Chapter 1475 Testing
"Brother Jiang, I know you are companions, but this kind of thing cannot be done carelessly. If you find it difficult, I can..."
Before Tang Qisheng finished speaking, Jiang Cheng was Interrupted, "You want too much?" "Yes, you are right. This kind of thing must be investigated whether everyone can survive."
Hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Tang Qisheng finally felt relieved, and then the two discussed that Jiang Cheng would call Li Bai into the room. Tang Qisheng was responsible for preparing the incense ashes.
Fortunately, Tang Qisheng had a few sticks of incense on him, which they brought out from the Hou Mansion.
There were no candles in the room, and the environment was very dim. The incense ash was spread so thinly behind the threshold that you wouldn't notice it unless you looked carefully.
After the preparations were completed, Jiang Cheng called Fatty and asked him to work with Yao, Shun and Yu to find a way to call Li Bai over.
Soon, Li Bai followed the fat man into the door. When Li Bai crossed the threshold, Jiang Cheng's heart finally fell into his stomach.
After entering the door, Li Bai didn't notice the incense ashes at all. This was what Jiang Cheng was most worried about. If Li Bai really found the incense ashes in the hidden place, it would arouse his suspicion. After all, he didn't think The real Li Bai can do this.
Li Bai couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw everyone in the room, and immediately explained: "I don't know why they care about me so much. I have explored their mouths, but these people are very tight-lipped. What? No useful information was revealed, so they must have some intention to treat me well.”
Yao Shunyu, who was standing by the door, nodded to Jiang Cheng, which meant that there was nothing wrong with the incense ash behind the door, and Li Bai's shoe prints were clearly printed on it.
There are two shoe prints in total, the other one is that of the fat man.
"Li Bai, don't think too much, we believe you are fine." Jiang Cheng spoke to calm her nervousness, and at the same time helped her analyze: "You are right, they may have some plot against you. , we have to find out, and all of us will help you get through this.”
"Now we need you to cooperate with us. Later, you will find an opportunity to lure those people away. We will find a way to enter Grandpa's room to check the painting."
Li Bai agreed. Everyone was hungry and stayed in the room. I simply ate something. These were all dry food brought from the Marquis Mansion, and even the water was stored in the water bladder.
Shao Tong took a bite of the hard cake, swallowed his saliva, and said with a strange smile: "These fishermen in the backcountry are so rich, they actually eat white rice openly. Life in the Hou Mansion is not so comfortable."
< br>The fat man's face changed, and even the cake in his mouth no longer tasted good. Only then did he realize the reason why the doctor didn't move his chopsticks.
In this era, no one has enough to eat, and rice is even more precious. Even the Marquis Mansion is no more. Where can the poor families in the fishing village get the money to buy rice? And each person opened a large bowl to eat?
“Is there something wrong with this... this rice?” The fat man realized after a while.
Tang Qisheng put down the water bag and said quietly with a cold face: "It's not just the rice that has a problem, I think the entire martial arts village has a problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Shunyu, who was guarding behind the door, made a sign of silence. A few seconds later a figure came to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, "outsiders, are you busy?"
Yao, Shun, and Yu opened the door. Standing outside the door was a 40-year-old man. A woman in her early years, with dark skin but shrewd eyes. Her gaze passed over everyone else, and finally fell on Li Bai. She said with a smile: "Sorry to disturb everyone, Miss Li, are you busy? My grandma I miss you so much, you just gave me The story she told made her very happy. Hey! I haven't seen her so happy for a long time since her beloved granddaughter left."
Jiang Cheng stood up and said politely: "Since the old man is happy. , then Li Bai, you sometimes Please spend more time with the elderly and walk with them."
Li Bai nodded very naturally, and then the woman took his wrist and left. From the beginning to the end, the woman's focus was on Li Bai and not on other people. Almost turning a blind eye.
There were still a few people gathered outside the door. Seeing Li Bai appear, the tense faces of these people relaxed, as if they were worried that Li Bai would run away.
"Damn it, you're so damn haunted." The fat man cursed secretly. The people outside were like wandering ghosts, staring at Li Bai, which was already a bit scary.
“Without further delay, let’s take action as soon as possible.” Tang Qisheng couldn’t wait to say: “Brother Jiang and I will find an opportunity to sneak into the room to look at the paintings, and the rest will help us attract the attention of the villagers. Is that okay?”
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Tang Qisheng turned around and prepared to take action, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng the next second, "Wait."
Tang Qisheng turned to look at Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng pointed to the incense ashes on the ground with a smile, and said in a natural tone: "Nothing else. Since Brother Fugui and Li Bai have tried it, we should all try it too, so that everyone can feel at ease."
Jiang Cheng understands the truth of darkness under the lamp better than anyone else. Although Tang Qisheng proposed stepping on incense ashes, whoever can guarantee him will have no problem. According to Jiang Cheng, Tang Qisheng, who suddenly discovered so many doubts, is the most suspicious.
Unknowingly, Yao, Shunyu and Fatty blocked the door to the left and right, Zhang Qizheng also stood beside Jiang Cheng, Shao Tong watched the fun by himself, Zhu Jie's expression became tense, and the atmosphere was clearly not right.
Tang Qisheng stepped forward obediently and stepped firmly on the incense ashes. Zhu Jie followed closely behind. After seeing two clear footprints, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Cheng and others came forward one after another, and everyone’s footprints were fine.
It is not a good thing to doubt teammates. After discovering that Tang Qisheng was indeed fine, Fatty suddenly felt a little embarrassed and worried that it would cause gaps in the team. However, what he did not expect was that Tang Qisheng was not angry, but He nodded with satisfaction, "No wonder Brother Jiang has been able to make it all the way to this point. He is indeed amazing. In the next mission, the two of us will only follow your lead. "
Jiang Cheng waved his hands quickly, laughed and laughed at himself and said: "Everything is just a little cleverness. It is not as talented and learned as Mr. Tang. He is already lacking in ability. If he is not careful, he may not know how he will die. ." The conversation changed later and his tone became more serious, "But if Mr. Tang can trust me, I believe we will work together happily."
After the crisis of trust was resolved, the entire team began to operate like a sophisticated instrument, with everyone performing their duties.
Li Bai gathered the villagers together, and everyone was chatting happily. Some of the remaining people were responsible for keeping an eye on the courtyard door, and others picked up brooms not far from Grandpa’s room to clean. While on sentry duty, Tang Qisheng from Jiangcheng sneaked behind the wall on the other side of Grandpa's room. After making sure it was safe, he opened the window and jumped in.
The room was very dark. Listening to the chatter and laughter coming from outside the door from time to time, Jiang Cheng turned on the light on his mobile phone. The light swept across, and the painting hanging on the wall became more and more weird. The Xiuling on the painting came alive. , as if smiling at them.
There will be more later
