Chapter 36 Stretch marks

Jian Tiansi is here, it depends on how Jian Tiansi handles it.

Based on Liu Xu's thoughts, this person might be in trouble.

It is a righteous deed to kill the couple of Jishengjiao and Ming Blacksmith.

At least in Liu Xu's view.

Ji Shengjiao and Ming Tiejiang couple, did not know how many **** things, **** debts.

When this master kills them, Liu Xu will applaud and applaud, but the official of Supervisor Tiansi also died, and the matter deteriorated.

With Supervisor Tiansi's temperament, it is estimated that this matter will be investigated to the end.

"I don't know why he killed the official..." Liu Xu rubbed his forehead, thinking so much, his head swelled slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xu decided to put the matter aside for the time being, and it's only a few days away, and wait until the person who supervises Tiansi arrives.

The night is already deep.

Catkins blows out the oil lamp, lies on the bed, and gradually falls asleep.

The next day.

Xu Bai got up early, washed up and went to the front yard.

In the courtyard, there are already bodyguards practicing hand styles.

Those who work in their line of work, although they only know some tricks, they still have to practice every day.

Some things will become rusty if you don't practice them, and they will be fatal at critical moments.

Seeing Xu Bai coming out, several escorts rushed to say hello.

Xu Bai nodded and ordered them to continue practicing and go out to eat alone.

The streets are still bustling with people, and the city atmosphere and noise are intertwined, making it extremely lively.

In front of the small stall, Xiaoyue is busy.

"After so long, the door is finally open."

Xu Bai walked over, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Xiaoyue trotting up to him.

"Big brother, is it still the same?" Xiaoyue lowered her head, feeling bad.

Xu Bai wanted to touch his head as usual, but seeing Xiaoyue's expression, he frowned.

"Has something happened at home?"

Ever since he came here to eat, Xu Bai has gradually become addicted.

Xiaoyue is very simple. After all, she is a six or seven-year-old girl, and she lives in a country similar to the ancient Great Viet. Most of the time, she maintains the unique temperament of a little girl.

Lively, but timid.

When you meet acquaintances, you will be innocent like a chirping swallow, and when you meet strangers, you will become like a quail.

Everyone likes beautiful things, so does Xu Bai.

Since he came to this world, he has had too much blood on his hands.

Even if he knew, these people would be damned if they provoked him.

But Xiaoyue's innocence opened up Xu Bai's heart a lot.

So seeing Xiaoyue dejected today, he asked a casual question.

"It's okay, big brother, just wait a moment, I'll get you food." Xiaoyue still lowered her head, said something, then turned and left.

According to his usual temperament, he must be holding his head up at this moment, as if begging to be patted.

Xu Bai stroked his chin, stared at Xiaoyue's back, and secretly said something strange.

In this case, something must have happened.

And it's not a small matter.

With the temperament of a little girl, she forgets small things in a while, which is very abnormal now.

The more Xu Bai thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Before he could think about it, a gust of wind blew past him.

Looking along the wind, a woman in white passed by him.

It's been a long time since I saw the woman in white. Xu Bai was a little surprised to meet him this time.

"Xiaoyue, here are two buns, pack them up." Liu Xu stood in front of the booth and said.

In addition to Xiaoyue, this small stall also has Xiaoyue's parents.

A middle-aged couple, plain looking, are busy in front of the stall, and Xiaoyue is in charge of running errands.

"Okay, Sister Liu." Xiaoyue was still not in a good mood.

At this time, Liu Xu also saw that something was wrong.

"What's wrong with you, Xiaoyue?"

"It's nothing, Sister Liu, maybe it's because of the cold recently." Xiaoyue forced herself to laugh.

Children don't lie.

Liu Xu took the bun, pulled Xiaoyue aside, and whispered to each other.

On the other side, the middle-aged couple knew Liu Xu's identity, so they didn't say anything, and the middle-aged woman served the dishes.

"Guest officer, take your time."

Xu Bai quickly served the buns. He took a bite and tried to **** up his ears, trying to eavesdrop.

Unfortunately, the noise from the street is too loud to be heard.

After a while, Liu Xu left, and Xiaoyue started to work again.

Xu Bai thought for a while, and after eating the buns, he called Xiaoyue over to pay the bill.

Xiaoyue hurriedly ran to the front, still pulling her head together.

Xu Bai put the money in Xiaoyue's palm and asked, "Xiaoyue, tell brother, what happened?"

"It's okay..." Xiaoyue smiled strongly.

Somehow, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

She couldn't control it and felt very uncomfortable.

"Xiaoyue...Xiaoyue is going to die."

Xu Bai's eyes froze, he frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Really, big brother, Xiaoyue dreamed of grandma a few days ago. Grandma said that she would take Xiaoyue to her place, and then she was listless every day. The old man said that if you dream of being invited by a deceased relative, you will die..." Xiaoyue said Crying, while speaking, kept wiping tears with his hands.

At this moment, Xu Bai noticed something unusual,

There is a strangle mark on Xiaoyue's neck.

It's not very obvious, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

"Big brother, Xiaoyue has something to go out for a while, so I won't tell you." Xiaoyue lowered her head and muttered.

Xu Bai didn't ask any more questions, and his eyes didn't leave Xiaoyue's neck.

Seeing Xiaoyue like this, it seems that she doesn't intend to say anything.

It is useless to ask again.

After Xiaoyue said something, she went back to the booth and was talking to the middle-aged woman.

In front of the booth, the middle-aged couple nodded to Xiaoyue, as if agreeing to Xiaoyue's request.

Then, Xiaoyue left.

Xu Bai thought for a while, stood up, supported the handle of the ghost knife, and followed behind Xiaoyue.

The street is lively, but Xiaoyue walks very slowly, as if she has lost her soul.

After walking several streets, Xiaoyue walked into a remote alley.

Standing in the alley, Xiaoyue stopped abruptly.

Xu Bai followed behind. Seeing this scene, he frowned slightly.

Beside Xiaoyue, a woman in white suddenly appeared and touched Xiaoyue's head.

"Sister Liu, can my illness really be cured?" Xiaoyue raised her head.

"It can be cured." Liu Xu knelt down and touched the strangle marks on Xiaoyue's neck: "You trust me."

Because her back was facing Xu Bai, when Liu Xu squatted down, the lower part of the white clothes was propped up.

Just the action of squatting down is fascinating.

Xiaoyue lowered her head again, in a bad mood, and kept wiping away her tears.

"Let's go, don't do anything stupid, take me to your house to see, sister can help you." Liu Xu got up, took Xiaoyue's hand, and left along this alley.

Xu Bai stood where he was, lost in thought.

Hand on the handle of the ghost knife, not letting go for a moment.

Hearing the conversation between the two, he already had an idea.

Xiaoyue seems to be sick, but the strangle marks on her neck are very strange.

It's like wrapping a rope around a circle.

The woman just said don't do stupid things, what does that mean?

"Look again."

Xu Bai stepped out of the alley and continued to follow quietly.
