai Yi was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of Yan Ruo's anger. Back to Yan Ruo's smile, this time I must not make this aunt angry again, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain!
But as soon as he saw her smiling at this strange man, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. He grabbed Yanruo, lowered his voice and begged, "Yaner, good Yaner, I was wrong, I As soon as I saw you smiling at him, I couldn't help it, don't be angry, okay?"

Yanruo slammed Bai Yiran to the side with a slap of her palm, with a worried look on her face, "Who am I laughing at? It's none of your business. I'll count to three. If you don't get out, be careful that I'm not polite to you!"

Seeing that the two were in conflict, Nan Cheng quietly slipped out from one side while Yan Ruo was not paying attention.

"You can do whatever you want, anyway, I swore to you, unless I die, you will never get rid of me!" Bai Yi recklessly dragged a chair and sat down calmly.

"Okay, since you are like this, then I will not be polite!" Yan Ruo moved her dantian with luck, and her palm suddenly rose.

"Hey, that man is gone," Bai Zhantang pointed at the door with a smile, and Yanruo distractedly looked at it, only to see the figure in gray clothes flashing past the door and then disappeared. Before he could vent his anger, he didn't want to Losing the clue, she had to rush to the door in a panic, but there were so many people on the street, and she couldn't see the man, just for a moment, she wished she could smash Bai Zhantang to pieces.

"It's all your fault, he has that paperweight on him!" Yan Ruo drew her knife and was about to slash at Bai Yiran's body, but Bai Yiran dexterously dodged aside, and gently held Yan Ruo's wrist with her backhand, gently Smelling the aroma in the hair, he closed his eyes satisfied.Yan Ruo was pinned down by him and couldn't move, raising her leg was a kick, who knew that the other party was already on guard, and after taking advantage, she let go of her hands and quickly moved aside, looking at Yan Ruo with a smile.

"Just take it with you. What does it have to do with us? If you like it, I'll grab it for you!" Bai Yiran made a gesture and wanted to go out.

"That was told by the village master himself. If you see those four treasures, you must take them back safely. The paperweight on that person's body is exactly the same as the one on the painting. I suspect that he is the person the village master ordered to find. "Yan Ruo grabbed Bai Yiran, still complaining with resentment in her mouth, "If it wasn't for you, I would have asked about it. Now that everyone has left, what do you think should be done?"

"It's easy to handle. Let's cast a net all over the city to find him. Anyway, he can't escape in this city!" Bai Yiran threw a peanut into his mouth. Not a gleam of favor from Yan Ruo.

"It's easy for you to say, there are so many people here, how long will it take to find the needle in the haystack, think of another way, this is related to..." Yan Ruo almost said it outright, she was so frightened that she bit her tongue hastily, He warned himself three times before looking at Bai Zhantang again, "Anyway, as you said, you must find me within two days, otherwise you will never come to see me for the rest of your life!"

"Decree!" Bai Yiran ran out of the door after hearing this, and then came back in another whirlwind, "You should wait for me at the inn for the next two days. Be obedient and don't run around. Don't worry, I will definitely not run around in two days. Bring the man back to you!"

"If you want to live, you can't lose a single hair!" Just as Yan Ruo finished her instructions, Bai Yiran had long since disappeared.

Nancheng Mo carried the paperweight carved from black jade in his arms, and his heart was agitated. When his father handed the box to him, he told him to protect the contents of the box well, and only touch the four treasures of the study unless it was absolutely necessary. , So he collected it carefully all these years, but for a woman, he would not hesitate to pawn this paperweight in exchange for her happiness, but is it really worth it?
He suddenly remembered that day, if Qin Mengyao hadn't accidentally spilled tea on the paperweight, causing the layer of lacquer ink on the paperweight to scatter, he would never have imagined that it was actually a treasure carved from black jade. Qin Mengyao looked at the paperweight at that time, ecstatically, and looked at it carefully over and over again, but later sealed the jade color with ink again.

She said, "Such a large piece of black jade itself is extremely rare. What's even more rare is that the jade craftsman carved this sword along the grain of the jade. If you don't look carefully, you may think that the sword is embedded in the jade!"

Nancheng Mo clearly remembered Qin Mengyao's appearance, and his heart thumped. Seeing the pawn shop in front of him, he suddenly turned around and walked back. His steps became faster and faster, and the excitement in his heart became more and more uncontrollable. He just wanted to go back immediately. That small village, back to that small courtyard.

Driven by the power, Nan Cheng Mo's feet were blown by the wind, and it took more than half an hour to finish the road that could have been completed in more than half an hour.

Qin Mengyao was refining essential oils in the south room. The room was already extremely warm by the sun, and after being smoked by the fire, it was like a steamer. Qin Mengyao had no choice but to add a fire inside and then go to the courtyard to breathe. But his eyes were still dazzled by the heat, and he sat on a small stone bench in the yard to rest.

Nan Chengmo rushed in from the outside covered in stinky sweat. When he saw Qin Mengyao, he immediately burst into laughter. He looked at Qin Mengyao hesitantly, "Lady, I'm back."

"Well," Qin Mengyao was so headache that he didn't want to speak at all, he just made a perfunctory sound, trying to support his head with his hands.Nan Cheng Mo saw that Qin Mengyao was ignorant of answers, thinking that she was still ashamed of what happened a few days ago, so he boldly stretched out his hand to hold Qin Mengyao's hand, and helped her to stand up, Qin Mengyao's whole body I was tired, and I couldn't push it away even if I wanted to, so I had to let him.

The two came to the study slowly, Nancheng Mo helped Qin Mengyao sit on the chair, took out the paperweight from his arms, untied the small printed bag, and presented the paperweight glowing with crystal jade to Qin Mengyao. before.

But Qin Mengyao's face suddenly turned pale, his head suddenly tilted to the side, and he passed out.

The words that Nan Chengmo had prepared all the way with great difficulty were immediately forgotten, and after frantically pinching the person to pour water, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ha, so you're really here. It's really hard to find this little village of yours. You ran away without saying a word, which made it hard for me to find you!" Yan Ruo was originally following behind Mama Liu. When they arrived at Nancheng, Mo rushed over.

Nan Chengmo never thought that this woman would find his place so quickly, and before he could react, Yan Ruo's peach-like face was already close in front of him, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Girl, girl, you... ..."

"Who is she?" Qin Mengyao and Liu Ma questioned almost at the same time. Liu Ma thought that her young master had only been out for half a day, and she had attracted other girls to her home. She was proud of Nan Chengmo's charm, but Qin Mengyao Sitting right across from her, she couldn't help feeling a little worried. The young couple had been having a fight recently, and even Nan Cheng Mo had been driven into the study. Now, she might even jump into the Yellow River to wash it off.
