"Is this the place?"
Yan Jiu had found this place according to the note Gao Shou had given him. Looking at the door, Yan Jiu did not know what was waiting for him inside, but did he have a way out now?
Yan Jiu laughed at himself. He walked forward and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
A moment later, Yan Jiu heard a sound that sounded like spring rain.
Yan Jiu was stunned. Even though he had only met Gao Shou once, he could still recognize his voice. But if it wasn't Gao Shou, then who was it? Had he been tricked? However, who would joke about 10,000 yuan?
Although he was a little worried, he still pushed the door open with a nervous heart.
There was no scene like he had imagined, nor did he see Gao Shou. There was only a man in a long robe sitting in the middle of the courtyard, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully.
"Hmm? And you are?"
Huo Qingyi raised her head and looked at Yan Jiu. She couldn't help but ask when she realized that she didn't know him.
"Is this the correct address?”Yan Jiu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and showed it to Huo Qingyi.
Huo Qingyi put down the scroll in her hand and took the note. The address written on it was the address of her house.
After Huo Qingyi finished reading it, she returned the note and asked,""Who gave this to you, and why are you here?”
"A boss named Gao gave it to me. He told me to come over at nine o'clock and didn't say anything else.”Yan Jiu said.
"Oh? Was that so? Why don't you wait here? Do you want some tea?" Hearing Yan Jiu's answer, Huo Qingyi looked at him deeply and said,"
"No, no need…"
"I'd better have a drink. With his personality, he might not arrive on time.”Hearing Yan Jiu's rejection, Huo Qingyi smiled and shook her head. Then, she made him a cup of tea.
……
Time passed by slowly. Yan Jiu had been sitting there for half an hour. Although Huo Qingyi was beside him, he didn't move much other than reading and drinking tea.
Yan Jiu was not a person who could sit still, so he paced back and forth in the small courtyard. However, this courtyard was not big, so everything was very eye-catching, especially the black cloth bag that Gao Shou had found when he came here.
When Yan Jiu first saw the black cloth bag, his eyes were attracted to it. For some reason, he felt that this ordinary cloth bag was a little strange when he saw it.
Yan Jiu turned around and looked at Huo Qingyi. He realized that Huo Qingyi was still reading the book in his hand. Yan Jiu's heart was itching, so he walked over.
However, when he raised his hand and was about to touch a corner of the cloth, he realized that his hand could no longer move forward.
Yan Jiu turned his head and realized that Huo Qingyi had appeared beside him without him noticing. His hand was tightly gripping onto his own. His body looked weak, but he was unable to move even though he thought he was strong. Yan Jiu was both shocked and confused.
"Don't touch this thing." Huo Qingyi said expressionlessly.
" I..." Looking at Huo Qingyi's expressionless face, Yan Jiu was about to say something when he heard the door being pushed open. His gaze was attracted by the voice.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. Eh? What's going on with the two of you?"
Gao Shou had been in a hurry the entire way. When he reached Huo Qingyi's house, he pushed open the door with his palm. However, he realized that Huo Qingyi was holding onto Yan Jiu's arm. The two of them were looking at each other. When Gao Shou walked in, he couldn't help but feel like he had interrupted a good show.
Huo Qingyi looked at Gao Shou, then turned back to Yan Jiu and said,""Don't touch this thing."
Gao Shou followed the direction of Huo Qingyi's fingers and saw that Yan Jiu was about to take out the black cloth that he had seen yesterday. Gao Shou could almost remember the whole story in his mind.
"Humph! Wasn't it just a rag bag? What's so great about it? If I don't touch it, so be it. Is there some unspeakable secret hidden inside?”
As he spoke, Yan Jiu pulled Huo Qingyi's hand away from his arm.
Although the person in front of him did not give him face and made him very unhappy, now that Gao Shou was here, Yan Jiu still restrained himself and turned to look at Gao Shou.
However, when Yan Jiu looked at Gao Shou, he saw him smiling at him. Yan Jiu was shocked by Gao Shou's expression.
"How do you know that there's an unspeakable secret here?”Gao Shou smiled and pointed at the black cloth bag.
"Ah?"
Yan Jiu opened his mouth. He didn't expect Gao Shou to say this first. "Boss Gao, what do you mean? Also, what do you want me to do for you?”
Gao Shou didn't answer Yan Jiu directly. Instead, he turned to Huo Qingyi and said,""Scholar, I'll open this bag. Is there any problem?”
"It doesn't matter." Huo Qingyi glanced at Gao Shou, then at Yan Jiu, and spat out three words.
Gao Shou smiled and said to Yan Jiu,""Open it. Everything you want to know is inside.”
Looking at Gao Shou's smile, Yan Jiu's body could not help but tremble. Looking at Gao Shou's smile, he was like a human trafficker who was planning to kidnap a little girl step by step, trying to bring himself into the pit step by step.
"Why are you looking at me? Open it."
